Reading Activity
Read the following text. Then, answer the
following question.
I think my first memories
began when I started school at about five years old. I lived in a suburb of
Sydney. I had a happy childhood. I remember playing in a big garden. I fell
from a big tree and broke my hand. I remember I had a naughty friend named
Giant-O, because he was fat. He liked hitting and pulling my head. It was so
pathetic. One day, I hit him over the head with my bag. His parents were very
angry with me. But I didn’t feel sorry at all at that time. Nevertheless, since
then Giant-O has become my good friend. It was such an unforgettable childhood.

On The Train
One day, I was on
the train on my way home from my grandmother’s place. I had spent the day there
and I was very tired. I tried to stay awaked, but didn’t succeed. After
sometime, my eyelids started to feel very heavy. Before I knew it, I was
slobbering. Startled, I awoke to find two beautiful girls who were sitting in
front of me giggling and watchingme. I was mortified!
