Welcome to the ♥«´¨`•° Kupika Virtual Academy °•´¨`»♥ English Page! The passages we are going
to be studying are:

For one mad magical moment I thought he was going to kiss me. Then he reached past me and pulled on a strap. He was
simply fixing my seatbelt for me.
'There now, safely strapped in,' he said, starting up the car. 'What did you do this evening, then?'

1. How do you think the person telling the passage felt when he simply did her seatbelt?
2. Do you think she was glad he didn't kiss her?
3. How would you have reacted?

Once on a dark winter's day, when the yellow fog hung so thick and heavy in the streets of London that the lamps
were lit and the shop windows blazed with gas as they do at night, an odd- looking little girl sat in a cab with her
father, and was driven rather slowly through the big thoroughfares.

1. Where do you think the cab was going?
2. Explain your answer.
3. How would you have felt if you were going there?

I think I'm going to get a stepmother....
It's so awful, I don't even want to think about it! But what makes it worse is she is my teacher at school! What am I
going to say to her when she finds out I'm her date's daughter? She'll probably hate me...

1. Why do you think the author is worried about getting a stepmother?
2. Would you be worried if you were in this situation?
3. What do you think would be the end result?

I will set each student a set of one of these questions in a letter. This will be classed as homework.
