15、：I thought this summer vacation at Aunt Jennys would go as interesting as watching paint dry. Hers was an old house, built before time began, it seemed. One hundred years ago it was often filled with people coming to stay for the summer-it was such large, grand house that there would be thirty or fo
16、rty guests at a time, and the host barely knew who some of them were. Then there was the host himself-my great grandfather. He was widely thought of as the smartest, funniest man of his age, and people would come from all over the world to see him. But that was all in the past. Now the only person w
17、ho lived here was Aunt Jenny, who lived in one small part of the house and kept the rest closed up. Then I caught the sun shining in my eyes from a tall mirror in the hallway. How pretty! It must be a hundred years old. If only I could go back and see my great grandfather! I said, cleaning the dirt
18、off the mirror with my hand. Suddenly, the shiny mirror became a sea of clouds and I felt myself being pulled inside it. The world began to spin, and I felt confused.Then, just like that, everything stopped. I looked around, and there I was with the mirror and in the same hall, but things were diffe
19、rent. The family photos on the wall were now replaced by paintings of people I did not recognise. The furniture all looked new but old-fashioned at the same time. I must be one hundred years into the past! I thought to myself. Then a woman wearing old-fashioned clothing came down the hall. Drawing n

I think it will just fit. She led me away to her room and helped me get dressed like I was an old friend, and th
21、en together we went down to the parlour, which was filled with people dressed in fine clothes gathering around my great grandfather, listening to every word he said. I spent the summer there, pretending to be a distant cousin from the city who was there on holiday. No one seemed to mind or care, as
22、my great grandfather was quite wealthy and always had lots of guests. I tried to spend as much time as possible with my great grandfather and his friends, and it was the most wonderful time of my life. Then when the end of summer drew near, I went back to the mirror and rubbed it with my hand again. I found myself back in the same hall, but in modern time. Not a minute had passed. Then I realised that I still had a full summer ahead at boring Aunt Jennys. Now what am I going to do? I asked myself.Thank you!
