My grandfather Jack is 96 years old, and he has had an
interesting life. He has traveled a lot in his life in the Far East. He visited
the Taj Mahal(泰姬陵) in India and the Pyramids in Egypt. He
hunted lions in Africa, and rode a camel in the Sahara Desert(撒哈拉沙漠). He says the most beautiful place he has traveled to
is Kathmandu in Nepal(尼泊尔).
Jack has married twice. His first wife died when she
was 32. He met his second wife Maria while he was cycling round France. They
have been married for 50 years, and they have lived happily in a small village
since they got married.
Jack says that he has never been ill in his life. The
secret of good health, according to my grandfather, is exercise. He goes
swimming every morning. He has done this since he was a boy. He also has a
glass of wine every night! Perhaps that is his secret!
