ENGLISH TEST YEAR 2019- 2020

TEXT

I quarrelled with my mother and ran away to join my father, i travelled on the roof of a train all the
way to KAZAKHISTAN. I was fifteen. I wanted to become a man and on my own feet. At that time my
father was working as a chief of a geological expedition.

When i arrived, i agreed with him not to let the other know that i was his son “otherwise you will be
favoured. And that is not going to make a man of you, he said.

So i joined the expedition as a labourer.

Among many other things, i learned to break the ground with a pick, extract selected pieces of rock
with a mallet, (.....) and to light a fire in driving rain. But yet i couldn‘t swim. Nobody knew that, and i
lived in fear of being found out and disgraced.

One day i was walking with a geologist along a narrow mountain path above a noisy stream. We both
carried knapsacks filled with specimens of rocks. Suddenly the geologist took false step and the
ground gave way under his feet. He tried to catch hold of a bush, missed it, and feel head long from
the steep bank, down into the river. Within seconds i saw him trashing about in the foaming water,
struggling to keep a float, but his knapsack was dragging him down.

I flung mine off my shoulders, whipped my knife in one hand, and jumped in. I swam hard up to the
geologist without realising, cut the straps of his knapsack, and we both scrambled ashore… IT was
only then that i remembered i didn‘t know how to swim.

And from that day on, i have known that the best way of learning something is to take a leap into the
unknown without looking back. That way, you learn or perish.
