Judy is a pupil at the Royal Ballet School. She is in the second-year class where all the pupils are twelve years old. There are about 120 boys and girls at the Ballet School. Their ages are from eleven to sixteen. Judy's school life is not easy at all. She has many subjects in her timetable. She learns the English Language and Literature, French, History, Geography, Mathematics [ˌmæθɪ'mætɪks], Biology [baɪ'ɒləʤɪ], Music and Art. Judy and her friends also have a special subject — the History of ballet. It is very important. Every day the pupils learn to dance and have a one-hour ballet class on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. After the second year, dance classes are longer. The pupils dance for one hour and a quarter every day.

In the fourth and fifth years they have an hour and a half of ballet lessons. Judy spends a lot of time with her schoolmates and gets on well with all of them. But her best friend is called Penny. They sit at the same desk, meet each other before and after classes and often do lessons together.

Penny and Judy like dancing very much. They are never late for the ballet class which begins at half past ten in the morning and finishes at 11.30, but the girls get up early in the morning — usually at 7 o'clock as school starts at half past eight. The girls learn a lot, fast and easily in their ballet classes and they often remain at school after classes to learn the different positions for arms and feet. There are five basic ['beɪsɪk] positions. These are three hundred years old. The girls have 'prep' after supper and have only half an hour free before bedtime. Sometimes Judy and Penny feel tired after their busy day, but ballet is certainly hard work, but they are happy too. Ballet is certainly hard work, but they love it. They also like to sing songs.

Judy doesn't have any problems with the other subjects either, but Penny is poor at reading. When she joined the school last year, she thought she could read very well. She was sure that fast reading was the best kind of reading, so she always tried to read as fast as she could. Sometimes Penny read so quickly that one letter looked just like another. Sometimes she even left out letters. One day Penny's teacher said, "Today we'll read a story. It's about eight cats. Who would like to read first?" "I would!" cried Penny. "All right, Penny," said her teacher. "But remember fast reading is not always the best reading." Penny started all right, but soon she began to read faster. This is what she suddenly said: "One day eight cats saw a lady jump out of a can."

The children began to laugh because the story read: "One day eight cats saw a lady jump out of a car."

Penny looked at the text again and reread it, "Now I have it right," she said smiling and then continued to read.

There were many funny things like that in Penny's life. One day she ran home from school and looked in the shop window. This is what she saw:

"Children's Clothes. Best Buy of the Year."

But that was what she read: "Chicken's Clothes. Best Buy of the Year."

She laughed, "I never heard of clothes for chickens before!"

On the door of the pet shop she read: "Buy a pet monkey today."

But Penny said: "Buy a pig money today."

Penny laughed, "Who would want to buy a pig some money and why?"

Judy was a real friend so she always helped Penny with her reading. Now Penny's reading is becoming a bit slower, but it is still difficult for her to read slowly.
