FULL TERM TEST N°1

9th form

Ann felt nervous as she entered the classroom. Just last year, she

was a student and now she was a teacher. It was strange to be on the

other side of the teacher’s desk. The children were ready for lessons to

begin.

“Please take your books out”, she said. While the children opened

their desks and took out their books, Anne looked at them all. Most of the

children looked cheerful, but a few seemed unfriendly.

The day passed quickly. Ann couldn’t remember it very well. It was

like a dream. Only two of the children were naughty. The first was Morley

Andrews. He took out his two pet grasshoppers during the lesson. The

second was Anthony Pie. He poured a few drops of water down Aurelia

Clay’s neck. Ann made Morley stand at the front of the class for an hour

and she kept Anthony in at break to talk to him about good manners.

At the end of the day, the children left and Anne packed up her

things. She felt tired and a little bit sad. She didn’t know if she liked

teaching after all. She locked the school door and started to walk home.

At the bottom of the hill she met one of the boys from her class. He gave

her a small bunch of flowers.

“I came back to give you these.” He said. “I thought you might like

them. And I like you, teacher.” Ann took the flowers and smiled. “Thank

you”, she said. “They are beautiful.”

Suddenly, Ann didn’t feel tired at all. She was happy and hopeful.
