In the staff room


In the staff room, some teachers are talking about Barbara.


Mr Old: You know the girl   is taking photos all over the school?


Mrs Boyle: That's Barbara Klein - the girl   family came here from Germany two and a half years ago. Remember?


Mr Old: Barbara Climb? She isn't anybody   I have ever taught.


Mr Dodson: She's the one   German is so good. Not surprising, really.


Miss Drakeford: She says she's helping a cousin   lives in Cologne.


Mr Old: But all these photos she is taking. How are they going to help her cousin?


Miss Drakeford: They're for a report about British schools  he has to give at his school in Germany.


Mr Old: Do you think that's right? The teacher  gets the report may think the boy did it himself.


Miss Drakeford: Oh, I'm sure he won't. and you know, some of the pictures she's taken are really good.


Now read the dialogue again and cross out the relative pronoun where possible.

Where Londoners live ...


Tourists usually see only a very small part of London. They visit the sights, or they go to the big stores, theatres and cinemas in the West End. But this is London, too.


In areas like Brixton in South London and the East End, a lot of houses and buildings are very old and shabby. Most people there are poor. The parents of many

 

young people once came from India, Pakistan or the West Indies.


Houses and flats in the nice parts of London are very expensive. They cost so much that even most people with good jobs cannot pay for them. So many people

 

live in the towns and villages outside London. Of course they must travel a long way to work. Two or three hours every day in a train is quite normal for some

 

of these commuters.



Annotations:
sights: Sehenswürdigkeiten;
West End: part of London;
shabby: schäbig;
commuters: Pendler
