1 Last Saturday, I went to my very first concert. My best friend Lisa bought us two tickets for my birthday. The band was called "The Wild Beats" and they played at a big stadium in the city. We travelled there by train and met many other fans on the way. Some people even wore T-shirts with the band’s name on it.
2 The concert started at 8 PM. The lights went down, the crowd screamed, and the band ran onto the stage. They opened with their most famous song. I couldn’t believe how loud it was! Everyone was singing along. I knew the words to all the songs, and Lisa and I danced all night.
3 Halfway through the concert, the singer talked to the audience. He said he was happy to be there and thanked us for coming. That made me feel special. Later, they played two new songs that I hadn’t heard before. I liked them a lot.
4 The concert ended at 10:30 PM. Lisa and I were tired but very happy. It was an amazing evening, and I’ll never forget it. I took lots of photos and videos, so I can remember every moment.
1 Last month, I ordered a pair of headphones from an online store. The website said they had “great sound quality” and “long battery life.” I read a few good reviews, so I decided to try them.
2 When the package arrived, I was very excited. But when I opened the box, I saw that the headphones were scratched. One side was even broken. I tried to charge them, but the battery didn’t work. I couldn’t believe it — they were completely useless.
3 I immediately sent an email to the store. I explained the problem and asked for a refund or a new pair. It took them five days to reply. They said I needed to send a photo of the damage, which I did. After that, I didn’t hear anything for a week. I sent two more messages but got no reply.
4 Finally, after two weeks, they told me I could return the headphones — but I had to pay for the shipping myself. I found this very unfair. It wasn’t my fault the product was damaged. I decided not to return them, because the shipping costs were too high.
5 So now, I have a broken pair of headphones and no money back. I would not recommend this store to anyone. Their customer service is slow, and they don’t treat people well. Next time, I’ll buy from a shop I can trust.
Hi Emily,
I hope you’re well! I wanted to tell you about our school trip last week. We went to Curaçao for three days with our class. It was amazing! We stayed in a small hotel near the beach and did lots of fun activities.
On the first day, we visited a museum about the island’s history. It was interesting, and I learned things I didn’t know. Then we went to the beach. The water was so blue, and we swam for hours. In the evening, we had a barbecue with everyone — even the teachers!
The second day was my favourite. We went snorkelling near a reef and saw colourful fish. After that, we visited a local market. I bought a small gift for my mum. In the evening, we watched a movie together at the hotel.
On the last day, we had breakfast and then packed our bags. Before we left, we took a group photo on the beach. I didn’t want to go home — I had so much fun. It was great to spend time with my friends outside of school.
Anyway, I hope we can go on a trip together sometime. Tell me about your week!
Love, Sophie
1 Choosing a job is not always easy. Some young people know what they want to do from a young age. Others find it hard to decide. There are many jobs to choose from, and that can be confusing.
2 Many students talk to their parents or teachers when thinking about their future. Parents often want their children to have a safe and stable job. Teachers sometimes give advice based on what a student is good at in school.
3 Some students do an internship to find out what kind of work they like. For example, if someone likes working with their hands, they might try a job in construction or electrotechnology. If they enjoy helping people, they might look for a job in healthcare or social work.
4 It is also important to think about what kind of life you want. Do you want to work outside or inside? Alone or with people? Do you like routine, or do you prefer doing something different every day?
5 In the end, your choice should make you feel good. It’s okay to change your mind later. Many people don’t do the same job their whole life. What matters is that you start somewhere — and keep learnin
1 Last weekend, I had my Sweet Sixteen party. I had been looking forward to it for months. My parents helped me organise everything, and we invited about twenty friends.
2 We decorated the garden with fairy lights and balloons. There was a big table full of snacks and drinks. My best friend Carla made a chocolate cake — it was delicious! Everyone arrived around 7 PM, and the music started right away.
3 We played games, danced, and laughed a lot. I also opened my presents. I got a new phone case, some makeup, and even a gift card for my favourite shop. The best part was when my dad gave a funny speech about when I was little. Everyone was laughing!
Later in the evening, we lit some sparklers and took photos. It felt magical. I was really happy that so many people came to celebrate with me.
4 I went to bed very late that night — but it was worth it. I’ll never forget my Sweet Sixteen!
1 Last night I watched Speed Chase 3, the newest action movie in the series. I really enjoyed the first two movies, so I was excited to see this one. Unfortunately, it wasn’t as good as I had hoped.
2 The story was a bit confusing. The main character, Max, had to stop a group of criminals before they escaped the country. But there were too many action scenes and not enough story. Sometimes, I didn’t understand why the characters were doing things.
3 The acting was okay, but nothing special. The car chases were fast and exciting — that was the best part of the movie. The music was loud and dramatic, which made it feel more intense, but it got annoying after a while.
4 I think the film was too long. It lasted over two hours, and the last 30 minutes felt very slow. There was a big fight scene at the end, but it didn’t make much sense.
5 In short, I wouldn’t recommend Speed Chase 3. If you love action and don’t care much about the story, maybe you’ll enjoy it. But if you want something with a good plot and interesting characters, this movie isn’t for you.

1 Next month, Jayden will start his four-week internship at a small garage near his house. He is a bit nervous, but he is also excited. At school, Jayden has already practised many useful skills in the car mechanic workshop. He has learned how to use basic tools, check tyres, work safely and keep his workplace tidy.
2 However, working in a real garage will be different from practising at school. At the garage, Jayden will meet real customers, and the cars will not belong to teachers or classmates. His boss, Mr Lake, will explain the safety rules and show him what he is allowed to do. Jayden will not repair engines alone, but he will watch, help and ask questions.
3 During the internship, Jayden will also practise telephone calls with clients. He may have to answer the phone, ask for the client’s name, listen to the problem and write down a clear message. This worries him, because he sometimes forgets words when he is nervous. Nevertheless, he understands that good communication is part of the job.
4 By the end of the four weeks, Jayden hopes to feel more confident. He already knows that being on time, listening carefully and working neatly are just as important as being good with tools.

1 On Monday morning, Maya arrived at the animal shelter ten minutes early. She was doing her internship there because she loves animals and wants to become a veterinary assistant one day. Before she started, she imagined the work would mostly be fun and cute: feeding puppies, brushing cats and taking photos of animals. However, she soon discovered that an animal shelter is also a serious workplace with clear rules and responsibilities.
2 First, Maya had to clean the cages and fill the water bowls. After that, she helped an experienced volunteer, Mrs Brown, give medicine to a nervous dog. The dog was shaking because it had never been inside a shelter before. Maya spoke softly to it and moved slowly, so the dog would not become more frightened. After a few minutes, it became calmer. Mrs Brown smiled and said, “Patience is sometimes more useful than speed.”
3 During the week, Maya also answered simple questions from visitors. Some tourists only spoke English, so Maya had to explain which animals were ready for adoption. She did not know every word, but she spoke clearly, used gestures and stayed friendly. Because of that, the visitors understood her.
4 On Friday, Maya was tired but proud. She had cleaned, listened, helped and learned a lot. She also understood that school subjects are useful in real life. English helped her speak to tourists, biology helped her understand animal care, and maths helped her measure the right amount of food. Therefore, Maya decided to take school more seriously next year. Her internship had not only taught her about animals; it had also taught her something about herself.
