　　Many years ago when the summers seemed longer and life was less complicated, we had rented a cottage 1 a river in the heart of the country 2 the whole family was going to 3 a three-week holiday. There were four of us: me, Mum, and Dad, and Mum’s sister, Auntie June. Oh, and I mustn’t forget to 4 Spot, out little dog. I was 5 to go off by myself all day, 6 I promised to be careful and took Spot with me for 7 .

　　One day I was out fishing with Spot when we heard a lot of shouting in the 8 followed by a scream and splash. I was a bit 9 so I called Spot and we both hid 10 a bush where we could see but not be 11 . After a few moments, a straw hat came drifting down the river, followed by an oar, a panic basket and 12 oar. Then came the rowing boat itself, but it was 13 upside down! A few second seconds later my Dad and Auntie June came running 14 the river bank, both wet 15 . Spot started barking so I came out of hiding and said hello. My Dad got really angry 16 for me not trying to catch the boat as it went past. Luckily, 17 , the boat and both the oars had been caught by an overhanging tree a little further downstream, but not the hat or picnic basket. So I had to let them 18 my sandwiches. Dad and Auntie June both made me 19 not to tell Mum what had happened 20 she would be worried. (2005.9 Use of English)
