The First Term Examination


Part One: Reading an Interpretation: (15 points)
Read the text carefully then do the activities

Dear Wendy,
I’ve found your address on the Internet. I noticed that you are from Australia. So, I’m
writing you this email in order to exchange information about each other.
My name is Alan, I’m British and I’m 17 years old. I am a secondary school student.
This year, I have an important exam to take. I live with my family in the central part of
London, not very far from Hyde Park where I often do some jogging with my schoolmates.
I have two sisters and a brother and I’m the eldest. My father is a farmer and he is very
successful in his job while my mother is a teacher.
During the week, I’m busy with my studies, so I always prepare my schoolwork. I
rarely go out but when I have a free time, I sometimes join friends to play tennis. In future,
I want to be a doctor.
I’m interested in discovering foreign countries and Learn about their customs. Next
time, let me know more about your country and make me dream about its wonderful
aspect.
I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Best wishes,
Alan
