A2 Reading Comprehension Worksheet: Childhood Memories in English – Engaging ESL Worksheet

-

A. Read the text

EMILY, USA When I was a little girl, I lived in a small village in Texas. We lived on a farm with lots of animals. It was very relaxing and quiet. You could hear the birds singing in the morning. It was great during the week because I was with my friends at school and we had lots of after-school activities. But there wasn’t much to do at the weekend when I was at home. My school friends and I couldn’t meet because there were no buses. I could only watch TV. It was so boring. Now that I’m older, my parents moved to New York City. It’s easier now to be with my friends because I can take the bus or the underground to everywhere I want to go. My favourite place is the shopping centres. I always hang out with my friends there.

LUKAS, GERMANY I live in a big city in Germany, and it’s quite exciting! There are lots of things to do. My parents bought a flat near a park where I can ride my bike or go skateboarding. My brother is older than me, so I also go to the cinema with him. The city library is a great place too. I usually meet my friends there, and we do our school projects or study together. Of course, living in a big city is not easy. City life can be fast, tiring, and stressful. The streets are always crowded and noisy. Because of the cars, the air is polluted sometimes. People are so busy that they rarely have time for their neighbours or friends. But I can’t see myself moving to the countryside. I just love living in the city too much.

What did Emily do at the weekends in the country? ________________________________________________________________________________. Why is the city such an interesting place for Lukas? ________________________________________________________________________________.
