Text-1a: Factual Report; purpose of the text writer
Motorcycles are descended from the “safety bicycle,” a bicycle with front and rear wheels of
the same size and a pedal crank mechanism to drive the rear wheel.
There are many systems for classifying types of motorcycles, describing how the motorcycles
are put to use, or the designer’s intent, or some combination of the two. Six main categories
are widely recognized: cruiser, sport, touring, standard, dual-purpose bike.

Some motorcycles are specially adapted for specific job functions, such as those used by the
ambulance, Blood Bikes, fire, and military services, and for specialized delivery services, such
as pizza deliveries. Beginning in the 1960s with the Mountain Goat specialized motorcycles
were developed for use on farms.

While motorcycles typically have two wheels, some motorized tricycles are classed as three-
wheeled motorcycles. Some brands have made various types of three-wheelers direct from
the factory. Most of these vehicles are treated as motorcycles for registration or licensing
purposes.

By composing the text, the writer expects that the readers ….


A. are interested in using motorcycles for transportation
B. understand more about some types of motorcycles
C. can modify the original design of the motorcycles
D. develop their own motorcycles for different uses

Born on 21 August 1986, he is a Jamaican sprinter widely regarded as the fastest person ever. He is
the first man to hold both the 100 meters and 200 meters world records since fully automatic time
measurements became mandatory in 1977. Along with his teammates, he also set the world record
in the 4×100 meters relay. He is the reigning Olympic champion in these three events, the first man
to win six Olympic gold medals in sprinting, and a five-time World champion. He was the first to
achieve a “double double” by winning 100 m and 200 m titles at consecutive Olympics (2008 and
2012) and topped this through the first “double triple” (including 4×100m relays).

The man with the appropriate name, Bolt makes sprinting look easy, often slowing down before the
finish line but still breaking world records by a comfortable margin. He will then strike his lightning
bolt pose for the world to see. Bolt is fast, and Puma moved the fastest in signing up the sprinter.

Dear Dhilla,

I have been sailing on the bosom of the blue sea for the last four days. I am feeling
comfortable. I have had no vomiting and no seasickness. My companion, Mr. Gupta, is very
kind to me. He looks to all my comforts. The voyage is sure to widen my mental outlook and
add to my knowledge of the sea, ships and the people on the continent.
We are having a beautiful time. We pass our time chatting, playing and reading
books and newspapers. The other day we had a thrilling and exciting cricket match. It was a
great fun to see cricket being played on board a ship.
I have made several new friends. One of them has invited me to play a visit to
Hamburg, in Germany. Another friend has invited me to Paris. I may visit Paris for about a
week on my return journey.
I am keeping quite fit and healthy and there is absolutely nothing to worry about
me. Give my best regards for our beloved mother.

Wishes,
Tommy
