📊 Mia’s survey — Have you ever…?
RESULTS: 28 students answered. Have you ever… been abroad? yes 20 · no 8. ridden a horse? yes 9 · no 19. met a famous person? yes 4 · no 24. broken a bone? yes 7 · no 21. performed on a stage? yes 15 · no 13. stayed awake all night? yes 11 · no 17.
Rosa: I’ve been abroad lots of times, because my family lives in Madrid. But I’ve never ridden a horse. I tried once, when I was eight, but the horse didn’t agree.
Leo: I’ve met a famous person! Last year I saw a footballer at the airport in Lisbon. I asked for a photo, and he said yes. My hands were shaking so much that the photo is blurry.
Amy: I’ve broken my arm twice. The first time, I fell off my bike. The second time, I fell off my bed. Nobody believes the second story.
Tom: I’ve never performed on a stage, and I never want to. Just thinking about it is terrifying.
Zoe: Have I ever stayed awake all night? Yes, once. It was New Year’s Eve at my grandparents’ farm in Scotland, and we watched the sun come up. It was cold, but it was the best night ever.
