READING:
Read the text about the old colonel then answer the following questions.
I think I have had a very interesting life.

I'm 73 now and I don't work anymore. I
was in the army for 51 years. I retired
when I was 69. I have been to so many
countries that I can't remember all of
them. I've been to Australia six or seven
times and to South Africa three times. I
have also been once to Russia but I didn't like it at all: much too
cold for me!
They say that love is the greatest thing and I agree. I've been
married four times but never for more than five years. I don't think
women really understand me!
I've never been on television, but I've been on the radio once. It
was a programme about life in the military about twenty years ago.
I met the Prime Minister on the same day. Actually, I've met a lot of
famous people: members of the royal family, famous politicians and
also famous cinema and television personalities. I've never met the
American President though which is a pity.
Because I've travelled a lot, I've seen a lot of wonderful things and
have also eaten and drunk some strange foods and drinks. I ate cat
and rat in India and drank something called Mirto on a little island in
Italy many years ago.
