Decide if the statements are true (T), false (F) or not mentioned (NM). Hi! My name’s Kerry, and I want to tell you about my work. I’m a teacher, but I don’t work at a secondary school and I don’t teach young students. I teach older students. My students are 20 to 40 years old and they come to me to learn English. They want to use English when they work or for holidays. I love my job, but it isn’t easy! My students have jobs too, and I teach them after work. There are 15 students in my class. We start lessons at 6.00 in the evening and finish at 9.30. We have a break at about 7.30 and then we have a drink of tea or coffee. It’s very late when I get home, and I’m quite tired. In the class, I teach my students about grammar, and they learn a lot of new words in English. I ask questions and they answer. They speak in English in the class and they do some homework for the next lesson. Sometimes they do exercises and sometimes they read books. They like to watch English films and listen to English music at home. I like my students! We talk about TV, sports and work. My job is really interesting. They speak good English now too. If you want to learn English, come to my school! It’s very good! 1 Kerry teaches at a secondary school. T/F/NM 2 Her class has five students. T/F/NM 3 They want to learn English for an exam.
