A few years ago, as many as 1,000 schools across the USA started making school years longer
by adding up to ten extra days to the school year or by making each school day longer by half an
hour. This was because it was found that secondary school students in the USA and the UK were
spending the least time at school, with an average school year of 187 days. The typical Jordanian
school year is longer than this. However, none of these are nearly as long as the school year in
countries like Japan and South Korea. South Koreans attend school for 220 days per year, and in
According to a study by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD),
students in Japan, Indonesia and South Korea spend the most time studying in the world. They
want to learn as much as they can to ensure excellent exam grades. They go to school for about
nine hours, although this includes optional after-school tuition and activities. They also spend
about three hours on homework every day, which is three times as much as many other countries.
Their high academic achievements do suggest that the longer you study, the better you do in final
exams .
In Finland, however, students are usually given less than half an hour of homework per night, and
they attend school for fewer and shorter days than 85% of other developed nations. Despite this,
they achieve top marks in subjects like Maths and Science. In addition, most students also speak
at least two, and often three, languages fluently. The contradictory views of the study suggest that
the number and length of school days is not the only factor in determining whether students will

Studio schools are pioneering schools which receive funding as well as support from private
businesses, and which seek to encourage young people to undertake a less conventional form of
secondary education. These schools often specialize in one specific area, whilst understanding that the
same broad range of skills and qualifications should be made available to all young people
One such school has recently opened to educate fourteen- to eighteen-year-olds who have a special
interest in working in the space industry. Students follow a tailor-made curriculum at the school,
including subjects such as Astronomy and Astrophysics. Lessons are a mixture of small-class tutorials,
with projects supervised by leading companies in both the space and technology industries. Prominent
scientists and engineers are brought in as guest lecturers, with students aiming to achieve top grades in
their Math and Science exams. When they leave school, they will be well-placed to take any number of
different career paths. ‘They don’t have to become astronauts!’ says a spokesperson for the school.
‘Excellent grades in science and technology subjects can open many doors and lead to a variety of
career opportunities.’

Two summers ago, Anita spent five months studying Arabic at the German-Jordanian University near
Madaba. As my father is originally from Jordan, I grew up speaking Arabic as well as German. However, I
had never studied Arabic formally, and when the opportunity came up for me to spend a year in Jordan
I have relatives in Jordan and they arranged for me to stay with a wonderful family who live just outside
Madaba. I was amazed by the number of international students there, who were not only from Germany,
but from all over the world. Most of them had studied Arabic to a high level. I’m very familiar with
colloquial Arabic, which is what my family speaks and understands. The Arabic class, in Modern Standard
Arabic, was challenging, especially the grammar. Every week, we had to learn a vocabulary list of around
50 words. We covered many topics. Living with a family helped to improve my Arabic-speaking skills
because, while all the students heard Arabic in the classroom and streets, I could also practice it at home. I
What impressed me most about students in Jordan was their behavior and their attitude to studying. All the
students who I met appreciated the importance of their university education and the opportunities it would
give them to contribute to their country’s prosperity. They also showed extremely positive values.
Everybody was honest, and people discussed problems rather than getting angry if they disagreed with
each other. As someone who enjoys delicious food, beautiful places and friendly, hospitable people,
studying in Jordan was one of the best decisions I have made in my life. I made many new friends. I also
improved my Arabic speaking, writing and reading skills. My dream is to be fluent in Arabic one day – and
as I intend to return to Jordan as often as I can, I know I’m going to make this dream a reality.

In England, almost 50% of school leavers go on to higher education. The figure has not always
been as high as this. Twenty years ago, it was closer to 30%, and thirty years before that, it was only
about 5%. Another huge change has been financial. Before 1998 CE, higher education in the UK was
completely free for UK citizens. Since then, tuition fees have been introduced. Most students borrow
this money from the government. They don't have to repay it immediately. Instead, they pay it back
Despite the high cost, most students choose to study away from home. A recent survey of 17,000
students revealed that only 7% wanted to stay at home while they studied for their degree. Of course
for most young people, living away from home means borrowing even more money from the
government. So why don’t students choose to avoid debt by staying at home, where they don't have to
pay rent? Most of them say that they want to move to the University their Choice, rather than the
nearest one. Another strong motive is the desire to live in a new culture. Where do these students live?
Many have rooms in halls of residence, especially in their first year; others rent flats or houses. A
lucky minority live in property that their parents have bought for them. Most of them need to learn to
cook, do their own washing and manage their time and money.

