Paragraph 2: This is a story about my grandfather. She was my favorite grandmother, and the best
grandmother in the world.
Everyone I used to know my Grandma because she was kind to everyone. She kept me the house in very
nice order and whenever one of my uncles or aunties got married or something they could leave all the
arrangements for my Grandma. She made everything look so easy and perfect.
In August 1974, she started to get sick. All my family members were really worried about Grandma’s
health, They did everything for her but in November she died in hospital. It was a shock to everyone
because they loved her so much. When she was dead, everything seemed to change. And when Christmas
came that year, it was quieter than other Christmas because my grandma wasn’t there and everything was
different. Whenever my Granpa was by himself he used to stay in his room and cry to himself and
sometimes when Mum sees my Grandpa unhappy, she invites him to stay over at our place. But still
nothing will be the same without our beloved grandmother whom everyone loved. Zi will always
remember her.

Exercise 2: Reading comprehension
In the last few weeks I have spent every Saturday in my flat and have done nothing more
exciting than work at home, read the newspapers, and watch television. I had begun feeling bored
with this and so, last weekend I thought I would do something different. I phone several of my
friends and we decided to go to London for the day. I was really excited as I hadn't been to London
since I was ten. We decided to go by coach as this was the cheapest means of transport. In London
we decided to take a sightseeing tour as we wanted to see some of the famous buildings. After the
tour, we bought some sandwiches and ate them in a small park. In the afternoon some of us went
shopping and the others went to the theater. We met up again at 6.30 pm and went to a small
restaurant in Sotho. The meal was really good, but, unfortunately, it took much longer than we had
expected. We had to get a taxi back to the coach station. Luckily, we got there just two minutes
before our coach left.
