Dear Haruto
My name's Maria and I go to a small Primary school in Oxford, England. We
wear a uniform at school every day. We have English every morning. I like
English the best! After that, we have break at 10 o'clock. I sometimes play
football with my friends. At 10.15, we have ICT on Mondays, Wednesdays
and Fridays, and we have art on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We have lunch at
12.30. I like lunchtime because we can eat with our friends. Today, we're
eating meat and vegetables, and we're having a chat. After lunch, we have
two more lessons and then we have after-school clubs. I have drama club
twice a week. It's great! On Thursdays, I always play basketball. It's fun!
Best wishes

36 Walsgrave Road
Oxford
Dear Haruto
My name’s Maria and I go to a small Primary school in Oxford, England. We
wear a uniform at school every day. I wear a white shirt and a blue skirt. We
have PE twice a week. I like PE the best. We have a break at 10 o’clock and I
sometimes play football with my friends. We have English on Mondays,
Wednesdays and Fridays at 10.15, and we have ICT on Tuesdays and
Thursdays. We have lunch at 12.30. I like lunchtime because we can eat with
our friends. I think it’s good to eat with my friends and chat about our
activities. Today, we’re eating meat and vegetables, and we’re playing a great
game. It’s really good fun! After lunch, I always have art and one other class,
then we have after-school clubs. I have drama club twice a week. It’s great!
On Thursdays, I always play handball and on Saturdays we have a game at
school. I love it!
Best wishes

Bangladesh
Bangladesh is one of the wettest countries on Earth.
From November to May, it’s quite dry, but from June
until October, there is water everywhere. They can’t walk
into town because the water is too deep, so they can’t
go to their school in town. During these months,
children go to school on boats on the river. There can
be groups of 30 students in lessons on the boat. They
don’t wear uniforms. Today, the library boat is waiting
for them on the river. It’s a bigger boat than their usual classroom boat. It has hundreds of
books and it has computers, too. The students have ICT on the library boat. They also have
break on the boat. The students chat and play games at break. They can’t play basketball!

Bangladesh
Bangladesh is one of the wettest countries on Earth.
From November to May, it’s quite dry, but from June
until October, there is water everywhere. Children
can’t walk into town because there is a lot of water
in the streets, and it is very deep.
At these times, children go on boats on the river.
The boats stop at different places on the river and
more children get on. There are lots of trees and
wildlife near the river. The children like watching the birds and monkeys in the forest, but
they aren’t on the boats to enjoy nature. The boats are their school! Today, on one of the
boats, there are 30 students having a lesson. They are on the library boat. It’s a bigger boat
than their usual classroom boat. It has hundreds of books, and it has computers as well. They
have ICT on the library boat. They stay on the boat all morning. At break, the students can’t
play football or basketball because there isn’t enough room on the boat! So, they chat and
play games.

E Why is Bangladesh special? It’s one of the wettest places on Earth.

1 Which are the wettest months?
2 Why can’t children always go to school in town?
3 How do children travel in the summer?
4 Where can the children see animals?

6 How many students are on the library boat today?
