Reading Comprehension

Lisez le texte, puis répondez aux questions.

It's Saturday afternoon in Central Park. The sun is shining, and a lot of people are enjoying the warm weather. Near the lake, two children are feeding the ducks with pieces of bread. Their mother is sitting on a bench and is reading a book, but she is not paying much attention to it — she keeps looking up at her kids.

A little further away, a group of teenagers are playing frisbee on the grass. One of them, Marco, is running fast to catch the disc, but he isn't watching where he's going, and he almost is falling over a dog! The dog's owner is laughing and is taking a photo with her phone.

Meanwhile, an old man is standing near a food cart. He is buying an ice cream, and the vendor is smiling as she hands it to him. Everyone in the park, it seems, is having a wonderful day.

1. What are the two children doing near the lake?
2. What is the children's mother doing?
3. Why does Marco almost fall?
4. What is the dog's owner doing when Marco almost falls?
5. What is the old man doing near the food cart?
