Reading Passage.
Annie has always loved the state of Hawaii. She read many books about it and studied its history
in School. What she liked most was the pretty beaches and warm weather. She had asked her
mom once if they could ever go to Hawaii for their family vacation. ‘I don’t know’, her mother
responded, ‘Hawaii is far away and the trip would cost a fortune, maybe someday we’ll get there.’
Annie thought of staring to save her allowance but realized it would take forever.
One day, while Annie was in the library at her school, she found a travel magazine that had an
entry form to fill out in order to enter a contest and win a prize. To Annie’s surprise, the prize
was actually a trip to Hawaii. Annie looked at her best friend Mandy and asked ‘do you think
Miss Brown would let take the magazine home to fill out the form?’

7
‘I don’t see why not’ replied Mandy.
Miss Brown told Annie that she could take the magazine home and she was very excited about
the chance to win a trip to Hawaii. That night Annie filled out all the necessary information and
sent the entry form by mail.
A few weeks went by, and Annie’s mother received a call from the Leisure
Time Travel Agency and they informed her that Annie has in fact won
a trip to Hawaii. It was one of the best trips that Annie ever went on and
she couldn’t be happier.
