Reading Test

My name is Misti Baker. When I was a child, my family lived in the country. We had a cow who gave us milk, a dog who helped my grandfather to hunt and a cat who caught mice. I helped my granny to water flowers and pick fruit in our garden. In summer I went to the woods to gather mushrooms and berries. When the weather was sunny and hot, I and my friends went to the lake to swim. We didn’t have a TV, and we never visited any cinema or museum. But now everything is different. Now I live in town, I really don’t like it. I have no pets at home. I think my life is not so interesting any more. I hope to see my grandparents on holidays.
