1Lis le récit de la journée d'Emma, puis réponds aux questions en anglais.

« A day in the life » — Emma, 15, Bristol, for the school newspaper.

I usually get up at half past six, but this morning I overslept: my alarm didn't ring because I had forgotten to charge my phone. I ran to the bus stop while I was eating a piece of toast, and I caught the bus just in time.

At school, we are preparing a science exhibition this month, so every afternoon is different. Today, my group was testing a solar oven in the playground when it suddenly started to rain — of course, this is England! We have already built two ovens, but we haven't finished the poster yet.

After school, I went to my grandmother's house. She has lived in the same flat for forty years and she knows everybody in the building. She was making scones when I arrived, and she told me she had made them for the neighbours' baby shower.

Tonight, I'm going to revise for my maths test, and I'm meeting Jade at the library at seven. Tomorrow, the weather forecast says it will be sunny. I hope so: we're going to test the oven again, and this time it's going to work!
