1 Maria I’m eighteen on Saturday and I’m having a party. I’m really looking
forward to it. It’s in a restaurant, and all my family and friends are coming.
We’re having dinner first, then there’s a band, so we can all dance! I’ve got a
fantastic new dress. It’s long and red. I feel very grown up when I wear it.
2 James I’m going to a concert next month. It’s my very first concert. I’ve got
two tickets to see my favourite band of all time – Biffy Clyro. It’s in London.
I’m taking my best friend Alex. My dad’s driving us there. Then we’re staying
in a hotel that night. I’m so excited. I can’t wait.
3 Saffy My brother’s getting married and I’m his bridesmaid. I have to wear a
long dress. I really don’t like dresses; I prefer jeans. But I’m happy about the
wedding. It’s in a big hotel in the city. It’s quite a big wedding party; eighty
people are coming. My brother’s a bit nervous, but I’m looking forward to it,
apart from the dress!
4 Marcus I’ve got an important tennis tournament to play this weekend. And I
want to win it. It’s my last chance to win the under-eighteens championship.
I compete every year but I never win it. I’m always second! But this year my
tennis is really good and I think that I can win it. I’m nervous, but excited, too.
5 Clare My sister Paula is having a baby next month. Paula is very big now.
She’s feeling fine, but she can’t walk very fast! We don’t know if it’s a boy or
girl. Paula says she doesn’t mind, she just wants it to be healthy. But I want it
to be a boy, because we haven’t got a brother
