Lesson 2

 Read these e-mails students of St. Peter's School sent their friends. What clubs
are they writing about? Match the e-mails (A-C) with a photograph (1-5).
There are two extra pictures.
Hi Jane,
I've got some great news! This year, we're preparing the musical, ‘Annie'.
I'm one of the orphans. I'm sending you a photo from the rehearsals. We
aren't wearing our costumes because they aren't ready yet. I'm really busy
at the weekends but I'm having the time of my life! You'll love it!
Kisses,
Kate
Paul,
This year, we're training for the festival which takes place in Belgium in
May. Can you see me in the photo? Our coach, Mrs Jones, is showing
us the choreography. It's hard work but I love it! What about you? How
often do you have a football match this year?
Jim
Dear Petra,
Can we ask you for a favour? Our club is preparing a recipe book this
term. We need to collect ideas for healthy but delicious dishes. Your dad
knows so much about cooking. Can he help us?
Love,
Tom & Jennifer
PS. What is your school choir doing this month? Let us know!
