Reading (All Clear 6, 3-6) II term test

My first job

When I was 14, I got my first job. I started doing a newspaper round. It’s one of the most popular first jobs for boys and girls in England and you must be at least 13 years old before you can do it. In my job, I got up at six o’clock in the morning every Saturday and Sunday and delivered newspapers to different houses in my village. I earned £5 an hour and it took three hours to do the newspaper round on Saturday, and four hours on Sunday because my bag was heavier and my round was longer.

Doing a newspaper round isn’t easy. You must get up very early and you mustn’t be lazy or unreliable. You should also be fit and strong. It’s hard but it’s fun. I don’t do a paper round anymore, but my younger sister Sally is going to do my old paper round in the summer. I’m stronger than her but she’s fitter than me, so I think she’s going to be a great newspaper delivery girl!

Read the text and circle T (true) or F (false).

The writer started delivering newspapers when he was 13.
