Part 5: Read the passage and choose the best answer. San Francisco is where I grew up between the ages of two and ten and where I lived for a period when I was about 13 and again as a married man from the ages of 37 to 51. So quite a big slice of my life has been spent there. My mother, who is now 90, still lives in Los Gatos, about 60 miles south of San Francisco. Even though I have since lived in Switzerland and settled in London over 25 years ago. I have kept property in California for sentimental reasons. I was born in New York and love the United States. It is still a land of enormous drive, strength, imagination and opportunity. I know it well, having played in every town and, during the war, in every army camp. I have grown new roots in London as I did in Switzerland and if I am asked now where I want to live permanently. I would say London. But I still always remain an American citizen. Climatically, San Francisco and London are similar and so are the people who settle in both cities. San Francisco is sophisticated, and like London, has many parks and squares. Every day my sister and I were taken to play in the parks as children. We had an English upbringing in terms of plenty of fresh air and out door games. I didn’t go to school. My whole formal education consisted of some three hours when I was five. I was sent to school but came home at noon on the first day and said I didn’t enjoy it, hadn’t learned anything and couldn’t see the point of a lot of children sitting restlessly while a teacher taught from a big book. My parents decided wisely I think that school was not for me and I never went back. My mother then took over my education and brought up my two sisters and me rather in the way of an educated English lady. The emphasis was on languages and reading rather than sciences and mathematics. Sometimes she taught us herself, but we also had other teachers and we were kept to a strict routine. About once a week we walked to Golden Gate Park which led down to the sea and on our walks my mother taught me to read music. One day I noticed a small windmill in the window of a shop we passed on our way back to the park and I remember now how my heart yearned for it. I couldn’t roll my “r”s when I was small and my mother who was a perfectionist regarding pronunciation, said if I could pronounce and ‘r’ well I would have the windmill. I practised and practised and one morning woke everyone up with ‘r’s. I got the windmill. I usually get the thing I want in life but work for them and dream of them. 1.