No, it’s never too late to start revising! The first thing I would do is to draw up a revision timetable.
Look at all the subjects you have to do, and work out when you are going to work on each one. It’s a good idea
to change the order of the subjects in your timetable for each day. Try doing a little English, followed by some
Maths, then Biology, and so on. This way, by changing the focus of your revision you keep your mind fresh.
C- Do you know whether it's best to get up early, or to revise late at night?
The earlier you start in the morning, the more beneficial your revision will be, because that’s when you feel
most awake and your memory is at its best. I’d also recommend studying for 30-minute periods, and then taking a
break It’s been proved that concentration starts to decrease after half an hour, so frequent breaks will help the brain
By a break, I mean any change of activity from studying. It could be something as simple as just getting up
from your desk and listening to some music, or walking around for ten minutes.

Physical activity is very important, of course, especially when you are studying. Exercise will make a huge
difference to the way you feel. The physical activity will increase your heart rate and, in turn, that will increase
your blood circulation. It also sends more oxygen to the brain, which makes you revise more efficiently!
Nutrition is very important. You should try to eat as much fresh fruit and vegetables as you can. It’s essential not

Speaking a foreign language, it is claimed, improves the functionality of your brain in several different
ways. Learning new vocabulary and grammar rules provides the brain with beneficial ‘exercise’, which
improves memory. As well as exercising the brain, it is thought that learning a new language also presents
the brain with unique challenges. These include recognizing different language systems and ways to
communicate within these systems. These skills improve your chances of success in other problem-solving
tasks as well. It is said that students who study foreign languages do better, on the whole, in general tests in
maths, reading and vocabulary than students who have only mastered their mother tongue.
According to a study carried out by Pennsylvania State University, USA, multilingual people are able to
switch between two systems of speech, writing, and structure quite easily. It has been proved that they are
also able to switch easily between completely different tasks. One experiment required participants to
operate a driving simulator while carrying out separate tasks at the same time. The experiment showed that
multilingual participants were less distracted by the other tasks and therefore made fewer driving errors.
It is believed that language learning can also improve your decision-making skills. When you speak a
foreign language, you are constantly weighing up subtle differences in meaning of a word or the way that
an utterance is made. This process is then transferred subconsciously to other situations in which judgment
Finally, learning a language can also improve your ability to use your mother tongue more effectively.
As you become more aware of the way that a language works, you begin to apply it to the language that
you use every day. The skills you obtain from learning a language, therefore, can make you a better

Our country has a high standard of education. This is mainly due to the fact that the government considers
education a necessity. All schools, from kindergarten to secondary, are the responsibility of the Ministry of
Education (MOE). Pre-school and kindergarten education is optional, followed by ten years of free, compulsory
education. For higher education, students enter university, either for academic or vocational courses.
Students can attend one of ten public universities, or one of nineteen private universities. A large number of
Jordanian students choose to study at these institutions, as well as foreign students from all over the world. These
are undergraduates studying for a first degree, or postgraduates studying for a Master’s degree, a PhD or a higher
diploma. The three universities with the most undergraduates are the University of Jordan in Amman, Yarmouk
University in Irbid and Al Balqa Applied University in Salt. These are all public universities. An example of a
newer university is the German-Jordanian University in Amman, which was set up in 2005 CE. It is a
collaboration between the MOHE and Germany’s Federal Ministry of Education and Research, and it follows
Germany’s model of education in Applied Sciences. For students who wish to complete their university studies

Sociologists have been looking into this question for hundreds of years. They have now begun to look
at not just how people talk, but also how they think, asking whether the way we understand and remember
experiences is influenced by language. As a result of these studies, they have come up with some
interesting results.
A lot of research has been carried out on the relationships between mind, world and language. In one
study, a psychologist points out that when describing an event, English speakers tend to mention the
person who was responsible. Whereas English speakers might say, ‘John broke the vase’, Spanish or
Japanese speakers would use a passive form. It is 15 believed that such differences between languages
have an effect on how their speakers understand events, and whether someone is blamed for an action or
In another study, speakers of English, Spanish and Japanese were asked to watch videos of two people
popping balloons, breaking eggs and spilling drinks, either on purpose or accidentally. Later, when asked
to recall the videos, the English speakers mentioned the person who did the action. The Spanish and
Japanese mentioned the person responsible for intentional events, but left this out when they considered

