Long ago, there were three friends, a carpenter, a tailor and a goldsmith. They decided to go together to the other village in search of better jobs. They carried their tools along with them. They walked all day, but still couldn’t reach the village. They decide to have rest under a tree and sleep in the forest, as it was dark already. Fearing that someone could rob them if they all fell asleep, they decide to take turns to stay awake and look after their belongings. First the carpenter was awake to took after the belongings. He had nothing to do, so he took his tools out from his bag and thought of carving a lovely doll. He started his job and ended with a beautiful wooden doll with lovely black eyes and long black hair.

Seeing the doll tailor thought, “ let me dress her up with a costly dress.” So he took out a small but beautiful piece of cloth from his belongings and made a dress for her and now rosemary wore a lovely dress and looked so pretty!

Dear diary, Yesterday was a great moment in my life. You know why? I was flying! Thanks to my uncle who is a pilot instructor. I confidently said yes when he invite me to fly with him. Well, i was sitting in a plane as small as a car while my uncle was flying the plane. Then, he started the engine and slowly but surely, we were speeding along the runway at such a high speed. I bet a cheetah could not run as fast as us! We were running along the grey, thin strip of concrete. In my ears i was wearing a pair of black, shiny earphone which allowed me to listen and talk to the pilot. I looked out of the window and watched the ground go whizzing by. It was so cool! The plane was screaming as it ran along the track-suddenly we were airborne and the ground was getting smaller and smaller. Whoosh, i felt like a bird flying high skywards; my feathers were soaring and the wind was rushing through my hair. The window as small as the door of a bird cage suddenly opened and i could feel the cool, cold air blowing all over me. I was freezing. I yelled for help. My uncle turned around and smiled. He calmly shut the window and we continued on our trip. In the blink of an eye we were getting close to the airport. My uncle asked me to look out of the window. I leant over and there were two dolphins swimming in the beautiful, calm sea. They looked so tiny. Their tails were crashing and bashing the water and making the ocean foam like a bubble bath. It was fantastic. Then, i saw airport. The control tower was standing tall like a giant and the runway was getting closer and closer. My ears popped and i could see the grass rushing up to meet us. Next as gently as a feather floating on a summer breeze, we landed, safe and sound. What a great experience! I hope i can fly my own plane, one day. 1. what is the text about? 2. who flew the plane? 3. what did the writer put in his/her ears? 4. why did he/she wear the device? 5. why did he/she freeze? 6. why did the writer's uncle ask him/her to look out the window? 7. when did he ask the writer to look out of the window? 8. what did he/she see when the plane was near the airport? 9. what does he/she hope? 10. "...floating on a summer breeze, we landed,..." what is the opposite meaning of 'landed'?
