Subject : My New City

Hi, Bim
How is it going? I hope you'll be fine. Here, I'd like to tell you about my new city. Frankly, San
Francisco is my favorite city in the United States. It is beautiful, clean, not too big, and it has something for
everybody. I love the streets and buildings in San Francisco. The streets wind up and down the hills, with beautiful
old brick and wooden houses on either side.
And you know what? One of my favorite things to do in San Francisco is to ride the cable car. It
takes me to most parts of the city. It's not a very comfortable ride, but it's exciting and the views I get from the
car are wonderful. And I like the weather in San Francisco. It never gets too cold or too hot. The summers are
pleasant. The fresh breezes blow off the ocean and the sky is always blue. It rains quite a lot in the winter, but it
never gets very cold.
Another thing I enjoy about the city is the restaurants. The seafood restaurants, with crabs and
lobster, are my favorites. I can also get great Chinese, Japanese, American and European food in San Francisco.
Well, that's my entire story about my new city. If you are interested in coming to my city, please tell me as soon
as possible. I will prepare the comfortable place for you. Okay, see you at my city.

Your best friend,


Jojo

yet been beaten," said the hare arrogantly, "when I put forth my full speed. I challenge anyone here to race with
me. "The tortoise said quietly, "I accept your challenge." "That is a good joke," said the hare. "I could dance
around you all the way." "Alright, keep on your boasting until you've beaten," answered the tortoise. "Shall we
race?"
Subsequently, a course was fixed and a start was made. The hare darted almost out of sight at once, but soon

Hi Marta!

Well, I'm back! I had a great time in Borneo with my cousins. It was really fascinating moment. What about Borneo?
By the way, the place was interesting, but I don't think we spent enough time there.
When we had a plan to go to the village through the river, there were too many people for the long boat, so we
travelled there by a bus. The village was fantastic. I loved the house in which we would spend the night, but there
weren't enough rooms for all of us to sleep there, so we decided to sleep in the tents.
The first night was absolutely great since we made an opened area party with some villagers, but I ate too much spicy
food, and so I felt ill in the next morning! The second night there was jungle trek-lots of interesting things there, but
not enough time to see everything. Anyway, I'll see you next weekend and show you all my photos. See you then.

Love.
Riyani

When I was 8 years old, I used to go for music class two blocks away from home. Whenever I had to pay fees to the
music class, my grandpa would accompany me so that he could hand over the money safely.
One day my grandpa gave me the fees (100 rupees I guess) and asked me to take it carefully as he could not come. I
was scared that I would lose the money. I kept it in my notebook. While walking I looked at it every few seconds to
make sure that it was there. To my surprise, when I opened the book half way to the class, the money wasn't there! I
didn’t know how I lost it.
I came back all the way searching for it and couldn't find it. I was running here and there which made a dog mad and
it started chasing me. I ran home crazily. When I reached home, I was panting and crying terribly. I was still in shock
that when my grandparents asked me what happened, I just said "Dog... Dog". They thought a dog actually bit me and
were very tense. When the situation settled down, I told them what had happened. I was relieved because they did
not scold me for losing the money.

Text for question number 29 and 30.
Millions of bison once thundered across North America. These massive animals, characterized by their long, shaggy
brow coats, have poor eyesight but acute hearing and an excellent sense of smell.
Historically, the American bison played an essential role in shaping the ecology of the Great Plains. They graze heavily
on native grasses and disturb the soil with their hooves, allowing many plant and species to flourish.
A bison's thick fur offers great protection against the harsh elements of the American plains. Their winter coat is so
thick and well insulated that snow can cover their backs without melting.
Bison are adapted to the extreme weather conditions of the Great Plains, from summer heat to winter cold and
blizzards. In winter, bison can dig through deep snow with their heads to reach the vegetation below.
Bison often rub, roll, and wallow. Wallowing creates a saucer-like depression in the earth called a wallow. This was
once a common feature of the plains; usually these wallows are dust bowls without any vegetation.
Bulls and cows do not mingle until breeding session. Dominant bull "tend" to cows, following the cow until the cow
chooses to mate. During this period, the blocks the cow's vision so that she may not see other competing bulls, and
bellows at males striving for the cow's attention.

29. Why does bison dig through deep snow?


A. To find vegetation beneath it in order to feed
B. To make a place for bison to wallow
C. To block the cow's vision during the breeding session
D. To clear their way to migrate to another place

A. bison's thick fur cannot protect them from the harsh elements
B. bison only mingle with cows in breeding session
C. bison have great hearing but poor sense of smell
D. bison have no role in shaping the ecology of the Great Plains
