Sue: I’m Sue and I’m one of the people
who cooks the school meals at Sutton High
School. It’s a great job. I love cooking. I like
making different meals every day. We always
make four different meals for the children
to choose from. And we always try to cook
food that the children like. We cook a lot
of vegetables, and there is always one meal
with meat and one with fish every day. We
don’t give the children things like burgers
because we want the children at Sutton High
to eat food that’s good for them. One of the
favourite meals here is a big plate of meat and
vegetables. But there are always sandwiches
for children who aren’t very hungry. The
children at Sutton High love coming into the
dining room for their lunch!

Shop Assistant: How much do you want to

Mike: Between £50 and £60 is fine. I don’t
want anything more expensive than that.
Shop Assistant: Is there any particular make
you want? Nike? Adidas?
Mike: No, not really. I want them to be smart
though so I can wear them to school as well
as for sport.
Shop Assisant: Well, ok. This pair are £49.99.
They’re Adidas and we’ve got them in green,
blue and white. They’re a good general
trainer. Very popular this year, actually. We’ve
also got this pair which are also Adidas.
They’re £55.00. I think they’re very smart.
They’re more expensive but very popular and
we’ve got them in yellow, red and blue.

bedroom’s great! It’s not like a lot of teenage
bedrooms. My bedroom is very small and it
is always tidy. There are two small wardrobes
behind the door, and all my clothes and
shoes are in them. There aren’t any windows
in my bedroom and there aren’t big walls to
put posters on. There’s a big box under my
bed. My books and my toys are in the box.
So, where is my bedroom? It isn’t in a house

ello and welcome to this guided tour of
H
Dorothy Chatwick’s house – one of England’s
most famous artists. As you can see, her
house wasn’t very big. It has only got one
bedroom upstairs, and a small bathroom.
And the toilet is outside! Downstairs, the
cottage hasn’t got a dining room. There is
just a table in the kitchen. This is Dorothy’s
living room. It has got two large chairs and
a very large window out onto the garden. As
you can see the garden is big and beautiful –
full of lovely flowers.

Man: And the match is starting – The Reds
versus The Blues. And look at that kick!
Bingham is running up the field already and
… yes, he’s kicking the ball to Blake and
Blake’s running and he’s running and … it’s
a goal! Amazing – in the first two seconds
of the match – a goal for The Reds!!!!! Now
the other players are waiting for the ball
… and Gregory is chasing the ball … and
he’s kicking it to Martin. But look, Blake is
shouting at the referee. What’s happening?
The referee is blowing his whistle and …
showing Blake the yellow card! No … it’s
a red card! He’s telling Blake to leave the
match! One of the players from The Reds –
Wilson - is saying something to the referee
… he’s asking ‘Can Blake play for five more
minutes?’ Oh no, now the referee is showing
HIM a yellow card. What a crazy game this is!
