Q4.) Read the article about a trip into a rainforest and the questions below. For each question,

Toni’s trip into the rainforest

Last summer, I went on holiday with my family to Costa Rica, in Central America. One day,
after an early breakfast in our hotel, we got on a bus with two other families and drove to
a national park. When we arrived, our guide, Bernardo, was waiting for us all and took us
into the rainforest.

We walked for an hour and like in films about the rainforest, there was howling, buzzing
and chirping everywhere. It was my first trip anywhere so amazing and I couldn’t stop
smiling! Some people asked about dangerous animals, but Bernardo said that there
weren’t any near us.

Bernardo showed us some plants and trees which are used to produce medicines. He also
told us about the way that rainforests reduce greenhouse gases, taking carbon dioxide
from the air and then releasing oxygen. That’s why they’re so important for everyone in
the world.

Then, suddenly, Bernardo pointed at something in a tree. At first, I couldn’t see anything,
but then, I could just make out a sloth! And then, another tiny one! A mother and her
baby were moving extremely slowly towards the canopy. That was the most incredible
thing that happened during our trip.

On the bus back to the hotel, I felt a bit sad. But my parents had Bernardo’s email
address, so we could send him some photos after our holiday. I looked out of the bus
window and I thought, ‘When I’m older, I’m going to be a scientist and study rainforest
animals and plants!’

Example:

3 What does Toni say about the sloths?

b They were coming down from a tree.
c Seeing them was the best part of the day.

[1]
4 On the bus back to the hotel, Toni
a decided something about the future.

Q5.) Read the text about books. For each question, circle the correct answer

My favourite book

Leila

My favourite book is about a village in the middle of a forest. Nobody who isn’t
from that village ever goes there. The people who live there want their life and their
village to be a secret. They’re friends with all the animals, too, even frogs! I’d love
to go to that village, but nobody knows where it is! I’m going to read the book
again, I think.

Fran

My favourite book tells the story of a girl’s life, from the time she’s very small until
she’s a teenager. When she’s small, her family live in a big house in the countryside,
then they move to a flat in the city. She loves the city, but she sometimes misses
her old life, too. When I finished the book, I went back to the first page and started
it again!

Zack

My favourite book is about a boy who goes camping with his older brother in the
mountains. One day, they see an absolutely enormous snake which is as big as a
car! They run away really fast! I don’t like thinking about that snake! But I love the
book because it’s so exciting. I was glad I wasn’t in the mountains with them when I
was reading it, but safe at home!
