Part 6
Questions 41 – 45
Read the text and questions below.

For each question, circle the correct letter A, B, C or D.
Door-to-door poet
The poet Rowan McCabe works in an unusual way. He knocks on strangers’ doors in
Newcastle, UK, and offers to write a poem for anyone who answers. If the person accepts, he
interviews them about their life, and then returns some days later to perform the poem. ‘I
didn’t know at first if it would work,’ he says. In fact many are surprisingly willing to share their
thoughts and stories. However, not everyone is keen. On his first trip, one woman looked at
him doubtfully and asked what he was selling. He explained that the poems were free, but
she shut the door anyway. One man who wasn’t interested told Rowan to talk to his wife
instead.
Rowan was only the second person in his family to go to university and the first to choose a
career in the arts. ‘Some of my relatives don’t get what I do,’ he admits, ‘they encourage me,
but worry I won’t make enough money from poetry. One of my grandads was a mechanic and
the other was a builder. It’s strange to them that I don’t do that type of work.’
Rowan posts the poems on his blog, along with information about the people he wrote them
for. ‘The point of this is to get everyone to think more about people they don’t know – why we
sometimes find strangers scary, and what it means to discover what we have in common with
them. I want to show that there are lots of different kinds of people in this country.’ To that
end, he wants to take his one-man door-to-door poetry project all over Britain during the next
few months. Then he plans to turn the poems, and the stories of the people in them, into a
show.
41 What is the writer trying to do in this article?
A encourage people to study poetry

B share the story of an unusual job
C suggest work that students can do
D explain how poems are normally written
