ANSWERS

1.

Omar and Ahmed like adventures very much. They like exciting experiences in which dangerous things happen. Last summer, they decided to go to an island and stay for a week. They think it's great to stay on a piece of land completely surrounded by water. They spent a long time preparing for this trip. They took a first-aid box to use in case someone was hurt. For cooking, they took a cooking pot. Their friend Raouf is a designer, so he designed a tent for them to protect them from the heat of the sun. Moreover, he suggested taking a mirror which they could use to signal to ships.

They took a boat from the mainland to the island. They liked the view so much that Omar, who is an artist, decided to draw it. One day, very early in the morning, Omar went fishing on the other side of the island. When Ahmed woke up and didn't find his friend, he was alone and felt quite lonely. Later Omar came with the fish he had caught, so they cooked it and ate it for breakfast.
