Monday Tom s Midnight Garden Monday 27thApril 2020 L.O: To summarise the main points of the text Text Talk

Steps to success To read and understand the text. To make sure my sentences are shorter than the text. Use my own words Include the main ideas from the text.

From Toms Midnight Garden Chapter 3, By Moonlight Never having had occasion to use the door, Tom had no idea how it might be secured at night. If it were locked, and the key kept elsewhere But it was not locked, he found; only bolted. He drew the bolt and, very slowly, to make no sound, turned the door-knob. Hurry! whispered the house; and the grandfather clock at the heart of it beat an anxious tick, tick. Tom opened the door wide and let in the moonlight. It flooded in, as bright as daylight the white daylight that comes before the full rising of the sun. The illumination was perfect, but Tom did not at once turn to see what it showed him of the clock-face. Instead he took a step forward on to the doorstep. He was staring, at first in surprise, then with indignation, at what he saw outside. That they should have deceived him lied to him like this! They had said, It s not worth your while going out at the back, Tom. So carelessly they had described it: A sort of back-yard, very poky, with rubbish bins. Really, there s nothing to see. Nothing Only this: a great lawn where flower-beds bloomed; a towering fir-tree, and thick, beetle-browed yews that humped their shapes down two sides of the lawn; on the third side, to the right, a greenhouse almost the size of a real house; from each corner of the lawn, a path that twisted away to some other depths of garden, with other trees.
