Hello! My name’s Steve. I’m fifteen and I’m in Year 11 at Estover Community School. Our school rules are very strict – but i think that’s good. We need clear rules!

Hi! I’m a junior at the Pleasant Valley high School. Tenth and eleventh grade students are called juniors, twelfth are seniors. look at our school rules. Do you think they are strict?!

Suggestion: Grammar Exercise 2 gives additional practice in the use of “will” when promising.
In the UK on 31 December people make New Year’s Resolutions. They are promises to do things better in the new year. Write five promises you will make. Use the words in the cloud to help you.
e.g. I will make my bed and keep my room tidy.
