$GRAMMAR Reading: Coffee, Basketball, and a New Dog — Paragraph 1
ID: l2-s16-r-p1
READING
INTRO: Three short paragraphs to read — about coffee, basketball, and a boy's new dog. Read them at your own pace; the questions come next.
INTRO: Three short paragraphs to read — about coffee, basketball, and a boy's new dog. Read each one at your own pace; its questions come right after it.
CARD: **Paragraph 1.** The word "coffee" may come from an Arabic word. Today people all over the world enjoy coffee. They drink hot coffee and cold coffee. They drink it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They also drink it in between meals. There are many different kinds of coffee. They all smell and taste delicious. A lot of people meet friends at restaurants or snack bars to drink coffee and talk. In some countries there are small snack bars that serve only coffee and desserts.
CARD: **Paragraph 2.** Basketball is a sport that many boys and girls, and also men and women enjoy. It is not a very old game. Students in the state of Massachusetts played the first game in December 1891. John Naismith wrote the rules for the game. He wanted his students to have a fast, interesting game to play inside in the cold, winter months. The first teams had nine people. Then the number changed to five in the winter of 1897. The game today is almost the same as it was almost a hundred years ago.
CARD: **Paragraph 3.** Today is a clear, cold October day. We are all outside working in the yard. My little brother Paul is running around as usual. He's very excited because yesterday he got a terrific present. My parents gave him a dog for his birthday. He likes all animals, but most of all he likes dogs. We had a dog when we lived in Florida. His name was Zero. He was a good, quiet, old dog. Zero didn't like to do anything but eat and sleep. When we moved here, we had to give him away. The new dog's name is Sam. He is a nice little, black and white dog. He likes to play and run around. Paul says he is going to teach him to do things. I hope he can.