It is believed that the Italians were the first people to come up with a sign language system in the
sixteenth century. The idea was then taken to France in the seventeenth century, where the language
One of the early developers of sign language was Charles-Michel de ’Epée, whose mother tongue
was French. He picked up sign language while he was working with deaf people in Paris in the
eighteenth century. The language was being used by two deaf sisters as a form of communication. De
l’Epée then set up a school for deaf people, which was replicated across Europe. It was the first time
that sign language was actively taught, and it made an enormous 10 impact on the lives of deaf people.
Just as there are different spoken languages in countries around the world, each country has its own
sign language. Sign language is used as a first language by about 70 million people in the world. The
use of sign and spoken languages does not differ. Both can be used to provide and share information,
tell stories, have informal discussions and give formal talks. Both have different registers and dialects,
Many varieties of the Arabic Sign Language have been developed, and there are almost as many
Recently, the benefits of learning sign language are being promoted not only to deaf people, but
also to those with normal hearing. In some schools, sign language is being offered as a foreign
language. Since, like all languages, sign language has a grammatical structure, it is now being
Learning sign language is of enormous benefit to anyone, whether they can hear or are deaf. Like

It is fascinating to observe the way language is absorbed by a baby. He or she quickly learns to respond to
certain sounds and words, for example ‘mum’ or ‘dad’. Then, after a few months, the baby starts to try out
experimental noises and mimic sounds. A one-year-old baby can probably say a few words – and
certainly understands a lot more. After two years, many children have a vocabulary of about fifty words.
With twins, however, the story might be a little different. First of all, their development is sometimes
slower. It is thought that this may be because some twins have less one-to-one interaction with adults than
single babies have, and they spend more time communicating with each other. Secondly, some twins seem
to develop their own unique language. While this is not very common, it is certainly fascinating. They
speak – and seem to understand – strange ‘words’ and sounds that nobody else can make out. This is
known as ‘cryptophasia’. Certainly, what they say isn’t understood by anyone else, but is it really a
language? the development by twins of a language that only they can understand.
Although it is tempting to believe that these twins really do make up their own secret language, the truth is
probably much simpler. Most experts think that as both children are experimenting with language at the
same time, and both have been presented with the same sounds and stimuli since birth, they are very likely
to recognize what the other one says. In other words, they are both developing their ‘real’ language at the
same pace and making the same mistakes along the way.

In this report, we will look at the countries that Jordan trades with and what goods it exports and
imports.
First, let’s look at exports. Jordan is rich in potash and phosphate, and the extraction industry for
these minerals is one of the largest in the world. Not surprisingly, two of Jordan’s largest exports are
chemicals and fertilizers. Pharmaceuticals and other industries represent 30% of Jordan’s Gross
Domestic Product (GDP), and 75% of Jordan’s pharmaceuticals are exported. However, the majority
(65%) of the economy is dominated by services, mostly travel and tourism.) Most of Jordan’s exports
go to Iraq, the USA, India.
Now let’s look at imports. Unlike some other countries in the Middle East, 10 Jordan does not have
large oil or gas reserves. For that reason, Jordan has to import oil and gas for its energy needs. Its other
main imports are cars, medicines and wheat. In 2013 CE, 23.6% of Jordan’s imports were from Saudi
Arabia. This was followed by the EU, with 17.6% of its imports. Other imports have come from China
and the United States.
Jordan has more free trade agreements than any other Arab country, and it 15 trades freely with
many countries, including the USA, Canada and Malaysia. Which other areas are important for Jordan’s
trade? Jordan first signed a trade agreement with the EU in 1997 CE. It signed a free trade agreement
with Egypt, Morocco and Tunisia in 2004 CE. In 2011 CE, another trade agreement was made with the
EU, Egypt, Morocco and Tunisia. Trade with the EU and North Africa in particular is likely to grow.

How to make a sales pitch
1- Do your research
Don't come away from a sales pitch wishing you had been better prepared. It is essential to know
everything about your product. Do you know when it was developed, and where it is produced? You
also need to know who the target market is – for example, the age group or income of the people who
might buy it. Not only that, you should know all about the competition – that is, similar products on the
market. Why is your product superior to others and why does it have better value?
In addition, you should know exactly which people you are speaking to, and what their needs are. For
example, if they represent a middle-class department store in a humble neighbourhood, be ready to explain
why your particular product would suit customers who do not have lots of money. What makes your
product perfect for them? Most of all, you need to believe in what you’re selling, and the best way to do
that is to use it!

clearly. It is important to appear confident (even if you’re nervous!). While you’re speaking, don’t keep
your head down. Instead, look round the room and make eye contact with your audience. Smile! When
you’ve finished speaking, invite questions. If you don’t know the answers, don’t pretend! Thank the
questioner and promise to find out the answer (and do it!). Finally, have a summary of your presentation
ready to hand out at the end of the session. I wish I had known all this when I started out in business!

