The Cosmic Pirate Rescue

High Elementary (A2 High) IELTS Prep CEFR A2 272 words 5 min read

Astronaut Mia was flying her small spaceship when a strange storm pulled her into a different world. She woke up on a large ship that had sails and a wooden deck. The ship was flying through space, and the crew were pirates who had blue skin and three eyes. Their leader, Captain Redbeard, looked at Mia with a serious face. "You are now our prisoner," he said, but his voice sounded worried.

Soon, a giant black hole appeared in front of the ship. The pirates tried to turn the ship, but the sails were torn and the engine was broken. Captain Redbeard told Mia, "We know you are an astronaut. You understand machines. Help us, or we will all die." Mia had a choice: she could escape in her tiny escape pod, or she could stay and help the pirates who had captured her. Her hands shook because she was very afraid.
