Read the text and answer the questions:

 
 
Hello, my name is Jeff. I am 10 years old. I live in Nairobi, Kenya. I have 2 sisters and 1 brother. My mother's name is Anna and
 
my father's name is Anthony. I go to Davidson elementary school with my sisters and my brother goes to Kenyata school.
 
He is big, he is 14 years old and my sisters are 7. They are twins.
 
I like to play football and Play Station games with my brother. My sisters like to play tennis and badminton. They also like
 
to play on the Wii sport. We go to school on Mondays to Fridays and stay home on week-ends. I have many 
 
lessons at school - mathematics, English, French, history, geography, sports, music, computers and art.
 
 
In mathematics we have many questions and exercises. In English and French we read and write sentences. In history and geography
 
we draw maps and fill in information about  villages. The teacher says the names of villages and we
 
circle the villages on the map. On the bottom of the map we write our names and on the top of the map we write the name of the
 
map. In sports we play football, rugby or tennis. In music lessons we listen to music and sing songs. In
 
computer class we use Word and Internet. In art we draw. The art teacher draws a star when the drawing is good. We show the
 
homework to the teacher to check. My favorite subject is geography.
 
 
Please write about your school also!
