Suggested Answer Key
A Lucky Escape
One wintry day last December, my best friend Pete went out for a country walk with his parents. They chose Pete’s favourite walk, a narrow path along some cliffs with a wonderful view of the sea. It was a windy day and they were looking down at the rocky coastline and the rough sea below.
They were walking along calmly, enjoying the scenery when suddenly, a gust of wind blew Pete’s hat off his head. Pete reached out to grab it. Then, disaster struck! He leaned too far forward, lost his balance and fell towards the rocks. His parents froze in horror, unable to do anything to save him.
Pete didn’t fall onto the rocks, but into the sea, where he fought against some big waves to keep his head above water. “Call an ambulance!” yelled Pete’s father frantically as his mother struggled to find her mobile phone. Luckily, Pete was a strong swimmer and he managed to swim to a rock and drag himself out of the water. Meanwhile, the emergency services were hurrying to the scene. They arrived a few minutes later and took Pete straight to hospital, where he was treated for shock.
Later that day, everyone was enormously relieved to learn that Pete wasn’t injured. As for Pete, he decided never to walk along the cliffs again.
