Rain pounded down on the roof. I was trying to read but the sound was too loud. I couldn’t help myself from being a little grumpy. I wanted to be outside playing, but the rain was keeping me inside.
My mom had gone to the grocery store, and my dad was spending Saturday at the office. I had planned to spend the day hiking, but Mother Nature decided that today was the perfect day for rain.
It meant that I would have to entertain myself. I spent most of the morning playing with my stuffed animals and reading. I was sitting next to the window staring out when I got a strange idea: why not just go outside anyway?
I put on my boots and a big raincoat and stepped out into the wet world. It was raining hard but it wasn’t cold. All I could hear were raindrops and the wind. I decided to go on my hike anyway.
My feet didn’t make any sound on the wet ground and the forest seemed different. I went to my favourite place and sat down. In the summer, my best friend Ellen and I would come here and sit for hours. It was our special place. All of a sudden, I thought I heard someone shouting my name. I turned and saw Ellen walking up behind me.
“Oh my Gosh! It’s really you, Martha!” she said. “I can’t believe that you are out here right now. I thought I would be the only person crazy enough to go for a walk in the rain.”
I was very happy to have some company. We decided that hiking in the rain was just as fun as hiking in the sunshine. We planned on hiking in the rain again.
What did Martha think about being outside?
A. It was too hot.
B. It was too cold.
C. It was very nice
D. It was too wet to walk.
I was walking along the deserted main street of a small seaside town in the north of England looking for somewhere to make a phone call. My car had broken (break) down outside the town and I wanted to contact the AA. The street ran (run) parallel to the sea and was joined to it by a number of narrow side streets. Low grey clouds were drifting (drift) across the sky and there was (be) a cold damp wind blowing off the sea which nearly threw me off my feet when I was crossing (cross) one of the side streets. It had been raining (rain) for a long time.
