B1 English Reading – Short Story & Grammar Quiz
Leo loved collecting old things. He used to spend his childhood living in a small cottage in the countryside, which allowed him to explore a lot. One sunny afternoon, while digging in his garden, he found a strange, colored coin. It was unlike any he had ever seen. He wanted to discover its history.
He tried to find a clue about the coin’s origin. He asked his grandfather, who was a retired historian, to help him. His grandfather advised him to look for a specific mark on the coin. Leo began to feel a little confused because the mark was quite complex. He decided to visit a local expert, Mr. Davies, at the antique shop. Mr. Davies claimed that it was an ancient piece. He suggested checking a very old, thick book. “You will need to concentrate to find the information,” he said.
Leo spent hours reading the book. He learned to focus his mind. He began to feel more confident about his discovery. He planned to contact a museum to confirm his findings. He hoped to conclude his research soon. Leo realized that finding clues could be just as exciting as having the treasure itself. He was looking forward to seeing the coin’s true history.
