Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.

Do you find it difficult to get out of bed in the morning? Have you ever fallen asleep in class? If the answer is yes, then you're not the only one. Across the world, bedtimes are getting later and teenagers are sleeping less.

What are the reasons for this? Well, stress is an important factor. Like many young people, I find it hard to go to sleep before a big event such as an exam. Our increasing use of technology may also be to blame. New research at Kings College London, involving 125,000 children and teenagers on four continents, shows that using a phone or tablet before going to bed makes it twice as likely you'll asleep badly that night. And the following day, this lack of sleep can make it difficult to concentrate on studying.

But while many schools are attempting to solve this problem by starting the school day later, some schools in New Mexico in the United States are trying something a bit different - they have installed sleeping areas, where students can sleep for 20 minutes in specially designed chairs. I recently tried one of these chairs and my first thought was that it looked like something from a science-fiction film. When I lay down on it, the top part slowly covered my head and upper body so that it became dark inside. Some people might find that scary, but I didn't mind, and the gentle music was quite nice. I started to feel sleepy, and that was all I could remember until the lights went on and I woke up. Then, when I got up, I noticed I was a bit calmer than I'd been before. I'm sure someone who had slept badly before they went up to school would feel a lot better.

What's the writer's main purpose in writing this text?

  • To discuss the problem of teenagers sleeping too little
  • To describe how she learnt how to sleep better at night
  • To explain how using technology can help us sleep better
  • To show that nowadays we need less sleep than we used to

Read the following passage and choose the best answer for each blank.

This spring, our teacher suggested we should get involved in a green project and plant some trees the school. Everyone thought it was a good idea, but we found out that choosing trees was quite . If we wanted them to grow properly, they had to be the right type. Our teacher suggested that we should trees that grew naturally in our part of the world. That way, they would be used to local conditions.

Then we had to think about the best place for planting the trees. We learnt that trees are happiest where they have room to grow, with spaces for their branches. We tried to avoid areas students were very active. Finally, we found a quiet corner close to the school garden - perfect!

Once we'd planted the trees, we knew we had to look after them carefully. We all turns to check the leaves regularly. In case they turned yellow too soon, that could mean the tree was .
