Dear parents, in view of the recent swine flu, the school requires the girls to have their thermometers ready in the bags everyday. Please ensure that their thermometers are in working conditions. There will be a temperature taking exercise tomorrow before lessons begin. Tomorrow is Wednesday, where I'll see the girls at 7am. We will be working on Grammar tomorrow.
- English Comprehension 2

(passage 1)
Once, there was a huge frog. He was so thirsty one morning that he drank almost all the water in the pond. The tadpoles and the fish in the pond were worried. They asked the wise owl for help.
"You must make the frog laugh," the owl advised. "When he laughs, the water he has drunk will come pouring out of his mouth."
So, the tadpole told a funny story. He laughed before he could even finish it. But the frog did not find it funny. Then, the fish sang and did funny actions. Still, the frog did not laugh.
Finally, the eel began to dance. As he did so, he accidentally tickled the frog's huge round belly. The frog began to laugh and lots of water came gushing from his mouth.
(passage 2)
James was thirsty when he woke up in the night. He picked up his pitcher and walked to the well in the yard. When he leaned over it, he saw the moon in the water.
"The moon has fallen into the well!" he exclaimed. He ran back into the house, grabbed a long rop and dashed back to the well. He threw the rope into the well. James hoped that the hook that was tied to the end of the rope would help him fish out the moon.
Suddenly, the hook caught something in the well. James pulled hard. He lost his balance and landed flat on his back. When he looked up, he saw that the moon was back in the sky.
"I've succeeded," James thought happily.
