Reading

Every year, Chloe's school organises a sports day in June, and this year Chloe decided to enter the long jump and the relay race. She practised jumping in the garden every evening for two weeks, trying to improve her distance a little each time. On the day of the event, the weather was sunny and warm, which was perfect for outdoor sports. Chloe felt nervous before the long jump, but she remembered her coach's advice to focus on running fast before jumping. She jumped further than she ever had before and came second in her group. Later, in the relay race, Chloe's team worked well together and passed the baton smoothly, finishing in first place. Chloe went home with a medal and a big smile.
