&lt;p&gt;Salim missed the last bus by two minutes. He could see the red
tail-lights at the corner; then they were gone. The shelter
smelled of rain. There was an old man in a coat that was too
big, holding a paper cup. Salim sat on the cold metal bench and
stared at his shoes. &amp;ldquo;First time?&amp;rdquo; the old man said. &amp;ldquo;First
time what?&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;First time you missed the last bus.&amp;rdquo; Salim almost
laughed. &amp;ldquo;Yes.&amp;rdquo; The old man nodded. &amp;ldquo;Sit. Walk later. The walk

&lt;p&gt;When Ben turned twelve, he stopped fitting his old jacket. The
sleeves used to cover his hands; now they ended above his
wrists. His mother laughed and said, &amp;ldquo;I didn&amp;rsquo;t see this coming.&amp;rdquo;
The strange thing was that nothing else in the house had
changed: the kitchen table, the loud fridge, the cat asleep on
the radiator. Only Ben was different. He used to like the
jacket because the pockets were enormous. He still liked the
pockets. But now they sat too high on his ribs to be useful.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Klassenarbeit — Unit 3: Media in Our Lives</title><link>https://boulingua.github.io/efl/track-gm/kl07/units/unit03-media-in-our-lives-exam/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://boulingua.github.io/efl/track-gm/kl07/units/unit03-media-in-our-lives-exam/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Track G+M · Klasse 7 · Niveau M · 45 Minuten&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;Ben.&lt;/strong&gt; Just for one week? That sounds impossible.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Aisha.&lt;/strong&gt; It was hard for two days. After that, it was kind
of nice. The kitchen got quieter, but my room got louder
because I started reading aloud to my cat.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Ben.&lt;/strong&gt; You read to your cat?&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Aisha.&lt;/strong&gt; She listens. She&amp;rsquo;s a better audience than my

&lt;strong&gt;Ms. Reyes.&lt;/strong&gt; What did you do with the time you would have
spent on the phone?&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Aisha.&lt;/strong&gt; I made dinner once. I drew badly. I went to bed
earlier.

&lt;p&gt;The first thing Maya noticed in Phoenix was the sound of the
air conditioning. It was everywhere: in the supermarket, in the
car, in the hotel lobby. Outside, the heat had a sound too —
the steady drone of cicadas in the desert trees. Her cousins
said you stop hearing the cicadas after about a week. She did
not believe them. By the end of the third day, she realised
they were right. The desert had its own kind of silence, and it
was full of noises she would not have called noises a week
earlier.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Klassenarbeit — Unit 6: Food Cultures</title><link>https://boulingua.github.io/efl/track-gm/kl07/units/unit06-food-cultures-exam/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://boulingua.github.io/efl/track-gm/kl07/units/unit06-food-cultures-exam/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Track G+M · Klasse 7 · Niveau M · 45 Minuten&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Anya&amp;rsquo;s grandfather makes the same dish every Sunday: rice, chicken,
a sauce with herbs the family will not name in English because
the English name does not feel right. The dish has migrated
with the family for two generations. In the village, it was
made with a chicken from the yard. In the city, it is made with
a chicken from the supermarket. The taste is mostly the same.
Sundays are the day Anya&amp;rsquo;s grandfather speaks the most. The
dish, he says, is what the family is. Every other day they
argue about everything. On Sundays they argue about the
chicken.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Klassenarbeit — Unit 7: Being a Friend</title><link>https://boulingua.github.io/efl/track-gm/kl07/units/unit07-being-a-friend-exam/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://boulingua.github.io/efl/track-gm/kl07/units/unit07-being-a-friend-exam/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Track G+M · Klasse 7 · Niveau M · 45 Minuten&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Ms. Reyes wrote the new school rules on the board: phones in
boxes at the gate, no caps in lessons, no soft drinks in the
classrooms. The class read the list. Aisha put up her hand. &amp;ldquo;Who
made these rules?&amp;rdquo; Ms. Reyes said, &amp;ldquo;Adults.&amp;rdquo; Aisha said,
&amp;ldquo;Adults who go to school here?&amp;rdquo; Ms. Reyes paused. &amp;ldquo;That&amp;rsquo;s a fair
question. We should put it on the agenda.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