My name is Fatima Musa and I have worked as an interpreter for five years. Many students
have emailed me about my work because they want to know what it would be like to do my job.
So here is 5 my reply.
I have always been fond of languages. My father worked in many different countries when I
was young and we usually travelled with him. When we visited a country, I always wanted to learn
the language.
At school I was very good at English. Therefore, I decided on a career as an interpreter.
My job now involves going to important conferences and seminars around the world. When a
person speaks in English at a conference, I listen to what they say through headphones. I then
translate into Arabic while the speaker is talking. I give the translation through headphones to other
people at the meeting. This means that anyone in the room who speaks Arabic can understand what
people are saying. Is it an easy job? Not at all. English is not the same in all English-speaking
countries. For example, the
English words that are used in India are sometimes different to the words that people use in
the UK, the USA or Australia. As well as knowing regional English, you also need to know a lot
of specialist language. Some of the words that are used to talk about business, science or law, for
example, make it almost a different language!
Unless you have a language degree, you will not be able to become an interpreter. Provided
that you have a postgraduate qualification, you will probably get a job as an interpreter quite
quickly. If you get an interview for a job, you will need to show that you have good listening
skills and a clear speaking voice. You will also need to show that you can think quickly and that
you are able to concentrate for long periods of time. If you are successful, it is a secure and
rewarding job. You will probably need to travel a lot, but that is not a problem as long as you
enjoy visiting other countries
It is a very responsible job. I am aware that if I translate things badly, it could affect an
important law or trade agreement between countries. However, you get a huge feeling of
satisfaction when you know that people understand everything that you translate.

Business Studies is a popular choice for students who are choosing a degree course in the UK. After
graduating, some go on to further study, but most of them take up employment. Many large companies
offer graduate training schemes, which are a kind of apprenticeship. We went to meet twenty-two-year-
old Ricky Miles, who is about to graduate in the subject.
It’s a four-year course, including two periods of work experience. Each one lasted six months, but
they weren’t in the same year.
Quite a lot! Maths, of course, Accounting, Finance and Economics. Oh yes, Marketing and Sales, too.
I also did a 20course in Management, which is about recruiting and managing staff, and how to deal with
conflict, and a course in Advertising. We all had to do IT, too, because computer skills are essential.
The work experience, definitely. I learnt so much, both times, and of course it looks great on my
curriculum vitae. One of the companies offered me paid work last summer, so I managed to get even
more 30experience that way. Also, I wouldn't have had much money last year if I hadn't had that job!
-What kind of company was that, and what did you do there?
It was a company that provides financial products – savings and pensions, mostly. At first I just
‘shadowed’ different people, watching what they were doing. Then I did quite a lot of checking for them
– you know, checking their calculations. When I went back in the summer, I was in the sales department.
My job was to follow up web enquiries, and send out further information to possible clients. I enjoyed it,
and I wouldn't have had that opportunity if I hadn't done the work experience first.
I’ve just applied for a job with a bank. I have the right qualifications, but I know there will be a lot of
other applicants. I’ll just have to wait and see if I get an interview. If I do, I’ll have to prepare really
carefully.

The earth was green, the sky was blue: و السماء زرقاء, كانت االرض خضراء
I saw and heard one sunny morn ذات صباح مشمس رأيت و سمعت
A skylark hang between the two, ذكر قبرة يتعلق بين االثنين
A singing speck above the corn ; مثل بقعة صغيرة تغني فوق الذرة
A stage below, in gay accord,
في تناغم و مرح,و اسفل منه
White butterflies danced on the wing
, رقصت فراشات بيضاء و هي تطير
And still the singing skylark soared
, فيما ال يزال القبرة يحلق عاليا
And silent sank and soared to sing
. و يهبط صامتا و يحلق عاليا ليغني
The cornfield stretched a tender green امتد حقل ذرة اخضر يافعا
To right and left beside my walks ;الى اليمين و الى اليسار بجانب خطوات

