Hi my name is Bryan Shapiro and I live in

San Francisco, I´m 13 years old and I´m in 8th grade, that´s the last grade of middle school. I start high school next year.

Everybody takes English, Social Studies, math, science, geography, music and P.E. we all take Spanish and some people do another language. I´m learning Chinese, because there are a lot of Chinese- speakers in San Francisco. We have Chinese three times a week and it´s really difficult! But I like Spanish and my dad says it´s useful because American companies do a lot of business with Spanish-speaking countries in Latin America.

NOW ENJOY READING…

We usually have P.E. and we play team sports

like baseball, basketball, volleyball, or hockey. My

favorite is basketball, and I´m in the school team,

we play other schools once a month, but we have to

train 4 times a week, we sometimes have jazz

band lessons. I like jazz but I am not a very good

musician! I never play any instrument in public

since I am a shy boy.

School starts at 8 o´clock and finishes at three in

the afternoon. I often have about one hour and a

half of homework. I start as soon as I get back

so that I can watch television after dinner.
