My favourite kind of art is photography, which some people say isn’t art at all. Woman: You’d love Caroline Kitchen’s stuff.

He makes things like bowls that are smooth and shiny inside but with a very bumpy surface outside. I love that. Boy: You should go to the Carlton Gallery.

The first things you see are a pair of enormous pillars made of stone. Then you walk into a courtyard. There’s a fountain in the middle that still works. Boy 2: Water comes out? Boy 1: Yes, and people throw coins into it. There used to be a statue as well. Boy 2: Are there lots of mosaics? Boy 1: There’s only one mosaic, just inside the front door. You can look at it but you can’t walk on it. Boy 2: Can’t you go inside at all, then? Boy 1: Yes, you can, because the floors in the rest of the house aren’t made of mosaics. They’re just tiles. There are some stairs outside the house. You go up these to the first floor. There isn’t a lot of furniture, but there’s a huge balcony. I stood on it and looked down at everyone in the courtyard.

suggested Answers

1 I prefer the city/an urban environment because it’s more exciting. There are more activities than in the country. 2 I’ve heard of Hamlet by William Shakespeare, but I’ve never seen it. I’ve been to the theatre lots of times to see plays by other people. 3 My favourite food is Indian food. I don’t eat it often. When we go out for dinner, I like to eat in Indian restaurants. 4 I had cereal and toast for breakfast. I also had coffee and orange juice. 5 I love the sea. I look forward to playing on the beach.

Julia: I used to watch a lot of television when I was little. I liked watching cartoons, of course, but also comedy shows – even when I didn’t understand why everyone was laughing! My favourite TV programmes were the ones about nature. Most people find it exciting to watch the big animals, like the lions and tigers, but I used to like finding out about beetles and spiders. Everybody ignores them because they’re small and ugly, but I think they’re fascinating! Once, I decided to keep a centipede in a jar in the greenhouse so that I could watch it. I didn’t realise that it wouldn’t be able to breathe. It died and I was really angry with myself. My parents bought a dog, called Rex, so I grew more interested in dogs. We kept Rex in the house, not in the greenhouse. He lived for a long time! Answers
