Robbie’s Grandfather
My grandfather lives in the North of England. He is in his early sixties, but he is strong and he still works. He is a Maths teacher. My grandfather is very kind and his pupils like him a lot. They say he is an excellent teacher and they are never tired in his class. He never forgets anything and explains his subject very well. He always speaks in a friendly voice and so they enjoy his lessons.
My granddad lives in the country and every morning, five days a week, gets the bus to school. He doesn’t have to change as the bus takes him right to the school. It’s a through bus. He gets off the bus at half past 8 or there about.
My granddad likes to do many things, but he likes travelling most of all. He often goes to different cities (perhaps once or twice a month) and sometimes he goes to other countries too. He travels by sea, by train or flies. He likes voyages very much and often takes pictures on board the ship. He likes the sea and the wind.
Last month he travelled to Scotland. It was not a lucky trip.
He nearly missed his train because he arrived late to the railway station. In the train somebody stole his favourite silver box in which he kept his tobacco. There was no bus or taxi to take him to the hotel where he wanted to stay and so he had to go on foot. When he arrived at the hotel he was tired and went upstairs. However his luggage was not there. So granddad went downstairs again, but couldn’t find it. When he did, it was midnight and the lift did not work. So he was very unhappy that night and slept badly.
However in the morning the sun began to shine again and life seemed brighter.
“There is nothing like travelling”, my granddad says. “You’ll always enjoy it. Only look on the bright side”.
