The Games We Used to Play

These days things are clearly not like they were when I was young. We (1) did not have computer games, cable television or the Internet to keep us entertained — we had to amuse (2) ourselves. Even at school we (3) were expected to be outside. We (4) were not allowed to stay indoors.

My (5) first primary school was surrounded by a wall. Many of the games we played were based along the wall. “What Time Is It, Mr Wolf?” was the (6) greatest favourite. One person was “it”. He or she had to answer the question “What time is it, Mr Wolf?” They could answer any time they liked, but when the reply was “Twelve o’clock. Dinner time, ” we all had to run for the wall. If anyone (7) was caught, they became Mr Wolf, and the game continued. Different schools had (8) their own favourites. Sadly, it seems that some of these games (9) are disappearing.

Among the summer language courses the most expensive ones are in the English-speaking countries.

My idea of the future (1) job may seem rather strange to you, but I think it’s one of the most important in the world and history proves its importance.

Early men who lived where sharp rocks hurt their feet, soon began to think of some way of protecting them. So they produced a kind of sandals using flat pieces of wood. In colder parts of the world, man soon felt a need to give his feet even more protection, so he added more material to the top of the sandals, and (2) thus the shoe was born.

Sandals were worn by the ancient Egyptians as long as 5, 000 years ago! At first, in fact, the sandals were worn only by the rich Egyptians. They would walk along followed by a servant who carried a (3) pair of sandals just in case the master would need or want to put them on. Later, of course, all the people began wearing them. Sometimes they made the sandals with upturned toes, to give the foot more protection. Egyptians were the first (4) shoemakers in the world.

The Greek developed the boot by gradually changing the straps which held the sandals to the feet for solid leather. Even today many primitive forms of shoes still survive. We still wear sandals very much (5) like those worn by the ancient Romans and Greeks. We have moccasins which are like those worn by the American Indians. And people in Holland still wear wooden shoes!

Modern shoes as we know them began to appear in the Middle Ages about the time the Crusades started. Because the Crusaders went on long (6) journeys they needed good protection for their feet, and so people began to make shoes that would (7) last for a long time.

With time shoes became an object of fashion and all kinds of ridiculous styles appeared.
