PAPER TWO: READING COMPREHENSION
SECTION A: Read the passage and write short answers to the following questions.
In Britain, Margarita Simon can be a full- time homemaker, at home with her four children. This, she says is
unusual in her native Norway because almost all Norwegian women go out to work, partly because there are more
crèches. It is also unusual in Norway to have more than two children. Margarita, who is 43, met her British
husband, Noel, a university professor while she was learning English in Cambridge.
I find British people friendly. She says: “New neighbours invite you for coffee, introduce their children, and
take you to the shops. The men are more courteous and romantic than Norwegian men.”
However; she doesn’t like everything. She thinks British houses are not built well even modern houses have
a lot of draughts. In addition, there is too much litter on the streets and by the side of the motorways. She likes
fresh British food, but at first, she did not like the tea because it looked cloudy and grey. Now she is addicted to it,
and has cups of tea all the time!
