TOM SAWYER’S Adventures

1. A boy from Mississippi On the river

WOW! MUCH BETTER THAN SCHOOL!

This story is about Tom Sawyer, a 13-year-old American boy who lived near the great Mississippi River in 1844.

Tom was an orphan and he had a brother, Sid. Tom and Sid both lived with their aunt, Polly, in a small house in St Petersburg, a village in Georgia, in the south of the United States.

Tom was a troublemaker. He liked playing and having adventures and he hated going to school.

One Friday he didn’t go to school but he went to the river instead.

When he got back home Aunt Polly was furious.

YOU’RE A BAD BOY! GO AND PAINT THE fence!

Who paints the fence?

So Tom started painting the fence. He hated working.

His friend Ben came to Tom’s house. He watched Tom and said: “Hey, Tom! I’m going to the river. Are you coming?”

“No, I can’t”, answered Tom. “Don’t you see I’m painting?”

“Of course you can’t come. You’re grounded! That’s why you’re working,” Ben laughed.

WORKING? THIS ISN’T WORK. I’M HAVING FUN INSTEAD!

Check the GLOSSARY for the words you don’t know.

Ben was confused. Then he asked: “Hey, Tom, can I paint a little, too?”

“I don’t know,” Tom answered. “Aunt Polly asked me because I’m a very good painter.”

“Come on, Tom,” said Ben. “I can give you some sweets…”

OK‚ HERE YOU ARE! BUT BE CAREFUL!

Tom handed Ben the brush and the paint and Ben gave him the sweets.

TOM SAWYER’S Adventures

6. Adventure on the river Camping on the island

Tom, Huck and Joe went camping on a small island in the middle of the river. They crossed the river in a small boat and set up a camp on the island.

“We’re a gang of pirates now,” said Huck.

The next day they got up early and went fishing because they didn’t have anything to eat. They ate fish for breakfast and then had a great time swimming in the river and playing pirates.

For dinner they ate turtle eggs and talked about pirates round the fire.

PIRATES ARE LUCKY. THEY DON’T HAVE TO GO TO SCHOOL OR OBEY RULES…

Are you homesick when you go away on a trip for long?

Glossary

“Yeah, they just spend their time burning ships, killing people, burying treasure and taking beautiful girls to their island…” added Huck. They liked being on the island but time passed and they began to feel lonely and homesick.

Back home

One day they heard strange sounds and saw some boats on the river.

TOM!

JOE!

WHERE ARE YOU?

“Look!” cried Huck. “They’re looking for us!”

“Our families will be worried,” said Joe unhappily. “And I’m homesick. I miss my mum…”

After some discussion they decided to go home.

“If we come back during the Sunday mass everybody will welcome us!”

On Sunday morning everybody in St Petersburg went to church.

They were all sad and many people were crying because of the missing boys. Becky had tears in her eyes, too. Suddenly the church door opened and the three boys appeared, safe and sound!

LOOK! THE Everybody was astonished.

Then Aunt Polly and the Harpers started crying with joy.

Polly hugged and kissed Tom and so did the Harpers with their son Joe.

All about me

8 LISTEN AND READ 1 Liam è un ragazzino inglese che oggi ha aperto un blog. Ascolta e leggi quello che scrive.

Hi, everybody!

This is my first blog so I’ll introduce myself.

My name’s Liam Guinness and I’m thirteen. I live in Brixton, a district in the south of London. Brixton is a lively multicultural place and I like it a lot. I live with my mum and my sister Meg in a semi-detached house. I was born in Ireland because my dad is Irish.

We moved to England from Belfast five years ago.

I’m also half Italian because my mum is from Sanremo, on the north-west coast of Italy. That’s why I can speak a bit of Italian. I have a big family with lots of aunts, uncles and cousins, and my grandparents, of course!

I’m in year 8 at Harris Academy South Norwood Secondary School. I’m good at all subjects, but my favourites are Art and Music (by the way, I play the flute). As for sports, I do karate and I play rugby. I am an optimist and those who know me say I’m positive, responsible and sensible… but I think they’re too kind!

Hi everybody!

How are you today? I’m not very well but I’m happy because I spent the weekend in Ireland.

On Friday my family and I took a flight from Heathrow airport to Dublin where our grandparents live. We arrived on Friday evening, just in time to have a typical Irish dinner with grandpa and grandma.

On Saturday morning my sister and I went out to meet our friends in Grafton Street, Dublin’s most popular street for shopping. It was sunny but quite cold and I didn’t have my hoodie with me. We walked, laughed and had something to drink in a café. I had hot chocolate because I was cold. In the afternoon I went skateboarding to Phoenix Park with Paul, Annie and Ben. We had a great time and we also saw some of the deer that live there! I was hot so I took off my sweatshirt. But it was windy and it started raining so I got wet through. In the evening I had a sore throat and a cough and had to stay at home while my parents and my sister went to a restaurant.

The next morning I felt better, luckily. We left at 4 p.m. and at 8 p.m. we were back in our London flat.

PHOENIX PARK is close to Dublin

city centre and is the largest urban park in Europe. It contains a number of old buildings, including the official residence of the President of Ireland.

The park was opened to the public in 1747 and is also home to the Zoological Gardens. In the zoo, the third oldest zoo in the world, there are more than 700 animals and tropical birds.

Deer have been present in Phoenix Park since the 17th century when the aristocracy hunted them for sport.

Today there are 450 animals that descend from those deer which were chased by the nobles for enjoyment.

Dubliners love Phoenix Park. They can do open air activities like walking and running through its gardens, cycling along its trails, playing cricket, polo, hurling, skating and much, much more!
