Hi teachers,
According to only the blue part of this paragraph:
He came to a small town on a river, and found a food shop in a quiet street. He opened the door and went in. There were a lot of people in the shop, and he waited quietly behind them. People looked at him, and a man went out quickly. Alex wanted to run, but he was very hungry, so he waited. Then a woman with her young some came into the shop. The woman whispered to the boy, and the boy came up to Alex. ‘There are two policemen in the street,’ he said very quietly, ‘and they’re coming here.’
1. What did he reach and what did he come across? A small town on a river and a food shop.
2. Was the shop full of people? Yes, it was.
3. What took place after Alex went in the shop? People looked at him, and a man went out quickly.
Thanks in advance.
