I – Reading: (5 marks) Text: Percy and Pamela Morland are fifteen. Monday to Friday they get up at half past six every morning. Percy has a shower. Pamela has a bath. They brush their teeth. They have breakfast with their parents. They get ready for school. Have they got their school books? Yes. Is their homework ready? Yes. When they've got everything, they wait in the sitting room. Lessons start at half past eight. Do Percy and Pamela go to school? No they don't. There are two desks and a blackboard in their sitting room. They study at home. And their parents are their teachers. Mrs. Morland teaches them all subjects in the mornings, and she works in the cinema in the evenings. Mr. Morland is a doctor. He sees his patients in the mornings, and he comes home in the afternoons. He is the children's sports teacher. He plays football with them on Mondays, tennis on Tuesdays, football again on Wednesdays, baseball on Thursdays, and he takes them swimming on Fridays. "I love going to school at home," says Percy. "We learn a lot, because we have a very small class!" Pamela loves it, too, but she thinks they work very hard. "Mum always gives us a lot of homework!" she says. I like swimming with Dad best. He's a great teacher."
