Unusual homes
Lucia’s apartment is in the center of Chicago. It’s at the top of a tall tower. The tower is 286 meters high! It’s a very modern apartment. There are big windows in all the rooms. The apartment is big, with four bedrooms. Lucia’s bedroom is really cool. The furniture is red and black, and the walls are white. There are posters of her favorite movie stars on the walls. There’s a big wardrobe with a mirror near the window. Her TV is on a shelf opposite the bed, and her computer is on the desk under the TV.
Oscar’s house is extraordinary! It’s an old plane! It’s on an island near Washington DC. His house isn’t very big, but it’s 70 meters long. There aren’t any stairs. There’s a living room with lots of small windows. There’s a small dining room, three small bedrooms, and a bathroom. The kitchen is small, but there’s a stove, a refrigerator, and some cupboards. Outside, there are two tables and some chairs. The house is near the Potomac River. It’s fantastic in summer!

Preparing to be a tennis champion
Thirteen-year-old Julia Moreno from Barcelona, Spain, has a special dream. She wants to be a tennis champion and win the world’s top competitions.
Julia loves tennis and she plays every day. She gets up at six o’clock in the morning and plays tennis for an hour before school. After school, she goes back to the tennis club for a lesson from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Then, she plays tennis with her dad for an hour, or she sometimes goes swimming. After that, she does her homework and has dinner. Once a month, she goes to a special tennis academy for lessons. At the academy she also does gymnastics, and she sometimes plays volleyball with other teenage tennis players.
Julia’s dad says, “Julia wants to be number one and she works very hard. It isn’t always easy for her. She doesn’t often meet her friends or go out like other teenagers.” But Julia says she’s happy. “Tennis is my passion. My friends are fantastic. They often watch me play.”

Superheroes
My favorite computer game character is Mario. This funny little man is the hero of over two hundred games. Mario is an Italian-American man. He lives in a place called the Mushroom Kingdom. Mario has a brother, Luigi. Luigi is in some of the games and also in the TV cartoon series. Mario only has one superpower – he can jump – and in one game his name is Jumpman! Mario usually protects Princess Peach from a dangerous character called Bowser. I like all the Mario games, but my favorite is Super Mario Bros Wii because I can play it with my friends. Owen (13)
Lara Croft is my favorite computer game character. She’s the hero of the Tomb Raider series. There are over fifteen games, and they’re all fantastic. In real life, Lara Croft is from London, England. In the games, she goes to lots of different countries. Lara Croft doesn’t have superpowers. She’s a good sportswoman and she can speak different languages. There are also Tomb Raider comics and movies, but I prefer the games. My favorite game is Tomb Raider: Underworld. My favorite movie is Tomb Raider II: The Cradle of Life. Angelina Jolie is Lara Croft and she’s amazing! Jenny (14)

Vacation in Mexico
Hi Liz,
I’m writing this e-mail from a hotel in Mexico. I’m on vacation here with my parents, my brothers Tom and Frank, and our cousin Susan. We’re staying in a really cool hotel by the sea. Right now, I’m sitting near the hotel swimming pool and I’m using dad’s laptop computer. I’m writing e-mails to all my friends back home. Susan is sunbathing by the pool and she’s becoming very red! Frank is playing volleyball on the beach with some young people. It’s great because there are lots of teenagers at the hotel. Dad is reading a Mexican newspaper. The newspaper is in Spanish and dad can’t understand it. He isn’t very happy! Mom is writing postcards to all her friends.
Tom is sitting in the bar at the moment. He’s talking to a girl from Florida. He’s buying her an ice cream! I think he likes her!
Are you having a good vacation in Brazil? Are there other teenagers at your hotel?
Write soon.
