Unit 1 What have I learnt? Can Do Skills
1 Read the story. Complete the story plan.
Dara and her brother Bruce lived near Craggy Mountain, but had never climbed to the summit. Their father promised to take them one day. They grew impatient waiting and set out on their own without telling anyone. About half way up, they were startled by a large flock of birds flying noisily overhead. Bruce slipped and twisted his ankle. He was in a lot of pain. Dara wanted to get help, but did not like to leave Bruce on his own. Luckily, they were found by a group of climbers. One of them lifted Bruce onto his shoulders and carried him home. The children’s mother was relieved and thanked the climbers for their kindness.
