Boggle rolled down the hill and into a canoe traveling down the river. The man in the canoe tossed Boggle onto the riverbank, where an eagle picked it up but dropped it in a tree. Later, Jonathan's family walked by and he was reunited with Boggle.

    SEGUNDA LINGUA ESTRANXEIRA: INGLÉS


    OPCIÓN A
    Read the text and the instructions to the questions very carefully. Answer all the questions in English.
    Jonathan and his family were on their way to Silver Mountain for a day of walking in the hills. Jonathan sat in the
    back seat, clutching Boggle, his toy dog, in his arms, and looking at the scenery: majestic mountains divided by deep
    long blue rivers, and more tree species than he ever knew existed. “Do you want to see too?” he asked, putting
    Boggle’s head out through the open window.

    There were a few branches and many stones, large and small, on the lonely road. As they passed a little bridge, the
    car hit one of the largest stones. Boggle dropped out of the window and rolled downhill towards the river. “Daddy! I
    lost Boggle!” Jonathan shouted.

    The car stopped almost immediately and he raced out just in time to see Boggle disappear out of view in the back of a
    canoe travelling down the river.

    Carlos heard a noise behind him. “Hey, there,” he said, picking up the toy dog from the bottom of his canoe and
    looking up to see where it came from. He thought he could see a young boy standing on the bridge, looking down, but
    there was no way he could go back against the strong current. Not having any use for a toy dog, he tossed it onto the
    riverbank.

    An eagle flying overhead saw something white down below. It looked like a tasty mouse, so it swooped and picked it
    up with its claws. The eagle soon realized the animal could not be eaten, and dropped it in a pine tree, where it
    remained until a soft breeze made it fall onto the walking path below.

    A little while later, a family came along the path. Suddenly, “Boggle!” exclaimed Jonathan. “How did you get here?”
    Boggle couldn’t answer, of course. It just stared at Jonathan with its big, yellow eyes.

    OPCIÓN B
    Read the text and the instructions to the questions very carefully. Answer all the questions in English.
    Finland has just been shown to be the happiest country in the world. Some people who live there suggest the reasons:
    Melissa Georghiu says: There are a few main factors that make Finns so happy … and it’s not the grey Helsinki
    weather! Even when the skies are grey, the air is clean. There’s a culture of trust and a lack of corruption. It doesn’t
    matter how much wealth you have, everyone expects to pay their taxes. These are very high but so are the benefits in
    return. People aren’t worried about their basic needs not being met. Finland has also struck the right balance between
    learning and play in their education system. Learning is of enormous value but so is play. Both are offered by the
    education system in equal measure.

    Eerika Roos-Kulrik says: It’s about so many things. We don’t have serious terrorism, gun violence, pollution or
    homeless people living on the streets. Our country is safe and you can trust the police and the law. Everything works
    and people mostly play by the rules. We are quite honest. We have complete access to the Internet and every citizen
    is equal; we have free healthcare, free education from elementary to university and Finland is one of the world’s
    safest places to give birth or to be born.

    It doesn’t matter what your background is; anyone can be anything if they just work hard for their dreams. And if you
    fall, our social security system will catch you. Or at least it is designed to do so. We love our clean nature and believe
    in fresh air. Finland was the first country in Europe and the third country in the world to give women a right to vote in
    1906. We had our first female minister in 1926. So in terms of equality, gender and otherwise, I like to think that we
    are well educated and open minded.
