Read the text, then answer: « Amira’s big race »
Amira is in Year 6 at a school in Kairouan. She loves running, and she is in the blue team. She trains with her coach, Mr Karim, on Friday afternoon.
Today is sports day. In the morning, Amira has a headache. She is sad because she wants to run in the big race. Her friend Ons asks, “Would you like some water?” “Yes, please,” says Amira. Mr Karim says, “You should sit in the shade and rest. And you mustn’t run in the sun without a cap.”
After an hour, Amira feels better. She puts on her cap and runs very fast. Her team wins the race! The children of the red team lose, but they aren’t unhappy: they clap for the blue team.
In the evening, Amira tells her mum, “Sport is fun, but we must drink lots of water.”

A model text to compare with (after writing mine)
Dear Yassine,
How are you feeling today? I know you have a stomachache. You should stay in bed and drink lots of water. You mustn’t eat sweets or crisps. Today is sports day at school. First, we play football, then we run a big race. My team wins the football match, but we lose the race. Everybody is tired but happy. I hope you get well soon!
Your friend, Hamza
One good example among many: compare, don’t copy.
