The Fishing Competition

My names Leon and Ive known my friend, Bernie, since I was eleven. Were both fifteen now and enjoy fishing and swimming in the river together. For me, fishings a hobby, but its more than that for Bernie. He fishes in competitions, and hes really good at it.

Two months ago, Bernie asked me to join his team for a fishing competition. I decided to do it. I had six weeks to practise for the competition, which happened last week. So I went fishing when I could, usually all weekend. I help on a farm on Fridays, and I study after school Monday to Thursday for some exams Ive got next month.

Bernie showed me the places in the river that fish usually like, for example around a fallen tree. But I got my biggest fish under a bridge, and Bernie caught a big one by a broken boat.

The morning of the competition arrived, and we started fishing. Nothing happened for two hours, but then I pulled in my first competition fish! We fished until the end of the day, but no-one caught a fish heavier than mine.

Bernie and the team were pleased with my fish and we won tenth place out of twenty-four teams. Bernie hopes to win a competition soon, but one was enough for me. I prefer to fish for fun.


Example:

0 Bernie is A older than Leon.

B the same age as Leon.

C younger than Leon.

Answer: 0 A B C

21 Fishing is an activity that Leon A wants to do better.

B likes doing with Bernie.

C prefers to swimming.

22 When was the competition? A a week ago

B six weeks ago

C two months ago

23 Leon practised for the competition A at weekends.

B four days a week.

C on Fridays.

24 Leon caught a fish near A a fallen tree.

B a broken boat.

C a bridge.

25 How long were they at the competition? A two hours

B just the morning

C all day

26 At the competition, Bernie and Leons team A won.

B came tenth.

C were last.

27 In the future, Leon will A enter no more competitions.

B enjoy competitions more.

C try harder to win competitions.
