SUBIECTUL II: READING COMPREHENSION AND WRITING FUNCTIONS (30p)

An unexpected meeting

It was a bright summer morning and a warm breeze was blowing gently through the trees.
Pauline and Sally stood talking to the park ranger before they set off on a ten-mile hike to the next
campsite. “Be careful in the forest”, the ranger warned them, “and remember – this park is a bear
country. They aren’t usually dangerous, but if you see any, don’t get too close.”
The two friends followed a hiking trail through the forest until they came to a clearing in the
trees with a stream running through it. “Oh, look, Pauline!” said Sally. “Bears!” Two tiny bear cubs
were playing happily in the middle of the stream.
Sally immediately took a camera from her pack and began to take photos, but Pauline wondered
where the cubs’ mother was. Hearing a sudden noise, both women turned round and saw an enormous
bear.
There was nowhere to hide and no time to run away from the angry bear, so Pauline knew her
only chance was to play dead. “Lie down!” she cried in Sally’s ear. “Don’t move!” They lay absolutely
still, face down on the ground. They heard the bear approach, felt its hot breath as it sniffed them, then
finally heard it walking away.
They lay there for what seemed like hours, too frightened to move or speak. When they were
sure the bear had gone, they got up, crying tears of relief. “I can hardly believe we had such a lucky
escape!” Sally admitted, still shaking like a leaf.
