Excellent Performance Awards
Academic award:
This is awarded to the best student of the
year. The school usually considers the
student’s marks in all school subjects, but,
in some schools, students get separate
awards for each subject.
Athletic award:
This award goes to students who are very
talented in sports and have helped their
team win. Only students who respect the
other players can get this award.
Perfect attendance award:
Perfect attendance means that a student
never missed a lesson and was in class on
time every day. Schools often give this award
every three months, or at the end of the year.
Student of the year award:
This great honour is for excellent
students in all areas. These students
have good marks, but also take part in
sports, cultural activities and anything
else the school organises. Finally, they
are an example for other students
to follow because of their excellent
character.
Good citizen award:
Schools encourage their students to
become good citizens. In fact, schools
prepare students to become useful
members of society. So, they award
students who offer help to other
students, are honest and responsible
and try to do what is best for the school.
B. Read again and write T for True or F for False.

Dear Diary,
I am not normally absent-minded, so what happened
today is something I will def initely never forget. Last
week I missed a lesson because I was ill. So the next
day, my teacher informed me about a test we had to
take on Sunday, which was on a novel. I generally
consider myself a good student and in most cases, I
do very well in tests. I had no rea son to believe that
this time would be dif ferent.
I studied hard all weekend, so when Sunday morning
came I felt conf ident a s well as pleased with myself.
Did I mention I wa s actually looking forward to
the test? Well, when I got into the classroom, my
classmates were nervou s. They were discu ssing a
specif ic chapter of the novel we had to study, saying
that it wa s impossible for them to remember all
the names of the countries included in the chapter.
But what did they mean? The novel was about a
teacher who stayed i n one place his entire life. I soon
realised what had happened. The novel I spent all
weekend reading wa s not the right novel. Naturally,
I failed the test. So much effor t for the wrong book!
Incredible, right?

B. Read again and answer the questions.
Calligraphy is the art of writing and it has
a long history. The word calligraphy means
‘beautiful writing’. Calligraphy is found in
many different cultures using many different
kinds of letters. Calligraphers usually work on
different kinds of paper with a pen or brush
and ink. It is a craft that needs a lot of skill
and experience.
Islamic calligraphy is well-known for its design and
beauty. Islamic calligraphy is found in ancient books,
but also on the ceilings and walls of mosques. It is also
common to find Islamic calligraphy cut into stone. Even
today, modern artists in the Islamic world use the rich
history of calligraphy to create impressive designs.
The calligraphy of east Asia is very well-known and
people from many countries like China and Japan
practise it. East Asian calligraphers use large brushes
to create letters. It may look quite simple, but it is
actually very difficult because there are many rules that
calligraphers have to follow.
Today, you can still see excellent calligraphy
especially on invitations to important events. It’s true
that with modern computer programs it is possible to
create beautiful writing quickly and easily. But many
people believe that it isn’t the same as traditional
hand-made calligraphy.
