1.
Read the passage: "Composting is a natural process that turns organic waste — such as fruit peelings, vegetable scraps, and garden clippings — into rich fertiliser for plants. To make a compost heap, you layer 'green' materials (like food scraps) with 'brown' materials (like dried leaves). Worms and microorganisms break down the material over time. Composting reduces the amount of waste sent to landfill and produces free, nutrient-rich soil. It is one of the simplest ways to help the environment at home."

Read the passage: "When Marcus arrived at the new school, every desk seemed to have an invisible 'reserved' sign on it. He sat at the back and tried to look uninterested, as if he didn't care that no-one spoke to him. At lunch, he ate alone and stared at his sandwich. But then a girl with bright green shoes plonked her tray next to his. 'You look like you're good at chess,' she said. Marcus looked up, surprised. 'Actually,' he said slowly, 'I'm incredible at chess.'"
How was Marcus feeling at lunch?

Read the passage: "Lena loved stories more than anything. One rainy afternoon, she climbed into the attic and found a dusty wooden chest. Inside was a collection of old letters tied with red ribbon. The handwriting was loopy and faded, but Lena read every word. They were from a girl named Clara, who had lived in the house one hundred years ago. As the rain hammered the roof, Lena felt a strange friendship growing across time."
What was the weather like when Lena made her discovery?
