I’m Christy Bell, and I’m in Year 11 at a
school in Manchester. This is my big
GCSE exam year, so I don’t have
(not have) as much free time as I
did before. When I am not doing
(not do) my homework or studying
for tests, I try to see my friends.
Saturday night is really the only
time when everyone’s free, because
most of my friends are working
(work) on Saturdays. I have a job in
a home and garden centre, but now
it gets (get) harder to find
enough time to do that and all of
my school work too. I need
(need) the money, though, because
I don’t get any pocket money from
my mum. I do (do) some
babysitting, which is good because
I usually get (get) my
school work done at the same time,
and I get paid for it!
Most of the boys in my class seem
to spend a lot of their free time on
computers. More and more of them
are getting (get) computer games,
or doing online gaming, but I don’t
like them much. And these days
people use (use) instant
messaging to talk to friends, but I
prefer (prefer) texting my
friends on my mobile – I hate sitting
in front of a computer for hours. I do
enough of that with my homework!!
