    Hello! I'm Mayumi Kumi, from Japan. I'm, fourteen years old now. I want to be a clothes designer when I grow up. I love dressing up, I love clothes. I've got two boxes full of them in my bedroom at home. At school I always draw clothes in my notebooks, shirts, trousers and jeans! The teachers always get angry with me! I've got three hobbies: drawing clothes, collecting hats and playing baseball. Now l've got thirty-one hats, so I can wear a different hat every day of a month! Baseball caps are good for sports. I want to break the school record for playing baseball, so I practise every day in the Car Park near our flat. I've got a competition this afternoon.

    Joanne McGrath worked with one hundred students in Grade 6. She made a School Transportation Survey from them.

    Here are questions and results:

⒈ How do you usually come to school in the morning?

Taxi: 2              Car: 50              Bus: 30

Bicycle: 5            Walking: 13

⒉ How do you usually go home after school?

Taxi: 2              Car: 38              Bus: 39

Bicycle: 5            Walking: 16

⒊ If you go to school in a car, how many people are there in it?

2 passengers: 17      3 passengers: 20

4 passengers: 11      5 passengers: 2

⒋ Do you walk, ride your bike, or skateboard to school when the weather is warm?

Walk: 30             Ride a bike: 55       Skate: 15

    We found that collecting data was very difficult, because few kids had a concept of seasons. The trend(趋势) for the older students, though, showed that they walked and used bikes more often in September, May and June.
