It was a very hot day in the city. My mom said she would take me to b the swimming pool because it was a good place to cool down. 2 RXENL08CRD1X_AL_23_TXT.indd 2 1/16/08 2:32:52 PM My big sister sat by a fan. The fan was blowing cool air on her, which felt nicer than the heat. “We’re going to the swimming pool,” I called loudly. “I’ll come, too,” she said. 3 RXENL08CRD1X_AL_23_TXT.indd 3 1/17/08 1:02:45 PM We walked down the street, side by side. I pulled my sun hat down farther to keep the hot sun off my nose. We came to Jake’s house. Jake’s family was sitting in the shade under a tree. 4 RXENL08CRD1X_AL_23_TXT.indd 4 1/16/08 2:35:28 PM “Where are you going?” Jake called loudly. “To the swimming pool,” I said. “We’ll come, too,” said Jake’s dad. We sat in the shade of their tree until Jake and his family got their swimming things. 5 We walked on down our street. We saw Mr. Chin cleaning his brown van with water from a hose. “Hello, Mr. Chin,” I called. “We’re going to the swimming pool.” 6 “I’ll come, too,” said Mr. Chin. He turned off the hose. We waited by his van until he got his swimming things. “It’s too hot to walk,” Mr. Chin said when he came back. “We can go in my van.” 7 Te a c he rR ea Think Critically d- Alo ud 1.
