play them. My favorite songs that I have learned are Led Zeppelin’s Stairway to Heaven and Leonard
Cohen’s Hallelujah. I can also play a bit SOng, Nirvana, Metallica and the Animals.

I. Read the passage and decide whether the statements are TRUE (T) or FALSE (F).
When I was young, I used to spend the summer on my grandparents’ farm. I loved those days, so
carefree and enjoyable. There were so many things to do and to sec that I was never bored. I would get
up at sunrise and go for a walk around a meadow. I had a dog and together we wandered while the rest of the world was sleeping.
In the morning my grandmother fed the chickens and other farm animals and my grandfather turned
out the ca[le. Then together we went to a field to reap the harvest. We usually worked in the field unOl
lunchOme but when it was too hot to work I picked currants, raspberries or fruit in the garden or went
for a walk to a nearby forest and looked for birds’ nests. Later in the aEernoon I would oEen go
swimming or fishing in the river. When I felt lazy, I just lay in the sun and watched the birds and animals
again and col ect chickens’ eggs. I even learned to milk the cows and I was very proud of myself. My
grandparents had a barn behind the house, and I used to spend the night there. I took my sleeping-bag
and a torch and slept in hay. That was an unforge[able experience. AEer such holidays I always returned
to town refreshed and healthy.
Now I do not spend the summer in the country any longer. My grandparents have grown old and they
