PART 4
QUESTIONS 21–27
Read the article about a company that helps children with their writing.
Are sentences 21–27 ‘Right’ (A) or ‘Wrong’ (B)?
If there is not enough information to answer ‘Right’ (A) or ‘Wrong’ (B), choose
‘Doesn’t say’ (C).
For questions 21–27, mark A, B or C on your answer sheet.

Children’s Voice

Children’s Voice began in 2000 as a magazine
written by children. It was the idea of a New
York businessman called Sam Harris. He
thought that people should listen to what
children had to say. Harris soon found that adult newspapers were interested
in the children’s writing. He decided to close the magazine and started selling
the children’s news stories to adult newspapers.
Now Children’s Voice has offices all over the UK. Since 2005, the people who
work at Children’s Voice have helped over 500 children with their writing.
Many of these children have written news stories and programmes for TV
and radio. The children, who must be aged 8–18, write about anything they
think is important. Children’s Voice shows them how to make their work good
enough for publication.
Children’s Voice is not really interested in finding school children who want
to become journalists when they grow up. They want children to think for
themselves and they want adults outside their schools to listen to them. They
are really pleased that some of their writers are from poorer families and these
children are often invited by national newspapers to write about the problems
in their lives.
