Question 15
The following story leads into the next four questions. It will be repeated at the start of each of the questions it relates to.
Read it carefully and answer questions 15 through to 18 in relation to this story.

The big day had finally arrived. Kutsu, an exchange student from Tokyo in Japan was coming to stay with the Brown family.
Kutsu was fifteen years old, had long black hair and dark brown eyes. Jack Brown, Penny Brown's father, drove with Penny
to pick Kutsu up from the airport. "I'm so excited Dad," said Penny, "I can't wait to meet Kutsu, do you think she is excited
about meeting me?"
"I'm sure she is just as excited as you are Penny," replied Jack, "though remember she has had a long flight and will
probably be very tired."

Jack parked the car, and he and Penny entered the airport. They located the flight number on one of the many flight boards
and headed towards the gate. Penny waited anxiously as the passengers slowly filed off the plane. "There she is," shouted
Penny. "Hello Kutsu, my name is Penny, it's lovely to meet you." Kutsu stared back at Penny blankly. "Hello Kutsu, how was
your flight?" Penny stammered. Kutsu still did not talk back to Penny. "Oh dear!" said Jack. "I don't think Kutsu speaks
English."

It was a long and very quiet drive home from the airport. Penny was really disappointed that she and Kutsu were unable to
communicate. The school had not explained this to her when they arranged the two months exchange. Penny had
organised many activities for her stay, but now they couldn't do them.

Upon arriving home, Penny explained the situation to her mother, Judy. Judy reassured Penny there were many ways for
people to communicate and that words were just one way. She suggested Penny try to use her body language and hands to
communicate with Kutsu. Penny agreed and went to find Kutsu. Sadly, she found her sitting on the couch crying. Penny
understood why she was so upset. Kutsu, like Penny, was also unaware of the language barrier, as she had thought the
Brown family were able to speak Japanese. From that moment, Penny made it her mission to make Kutsu feel welcome.
She sat next to Kutsu and gave her a hug. Kutsu quickly stopped crying and gave Penny a smile.

Over the next two months, Penny and Kutsu formed a very special friendship: without words, but with actions and facial
expressions. It was actually easier than Penny first thought. If Kutsu was hungry, she would rub her stomach, if she was
happy she would smile, if she was confused she would frown and if she was tired she would yawn. Penny and Kutsu had so
much fun during her stay and they were still able to do all of the activities Penny had planned, including rollerskating and
going to the beach. Once Kutsu had returned to Japan it was time for Penny to go back to school. "Hello Penny", said Miss
Smith. "Did Kutsu enjoy her time in Australia?".
"Yes," replied Penny. "I know this because she was always smiling, and when she left she gave me a big hug. There was
even a tear in her eye and even though she couldn't say it in words, I just knew she was sad to be leaving."

What is the main purpose of this story?

Options
A
Japanese people can't speak English.
B
The school incorrectly assigned Kutsu to the Brown family.
C
Communication can occur in many forms and doesn't necessarily have to be verbal.
D
Penny and Kutsu are best friends.
E
People who can't speak English are ignorant.

expressions. It was actually easier than Penny first thought. If Kutsu was hungry, she would rub her stomach, if she was
happy she would smile, if she was confused she would frown and if she was tired she would yawn. Penny and Kutsu had so
much fun during her stay and they were still able to do all of the activities Penny had planned, including rollerskating and
going to the beach. Once Kutsu had returned to Japan it was time for Penny to go back to school. "Hello Penny", said Miss
Smith. "Did Kutsu enjoy her time in Australia?" "Yes," replied Penny. "I know this because she was always smiling, and
when she left she gave me a big hug. There was even a tear in her eye and even though she couldn't say it in words, I just
knew she was sad to be leaving."
