ENGLISH FIRST ADDITIONAL LANGUAGE 2 ASSESSMENT TASK ACTIVITY 4: READING COMPREHENSION - SHARED READING Written activity: Suggested time frame: 30 minutes Learner instructions: • Read the story and answer questions 4.1 – 4.5. We had a big apple tree in our garden, only a small distance from the kitchen window. “We really must cut that tree down,” my husband said, soon after we moved into the house. “Don’t be silly,” I said. I quite like the tree myself. It’s quite safe. It isn’t going to fall down on the house. “Well, I read something in the paper the other day,” he said. “A tree crashed into a woman’s bedroom during a storm. She was going to get rid of the tree and now she’s in hospital!” In the end, after several arguments of this kind, we asked a couple of workmen to come along and cut down the tree. It was not an easy job. In fact, it took them all morning. But at last the tree was lying on the ground. “What about the roots?” the men asked. “Shall we take them out too or leave them?” “Oh! Take them out,” I said. “Let's make a good job of it.” This took all afternoon and I was beginning to think about the amount to pay. There was also a big hole in the garden. “You will be able to put all your old rubbish in there!”, the men said as they left. My husband climbed down into the hole and began to look around. “Hey, look!” He called up to me. “There are some old coins here! And I think they are gold!” I climbed down into the hole and we started to dig around, hoping to find some more coins. We did and we also found a small metal box. We broke it open. It was full of jewellery, rings, necklaces, and bracelets! “Gosh!” I said, “I suppose someone hid these things in the ground, perhaps during the war.” “They’re probably worth a fortune!” my husband said. “Well, aren’t you glad now that we got rid of the old tree?” (Adapted from K5 Learning.com) 4.1 Circle the letter next to the correct answer.