Analysis
Answer the questions about the poem.
1. The poet uses many examples of alliteration. Find one example. What effect is the poet
trying to achieve with this technique?
Some word pairs alliterate (singing speck on line 4, listening long on line 15, listened longer on line
16), but there are also lines that alliterate: And still the singing skylark soared (line 7), And silent sank
and soared to sing (line 8) and While swift the sunny moments slid (line 14). Alliteration adds to the
rhythm of the poem and also links dissimilar words together (here we have soared and sank;
silent and singing).
2. Find two references to another listener, apart from the poet herself, in lines 10 to 16 of the
poem. Who or what is this listener?
The two references are I knew he had a nest unseen (line 11) (the female bird is sitting on the eggs);
Perhaps his mate sat listening long (line 15) (the female bird). The listener is the female skylark.
3. How do we know that the poet leaves the cornfield before the skylark has stopped singing?
She says, Perhaps his mate sat listening long, And listened longer than I did (lines 15–16). This
shows that the poet leaves the cornfield but speculates that the bird’s mate might still be listening to
the song: therefore, the bird must still have been singing.
4. List the colours that have been used in the poem. What do you think they symbolise?
Green, blue, white.
I think that green symbolises the freshness of nature;
It is used in conjunction with blue to emphasise how bright and vivid nature can be.
White is used to symbolise the purity and elegance of the butterfly.

by Jules Verne
The story, set in 1873 CE, is about an Englishman, Mr Phileas Fogg, who is trying to complete a
journey around the world in eighty days. At this point in the story, he and his travelling companion,
the Frenchman Mr Passepartout, are travelling through India by train. They have befriended another
traveller, Sir Francis Cromarty.
The train stopped at eight o’clock, in the midst of a glade some fifteen miles beyond Rothal, where
there were several bungalows and workmen’s cabins. The conductor, passing along the carriages,
shouted, ‘Passengers will get out here!’
‘No. There’s still a matter of fifty miles to be laid from here to Allahabad, where the line begins
again.’
‘Yet you sell tickets from Bombay to Calcutta,’ retorted Sir Francis, who was growing warm.
‘No doubt,’ replied the conductor, ‘but the passengers know that they must provide means of
transportation for themselves from Kholby to Allahabad.’
‘Sir Francis,’ said Mr Fogg quietly, ‘we will, if you please, look about for some means of
conveyance to Allahabad.’
‘Not at all, but I knew that some obstacle or other would sooner or later arise on my route.
Nothing, therefore, is lost. I have two gained days to sacrifice. A steamer leaves Calcutta for
133
المستوى الرابع عمر خالد عواد
أدبي/ علمي 078 9000 196
Hong Kong at noon, on the 25th. This is the 22nd, and we shall reach Calcutta in time.’
Mr Fogg and Sir Francis Cromarty, after searching the village from end to end, came back without
having found anything.
Passepartout, who had now rejoined his master, made a wry grimace, as he thought of his
magnificent, but too frail Indian shoes. After a moment’s hesitation, he said, ‘Monsieur, I think I have
found a means of conveyance.’
‘What?’
‘An elephant! An elephant that belongs to an Indian who lives but a hundred steps from here.’
‘Let’s go and see the elephant,’ replied Mr Fogg.
They soon reached a small hut. Enclosed within some high palings, was the animal in question. An
Indian came out of the hut, and, at their request, conducted them within the enclosure. The elephant,
which was reared, not to be an animal that merely carried things around, but for warlike purposes, was
half-domesticated. Happily, however, for Mr Fogg, the animal’s instruction in this direction had not
gone far, and the elephant still preserved its natural gentleness. Kiouni – this was the name of the
elephant – could doubtless travel rapidly for a long time, and, in default of any other means of
conveyance, Mr Fogg resolved to hire him. However, elephants are far from being cheap in India as
they are becoming scarce. Male elephants, as they are only suitable for circus shows, are much sought
after especially as the majority are domesticated. When therefore Mr Fogg proposed to the Indian to
hire Kiouni, he refused point-blank. Mr Fogg persisted, offering the excessive sum of ten pounds an
hour for the loan of the elephant to Allahabad. Refused. Twenty pounds? Refused also. Forty pounds?
Still refused.
Phileas Fogg, without getting in the least flurried, then proposed to purchase the animal outright, and
at first offered a thousand pounds for him. The Indian, perhaps thinking he was going to make a great
bargain, still refused.
At two thousand pounds the Indian yielded.
‘What a price, good heavens!’ cried Passepartout, ‘for an elephant.’
134
المستوى الرابع عمر خالد عواد
أدبي/ علمي 078 9000 196
It only remained now to find a guide, which was comparatively easy. A young Parsee*, with an
intelligent face, offered his services, which Mr Fogg accepted, promising so generous a reward as to
materially stimulate his zeal. The elephant was led out and equipped. Provisions were purchased at
Kholby, and, while Sir Francis and Mr Fogg took the howdahs* on either side, Passepartout got
astride the saddle-cloth between them. The Parsee perched himself on the elephant’s neck, and at nine
o’clock they set out from the village, the animal marching off through the dense forest of palms by the
shortest cut.
Vocabulary
Answer the questions.
1. What kind of house is a bungalow (line 6)?
A house with one floor
2. How does the word hamlet (line 9) suggest that there aren’t many houses or people in the area
where the train has stopped?
A hamlet is a very small village, which suggests that there are very few people and houses
4. What kind of facial expression is a wry grimace (line 30), and why did Passepartout’s face
show this expression?
It’s an expression that shows pain or unhappiness. Passepartout wasn’t happy because he
didn’t want to walk far, as he didn’t think his shoes would be sturdy enough.
5. Read line 36 again. Which words tell us that the elephant was kept safely away from direct
contact with humans?
enclosed, palings: The elephant was in a compound surrounded by high palings. In other
words, the animal was fenced in an area.

