Read the passage carefully. Then choose the correct answer and write its number (A,B,C or D) in the brackets.

　　　 Last Sunday, Lindy and her family　 went to the East Coast Park. They went there early in the morning as Mr Lim wanted to have a morning jog. The family jogged for one hour before they　 proceeded to do their favourite activity. They liked to cycle and enjoyed the breeze. While they cycled, they chatted and admired the beautiful scenery. After that, Lindy pestered her parents to skate with her. Eventually, Mr and Mrs Lim agreed reluctantly. They did not like that activity as they felt they were too old for it. They skated for an hour and felt tired and hungry. As they had not eaten pizza for a long time, they had their meal at the nearby pizza restaurant.
