Jeremy Banks

Jeremy Banks played football for his school team and also

for his village club. He was an excellent player and hoped to

play for his country one day. Then, at the age of thirteen, he

hurt himself badly when he fell down a mountain. In

hospital, the doctors told him that his leg was broken in three

places. ‘You should forget about playing ball games, but

swimming will be good for your leg,’ the doctor said.

The footballer Tony Veers read about Jeremy in a newspaper and decided to visit him in

hospital. They spent a long time talking about football and Tony gave Jeremy three tickets

for England's next match against Scotland.

Jeremy went to the game in London with his parents and was happy when England won.

After the match, Tony invited them to a party with the England team. Jeremy enjoyed that

most of all.

That was two years ago. Jeremy didn't listen to the doctor and eight months after that terrible

day on the mountain, he was back on the football field. Six months later, he was playing

matches again. Tony took the England manager to watch Jeremy play and the manager

chose him for the national under-17s team. ‘I'm so happy,’ said Jeremy. ‘I've always wanted

to play for England. One day I'll be the best player in the team!’

Read the text. Are the sentences ‘Right’ or ‘Wrong’? If there is not enough information to answer ‘Right’ or ‘Wrong’, choose ‘Doesn’t say’.

Chinese Music in an English Village

Yang Jing usually plays her music in big halls in places like

New York and Paris. Yang plays an old Chinese musical

instrument called a pipa. She has been famous in China

for many years. Now she is 34 years old and the best pipa

player in the world. She usually gets $3000 each time she

plays.

A businessman called Peter Bloxham saw Yang playing in

China when he was on a business trip. Peter comes from

Cheswardine, a village in England. After the show, he talked to Yang. He told her that

his village needed to repair their old village hall, so Yang agreed to play there. ‘You can

use all the ticket money for your hall,’ she said. ‘You needn't pay me anything.’

Last week, Yang arrived in Cheswardine for her show. She said: ‘I usually stay in big hotels

where everything is fast and busy, so it is lovely to stay in a small place where everyone has

time to talk to me and be so nice. I don't suppose there are many people in this place who

have seen or heard a pipa before. I hope they will like my music.’
