A trip by plane.

An American farmer wanted to make an air trip. There was an airport close to his farm. So one morning he came there to ask if he could make an air trip.

“You see”, he said to one of the pilots, “I have never flown before, but I would like to.” The pilot told him that the price of the trip was 10 dollars for a ten-minute trip. “Oh, it’s a dollar a minute”, the farmer said. “Can’t you reduce the price?” The pilot thought for a minute and then said, “I won’t take any money if you don’t say a word during the whole trip.” The farmer agreed.

“By the way”, said the pilot,” you may take your wife too.” The farmer was happy.

          The next day at three o’clock the farmer and his wife arrived at the airport. Soon they were up in the air. The plane flew at a high speed, it went up and down very quickly, but the passengers didn’t say a word.

“You are brave people,” said the pilot. “I thought you would be afraid to fly.”

“Well,” said the farmer, “I am glad, I will not have to pay for the trip, as I didn’t have to say a word, but I wanted to speak to you when my wife fell out of the plane.

The King and the Painter.

There was a king who thought he could paint very well. His pictures were very bad but the people to whom he showed them were afraid to tell him the truth. They all said that his pictures were wonderful and they liked them very much.

One day the king showed his picture to a great painter who lived in his country and said, “I’d like to know what you think of my pictures. Do you like them?”

The painter looked at the king’s pictures and said, “My king, I believe that your pictures are bad and you will never be a good artist.”

The king got very angry and sent the painter to prison. Two years had passed and the king wanted to see the painter again.

“I was angry with you,” he said, “because you didn’t like my pictures. Now you’re a free man again and I am your friend.” The king talked with the painter and invited him for dinner. The dinner was wonderful. And they enjoyed it very much.

After dinner the king showed his pictures to the painter again and asked, “Well, how do you like them now?” The painter turned to a soldier who was standing behind him and said, “Take me back to prison.”

Write down if the following statements are true or false.

1. The king was proud of his pictures.
2. The painter told the king the truth.
3. Some years later the king became a good painter.
4. The painter returned to the prison.

Five miles across the water from the town of Reachton lies the group of islands known as the Herndigs. The main island is St George. Separated by a narrow channel of water is St George's little sister, St Margaret. People first lived on these islands 1,500 years ago. By the 1950s population had gone down to below twenty and in 1960 the last person left the islands. But in 1991 two families moved back and since then more people have followed. Tourists now visit these islands regularly to enjoy the beautiful scenery.

Visit the one shop on the islands, which sells butter, cheese and bread produced by the families who live there. The produce is also taken by boat to restaurants in Reachton where it can be enjoyed by visitors to the area. Perhaps more interestingly, a range of perfumes are made from the wild flowers and herbs which grow on the island and can be bought in the shop. They are produced mainly for export and are very special. So a visit to the shop is a must!

St George island is easily explored on foot, but in the interests of safety, visitors are requested to keep to the main footpaths. From where the boat lands, go along the cliff until you reach a steep path signposted to the church. When you get there it is worth spending a moment in this lovely old building. Carry on along the same path which continues to climb to the highest point on the island. There is a wonderful view from here along the coastline. If it is warm, you may like to finish your day relaxing on the beach. Priory beach on the eastern side of the island is safe for swimming. Sandtop Bay on the western side is the other sandy beach but swimming is not advised here.

It is possible to hire a boat across to the islands or you can take one of the boat trips which depart from Reachton harbour in summer, Monday — Friday. The islands are always open to the visitors apart from on Sundays. Buy a ticket for a boat trip from the kiosk in Reachton harbour. The charge for landing on the islands is included in the ticket but, if you take your own boat, remember to take some money. The crossing takes thirty minutes and boats run every fifteen minutes.

Before you set off on a trip, visit the exhibition centre which tells the history of the islands and gives information about birds and wildlife you may see when you get there.

5.        Why had the population of the island gone down before 1961?
A    Because people had left the island.

B    Because the island is very far from Great Britain.

C    Because of the environment.

D    Because the islands had disappeared.

6.        What souvenirs can tourists buy on the islands?
A    Some exported diary products.

B    Some perfumes.

C    Some food and perfumes.

D    Some bread.

7.        Why should visitors keep to the main footpaths?
A    Because the islands are not inhabited.

B    Because the roads are very bad.

C    Because it is dangerous.

D    Because there are no rescue teams.

8.        Where is it better to swim?

A        You can not swim anywhere.

B        From the Sandtop Bay.

C        From the Priory Beach.

D        In the Reachton harbour.
