My name is Deborah and I live PS Johannesburg, South Africa. At the moment my family is

looking …PC……. for a place (house or apartment ) because we are moving … PC ……. Actually, I have … PS …….two houses because my mom and my dad don't live ... PS … together.

At the moment I am studying (study) English.

Now complete the rest of the text about Deborah using the Present Simple or the Present Continuous.

Anyway, looking for a place to live in Johannesburg means looking for something super-safe

and secure because crime is a big problem over here. So we are looking (look) for a place near

my school so can walk there.

I have (have) a brother, Doug, but he doesn’t live (not live) with me and my mom. Doug is 27, and

he is a doctor. Doug works / is working (work) as a volunteer for the organization Doctors Without

Borders, so he’s away (está viajando) all the time. Right now he is helping (help) to take care of

poor people in Somalia. My mom thinks (think) Doug is doing something really heroic, but she

worries (worry) all the time, because Somalia is a very dangerous place at the moment.

________________________________________________ Bruna Figueira, 13, lives with her mom, dad and two younger sisters in an apartment building in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. There’s a big playground, a tennis court and two swimming pools that are part of the complex, which is surrounded by many tropical fruit trees where little monkeys come every day looking for lunch. These little monkeys jump over walls and through the court where Bruna and her sisters, Bárbara, 8, and Bianca, 9, have tennis and soccer classes. Just beyond the walls is one of Rio’s favelas, an area where some of the city’s poorest people live in handmade houses that often have no

running water. The favelas are dangerous places, often run by gangs. They can be found in poor areas of Rio as well as in much nicer neighborhoods like Bruna’s. From her apartment’s balcony, Bruna can see two sides of her city: the poverty of the favelas and the majesty of the famous statue of Christ the Redeemer. Violence that is common in the favelas is one reason that Bruna rarely goes out alone. She can play inside the apartment complex, but must be accompanied by an adult to go most places in town. “Sometimes I stay alone at home, but just for a short time,” she says while playing with Teca, a Calopsita

bird that is native to Australia. Teca had her wings cut; so while she can’t fly, she can roam in the apartment. Bruna goes to one of the best private schools in town, not far from her home. In many schools students choose to study either in the morning or in the afternoon. Bruna goes to school from 1 p.m. until 5:30 p.m. She gets a ride from her family’s driver, which is not uncommon, but other families join together to rent a small van to transport the children. On weekends, Bruna often goes to a swimming pool with her family. Sometimes they all go to one of the famous beaches in town. One of her favorite after-school activities is street dancing. She also likes to read novels and listen to music on her iPod on the balcony of her apartment. In the morning, before school, she studies and does her homework. After school, Bruna usually watches TV. Whenever she can, Bruna uses her computer to watch videos on YouTube or chat with friends. But her parents allow her to use the computer on weekends and for only a limited period during the week. “If I could,” she says, “I would be on it always!”— Sabrina Valle

E. Past Simple – To BeJerry Spinelli - Author

Jerry Spinelli is the author of more than a dozen books, including Newbery Medal winner, Maniac

Magee, and Stargirl, an ALA Top Ten Best Book for Young Adults. Use the verb to be in the past

to complete the questions some kids asked him for this interview.

1. Where were you born?

I was born in Norristown, Pennsylvania.

2. Was your father a writer?

No, my father wasn’t a writer.

3. What was your favourite subject at school?

My favourite subject at school? Hmm… I think it was science. No! English, of course!

4. Were you a good student?

Well, yes. I think I was a good student. I really liked learning things.

F. Past Simple Regular and Irregular VerbsRead the text about Jerry Spinelli and use the verbs from the box below in the past to fill in the

blanks.

Tip: Read the whole story before you begin to complete the text. Think about the possible verbs

for each gap, then do the exercise. When you finish, read the text again to see if it makes sense.

6

want play think go not become write

not give up be (2X) not be (2X) like win have

Thoughts from Jerry Spinelli: Many writers say they wanted to be writers since they were little kids. Not me. I wanted to be a

cowboy. Then, when I was about ten years old, I wanted to be a baseball player. I played baseball

in junior high and high school. But I wasn’t very good at it.

Then, one day our high school football team won a heart-stopping (very important!!!) game

against one of the best teams in the country. Everybody was happy, the whole town celebrated.

You know what I did? I went home and wrote a poem about the game. A few days later the poem

was published in the local newspaper, and suddenly I had a new idea: I wanted to become a

writer. But I didn’t become a famous writer until many years later. My first four books were books

for adults. They weren’t very good, I guess, because nobody liked them, so I never published

them! But I didn’t give up! Finally, my 5th book was published. An editor read the book and he

thought it was a book for kids! And that's how, by accident, I became an author of books for kids!

G. Question Form – Past Simple – Regular and Irregular VerbsSome kids interviewed Jerry Spinelli. Write their questions, according to the underlined parts of the

answers.

Tip: Think about the questions words (what, where, when, why, how, who…) you have to use,

and IF you have to use them (or not!).Don’t forget to use the auxiliary verb in the past and the

7

main verb in the base form. Finally, read the questions you wrote and the answers again to check

if they make sense!

1. Did you live in an apartment when you were a child?

No, I didn’t live in an apartment when I was a child.

2. Where did you go to college?

I went to Gettysburg College.

3. How long did it take you to write your first book?

It took me 6 months to write my first book.

4. What kind of sports did you like (when you were a kid / child)?

Oh, I liked all kinds of sports. But baseball was my favorite.

5. Why did you want to be a writer?

I wanted to be a writer because I liked to imagine stories.

6. Did you have good grades at school?

Yes, I had good grades at school. I wasn’t first in my class, but my grades were good.

7. When did you win the Newbery Medal?

I won the Newbery Medal in 1991.

8. How did you feel (when you won it)?

I felt very excited, of course!

later, when the company promised to protect the tree. All this time her friends were very helpful

They cooked for her and they supported her.

2. Jane is a marine biologist. She does research on sea animals and she spends a long time

under the sea. Sometimes she works alone, in a small submarine, watching the fish and other sea

creatures. “I don’t get lonely,” she says. “When I am in the submarine, it’s like I’m visiting my

friends. I feel very sad when I get out of the submarine and go back home. I love being a scientist.
