Ewen is a young boy who lives in the south of France with his parents, his brother and his sister.

He can ride a bike and ride a pony but he can't dance.

He can play football, basketball, tennis and table tennis but he can't fly because he is not Superman!

He can speak English a little but he can't speak German.

Of course, he can speak French very well!

At home, he must do his homework.

He must set the table and tidy his bedroom.

He must also help his mother!

He mustn't break anything and he mustn't touch his brother's and his sister's stuff.

He mustn't fight with his brother and his sister.

Ewen loves his private lessons with Mrs Williams!
