I- READING COMPREHENSION (6 Marks)

Read the text and answer the questions


Peter, was born in 1977 in Chester “….I still remember my first day at Chester Boarding
School. I got up early in the morning of 9th October 1991 to get myself prepared. With my
father I started walking towards my new school. On the way it started to rain. When we
reached the school we were completely wet. When I saw the big grey building in front of
me, I started to get nervous…After a first meeting with the Deputy headmaster, I entered
the classroom and took my seat in the last row. I didn’t know anybody… I couldn’t move. In
front of me there was a big blackboard on the wall. Near it there were chairs and a table
for the teachers. After a few minutes a teacher entered into the class. He wrote my name
in the calling register. To my good luck the teacher was an interesting man. He said a few
funny remarks and made some jokes. At that moment, I felt better.
As the bell rang, we rushed out of the class. It was break time. The playground was full of
pupils. All of them were wearing a uniform: A dark blue blazer and brown trousers. As I
was alone some boys approached me. One of them asked me ‘from which school are you
coming?’ I didn’t say anything. Then I started to run. The school was quite big and I really
liked the assembly hall and the main entrance as they were clean and beautiful with lots of
plants, trees and flower pots. The bell rang again. It was time to go back to class. I wasn’t
so nervous. I took a deep breath and knocked on the door. Dozens of eyes were looking at
me. I said with confidence: ‘Hello teacher, my name is Peter Jones. I’m a new pupil in this
school. I’m new in town too’. I will never forget that day!”
