Today we are going to read an extract from ALICE'S
ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND by Lewis Carroll. One of the most enjoyed pieces of
kid’s literature! Enjoy!!!(Good practice for Past Simple and Past
Continuous.))))
Alice was beginning to get very
tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do: once
or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no
pictures or conversations in it, 'and what is the use of a book,' thought Alice
'without pictures or conversations?'
So she was considering in her own
mind (as well as she could, for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and
stupid), whether the pleasure of making a daisy-chain would be worth the
trouble of getting up and picking the daisies, when suddenly a White Rabbit
with pink eyes ran close by her.
There was nothing so VERY remarkable
in that; nor did Alice think it so VERY much out of the way to hear the Rabbit
say to itself, 'Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be late!' (when she thought it over
afterwards, it occurred to her that she ought to have wondered at this, but at
the time it all seemed quite natural); but when the Rabbit actually TOOK A
WATCH OUT OF ITS WAISTCOAT-POCKET, and looked at it, and then hurried on, Alice
started to her feet, for it flashed across her mind that she had never before
seen a rabbit with either a waistcoat-pocket, or a watch to take out of it, and
burning with curiosity, she ran across the field after it, and fortunately was
just in time to see it pop down a large rabbit-hole under the hedge.
