Cloze Exercise

As I was walking along the dusty banks of the River Nile, I saw the great pyramids of Egypt.

I walked beside them and thought how the awsome pharaohs would feel that they were used as a tourist attraction and what they would think the pyramids would be in the future.
I leave the pyramids and find the Great Sphinx of Egypt.

Its body looked so magnificent while crouching like a lion.

No nose.

Napoleon blew it off and it has been the same flat, rough nose ever since.

No beard.

It dropped off and is now shown in a nearby museum.

The Cairo Museum.

I keep on walking.

I see the vast dusty plains of the desert and wish I had brought a scarf with me for the strong winds of the desert are too much for me.

A poem by Emily Bronte

"The winter wind is loud and wild,
Come close to me, my darling child;
Forsake thy books, and mateless play;
And, while the night is gathering gray,
We'll talk its pensive hours away;--

Benny and Jane

Benny was a little boy. He lived in South Australia. He didn't live with his mum because he was a foster child. He lived with a person named Jane. Jane wasn't the nicest foster mother you would know, because all she did was nag, nag, and... nag.

One day as Jane and Benny were getting ready to go to the launch pad Jane yelled at the top of her voice, ‘BENNY, HAVE YOU CLEANED YOUR ROOM LIKE I TOLD YOU TO?’
‘Yes I have,’ Benny replied in a small scared voice.

At half past two Benny and Jane went to the launch pad to see the spaceships, Benny was a boy who was interested in everything, even girly things. The count began,
"FIVE… FOUR… THREE… TWO…"but before anyone said anything more, Benny jumped into the spaceship. ‘NO!’ Jane yelled really loudly.

Benny had a blast in the spaceship, he was jumping around and pushing buttons, then Jane marched into the spaceship and yelled so loud that the people on the other side of the world could hear her. ‘GET OUT!’ and she pushed poor Benny out.
