You have chartered a yacht with three friends, for the holiday trip of a lifetime across
the Atlantic Ocean. Because none of you have any previous sailing experience, you
have hired an experienced skipper and two-person crew.
Unfortunately in mid Atlantic a fierce fire breaks out in the ships galley and the
skipper and crew have been lost whilst trying to fight the blaze. Much of the yacht is
destroyed and is slowly sinking.
Your location is unclear because vital navigational and radio equipment have been
damaged in the fire. Your best estimate is that you are many hundreds of miles from
the nearest landfall.
You and your friends have managed to save 15 items, undamaged and intact after
the fire. In addition, you have salvaged a four man rubber life craft and a box of
matches.
Your task is to rank the 15 items in terms of their importance for you, as you wait to
be rescued. Place the number 1 by the most important item, the number 2 by the
second most important and so forth until you have ranked all 15 items.
I have included three different exam papers for EDUQAS GCSE English Language paper 1 reading. For each one I have provided grade 9 answers for your students' revision. Very clear and informative.
This means you have 15 different grade 9 answers. Really helped the students a lot.
