READING COMPREHENSION

A Hello, my name is John. If you have read my blog you know that I am not usually an
adventurous person. But today it was different. I was walking down the street on my way
to work, when suddenly, someone stole my bag with my laptop in it. I am a slow runner,
but I ran after him as fast as I could. I came very close but unfortunately I didn’t catch
him. What would you do if someone stole your laptop?
 Kitkat said: I’m very careful. If someone stole my laptop, I wouldn’t run after him.
He could be dangerous. I would call the police instead.
 Larry-in-London said: If someone stole my laptop, I’d laugh. It’s a terrible laptop. I
would love to buy a new one.
 Tony said: If someone took my laptop, I would try to get it back in a creative way. I
would put up notices around the area and offer a reward.
 Kitkat said: Wow! You really are creative, Tony!
