Let’s introduce you to Dorothy Hoffner. This lovely lady is from Chicago, the United States. She will be 105 years old soon.

Recently, Hoffner does something very exciting. She jumps out of an airplane with a parachute. She is the oldest person to do it. She says it is a wonderful and pleasant experience for her.

Now, here is the best part. Hoffner is not stopping there. She is planning other things. She wants to ride in a hot air balloon. It is a new thing for her.

Hoffner’s story shows that age is not important. We can always have fun and try new things. It is never too late.

Difficult words: parachute (a piece of cloth which people or planes use during landing), experience (something what happens to you), age (how old someone is).
