1. My neighbour, Mr. Mason, loves spending time in his garden. He would rather work outside than stay indoors, even when it is snowing! Early in the morning, you can see Mr. Mason eating breakfast in his garden, and late at night he is there again, with a cup of cocoa in his hand. I’d like to help sometimes when there is lots of work to do, but Mr. Mason prefers doing everything himself. He doesn’t mind getting cold and wet in the winter, and his wife says it’s no use trying to make him wear a waterproof jacket because he hates wearing them! Mr. Mason says he will go on gardening until he is too old to do it!
