Anna Learns to Surf
Before I went to Australia, I did a beginner’s surfing course in Portugal. I travelled there from my home in Spain and hoped to learn lots. I wanted to be a good surfer by the time I got to Australia, where they are very advanced. But, I was no better at the end of the course! I was part of a group of four people and we spent five hours on both days practising on the beach, not in the water!
So, when I travelled to Australia I booked a course at Waves Surf School. The surfing teacher’s instructions were easy to follow and, after just three days, everyone in my group could stand on their boards and surf all the way to the beach. It was amazing! After a hard day, I returned to a lovely apartment and looked out at the sea. I then relaxed for a bit before going out for dinner.
The staff at the surf school were great. They told me about the best tourist places to visit and even drove me home to my apartment when I went clothes shopping and had too many bags to carry. While I was at the school, I learned more about Australia and its people than I did when I visited cities like Brisbane. I had a great time and it was really difficult to say goodbye when I had to fly home.

Dear Mr. Patterson,
I am a student in your woodshop class who is very angry with you. Your class is very unsafe and your other students are irresponsible. The class is unsafe because there are not enough headphones to protect everyone's ears when we use loud machines. The machines are also dangerous. A power drill was on fire last week!
The second reason I am angry is because the other kids are irresponsible. Tommy and Jason shoot staples at people with the staple guns. John tries to scare people when they are cutting wood. Someone could lose a finger or an eye in your class. You should be watching the class more carefully. Please make your classroom safer or I will tell the principal.
Thank you.

Read the following passage then choose the best answer to each question below.
It is often considered that the schoolyard is where bullies go to make other kids a miserable school life, but a new study suggests that classrooms are another popular place.
The study, presented recently at the American Public Health Association’s yearly meeting in Philadelphia, is based on the results of the research from more than 10,000 middle school students who answered questions online.
Of those researched, 43% said they’d been physically bullied within the last month. A bit more than half said they had been laughed at in an unfriendly way, and half reported being called hurtful names. About one-third said groups had excluded them to hurt their feelings. 28% said their belongings had been taken or broken; 21% said someone had threatened to hurt them. According to the results, two-thirds of the students said they had been bullied in more than one way over the previous month.
The study authors mentioned that 8% of the students who answered said they had missed school at least once during the school year because of fear of being bullied, 25% said they had taken other actions, such as missing recess, not going to the bathroom or lunch, missing classes, or staying away from some area of the school to escape from experiencing a bully. Bullies did too much to school life.
