David’s flat is very near the beach. He can sit on the balcony and 1[1] all the people who are having fun in the water. David loves the sea and often swims in the morning, before he goes to school.

I’m so 3[3],” he thought. “I know!

He slowly put one foot in the water and quickly pulled it out again! “David! What are you doing?” his mother called from the flat. “I want to go swimming, Mum!” David answered. “But the sea is colder than 5[5]! I’ll go to the new swimming pool in town instead! Bye!”
