Ⅵ. Read the passage and choose the best answers.
Eight-year-old James began his first job this year—as a tester for a toy factory. He plays with new toys before anyone else and says what he thinks of them. His reviews are posted on the internet so that other children can see them. He doesn’t get money, but every month the toy factory gives him some toys!
James became a toy tester after winning a competition. Children had to write to the toy factory and say why they should get the job. James worked very hard so that he could win. He wrote a long letter, drew some pictures and added a photo of himself dressed as Pierro, his favourite toy character. “James’ letter made us excited and moved,” said a factory worker. “Toy testers need to give us good feedback. They also need to think of ways to make the toys better. They even need to come up with ideas for new ones! James is great at all of these things.”
Before he started his job, James had some speech problems and he was shy. However, “The job has made James more confident and less shy,”said his mum. His teacher agreed. “James is better at talking to people now,” he said. “He has
also become very hard-working! He wants to show everyone that he can keep up with both his job and his schoolwork.”
James is a caring and warm-hearted boy. After he got the free toys from the factory, he gave some of them to his primary school. He is also going to give some to the hospital so that more children can enjoy them. It seems that everyone is benefiting from James’ new job.
