SAMPLES OF THE TEST 1
Last Sunday, my friend and I went to park because Arman’s family invited us to a barbeque party in the park. We lived nearby so we just walked there.
When we got to the park, there were not many people. There were only Arman’s and some other people. They arrived early to get the best picnic spot with an electrical barbeque grill nearby. When we arrived, they were cleaning the barbeque device. After making sure the barbeque device was clean, they turned on and the metal plate became hot.
Arman’s mother put some cooking oil on the metal plate, and after that she put some sausages, beef steaks, and some onions on the barbeque. Meanwhile Arman’s father was preparing the bread, butter, and drinks.
While waiting for the meat to cook, Arman and I joined other boys playing football. When we got tired, we stopped and enjoyed the sausages, steaks, and some cold soft drinks.
The food was delicious. I think Arman’s mother could be the one of the best chef in the world.
