Some years ago I worked as a shift worker for a company 30 miles from our house. My shift was from 3 to 11 p.m. At that time we lived out in the countryside, so I had to drive to work on a bumpy road and cross a river on a very old bridge. One afternoon when I left for work, it was raining heavily. It often rained very hard during summer in that area, so I didn’t pay any attention. I finished work that night and started the journey home. Everything was as usual until I left the highway, got back on the road, and came to the bridge. It was foggy and dark out there, and it was impossible to 4 see anything. I was crying because the water had risen up to my knees. I knew that there was a house very near to the river and I needed someone to help. Suddenly, I could feel something moving from behind. I began screaming in panic since I realized that it was nothing but a snake creeping into my car. T F 11. It was raining hard when the writer started going to work. 12. Summer was the dry season in the area where the writer lived. 13. The writer could hardly see anything. 14. The writer saw someone from the house near the river. 15.

MY DAILY ROUTINE My life is always full of activities, so I never have much time for myself. During the week it's the worst. I usually have to get up at half past six even though I would really prefer to sleep much later. I don’t usually have time for breakfast because I have to catch a bus to school at seven o'clock. The bus is usually packed with many people. Classes at school start at a quarter to eight except on Tuesdays when they start at seven. Each lesson is forty- five minutes long with ten minutes break in between. After school I go shopping or just walk around the town for a while. Getting home, I listen to the radio, watch television and maybe get a snack. Then I start doing my homework or help my mom with some housework. Before I know it, the afternoon is gone and it is evening. In my family, we usually eat dinner at about seven o'clock. At dinner we discuss what happened during the day and catch up with each others' lives. Then I have some time to watch the TV news. Sometimes it is an interesting film or a video. On the weekend it is a different story. I sleep late and do whatever I wish with my free time. I can go for a trip with friends, visit relatives or devote more time to my hobbies. I think everyone will agree that weekends are much better than weekdays. 5 Questions 16 – 23 each is followed by four options marked A, B, C, and D.
