NATURAL SPEED PLEASE
Hi! My name is Josh and I’m 14. I’m a freshman in Abraham Lincoln High School. It’s cool to be in the 9th grade ‘cos you have plenty of things to discover: new school, new places, new friends… Days are shorter than in middle school, so it’s great, you can have many after-school-activities.
In the morning, I usually cycle to school. I leave home at quarter to eight because in Abraham Lincoln School, the bell rings at 8 AM. After the pledge of Allegiance, the first period starts at five past eight. My favourite day is Tuesday because I attend the maths and IT classes. Indeed, I’m better at sciences than at literature! I always have lunch at school and I belong to the drama club. We meet at 1PM on Wednesday. I’m fond of acting! Last year, I played the role of Dracula!
My school is stricter this year because we aren’t allowed to have marks under the average. If we do, we have to stay later for extra training. Fortunately, we can be helped by older students.
School finishes at forty to three, then, I usually hang out with the Jocks because I love playing football and basketball. We often meet at the stadium. When I come back home, I sometimes take a nap, then I do the homework. I don’t have any part time job because my parents want me to study instead.
