LOCAL GIRL IN HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL

NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN!
Hello everybody! It’s me, Gopal again. This
is my school cricket team. That’s me with the big smile in the
front row. I’m the captain. We’ve got a very good team this year
and are in the semi-final of the Calcutta Schools Cup.
So I hope we win and get to the final.
Hello again! Remember me
– Harry? I’m 10 years old and
live in Manchester. We’ve got
a famous football team –
Manchester United. My dad
loves football and is a big Man
U fan. But I hate football – it’s
so boring! I prefer to spend all
my time with my computer.

Dear Diary,
Today is my birthday. I’m eleven!
And later I’m going to have a big party.
I can’t wait! But my little brother Ben
can’t come. He’s a pain in the neck.
I wish I had a sister instead.
Or maybe another cat
like Rinaldo.

HELLO SOUTH AFRICA
This is Kylie’s and Jana’s ‘Internet chat’ last night.
kylie
jana
Hi my name is Jana.
I am ten years old. I live
with my parents and my brother,
André in Port Elizabeth. I chat
with an Australian girl called
Kylie. She’s fun. She asks
so many questions!

Hi again, Jana. What’s it like in Port Elizabeth?
It’s really nice because we can walk to the beach. And to school.
Do you like walking to school?
Yes, but not when it’s too hot or too cold.
How hot does it get? And how cold?
In summer it’s about 20–35 degrees.
That’s nice and hot!
Yes, but in winter it’s about 5–25 degrees.
25 degrees? That’s still hot!
Yes, but in other parts of South Africa it gets a lot hotter or colder.
What do you do in your spare time?
I like rollerblading, playing soccer and my J-board.
Yeah? Do you play any other sports?
Yes. Hockey and tennis.
Do you like swimming?
Of course! I like water-skiing too.
Aren’t you afraid of swimming in the sea?
Afraid? Why?
Because of the sharks!
No! Sharks here are always out at sea.
Lucky you! It’s not like that in Australia.
Must be dangerous.
Yes, it can be. What about food? What do you ike eating?
My favourite is Boereworst.
What’s that?
It’s a sausage. And I also like Ku-du. But before you ask, that’s…

THE LEOPARD AND THE LIGHTHOUSE
The leopard runs quickly along the road.
He cannot see over the walls. He cannot go back
and there is no way out. Suddenly he sees a
tall building. The door of the building is open.
He runs through the door. Then he stops.
Sindi is an island in East Africa. It has
beautiful beaches with white sand.
The sea is clear and blue. There are
lovely trees and flowers on Sindi. There
is also a small village with white houses.
An old lighthouse stands near the village
on the rocks by the sea. The lighthouse
is empty now. Sometimes children from
the village play in the lighthouse.
Sindi lies about five hundred meters
from the mainland of Africa. A lot of
animals live on the mainland – monkeys, elephants and leopards. One day
a leopard swims across the sea to Sindi.
The leopard is very hungry and he is
looking for food. He swims quickly.
He comes to the beach and gets out of
the water. Then he walks along the
road to the village.
The leopard runs through the streets
of the village. Behind him the people
are following. They are very angry.
They do not want a leopard in their
village. The leopard is very tired now.
But where can he run? He sees a small
road between two high walls. He runs
along this road. The people follow him.

Hi, Kate, jump in!
Hi, Mom. Guess what? I was elected Chairperson of the Student’s
Council today!
That’s great!
Yeah, and there are so many things I want to do. School will be
a lot better – thanks to me!
Well, you’ve got a lot of energy, I know! But you look tired today, Kate.
Why is that?
Phew… We have so much homework for tomorrow, Mom.
Lots of reading. I really need to practise reading.
But you’re a very good reader.
Maybe, but I need to practise more. And, a good way is
to read lots of magazines.
Magazines?

