Reading Comprehension: An Extraordinary Lady
Read the story carefully, then complete the tasks that follow:
Many years ago, back in the seventies when I was young,
there used to be a Polish lady called Mrs Jankowski, who
lived in one of the flats in our building. Her husband died
many years ago and she lived with her cat Misty.
Everyone in the building liked her a lot and she liked
them. For the past few years, as she was getting older,
people in the building helped her as much as they could.
Some neighbours used to get her medicines, gave her a
lift in their car when she had a doctor's appointment. My mother liked to visit her
frequently and take her some homemade biscuits, cakes and pies. Others came and
brought her books, did some shopping for her and invited her to have Sunday lunch
with their family. She had a nice comfortable flat which she was very proud of.
Although she had been living in the UK for nearly forty years, she still had a
strong attachment to her native county, Poland. You could sense this through the
way she decorated her flat. As a child and until I got married, I used to like
visiting her to keep her company, play with Misty and to listen to her stories about
her childhood in Poland. She was a good storyteller. I visit Mrs J. whenever I go
over to visit my parents. She is like family to me and I love her dearly. My mother
called me a few days ago to tell me that Mrs J had a visitor for the first time
from Poland and to my utter surprise, she also told to me that it was her twin
sister.
