A2 English Reading – Short Story & Vocabulary Quiz
It was Sunday morning. Anna was the first member of the family to get out of bed. She couldn’t wait to make breakfast! Her dad always said Sunday was for a special meal. She was going to make an omelet and chips.
First, she peeled the potatoes. Then she chopped them carefully. She put some olive oil in a pan. She didn’t have to use the big oven. Her brother, Tom, finally came downstairs. “What are you preparing?” he asked.
“Breakfast! You must help,” Anna said. Tom mixed the eggs while Anna sliced the tomatoes. Their mom was still sleeping. They did everything quietly. They were agreeing nicely today, not fighting.
After the delicious meal, Anna put the plates in the dishwasher. Tom dusts the living room from time to time, but today he just went to find his phone charger. “You should clean up more,” Anna said. Tom just smiled. “No way,” he said, and went back to sleep. Anna got angry with her brother, but her mum was now there to help her out.
