1 a Read the text. Where might you see it? Is the language formal or informal?

Students at St Hilda’s Secondary School in Riverbank said yesterday that they were extremely upset and were planning to hand in a petition to the Local Education Authority. They said the LEA had not kept its promise to give the school £50,000 to set up a much-needed computer centre.

Students told reporter Mike Standard, ‘The LEA told us not to worry and to wait until January. They said that they would hand over the cheque then. It’s now May and there’s still no sign of it yet!’

Mike Standard asked the students if their school was the only one in the area without their money. They said that Smithson Secondary just along the road had received £50,000 in January so the students at St Hilda’s couldn’t understand why they hadn’t received anything yet.
