If you have to live on the island alone, what will you take?
I was taken to a wild island. I felt sad because I couldn’t find any marks of human beings.
But this kind of normal life was not what I wanted. 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 fought 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. My parents named me Robinson because of my mother’s family name.

Robinson Crusoe met Friday.
Robinson Crusoe tries to be alive.
When I first arrived on this island, I
had nothing. But I’ve found the ship
and made a small boat. I’ve brought
back many things I can use---food
and drink, tools, knives and guns.
Although I have lost everything, I
have not lost my life. So I will not
give up and I will wait for another
ship. I have already cut down trees
and built a house. I go out with my
gun almost every day to kill animals
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.
Who else is on my island? How long
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.
