ENGLISH ASSESSMENT TWO: THIRD TERM

Text :
I’m Kate Brown, I live in London. My aunt Olga lives in the house next to ours.
She likes films very much. She goes to the cinema once a week; from 18.30 to 22.00
I baby sit her daughter Polly who is three years old. I look after her and she pays
me 10 pounds an evening. I am only 15, so some people think I am too young to be
a baby-sitter; but if I have a problem, I can call my mum and ask her what to do.
It’s a very amusing job! I’m lucky because Polly is really nice. When I give her a
bath, she goes to sleep. Then, I can spend the evening doing my homework or
watching TV.
