A. Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with NO MORE THAN ONE WORD from the passage.
Dear Elizabeth,
I’m sending this postcard to you from Canada and hope it finds you doing well. I’ve been in Canada for almost a year studying science at the University of Toronto. Things are going great for me here. I got a job as a teacher assistant researching climate change and its effects on the ecosystem. Last month we went to Lake Superior and took water samples to test the pollution levels. The weather here is so cold! We took a ferry to cross the water in a snow storm, and the wind was blowing so hard it was making the boat rock from side to side. It was an exciting adventure.
Next week is the winter holidays. I’m planning on going skiing for the first time. I wish you could be here so we could spend time traveling and taking photos. Canada is such a beautiful country. I think you would really enjoy visiting.
Your friend, Tom

B. Read the following passage. For each question, circle the correct option A, B, C, or D.
Hi Mom,
I wanted to send this postcard to you and let you know I am doing well and living in London. I found a good job working in a bakery. The bakery is in a beautiful part of the city across the street from the Waldorf. It is an old hotel, and many famous guests stay there. I got an apartment near the park and have been getting lots of exercise by going on slow runs around the city. I have also been spending my free time watching the local Chelsea football club at the stadium. It's so exciting to watch the games in person and hear the crowd go crazy when they score. Being here has been a great experience. You would be happy to know that I have been improving my English. Being able to practice every day has helped me a lot.
Please write back and let me know how things are at home.
Your Son, Anthony
