B Reading Comprehension
2 Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
Dear Amal,
In your last email, you told me about your aunt. I am very impressed that she is going to get a degree in law now that her children have left home. You asked me if I knew anyone else who had studied when they were older. I don’t know anyone, but I heard about an amazing woman in a report on the radio. The report said that a woman had started primary school at the age of 90! The woman, whose name is Priscilla Sitienei, lives in a rural village in Kenya. When she was younger, she was not able to go to school. She worked for 65 years as a nurse. Although she was good at her job, she never learned to read or write. In 2003, the government of Kenya said that primary school would be free for everyone for the first time. Priscilla wanted to learn
to read and write and decided to go primary school with six of her great-great-grandchildren. She said that it was never too late to learn new skills and she wanted to inspire other adults to do the same. Now she is learning maths, English and PE. She wears the same blue and green uniform as her fellow pupils.
The head teacher of the school said that Priscilla was loved by every pupil and that they all wanted to learn and play with her. At break, she tells the other pupils about the customs that she grew up with. At the end of the report, Priscilla said that she wanted to tell the world’s children that with education, they could be whatever they wanted. She is certainly a remarkable woman!
Best wishes,
Azza
