THE SUGAR GLIDER
Group 1: 2. It has been a year since they have divorced. During that time Don worked hardly and flew around the beautiful islands of the Pacific. He thought about his exwife and his daughter very much. Don’s heart is beating fast when he recognizes Sylvia, because he loves her and she loves him too. But now Sylvia has a boyfriend, Patrick Forsha. He’s a rich man but a bad person. Don felt badly because he left his family in the past but now he wants to return at home again, and so do Judy and Sylvia. In the future Sylvia and Don will get married again and will have two more children. Don will start his flying school and Judy will learn to fly. Her father will be her teacher. They will be a happy family. Group 2: 3. My favorite character in this story is Judy Radcliffe, Don’s daughter. She’s a teenager and she is fourteen years old. She is tall and thin and she has long dark and wavy hair and the same pretty face as her mother. Personally, I think she’s a very brave girl, because she rode alone on her wild horse through the forest for two or three hours, she found help and saw how Patrick killed several men; finally she saved her father. She is the heroine of this story. Group 3: 6. When Judy and the rescuers found Don, he was dead; Judy started to cry and felt guilty about this. She had spent a lot of time coming. Patrick was happy because now he could get married to Sylvia, but Judy hated him with all her might because it was his fault that his father was dead. Sylvia didn’t love Patrick but she didn’t want to be alone. Judy told her mother that Patrick was a bad person and he had killed her father, but Sylvia didn’t believe her. ‘It was too horrible for him!’ she said.
After the wedding Sylvia and Patrick lived together in a big house in the city centre of Canberra, the capital of Australia, but Judy didn’t want to stay with Patrick, so she went to her grandmother’s house and lived there until she was eighteen years old.
