My young cousin, Ben, started school last year. There were fifteen children in his class. In the first lesson the teacher read a story. Then the children looked at some pictures and wrote the alphabet. After the lesson the children went into the playground. They wore their coats because it was cold. My cousin thought it was home time. He walked out of the playground and looked for his mum. My aunt wasn’t there, so he sat on the grass and waited for a bus. Luckily he didn’t have any money and the bus driver took him back to school. That evening his parents asked him, “Did you leave the playground this morning?” “Yes, I did. How do you know?” “Your teacher phoned us!”

Перевод: Мой младший двоюродный брат Бен пошёл в школу в прошлом году. В его классе было пятнадцать детей. На первом уроке учитель прочитал рассказ. Затем дети посмотрели на картинки и написали алфавит. После урока дети пошли на игровую площадку. Они надели пальто, потому что было холодно. Мой двоюродный брат подумал, что пора домой. Он вышел с игровой площадки и стал искать маму. Моей тёти там не было, поэтому он сел на траву и стал ждать автобус. К счастью, у него не было денег, и водитель автобуса отвёз его обратно в школу. Тем вечером родители спросили его: «Ты сегодня утром ушёл с игровой площадки?» — «Да. Откуда вы знаете?» — «Нам позвонил твой учитель!»
