Meet Mark. He’s a usual 15-year-old teenager. Last year he wanted to try a summer job. He is a very sociable and active guy, so he decided to work as a mystery shopper during his summer holidays. He really enjoyed it, that’s why he continued his career. Now he spends about 2-3 hours a day at work - his task is to make purchases at the different shops, ask questions about products or service - just like a regular customer. But nobody should guess that he’s a mystery shopper! His boss usually gives him some money to buy all necessary items, and it’s important not to spend more and to keep all the receipts he gets during his working day. He also has to write reports about his shopping experience every day - and that’s the most boring part of his job. But in general, he is really excited to be a mystery shopper. 

Read the sentences about Mark and his job. Which of them are true and which are false?

DAILY STORIES  by Margaryta Marcos

Today I’m writing this blog about my oldest sister, Sofia. She’s six years older than me. It’s her birthday today and she’s 21. She doesn’t live in the same house as my parents and me, but her flat is in the same street. We live at number 22 Spring Street, and she lives in one of six flats at number 28.

Sofia is the first person I go to when I have a problem, and she always tries to help. She also helps me with my English homework. We all speak Spanish at home, but Sophia speaks English really well too as a second language. She knows some English from school, but she also listens to English music and watches English films. Another thing she is great at is dancing. She is teaching me the tango this week. Tango is really difficult, but I love the music and the dance.

My sister’s interested in everything. She loves learning about science on the internet, and she often reads books about history in her free time. She also does three sports: football, swimming and running. She enjoys them all and is good at swimming. She likes camping, and she’s learning to play the piano at the moment, too. She’s a very active person! I really don’t know how she has time to do so many things!
