1. Reading comprehension. Read the following text.
Then answer the questions below in complete sentences.
My sister and I, Sue, didn't know what to do this weekend. So in the end we went to the greyhound races. We wanted to see Uncle Mike's greyhound. He
had bought her in France last year. Our dad took us to the stadium. We had to
pay five pounds to go in. I think this is very expensive.
There were lots of people there. Many of them were betting on the races. Our
uncle's dog came in last. I did not bet, and so I did not lose any money.
Before we went home, my sister invited me to a restaurant. We had a cup of tea
and a big portion of fish and chips. I like fish and chips very much.
We came home at 10 o'clock. Then our mother let us watch a great western on TV.
Well, I must say this weekend was not boring at all.
