3. John Smith’s adventure
Without telling my father, I decided to take his boat. It was a very bad idea because one hour later
there was a storm. I’ve never seen so much thunder and lighting. When my parents arrived I was
watching TV. The boat filled up with water and it sank. I don’t know exactly what happened because I
fainted. When I woke up I was in an Island. There was no one there, it was deserted. The problem is
that I was cold and hungry. While I was looking for something to eat and drink, I saw a lot of branches. I
decided to make a fire. Since I was a boy scout it was not difficult for me. As soon as I built the fire, a
passing ship saw it and rescued me. John Smith, USA

between parents and children.
Parents, sometimes, have no time to talk with their
children and boys and girls begin to move away from
their parents. There are, of course, different remedies for
this situation. For example: parents must talk frankly
to their children and try to understand their problems.
