Last year when I was in the seventh grade, I experienced an unforgettable incident. It happened

on Monday, on the first day of the new semester. When I opened my eyes, it was almost six

fifteen in the morning. The school minibus was due in another fifteen minutes.

I rushed to the door. In my haste, I forgot all about the slippery doormat. It slid under my feet,

and I fell. Luckily, I got no serious wound. Before anyone could see me, I quickly picked myself

up and limped off to the bathroom. I managed to brush my teeth and have a bath as fast as I

could. Then, I pulled on my school uniform without further mishap. Then, I discovered that my

name tag was missing.

The precious minutes ticked away as I hunted for it frantically. Finally, after much muttering for

myself, I found it in a small pocket in my school bag. I pinned it on hurriedly, pricking my finger

in the process. Then, I took my blue OSIS tie and hat for the new semester ceremony. Then, I

ran to the kitchen. Luckily, my mother had my breakfast ready.

I took a quick sip of the chocolate milk and almost dropped the mug. The milk was scalding hot!

Leaving it alone, I rapidly took bread out of the fridge and ate it while sitting in front of the

fridge. I hardly swallowed the first bite when the school minibus arrived. Then, I grabbed my

school bag in one hand, my shoes in the other, and dashed out. My friends rocked with laughter

as I put on my shoes on the minibus.

That morning is a good lesson for me. I promise myself I would never do that again.

What did the writer do to the bread after the minibus arrived?

• He/She put it back into the fridge.

• He/She gave it to his/her mother.

• He/She dipped it into the milk.

• He/She carried it by his/her hands.

"Once upon a time, in a small village nestled between lush green hills, there lived two brothers named

Jack and Tom. Jack was the older of the two, known for his adventurous spirit and daring escapades.

Tom, on the other hand, was more reserved, preferring the quiet comforts of home.

One sunny morning, Jack and Tom decided to embark on a journey to explore the neighboring

forests. Jack, ever the adventurous one, led the way, eager to discover new sights and sounds. As

they ventured deeper into the woods, they stumbled upon a towering waterfall, the most magnificent

they had ever seen. Jack declared it the most beautiful waterfall in the entire region, its cascading

waters mesmerizing to behold.

Undeterred by the rugged terrain, Jack urged Tom to climb higher, promising an even more

breathtaking view from the top. Reluctantly, Tom followed his brother, his heart pounding with both

fear and excitement. Finally reaching the summit, they were greeted by a panoramic vista of rolling

hills and winding rivers, stretching as far as the eye could see. Tom gasped in awe, agreeing with

Jack that it was the most spectacular view they had ever witnessed.

As they made their way back home, Jack regaled Tom with tales of their adventure, embellishing

each detail with more enthusiasm than the last. Tom smiled, grateful for the opportunity to

experience such unforgettable moments with his brother. Though Jack may have been the more

adventurous of the two, Tom knew that their bond was the strongest force of all, surpassing any

mountain they may conquer or waterfall they may encounter."

Tom eventually agreed to follow Jack to the summit because ...

• he wanted to beat Jack.

• he had no other choice.

• he was very excited to do so.

On a clear day, there is a village is far from the city centre. The village is surrounded by natural

beauty with extraordinary resources.

Among the village, in a modest house, lived a daughter named Clara with her elderly mother. Clara

is an only child. And her father had long died from an illness he had suffered for a long time. To

meet their daily needs, her mother had to look for firewood in the forest and then sell it.

One day, Clara's mother fell ill and was unable to work.

"Mom, let me replace you to look for firewood in the forest," said Clara.

"Alright daughter, forgive the mother who cannot help, be careful when you reach the forest later."

Her mother said in a sad tone.

Arriving in the forest, Clara rushed to look for fallen wooden branches. Suddenly her eyes were shot

by a light that shone not far from where she stood. Clara immediately approached the source of the

light. And how surprised she was to see a very beautiful little girl have wings coming out of

sunflowers.

"You ... who are you, why do you suddenly surprise me?" Said Clara

"I came out because I saw a kind child like you. I am the guardian of this sunflower; I care for this

sunflower. ‘Said the little girl.

"Come here, I can help you ease the burden of earning money. Take these sunflowers and plant them

in your yard and you can harvest them in short time, then sell them in the city. " Said the little girl.

Then Clara with confidence and happiness, took the sunflowers to plant at home. She ran home and

immediately told her mother.

"I will plant these sunflowers with great effort, Mom." said Clara. And her mother allowed it.

A few days later, the sunflower seeds can be harvested. Clara rushes to take and then sell it in the

city. She walked alone by bringing the results of her harvest. Clara was very excited even though the

distance from the city was very far from her residence. Clara was determined to be replaced as a

medicine for her sick mother.

Unexpectedly, the sunflowers seeds earn quite a lot of money. Clara bought medicine for her mother

and the rest was handed over for savings. Although it looks small, the daughter's business can help

her mother with the hard work that she has been doing all this time. Until finally Clara and her mother

continued to live by farming and looking for firewood.
