Question

3. Read and answer.
My brother Ben was feeling very tired during the day and couldn't pay attention in his classes. The teacher
called my parents and said he was daydreaming all the time, and sometimes he couldn't stay awake.
My parents decided to search for a doctor that could help to understand his problem. The doctor asked
my brother to sleep at the hospital for one night, so he could watch his sleep and check what could be
wrong. The surprise was that, right after beginning to sleep, my brother would sit on the bed and start
reading. So we realized that he's a sleepwalker and he was only tired from reading all night long.
