A THANK- YOU LETTER

Dear Angie,

I am writing to say how much I enjoyed staying with you and your

family, and to thank you for your hospitality. I have had a good flight

home, and my parents and sisters were waiting at the airport to meet

me. There was so much news to tell to them that we stayed up talking

until long after the midnight! They were extremely interested to see

through all my photographs, especially the ones of you and yourr family.

I have been trying to persuade them to visit England in next year so that

they can meet you. I know you would all get on with very well together.

I must say that it's nice to be home again and speaking my own

language, but I'm afraid I may forget all the English I had learnt while

I was staying with you . So I'm planning to write to you regularly

as a way of practicing. I'm sure of I'll make lots of mistakes and it

would be helpful if you could correct the worst ones.

Please write soon. I'm looking forward to your news.

Read the following passage on transport, and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50.

1) It was the first photograph that I had ever seen, and it fascinated me. I can remember holding it at every angle in order to catch the flickering light from the oil lamp on the dresser. The man in the photograph was unsmiling, but his eyes were kind. I had never met him, but I felt that I knew him. One evening when I was looking at the photograph, as I always did before I went to sleep, I noticed a shadow across the man’s thin face. I moved the photograph so that the shadow lay perfectly around his hollow cheecks. How different he looked!

(2) That night I could not sleep, thinking about the letter that I would write. First, I would tell him that I was eleven years old, and that if he had a little girl my age, she could write to me instead of him. I knew that he was a very busy man. Then I would explain to him the real purpose of my letter. I would tell him how wonderful he looked with the shadow that I had seen across his photograph, and I would most carefully suggest that he grow whiskers.

(3) Four months later when I met him at the train station near my home in Westfield, New York, he was wearing a full beard. He was so much taller than I had imagined from my tiny photograph.

(4) “Ladies and gentlemen,” he said, “I have no speech to make and no time to make it in. I appear before you that I may see you and that you may see me.” Then he picked me right up and kissed me on both cheeks. The whiskers scratched. “Do you think I look better, my little friend?” he asked me.

(5) My name is Grace Bedell, and the man in the photograph was Abraham Lincoln. 

The word “it” in paragraph 4 refers to

A. Time

B. Speech

C. Photograph
