Do you have a big family?
Dear Yoko
Let me tell you about my family. I live with my mum, my dad and my big sister. We live in California. My mum’s name is Carmen. She’s Mexican and she speaks English and Spanish. She’s a Spanish teacher. She’s short and slim, she’s got long, brown hair and brown eyes. My dad’s name is David. He’s American. He’s tall and a little fat! He’s got short brown hair and blue eyes. He works in a bank. My sister Shania is 14 and she loves listening to music. She listens to music all the time! She’s got long brown hair and green eyes, like me. I’ve got long hair too. We’ve got a pet dog, Brandy. He’s black and white and very friendly.
Write soon and tell me about your family.
Love
Kelly

Read about this very strange hotel, then answer the True/False questions.
What would your life be like if you were Albert Einstein. What clothes would be in your wardrobe if you were Marilyn Monroe? Or Madonna?
Well now you can discover the answer to all these questions and many more at the Fame Hotel in California. Ten miles outside Los Angeles, the Fame Hotel promises to answer the question “What if?”. When you check into the hotel, you choose a room. Each room has a name. There’s Clint Eastwood on the second floor and Elvis Presley on the third floor. In total, the Fame Hotel has 32 rooms, most of which are named after stars of Hollywood or music. But there are also famous writers (Mark Twain and Agatha Christie) and even some scientists and sports stars, such as Mike Tyson.
When you enter the room, you enter the life of that person. There are pictures everywhere. The owner of the hotel has tried to fill the room with objects, clothes, even food that he thinks the stars would have liked. Marilyn Monroe’s wardrobe is full of beautiful white dresses, Albert Einstein doesn’t have any socks in his wardrobe because the real Einstein never wore them! If you choose Mike Tyson’s room, you’ll be able to practice boxing in one corner of the room. And there’s even a skipping rope too!
I spoke to one guest staying in the Elvis Presley room. “I love this hotel,” he said to me. “I wanted to know ‘What would Elvis Presley eat for breakfast?’ and now I know”. That guest eats pancakes and strawberry ice cream every morning, just as Elvis liked to do. On the next table, the Einstein room’s guest is eating cabbage soup!
The company plans to open another Fame Hotel in New York next year and there are plans to expand into Europe too. I look forward to staying in the Winston Churchill suite in London!

Mark and Ava decided to have a picnic in the back yard.
“I brought bread and cheese,” Mark told his sister.
“I brought carrots,” Ava said, “but I wish we had fruit.”
“We do,” said Mark. “We can pick berries off our bushes.”
Ava smiled. “Okay. We better hurry. Those look like rain clouds.”
They quickly began picking berries. The wind started to blow.
They picked faster.
Suddenly, thunder boomed. Then, rain poured down!

“It does not have to be rained out!” Ava said. “We can have a

Greeting
There are different ways to greet people:
Greeting means welcoming someone with particular words or a particular action.
When meeting people formally for the first time, we greet by shaking hands and saying “How do you do?” or “Pleased to meet you.”
“How do you do?” isn’t really a question, it just means “Hello”.
When young people meet informally they sometimes greet and say “Give me five!” and slap their hands together (high five).
Generally we do not greet by shaking hands with people we know well. We greet by just saying ‘hi’ or ‘hello’
Here are some expressions you can use to greet people.
Greeting
Hi, hello.
- Good morning, good afternoon, good evening.
- How are you?
- How are you doing?
- How do you do?
Responding to greeting
- Hi, hello.
- Good morning/Good afternoon/Good evening.
- I’m fine thank you (thanks)/Okey! Thank you (thanks)/Can’t complain/Not bad.
- How about you?/And you?
- How do you do?
Things to remember about greeting:
When you greet someone and say:
“How do you do?“
this isn’t really a question, it just means “Hello”.
