GLOBAL TEST comprehension semester 1

My name is Annie and this is what I normally do. I love to walk on the mountain. During the week I wake
up early and go for a small walk on the mountain . I usually go with my father or my brother. We like to get
some fresh air before we start our day . we live in the country far away from the city. We think that our
country life is wonderful because we are away from the noise and pollution of the city. We often walk for
about one-half hour and then return to our home. I always take my bus after our walk and at about 8:30 a.m
and arrive at school at 9:00 a.m. My father takes his car and goes to town to work. He works at veterinary
clinic. He is a vet and loves to help animals. We have 3 dogs and two cats.
On the week end we wake up early and go for a hike on the mountain. It is so nice to smell the fresh air
