Reading Test

English

Flyte Youth Orchestra

Joe:          Hi! I’ve just seen an incredible documentary about a musician called Ruth Boden. She goes hiking and plays music in the countryside. At times, there aren’t any people, just the rocks and the trees. Maybe we can do something similar this summer?

Kate:        How about a trip in September? The weather’s cooler then. I think when music is played outside,
it sounds better than in concert halls.

Joe:          Exactly! Ruth realised that, too. She had always dreamed of backpacking along the Appalachian Trail. Then she met Gavin. He wanted to make a documentary about her, so they planned a route in the Wallowa Mountains in Oregon. They climbed up a mountain and Ruth played there.

Gemma:    Joe, there’s no way I’m taking my trumpet on a hike. Do you know how much it costs?

Pete:         I’m not sure I can take all my drums.

Jamie:      My flute doesn’t weigh a lot, Pete – I’ll take one of your drums in my bag.

Reading Test: Black Friday

English as a Foreign Language

The day after Thanksgiving has become America’s biggest shopping day. Closed all day on Thursday, shopping centres all across the nation open early on Friday. Some of them open at 12:01 Friday morning, while others open at 4 a.m. Some “sleepyhead“ shopping centres, like Target this year, don’t open their doors on Friday until 6 a.m. From Friday to the day before Christmas, this is the season when businesses make nearly 25 per cent of what they earn in a year. This season puts many businesses “in the black”, that is, they make the money they need for the year.

Reporters from local TV stations interview people who sleep in tents in front of the shops a day or two before the doors open on Friday. These people patiently wait in queue to get products that are 50 per cent cheaper or more.

“Oh, we have fun,” said one of the persons queuing. “We sometimes bring games to play, we watch TV and order lots of pizza, and we often meet interesting people. And, most important of all, we save a lot!” The problem, of course, is that only a very small number of products have big reductions in their prices. Apart from a few big discounts, each shop has other things that are reduced from 10 to 50 per cent, saving shoppers from $10 to $400 per item, and so Americans want to go shopping.

Not all Americans enjoy shopping. Reverend William Graham wants to change Black Friday’s name. “We want to call it Remember Jesus Friday. People should start the season with the right attitude. Christmas has become a Season of Shopping. We want to make it a Season of Giving. And we don’t mean giving material things. We mean giving your back, your mind, and your hands. Help an old lady clean up her house. Teach a kid how to read. Visit sick people in the hospital or in nursing homes. Give food to the Red Cross. Celebrate Christmas by remembering Jesus and forgetting Santa Claus.”
