Comedy Stars
Do you love telling jokes? We are looking for students for our new funny play. You don't need to be perfect at acting, but you must be happy to make mistakes and laugh at yourself. We practice every Tuesday after school. You will work with a great team and help write some of the funny parts. If you are always smiling and enjoy making your friends happy, this is for you! Come and meet us in the school hall.
Stage Helpers
Are you a very careful person? Not everyone wants to stand in front of a big crowd. We need clever students to help behind the stage. You must be good at finding things and keeping our clothes and lights safe. You will also paint the big pictures for the show. If you always do your homework on time and like planning events, you are the right person. We meet on Thursdays. You can be an important part of our club!

New Students in Our Class
Mateo
Hello, everyone! My name is Mateo. I recently moved here from a big city in Spain. I live in a house near the school with my parents and three older brothers. It is always very noisy at home! In my free time, I really love playing football. I play in the school team on Wednesdays. I also enjoy cooking. I often make dinner for my family on the weekend. Next week, I want to learn how to bake a chocolate cake for my brother's birthday.
Yuto
Hi! I am Yuto from Japan. I live in a small flat with my mother and father. I don't have any brothers or sisters, but I have a friendly dog called Max. My favourite hobby is drawing pictures of animals and nature. I always carry a notebook and pencil with me. I also love reading Japanese comic books. My dad buys them for me every month. I want to make my own comic book one day and show it to all of you.
Lukas
Good morning! I am Lukas. I come from a small village in the mountains. Now, I live in this town with my parents and my grandmother. I started a new hobby last year. I am learning to play the guitar. I practice in my bedroom every evening, but I am not very good at it yet. I also go swimming at the sports centre twice a week. My cousin goes with me because he is a great swimmer. I hope to make lots of new friends here!
Answer Key & Explanations
7 C - Reason: Text C says that Lukas lives with his "parents and my grandmother".
8 B - Reason: Text B says that Yuto wants to "make my own comic book one day". Text A is a trap because Mateo wants to make a cake, not a book.
9 A - Reason: Text A says that Mateo often makes "dinner for my family". Text B mentions Yuto's dad buying books, which is a trap about family doing things for them.
10 C - Reason: Text C says Lukas goes swimming and his "cousin goes with me". Text A is a trap because Mateo plays a sport (football) but with his school team, not his family.
11 B - Reason: Text B says Yuto has "a friendly dog called Max".
12 A - Reason: Text A says Mateo moved from a "big city". Text C is a trap because Lukas comes from a "small village".
13 C - Reason: Text C says Lukas is learning the guitar but is "not very good at it yet".
