I - READING COMPREHENSION

(6 marks= 0.5x12)

1-Many people like to go to amusement parks to have fun, but I dont! Yesterday, and on the occasion of my fifteenth birthday a group of my friends decided to take me to Magic Land, an amusement park in my city. I thought I would have a very good time, but it was wrong. I had the worst time ever. 2-We went on too many roller coasters. At first, they were all very exciting and I screamed until my lungs hurt. My friends wanted to ride more of them, and so for three hours, we didnt stop to rest. We went on three other dangerous games before I started feeling really sick. I finally threw up all that I have eaten for breakfast on the last roller coaster. I was very embarrassed. 3-That was when my friends decided that we needed a lunch break if they wanted me to survive the whole day. My stomach was still feeling awful, but they insisted that I needed to eat to have enough energy for the rest of the day. When I went to one of the fast foods, however, I saw that the prices were outrageous, so I ordered only some chips for eight dollars. I picked up the salt shaker, and to my surprise, the top fell off, spilling a lot of salt on my food. My chips were damaged.==========> 4-By now I was really upset and my face was red, so my friends suggested we go on a water ride so I could cool down. I thought it was a good idea, but when we rode it, I forgot to take my eye glasses off. At one point, they fell into the water. I watched them disappearing helplessly while our boat continued running fast. I had to go through the day practically blind. me a million dollars to do it. 5-I have decided that I will never go to Magic Land again, even if someone offers
