SUBIECTUL 2

Read the text and questions below. For each question, write the letter next to the correct
answer on your exam sheet:

My name is James, I‟m fourteen, and I moved to this town with my family three months ago.
My parents lived here when they were young, but my brother and I didn‟t know anyone here
except a few relatives we‟d met on visits. When I started school, one of my cousins, Sophie,
who was in my class, was very friendly for the first week and I was happy to have a friend in a
strange place. Then, for no reason, she stopped talking to me and I felt very hurt and lonely for
several weeks. In the end I made some more friends and since I got to know them, I‟ve been
fine. Now Sophie is having a disco party for her birthday next week and she has invited me. I
don‟t want to go. My brother says he heard someone say she only asked me because her
parents said she had to. But my Mum and Dad say it would be rude not to accept. Some of my
new friends are invited, too. How can I show Sophie that she can‟t behave so badly towards me
without causing a family quarrel?
