from fiction novels to books about nature. But his favourite books are mystery

him. They think that reading improves a person’s vocabulary and expression.

One day Bob was reading a book about Dinosaurs which really interested him. He
read about the T-Rex, Raptors, Dracorex, Troodon and many more. The next
week, in a “Just a Minute” competition Bob had to pick up a chit and speak
about that topic for a minute. This competition was amongst various schools in
his town. To his surprise, his topic was ‘T-Rex’. This made Bob very excited
because he knew a lot about dinosaurs. Bob spoke very well and focused on
the details.

Even though he did well, he was not expecting to win. As the results were being
announced, Bob became very nervous. But he got excited when his name was
announced for first place. Bob didn’t only make his parents proud, but his entire
school.

This was the first “Just a Minute” competition the school had ever won. Soon
everybody wanted to become Bob’s friend. No one laughed or teased him
anymore. Bob was happy that his hobby got him success.

1. What do Bob’s teachers and parents think about his habit?

2. What do Bob’s friends call him and why?

3. What surprising event took place during “Just a Minute”?
