We asked students for the
secrets of their school bag.
Shane from Washington D.C. USA
I go to Jefferson Elementary
School. My school bag is a
backpack. It’s green, yellow and
purple. These are my favourite
colours. In my bag, there’s a
big file for my English lesson
and three blue folders. There’s
a small pocket for my pencils
and pens and another pocket
for my wallet. I’ve got all my
books, and my lunch box. In
my lunch box today, I’ve got
apples, sandwiches and two
bottles of water. There’s also a
special pocket for my mobile
phone. It’s got a lot of games
on it. Cool, huh?
