READING

Last year my boyfriend Mark was forty, and I wanted to get him a special present for his birthday. Just before
Christmas I saw tickets for a Bruce Springsteen concert for sale on the internet. The concert was in
Burlington, about 25 miles away from where we live, and Mark is a big fan of Bruce Springsteen, so I
decided to buy two tickets. They weren’t cheap – I think I paid around $90 for each one. I wanted to surprise
Mark, so I didn’t tell him about it.

On the day of the concert, I told Mark that I wanted to do some Christmas shopping in Sheffield. We left in
my car just after lunch and spent the afternoon in a big shopping mall. I bought Christmas presents for my
family and a skirt for work. Mark looked for some new jeans, but he couldn’t find any that he liked. By the
time we finished shopping, it was nearly 6 p.m. and we were hungry, so we had dinner in a Japanese
restaurant. After dinner we left the shopping mall and started on our way home. On the way we passed the
concert hall, and we could see the crowds of fans outside. Mark was really surprised when I drove into the
concert hall parking lot and gave him the tickets!

The concert was fantastic. We danced all night, and Mark took lots of photos on his cell phone. Afterwards
we bought a concert CD. We put it on when we got in the car, and we sang all of the songs as we drove
home. We didn’t get back home until nearly one o’clock in the morning, and we were both really tired, but it
was a great night and Mark really enjoyed his surprise.
