PART C. READING: (2points)
Read the letter.
Dear Festival Committee,
I am writing about the Milford Nature Festival which took place last week.
I went to the festival with my two children, four and six. The information on the festival
website said, ‘There is entertainment for all the family.’
My children love face painting. Amy wanted to be a tiger and Jenny wanted to be a monkey.
They had pictures of the animals to show to the face painter. But there was only one face
painter, and there was no other entertainment for young children. We waited for an hour and
then left the line. We went to get something to eat.
My children said their food was good, but the meals were very expensive. They cost more than
their tickets for the festival.
Finally, the festival website said, ‘There is a nature walk at 3.00, with information about all the
flowers and trees from a plant scientist.’ There was nothing else for the children to do, so we
went on the walk. But the person who did the walk did not know anything about the flowers
and trees in the park.
I paid $6 for two child tickets. I would like you to give me the money back.
With best wishes,
Mrs. Williams

II. Read and circle the best options (A, B, C, or D).
There are many different activities to do in my free time, but I love reading books the
most. My father used to take me to bookstores on the weekends when I was a little girl, so I
could pick out my favorite comic books. He also purchased some bedtime storybooks, and he
read them to me every night. That was a wonderful memory. I keep the hobby as a habit even
now. I now enjoy reading books such as novels and science fiction. Novel stories take me to
another world as if I were on a magical journey with Harry Potter, Robinson Crusoe or Tom
Sawyer. I can also learn more about the world, and I could explain such things as why apples
always fall to the ground or why there is often a rainbow after the rain. I sometimes read books
in my room, but I prefer going to my school library. I can borrow many books without having
to pay any money. I particularly enjoy the moment when everyone's attention is drawn to the
books in their hands. The library is quiet and everyone appears to get lost in their exciting
world. Reading is an exciting free time activity that I enjoy.

there.
