Q1 – List four things
It was only when I had pushed open the heavy door leading onto the main deck that I realised what the
weather was like. Did it qualify as a storm? It's true there was rain, but it wasn't so very hard. It certainly
wasn't a driving rain, like you see during the monsoons. And there was wind. I suppose some of the gusts
would have upset umbrellas. But I walked through it without much difficulty.

As for the sea, it looked rough, but the sea is always impressive and forbidding, beautiful and dangerous.
Waves were reaching up, and their white foam, caught by the wind, was being whipped against the side of
the ship. But I'd seen that on other days and the ship hadn't sunk.

A: If you had to write about the sea, which quote would you analyse?
‘Did it qualify as a storm?’
‘The sea is always impressive and forbidding, beautiful and dangerous’
‘Their white foam, caught by the wind, was being whipped against the side of the ship’
Why?

But I'd seen that on other days and the ship hadn't sunk. A cargo ship is a huge and stable structure, a feat of
engineering. It's designed to stay afloat under the most adverse conditions. Weather like this surely wouldn't
sink a ship? Why, I only had to close a door and the storm was gone. I advanced onto the deck. I gripped the
railing and faced the elements. This was adventure.
It was when I looked up at a lifeboat on the bridge castle that I started to worry. The lifeboat wasn't
hanging straight down. A shiver of cold went through me. I decided it was a storm after all. Time to return to
safety. I let go, hotfooted it to the wall, moved over and pulled open the door.
B: If you had to write about the narrator’s feelings, which quote would you analyse?
‘This was adventure’
‘A shiver of cold went through me’
‘I let go, hotfooted it to the wall, moved over and pulled open the door’
Why?

Underneath each extract are some questions to help you practise the skills for the exam.
Q1 – True or False?
Tick the statements which are true.
News reports have begun to circulate that Brazilian footballer Neymar, who currently plays for
French side Paris-Saint-Germain, is reportedly considering signing an extension to his current deal
despite rumours continuing to link him with a return to his former club Barcelona. This is due to
increased happiness at the club, perhaps as a result of the increasing success with fellow forward
Kylian Mbappe. If this partnership continues, Neymar could see his career in the French capital
continue with an increased pay packet. But, how good is the 28-year-old footballer?
Neymar is from France.
Neymar currently plays for Paris and Germany.
Neymar used to play for Brazil.
Neymar enjoys playing for Barcelona.
Neymar is not a good footballer.
