Good morning,
Like every Tuesday, we are going to do a reading comprehension activity.
Read the text and answer the questions(in your English notebook):
WHAT A DAY!
Friday 13th September
What a day!
My alarm clock didn’t ring so I overslept. I woke up at ten o’clock with a
terrible tooth-ache. I suddenly remembered I had an appointment with the
dentist at quarter past ten. I ran out of the house and down the street. Then I
saw some girls laughing at me. I looked down. I was still in my pyjama
trousers. I ran back home, but then I found I didn’t have my keys. I couldn’t
open the door. I got a ladder from the garage and started to climb up to my
bedroom window. But the ladder was very old and it broke. I fell off and broke
my leg. Now I’m in hospital. My tooth still hurts and my leg hurts, too!
