Direction: Read the short dialogue then answer the questions being asked.
There is a beautiful park near my house. It is a big park with lots of green grass and tall trees. I love going there because it's a great place to have fun and relax. There is a playground with colorful swings, slides, and a big sandbox. It's my favorite spot in the park. I like swinging high up in the air and sliding down the slides with my friends.
There is also a large open field where we can run, play soccer, or have a picnic. It's always lively and filled with laughter and excitement. Sometimes, we bring a frisbee and throw it back and forth. It's so much fun trying to catch it!
There is a small pond in the park with ducks swimming in it. I love watching them glide gracefully on the water. Sometimes, I bring pieces of bread to feed them, and they come waddling over, quacking happily.
There is a path that goes all around the park, perfect for walking or riding bikes. My family often takes our bikes there on weekends. We pedal along the path, enjoying the fresh air and beautiful scenery. It's a great way to stay active and explore nature.
