Task №1. Ex 2 p 70 Students book. Read and listen to the text. Which subjects are difficult for Paul?
Journalist Paul Jones visits his old school after 25 years. He goes with his son, Matt, a student at the school. Are things different now? This is Paul’s diary:
Maths (double) The day starts at nine o’clock with maths. The teacher is Mrs Murphy. And she’s very strict. Maths is easy now – Matt always uses a calculator in class!
Break
Food technology This is a new subject for me. We study food, but we don’t cook it. Very strange!
PE Oh no! I’m 42 years old. I sometimes watch gymnastics on TV. It’s OK, but it isn’t my favourite activity.
Lunch The food in the school canteen isn’t bad. Matt isn’t happy because there aren’t any chips today.
ICT School subjects are different these days – they don’t study Latin now. This is difficult! I often use a computer at home, but in class I’m very slow and I don’t finish my project.
French Terrible! The teacher doesn’t speak in English and I don’t understand. And there’s an exam! Matt copies from his friend, I copy from Matt, and the teacher isn’t very happy. School finishes at half past three – phew!
Conclusion An interesting day. School is different these days but not very different. I don’t usually study, but it’s fun!
