Text 1: A1+ Level – "A Week in Anna’s Life"

Hello, my name is Anna. I am ten years old, and I live with my family in a small town. I want to tell you about my week. My days are very busy, but I have fun too.

Every morning, I wake up at 7 o’clock. I get out of bed, brush my teeth, and wash my face. After that, I have breakfast with my family. My mom is usually making breakfast while my dad is reading the newspaper. I usually eat bread and drink milk. My little brother is eating cereal and making a mess! I get dressed and put on my school uniform. Then, we all get ready to leave.

At 8 o’clock, I walk to school with my friends. We chat and laugh along the way. School starts at 8:30. We have lessons like math, English, and science. My favorite subject is art because I love drawing. At 10:30, we have a short break. We are playing games in the playground, and everyone is having fun.

At lunchtime, we sit together and eat our food. I always have a sandwich, some fruit, and juice. My mom packs my lunch every day. After lunch, we continue with our classes until 3 o’clock. When school ends, I walk back home. Sometimes, I stop at the park with my friends, and we play there for a while.

When I get home, I do my homework. Right now, I am studying math. My brother is watching cartoons, and my mom is cooking dinner. My dad is working in his office at home. After finishing my homework, I have some free time. I usually play with my toys, read a book, or watch TV.

Dinner is at 6 o’clock. We eat together as a family. My mom always makes something delicious. After dinner, we sometimes watch a movie together. I love watching animated movies. They are so funny! My dad is always joking and making us laugh during the movie.

At 8 o’clock, it’s time to get ready for bed. I take a shower, brush my teeth, and put on my pajamas. My mom is reading me a bedtime story now. It is about a princess who lives in a castle. I like listening to stories before I sleep. I close my eyes and dream about adventures. Tomorrow is another exciting day!

Text 2: A1+ Level – "Liam and His Dog Max"

Hi! My name is Liam, and I want to tell you about my pet dog, Max. Max is a small brown dog with big, floppy ears. He is three years old and loves to play. Every morning, I wake up and see Max lying on his bed. He is a sleepy dog, but when he sees me, he gets excited. He jumps up and wags his tail. My mom is in the kitchen, making breakfast. Max is already waiting there because he knows it’s time for his food.

Max loves food, especially his breakfast. I feed him every day before I go to school. He eats his food very fast, like he’s always hungry! After breakfast, I get ready for school. Max follows me around the house, staying close to me. When I leave, Max sits by the door, looking a little sad. I wave goodbye and tell him I’ll be back soon.

During the day, Max stays at home. My mom says he is a very good dog. He doesn’t make a mess, and he spends most of the day sleeping or playing with his toys. Max has a favorite toy, a small red ball. He likes to chew on it and sometimes brings it to my mom, hoping she will throw it for him.

When I come home from school, Max is always there to greet me. He is very happy when I walk through the door. He jumps up and down, barking excitedly. After I put my school bag away, I take Max to the park. Max loves the park. He runs around, chasing birds and playing fetch. I throw the ball, and he runs as fast as he can to catch it. Max is very fast and always brings the ball back to me.

At the park, we sometimes meet other dogs. Max is very friendly and loves to play with them. He chases them around, and they have a lot of fun together. After we play, we go home. Max is usually tired, so he lies down on his bed and rests. I do my homework while Max sleeps.

In the evening, we have dinner. Max sits near the table, hoping for some food. My mom sometimes gives him a little treat, but she says too much food is not good for him. After dinner, Max and I watch TV together. He sits on my lap and relaxes. Max is very soft and warm, and I like having him close.

At night, it’s time for bed. Max goes to his bed, and I go to mine. I say goodnight to him, and he curls up to sleep. He dreams about running and playing, and I dream about our next adventure together. Max is my best friend, and I love spending time with him.

Text 3: A1+ Level – "Emma’s Love for Her Garden"

Hi! My name is Emma, and I’m ten years old. I have a garden that I love very much. My garden is behind my house, and it is full of beautiful flowers. Every morning, I visit my garden to check on my plants. The sun is shining, and the birds are singing in the trees. I feel very happy in my garden.

In my garden, I have different kinds of flowers. There are red roses, yellow tulips, and white daisies. I water the flowers every day to help them grow. Right now, I am watering the tulips. My mom is in the garden too. She is planting new flowers, and my dad is mowing the lawn. Everyone is busy working in the garden.

There is a small bench in my garden where I like to sit after I finish watering the flowers. I watch the birds fly by and listen to their songs. Sometimes, a butterfly comes to visit the flowers. The butterfly is flying around the garden now. It lands on a rose and then on a daisy. I love watching the butterflies. They make the garden even more beautiful.

In the afternoon, I like to play in the garden. I run around and smell the flowers. My mom is picking some flowers to put in a vase for the kitchen. My dad is still working on the lawn. He wants the grass to be very smooth and green. I help my mom arrange the flowers in the vase. We place it on the kitchen table, and it looks so pretty.

In the evening, I go back to my garden. The sun is setting, and the sky is turning orange and pink. The flowers look very nice in the soft evening light. I water them one more time before going inside. My mom and dad are sitting on the bench, talking and relaxing in the garden. I sit with them for a while, enjoying the peaceful evening.

At night, when I go to bed, I think about my garden. I dream about the flowers, the butterflies, and the birds. I love my garden very much, and I can’t wait to see it again in the morning. Taking care of my garden makes me feel happy and peaceful.
