Martha: Hi, Ewan, how are things with you?

Ewan: Not too good, I’m afraid. I’m going through a difficult time at the moment.

Martha: I’m sorry to hear that. Anything you want to talk about?

Ewan: Well, first of all I find it difficult to study because I don’t sleep very well.

Martha: Are you tensing about something?

Ewan: Yes, I certainly am because my dad always shouts at me about keeping my room untidy and listening to music that’s too loud.

Martha: Perhaps he’s tense too, maybe he doesn’t like his job anymore?

Ewan: That’s a good point. He has a new boss and I know they don’t get on well just now.

Es. 4
Do you believe in heroes? In this period I am playing this fantastic new game on my tablet with my friends, all about an ancient Greek hero called Erebus. We don’t normally play during the week as we always have a lot of homework. But our teacher never gives us a lot of work over the weekend so we have time to dedicate to project work.
At the moment we are working on an interesting project about modern heroes so our game is part of our research! The project asks whether heroes still exist. Our teacher definitely thinks there are modern heroes – in fact he probably thinks he is one of them.
