UNIT 1 EVENTS IN THE PAST Reading Comprehension “Life Changes” Elaboración: L.E.L.I. Karim Juárez Cortés

My Childhood Not many years ago. I lived in a small town with my family. It was so wonderful to be close to the nature. In my childhood I used to spend my free time paying hide and seek with my friends, also I used to play with my spinning top. At nights my mother used to read us fairly tales to my sister and I. On weekends my parents used to take us to the park and we used to ride our bicycles together, my sister and I didn’t use to eat junk food, because my mother worried about our diet, so we were healthy kids.

My Childhood When I started the university my family and I moved to the city. And Now I spend my free time with my friends in the discotheques or doing some kind of exercise in the gym.

“How my life has changed” Now that I am teenager, my life is very different. We used to live in a small town and when I was a child, I used to go to the playground after school, but now I come home and do my homework. On weekends, I used to sleep late and then play with my friends. Now I get up early and help my mother and in the afternoon I go to the mall with my friends. I used to watch cartoons, especially,Mickey Mouse and children’s programs on TV. But now I like to watch movies and new programs. I didn’t use to listen to music, but now I listen to it all the time – especially pop music and English music from the sixties.
