## Step 2 - Reading

My favourite subject

You are going to read two texts about favourite subjects.

- Read the texts.
- While reading, think about the following question:
  - Do Sally and Maria like school? How can you tell?

Sally Reyes Guess what my favourite subject is in school? It's P.E.! I like it because it’s fun and competitive. P.E. is a time to have fun with friends, and it helps me to stay healthy. Another subject I like in school is computer lab. I feel relaxed just sitting down, ready to listen and ready to start my assignment or activity. I’m always ready to go in regular classes, too, by the way, but I'm always extra motivated for computer lab. I just like digital assignments better than learning from a book. School can be hard work, but some subjects can be fun, which makes it easier to deal with. So what are your favourites subjects? Maria Beas First of all, I don’t have one favourite subject, I like too many! One of them is maths. I love taking five-minute tests. It's not easy, but I like a challange. You have to finish 100 problems in five minutes. I also love getting back tests to see if I did OK! I also love science, because you learn something new every day. My favourite part is when they bring in animals and tell us what they do. I especially love art, because you get to express your feelings. When you’re happy you can paint a flower or a rainbow. If you’re upset or angry, you can paint a thundercloud with lightning. I guess you get the idea. Well, anyway, thank you for reading my story. Hey, reading! That’s another subject I like.
