1. Read. Write B (Birgit), M (Mehmet), or K (Karen).
BIRGIT FROM SWEDEN
I live in Helsingborg. I like summer best because we often go to the lake for weekends – we
go to bed late, but we sleep late, too! I love windsurfing but I don’t go surfing. I sometimes go
sailing with my friends. In the winter, I prefer to spend a lot of time with family. We often go to
a spa hotel to relax and have a swim.
MEHMET FROM EGYPT
I live in Alexandria in Egypt. I don’t like the summer because it’s really hot and I can’t sleep
at night. I like the months from September to December – it’s warm but it isn’t very hot. In the
spring and autumn I love playing football. In the winter, I love playing computer games at my
friend’s house, but I don’t like watching TV.
KAREN FROM THE UK
I live in the south of England. The summers are sometimes warm and I go swimming every
day from April to October. I love going out on cold days in December, January, and
February!
But in the evenings, I prefer playing cards at home with friends. I always go skiing in Canada
in January – it’s beautiful there!
