Read the following texts carefully and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.

On Saturday afternoon I left my hand bag on the bus. In it were my cheque book, address book and my purse, which contained about £50 in cash and some credit cards. When I realized what I had done, it was too late. I didn't know what to do; I am 72 years old, was a long way from home, and I was quite worried. In fact, I stood by the side of the road and just cried. A young man asked me what was wrong and I explained what had happened to me. He gave me some money for my bus fare home. When I told the bus driver what had happened he said I should keep the fare. I got home safely and the telephone rang soon after. It was the manager of City Bus, the company that owned the bus on which I had left my handbag. He said that they had my handbag and he offered to drive over to return it. I had my handbag back, amazingly with all its contents untouched. I would just like to say how wonderful everybody was who helped me on that day, and how much I appreciate their kindness and honesty.

Dear Mira,

Thanks for your letter. Now I’ll tell you about my hobbies.

My favourite hobby is knitting. It is strange, isn’t it?. My mother taught me to knit two years ago. Now I can knit scarves and sweaters. It’s great when I can give them to my relatives and friends as gifts. Knitting is also imaginative because you can knit anything you can imagine of. Besides, it is quite cheap. You only need a pair of needles and some wool.

I’m sending you a scarf next month. I’m knitting it. I hope you’ll like it.

Best wishes,

Vy

Did she learn this hobby from her father?
