A. Read and say.

Tamal: Hi, my friend! Nasreen and I are reporters for the English Club Magazine. Would you mind answering some questions?

Sima: Sure. No problem. It's my pleasure.

Tamal: Could you tell me your name and which class you are in?

Sima: I'm Sima. I'm in Class 5.

Tamal: How do you spend your leisure time, Sima?

Sima: Well, I like to walk in the park. I also like to sing. My cousin lives in the UK. Sometimes, I talk to her and her friends on the internet.

Nasreen: So, talking on the internet keeps you connected.

Sima: That's right.

Tamal: (to Biju) Hello! Can I ask you the same questions?

Biju: My name's Biju and I'm in Class 5, too. I love swimming. It keeps me fit. I also like painting. I'm not very good, but painting makes me happy.

Tamal: What about reading? Do either of you like reading?

Biju: I do. I often read magazines in my free time. I like magazines about sports, especially football and cricket.

Sima: Oh, I like to read, too. I love reading funny stories, especially stories of Nasiruddin Hojja.
