4176 aunt fiona reading comprehension

Every family has a character that stands out from
the rest. For, me that character is Aunt Fiona. It
isn’t her curly hair and freckles because my
brother and I have those too. Aunt Fiona talks
enthusiastically with everyone she meets, but Dad
says that’s just “the McNulty talking gene.”
These traits are special, but what makes Aunt
Fiona extra wonderful is her spirit of adventure.
She loves to travel and has gone all over the world.
She taught English to Japanese children

So that she could visit Asia. Before that, she worked as a
messenger. She took important papers all over for big
companies. In a month, she might go to France, Italy, and
Australia. Her first job was in the Peace Corps. Aunt
Fiona spent two years in Africa, helping to build schools
for children.
To Aunt Fiona, the most important goal is to satisfy your
curiosity about the world. She makes me want to have
exciting adventures around the world too.
