Section A
1
Open a new blank document in your word processing software. Type in the
following text.
Jim, the school bus driver, is happy to be celebrating twenty years in his
job this month.
Over the years Jim has driven hundreds of children to and from our school
every day, in his big yellow bus. In twenty years he is pleased to report
that he has never had an accident or been late. Surprisingly, he is still
using the same bus, although it does look a little older.
Jim says he has always liked his job and hopes to continue for another 20
years.
We would like to take this opportunity to say a huge thanks to Jim and we
hope he will continue to drive our children to school for many more years.
