5TH COURSE. DIDACTIC UNIT 1. INTRODUCING YOURSELF. (READING COMPREHENSION)

Read the following letter. Then choose the correct option for the different questions:

     Hi, how are you?.

     My name is Craig and I´m ten years old.

    I am English because I was born in England, but I am also British because England is part of Great Britain and is in the UK.

     I live in a typical English family. I have a father, mother and a sister and we all live together in our house in a town in the south east corner of England. At the back of our house we have our garden where I play with my sister.

     We have two cars because both my mum and dad need ir for work. My parents have laptops but my sister and I use our tablets for schoolwork. We also watch videos and have videomeetings with our friends. . Mum and dad both have mobile phones and I am hoping to get one when I start secondary education.

     The day starts at about 7 o'clock when Dad and mum get up. My sister and I usually watch telly in our pyjamas (night clothes) until breakfast. We have breakfast at 8 o' clock.

     I like to eat Rice Krispies (cereal) and jam on toast. I also drink a glass of milk. My mum usually only has toast, a glass of orange juice and a cup of coffee. Dad likes to have a fried breakfast consisting of baked beans, bacon, tomatoes,mushrooms, two eggs and a sausage

     After breakfast, my sister and I, put on our school uniform. I wear grey trousers, a white shirt and a blue sweat shirt.

     My favourite subjects at school are science and history. My favourite topic in history is learning about the ancient Egyptians. I also enjoy PE  lessons - we play football, netball, cricket and sometimes we go cross-country running.
