    COMPREHENSION READING

    The Old Colonel

    I think I have had a very interesting life. I’m 73 now and I don’t want to work
    anymore. I was in the army for 51 years. I retired when I was 69. I have been to
    so many countries that I can’t remember how all of them. I’ve been in Australia,
    six or seven times in South Africa theee times. I have also once yo Russia but
    I didn’t like it at all: Mich too cold for me!

    They say that love is the gratest thing and I’m agree. I've been married four
    times but never for more than five years.

    I don’t think women really understand me!

    I've never been in television, but I’ve been on the radio once. It was a
    programen about life in the military about twenty years ago. I met the Prime
    Minister no the same day. Actually I’ve met a lot of famous people: members of
    the royal family, famous politicians and famous cinema and television
    personalities. I’ve never met the American President though which is a pity.

    Because i’ve been traveled a lot. I’ve seen a lot of wonderful things and have
    also eaten and drunk some strange foods and drinks. I ate cats and rat in
    India, drank something called Mirto on a little Island in Italy many years ago.
