Travelling was always something Peter had wanted to do and
as he got older he began to plan. He decided that he must leave his home in
Asia to get a good sense of the world. He thought that he should probably try
and visit each continent. He sat down in front of his laptop and listed the
continents: Oceania, Asia, Europe, Africa, North America, South America,
Antarctica. Some of the continents he knew, but he was shocked to see that the
closest continent he could visit was Africa. He had thought that it was a long
way away.
It looked like planning this would be fun. When he looked at
different maps of the world it turned out that there were different quantities
and names of the continents which confused him a lot. Before he continued he
asked his father’s advice about how many continents there were. His father told
him that for them, in their schools, they were taught that there were 7
continents. And although some other countries taught that there were 6 or 5,
and that he should stick to what he understood for this project of his.
For the purpose of travel, Peter decided that he would use
the system he knew, and this meant he would have to visit 6 more continents. He
looked at the maps of the world and decided that he could go and visit his
uncle in Africa and then his sister and her family in Europe really easily. He
took this idea to his father who agreed with him although he thought it would
be simpler to go east to Oceania. Peter knew that this was just because Oceania
was where his father had always wanted to go because his brother lived there.

Where does Peter live?
A. Asia
B. Europe
C. North America
D. Africa
16. Which continent was closest to where Peter lived?
A. Europe

A. computer was not working properly

C. advice from his father
D. distance he had to travel
18. What does Peter’s father think it is best to do? He
should _______.
A. stick with what he knows
B. change his whole plan
C. get different information
D. update his knowledge
19. Who did Peter want to visit second? His _______.
A. brother
B. uncle
C. father

Fiona walked across the kitchen to the far end where she saw
a door leading to the backyard of the house. When she tried to open the door to
the back she struggled because it was locked. She thought that this was strange
because it had never been locked before and she had no idea where the key was.
There was music playing in the background and she noticed that it was her
father’s favourite song about a cowboy or something; it wasn’t a tune that she
particularly favoured.
She chose to go and find her mother who she thought might be
at the front of the house on the veranda with her uncle and aunty. It turned
out that her mother was with them and that she had left the key on the table in
the kitchen. Fiona went back and checked but couldn’t find it. She looked
around and eventually found it on the sideboard next to the fruit bowl.
When Fiona eventually got outside into the back garden it
had started to rain lightly and it made the garden look like a movie set. She
set up her table and got her tea and book and sat down to relax. As she did she
heard a loud banging noise coming from over the wall. This was not good, and it
was really vexing her and ruining her quiet time. Fiona decided to text her
neighbour who was in the same year as her at school. She asked what all the
noise was about and how long it would last. There was no reply to her text, so
she packed up and went inside again.
