Where to find Goddington Theatre

Goddington Theatre can be found within the Goddington University site, next to the car park,
which is available for public use after S p.m. on weekdays and all day at weekends.

If travelling by car

Coming from the south end of Princes Street, you will see the library on your right. The next
building on your right is Goddington University — there is a pedestrian crossing outside the
front entrance. Take the next turning on the right after the crossing (into Broad Street) which
takes you along the side of Goddington University — then first right into the car park. Drive
up to the car park gate straight ahead of you, stopping as close as possible to the orange
machine. Put a £1 coin in the machine and the gate will rise. (Note: Do not try to put a coin
in the machine by getting out of your car — it is likely that by the time you get back in your
car the gate will already be closed again!)
Other car parks are shown on the map. There is an hourly charge. You may find a free
parking place on one of the side streets.

If travelling by train
You will need to allow 30 minutes to walk from the station. Taxis are available from the
front of the station.

If travelling by bus/coach
The University is a S to 10-minute walk from the main bus station.

Taxis
When ordering a taxi from the theatre, ask to be picked up at the bottom of North Street.
Taxis will not come into the car park because of the entrance charge.

PART 4
Questions 21—25
 Read the text and questions below.
 For each question, mark the letter next to the correct answer — A, B, C or D —on your
answer sheet.

Orbis is an organisation which helps blind people everywhere. It has built an eye hospital
inside an aeroplane and flown it all over the world with an international medical team.
Samantha Graham, a fourteen-year-old schoolgirl from England, went with the plane to
Mongolia. Samantha tells the story of Eukhtuul, a young Mongolian girl.
‘Last year, when Eukhtuul was walking home from school, she was attacked by boys with
sticks and her eyes were badly damaged. Dr. Duffey, an Orbis doctor, said that without
an operation she would never see again. I thought about all the everyday things I do that
she couldn’t, things like reading schoolbooks, watching television, seeing friends, and I
realised how lucky I am.’
‘The Orbis team agreed to operate on Eukhtuul and I was allowed to watch, together with
some Mongolian medical students. I prayed the operation would be successful. The next
day I waited nervously with Eukhtuul while Dr Duffey removed her bandages. “In six
months your sight will be back to normal,” he said. Eukhtuul smiled, her mother cried,
and I had to wipe away some tears, too!’
‘Now Eukhtuul wants to study hard to become a doctor. Her whole future has changed,
thanks to a simple operation. We should all think more about how much our sight means
to us.’

21 What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this text?

A to describe a dangerous trip
B to report a patient’s cure
C to explain how sight can be lost
D to warn against playing with sticks
