Robbie's grandfather.
My grandfather lives in the North of England. He is nearly 60, but he is strong and he
still works. He is a Maths teacher. My grandfather is very kind and his pupils like him a lot.
They say he is an excellent teacher and they are never tired in his class. He never forgets
anything and explains his subject very well. He always speaks in a friendly voice and so they
enjoy his lessons.
My grandad lives in the country and every morning, five days a week, gets the bus to
school. He doesn’t have to change as the bus takes him right to the school. It’s a through bus.
He gets off the bus at half past 8 or there about.
My grandad likes to do many things, but he likes travelling most of all. He often goes to
different cities (perhaps once or twice a month) and sometimes he goes to other countries
too. He travels by sea, by train or flies. He likes voyages very much and often takes pictures on
board the ship. He likes the sea and the wind.
Last month he travelled to Scotland. It was not a lucky trip. He nearly missed his train
because he arrived late at the railway station. On the train somebody stole his favourite silver
box in which he kept his tobacco. There was no bus or taxi to take him to the hotel where he
wanted to stay and so he had to go on foot. When he arrived at the hotel he was tired and went
upstairs. However his luggage was not there. So grandad went downstairs again, but couldn’t
find it. When he did, it was midnight and the lift did not work. So he was very unhappy that
night and slept badly.
However in the morning the sun began to shine again and life seemed brighter.
“There is nothing like travelling,” my grandad says. “You’ll always enjoy it. Only look on
the bright side.” |
