Page 8 - Exercise 2

My name’s Carl. I live in London now. But I wasn’t born in England. I was born in Auckland in New Zealand. We moved to England two years ago. My dad got a new job here. I didn’t want to leave New Zealand. I had lots of friends there. The weather was great and our house was near the sea. And summer I went to the beach after school to a three times a week. I went sailing a lot too. I didn’t like it in England when we first arrived. I didn’t have all my friends here. They were on the other side of the world. We weren’t near the sea, and it was winter, so the weather wasn’t very nice. It was colder than Auckland. And when we arrived it rained a lot. I just wanted to go back to New Zealand. Things got better when I started school. There are kids from lots of different countries at my school here. So I wasn’t unusual. I soon made a lot of friends. I still miss New Zealand. But I like it here now. London is a great city. I can’t go to the beach after school. But I go to the Sport Centre with my friends. I don’t go sailing now. I play football. I didn’t play it New Zealand. We played rugby at my school. I prefer football and I’m quite good at it. I’m in the school team this year.
