2. Reading

Read the diary extract, written by a girl called Holly. Decide if the sentences are True or False.

My name’s Holly and I live with my family on a farm in the north of Scotland.

Wednesday

My sister Elsa and I couldn’t go to school today because there was a bad storm and it rained a lot all day. Then during the evening, the wind started blowing really strongly while we were eating – a real hurricane – and it made the electricity go off, so everywhere was dark. We had no lights at all – totally amazing! So we couldn’t watch TV – and we couldn’t do our homework either!

Thursday

We woke up to find that several of the trees on the farm were lying on the ground, and the rain was still falling. When it finally stopped, my dad asked some of his men to help him move the trees. Our school was closed again today because of the storm yesterday, so my sister and I helped too. It was much more interesting than going to school!

Friday

Finally the school was open again, and my teacher was waiting for everyone when we went in. We downloaded some pictures of the storm – it was absolutely awesome! We were lucky that our houses weren’t damaged and that there were no floods.

Saturday

Elsa and I stayed at home in the morning and helped Dad to give some food to the animals. Then our grandma came and gave us another lesson in knitting. It’s very traditional here – we’re not far from the sea and the people that go out in boats to catch fish often wear traditional knitted jumpers to keep warm. Elsa’s loves it – she’s really good at it. I find it quite difficult – and not very interesting!

1) A very strong wind meant that the electricity on the farm didn’t work.       [True, False]

2) Holly’s dad went out to move the fallen trees while it was still raining.        [True, False]

3) Holly preferred helping on the farm to going to school.        [True, False]

4) There were some floods around the houses where Holly lives.        [True, False]
