answer, A, B, C or D.
ALL SAINTS' AND ALL SOULS'
ON a week-day morning a small
congregation, consisting mainly of women and
girls, rose from its knees in the church called
All Saints'. They were about to disperse, when
a smart footstep, entering the porch and
coming up the central passage, arrested their
attention. Everybody looked. A young cavalry
soldier in a red uniform strode up the aisle,
with an embarrassment which was only the
more marked by the determination upon his
face to show none. A slight flush mounted
his cheek but he never paused till he came

close to the altar railing. Here for a moment
he stood alone.
‘Tis a wedding!’ murmured some of the
women, brightening. ‘Let's wait!’ The majority
again sat down. There was a creaking of
machinery with a quarter-jack and small bell
beneath it, the automaton being driven by
the same clock machinery that struck the large
bell in the tower. The jack had struck half-past
eleven. ‘Where's the woman?’ whispered
some of the spectators. The young sergeant
was as silent as he was still. The silence grew
to be a noticeable thing as the minutes went
on, and nobody else appeared, and not
a soul moved.
The rattle of the quarter-jack again, its blows
for three quarters, caused many of the
congregation to start that artificial coughing
which betrays a nervous suspense. But the
soldier never moved. There he stood, upright
as a column, his cap in his hand. The clock
ticked on. The women threw off their
nervousness, and giggling became more
frequent. Then came a dead silence.
Everyone was waiting for the end. The
sergeant had not yet turned; every woman in
the church was waiting to see his face, and he
appeared to know it. At last he did turn, and
stalked resolutely down the nave, braving
them all.
Opposite the church was a paved square.
The young man on leaving the door went to
cross the square, when, in the middle, he met
a woman. The expression of her face, which
had been one of intense anxiety, sank at the
sight of his nearly to terror. ‘Well?’ he said.
‘O, Frank – I made a mistake! – I thought
that church with the spire was All Saints', and
I was at the door at half-past eleven to
a minute as you said. I waited till a quarter to
twelve, and found then that I was in All Souls'.
But I wasn't much frightened, for I thought it
could be tomorrow as well.’

‘Shall it be tomorrow, Frank?’ she asked.
‘Tomorrow! I don't go through that experience
again for some time’.
‘But after all,’ she expostulated in a trembling
voice, ‘the mistake was not such a terrible
thing! Now, dear Frank, when shall it be?’ ‘Ah,
when? God knows!’ he said, and turning from
her walked rapidly away.

DON’T SPOIL YOUR BIG DAY
Your wedding day should be the happiest day
of your life but it can also be one of the most
stressful and expensive days too. How can you
make sure your wedding day is unforgettable
for the right reasons?
Firstly, consider your budget carefully. Yes,
Test Unit 2

a wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime experience but
you don’t want to be paying for it for the rest of
your life. The most important thing is that it is
the day when two people who love each other
are joined together as one. That will happen
whether you have a small party in your home
town for your immediate family and close
friends or if you get married on a Caribbean
beach.
Secondly, the more special and unique your
wedding day is, the more can go wrong. In your
local town, you will probably know caterers,
photographers and DJs who you can trust. All
the people on your guest list will be able to
afford to come. Things may go wrong but they
won’t be major disasters and will be the sort of
things you can laugh at in the future. If you
travel somewhere exotic, you may have
delayed or cancelled flights, upset stomachs or
extreme weather conditions that could
completely ruin your big day. Special friends
may not be there because of the cost or lack of
time.
Whatever you decide, make sure it is a joint
decision. Both sets of parents can be consulted
for advice, especially if they are paying for it.
However, it isn’t their day and they shouldn’t
dictate to the bride and groom who is going to
be invited or any other details.
Finally, your wedding is the first day of your
married life. Whatever happens, try to enjoy it.
4 The writer says that people should think
carefully about
A the likely weather conditions on their
wedding day.
B the likely cost of their wedding.
C the best kind of food for their wedding.
D the guest list for their wedding.
5 Overall, the writer thinks that
A you should laugh at problems however
serious they are.
B it is important to let both sets of parents
make decisions for you.
C a wedding day is special because of
what it means for the bride and groom.
D expensive weddings are more stressful
but also more special.
