Prepare 6 Review 1 Station 1 Open cloze

When I was a child, a new family moved into a house (a)   was next to ours.

The family had three children, (a)   was great for me because I always enjoyed having playmates.

One day, one of the children, (a)   name was Emily, invited me out to play ...

...to play in the woods, (a)   we used to spend countless afternoons playing hide and seek.

On that day, though, there was a notice saying (a)   the woods were closed.

Apparently, a mischievous monkey (a)   escaped from the nearby zoo ...

... so it was (a)   dangerous to venture into our favourite spot.

Emily and I decided (a)   explore the neighbourhood together instead.

We ended up discovering hidden trails and secret places (a)   we had never noticed before.

The unexpected adventure turned (a)   to be even more exciting than our usual playtime.
