Read and complete Masami’s language passport.
Masami is 12 years old. She lives with her parents, her sister, her brother and her grandparents in a rural area near Furukawa in Japan. Her house is small and very old. She always wakes up at seven o’clock and helps with the household chores. She usually feeds the animals, but sometimes she has to sweep the yard too. When she finishes, she always has a wash and changes into her school uniform. She catches the bus to school which is about half an hour away. Masami starts school at 8.30. There are 35 pupils in her class. In Japan, the primary school children study Japanese, Maths, Science, Social Studies, Music, Crafts and P.E. They also study traditional Japanese arts such as shodo (calligraphy) and haiku, an old form of Japanese poetry. In shodo the children use a special brush and ink to draw letters (kanji) which have special meanings. Masami’s favourite subject is Music. When she is older, she wants to be a pianist. She also likes drawing. Her favourite food is udon noodles.
