Description

Practice 1 Read the poem below carefully. Then, answer questions (a) - (d).

My Hero My dad’s as brave as a dad can be, I rate him Number One, He’s not afraid off the dead of night, Or anything under the sun He’s not afraid of a late-night film, Full of horrors on the telly, And is he afraid of skeletons? Not dad, not on your Nelly! He’s not afraid of meeting ghosts, He’d even smile and greet ‘em, And things that scare most dads the most My dad could just defeat ‘em.

He’s not afraid of vampires, Or a wolf-man come to get him, If Frankenstein’s monster knocked on your door, He wouldn’t let that upset him. My dad’s as brave as a dad can be, And he’s always ready to prove it. So why, when a spider’s in the bath, Does Mum have to come and remove it?
