ENGLISH QUIZ pt 1

1.      Dear Grandpa and Grandma,

Yesterday at my school we had an International day. We had performances, food stalls, displays, raffle ticket draw, and some of us were dressed in costumes.

We started our day off with performances but the one I liked best was the one from fourth grade. We played games. The performance I was in was Labamba.

Straight after our performances we had our lunch. There were food stalls. They came from Australia, Asia, Arab, and Greece.

Everyone had a job. These people were from sixth grade. I did my job after I had lunch. My job was to sell International Day Books.

We had displays in the hall. These displays were good but I didn’t get to see them. The displays came from a lot of countries.

There was also a Trash and Treasure stall where they sold toys. The school got these things by asking the children to bring them in.

Although I didn’t win anything, International Day was still fun.

Love from Sue

8.      My elder sister and I are moving into a new house this weekend, so we decided to do shopping to furnish the place. First, we went to an appliance store not too far from our new house, and we bought a refrigerator for the kitchen. You really cannot live without one because you have to keep your food cold or frozen so it does not spoil. Then, we bought a washing machine to wash and dry our clothes. We do not want to go to a laundry mart to do this every week like we used to do when we are in a boarding house. Next, we bought a rice cooker. We certainly need one because it can make life easier. You simply put the rice into the cooker and press the cooking button, then you can do other chores while the cooker is cooking the rice finally, we picked up a microwave oven. if we are in a hurry and do not have time to cook, we can place the food in the microwave and heat it up quickly.  We have not purchased everything we need to furnish our new place, but we think we have the basic appliances to make life more comfortable for now.

The text tells us about the writer and her sister’s …

• A. New house

• B. Household chores

• C. Shopping experience

• D. Activities at new house

• E. Holiday
