THE STORY OF THE CARROT AND THE RING
Have you ever lost something that was precious to you, and thought you’d never see it again?
That’s what happened to Mary Grams from Canada.
Mary had worn her engagement ring for more than half a century when she suddenly lost it. She
was working in her garden on the family farm one day, pulling out a plant. (1)…………….When
she discovered it was missing, she searched everywhere for it for days, before finally giving up.
Mary realized she probably wasn’t going to find the ring again. So she decided not to tell anyone
about what had happened, apart from her son. Instead, she thought she would replace it with a
much cheaper ring from a jeweller’s. (2)…………….In fact, it was so similar that no one else in
her family even knew her original ring was missing.
But the story has a happy ending. Mary eventually got her engagement ring back- 13 years after it
was lost! One day Mary’s daughter-in-law Colleen was working in the same garden where Mary had been all those years ago.
(3)…………….But this time it locked a bit different- because there was a carrot growing right through the middle of it!
As soon as Colleen saw the ring, she knew immediately who the owner was. The farm had been
in the family for over 100 years. (4)…………….So when Colleen discovered the story of the lost
ring, it became clear there was only one person it could possibly have belonged to, and the ring was returned to Mary.
Mary decided to remove her ring from the carrot and wear it again. (5)…………….Then the ring
was washed, and Mary put it back on her finger- and it still fitted perfectly! Your answers: 1,5 1. c 2. h 3. a 4.f 5. d 6/10

questions. Write your answer (A, B, C, or D) in the numbered boxes. (1,5pt) OUR SCHOOL NEWSPAPER
Some years ago, our head teacher, Mrs. Waters, decided to start a school newspaper, and
get as many students as possible to take on the job of producing it- and parents, too. She felt the
newspaper would help them learn more about school life, through articles on things like sports
achievements and arts projects, which not all students know about if they’re not taking part.
Students took the whole thing very seriously- and we now have a prize – winning newspaper! 7/10
Some of my friends joined the newspaper team immediately and enjoyed it. I’d always loved
creative writing and drawing cartoons, which I thought would be perfect in the newspaper, so I
signed up. My dad, who’s a journalist, was pleased- he thought that even though I wasn’t keen on
a job like his, the newspaper would be a great opportunity for me. And he was right- I loved it!
Dad often came along to give advice, which was popular with the students. It was difficult
sometimes, if he was busy, but he learned a lot about the school that way.
My first job was writing a report about a sports event- a writing style I’d never attempted before.
But Dad reminded me it was similar in some ways to writing a story- getting information in the
right order. Once I’d understood that, there was no stopping me- and after my first efforts, I
developed quite a professional style, which was brilliant. Sometimes the team couldn’t use what
I’d written, or my cartoons, for whatever reason, but I didn’t mind. And sometimes it was hard to
finish stuff on time, but I usually got there.
I’m now one of the editors- we decide what goes into the newspaper, so our names no longer
appear in print. And it’s stressful sometimes as we don’t have much time, but we try to manage
that properly. We also correct mistakes in people’s articles, which we all had to get used to, but
we were soon doing it without thinking- and in our own schoolwork, too. I still put off calling
people outside school for comments on stuff, but I guess it’s all good experience- at least, that’s what Dad says!
1. Michael’s head teacher wanted to start a student newspaper to
A. provide an activity for students not interested in sport or art.

A. he had ideas about some work he could do for it.

3. When Michael first started working on the newspaper, he was
A. disappointed when his stories sometimes weren’t used.
B. delighted at the way his writing skills improved.
C. pleased to find he could make use of his art skills.

4. What does Michael say about his role on the newspaper now?
A. He feels uncomfortable about correcting other students’ work.
B. He still needs to improve the way he manages his time.
C. He’s happier to handle making telephone calls to others.
D. He’s become better at making articles more accurate.
5. What would Michael’s dad say about the newspaper? A. B. I was surprised at how I occasionally had keen Michael was to get problems finding the time involved- he’s never to help out at Michael’s shown that much interest school, but the students in writing before. really seemed to like my suggestions. 8/10 C.
