Reading: Everyday lives Read the two texts and decide what is true for Sanyu (S) or Aya (A). There is one thing that is true for both. There are two things which are not true for either1 of them. My name’s Sanyu and I live with eight boys in an old bus in Uganda. I live there because my parents died in the war2 four years ago and I had to run away and hide here. Every morning, I go to the city to work there. Sometimes I can sell some soap. However, the police don’t like the boys selling things. If they catch us, they take us to the police station, beat us or send us to Nagullu, a boys’ home. I hate it there; we aren’t allowed to go out and the food is so bad. I’m Aya and I come from Syria. But now my family and I live in northern Lebanon because it’s safer here. We had to leave our house because of the war. The house we live in now is very bad. There isn’t a toilet with running water. The worst thing is that there aren’t many things I can do here. I think it’s sad that I can’t go to school and I don’t have any friends here. So I just write and draw most of the time. Sometimes I have to get some water. But we don’t know if the water is clean or not. Who … has to work? S 1 is not sure if the drinking water is safe? 2 isn’t allowed to leave a home for children? 3 lives in a good house? 4 misses school? 5 lives alone? 6 could say “I miss my parents”? 7 had to flee their home? 8 could say “I want to learn new things again”? 9 could say “I hope they won’t catch me”? 10 7 l m n I can understand and use adverbs of manner in sentences. 8 l m n I can understand texts about everyday life. 1 either of them – keine(r) von beiden 2 war – Krieg 19 Children’s rights 3 Unit nineteen Nur zu Prüfzwecken – Eigentum des Verlags öbv
