📖 Part 1: Read the Story

Instructions: Read the following story carefully. Pay attention to the highlighted words and phrases.

The Lost Kitten

One sunny afternoon in the park, Emma was walking her dog Rex when she heard a tiny mewing sound. Behind a large oak tree, she discovered a small grey kitten that looked scared and hungry.

The kitten had no collar and seemed lost. Emma knew she had to help, but Rex kept barking at the frightened animal. Emma gently picked up the kitten and carried it to the nearby animal shelter, where the kind staff promised to help find its owner.

Three days later, Emma received a phone call from the shelter. A worried family had been searching everywhere for their missing pet, Whiskers. Emma felt happy knowing that Whiskers was safely reunited with his family.