Yeah, you know – weekly magazines for teenagers. They’re really
cool! What do you think, Mom? Can you fix me a subscription?
A subscription?
Yes, so I get a magazine delivered home every week.
Delivered home?
Yes. Everyone in my class has one, Mom except me. So I’m the
only person who doesn’t know anything about famous people.
Guess what Kate? I think it’s great that you want to practise
reading. Why don’t I get you a really good book to read? Much
better than reading teenage magazines.
A book? I don’t want a book, Mom. I already have lots of
books in school and at home!
This book is called Letter from America.
Letters! Who writes letters? Sounds like a book from
the Stone Age!

Guess what? I was the host for our autumn
School Show. I think I was inspired by you.
Really, Harry! Maybe you should read the
High School Musical books.
What are they about?
This girl, Gabriella, comes to a new school.
She meets Troy and they fall in love. But Sharpay,
a really mean girl, tries to make them break up.
Is that it? Sounds soppy to me!
No, it isn’t, Harry! It’s really exciting! And at their
school they put on musicals and talent shows.
Musicals? Talent shows? Go on!
Gabriella, Troy and Sharpay are all in the shows.
Sharpay is chasing
Troy the whole time.
Must get out of breath!
Very funny! But Gabriella and Troy stay together.
So a happy ending then?
Yes. Then in book three they have to choose new
schools.
Choose new schools? Wow! How exciting!

Sorry! Go on.
Troy is going to study dance, music and sports.
Gabriella is going to a school for very talented kids.
So they stop seeing each other?
No. The schools are in the same area. So they can
still see each other.
That’s it? Sounds dull to me!
No! The books are so good. Our local theatre’s
putting on the musical and I’m in it.
Really?
Yes. I’m playing the lead – Gabriella!
The lead? Wow!
So are you going to read the books?
No. I don’t like love stories. I prefer fantasy books.
But you can’t make musicals out of fantasy books.
Hey! That’s an idea!
What do you mean?
Maybe that’s something for me and Bridget to do.

Kylie is in her bedroom sitting in front of her computer. Bibi knocks and enters.
bibi
What are you doing Kylie?
kylie I’m working on a school project about water!
I need to catch up … after all the singing.
bibi Yes, I guess you do. Well, good luck! See you later!
kylie Yes, see you later, Bibi!
Bibi leaves the room and Kylie carries on working.
kylie
OK, how do I do this!? Where can I find information about water?
And no chatting or scyping because then I’ll never finish my homework!
Oh, I sound just like Dad now!
(typing)’ Water supplies in the world’
That’s a good search phrase! (pause) Wow!
So many results! Right, let’s try this one…
Kylie clicks on a website and checks what comes up on the screen.
kylie
Oh, this is good. I think I can use it.

Water. We drink it. We cook with it. We wash with it. We can’t

Wehavetothinkverycarefullyaboutwater,andhowweuseit.
Many people in the world don’t have water in their homes. They
have to walk for hours to the nearest well or river – and this water
isn’t always clean. About 80% of all the world’s diseases come
from dirty water.
I didn’t know that! Oh, there’s more. ‘Water from Food’…

to London. In London we’ll travel by underground
to Heathrow Airport and from there we’ll fly to
New York. Then, In New York we’ll take one of their
famous yellow taxis to the hotel. How about that?
harry Much better than a magic carpet! Or maybe we could
hire one of those to fly around the Statue of Liberty…
mum (laughing) Yes, if you can fix it.
harry Hey, this is really exciting, Mum! I can’t wait to tell
Kylie. She’ll be so jealous…

Don’t you know what she looks like?
No, I don’t. Well … yes, I do, in a way.
What??
We’ve never met. I’m from India and she’s American.
We’ve been skyping each other. So I’ve seen her face
on my computer.
That’s weird! I’m waiting for someone I’ve never
met too – a guy from England called Harry.
Really?
Yes. We’ve been chatting and skyping on the
Internet for over a year now. I’m from Australia.
Nice to meet you, Kylie. My name is Gopal.
Kate and her mother are walking
towards Kylie and Gopal. Kate is
