After it got dark, my little brother Benny and I could only read and write by candlelight. We usually watch a movie together on Friday nights, but the TV doesn‘t work without electricity. Instead , we played video games for a while, but then our tablet ran out of battery. "What about tomorrow " we thought.
Activity 5: Time to retell:
Since there wasn’t any electricity, some things in the fridge quickly went bad. When we woke up on Saturday morning, we discovered that we couldn't eat our breakfast cereal-we didn't have any milk or yogurt! By noon, it got really hot inside our apartment, but we couldn't turn on the air conditioner. Even worse, most household tasks became very difficult without electricity. For example, we had to wash all our clothes by hand, and this took us a lot of time.
Activity 5: Time to retell:
However, there were also nice things about living without electricity. On Sunday, we went on a bike trip and visited my grandparents in the countryside. We enjoyed a picnic in their garden, and we also played chess and painted pictures together. At night, we sat under the stars and listened to my grandad's stories.
This was a really interesting experience, but I cannot imagine living without electricity for more than a few days.
