1. From the society

Sometimes kids skip school. This means that they do not go to school. But kids need to go to school to learn, so people from the school call the parents of these kids and they want to tell the parents that their kids are missing school a lot. People from the school also try to set up meetings with these parents, but some of them do not come to the meeting and they do not seem to be worried that their kids are skipping school.

What problem is the text about?

6. The city of Verdun

We live down by the river. It’s a poor area and there’s a lot of crime, but the shops are good and there are a few good restaurants. The shopping area is not attractive, but it is changing. Public transport is excellent and we’re near the city centre. In the summer, Verdun is the place to be. The river here is really beautiful and you can have picnics in the park. There isn’t enough nightlife for us, so we go to another city for that.

What does the writer say about Verdun?

9. The British car industry

If you know about cars, the “Mini” is a legend; and in that legend there is one very special type of Mini that is an even bigger legend; the Mini Cooper. The original “Mini”, which first came out in 1959, remained in production for over 40 years - an incredible success story in the rather unsuccessful modern British car industry. And for most of that time, the most exciting Mini of them all was the Cooper.

What does the text say about the “Mini”?

10. A news item

A new survey indicates that more than thirty million Chinese children are suffering from mental health or behavioural problems. The survey found that up to 22% of Chinese children suffered from emotional problems like depression and showed problematic behaviour like lying, stealing and aggression. These children are born under the one child policy, so they have no siblings. Psychologists say they are often spoilt by their parents so they are unable to cope with difficulties.

What is the best title for the news item?
