o Test 15 examiners’
Read the following text and answer the questions given below. use only

The balloon took off quite slowly but, within minutes, they were high about the field. The
spectators were still waving to them but soon they too were out of sight.
It was Andy’s first Trip in a balloon and he felt nervous Pete, his companion, new all about
balloons- he went up in one every weekend if the weather was fine- but he was too busy to
answer Andy’s questions.
“Just enjoy it,” she said as they took off. “It’s a wonderful experience.” Andy was not sure. But
the view was interesting. He passed the time trying to make out landmarks- villagers, farms and
rivers. Everything looked so different from the air!
“Where are we heading for?” he asked Pete. Pete pointed towards the north.
That’s our general direction for the moment,” he said. “Unfortunately this wind keeps pushing
us towards those hills.” He pointed to some mountains in the west. “There is nothing to worry
about, though. I’ll take the balloon higher.”
A quarter of an hour later, Pete was beginning to look worried. They were close to some very
thick clouds. “I don’t like the look of these,” he said. A few minutes later they were in the middle
of the clouds and they could see nothing. Suddenly it was very cold.
“I wasn’t expecting weather like this,” Pete said. “Well let’s have some coffee to warm us up.”
He poured out 2 cups and handed one to Andy. Andy needed a hot drink at the moment.
“We’re still going towards those mountains, aren’t we?” he asked Pete. “Yes but don’t worry,”
Pete replied. We’ll go right over the top.” They drifted on and on through the clouds. Every
moment Andy expected the balloon to hit the side of the mountain. But it never happened.
Suddenly they were out of the sunlight again.
“The trouble is,” Pete said, “I’m not sure exactly where we are now!” Andy looked down. “Isn’t
that a farm down there?” he asked, pointing to some buildings. “Why don’t we land and ask?”
Pete hesitated. They were lost, but he did not want to ask for help.
“Alright,” he said in the end.
A few minutes later, they made a perfect landing only a couple of hundred yards from the
farmhouse. The farmer came out to greet them.
“You’re a long way from home!” he said in answer to Pete’s question. “Well, we’ll think about
that later. Come in and join us for tea. It isn’t often that people come to visit us by balloon!”
