PRACTICE
Reading 1: For each question, choose the correct answer.
A Laude
My mum and dad were teachers so it’s not surprising that I became one. I saw how
happy they were in their jobs and I always thought teaching was a possibility for me.
But I didn’t think it would be such hard work. During term time there is absolutely no
time for any personal evening activities in the week. Luckily, we get good holidays and
I love travelling when I get the chance.
B Polly
I did a teacher training course in college and now I work in a school with children aged
four to eleven. I love seeing them growing up in front of my eyes! I teach kids in their
first year at school. At the beginning of the year they are usually shy and quiet, but I do
everything I can to make them feel relaxed and happy. If they aren’t happy and relaxed,
they aren’t going to learn. I’m glad tests aren’t important for my pupils.
C Stan
I teach history to children over the age of sixteen. Most of them work very hard because
they want to get good marks and get into the university of their choice. I love discussing
things with them and helping them understand the links between what has happened in
the past and things that are happening now. I never thought I would be a teacher I only
turned to it when I was looking for a job after university and I love it!

A round-the-world- trip
lOMoARcPSD| 22014077
Alice Woods and her brother Luke went on a special holiday.
When I was 16, my parents decided to take me and my brother Luke out of school for six months
to travel around the world. They wanted us to visit lots of different countries and learn new
things. They said doing that kind of trip was better for us than spending six months in the
classroom.
Luke and me both continued our studies during the trip, so every morning we had online classes
in subjects like Maths and Science. Our parents also asked us to study the history of the places
we visited and when we had free time in the afternoons, we went to museum exhibitions or read
guidebooks.
We did some wonderful things on the trip, like sailing along the Mekong river in Vietnam and
visiting the Taj Mahal in India. Luke enjoyed travelling around the Ambos Eli Nation Park in
Kenya. He was interested in wildlife and loved seeing the elephants. I enjoyed that too, but for
me the best part was visiting the Rocky Mountains in Canada. We camped there for a few days
and the views were amazing!
It was a great trip. I enjoyed everything about it, but now we’re home again. I’m happy to be
back at school and spending time with my classmates. I really missed them when I went away.
1. Why did Alice’s parents decide to take the family to travel around the world?
A. Because they were bored with life at home.
B. Because they had free time at school.
C. Because they wanted to visit other countries and learn new things.
2. What did Alice and Luke do in the mornings during their trip?
A. They visited exhibitions.
B. They studied online.
C. They read guidebooks.
3. Where did Alice and Luke visit in India?
A. the Taj Mahal
B. the Ambos Eli National Park
C. the Mekong river
4. Which place did Alice like visiting the best?
A. Mekong river
B. Ambos Eli National Park
C. Rocky Mountains
5. How does Alice feel now?
A. happy to eat meals at home.
B. happy to see her friends again.
C. happy to spend time in her own room.
