A Picnic by the Lake

Read the following text.
Sunlight on a peaceful lake.

Today, the sun is shining, and the Ali family are going to the lake. They take a bus because they do not have a car. Mum carries the food, and Dad carries a blanket. Their children, Hana and Yusuf, bring a ball.

At the lake, they find a quiet place under a tree. They eat cheese sandwiches and tomatoes. After lunch, the children play with the ball while their parents talk. The water is cold, so nobody swims. Before they leave, they put all their rubbish in a bag. They want to keep this lovely place clean for other families.

Choose the correct answer to each question.
1 How do the family get to the lake?
2 Who carries the blanket?
3 What do the family eat?
4 What do the children do after lunch?
5 Why does nobody swim?
