Anybody who is over the age of six knows that there is nowhere safe for skateboarders to skate.
This prevents young people from enjoying an active, energetic and adventurous pastime.
Just watch a local street for a short while and note the steady stream of skaters speeding up and
down the footpaths. Toddlers can be trampled on and old ladies can be knocked down as they
struggle home carrying their cat food from supermarkets.
Skateboarding is a serious sport that improves young peoples health. It increases fitness,
improves balance and strengthens the joints in knees and ankles. Although it appears to be a solo
sport, when groups practice together and compete to perform stunts or runs they form firm
friendships.
Young people should be prevented from becoming overweight couch potatoes. If they are
actively involved in skating, they do not smoke, take drugs or break laws for fun.
Kids will always seek thrills and excitement. They need to practice their 180s, 360s and Ollies
free from restrictions. We must build skate parks in the suburbs so that streets are safe for small
children and senior citizens and skaters have spaces where they can race, chase, speed, and soar
towards the sun.

Next, the two mice set off for the town and arrived at the Town Mouse's residence late at night.
"You will want some refreshment after our long journey," said the polite Town Mouse, and took
his friend into the grand dining-room. There they found the remains of food, and soon the two
mice were eating up jellies and cakes and all that was nice. Suddenly they heard growling and
barking. "What is that?" said the Country Mouse. "It is only the dogs of the house," answered the
other. "Only!" said the Country Mouse. "I do not like that music at my dinner." Just at that
moment the door flew open, in came two dogs, and the two mice had to run away. "Good-bye,
Cousin," said the Country Mouse, "What! Going so soon?" said the other. "Yes," he replied;
"Better beans and bacon in peace than cakes and beer in fear."

Text III
Early one morning, Umar was walking to the bus stop to catch a bus to school. A loud,
screeching noise suddenly pierced the air. Umar realized that there had been an accident. A small
boy was lying unconscious on the road, and the car that had hit him had already run away.
Umar was confused and frightened. is the boy dead? Umar asked himself. However,
the boy was still breathing. Umar could see that the boy had bruises all over his face and arms.
Umar did not know what to do. Few cars passed along this road at this time of the day.
The nearest house which he could go to for help was his own, but it would take ten minutes to
walk there. Umar finally decided to stay with the boy until somebody came by.
Time passed very slowly so it seemed to Umar. The boy was still unconscious, and
Umar prayed for the boy to regain consciousness.
Umar sprang to his feet at the sound of an approaching car. He waved frantically at the
driver to stop. Umar asked the driver, You will help this boy, wont you, Sir? The driver was
kind. He carried the injured boy to the car. Umar went with them to the hospital. Later, the driver
took Umar to the police station to report the accident.
Umar had a lot to tell to his friends that day at school. All his friends though Umar was a
very brave boy. it was an unforgettable incident, wasnt it? They asked him.
Yes, it was, Umar replied. it was a terrifying experience, thought!
