1.Read the email and complete the sentences with one word. 
 Hi, Aunt Sally!
 How are you? I’m having a great time! I can’t believe today’s my third day at camp. Sorry I didn’t write sooner. There’s internet that we can use, but only from 12–1 p.m. Then we have lunch. Mum writes every morning, but I don’t always answer. There aren’t many computers and we need to share them.
We usually wake up early, around 8 o’clock, but today the first activity started at 10 o’clock so I stayed in bed a bit longer. We went to the lake to go fishing this morning. I loved walking there, and the fishing was OK. I wasn’t lucky, but a friend of mine, Zak, went back to the camp with three fish! Here’s a photo of him.
We can do lots of sports, too, like tennis and volleyball, but I think art activities are more fun. They’re in the evening when it’s cooler and we usually paint or draw. Sometimes it’s more creative, like ‘learn how to make a monster with socks’. That’s on Friday. I can’t wait!
 How’s Uncle Tim? I think about him a lot because I play chess every evening. I can play with him when I’m back! Zak is a very good player and he says that I’m not bad. Oh! Zak’s from France and we sometimes talk in French. I want to visit him next year in France. It’s time for lunch, Aunt Sally! See you soon.

Fred Raymond talks to Melissa Jones at Wales Street Dance (WSD), a dancing school in Pembroke, Wales. Melissa is a teacher there, so let’s see what she says about dancing and teaching.

FRED Thank you for talking to We Dance magazine, Melissa. Tell us about what you do at WSD.

MELISSA Thank you, Fred. I teach children aged 12 or younger to dance to different types of music, such as street dancing, hip-hop, pop and jazz. I’m the headteacher at the school, but there are three more teachers who help me. I really love doing my job.
FRED What do you enjoy about it most?
MELISSA With this job, I can dance every day and learn about new artists and types of music. When I was younger, I danced in my free time, but now I can do it at work, too. But what I really love is working with children. They’re fun and very creative.
FRED You teach very young children, aged two years old. Do you like that?
MELISSA I’m very interested in these groups. Dancing can help children when they’re growing. We’ve got ‘stretch classes’ and ‘baby moves’ and parents are very happy with them. Their children are stronger and healthier because of what we do here at WSD.
FRED Great! And what do you enjoy doing in your free time, Melissa?
MELISSA My brother plays the drums in a band and I like going to his concerts at the weekends. But I’m usually busy, so I don’t go very often. When I’m on holiday, I like travelling around Wales. It’s a beautiful place
