New studentsEnglish Speakers Online – the site for English-

speaking friends from around the world.

Here are four of our new students this week:

Jake Porter Hello, my name’s Jake and I’m from Dublin. It’s

the capital city of Ireland. My favourite places in

Dublin are Dublin Castle and the Blanchardstown Shopping Centre – it’s a fantastic place with

shops, restaurants, discos and a big cinema. I’m

thirteen years old and I am at Greendale School in Kilbarrack. It’s a good school, but it’s half an

hour from my house! Music is my passion and

I’m really good at it. I’m in the school band. My favourite things are my guitar and my MP3

player.

Martin Jones Hi, I’m Martin. I’m twelve years old and I’m from

Aberystwyth, in Wales. It’s a small town, but it’s

really nice and it’s on the coast. My language at home is English, but at school we have lessons in

English and Welsh. My school is great because it’s

only 1 km from the beach! Aberystwyth Beach is popular with surfers in the summer, and surfing is

my passion. I’m only thirteen years old, but I’m

really good at surfing! My favourite things are my surfboard and my cat. She’s called Bach – it’s the

Welsh word for ‘small’, but now she’s very big!

Kirsty McGreggor Hi, I’m Kirsty McGreggor, from Dunvegan, in Skye. Skye is an island in Scotland and

Dunvegan is a small village, but it’s a very

historical place – Dunvegan Castle is 800 years old. The population of Skye is only 9,000 people,

but there are lots of tourists on the island in the

summer. I’m twelve years old and I’m at Portree High School – Portree is the main town on Skye.

The school has got 660 students this year.

They’re from Portree and all the villages on Skye. My favourite school subject is Art. I’m

really good at painting and Skye is a beautiful

island, so it’s a good hobby!

Fran Spencer My name is Fran. I’m fourteen and I’m from Liverpool, in the north-west of England. It’s a big

city, and the population is about 800,000 people.

It’s popular with tourists because of The Beatles and it’s got two cathedrals and a lot of other

historical buildings. Liverpool is famous for its

great bands and also for Liverpool football team. My favourite Liverpool player is Steven Gerrard –

he’s brilliant! I’m at the Liverpool Blue Coat

School and I’m really good at singing. I’m in the school concert this year – in fact, it’s on Friday!’

BEHIND THE CAMERA

This week on Behind the Camera: 11-year-old Ben Walker, from the new

TV series My House.

Hi, I’m Ben Walker. My family is a typical

British family and we’ve got a typical house,

but we’re also the stars of My House, the

CNBE TV series. But what’s our house like

and who are we?

Our house

Our house is in Leeds – it’s a big city in the

North of England. The house is about half an

hour from the centre of town. It’s got four

bedrooms and a big bathroom upstairs and a

living room, dining room and kitchen

downstairs. My sister’s bedroom is very

small, but I’m lucky – I’ve got a big

bedroom. There are two big windows and

I’ve got a nice view of the garden. We’ve

also got a big garage, but the car isn’t in the

garage. It’s full of things like bicycles,

skateboards, and my dad’s windsurfer. My

favourite place at home is the garden. It’s

very big and it’s great for football with my friends.

CNBE has got TV cameras in all the

bedrooms, the kitchen, dining room and

living room. They haven’t got any cameras

in the bathroom, but there are three

cameras in the garden!

My family

My sister Eve is ten years old and she’s

interested in animals. She’s got two cats, a

rabbit and a pet tarantula! The tarantula is

very big and it’s called Bobby. It’s in her bedroom and it’s horrible!

My dad Steve is very intelligent. He’s a

mathematics professor at Leeds University.

His passion is art, but he isn’t good at it.

We’ve got lots of terrible paintings on our

walls!

My mum Carol is the funny person in our

family. She’s really good at singing and she’s

crazy about flowers. We’ve got flower curtains and flower carpets upstairs!

My grandma, Betty, is 68 years old and she’s

great! She’s really interested in cooking and her food is fantastic.

And then there’s me. My passion is

Manchester United Football Club. I’ve got a

lot of Manchester United posters on my

walls. I’m the only normal person in my

family!

2 often sees animals?

3 is in a very good team?

4 plays different sports in the summer and the winter?

5 plays matches on Saturdays?

6 does exams in his / her sport?

Mad about sport!

Andy Carter

I’m thirteen years old, but I’m very good at cricket. Some people

think cricket is a boring sport, but I think it’s fantastic. There isn’t a cricket club in my village, so I cycle 6 kilometres into Colchester on

Sundays. The countryside near our village is beautiful and I often see

animals when I cycle into town. When I finish my cricket lesson, I usually stay in Colchester and visit my aunt. She lives near the

Colchester Cricket Club. Cricket is a summer sport and the team

doesn’t play in the winter, but I often play football or go swimming.

Martha Tims

I’m from Nottingham and I love sport. I play lots of team sports at school, but my favourite sport is hockey. I’m really good at it

and I’m in the Nottingham Colts hockey team. It’s great fun, but

it isn’t easy. After school, my dad drives me to hockey practice. We meet four evenings a week and train for two hours and I’m

very tired when I come home! On Saturdays, we often play

matches with other teams from the area. This year, we’re the Nottingham champions! One day, I want to play hockey for the

British team and maybe in the Olympic Games.

Brett Wells

I play football and cricket, but my big passion is karate. I go to the karate

club twice a week at the sports centre, and once a month we have

competitions with other karate clubs. It’s great fun. Our karate teacher is called Yun Wei Lee. He’s from China and he’s a really nice man. He’s got

white hair and he’s my grandad’s age, but he’s amazing at karate!

Sometimes we have karate exams. When you pass an exam, you wear

a different colour belt on your karate clothes. I’m an orange belt at the

moment – it’s the third level and it means I’m quite good. There are seven belts and seven levels and the top belt is a black belt! One day I want

to wear a black belt and be in a karate film, like Jet Li or Jackie Chan.
