SPEAkING
What about you?
The football academy is Luke’s idea of a perfect
school. What is a perfect school for you?
Every summer, 15-year-old Luke Jones goes to
school. But he doesn’t study maths, English or
history at this school.The school is a special
football academy and Luke studies how to play
football. Football is Luke’s favourite free-time
activity. One day, he wants to be a professional
football player.
Luke’s parents take him to the academy. It’s inside
a special sports centre. But his mum and dad don’t
stay because the teachers don’t want parents to
watch the lessons.
Luke’s first lesson begins at 9 o’clock. It’s a training
session. Luke does exercises with the ball.
At 11 o’clock, the students stop and have water,
fruit and an energy bar. From 11.45 to 12.45, they
play football again. At 12.45, Luke and his friends
have lunch.
After lunch, from 1.45 am to 2.30 pm, they don’t
play football.They play other sports. But from 2.30
pm, to 3.30 pm, they have a football match.
Then it’s time to have a shower and go home.
Luke usually goes home by bus. In the evening Luke
watches football on TV or he sometimes plays one
of his computer games.
It’s always a computer game about football, of
course!
