Three girls talk about an accident they had

Naomi
This morning I had an accident while playing football. I tried to kick the ball into the goal but I fell
over and broke my leg. The teacher called and ambulance and I was taken to hospital. The doctor
has said that I will have to stay here for three days. Tomorrow the doctor will repair the break in my
leg. The doctor said that when I get home, I must rest my leg for at least two more weeks.

Lisa
Last week I was playing at home with my best friend. We were not playing any sport, but we were
running up and down the stairs when I fell down. I hit my teeth badly. My mum took me straight to
the dentist’s in her car; she didn’t have to take me to the hospital. I didn’t need an ambulance. The
dentist checked my teeth and told me to get some medicine for the pain. He also said that I might
have a toothache for a week.

Mary Lu
I went to the cinema with my parents to see the latest comedy film. It was very hot in the cinema
and I started to feel sick. I then fell on the floor and my mum tried to wake me up. The staff at the
cinema called and ambulance. A doctor came with the ambulance and listened to my heart. I woke
up and the doctor checked the rest of my body. He said I was fine but he also told me to go home
and rest for two days.

PART 3 – QUESTIONS 14-18

For each question, choose the correct answer.

A very unusual museum

Last week we went on a school trip. We visited a very unusual place. The tourist information
centre and the guest house next door have created the Hair Museum.
Calling it a museum may be a bit strange as it has thousands of pieces of hair, all from women
who have visited the place. The story goes that the local guide was saying goodbye to a good
friend of his, when he asked for something to remember her by. She cut off a piece of her
hair and gave it to him. He put it up in his shop, and then he told the story to all the tourists
who visited his shop. Then, other women who enjoyed the story left a piece of their hair, as
well.

The museum started in 1979 when different pieces of hair were put on show. It now holds
about 16.000 pieces of hair and is included in the Guinness Book of World Records. There’s
also another reason to leave some hair; twice a year there is a competition and the winning
pieces of hair are chosen. The people who left the pieces of hair that won get a message
inviting them back to stay for one night in the guest house next door, without having to pay,
during the summer months.

While the tourist information centre and the guest house are busy all year round, the
museum is also full of hair and they have now filled up an area of the information centre with
more pieces of hair. Visitors can walk down the room in the museum with hair on every
available part of the walls and ceilings. Pencils, paper and scissors are offered to those
wanting to add their own piece to the museum. They write their name, age and address on
the paper.
14. Who does the writer say was the first person to leave a piece of hair?
A. a visitor to the museum
B. a friend of the person from the tourist centre
C. a tourist staying at the guest house

15. What happens every six months at the museum?

A. The museum opens a new area.
B. All the hair is shown to visitors.
C. Someone can win a free night’s stay at the guest house.

16 The writer says the guest house has many customers

A. all year round.
B. during the summer months.
C. twice a year.

17 Why does the museum use part of the tourist information centre?

A. They want to sell the hair to the tourists.

B. They don’t have any more room for the hair.
C. There aren’t any more rooms in the guest house.

18 Visitors who want to leave a piece of their hair at the museum

A. can write their own name on the walls if they wish.
B. must ask for the guest house’s name and address.
C. should give the museum some information about themselves.
