Reading and Writing Test 01
Three museums
Eureka!
Eureka! is a complete hands-on experience, which means that visitors can actually pick up
any object in the museum. It’s a great way for young visitors to learn about the world, the
body, how things work and move. And when you buy an entry ticket, it allows you to come
back as many times as you want for a whole year for no extra cost. As Eureka! is right next
to Halifax train station, it’s very easy to get to from all over the country.
Museum of Museums
Every time you visit the Museum of Museums, you’ll be able to see something different.
And that’s because the things you see there are actually lent by other museums around
the country. The museum always has lots of different vehicles, from ice-cream vans and
old motorbikes to the different kinds of public transport people used to get to work many
years ago. You can find out about all this and lots more.
Cinema Museum
Ronald Grant, who opened the Cinema Museum in the 1960s, travelled round the country
and bought things from cinemas which were closing down. This included old film posters
and wooden cinema seating. At the museum, you can now see these and much more,
including the uniforms that cinema staff once had to wear.
Please let us know by phone or email if you’d like to come. We’ll be happy to see you, but
we need to arrange a guide, as it’s only possible to visit the museum on an organised tour.

Will’s blog
One day my dad said, ‘Why don’t we have a street party?’ This means that the street is
closed so cars can’t use it, and people put tables and chairs out in the street, then have a
party! Dad said there was one in 1977 and he still remembers it well. Everyone loved it! I
couldn’t believe that since 1977 they never had another one. If it was so good, why not do
it again?
We started to organise it, together with some other people. I helped to make the web
page, so everyone on the street knew about the party and could post their old photos from
the party in 1977. There were some pictures of my dad when he was a kid, together with
his friends, who have moved away from the street now. It was interesting to see that the
buildings on the street haven’t changed at all!
My mum was a bit worried about the party. ‘But a lot of people on the street don’t really
know each other’, she said. ‘What if they don’t have anything to talk about?’ I just said,
‘Relax, Mum. It’ll be great.’
So, what was the party like? It was fantastic! My friends and I really liked speaking to an
old lady called Louisa. She’s 89 and was telling us about when she and her friends were
our age. So now I always chat to her when I see her on the street. I didn’t know who she
was before, so I’m glad we had the party.
14 Why was Will surprised?
A His father wanted to have a street party.
B There hasn’t been a street party for a long time.
C Many people remembered the last street party.
15 What did the photos from 1977 show?
A The street still looks the same now.
 B There are more children living in the street now.
C The same people still live on the street now.
16 Why was Will’s mother worried?
A She thought that the party was too expensive.
B She thought that people might not come to the party.
C She thought that the guests might not talk to each other.
17 Will and his friends enjoyed
A hearing Louisa’s stories.
B meeting Louisa’s friends.
C telling Louisa about their lives.
18 What is the best title for the article?
A Why I love street parties
B The street party we had
C How to have a street party
