Writing

a.      Narrate, in short, a folktale that you have read or heard.

Old Man and His Lazy Sons

Long ago, there was an old man who lived in a village with his family. He had a piece of land where he could grow a lot of grain for his family. The old man wasn't happy, although he was rich. His sons were very lazy. Because of their laziness, they didn’t help their father in farming. He called his sons and asked why they didn't take care in farming. He was very angry and blamed them for being all very foolish. Finally, he advised them not to waste their time. The farmer was very wise, so he made his sons work hard. He called his sons and told them to take out the money from his land, which he had buried. When the old man died, they dug the whole land. In return, a lot of grain was produced. Then, they realized that if they hadn't dug the land, they wouldn't have gotten a lot of grain. So we can say that if you want to be happy, work hard. Everyone will be satisfied.

b.     Describe a strange dream that you have seen recently.

My Strange Dream

I went to sleep with the hope that I would have a good dream. But my hopes faded as I had a very bad nightmare. It was a normal Monday, and we were in the classroom. We had English. In a moment, the sky turned black. We were scared. The windows started to rattle, and the walls started to shake. We saw how some electric poles started to run in the field near our school. People ran very fast towards our school. Behind the group of those people, there were a boy and a girl running. They looked nice. The girl had orange hair. In her hand, there was fire, and she was all smoky.

The boy was different. He had a fin on his backbone, and he had sharp teeth. They broke the glass on the windows and came into our classroom, and then they took me away. I was trembling and for a moment I forgot to breathe. Then they put me in some flying object, and we flew to the other planet. If you could only see the planet – it was full of candies! They said to me that I had to save their planet because I could dream about their planet every day, and every day I had a different dream. In one of my last dreams, I turned good people into bad people, and now these bad people wanted to ruin the planet. I stood there motionless, thinking about those bad people. It was the knock at my door by my mum that woke me awake.
