THE ADVENTURES OF TOM SAWYER


The summer holidays came, and there was no school. Tom didn’t want to think about
Muff Potter and Injun Joe, but it wasn’t easy. At night, when he was in bed, he saw Injun
Joe’s face in the dark, and he couldn’t sleep. But he couldn’t talk to anyone about it.
One hot summer’s day, he and Joe Harper were down by Mississippi River. They sat and
watched the boats, and fished and talked.
‘Let's get away from here!’ said Tom, suddenly. ‘Let’s go and do something exciting
somewhere.’. ‘OK’, said Joe. ‘But what? And where?’. ‘I know,’ Tom said. ‘Let’s run away.
Let’s go and live on Jackson’s Island. We can sleep out, under the trees.’
Jackson’s Island was in Mississippi, three miles south of St Petersburg. Nobody lived
there.
‘Let’s ask Huck Finn, too.’ said Tom. ‘But don’t tell your mother or father or anyone. Go
home and get some things to eat, and meet me here at midnight,’
So that night, three boys in small boat went down the river to Jackson’s Island. They had
some bread and some meat, and Huck had his pipe, too. When they got there, they
carried everything on to the island and made a fire, under a big old tree. Then they
cooked some of the meat over the fire, and oh, that meat was so good – the best dinner
in the world! Soon , they stopped talking, their eyes closed and they slept.

What places can you find in a theme park?

Theme Parks, USA


Theme parks are where you find rollercoasters and rides. They are very popular in the
USA. There are more than 300 theme parks there, and they are all very friendly places
with a lot of exciting things to do.
The first big American theme park was Disneyland. It opened in 1955 in California and
people loved it, especially families with children.
American wanted more, and so the number of theme parks in the country grew. Walt
Disney World in Florida had its first visitors in 1971. It is still open today and it is very
successful. In 2013, more than eighteen million people visited the Magic Kingdom there.
The rides at modern American theme parks are faster and more exciting than in the
past — but they are very safe. The bravest people can go on ‘thrill rides’ - these are
scary rides that use a lot of expensive technology. There are also family rides and water
rides. These rides are great for children.
Theme parks have got a lot to offer - more than just rides and rollercoasters. There are
also shops, cafes, restaurants, shows and concerts. Families sometimes have a holiday at
a theme park and stay in a hotel there.

PROJECT . A holiday
2. Last week Keiko went on one of the holidays in exercise 1. She wrote a review on the
internet. Read her review and answer the questions. (page 115)

Reviews
We stayed at the Old Bank Hotel in the city centre. There was a
lot to see and I took hundreds of photographs of the colleges!
In my free time I went to the Covered Market and bought
some cool presents for my friends. The best thing was the ice
cream at G&D’s — it was delicious and the man in the cafe was
very friendly. I didn’t really enjoy going punting because it was
quite difficult and I fell into the river!
