facing extinction. We must all help protect endangered species
Introduction : state a problem
Main body : your suggestion and expect result
Conclusion : summarise your opinion
Animals play an important role in our planet's eco-system. Unfortunately, every year
more and more animal species are facing extinction due to human activity. So, what can be

Comprehension
Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
John was invited to New York to visit some old friends who worked
there. He lived in an English small town which is an hour's journey away from the airport.
The flight was due to leave at 9:30 am, so he had to be at the airport at 8:30 in the
morning. He ordered a taxi for 7:30, set his alarm clock for 06:45 and went to sleep.
Unfortunately, he forgot to wind the clock and it stopped shortly after midnight. Also the
driver of the taxi had to work very late that night and over slept. John woke with that
awful feeling that something was wrong and it was true because he found out that the
alarm clock
stopped overnight and that it was pointing to half past twelve. So, he
lost hope and switched on the water boiler for a cup of tea. While he was having his late
breakfast, he heard the radio announcer reporting the news that there was a plane crash
near the airport. It was Boeing 707 on its way to New York while taking off that morning
flight N03234. It was then that John turned pale and screamed," My flight, if I had not
over slept, I would have been on that plane.
*Answer the following sentences:
1. Why did not John travel to New York?
…………………………………………………………….……………………………….
2. What happened to the taxi driver?

…………………………………………………………….……………………………….

half- an hour- two hours- three hours).
