Lara and Mia are twins. They are ten years old. It is summer, and they are on holiday with their parents. They stay in a hotel at the seaside. From the balcony, they can see the blue sea, the sandy beach, and the swimming pool.
After breakfast, Lara and Mia put on their swimsuits. They take towels, sun cream, and a ball. The hotel pool is very big and clean. Many children are already playing there. The twins jump into the water. It is cool and feels nice on the hot day.
First, they play in the shallow part of the pool. They throw the ball and splash each other. Then they swim to the deeper part. Mia likes to dive under the water and blow air out of her mouth. This makes bubbles – small round balls of air that go up to the top of the water. Lara likes to float on her back and watch the clouds.
In the afternoon, they walk to the beach. The sand is soft and warm. They build a sandcastle and look for shells.
When the sun goes down, they go back to their hotel room, tired but happy after a perfect holiday day.

A ten‑year‑old girl from Austria practices hard, gets better every week, and is proud of her swimming certificate.
Mia is ten years old. She goes to Volksschule in Austria. She can already swim a little. She knows how to float and move her arms and legs. She is safe in the water and will not drown. But Mia wants to learn more. She wants to swim better and learn all the swimming styles.
Every week her class goes to the indoor swimming pool. The teacher shows them different styles. First, Mia learns breaststroke. She moves her arms like a big circle and kicks her legs slowly. Then she learns backstroke. It feels strange to swim on her back, but she practices and gets better.
Later she learns crawl, or freestyle. This is fast and fun. She also tries butterfly, the hardest style. Mia works hard, but she enjoys it. She wants to swim faster and longer.
After some months, the teacher makes a swimming test. Mia shows all four styles. She is proud because she can do them all. The teacher gives her a certificate. At home, Mia shows it to her parents. They are very proud of her. Mia smiles and thinks: “I can do everything if I try.”

Hello, my name is Lara. I am ten years old and I go to a primary school in Austria. In German, we call it “Volksschule.” My day starts early. At seven o’clock I get up. I wash my face and brush my teeth. Then I eat breakfast with my mum. I like bread with jam and hot chocolate.
At half past seven I put on my jacket and walk to school. On the way I meet my friends. We laugh and talk about games. At school, our teacher waits for us. She is very kind and helps us a lot. We have many subjects: maths, English, music, sports and science. Learning is fun because we also play games.
At twelve o’clock school is finished. I walk home. My mum and dad are usually still at work. I eat lunch and then I do my homework. After that I play on the PlayStation or read a book. Sometimes I draw pictures or play outside.
In the evening we eat dinner together. Then I brush my teeth again and put on my pyjamas. At eight o’clock I go to bed. I close my eyes and dream sweet dreams.
