PART 3 -Read the text and questions below, for each question mark the letter
corresponding to the correct answer (A,B, C or D).
Winter Driving
Rule Number One for driving on icy roads is to drive smoothly. Uneven
movements can make a car suddenly very difficult to control. So every
time you ether turn the wheel, touch the brakes of increase your speed,
you must be as gentle and slow as possible. Imagine you are driving
with a full cup of hot coffee on the seat next to you. Drive so that you
wouldn’t spill it.
Rule Number Two is to pay attention to what might happen. The more
ice there is, the further down the road you have to look. Test how long
it takes to stop by gently braking. Remember that you may be driving
more quickly than you think. In general, allow double your normal
stopping distance when the road is wet, three times this distance on
snow, and even more on ice. Try to stay in control of your car at all
times and you will avoid trouble.

Planting Trees
This spring, our teacher suggested we should get involved in a green project and
plant some trees around the school. Everyone thought it was a great idea, so we
started looking online for the best trees to buy. 1 …………….. If we wanted them
to grow properly, they had to be the right type - but there were so many
different available! So our teacher suggested that we should look for trees that
grew naturally in our part of the world. 2 ……………….. They’d also be more suitable
for the wildlife here.
Then we had to think about the best place for planting the trees. We learnt that
trees are happiest where they have room to grow, with plenty of space for their
branches. The trees might get damaged close to the school playgrounds, for
example. 3 …………………. Finally, we found a quiet corner close to the school garden
- perfect!
Once we’d planted the trees, we knew we had to look after them carefully. We all
took turns to check the leaves regularly and make sure they had no strange spots
or marks on them. 4 ……………………. And we decided to check the following spring in
case the leaves turned yellow too soon, as that could also mean the tree was sick.
We all knew that we wouldn’t be at the school anymore by the time the trees grew
tall, and that was a bit sad. But we’d planted the trees to benefit not only the
environment, but also future students at the school. 5 …………………… And that
thought really cheered us up!
