READING COMPREHENSION
A man named Randy liked to hunt trees. He looked for big trees and old trees. He
made maps to show where these trees were. He did not want to cut them down. He wanted
people to take care of them.
Randy was told of a very tall tree on Vancouver Island. The tree was said to be 314
feet tall. That would make it the tallest tree in Canada. Randy set out to find the tree.
But someone else found it first. It was found by a logger. Loggers wanted to cut down
Canada’s tallest tree and all the trees around it.
Randy made a path in the forest so people could see the tall tree. The tree was so
big and beautiful it would fill them with awe. More and more people wanted to save that
forest. Thanks to these people, that forest is now a park. Canada’s tallest tree is still there.
There may still be a bigger tree out there. Maybe you will find it. But there are only
a few old forests left in Canada. Many are still at risk of being cut down.
14
1. Why did Randy make maps?
a) The maps help the loggers.
b) Randy makes maps to help campers.
c) He makes maps to show where Canada's biggest trees are located.
d) He makes maps because he works for the government.
5. What happened to the forest where Randy found Canada's tallest tree?
a) The loggers might cut it down in the future.
b) No one knows. It is a mystery.
c) The loggers cut it down.
d) It became a park.

Foster.
‘When you think about living away from home, you imagine being in another city or even
another country, but travelling halfway round the world to a desert island in the Seychelles
is not something you consider. But now that I’m here, I must say that I absolutely love it.
The scenery is extremely beautiful – there are moments when you feel like staying here
forever.
‘Having said that, there are real difficulties. We all miss people back home – we’re so far
away from everything here – and we have disagreements and arguments. I’m finding it hard
to live without simple things, like soap and shampoo and a comfortable bed, and we’re having
some problems finding food, too. Catching fish is quite hard, especially when the sea is rough.
