Grade 6
Passage 1:Oh, no! Here comes Mrs Smith and her four children. Every Saturday night it is the same story. The shopkeeper is watching them and his hand is on his head.
Mrs Smith is smiling and pushing her cart around. Amy is only four. She is sitting in the cart and crying. She wants an ice cream. Mrs Smith isn’t listening. Daniel is putting food in the cart when his mother isn’t looking. He’s putting chocolates, candies and potato chips in it. The shopkeeper is talking to Kitty. He is telling her she can’t eat the apple. He’s taking bananas from her, too. Another shopkeeper is pulling Tom with her. Tom knocks over five bottles of Coke!
Thank goodness, Mrs Smith finishes shopping. “Good-bye.” Mrs Smith is smiling at the shopkeeper, “We’ll see you next week.”
Passage 2:Many people are waiting for the train. Some are reading newspapers and some are saying goodbye to their friends.
Doctor Wang, Mr Li and Mr Chen are talking so happily. Then the guard calls loudly, “The train is going to leave. Hurry up, please.” The three men hear the guard and two of them jump onto the train quickly before it moves. One is left behind. It is Dr Wang. He looks very sad. The guard comes to him and says, “Don’t feel bad. The next train will come in ten minutes.” “I know.” Dr Wang says, “But it is my train. My friends only come to say goodbye to me.” |
