VII. Read the text carefully, then choose the correct answers.
Last March I lost my camera while I was on a school trip to a Portsmouth. I
left it on the bus on our way back to our school. I called the bus company the day
after to check if they could find it, but of course it wasn’t there. My parents got
really angry and told me they couldn’t buy me a new one.
I knew my parents were right, so I decided I would get a new one by myself. I
started thinking of ways to earn and save money. My parents give me £8 every
week, so the first thing I did was using a drawer in my bedroom to store pocket
money.
I also offered to help my uncle Alan. He’s often away for work, but he can’t
take his dog with him. I started to look after his dog when he wasn’t at home. After
some time, my uncle’s neighbours saw me. They asked me if I could help with
their cats, dogs and rabbits, too. So, I started working for three families living
across the street.
In less than three months I had enough money to buy a camera. It was the
same as the one I had lost but to me it was much better. I paid for it with what I
earned and it felt very different. This experience taught me what it means to work
hard and I learnt that you must be careful with the things you have because they
take a lot of hard work.
