Extract from Gulliver’s Travels: We sailed across the Atlantic, round the coast of Africa and into the Indian Ocean. But before we could reach the Pacific, a violent storm hit us and drove us to the north-west of Tasmania. 1 ____ Some of the sailors and I managed to get a boat into the water, and we rowed away to look for land. But when we were too tired to row any more, a great wave hit our small boat, and we all fell into the sea. 2 ____ The wind and waves pushed me along as I struggled to keep my head above water. 3 ____ Luckily, just then my feet touched the ground. I walked out of the sea and on to a beach, where there was no sign of any people or houses. I was so exhausted that I lay down and went to sleep. When I woke up next morning, and tried to get up, I could not move. I was lying on my back and my whole body, my arms and legs were strongly fastened to the ground. 4 ____ The sun began to grow hot, and I was very uncomfortable. Soon I felt something alive moving along my leg and up my body to my face, and when I looked down I saw a very small human being, only fifteen centimetres tall. He had a bow and arrow in his hands, and there were forty more of these little men following him. 5 ____ They all jumped back, very frightened, and some hurt themselves by falling off my body. Meanwhile, I was struggling to unfasten myself, but just as I managed to pull my left arm free of the ropes, I felt a hundred arrows land on my free hand, and more arrows on my face and body. This was very painful, and made me cry aloud. I lay quietly, to see what would happen next. 6 ____ An official climbed up there to speak to me. Although I could not understand his language, I understood that they would be friendly towards me – if I did not try to harm them. By now I was extremely hungry, so I used sign language to beg the official for food. He seemed to understand me, because immediately ladders were put against my sides and little men climbed up with baskets of food and drink. 7 ____ In just one mouthful I ate three of their meat dishes and three of their loaves of bread. A I do not know what happened to my companions, but I suppose they were all drowned. B When they saw I was no longer struggling, they quickly built a platform next to my head. C I became very tired and soon felt I could not swim any more. D Even my hair, which was long and thick, was tied to the ground. E I was so surprised that I gave a great shout. F The sky was cloudless blue and the sea was very calm. G They were surprised at how much I could eat and drink. H The wind drove our ship on to a rock, which broke the ship in half.
