The following text is for number 1-5. Barbecue in the park

Last Sunday, my friend and I went to the park because David’s family invited us a barbecue party in the

there early to get the best picnic spot with an electronic barbecue grill nearby. When we arrived, they
were cleaning the barbecue. After making sure the barbecue was clean, they turned the barbecue on by
pushing the button. The electric stove turned on and the metal plate became hot.
David’s mother put some cooking oil on the metal plate, and after that she put some sausages, beef steaks,
and some onions on the barbecue. Meanwhile, David’s father was preparing the bread, butter and the
drinks.

Tessie

We were moving house and dad asked me to help him sort out all the boxes in the storeroom. I hadn’t
been in the storeroom for aged and wondered what we would find. One wall was line with shelves,
stacked with boxes almost to the ceiling there where many other wrapped up objects of different shafts
and sizes. Dad opened the boxes and rummage through them. I moved over to a wooden box and was just
about to lift the lid when it toppled over. Everything fell out into a heap.
Be careful!’ shouted dad, There may be something fragile in there

Then I saw it! My heart began to pound and many knees began to shake. It was a rubber ring. It had
belonged to my beloved dog. Tessie. She died two years ago.
I was only four when we got Tessie. I chose her from among other puppies. She was my best friend.
Although she had a basket in the kitchen she would creep up to my room at night and sleep in the bottom
of the bed. If I was cold she would snuggle up next to me.

Tessie could do anything. She could beg and sit and shake a paw. I taught her to fetch things. One
Christmas, I bought her rubber ring. I wrapped it up in shiny paper and place it under Christmas tree. She
played with it every day. Tessie would wait at the front door went she knew it was time for me to come
home from school. She would howl the painting with the rubber ring in front of her. If didn’t play, she
would howl and wouldn’t stop until did. In the weekend we would take the ring to the playground and
play four hours and hours until neither of us could run anymore.

Then one day Tessie fell ill. She didn’t wait for me by the front door anymore and she didn’t want to play
with the ring. I tried to encourage her, “Come on, Tessie. Come and play.”
Seemed out of breath she couldn’t walk very well and she wasn’t eating properly. Mum and I took her to
the vet.

The vet shook her head and told us that Tessie was really sick.

There, nothing they can do for her, ‘mum whispered to me.

I went to the room where Tessie was waiting and said my goodbyes I felt her warm fur for the last time on
my face

and then I ran outside and cried….. “What’s the matter, son?” asked Dad.
He put an arm around my shoulder. We all miss her, ‘said Dad sadly, ‘She was a good dog, a really good
dog. I nodded and put the ring hack in the box.
