Read the text and answer the questions. Write full sentences. Life at boarding school Some children in Britain go to boarding schools, where they study and also live. What is life like at boarding school? Liam, who is fourteen, started boarding school when he was thirteen. ‘I didn’t want to leave home,’ he says, ‘but I’m very happy here now. I remember the first week clearly – it was horrible! I felt very upset and lonely. But everyone was very friendly, and now I’ve got a lot of friends.’ Liam shares a room with another student. ‘I’ve got my own bed and desk, where I keep my laptop, but we use the same wardrobe.’ So, what are the good things about boarding school? ‘The facilities are very good,’ says Liam. ‘I love doing science because there are good science laboratories. Also boarding school helps you to grow up. I make my bed every morning and tidy my room – I never did that at home.’ And the bad things? ‘There’s always a lot of noise!’ says Liam.
