She looks like any other schoolgirl, fresh-faced and full of life. Sarah Thomas is looking forward to the challenge of her new A-level course. But unlike her school friends, 16-year-old Sarah is not spending half-term (rest). Instead, she is earning £6,500 a day as model in New York.
Sarah (tell) that she could be Britain's new supermodel, earning a million dollars in the next year. Her father Peter, 44, wants her to give up school to model full-time. But Sarah, has taken part in shows along with top models, wants (prove) that she has brains as well as beauty. She is determined to carry on with her (educate).
She has turned down several (invitation) to star at shows in order to focus her studies. After school she plans to take a year off to model full-time before going to university to get a degree in engineering or architecture.
Sarah says, "My dad thinks I should take the offer now. But at the moment, school (come) first. I don't want to get too addicted to modeling. It is (certain) fun but the lifestyle is a little unreal. I don't want to have nothing else to fall back on when I can't model any more."
