A2 English Reading – Short Story & Grammar Quiz
It was a very sunny day. Sarah and Tom were going to the coast. It was warmer than yesterday, enough for swimming. Sarah packed a lot of snacks and a few bottles of water. Tom was wearing his headphones listening to his classical music. He liked it much more than pop.
The beach was more crowded than they expected. There were too many people! They walked slowly to find a good spot. Sarah loved to collect seashells. She always looked carefully for the most beautiful ones. Tom, however, preferred to relax.
Suddenly, a small dog ran quickly past them and took one of Sarah’s biscuits. Sarah laughed. “He must be hungrier than I am!” she said.
They found a quiet place between some rocks. The water was very clear. Sarah went for a swim. Tom sat comfortably on his towel and listened to his music. He felt perfectly happy. This was the best day of the week. They didn’t have to leave until sunset.
