Sami never forgets the first day of his holiday last

year. It was the worst day, too! First, he overslept. He

didn’t hear his alarm clock, so he was late for the bus

and his football match. Then he dressed quickly, and

ran down the street to the sports centre. He was running

so fast, he tripped and fell. Next, he was lying on the

ground in pain. After that, he doesn’t remember much

about what happened. But he ended up in hospital

It isn’t always easy to give a fair view of a complicated topic, but you can’t present your own point of view. And another thing that can be dif ficult is when you have too little information about a story, or your information is confusing.
