Annabel and Sarah are guests on a reality TV show. Anabel lives in London. Sarah lives in a seaside vilage in the north of Scotland. They are swapping families and schools for a week.
DAY 2 – Everyone gets up at 5 a.m. because there’s a lot to do on the farm. Sarah’s mum is very nice. She brings me a cup of tea in bed, but I just go back to sleep. Later, I go outside to the farmyard to help Sarah’s family. Today we are milking the cows in the barn and feeding the chickens. The animals are lovely, but I can’t stand the smell.
DAY 4 – Sarah’s mum gives me a lift every morning. We drive five miles to meet the school bus, which leaves at 7 am. Sarah’s school is very small, but everyone is very friendly.
DAY 6 – Learning about farming is interesting, but I’m happy I’m going home tomorrow. The fresh air is nice, but it’s too quite here. I also feel isolated. In the city, the streets are crowded, but you have everything close at hand. I miss the hustle and bustle of London, but I don’t want to leave all my new friends.
DAY 2 – Everyone stays in bed late here. It’s 8 am and Annabel’s mum is making breakfast! In the afternoon, we’re going shopping in Oxford Street and then we’re going to the cinema! I’m so excited!
DAY 4 – I travel to Annabel’s school by tube. Her school is huge with 1,500 students and her friends are very interesting and helpful. I’m enjoying the lessons, but most of all I love the facilities. The computer room and the swimming pool are my favourites.
DAY 6 – Today, I’m feeling a bit tired. It’s always noisy here and you can hear the traffic all night. I think I’m getting a bit homesick, too. I miss the beautiful landscapes and my friends from my hometown. I’m happy I’m going home tomorrow but I’m sure I’ll visit London and see Annabel’s lovely family again!
