IV. Read the passage. For each question, choose the correct answer.
Many years ago, my village was very poor. The villagers had to work hard in the fields all day
but couldn’t earn much. Many people had to live in houses made of straw and mud, and few
families had a radio or a TV set. However, in spite of the shortages, the villagers managed to send
their children to school and college. They hoped that with a better education, their children could
find a way of bettering their lives.
The children have met their parents’ wishes. When they came back from college or technical high
school, they introduced modern farming methods, which resulted in bumper crops. Soon, the
lifestyle of my village changed. Today, people live in brick houses. In the evening, they can listen
to the news on the radio or watch TV for entertainment. Sometimes they go to town on their
motorbikes to do some shopping or to visit their friends.
“Our lives have changed a lot thanks to the knowledge our children brought home,” said an old
farmer, “and I always tell my grandchildren to study harder so that they can do even more for the
village than their parents did”.
