    The child was suddenly loving and kissing the parent because they had bought their school report. The parent notes that the child's face was clean for once and their clothes were without creases, which was unusual. The parent wanted to take a closer look because they could not believe that it was really their child, who is normally unclean and disheveled. The child's behavior changed because they had received good marks on their school report.

    Question 5

    Read the poem below carefully. Then, answer questions (a) – (d).

    News Break

    Now why so loving, darling, But surely you’re some stranger,


    And why the sudden kiss? No rage or hullabaloo.
    You’d help me with some little jobs? Come closer, let me look, dear,
    For goodness sake, what’s this? Can this be REALLY you?

    You face is clean for once, dear. Now were you struck by lightning
    Your clothes without a crease. Or were you stunned at sport?
    You saved your luncheon money? Ah... now I see the reason.
    Will wonders never cease? You’ve bought your school report!

    No dropping of your school books, Max Fatchen


    No shrieking, childish treble.
    Today you are a lamb, love,
    Where yesterday a rebel.

    1. King Arthur – (retold by Janet Hardy-Gould)


    2. The Swiss Family Robinson – Johann D Wyss
    3. 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea – Jules Verne
