7 Read and write Right , Wrong or Doesn’t say.

The story I’ve just finished reading is called Space Spells. It’s about time
travel, which is such a fascinating subject. I’m so interested in it that I’ve
started writing my own book. In it I travel to New York in 2050 to find out
about life there. Because I also like science fiction, I’ve put in some aliens
who have travelled from their own planet. They’re small, green and
friendly. I’ve also invented an enormous creature called a drebbin which
has eight legs and can fly. I’ve enjoyed writing stories since I was eight.

Calum enjoys reading science fiction stories. ®ight
