TASK 6. Cherry Reid is a famous explorer. Below you can read part of a diary she kept when she was travelling. Open the brackets and fill in the gaps in her diary.
Dec 11. I have walked a long way, and my feet are tired. As I sit here, resting, I realize there just aren't enough pages in my diary to describe this lovely place!
On the hills, some men from the nearby village are driving their sheep home. In the valley, they are ploughing with oxen and there are also some people on the river bank, catching fish with spears. Oh! One of them has just caught two fish with one spear!
The women of the village are colourfully dressed, with red and blue kerchiefs covering their hair. They farm small plots of land where they grow potatoes and tomatoes. They carry their babies on their backs all the time they are working. Geese stand outside the wooden houses and warn the women of approaching strangers. Outside the houses the children are picking fruit from different fruit-trees. They look healthy, with perfect teeth. Some of the boys are carving toys with sharp knives.
Life is very simple here. I have seen no radios and the people do not even use matches to light their fires. Several people were very surprised when I showed them their photos that I made with my Polaroid.
