the passive

voice jaden

is being interviewed by jessica for the

new post

on the school website

oh hi nice to meet you

pleased to meet you here how are you

doing today

i’m great what about you

i’m good too okay jaden

let’s start our talk today can you

introduce

a little bit about yourself yeah of

course

my name is jaden thomas i’m a student at

brookhill high school

i was born in 2004 in birmingham

in birmingham so why did you move to

this city

just because my house was built near our

school

and it is also said to be one of the

best schools in england

so yeah i moved here when i was six

years old

what made you decide to choose this

school

firstly i think i’m taken care of by all

the college staff when i study here

that’s great who is your best teacher in

this school

hmm it’s hard to choose the best but i

would say

it is mrs johnstone

is she a chemistry teacher

yeah i have been learning a lot from her

and she is friendly as well

last winter i was invited to her

christmas party with her family

wow has she been told that you got the

first prize

not yet i phoned her but she didn’t

answer

i’m going to meet her tomorrow at school

probably she will be so proud of you

i hope so i think she expected a lot and

i didn’t want to disappoint her as well

okay so let’s talk about your study

how did you prepare for this competition

i’m lucky that i was given many useful

books from teachers and students who

already joined

the test so you were revising

a lot for the preparation weren’t you

yes and i was tested every week by my

teachers

so i knew what i needed to improve

you are hard working though

do you have any special suggestions to

prepare for the exam

i think when i had to memorize something

i usually wrote

songs about that wow

can you sing or play musical instruments

i can play piano a little bit

the songs are kind of silly but it made

me feel less stressed when i studied

[Music]

you must perform one day at school

i will try to practice more one day

thank you

so how did your parents feel when you

won

you might think that they would be very

excited

yes of course you did so well

yeah but they only told me that i was

just luckier than other students

oh really that sounds strange

yeah they said that because my parents

didn’t want me to be overconfident

did your family do anything to celebrate

your win

yeah we are planning but i guess we will

do it on the weekend

what will you do for the celebration

perhaps we will have a lovely dinner at

a restaurant

wow so what about you

how did you feel

i’m really surprised i just wanted to

get the prize because it can be used

when i apply to university

what are you going to study at

university

i’m considering between material science

and chemistry

do you have any dream universities

everyone wants to go to cambridge so do

i

but it is really difficult but you

are also excellent our school is so

lucky to have you

no i am so normal i still need to try my

best

to get my dream university

well good luck to you i hope i can have

a talk again with you when you are

accepted by cambridge university

i wish that too thank you so much

winship and lewis just went back home

after work and saw all the doors and

windows of their house

opened what’s that

what’s going on did you forget to lock

the door

no you locked it i even checked it twice

[Music]

the windows on the second floor are

opened as well

did you see if anything disappeared

not really let me check again

it’s so strange the flowers on the

balcony were watered

are you sure no way the robber watered

you can come here to check they’re all

wet and some chairs were moved

did you check your working space has

your computer been stolen

no i don’t think there was a robber

so someone came inside and just

opened the doors and went out

that’s ridiculous what about the kitchen

[Music]

it’s so strange all the dishes are

cleaned

the chicken was baked and actually

smells really good

did we hire any housekeepers today

and then you forgot i never call them on

weekdays

and they told me they can’t come this

month as well

maybe they changed the plan but you

forgot

let me check the phone i haven’t been

told anything

i’m a bit scared now what exactly

happened here

me too let’s go around and check the

house one more time

okay

have you found anything i saw a suitcase

here

whose is it where did you see that

in the garage it looks quite familiar

is that the one our daughter received on

her birthday last year

is it i don’t remember

i think so

what why are you here at the moment

aren’t you supposed to be at university

no mom i was told by my tutor that i can

go home early for this winter break

why did you do something wrong

nope i just finished all the credits

earlier

why are you guys so surprised

we thought that there was a robber at

the house

oh dear it’s just me
