Reading Passage 1

Hello there. My name is James, and I work in a school. I live in a small apartment in Texas with my wife Sophia and our two daughters, Florence (who is eight) and Prudence (who is six). I get up every morning at six o’clock and do my daily exercises before breakfast. I like to keep fit because my job at the school is very difficult and requires a lot of energy.

Reading Passage 2

I have breakfast at six thirty with my wife, and I always say “good morning” to my daughters before I go to work. I go to work in the Mini car. My wife is a teacher in a primary school, which is about fifteen miles away. Florence and Prudence both go to the same school as her, so they can all travel together – which is nice.

Reading Passage 3

Yesterday was my friend Williams’s thirty sixth birthday. He brought in a cake that he’d made. I had two pieces. We always have some fun but we work hard too. My wife Sophia is a wonderful cook, so I look forward to having my tea at six o’clock every evening. My life is quite a happy one really and I thank God for that.

Reading Passage 4

I work in a small school with five other teachers. I spend all day teaching in my classroom, helping kids and some official work. I don’t work directly with school officials. I am quite shy and don’t like meeting new people. However, My students are always my kids and I do treat them differently. Today I am going to prepare notes and records for the upcoming test.

Reading Passage 5

I hate traffic and the traffic in my city is terrible. I hate it because I have to drive so slowly. Driving to work is so boring but not driving back to home. I feel relaxed when I reach the school and see the kids. I forget everything about traffic and mingle with the kids. Sometimes, I go into the staff canteen to make a cup of tea. I see my friends there and we chat about the weather and school things. One of my friends is doing clerical work in the same school.
