Reading (the second term)

My name is Tom Austin. I live in a small town of Durham in the north of England.

This story is about the day when I went to London with my dad for my 12th birthday. I woke up at five o’clock in the morning. When I got downstairs and said goodbye to my mum, Dad and I got into the car and drove to the train station.

On the train, we were talking about what sights we wanted to see. When we arrived at St Pancreas Station, we went in search of something to eat. We found a subway café and had lunch there. Then we set off walking around London. Some of the sights we saw were Nelson’s Column, Big Ben, the Tower of London and Westminster Abbey. But the main attraction of the day was a flight on the London Eye. I was really looking forward to this and it didn’t disappoint me. At last, we got on the train home. On our way back, my dad and I were discussing what we had seen and done during the day. We both decided that we had really enjoyed our day.

THE TRAVELER AND THE LION

One day a traveler in Africa went for a walk. When he was far from home, he saw a lion. The lion saw him at the same time and began to go after him. When the traveler walked quickly, the lion walked quickly, too. When he stopped, the lion also stopped. The man thought, ‘’ the lion is going to jump at me when it is dark. I cannot run away, so I must think of something.’’ He looked round and saw a large stone. It was near the river which the lion could not see. The man came to the stone and sat behind it. Then he took a stick, put his coat and his hat on it and put the stick out above the stone.

Soon the lion came nearer. He saw the coat and the hat and jumped at them. He jumped straight over the place where the man sat and fell into the river.

It was his last jump, and the traveler went home.
