Reading Comprehension: My Best Friend’s Visit
Read the passage below and then complete all the tasks below: I was very happy today. It was the first day of the mid term holiday and my friend Hanna was coming to Middlesbrough to visit me. She was coming by train from Birmingham and was going to arrive at about eleven o’clock at the train station. I woke very early this morning to go to the gym and I was home at seven o’clock in time to have breakfast with my mother. As I had lots of things to do before Hanna arrived. I first decided to walk to the bus stop to catch a bus to town. I needed to go to the post office to post a few letters and then I had to go to the bank to get some money to spend while Hanna was with me. Our fridge was empty, so I had to go to the supermarket to buy food for breakfast and snacks to eat when we were home in the evenings. Mum wanted me to take some books back to the library which was next to the cinema. I thought while I was so near, it would be a good idea to book two seats to watch a good horror movie that evening. Time was passing quickly and it was nearly eleven o’clock. I rushed to the train station, where I found Hanna’s train had just arrived. It was so good to see her again. After lots of hugs, we both walked to a nearby café and drank coffee and talked for nearly two hours. Hanna wanted to go to the shops before going to the cinema because she forgot to pack her pyjamas and tooth brush. Answer the following in full sentences: 1.
