a).
Student
A
Picture A shows a man getting out of
his car on the street. He has been stopped by the police. Perhaps he drove
through a red light or he may have been speeding. Picture B, on the other hand,
shows a woman in a witness box in a courtroom being questioned by a lawyer. She
may be a witness or she may be a defendant. Both situations would be very
stressful because the consequences of each person’s actions could be severe.
The man could be arrested, he may lose his licence or he may receive a fine and
a ticket. The woman could go to jail or could be responsible for sending
someone else to jail. I think the courtroom situation in picture B is probably
the most stressful because it is a very serious situation with far-reaching
consequences.
b).
Student
B
I think that
the laws should be very strict so that the punishment fits the crime. In this
way, criminals will think twice before committing a crime and hopefully the
world would be a safer place.
c).
Student
B
Picture A
shows a group of young people who are walking in the countryside. Picture B
also shows people in the countryside, but they are two older women. Both
pictures show friends. The teenagers in picture A look like they are on
holiday. Perhaps they are staying at a summer camp and are taking a walk in the
surrounding area on a Sunday afternoon. They don’t have any backpacks with them
so it must be a short walk. In contrast, the two women in picture B do have
backpacks so they are probably on a longer walk. They could be on a walking
holiday.
d).
Student
A
I think a
good friend is someone who is always there for you. They will listen to your
problems and try to help. They will share the good times and the bad times with
you. A good friend is someone you share a special bond with who respects,
trusts and loves you and who you respect, trust and love in return.

Richard
Peck’s A Long Way from Chicago, is the story of an elderly Joey Dowdel
recounting the summer holidays he and his sister, Mary Alice, had with their
grandmother every year starting in 1929.
It is set
during the years of the Great Depression in rural Illionis. Young Joey Dowdel
takes us on a journey with his sister from Chicago
The main
characters are very interesting and funny. The minor characters are often
strange, but completely believable and typical of those that are found in a
small country town. Richard Peck is a fantastic storyteller and weaves these
characters into a series of stories set against a realistic Depression era
landscape.
This book
will appeal to both young and old alike with its funny stories and wonderfully
memorable characters. I highly recommend it.
