Extreme holidays by Brenda Pill
Last winter, my parents, my brother and I (a) did / spent our holidays in Scotland. My dad loves skiing and
wanted to ski down the mountain several times, so once we1 went up to the top with him. Mum and Luke,
my brother, (b) are staying / stayed at a small café and as they2 were really cold, they asked for hot chocolate
and cakes.
Dad invited me to have a try and I (c) was agreeing / agreed. We3 went to the cabin to put on our skiing
equipment. While we were waiting for the instructor to call us, we (d) heard / had the sound of a siren. What
was it? We didn’t have time to think twice. A severe blizzard started. The wind started (e) blowing / blow and
the thick snow made it impossible to see well. Dad and I couldn’t see the café – it was 15 metres from the
cabin. Many people were screaming. Dad tried to contact Mum but her mobile phone (f) was working /
was not working.
A few hours later, the storm stopped and we got out of the cabin as soon as we could. Some people were
digging the snow out of the café entrance, so we (g) were running / ran to meet Mum and Luke. It was funny!
They were still (h) eating / ate some delicious cake and having their hot chocolate. They4 were not afraid
at all!
