reader's corner, the Swiss family Robinson, track 17. Read and listen to some

information about the story, the Swiss family Robinson. Point at the pictures

of the characters as you hear their names. A Swiss family wanted to leave

Switzerland and started a new life in a new country. They were on a ship going to

that country, but there was a big storm in the sea for six days. The waves were

huge and they hit the ship. The ship began to sink. They were on a sinking ship.

Everybody was afraid so they left the ship. The Swiss family was alone on the

ship. They were lucky because the ship didn't sink. That night they slept. The

next morning they used a raft to get to the shore of a place they didn't know.

They built a fireplace to make a fire. They were all alone, but there were many

coconut palms.
