A school for stars

I’m good at singing and I loved performing at school concerts and shows, so I decided to do Performing Arts at college. I wasn’t sure where to apply but the careers teacher at school helped me make a list of the best places. I didn’t get in to my first choice, and I was really disappointed but then Southgate College offered me a place on their Theatre Studies course. It wasn’t really what I wanted to do, but actually it’s fine. I’d like to do more dancing but I’m learning new skills so it’s all good.

2 The writer is studying:

• music

• dance

• drama

Marley and Me is a story about a dog, but it’s a lot more than that. It’s also a story about love, friendship and family life, and how relationships change and grow. At the beginning, Marley is a loveable puppy, but he’s also a bit of a nuisance. When he jumps out of a moving car window, it’s the start of just one of his adventures. The result is a very entertaining and enjoyable book with a particularly pleasing ending. It’s perfect holiday reading, so why not pack a copy in your suitcase, and pass it round the family?
