TASK 2 (5 x 1 marks = 5 marks) MARK
Read the following text about a haunted house and choose the correct
answer A, B or C for the following questions. Number 0 is an example.
Please, copy your answer in the answer sheet.
THE HAUNTED HOUSE
I'm going to tell you about my Aunt Helen's house. It's not her main house, that's in the city,
this is by the lake. I think there's a ghost there! Helen says that I've got an over-active
imagination, but there are many things that happen there that cannot be explained.
One day, I went to find my Aunt to say "good morning" before breakfast and I heard her
talking in a room she usually never uses. I think it used to be the nursery of the house
when Miller's Ford was a busy town in the 19th Century. I listened at the door and could
hear Helen reading something out, or perhaps dictating a letter. I couldn't hear any other
person with her so it wasn't a normal conversation. Half an hour later, I heard my aunt's
car arriving in her car. She had been to the local store. I couldn't believe it!
"Why are you looking so shocked?" she asked me.
"I thought you were in the old nursery " I replied.
"I haven't been in that room for fifteen years." she said.
Then, one day in my local library, I found a story in an old newspaper. The story was that a
baby had died in one of the houses by the lake at Miller's Ford and the babysitter was
blamed. But she spent all her time in the kitchen writing her letters and didn't know that
someone had climbed in the baby's window and taken her. The baby was never found.
The woman killed herself through depression after the baby's disappearance and local
people then said her ghost stayed very close to where the baby was left - in the nursery.
I never went back to that house, despite my Aunt Helen's many invitations.
