A NUMBER. J.K. Rowling is the author of the books
about Harry Potter played by Daniel
Radcliffe in the films.
At university JK studied French and the
classics. Her first husband was Portuguese
but unfortunately the marriage was not a
success. After, she was very sad and cried
a lot. She was unemployed and poor.
J.K. prepared the first Harry Potter book in
the Nicolson's Café in Edinburgh. Then JK
tried to find a publisher. She offered her
first book to twelve publishers in England
but they didn't like it. Fortunately, a little
girl called Alice enjoyed reading the first
chapter. She is the daughter of a
publisher and he agreed to publish the
book.

Six more books followed and the films of
course. Now JK isn't sad or worried about
money. In fact, her life is more magic than
Harry Potter's!
How many books were written later?

Each person has his hobby and as a matter of fact little free time to do something we like doing most of all. I also have many hobbies. As I am a pupil I haven`t got much free time during the school days. And I study in Russian school so I`ve got only one day off. It`s Sunday.

In my free time I usually hang out with my friends or surf the Net. If it is summer I don`t use the computer much and have a great time outside. But in autumn, winter and spring I have to use computer more because sometimes wecan`t do our homework without using the Internet. And I usually chat with my friends because I don`t see some of them for a long time.

On Saturdays or Sundays I usually help my mum with the housework, watch TV, meet my friends and often play the guitar because I`m mad about music.

But sometimes if the school days were busy and I had to study much harder I simply relax. I think we must do something interesting in our free time because we become borried and tired after doing homework and studying so hard.

The school I would like would have a swimming pool.

I'd have one for the first and second years and also for the third and fourth years. The playgrounds would be separate, one for the young children and the other for the senior forms. A wall would be separating them and there would be a door from one playground to the other.

The classrooms would have carpets instead of lino. The desks would be painted and the chairs would have cushions. The chairs would also be painted.

There would be a computer for every table in the classroom. There would be at least 12 videos for each classroom. The hall would be very big, about 40 metres long and 30 metres wide.

The lessons would be interesting. There would be lots of French and German and English.

There would be four floors at the school. There would be a lift to take us up. The staffroom would be much bigger than the one we have now.

It would be light and cosy. There would also be a big library. There would be a lot of instruments: flutes, guitars, drums, etc.

The school meals would have different food every day. There would be lots of visits to concerts and parks.

The tests would be easier for children.
