The young wizard
Many, many years ago, a boy named Charlie was born deep in an enchanted
forest. Charlie’s father, a legendary wizard, taught him (1) ____________________
magic when he was very young. His father gave him a wand for his fifth birthday
and showed him (2) ____________________ it around to cast spells. Charlie’s
mother, on the other hand, was a powerful witch who specialized in making magical
potions. She often took Charlie on walks through the forest and showed him
(3) ____________________ the ingredients—the tree barks and plant roots—for
these magical brews.
But Charlie was a terrible listener. He always forgot (4) ______________ plants
______________ for the potions, and he never remembered
(5) ____________________ any specific ingredient to the big bubbling pot. He also
wasn’t good with his wand. He never quite understood (6) ____________________
his magical powers. The truth was that Charlie just didn’t like learning about magic
and potions. He most liked wandering around the forest, daydreaming about going
on an adventure.
One day, Charlie wandered far away from his little house. He wandered for hours
until night fell over the woods. Charlie looked around, but suddenly nothing seemed
familiar. He couldn’t decide (7) ______________ way ______________, because
he didn’t know (8) ____________________ home from here. Charlie’s father had
once taught him a magical spell that would transport him home if ever got lost, but
Charlie had forgotten (9) ____________________ that spell. Now he was
completely lost and he had no idea (10) ____________________!

situations on the lines below.
You: Hey John. I have a question for you. (1) (How react/meet a ghost)?

one/definitely strike up a conversation).
John: What?! But don’t you realize that (5) (vampire bites you/turn into a vampire too)?

outside during the day). (8) (am you/consider that).

Using be used to and used to
You are writing a journal entry about a camping trip you went on with your family.
Complete the journal entry with the correct form of ‘be (not) used to’ and ‘used to/did not
use to’.
Last week, my family and I went camping in the woods. I (1) _________________
like camping when I was younger, but I’ve learnt to enjoy it. This last camping trip
was the best one yet! While we were sitting around the campfire, Dad started
telling us all ghost stories. It was a blast!
I (2) _________________ hate ghost stories because they gave me nightmares.
But when Dad was telling his stories by the campfire, I found myself really
enjoying them. Dad’s always been a great storyteller. He (3) _________________
tell me bedtime stories when I was younger. I always loved the way he told them.
He (4) _________________ make me laugh when he told stories because he
acted out different characters with really funny voices.
My sister Lisa and I kept asking Dad to tell more ghost stories before we left the
campfire for the night. Even Mum wanted to hear more stories. That surprised me
because Mum (5) _________________ like scary stuff. She
(6) _________________ turn off the TV whenever a scary film was on. But she
loved Dad’s campfire stories. Just before bedtime, the most surprising thing
happened—Mum decided to tell her own ghost story! It was obvious that she
(7) _________________ telling stories in front of people because she kept
messing up the plot. Still, all in all, it was a fun night.
After we finished the stories, we all crawled into the tent. I
(8) _________________ sleeping on the ground, so I had trouble getting
comfortable. It didn’t help that Lisa started snoring really loudly as soon as she
fell asleep. But I (9) _________________ that because we share a room at home,
and I have to listen to her snore every night! Anyway, I fell asleep soon enough.
And guess what? It was a very peaceful rest. I didn’t have a single nightmare!
