My family’s party

I’ll never forget last July. That’s when my big sister and her boyfriend decided to get married, and my parents had a fantastic party at our house to celebrate.

First, my mum and I went shopping for food and drink. At six o’clock, my sister’s friends arrived for the party. At seven o’clock, my dad started the barbecue in the garden and after that we cooked potatoes and burgers. It was a very warm night. We ate the food and then Dad started the firework display – that was a great surprise. Finally, at about eleven o’clock, everyone went home. There were about twenty people and we all had a good time. Only our dog didn’t enjoy the party. He stayed in the house – he didn’t like the noise of the fireworks! It was a great evening and I was really happy. 

Jack 

Tạm dịch:

Tôi sẽ không bao giờ quên tháng Bảy năm ngoái. Đó là khi chị gái của tôi và bạn trai của cô ấy quyết định kết hôn, và bố mẹ tôi đã tổ chức một bữa tiệc tuyệt vời tại nhà của chúng tôi để ăn mừng.

Đầu tiên, tôi và mẹ đi mua đồ ăn và thức uống. Lúc sáu giờ tối, bạn bè của chị gái tôi đến dự tiệc. Lúc bảy giờ tối, bố tôi bắt đầu tiệc nướng trong vườn và sau đó chúng tôi nấu khoai tây và bánh mì kẹp thịt. Đó là một đêm rất ấm áp. Chúng tôi ăn thức ăn và sau đó bố bắt đầu bắn pháo hoa - đó là một bất ngờ lớn. Cuối cùng, vào khoảng 11 giờ tối, mọi người đều về nhà.

Có khoảng hai mươi người và tất cả chúng tôi đã có một khoảng thời gian vui vẻ. Chỉ có con chó của chúng tôi là không thích bữa tiệc. Nó ấy ở trong nhà - nó ấy không thích tiếng ồn của pháo hoa! Đó là một buổi tối tuyệt vời và tôi thực sự vui.

A tunnel into the past

A

In September 1940, eighteen-year-old Marcel Ravidat was in the woods near his home in Montignac, France, when he found a hole in the ground. In the village of Montignac, there were stories about an old tunnel with treasure ïn it. Was this the famous tunnel?

B

Four days later, Marcel came back to the woods with a big light and three younger friends – the youngest was fourteen. The boys took some plants away from over the hole and they saw a long tunnel đown into the ground.

C

One by one, the boys went down the dark tunnel. After fifteen metres, they came to a cave and explored it. With their light, they looked up at the walls and the roof of the cave. Suddenly, they saw a lot of pictures — there were hundreds of amazing animals in red, brown and black!

D

At first the cave was a secret. But after three days they told their friends and families, and their teacher, Mr Laval. Mr Laval went down the tunnel and he understood at once – the paintings weren’t hundreds of year old, they were very old and very important. 

E

Soon a famous historian, Henri Breuil, came to explore the cave. There were a round 1500 pictures in it! He talked to Marcel and the others. These amazing pictures were over 17000 years old and the boys were the first modern people to see them!
