So I began a new trip. Unluckily again, my ship wrecked(遇难).In Brazil, I bought a small manor(庄园 ) and became a manor owner.After 10 days’ escape (逃亡 ), I was saved and taken to Brazil.I tried my best to get the pirates’ (海盗) trust. In the end, I escaped (逃跑 ) successfully with another slave (奴隶 ).Unluckily, I met the pirates (海盗 ) on my way. I fighted with my gun but failed. Finally, I became a slave (奴隶 ).Through the trip, I made lots of money. I love adventures(冒险 ). Soon, I began my second tour towards Africa.One day, I met a captain (船长) and he invited me to go to Africa with him.My father wanted me to live a normal life. However, I was strongly interested in the sea and dreamed to travel around the world by ship.I was born in the year 1632, in the city of York, of a good family.

had nothing. But I’ve found the ship

and birds for food. I’m even
learning to grow fruit and vegetables.A few weeks ago, I found the marks
of another man’s feet on the sand.

have they been here? Not long after
that, I saw some cannibals trying to
kill two men from a broken ship. One
of them died but the other ran
towards my house. I helped him kill
the cannibals. This man now lives
with me and helps me. I named him
Friday because that was the day I
met him. He is smart and I have
already taught him some English.3aRead and answer the questions.What does Robinson Crusoe wait for?
