3a. Read the passage based on Robinson Crusoe with the following questions.
What does Robinson Crusoe wait for?
2. Why does Robinson Crusoe call the man Friday?
When I first arrived on this island, I had nothing. But I’ve found the ship and made a small boat. I’ve brought back many things I can use —— food and drink, tools, knives and guns. Although I have lost everything, I have not lost my life. So I will not give up and I will wait for another ship. I have already cut down trees and built a house. I go out with my gun
almost every day to kill animals and birds for food. I’m even learning to grow fruit and vegetables.
A few weeks ago, I found the marks of another man’s feet on the sand. Who else is on my island? How long have they been here? Not long after that, I saw some cannibals trying to kill two men from a broken ship. One of them died but the other ran towards my house.
I helped him kill the cannibals. This man now lives with me and helps me. I named him Friday because that was the day I met him.
