Robinson Crusoe was travelling on a ship across the seas when a big storm caused his ship to sink to the bottom of the ocean. Holding onto a piece from a ship, Robinson Crusoe swam to the small island several miles away. Robinson Crusoe thought that he was alone on an island, but after some years he met the man. He gave the man a name: ‘Friday’. Robinson Crusoe and Friday were only people on the island. Together they built an shelter, and hunted for food, and every day they made a fire so that any passing ships would find them. One day, many months later, another ship was passing by an island. People on the ship saw a fire that Robinson Crusoe and Friday had made, and they rescued both of the men.

I live in a big town in England. In my town there is a town hall, a church, and a big museum. The town hall and the church are both 100 metres high and they are taller as the museum, which is only 90 metres high at its highest point. There are lots of things to do in my town. The interestingest thing is to visit the museum where there is a very old clock, which still tells the time. This clock is the most old in England. However it is not as old than a very old clock which is in Prague, the Czech Republic. Another thing to do is to visit the shopping mall, which is very modern. And finally what I think is the least beautiful place in my town is the central park, where there are several lakes and many birds. I think that my town is the most good place to visit!

I would like to be a top football player. If I am a top football player, I would be very famous and have a lot of money, and everyone would love me. I will be on television all the time and play at lots of different stadiums and in different countries — this would be fantastic! I love sport and I love to play football, so I am thinking about trying to join the national team when I am older. It is difficult because so many people want to be top football players, but if I find the chance, I would take it. But because top football players are famous they cannot do normal things like normal people. If a top football player will walk down the street, everyone runs to him and asked him for his signature. So maybe I do not really want to become a top football player. But it is nice to dream about what it is going to be like!
