Your challenge last week was to underline each letter ‘O’ that is pronounced as an ‘uh’ sound. For example, Monday is actually pronounced ‘Muhnday’. Did you find them all? Here are the answers:
“One day, in fact it was a Monday, I decided to go to London. I asked my company for three days off and they said yes, as long as Project ‘Compass’ was all done. I had actually finished it last month! So I packed my bags and made sure I had enough money (some sterling, not Euros) and went to the Eurostar terminal. It was very cold, so I bought some gloves. It was not like some time ago in May when I took a dozen days off and went with my son. That time, we went to see my brother and mother, and London was like an oven!
On the train, I bought a cheese and onion sandwich with some lovely honey and carrot cake. I loved the cake, but the sandwich has now become my least favourite. I will not buy another one again. Then I looked out the window and saw six doves above the train, among the trees. A somewhat unusual and wonderful sight! After that I read the newspaper. There was an article about someone who ate one thousand onions in a month! I worry how he did it and wondered if his stomach hurt. There was also a story about the UK government, and one where I discovered that some monkeys have blue tongues**! But none of them have green ones.
When I got to London, I walked to the front of the train, and somebody spoke to me. She told me that I had won a prize, which was to come back to London next month and travel to Somerset, or otherwise somewhere else. I was so overcome with joy, I did a somersault!”
How many did you get? Were there any surprises? Feel to write in the comments section below!
