Listen to the text.

When I was a child I dreamt of having an exceptional hobby. First I caught butterflies in the
meadows nearby. I drew their pictures and stuck them on the walls around the house. After a
few months I found a hen in the field so I kept it. I fed it regularly but our dog bit her badly
and she died. In summer I grew some herbs on the window sill. They smelt wonderful but
then my mother threw them away.

Last weekend I hid from the whole world high in the mountains. When the sun rose early in

Several tiny villages lay far down in the distance, and the dark blue streams shone brightly in

Listen to the text.

Although Peter swore to prepare for his final examinations, he learnt hardly  anything before
the tests. Football stole almost all his time and when the teacher laid the tests on the tables, he
understood his difficult situation. His mother taught him never to give up. However, no matter
how hard he tried, it was hopeless and finally he tore up the examination papers and left. His
parents  always  forgave  him  small  slips  but  not  this  time.  They  cut  his  pocket  money  and
forbade him to play football until he had better results.
