2. There was a group of five friends.
Their names were Ana, Andreia, Carina, Mariana and Raquel!
3. They attended José Régio School, in Portalegre, a small city in
the south of Portugal. They attended the 8th grade and they
were 13 and 14 years old.
4. Ana was a very shy girl.
Mariana was very impulsive.
Andreia was the most sociable.
Raquel was very very persistent.
Carina was the most playful one.
7. They were planning on going on a five day
trip at the end of the school year…
and …
well…
… SOME OF THEIR COLLEAGUES
WOULDN’T GO, because their
parents couldn’t afford it.
9. I don’t know but we
What can we do? just HAVE to do
something.
Yes, everyone
wants to go.
It’s not fair if some
can’t go!
Let’s think about it, and
tomorrow after our
lessons we’ll discuss it
and find a solution.
10. On the next day, they were very excited. They all had an
idea to share. So… after their lessons, they met…
11. Well, I thought about it and I
think we have to do
something to earn enough
money to…
… to pay the tickets of those
who can’t afford it. I had
the same though!
That is a great idea,
superb!
12. We could use the school
resources…
What about the school’s
enclosure, we could use it…
Yes, yes… we
could grow…
14. bla, bla, bla, bla, bla, bla,
bla bla, bla bla bla, bla bla, bla
bla bla bla bla bla
bla, bla
bla, bla
bla, bla, bla
bla, bla
bla, bla, bla
They had a long discussion, it took all afternoon!
But at the end they had everything planned.
15. On the next day all class was very excited.
All their colleagues
loved the idea and were
longing for starting
their project, so with
their Science teacher’s
help they started their
vegetable garden.
16. They decided to plant all sort of vegetable: carrots, onions,
lettuce, cabbages, mint, parsley, coriander… and the best
of all strawberries
