Hi! I’m Elisa. This summer, I’m at Circus Smirkus

Summer Camp in the USA. I’m here for two weeks
and I’m having an amazing time!
Every day, we get up at seven. That’s early for
me – I don’t usually get up until eight or nine in the
summer! But I don’t want to miss anything. Then we
all have a huge breakfast, so we feel very full!
At nine o’clock, we start classes. We don’t go to
any boring, normal classes at circus school, and we
don’t do any homework! Sometimes, we do aerobics
or gymnastics, but we aren’t doing sport today.
We’re having a ‘clown’ class! We’re learning to ride
unicycles – and we’re wearing red noses. We look
very funny! It’s difficult for us to ride a bike with one
wheel. We fall off all the time, but it’s great fun. I
think I like being a clown. I’m good at making people
laugh!
What about you? What are you doing this week?

this is my best friend, Frankie.’ ‘Hi, Frankie!’ says
Layla. Soon, they’re all talking happily. They’ve
got a lot in common. Layla and Frankie both love
science fiction, and Prash and Layla both want to
study maths at university. Lunch feels very short!
While they’re walking back to class, Layla
notices a poster for a school talent show. ‘Prash
should sing,’ says Frankie. ‘He’s amazing! But he’s
shy.’ ‘Really? I love singing!’ says Layla. ‘Let’s do it
together, Prash!’
Every evening after dinner, Layla goes to Prash’s
house to sing. Luckily, his parents like music!
Sometimes, Frankie comes along afterwards and
they all do homework and chat. Layla is very happy
– she really likes Prash and Frankie.
It’s the evening of the talent show. Tom goes first.
He plays the guitar quite well and the judges give
him six points out of ten.
Layla and Prash are next. They sing With a Little

love them! They get nine points.
