SECTION A: COMPREHENSION

QUESTION 1

Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.

TEXT A
Two boys from Syria and Germany

NAWWAR: I’m happy to be in Germany because there is no war. I am seven years old and I have
lived in Berlin for three months.

Nawwar and Alec became friends at school after Alec acted as his translator. The boys attend
school with students from more than 60 countries.

ALEC: It’s really interesting that he came really far. He started in Syria, travelled to Turkey, then
to Greece and then to Germany.

NAWWAR: It was a difficult journey. The most difficult part was sleeping on rocks and climbing up
mountains and down mountains … up and down. And on the boat. We have seen friendly white
bears. The best part of my journey was the white bears.

With Alec’s help, Nawwar is learning more German every day.

ALEC: He’s one of the best readers in our class. He’s made a lot of friends so far and probably
will make many more friends this year.
