READING AND WRITING
1 Look at the pictures round story A and find a teapot, a spout, a toadstool and a stem. Do NOT read the story yet!
2 Read story A and story B. Which do you find more memorable? Why?
Story A
Jill was hurrying through the woods to her aunttasks house. It was her aunttasks fiftieth birthday and Jill had a present for her: a brand new china teapot. Jill had wrapped it as best as she could, but the spout was sticking out of the paper, and it looked rather odd.
After a little while, Jill came across a huge toadstool on the path, which was blocking her way. Inspecting the toadstool - which was taller than she was - she was amazed to find a window in the stem. taskIs there a door anywhere?task she wondered. She walked slowly all round the toadstool, but couldntaskt see any way in.
Jill longed to have a look inside this curious toadstool, and she sat down under a nearby tree, pondering what to do. She leaned her head against the tree trunk and all of a sudden, a hidden door in the stem of the toadstool sprang open. She must have discovered a secret mechanism. Excitedly, Jill slipped through the door.
Inside, the toadstool was even bigger than it had looked from the outside. There was a spiral staircase at Jilltasks feet leading into the ground, and she held on to the bright blue railing as she picked her way nervously downwards. Suddenly, the stairs came to an end in front of a tiny door. Just then, deafening rock music started to play on the other side of the door, and, to her horror, Jill thought she could smell burning
Story B
Jack was walking along the beach looking for his friends. He was carrying his swimming trunks in a bag, along with some sunscreen, a book and a baseball cap.
There was no sign of his friends, so he bought an ice cream and built a sandcastle. Then he lay down on the sand and went to sleep.
When Jack woke up, his friends were still nowhere to be seen. He bought a drink from a kiosk, took out his book and started to read. He looked up every so often to see if his friends were coming. But he got bored with the book and started to look round the beach. It was crowded with people who were playing ball, walking dogs and flying kites - but where were his friends?
It was the right day, and it was well after two otaskclock, the agreed time - so where were they?
Jack was hungry again, so he bought a hotdog and some chips. He walked along the edge of the water and saw water skiers and people in boats.
Then he stopped for a few moments to watch a ball game. When he continued his walk, he saw some children building sandcastles and sunbathers enjoying the weather.
When Jack reached the end of the beach he was ready to give up- then, from the distance, he heard familiar voices
