Question

Mr. Brown was in school for only one year when he was young and later on he was made to help his father to work in the fields. There wasn’t e 1. rain for several years and though there was a river nearby, the water was polluted. The farmers dared not w 2. their corn with the polluted water. So they had several poor harvests. They had l 3. food and sometimes they were hungry. One year his parents died of hunger and there was no one to care for him. He had to go to find work in the town and he learned to drive a truck in a factory.

Coming from a village made him strong and ready to help others. He met a girl who loved him, so they got married. His wife works in a shop and his children study in a school. He tries his best to s 4. everything even if a pound, and hardly eats in a restaurant. He’s good at c 5. and always takes some food he has made at home with him when he goes to work in the morning.

It was Sam’s eighth birthday yesterday. The boy hoped to have dinner in a restaurant. At first, Mr. Brown wouldn’t agree. Then he thought his son had never had anything in restaurants before, so he decided to give in. The boy was very happy and the Browns went to a restaurant for the

f 6. time. When they finished their dinner, Mr. Brown said to the waiter, “My son has some meat l 7. on his plate. Could you give me a bag so that I can take it home for the dog?” “Oh, Dad!” the boy called out. “We haven’t got a dog at all!”
