The following text for questions number 1-3

I like playing a guitar in my spare time. I have a guitar at home. My father gave me the guitar
a year ago when I had the twelfth birthday. I really like it.
My guitar is very simple. It’s nothing fancy, just a Madeira folk guitar, all scuffed and
scratched and finger-printed. At the top is a bramble of copper-wound strings, each one hooked
through the eye of a silver tuning key. The strings are stretched down a long, slim neck, its frets
tarnished, and the wood worn by years of fingers pressing chords and picking notes. The body of
the Madeira is shaped like an enormous yellow pear, one that was slightly damaged in shipping.
The blond wood has been chipped and gouged to gray, particularly where the pick guard fell off
years ago.

The following text is for question 8-11
When I was seven years old, I was given a small wallet to keep my pocket money in. I felt so
happy and put it in my hip pocket.
One day, during the break time at school, I discovered that my wallet was missing. I checked
it but I could not find it. There was some money in the wallet and without it I could not buy
anything to eat. I was close to tears. It was not because of losing my precious wallet but because I
might get scolded by my parents. Anyhow I went hungry that day.
In the class I could not concentrate well to study at all. I kept thinking about how I lost my
wallet and what my parents would react. How was I going to explain the loss? I did not know
whether someone had taken it from my pocket or it had merely fallen out. I hoped that someone
would find and return it to me.
When I told my mother about my loss, she was angry. She told me that it would not have
happened if I had been careful. When my father came home, I got another anger. Then he told me
that there would not be any more wallets for me until I got older.

Luckily, I still got pocket money from my parents. I am glad to say that I never lost anything
again. I had learned to be more careful. It is not pleasant to lose something and then get scolded
for losing it.
