Unit 1 Section 4  Cross-curricular connection

My social circle

There are four people that are really close to me: my parents, my sister Chloe and my best friend Laura. They are in my first circle. My sister Chloe and I are really different: I’m shy and she’s very sociable and has lots of friends, but we get on very well. Laura and I go to the same school, and we have lots of things in common.

In my second circle, I’ve put my grandma. She has been living with us since Grandpa died three years ago. I love my grandma. She takes good care of me and always tells me interesting stories of her childhood. I’ve also included the girls from the school volleyball team in this circle. They’re quite competitive when they play games, but they are really my loyal friends.

In my third social circle, I’ve got all my classmates from Class 7B. I’ve been with some of them since primary school and there’s a good atmosphere in the class; nobody is ever rude and everyone is friendly. I’ve also included Mrs Smith, my class teacher, in this circle, because she is very kind to me and always encourages me to do my best.

Finally, in my last circle, I’ve put all the other people that I know at school. There’s also my old deskmate, Andy Barton. He’s a bit shy, but I’ve included him because he was my first deskmate in this school and he’s still in my group of friends!
