Keira lives in the small town of Arandis in Africa. Her typical school day starts as early as 4.30 a.m., the time she gets up. Waking up early gives her time to do her usual household duties, like sweeping the floor and fetching four buckets of water from a well about 400 metres away from her house.
She finishes around 6.30 a.m., warms water, and washes, then has a cocoa drink as breakfast. She puts on her school uniform and leaves for school. Keira and all 5-form girls wear short-sleeve blouses with khaki skirts to match.
It takes her 15—20 minutes to walk to school. She usually gets to school around 8.00 a.m. Keira studies four main subjects — English, Mathematics, Integrated Science and Social Studies — and four electives, or subjects by choice — Economics, Geography, French and Music. After school on Mondays Keira stays for an extra hour of English Language class. By the time she gets home, it’s about 4.00 p.m. She has a quick dinner and goes straight to her family shop to help her mum.
About 7.30 she goes home to do school homework and to watch television for a while before going to bed at 10.00 p.m. She usually ends her day no later than 10 p.m. to have enough rest and to wake up early the next day.

The Popular Way to Learn English in Japan
The speeches of the United States’ President Barack Obama are popular with those learning         [English, French, Spanish]in Japan. A book of his speeches are on sale lately, quickly becoming a             [rational, national, traditional] bestseller.
It’s described by its publishers as a huge       [hit, crash, fail]in Japan, and                 [elderly people, students, shop-assistants]at an English class in Tokyo are even memorising the President's words to improve their own               [maths, pronunciation, soft skills] and understanding.
The clear language of the speeches makes them an obvious choice for          [teaching, counting, breaking] material. But the new President’s words are said to hold particular appeal.
First of all it’s from his personality, and also, his technique, as his rhythms in English sound beautiful to the          [English, Chinese, Japanese]people who may not understand          [American, British, English] well but still find his English as something they want to learn from.
And so, in shops across Japan the face of the new          [American, British, Japanese]President is on the bookshelves and on the newsstands. And for students, the           [question, answer, statement]"Will it help in improving their English?" can be answered — «Yes, it will».
