Tristan
Last night I was ecstatic. The play put me on real
high. Everyone said I was wonderful as Tom
Sawyer. I know I said my lines perfectly and
everyone else was brilliant too. The paint on the
scenery had actually dried and none of it fell over.
The sound system worked and none of the lights
shattered with the heat. It was all wonderful.
40 Chesterlea Grange is a special school for
children who
A have physical disabilities
B are brilliant in Mathematics
C can do well in drama classes
D enjoy working with computers

Today, I feel like a tyre that has burst, totally

deflated. Last night was the last time that James
and I will be at school together. It’s the grand
parting of the ways but I’m not sure I’m ready for
it. Mum says she is worried about James, but
what about me? At least James will have all his
friends at his new school. Nearly everyone in our
class is going to Highfields. James should be really
happy there. But no one is going to Chesterlea
Grange with me. It’s miles away and I’ll only be
able to come home at the weekends. I wish that
time could have stopped still last night, and we
could have stayed at our school forever.

38 Last night Tristan felt ecstatic. That

means he was
A very happy
B a little confused
C highly successful
D completely surprised

39 Which of the following statement is NOT

reason why Tristan feels totally deflated
A He will miss all his friends
B He will be staying away from home
C He cannot act as Tom Sawyer again
D His brother will be going to a different
school
