3. MICHAEL JOHNSON Michael Johnson is 14 years old. He lives with his parents and sister in Lincoln, Nebraska. He goes to a public school 10 minutes from his house by car. His sister goes to a different school three blocks from his. Michael is in the ninth grade and he studies Math, Science, History, English, Speech and Music. He plays the trumpet in music class, but he isn’t a member of the school band because he doesn’t have time to practice with the band after school. School starts at 9 o’clock. Michael gets to school a little early because his father takes him every day and leaves him there at 8:40. Michael spends the 20 minutes before his first class talking with some of his friends. Lunch is at 12:00 and Michael usually eats a sandwich and a bowl of soup and drinks a Coke. His mother doesn’t like this, so Michael tells his mother that he drinks milk for lunch. His classes in the afternoon end at 3:30. Michael is a member of the football, basketball and baseball teams at school. He is a good athlete. He’s fast and strong. He plays football in the fall, between September and December. He plays basketball in the winter, between January and April, and he plays baseball in the spring. He is a very popular boy because he is good at sports. He’s intelligent but he doesn’t work very hard in class and he doesn’t spend much time on his homework.
