READING

Read the text “My trip to Canada ” and choose the correct item.

My trip to Canada by Tessa Watts

I had a great time on my adventure trip to Canada. I went with two teachers and all

my classmates. I missed my family at first but by the end of the holiday, I didn’t

want to go home!

On my favourite day, we went on a really long walk in the mountains. We had to

carry all our things in bags on our backs which was hard work but we never got

bored because we all chatted the whole time. We had a rock climbing lesson just

before our picnic lunch and later that afternoon we arrived at a lake where we

camped for the night. Three of my classmates tried to fish, without success! I

helped build the fire. The teachers and two of the older students made supper, then

we sat in our blankets around the fire and sang songs and made wishes in the dark.

We decided not to sleep inside the tents, but outdoors because we wanted to look at

the stars. Some of the boys made “bear” noises trying to make us afraid, but we

were still laughing at midnight because we were having so much fun. I’ll never

forget that day.
