Для обучения учащихся 8 класса чтению с полным пониманием содержания предлагаю следующий текст с заданиями к нему. Текст взят из учебного пособия Spotlight 9 стр. 28, упражнения к нему разработаны мной.

It was a warm, sunny afternoon in Epping. Jamie and his two friends, Mark and Sean, were walking happily in the forest, telling stories of their recent holidays.

Suddenly, while they were enjoying their walk, Mark’s foot hit something and he fell over. As he got up, he spotted something sticking out from the ground: the corner of a brown, dusty box. The three curious friends reached excitedly for the box, but it was too deep into the ground, which meant they would have to dig so as to get the box out. However, it was getting dark so they decided to cover the box with leaves and return the next day.

The following afternoon, the boys rushed to the hidden spot in the woods with a small shovel. As soon as they got there, they started digging enthusiastically, and after an hour of exhausting effort, the three finally managed to pull the mysterious box out. Mark opened the box carefully, and what they saw in there took their breath away: dozens and dozens of small, gold coins!

Later, they took the chest to the police and found out that someone had stolen those coins from the local museum and hidden them in the woods. The museum was offering a three-hundred-pound reward to anyone who found them. The three friends were now proud and happy that they had discovered the stolen treasure. But they were also famous, as their story and picture appeared on the front page of the local newspaper!
