A2 English Reading – Short Story & Vocabulary Quiz
It was a beautiful morning. Maria and her family were going to the mountains. They parked their car in a small car park. “We must take the cable car,” said her dad. “It’s the fastest way to reach the top.”
They waited in line. While they were on board, the cable car slowly moved up. Maria looked outside. The town below looked very small. She could see a lot of trees and a river. “Wow, the beauty of nature!” she thought.
At the top, there was a big square. Many climbers were preparing to go higher. Maria’s dad checked the map. “We should find a good place to go camping,” he said. “We don’t want to get lost.”
Later, they found a perfect spot. They didn’t have to walk much further. Maria’s dad made a fire. They ate their dinner and talked happily. They always remembered to keep the area clean. Maria took a deep breath of fresh air. It was a cool night close to nature away from the noise of the city.
