The Great Bake Day (Oxford 3000 Vocabulary Series)
Estimated reading time: 0:44s
In a large area near the river, there was a big event where everyone came to bake and play. Lucy, an expert baker, needed an aide to help her make the best cake. Tom, her friend and ally, was also excited to join. He drove his auto to Lucy’s house early in the morning, and they packed everything to go. At the event, they set up their baking table away from the noisy crowd near the back where it was quiet and calm. The army of volunteers helped to keep everything running smoothly, distributing tools and ingredients. Soon, the smell of delicious cakes filled the air. Children kicked a ball around, laughing and enjoying the sunny day. It was a perfect mix of fun, friends, and food.
