III. Reading
We students of Class 10 have learnt of a plan to build three hundred houses on the land called
Parson's Place which is behind our college! Few people know about this new plan to increase the
size of our town. We all feel Parson's Place is special because we've visited it with our families
since we were small children and we still like going there. It is a beautiful natural area - the small
wood has many unusual trees and the stream is a great place for children to play. It's very quiet and
safe because there are few houses or roads nearby. We think that losing this area will be terrible
because there are no other similar facilities in the neighbourhood.
We are also against this plan because it will cause traffic problems. How will the people from the
new houses travel to work? The motorway and the railway station are on the other side of town.
Therefore, these people will have to drive through the town centre every time they go anywhere.
The roads will always be full of traffic, and the tourists who come to see the lovely old buildings
will leave. Shops and hotels will lose business. If the town really needs more homes, the empty
ground beside the railway station is a more suitable place.
No doubt the builders will make a lot of money by selling these houses. But, in our opinion, the
average family will quickly be made poorer by this plan, and we will lose a very special place.
We're going to the local government offices on Monday afternoon to protest about this plan and we
hope that the rest of the college will join us there.

A, B, C or D.

ATLANTIC SAILOR
Sebastian Clover is a 15-year-old boy who lives i the south of England. In January, he became the
youngest person ever to travel from one side of the Atlantic Ocean to the other, all alone in a sailing
boat.
It took Sebastian 25 days to sail from Tenerife to the island of Antigua in the Caribbean. This isn't
very fast, but it is a long way for someone so young!
The weather was fine during Sebastian's trip, which was lucky, and he wasn't always completely
alone. Sometimes very large fish swam along next to his boat. At first he was afraid that they were
dangerous, but the fish were just being friendly.
The main problem that Sebastian had on the trip was when his telephone stopped working. His
parents were really worried about him, because he usually phoned them every day, but for the last
three days he couldn't. Sebastian was sorry not to talk to them, but nothing else was wrong.
Sebastian kept a video diary on his trip. You will soon be able to buy this video in the shops.
Sebastian wants to sail around the world next and he needs to save up some money to pay for the
trip. If you buy his video, this will help him.
