My School Life

Leo

I started primary school when I was five. At first, I loved painting, but now I prefer history. My teacher is excellent and tells amazing stories about the past. However, I'm not very good at maths because the numbers are always difficult for me. Last year, I joined the chess club. I thought it would be boring, but I actually enjoy it a lot now. I practice every Wednesday afternoon. My parents wanted me to learn the piano, but I stopped those lessons because I wanted more free time to play with my friends.

Maria

School is a very important part of my life. I study many different subjects like geography, science, and music. I'm quite good at all of them, so I can't really say that I enjoy one of them more than the others. I like the variety of my timetable. My favorite place is the music room because it has a large piano and many drums. I've tried other hobbies like photography and cooking, but I always come back to my instruments. I find playing music very relaxing after a busy day of studies.

Nico

I've always played a lot of sports. I love being outside in the playground with my classmates. I think quiet places like the library are a bit boring because there isn't much to do there. I prefer the noise and the crowd during a football match. I'm the best runner in my team, and it is hard to catch me when I’m running fast. I want to travel to different countries to play in a big stadium one day. For me, school is only exciting when we have sports competitions.

Who changed their mind about a subject they liked in the past?

Who prefers being in a loud and busy environment?

Who is good at many subjects but doesn't have a favorite one?

Who finds it hard to learn about numbers?

Who finds school less interesting when it is quiet?

Who started an activity that they thought would not be fun?

Who thinks that playing music helps them feel less stressed?

Teenage Chess Player

Maya Silva is a talented chess player. She has lived in Spain since she was ten years old. Her parents moved there with the whole family four years ago. Now, at the age of 14, many people think Maya could become a very famous player.

Maya's father is a good player, but Maya didn't learn until she was nine. 'Some of my classmates wanted to join a chess club even though they didn't know the rules!' she says. 'Actually, a kind neighbor who is an expert taught me in the park near my house.'

Maya wins many competitions. She has made some money, but that’s not her favorite part. She travels to many countries, too, but she says it is often boring. 'For me, the best thing is seeing beautiful cities and famous buildings. I love taking photos of them.'

In her free time, Maya likes watching TV because she wants to relax. 'My friends love horror movies or funny cartoons. I prefer music programs. If there isn't a good song, I turn the television off.'

Maya is not sure about her future. 'I don't think I will be the best player in the world,' she says. 'But who knows?' She is thinking about going to university to study science and become an engineer. However, she is sure that she will always play chess for fun.
