B. Yes, I will buy D. No, I hate you A YEAR WITH OVERSEAS VOLUNTEERS I was with Overseas Volunteers (OV) for a year after leaving university, and I was sent to an isolated village in Chad, about 500 km from the capital N'Djamena. Coming from a rich country, I got quite a shock as conditions were much harder than I had expected. But after a few days, I soon got used to living there. The people were always very friendly and helpful, and soon I began to appreciate how beautiful the countryside was. One of my jobs was to supply the village with water. The well was a long walk away. And the women used to spend a long time every day carrying heavy pots backward and forwards. So I contacted the organization and arranged to have some pipes delivered. We built a simple pipeline and a pump, and it worked the first time. It wasn't perfect - there were a few leaks, but it made a great difference to the villagers, who had never had running water before. And not only did we have running water, but in the evening it was hot because the pipe had been lying in the sun all day. All in all, I think my time with OV was a good experience. Although it was not well-paid, it was well worth doing, and I would recommend it to anyone who was considering working for a charity. Question 4. The villagers ______ A. had many pineline before. B. had no well at all. C. had never used running water before. D. had arranged to have some pipes delivered. Question 5. The word 'there' in paragraph 1 refers to ______. A. a rich country C. an isolated village in Chad Question 6. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. The author didn’t get used to living in that isolated village at all. B. The author had earned a lot of money by working with OV. C. The villagers had ever had running water before. D. Supplying the village with water was one of the author’s jobs. Question 7. How were the people in that isolated village? A. friendly and unhelpful. C. friendly and helpful. VOCABULARY AND GRAMMAR: Choose the best answer to complete the following sentence: Question 8.
