Reading and Writing

My favourite book
Jian
This well-known book was in a box of old books that a neighbour
gave me. I wasn’t sure about it when I picked it up because I saw thepictures and thought it was a book for little children. But I was bored,
so I started reading. After a few pages I couldn’t stop, and when I
got to the last page, I was quite upset that there wasn’t more. It’s
about two friends who play a game, and how it changes their lives.
It’s brilliant!

Max
This was one of the first books I ever had, but it’s still a favourite. Even
before I could read, I loved looking at the drawings as my parents
read the story to me. Now my little sister’s got it, and she loves it too.
The writer has become quite famous, but this is the first book shewrote, and not many people have heard of it. It’s very different fromthe books she wrote later. I suppose what you write about changes as
your life changes.

Kojo
I read this book for the first time when I was about eight. One of thereasons I liked it was that it was about people growing up in a place
which I knew nothing about. My friend read it too, and our ideas forgames often came from this book. I read it again recently, and I still
think it’s great, except the last few pages. What happens in themdoesn’t seem real.

Test 1PART 3
QUESTIONS 14–18
For each question, choose the correct answer.

A young cheesemaker
16-year-old Pat Tulloch has an unusual hobby. She makes cheese on the family farm inAustralia. She began by making yoghurt with her mother when she was little. Then she started
watching her father’s workers make cheese. When she was ten, she made some herself forthe first time. ‘It wasn’t great,’ she says, ‘but the workers told me what I was doing wrong andthat helped me to slowly get better.’
Pat always needs good milk for her cheese, but she doesn’t have to buy it. Her mother andfather keep 100 cows on their farm. Pat can just ask them when she needs more. Last year,
Pat’s neighbour gave her a young cow to keep and look after, but it doesn’t produce milk tomake cheese yet.
Pat and her family make several types of cheese. Recently they won a prize for one of them.
‘It’s been great for helping customers find out about us,’ says Pat. ‘Last month we started
selling cheese in New Zealand. People there read about our prize in a food magazine. Soon
we’re going to do some advertisements, too.’Pat’s next idea is to post some online recipes for cooking with cheese. ‘One of my favourites
is cheese with eggs for breakfast. It’s great! Our cheese is also lovely with pasta – I hope arestaurant might buy some one day.’ But right now Pat is still at school. ‘Making cheese is funand winning a prize for it is great, but doing well in my studies matters more for now.’
