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
