John studies in _Y_e_a_r_8_ at Woodland School near London. It’s a _m_i_x_e_d_ school. His favorite subject is _H_o_m_e__E_co_n_o_m_i_cs_. He likes learning how toc_o_o_k_a_n_d__s_e_w. Before he came to the school he didn't know how to do things for himself, but now he knows how to cook __h_e_a_l_th_y__a_n_d_t_a_st_y_m__e_a_ls_____. Every year his school has a__R_e_a_d_i_n_g_W__e_e_k. He can __re_a_d__a_n_y_b_o_o_k_ from the school library and even _b_r_in_g__in_b__o_o_ks__a_n_d_m__a_g_a_z_in_e_s_ from home but they have to tell their English teacher _w_h_a_t_t_h_e_y_a_r_e_r_e_a_d_in_g_. Near the end of the class they can talk to _th_e_i_r_c_la_s_s_m_a_t_e_s__ about their books. The Reading Week is always too short because they want to _r_e_a_d_a_l_l _th_e_ir__cl_a_s_s_m_a_t_e_s_’ b_o_o_k_s_____ as well.
