Questions 21-27

Reading: The Saturday Repair Club

Read the article. Choose Right (A), Wrong (B), or Doesn’t say (C).

THE SATURDAY REPAIR CLUB

Nina Martinez is a student at Hillview School. Last autumn, she noticed that people were throwing away lamps, toys and other small things that could be fixed. She asked her science teacher, Mr Cole, for help, and together they opened a Repair Club in the school library.

The club met on the first Saturday of each month. Parents, older students and a local electrician called Omar volunteered there. Visitors brought lamps, toys and small kitchen machines. For safety, the club did not accept mobile phones or equipment that used gas.

At the first meeting, visitors brought eighteen items. The team repaired eleven of them. Four needed spare parts, and three could not be fixed. Repairs were free, but visitors could make a donation. The club used this money to buy tools. Nina also wrote a simple label explaining every repair.

This spring, the club moved to the community centre because the school library was too small. Nina hopes to offer short lessons about caring for bicycles, but she has not chosen a date yet.

Example: The club helps people use some objects for longer. - A (Right)

21.Nina helped to start the Repair Club last autumn.
22.Nina started the club without help from an adult.
23.The Repair Club meets every Saturday.
24.The volunteers repair mobile phones.
25.Visitors have to pay a fixed price for each repair.
26.The club uses donated money to buy tools.
