READING SECTION

V. Read the story and then answer the questions.

Last week, there was one really, really bad day. It was Monday. Usually, there are about
25 students in my class, but that day, there were only 5 people! It wasn't warm. In fact, it
was really cold. It was raining a lot. It was dark and gray outside. There wasn't any
sunshine. I think the students weren't at school because they were sick. They were at
home. Maybe they were in bed.
Mr. Jibbit is our teacher. He is always at school. He is never at home on a Monday. Last
Monday was no different. He was not in bed. He was in the classroom, and he was cold!
Why was he so cold? That's a very good question. He was cold because the heater in the
school was broken. It was freezing. The school was like a refrigerator. Our room was like a
freezer! And poor Mr. Jibbit was like ice! The small class was cold, cold, cold!
The next days were much warmer. The heater was fixed on Tuesday, so everything was ok.
There were 25 students, not only 5. But where was Mr. Jibbit? He wasn't there. He was at
home, sick in bed!

statement.

Studying Abroad

Judy Seymour:

“I’m a fashion student. I’m from Dayton, Ohio in the USA but I’m studying in Florence. I chose Italy because I
love Italian fashion and because I can learn a lot about the fashion business here. And also because my
mother’s family is from Italy. Classes are from 10 am to 2 pm every day. Everybody on the program is Italian
except me and all the classes are in Italian. My Italian is improving quickly! The teachers at the Academy are
really helpful. I’m learning a lot in the classroom, but we also go to fashion shows. Florence is an amazing city.
It’s very beautiful, there are hundreds of things you can do in your free time and people here are very friendly.
I’m happy I decided to study in Italy. I’m having a great time. But also I’m learning to live in another society.
And that’s great!”

Eileen McFarland:

“I’m from Los Angeles in California. I’m studying Communication and Media in Rome. I chose to study in Italy
because I want to learn Italian. Rome is awesome. It’s small compared to Los Angeles but it has a lot of things
to see- beautiful buildings and art. And Italian culture is very different from American culture. Italians are
passionate about everything: art, family, religion, food, love… I’m never bored. I’m on an International program.
So, I’m not just studying with Italians or Americans- there are people from Africa, Asia and Europe. But the
classes are in English. The classes are great and there are also trips outside the university. Classes are from
9:30 in the morning to 1 pm. I’m taking Italian language classes in the afternoon and there are also extra
classes for fun in the evening- art history, cooking, Italian literature… I’m happy I’m studying abroad. I’m
learning a lot about Italy and I’m learning Italian, but I’m also learning about who I am.”
