2. PET (B1) Reading: "The Young Photographer" (Part 3 Style)

Objetivo: Identificar actitud, opinión y detalle.

Last year, 12-year-old David won a national photography competition. We spoke to him about his experience.

"I started taking photos when I was eight," says David. "My grandfather gave me his old camera. At first, I only took pictures of my cat, but then I started going to the mountains. I prefer taking photos of nature although it is more difficult than taking photos of people. You have to wait for hours to see a bird or a rabbit."

David’s winning photo was of a storm. "Suddenly, the sky turned dark and it started to rain. I was frightened, but I stayed outside to get the perfect shot. However, my mum was a bit worried and called me to come inside immediately."

Now, David wants to travel to Africa. He believes that seeing wild animals will be a challenging but wonderful experience. He is saving money from his birthday to buy a new lens.

Questions:

1. How did David get his first camera? A) He bought it with his savings. | B) It was a gift from a relative. | C) He won it in a competition.

2. What does David say about photographing nature? A) It requires a lot of patience. | B) It is easier than photographing people. | C) It is his least favorite hobby.

3. During the storm, David felt... A) Calm and relaxed. | B) A bit scared but determined. | C) Annoyed by his mother.

4. Why is David saving money? A) To travel to Africa. | B) To help his grandfather. | C) To improve his photography equipment.
