Reading Excercise: Hi, my name is Jacob and Im 13 years old. I was born in India but my parents are british.

Ive traveled around the world a lot because my father is a sailor. He is always coming back and forth. I like airplanes better than Boats. I like going through the clouds, up in the air rather than the sea. Still I like moving from place to place. Ive been in Australia, where Kangaroos and Koalas live. Australia is bigger than England and sunnier. In Australia the sun is hotter too but not as hot as in India. I love animals and I have been able to see lots of them. My favorite are Elephants. They are so big and calm. Its like theyre always thinking. They are slower than many other animals. Tigers are very beautiful but still very dangerous. Tigers are more dangerous than elephants. Tigers have stripes so we cannot see them very easily. Ive seen Sharks too! Im kinda afraid of them. They are white, big and dangerous as well. Maybe I dont like sailing so much beacause of sharks. My father is not afraid of Sharks, he actually loves them. He has seen lots of them. He is a very bold man. My mother is more relaxed than my father. She is a writer. Traveling keeps her inspired. She writes books for children. I like her stories, they are fantastic. Our next stop is going to be Brazil. I like soccer so Im very excited to go. Can you tell me where my next stop should be?
