My name’s Bob, and my friend’s name is Pat. Today, we wanted to go to the library, but we didn’t know how to get there. Pat asked me, “Bob, where is the library?” “I don’t know,” I answered. However, we found it on the school map. We walked along Red Street, then turned left onto Blue Street. It’s next to the sports centre. We went into the library and looked at all the books in the bookcases. There are many kinds of books here. Pat took two comic books and sat on the chair. He read those books for two hours. He felt tired and hungry. So, we took a bus and then came back home.

I live in a big city. My house is near a bank, a supermarket and a swimming pool. I sometimes go shopping with my mum at the supermarket on Sundays. I like buying toys and ice cream. On Saturday mornings, I often go swimming with my dad. We swim for about an hour, then go home and enjoy lunch with mum. Living in a big city is more exciting, but it is noisier than living in a small town.

The Library

The library is a good place to be on a wet day. You can find the answers to all your questions there.

When you want to know something about the world you live in, there are a lot of books to read. You can learn about mountains, rivers, animals or the stars.

You can take the books home with you for three weeks.

The library is a great place to do your homework because it is always very quiet, so try not to talk loudly when you are there.

Some libraries have shops, and you can buy things like pens and maps there. There is sometimes a café. Try to go to the library more often!

The New House

My name’s Jack and I live with my mum and dad and my younger sister, Daisy. She’s five. Last week, we moved to a new house. Dad said, “It’s got a great garden.” Daisy was very excited. But I didn’t want to go because my best friend lived in the old house next to ours.

Last Saturday, a big truck came to our house. Two men carried our things, three boxes of my toys and comics to the truck. They were working, having sandwich, talking and laughing. Finally, they closed the doors of the truck. There was nothing in our house. I felt sad. Daisy cried, but I didn’t.

Dad drove us to our new house. It was a big house in the countryside. Mum went in and shouted, “Jack, come and see your new bedroom.” I ran upstairs. My room was at the top of the house. I looked out of the window and saw a field with sheep and cows. Then, I looked at the house next to ours. It had a swimming pool, and there was a boy in it – I thought he would be my new friend!
