Test paper 7th grade

I. Read and answer: (5p x 4 = 20p)

We arrived in the Lofoten Islands in Norway on a bright July evening. At this time of year, the
sun never goes down so it never gets dark because the islands are so far north. We sat for hours,
watching the sunlight shining on the mountains across the water.
We spent the next few days exploring the islands in brilliant sunshine. We travelled by car, going
from one island to another by bridge or tunnel. These bridges and tunnels have replaced the
ferries between the largest islands.
People on the islands have always made a living from fishing and farming. Fishing is still an
essential part of the economy but, although every culture is still important in some areas, the
number of farms has decreased in the past thirty years.
