Now I ______________ you a story about the Morton family. This family ____________
five members. They are all very strange people. They ___________ next door to us. The
neighbours mostly ______________________ with them except when they ______________
their eccentric hobbies. For example Robert, the father ___________ shooting snails. He
__________ a special gun for this hobby. He _______________ about three snails a day, but
as I can hear now he ________________ a new gun which is even louder than the old one.
Mrs Morton, Bianca is a cloud-eater. She _________ to catch clouds with a long stick, and
when she ______________ one (as she __________) she ___________ some sugar on it and
____________ it. At the moment she _____________________ her cloudcatcher, because it
is broken. I think she _____________ to stick it with a glue, or maybe she _____________ a
corkscrew, I can’t see clearly.
Tom, the older son ____________ telling tales to the grass. Every day he ___________ to
the garden even if it _____________ heavily, because he _____________, if he (not)
______________ a tale at least to one blade of grass, they will stop growing, and they will
die. Now he _______________ to a yellowish blade of grass which ___________________
at the entrance. He ____________________a tale about an ant hero who (always)
_______________ for the green and polite grass.
The younger son, Tim now______________ nothing as he __________________ for his
brother to finish with the story. His hobby is stroking ants, and he _____________ that
during his brother’s story the ants _______________________ so it’s very easy to stroke
them. He (not) ______________ his hobby every day, because he is also a great tree teacher.
He ___________ the trees how to grow. While he ___________, he __________________ a
new lesson for the apple tree in their garden.
Molly, the youngest in the family ___________ ladybirds’ bulks. She _____________ at
least one extra fleck on each ladybird. Now she _______________ the perfect black colour
which is made of several different colours. Today she ______________ red, green and
purple, as I see.
I _____________ a great telescope, because my hobby is to watch neighbours and see what
they ________________ in their free times.
4. Reading comprehension
This easy American pancake recipe makes really light and fluffy pancakes.
Connect the ingredients with the logical measurments (7p):
135g melted butter (allowed to cool slightly
1 tsp (teaspoon) egg, lightly beaten
½ tsp milk
2 tbsp (tablespoon) caster sugar
130ml baking powder
1 large salt
2 tbsp plain flour
Put the steps of preparation in order. (6p)
………Heat a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat and add a knob of butter.
When it's melted, add a ladle of batter (or two if your frying pan is big enough to cook
two pancakes at the same time). It will seem very thick but this is how it should be.
………Serve with lashings of real maple syrup and extra butter, if you like.
………Sift the flour, baking powder, salt and caster sugar into a large bowl. In a
separate bowl or jug, lightly whisk together the milk and egg, then whisk in the melted
butter.
……….Wait for about 3 minutes until the top of the pancake begins to bubble, and the
edges begin to set. Flip it over and cook for another two minutes until both sides are
golden brown and the pancake has risen to about 1cm/½in thick. If the pancake is too
dark, reduce the heat slightly for the next round.
……….Repeat until all the batter is used up. You can keep the pancakes warm in a
low oven, but they taste best fresh out the pan.
……….Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture and, using a fork, beat until you
have a smooth batter. Any lumps will soon disappear with a little mixing. Let the
batter stand for a few minutes.
