Summative Test- End of Semester (1)

1. Read the text and answer the following questions: (5x0,4=2p)

People often complain about airline companies losing their suitcases when they fly.
Well, something even worse happened to my family recently.

About ten years ago, my mum got a job teaching at a university in Indonesia. We all
went to live with her. We had a great time, but last year my parents decided that they
wanted to return to the UK. We had loads of things we wanted to take back with us-all
the furniture from our house in fact.

So mum and dad went to a shipping company and arranged to take everything back in
one of those big containers that you see on ships. The company packed everything into
it: the armchair and sofas, the TV, wardrobes, desks, even all the carpets and curtains.

We flew back to the UK and waited for the container to arrive. About ten weeks later, a
big lorry arrived outside our house. On the back was a big green metal box. We were so
excited. The men opened the container and started to take out our things. But they
weren’t our things. The container was full of motorbikes. It was the wrong one. My
parents were so annoyed. But the story has a happy ending. The men took the container
and motorbikes away, and about two months ago our things finally arrived.
