Life near the beach

Hi! My name is Liza. I’m 9 years old and I live in Barcelona, Spain. It’s
usually really sunny in Barcelona. I love living here because we live
near the beach. I go to the beach every day with my older sisters and
we collect shells. We always go in the morning because it’s usually too
hot in the afternoon. When we get home, we choose the prettiest shells
and use them to make a collage.

Hi! My name is Dora, I’m 7 years old and I’m from Acapulco, in
Mexico. Acapulco is a beautiful city near the sea. Every weekend, I
go with my mum and my brother to the beach. My brother explores
rock pools and collects shells but I don’t like doing that. When I go to
the beach I love taking lots of photos. I have a picture of my mum
swimming, it’s great!

Hi! My name is Tana and I’m 10 years old. I’m from Miami, in the USA.
I live with my mum, my dad, and my little sister. They all love living here
and going to the beach, but I don’t really like the sea. I can’t swim and I
hate playing sports at the beach. But I like making sandcastles and
collecting shells from the beach. I always enter a sandcastle
competition with my sister and we always make the biggest sandcastle!

B. READ AND ANSWER. (10)

Hello! My name is Dan and I live in Brighton,

England. I am twelve years old. I live in a big
house with my mother Ursula, my sister, Lila, and
my dogs, Spark and Toby.
I like living in Brighton because it’s near the
sea. I love going to the beach in summer! It’s my
favourite season. You can do water sports, like sailing, swimming and kayaking. My
favourite sport is surfing. There are animals in the rock pools, too. When it is sunny, I
always play volleyball with my sister. She’s very good at it! But when it rains, we
can’t go to the beach, so we usually stay at home and read books.
Last Sunday, my grandma came to the beach, too. We had a picnic near the
sea. After lunch, we went for a walk together. We took lots of photos. It was fun!
