Write questions based on the text: How long could you survive at sea? One day? Two? And when would you start to lose hope? When Robert Hewitt came to the surface, he realized straight away that something was wrong. He’d been diving for sea urchins and crayfish off the coast of New Zealand with a friend, and had decided to make the 200-metre swim back to shore alone. But instead, strong underwater currents had taken him more than half a kilometre out to sea. Lying on his back in the middle of the ocean, Robert told himself not to panic. He was a strong swimmer and he was wearing his thick wetsuit. 'I'm not going to die. Someone will come,' he told himself. But three hours passed and still no one had come for him. Robert would soon have to make a tough decision. He was now a long way from the coast and the tide was taking him further out, but he decided not to try to swim for shore. He felt it was better to save his energy and hold on to his brightly coloured equipment. But the decision was not an easy one. 'l just closed my eyes and said, "You've made the right decision. You've made the right decision" until that's all I heard,' he remembers. As night approached, Robert established a pattern to help him survive in the water. To stay warm, he kept himself moving and took short naps of less than a minute at a time. Every few hours, he called out to his loved ones: 'Just yelling out their names would pick me up and then I would keep going for the next hour and the next hour and the next.' When he woke the next morning, he couldn't believe he was still alive. Using his bright equipment, he tried to signal to planes that flew overhead. But as each plane turned away, his spirits dropped. He managed to drink water from his oxygen tank to keep himself alive, but as day turned to night again he started to imagine things. Robert woke on the third day to a beautiful blue sky. Now seven kilometres off the coast, Robert decided he had to swim for it. But the sun was so strong and Robert quickly ran out of strength. Hope turned to disappointment yet again: 'l felt disappointed in myself. I thought I was a lot fitter. I thought I would be able to do it.' Robert then started to think he might not survive. On the fourth day, the lack of food and water was really starting to affect him. Half unconscious, and with strange visions going through his head, he thought he saw a boat coming towards him with two of his friends in. Another vision, surely. But no - 'They put me in the boat and I said something like "Oh, how's it going, what are you guys doing here?"' Then he asked them the question that he'd asked in all his visions: 'Can I have some water?' As they handed him the water and he felt it touch his lips, he knew. This was not a vision. He'd been found! After four days and three nights alone at sea, Robert had been found! Sunburnt, hungry and exhausted, but alive.

Write reading comprehension questions based on the text: Apple's design genius. I've always loved great design. Ever since I can remember I've been fascinated by the shape and look of objects. In n opinion, Apple Inc. is the number one company in the world for product design. In the time that 'you're reading this article, around 750 iPhone and 300 iPads will be sold internationally. These iconic devices generate millions of pounds a day for Apple, and the man behind their iconic look is known as a 'design genius'. In 2013, Time Magazine listed him as one of the 100 most influential people in the world, but can you name him? If you said Steve Jobs, you'd be wrong, although it was Jobs who first recognised this man's talent. His name is Jony Ive. Born in London, Jony Ive studied industrial design at Newcastle Polytechnic. After graduating, he helped set up the London design agency Tangerine. In 1992, while he was working at Tangerine, he accepted a job offer from Apple. His first years in the job were tough and the design work wasn't very interesting. The company was also struggling to make money. However, when Steve Jobs returned to Apple in 1997 and saw the design work that Ive had produced, he immediately recognised Ive's ability and promoted him. Ive's first success in his new role was the design of the original, colourful iMac in 1998, which was quickly followed by the first iPod in 2001. Thanks to Ive's simple, elegant designs, Apple became one of the most successful companies in the world. Since then, he has been responsible for the iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. Ive's design involves not only the way these products look but also the way they work. He believes devices have to be both beautiful and practical. Jony Ive's key contribution to Apple is now being recognised and he has received numerous awards. There is no doubt that Steve Jobs was a larger-than-life ideas man and businessman who created a hugely successful company. However, without Jony Ive's design talent, Apple may not have become such a huge success. So what have I learnt from Jony Ive? That the best designs are often the simplest.

Write reading comprehension questions based on this text: It was getting late and Eric LeMarque decided to have one final run on his snowboard. As he was going down the mountain, he came across some thick fog and headed in the wrong direction. All of a sudden, he was completely lost. All he had with him was his snowboard, some bubble gum, and an MP3 player. Eventually, he remembered something he'd seen in a movie about using an MP3 player as a compass. This meant he was able to get an idea of where he was and head in the right direction, up the mountain. Eric was missing for a week. During that time, he fell in a river, almost went down a waterfall and had to walk through snow that was four and a half meters deep! On the eighth day he was seen by a helicopter that had been searching for him. He was completely exhausted but alive.

Write increasingly harder vocabulary questions based on the following text: Former US President Donald Trump is facing unprecedented criminal charges for his attempts to overturn his 2020 election defeat, making him the first president in US history to face criminal charges. The indictment is based on charges of conspiracy to defraud the United States and obstruct official proceedings. Specifically, Trump is accused of spreading false claims about election fraud, pressuring then-Vice President Mike Pence to reject electoral votes and change the election results, and inciting the Capitol riots on January 6, 2021. The indictment suggests that Mike Pence, the former Vice President, provided evidence against Trump. It details private phone calls where Trump repeatedly pressured Pence to block Joe Biden's victory. This development is particularly significant as it represents the third set of criminal charges filed against Trump in 2023, while he is actively campaigning for a return to the White House in the 2024 presidential election. Special Counsel Jack Smith noted that, although Trump is considered innocent until proven guilty, the actions of the mob during the Capitol riots were a direct "assault on democracy," fueled by lies and aimed at obstructing the certification of the presidential election results. This case will be closely watched as it unfolds, given its historical significance and potential implications for Trump's political future. Not only does it mark the first time a former president has faced criminal charges, but it also occurs at a time when Trump is actively seeking to return to political office, adding another layer of complexity to an already unprecedented situation.
