(1)   Nowadays, many people read more on computer screens than in books. There are several
advantages of this, but also some disadvantages.
(2)   One advantage is that books are big and heavy, but a computer can store thousands of
them. This means that you don’t have to carry or store large items. Another advantage is
that it is easy to share articles with lots of people, just by sending them.
(3)   However, there are also disadvantages. One disadvantage is that computers can crash,
losing the files. Another problem is that reading from a screen for a long time can hurt your
eyes.
(4)   In conclusion, reading from a screen is a very good way of reading, but it has some
problems. For this reason, I think that there will always be people who prefer books.

The house he lives in belongs to his parents, but they don’t live there because they have another house nearby. He has
a collection of model cars, because he loves cars. The car he drives is a Japanese sports car – it’s amazing. He sometimes
lets me drive it too. Jamie also loves football. Real Madrid is his favourite team, and he gets angry when they lose.

Paragraph 4 – when I met Hussain


•  last Eid – Juma’s house
•  Hussain – great advice about studying
•  Hussain – very good at football!

My friend Juma has an interesting uncle, Hussain, who has lived on three different continents. Hussain was born in Holland,
because Juma’s grandfather, who was from Bahrain, worked for a company in the capital, Amsterdam. Hussain went to
school in Holland, where he learned Dutch and English, but he spoke Arabic at home, so he speaks three languages perfectly.
At school he was brilliant at science, so later he went to university to study physics.
After university, Hussain went to America to work on an important project. He quickly became team leader, and later he
was promoted to general manager. When that job finished, he went back to Bahrain and started his own company. He soon
employed over 300 people, drilling and mining in the desert areas.
In Bahrain, he got married and had four children: two boys and two girls. His wife is also a scientist, but she looks after
the children now. Juma visits Hussain at Eid and other holidays, and he gets on very well with the children. Most of all, he
likes to talk to Hussain, who has lots of interesting stories about life in Holland.

Learning English can seem difficult, but it is possible if you practise regularly and really want to learn the most
important thing, in my opinion, is to read in English as much as possible reading helps your English improve in many
ways you also need to focus on vocabulary, and try to use the new vocabulary you learn spelling is another important
thing when you learn English, because English spelling is different from other languages and you need to practise it it
is also very useful to practise writing as often as possible, for example by writing emails to your teacher or friends

Hi Marlene,
Thanks for your email. You asked me about my experience of learning English. I will tell you all about it.
Well, you probably think it is very difficult. (1)        , it isn’t, if you follow some simple steps.
First of all, I think you should get some lessons, like I did. (2)        , you will probably have to
pay for these, but it will be more fun if you are in class and you will learn faster if you have a teacher.
(3)        , you will only learn if you work hard! I also found that it helps to be organized –
buy some good notebooks and pens, make a good plan of what you need to learn, and so on.
(4)        , that’s enough about how to do it – actually, the most important thing is that you
want to learn. I keep reminding myself how important English is for my future career!
I have to go to class now.
Love,
Amélie
