What was I reading?
I was reading about a kiwi rock climber who fell 30 metres down a cliff in Australia. He fell off the cliff at around 7pm. He had a broken sternum, a broken tibia, major head injuries, a collapsed lung and a fractured jaw but he still survived. His incident happened April 26. I think the age audience would be teenagers. I think the purpose of this text is to inform people.

I was reading about a crocodile attack in north Queensland. 

A woman names Cindy Waldron was attacked and killed by a crocodile at the beach. Waldron and her old childhood friend Leeann Mitchell were at the beach celebrating the end of her cancer treatment. I think this article is to give out information, and I think the age audience of this text would be for teens.

I was reading about a four-year-old boy names Lucas Kiser who has a very rare condition named Stickler Syndrome. This condition causes Lucas to have sight, hearing, joint, and heart problems. Lucas' father is a former student from the school Lucas goes to, and he asked to help with costs for Lucas' family to fly to America to learn about his condition. I think this article is suitable for anyone to read.
