1 Carrie is allergic to A sunlight.
2 Adam is allergic to B water.
Not everyone loves the summer. Have you ever stopped
to think about the people who can’t enjoy the sun or the
swimming pool? Read on to find out who they are.
Carrie Mills, USA
Every time Carrie comes into contact with
water, she gets a painful rash. She’s been
allergic to water for over nine years, and the
allergy has changed her life. Carrie used to
love swimming, but she can’t go in the pool
or the sea now, and she can only have a very
quick shower in the morning. Luckily, it doesn’t rain much
in Los Angeles, where Carrie lives, but she always keeps
an umbrella in her car.
Adam Evans, Scotland
Adam has been allergic to the sun since
he was a baby. He gets terrible sunburn
when he goes out in daylight, and huge
blisters start to appear on his skin after a
few minutes. In the summer, Adam needs to
wear a special helmet and protective clothes
when he goes outside, and he wears very strong suncream
every day, even at home. However, life is easier for
Adam during the gloomy Scottish winter. He can go out
in normal clothes to play football with his friends after
school because it gets dark early.

An email
Hi Dani,
Thanks for your email. It was great to hear from
you. Sorry I haven’t written for ages, but I’ve been
in hospital. I broke my arm while I was cycling to
school on the last day of term. I was there for two
days, and now I’ve been at home for about a week.
So how are things with you? What have you been
up to in the holidays? I haven’t done much because
of my arm. I’ve spent a lot of time at home
watching DVDs. My sister has been with me most
of the time, so I haven’t been too bored.
How are all your family? My brother’s really happy
at the moment because he’s passed his driving
test. My parents have bought
him a car, so he doesn’t have to
borrow theirs now. Lucky for
some!
Anyway, that’s all for now.
Write soon with your news.
All the best
Jackie

2 Over to you! What do you think Melanie
should do?
A brilliant summer?
The next day, Melanie wakes up with a sore throat. The
pool was very cold yesterday. ‘I hope I haven’t got a cold,’
she thinks. She gets up, has a shower and gets dressed.
Her parents have already gone to work. She goes into the
kitchen to have breakfast, but there’s no milk in the fridge.
She sees a note on the table from her mum:
Melanie is pleased at the thought of a
nice breakfast. She puts the money in her
pocket, picks up her keys and leaves the
flat.
Melanie decides to sit outside the café.
When the waiter comes, she thinks she
recognizes him.
‘Do I know you?’ she asks.
‘I’m not sure,’ he says. ‘Do you go to Wood Green School?’
‘Yes, I’m in Year 11.’
‘And I’m in Year 12. I’m Steve.’
‘I’m Melanie.’
‘Nice to meet you, Melanie,’ says Steve. ‘What would you
like to order?’
‘I’ll have a coffee and some toast, please,’ Melanie says.
After a few minutes, Melanie decides to move so that
she can sit in the sun. She doesn’t realize that Steve is
standing behind her. As she gets up, she knocks into him
and the coffee spills all over his arm. Steve cries in pain
and drops the cup. A waitress has seen the accident and
runs over. ‘Quick, let’s put some cold water on your arm
before you get a blister,’ she says, giving Melanie an angry
look. Steve and the waitress disappear into the café.
Melanie is very embarrassed. ‘What should I do now?’
she thinks.

Sorry, no milk. Can
you buy some?
Money on the table.

corner is excellent.
