I. Read the following text and circle the right answer: (4 x 5p. = 20p.)
One July morning, I woke up in a warm sweat. All I could Think of was to run to the fridge and
get a cold drink, but the refrigerator was broken and everything inside was just as hot as I was. I
walked over to my ventilator, but this one wasn’t working either. Then, I wanted to turn on the
TV set and finally realized that there was something wrong with the electricity in my house. It
was out.
Everything was melting and, later that day I decided to go to the pool to cool off. I dived
right in! After swimming eight laps, I was exhausted. My friend Paul bought an ice cream cone
for me. It was a vanilla ice cream cone with rainbow sprinkles. Somehow I managed to have a lot
of fun that day, even though it was boiling hot.
