Tim, the hero | LEVEL 08



It is Monday. Tim and his friends are walking to school. As usual, they play, they tell each other jokes. They have fun and they laugh a lot.

On the way to school, there is a house with a big garden.  They walk past the house gate every day.

One day, while they were walking, Tim stopped suddenly. He had heard a terrifying growl behind him.

He turned white. He was as white as paper. He turned around very slowly. He saw a huge and terrifying dog. He and his friends started running without looking back. 

On the next street corner, Tim's friends stopped. Tim didn't. He kept on running until he arrived at school. His friends couldn't stop laughing. "Tim might have peed down his trousers." One of them said. 

At school, everybody heard about the story. Everybody started laughing too. Tim became a joke.  Poor Tim.

After this day they never took the same street again. They took a detour. It was more time walking. But they did it to avoid seeing the dog again.

RUDE QUESTIONS | C2 LEVEL TEXT EXAMPLE

Why is it rude and socially unacceptable to ask certain questions? The Independent  -  Christine Manby Picture the scene. You’re at a party. You know no one but the host and they’ve had to rush to the kitchen to rescue some smoking vol-au-vents from the oven. You spot a friendly looking fellow guest, also on their own, and sidle over to make their acquaintance by the buffet table. You swap names. You compare notes on your respective journeys to the venue. You talk about the weather. Hasn’t it been strange this year? So far so good. Now what? The host passes by with those vol-au-vents. You grab one and shove it in your mouth. And before you’ve entirely finished eating it you come out with the line , “So, what do you do?” If this were the 1970s, the needle would skitter across the vinyl on the record player, bringing the music to an abrupt and ugly end.
