Reading comprehension – Kofi’s Day: A Glimpse into Life in Accra.


Kofi is a young man from Accra, (Ghana).
He is starting his day early in Accra.
The sun is just peeking over the horizon as he’s waking up.
He stretches, yawns, and then he’s heading to the bathroom.
He’s brushing his teeth, a quick shower follows, and soon he’s getting dressed, thinking about the day ahead.
Is he forgetting anything? He grabs his bag, and he’s heading to the kitchen. He’s making some breakfast – some fruit and tea – and he’s listening to the news on the radio while he eats.

Time to go! He’s leaving the house now, and he’s saying hello to his neighbors as he walks down the street. He works in an office downtown. Right now, he’s working on his computer, answering emails and preparing for a meeting. At lunchtime, he’s meeting his friends at a small restaurant. They’re chatting and laughing as they eat.

Back at the office, he’s attending a meeting, listening carefully and taking notes. After work, he’s taking the bus to visit his family. They’re always happy to see him. He’s having dinner with them now, sharing stories and enjoying a good meal. Later, he’s relaxing at home. He’s reading a book, and then he’s thinking about his day. He isn’t forgetting anything, he’s sure of that. Finally, he’s going to bed. It’s been a busy day, but a good one.
