Test paper 6th grade
A. Read the text carefully and answer the questions: 15p
Hi to you all, last weekend was really great. The weather was so nice that my Dad, Joe decided to take
us to the seaside. There was Sally, my mum, my sister Kate and me of course, the best! First, we got up early,
then we all had a big breakfast, Dad drank too much coffee as usual! Kate helped Mum to prepare the lunch
basket. I gave Dad a hand with loading the car, so we put some beach towels, a beach umbrella, deck chairs,
and all our beach toys in the car, it was full. Then it was time to go. Dad drove all the way to Brighton.
It was very hot, so there were lots of people on the beach. My sister and I played with our toys, we made
sandcastles with Mum, and we went swimming in the sea with Dad, but the water was still a bit cold!! We had
lunch on the beach then we played ball together. A little later in the afternoon, Dad just relaxed and read his
Sunday paper, Mum sunbathed to get a nice tan, and we went on playing with other kids on the beach. At the
end of the day, before going back home, we went to a nice café on the pier, and Dad bought us ice creams
which we ate happily, while he had a beer and Mum a nice cup of tea.
Then it was time to go back home. When we got back home, we helped our parents to unload the car,
then we put everything away nice and tidy for next weekend. In the evening we revised our lesson for the
following Monday. But I know there will be other great weekends even before the summer holidays!
Cheers, Sam
