My name is Olivia and I live in a circus. Our home is a trailer - I can't imagine living (a)
2
a house and staying at the same place for ages. For me, being in another town all the time is
3
wonderful. We travel from mountains to cities, from the sea to the forest. I always (b)
4
my playmates around. We all come from different countries. I love my family and they are
5
always around me. We live together, work together and eat together every day. We are
6
never (c) than a few hundred feet away from each other. My parents look
7
after me and the other children - nobody is left alone. "What (d) schooling?",
8
you may ask. But guess what - we have our own teachers and they travel with us. From time
9
to time, we are supposed to talk to a head teacher from a school nearby. But that isn't a
10
problem for us. In our circus life we have our own responsibilities - most of them daily. We help
11
feeding the animals, we look after their cages, we help cleaning our wagons and of course we
12
practise our own circus acts. We do it as (e) parents do - we watch them very closely
13
and one day we (f) be showmen and show women - just like them!
