D. Read about Tomas who comes from Vienna, then answer the True/False
questions about him.
I'm Tomas and I live in Vienna with my parents and my sisters. I'm the youngest in
my family. I turned 13 last month. My sisters are Martina, 16, and Betta, 19.
Betta's very serious and she always tells me what to do, I guess because she's the
oldest. I go to a nice school not too far from our home and I really enjoy it. I have
a lot of friends there and I enjoy studying. My best subject is Geography,
probably because it's the easiest too! My most difficult subject is Math - I'm
terrible and I don't like my teacher. I love playing sports, especially
basketball. I'm the tallest player on the school team and I usually play
really well. It's the happiest part of my day. My coach says that one day
I could play professional basketball! On the weekend I spend a lot of time
with my friends Ralf and Kurt. We do everything together and they are the
most important people in my life, apart from my family of course!

Soy Tomás y vivo en Viena con mis padres y mis hermanas. Soy el mas joven
de
mi familia. Cumplí 13 años el mes pasado. Mis hermanas son Martina, de 16
años, y Betta, de 19.
Betta es muy seria y siempre me dice qué hacer, supongo porque es la mayor.
Voy a una buena escuela no muy lejos de nuestra casa y realmente lo disfruto.
Tengo muchos amigos allí y disfruto estudiar. Mi mejor asignatura es
Geografía,
¡probablemente porque es el más fácil también! Mi asignatura más difícil es
Matemáticas. Soy terrible y no me gusta mi profesor. Amo jugar deportes,
especialmente baloncesto. Soy el jugador más alto del equipo de la escuela y
suelo jugar muy bien. Es la parte más feliz de mi día. ¡Mi entrenador dice que
algún día podría jugar baloncesto profesional! El fin de semana paso mucho
tiempo con mis amigos Ralf y Kurt. ¡Hacemos todo juntos y ellos son las
personas más importantes en mi vida, aparte de mi familia, por supuesto!
