 PLACEMENT TEST – GRADE 6
READING
A. Read the article about Aisholpan Nurgaiv.

Aisholpan Nurgaiv is 13 years old and lives with her family in Western Mongolia, near China. Her
family are farmers and she helps on the farm. She also looks after her little brothers and sisters.
Aisholpan has a special pet and hobby. She has a golden eagle and loves training it.

Training eagles is an important and popular tradition in Western Mongolia. It is a tradition that is
two thousand years old. Aisholpan’s father and grandfather are champion eagle-trainers.

Mongolia is very cold. Sometimes temperatures are -40ºC. Aisholpan is shy but she is
energetic and goes riding through the snow to the mountains with her eagle on her arm.
Sometimes she climbs up mountains and is very patient when her eagle is looking for small
animals.

It is not typical for a girl to train eagles but after two years of training, she is now a
champion. Aisholpan thinks that girls are strong too and, ‘can do anything if they try’.

Aisholpan is famous because there is a film about her life with her eagle. She knows
presidents and actors but her life is simple. She is happy because now she goes to a good school.
Her favourite subjects are biology and science and one day she wants to be a doctor.
