HENRY’S BLOG! 1 2
A
My name’s Henry and this is my dad, Angus. Dad’s got an
interesting job: he takes photos of animals and he needs to travel a
lot. In summer I always go with him.
B
We visit a different country every year! We often catch a train. It’s
more expensive than the bus but I think it’s more fun. At night, we
sleep in our tent – it’s great! 3 4
C
Our last trip was to Australia. We were in the rainforest in Darwin.
There were lots of fantastic animals and some of them were very
dangerous! It was interesting but it was too hot!
D
Our longest trip was to Turkey. We were there for three weeks. The
weather wasn’t great but there were some amazing buildings and the
beaches were good too! Some of my dad’s photos were under water!
E
My favourite place is Thailand. We were there for two weeks when 5 6
I was eleven. The people were nice and the food was fantastic! My
dad’s photos were amazing too. I really like this elephant!
F
I always have a great time but there’s one thing I don’t like: I can’t
take my football because my bag is too small! But I always put my
tablet in my bag and I send emails and photos to my friends. My dad’s
bag is bigger than my bag. In his bag, there is always a small knife, a
water bottle, our train tickets and, of course, his camera and our tent!

The
Ant and the
Grasshopper
1 The ant and the grasshopper lived in a park.
It was summer and the grasshopper was sitting
on a beautiful flower. ‘What are you doing?’ he
asked the ant. ‘Let’s sing and dance! It’s too hot to b
work!’ But the ant didn’t stop. ‘It’s summer now,’
he answered, ‘but I need to work because I want
to find food for the long, cold winter.’ The young
grasshopper didn’t listen. He didn’t want to work,
he wanted to dance. He walked in the park and
he played with his friends. It was summer and he
was happy!