Comprehension
1. Answer the questions.
1. Why can’t the train continue its journey from Kholby to Allahabad?
The train cannot continue its journey because the railway line hasn’t actually been completed
2. Why is Sir Francis annoyed during his conversation with the conductor? What
expression is used to mean he is getting annoyed? (line 15)
He is annoyed because he feels cheated by being sold a ticket to somewhere the train doesn’t
go. ‘Growing warm’ means getting annoyed.
3. How does Mr Fogg deal with the situation when he discovers that his train journey
cannot continue? How does his attitude differ from that of Sir Francis? Look at lines 23
to 26.
Fogg says that he suspected that this might happen and suggests that they find another
means of transport. Compared to Sir Francis, he is very calm and confident and doesn’t show
any anger.
1. The conductor is unapologetic about having sold a ticket to Allahabad to the travellers, even
though the train will not take them there.
2. Mr Fogg is confident that he will still complete his journey in eighty days.
3. Passepartout feels worried about the prospect of walking the rest of the way to Allahabad.
4. Mr Fogg remains calm while he negotiates the sale of the elephant.
5. The guide is very enthusiastic about making the journey by elephant.

Ideas
1. Find a line in the story that represents the following ideas.
a) time ( lines 20 – 21)
b) money (lines 49 – 51)
c) transport (lines 41- 43)
2. Consider the idea of transport. Compare the train (lines 6–15) and the elephant (lines 38–45).
What are the advantages and disadvantages of each mode of transport mentioned, and how does
this relate to the rest of the extract?
Transport is an important theme in this story. These two passages describing a train’s unfinished route
and an elephant’s potential to be a good mode of transport are interesting since the railway is not
finished (line 11) and the elephant is needed to continue on their journey. The elephant, a live animal,
is described like a mode of transport; it ‘could doubtless travel rapidly and for a long time’. In this
situation, the man-made transport fails, whereas the animal seems to be a more positive investment.
3. Do you think that this story shows the importance of time? Justify your answer.
I think that this story shows the importance of time when Phileas Fogg is so precise about the number
of days they have to spare in line 24. It also references time in the passage where the elephant is
described (‘rapidly’, line 41). However, I think that more importance is given to efficiency, because
Phileas Fogg is not in a hurry; he is instead very well prepared (lines 23–25).
4. Read the following extract from the story. Find two examples of literary devices.
“The Parsee perched himself on the elephant’s neck, and at nine o’clock they set out from the
village, the animal marching off through the dense forest of palms by the shortest cut.”
“‘Yet you sell tickets from Bombay to Calcutta,’ retorted Sir Francis, who was growing warm.
‘No doubt,’ replied the conductor, ‘but the passengers know that they must provide means of
transportation for themselves from Kholby to Allahabad.’”
1. What is the expression that is used to mean that Sir Francis is getting annoyed?
“They soon reached a small hut. Enclosed within some high palings, was the animal in question. An
Indian came out of the hut, and, at their request, conducted them within the enclosure. The elephant
was reared as a half- domesticated animal”
1. how was the elephant reared?
2. Which words tell us that the elephant was kept safely from direct contact with humans?
“Not at all, but I knew that some obstacle or other would sooner or later arise on my route.
Nothing, therefore, is lost. I have two gained days to sacrifice. A steamer leaves Calcutta for
Hong Kong at noon, on the 25th”
1. What form of transport is a steamer?
2. Write down two cities are mentioned in the above lines.
