Part 4
Reading comprehension
Read the article and answer questions.
Teacher helps student correct their pronunciation.
This weekend was my friend’s anniversary, and they hosted a big outdoor party. It was in the countryside, quite far from the city. I decided to ride my motorcycle there because the fare for the bus seemed high, and I didn’t want to deal with the subway during rush hour. Plus, it was thrilling to ride through the open roads.
Everyone was asked to bring something for the potluck. I made a fruit salad because it’s easy and usually a hit. The party was terrific! We played games, had a dance contest, and laughed a lot. It was exhausting, but in the best way.
In the evening, we planned to continue the celebration at a restaurant downtown. However, a traffic jam meant we couldn’t get there. Instead, we ate at a small vegetarian place nearby. I was starving and a bit unsure at first since I’m not vegetarian, but the food was delicious! It was a nice change.

Transcript
Hey everyone, it's Emma here! So, for this weekend, we've got something special planned. Saturday morning, we're all heading to Pine Lake Park. It's a bit of a journey from downtown, but don't worry, the bus fare is cheap, and it's not too uncomfortable even if it's a bit crowded during rush hour.
Once we get there, we've lined up a bunch of fun outdoor activities. There's going to be a mini sports contest with prizes and a treasure hunt around the lake. I'm sure we'll all be exhausted after a day in the sun but in a good way!
After we've had our fill of fun, we're going to head back into the city for dinner. We have a reservation at 'The Veggie Delight Restaurant' – it's that new vegetarian place that's just opened up downtown. I know a few of you are hardcore meat-lovers, but I've heard the flavors are out of this world, and it's a great chance for a change. Plus, it's super convenient from the bus stop.
We should be back in the city by 7 PM, just in time for our reservation. The restaurant is right in the heart of downtown, so if we do hit traffic, we can always leave the bus and walk the rest of the way. It's going to be a terrific day!
