Clarkson is a large town. It has more than fifty thousand people living there. It sits next to a
large river, the Clark River. Every day, people take the ferry from North Clarkson to South Clarkson to
go to work.

Most people live in North Clarkson. There are many trees and the streets are very broad. When the
sun shines and the children run and play in the safe streets, North Clarkson is a wonderful place to live.

South Clarkson has a lot of shops and factories. People don't live there, but they come in the
morning to work. There is also a big stadium where the Clarkson Tigers play. On Sundays, many
people go to watch their favorite team.

At the weekend, the people from Clarkson enjoy walking along the bank of the Clark River. They
also sail small boats on the water and if there is a little wind, they fly kites in the large park.

Every year, Clarkson grows in size because a lot of people come to live there. The government
builds more houses and the streets get busier. Maybe in the future, if the town continues to grow, it will
become a city!

Essay
Yesterday, I went with my family for a picnic at the beach. We took lots of food, because we're all
greedy! First of all, we packed some chocolate to eat in the car on the way to the beach. For the first course, we
took some soup and a loaf of bread. For the main course, we decided on some chicken salad sandwich for each
person, along with some rice. Finally, we packed a melon big enough for everyone to get a slice. Of course, we
also took some tea and some coffee, and a litre of ice-cream. There is also some French fries. It seemed like a
huge quantity of food, but unfortunately we ate it all in the car! By the time we got to the beach, there was
nothing left.

1. Where did the writer go?

2. What did they prepare to eat in the car?
3. What did they prepare for main course?
4. What drinks did they prepare?
5. Why there wasn’t food left?
