LEXICAL & GRAMMAR COMPETENCE – TEST 12
What a Trick!
Lisa and I have been friends since the third grade. We both loved to ride our bikes and loved
spending the holidays, weekends, and summers together. One summer, we settled Q1_______
cleaning up her room. As soon as we started, Lisa’s mom called her for some help. Vacuuming was
my favorite part of cleaning, so I decided to clean up every spot. When I bent over to suck up the
dust under the dresser, I found a book with the word DIARY on it. The book was bright pink and
looked more like old scraps of paper than a diary. Usually I would not snoop in private belongings,
but when I picked it up from underneath the dresser I saw that the pages were messed up and I
decided to put them back together. While doing so, I saw my name in a passage that really
Q2_______ my attention: ‘It made me cry when Papa told me we’re moving to Sri Lanka. He told
me not to tell Nadine because it might break her heart. Well, I will just enjoy the last summer
I have now.’ Friends help me realize my good qualities. Even though I felt Q3_______ over the
situation, I decided not to spoil our friendship. At that point, I Q4_______ a vow to give Lisa the
best summer I could. The next day, Lisa had complete control. I Q5_______ her do things I even
hated doing. We went to the boring museum. We watched her stupid brother, Line, do his band
show. Finally, Lisa became Q6_______ of what I was doing. ‘Why are you doing all this? It’s not
my birthday or anything.’ ‘Lisa, I know you’re moving to Sri Lanka. I’ve read your diary,’ I
confessed. ‘Are you talking about this?’ Lisa held up the same pink notepad I saw the previous day
and started to laugh. ‘This notebook isn’t my diary. It was a novel I started on. I was making a story
about you and me.’ I felt relieved but confused and I couldn’t Q7_______ but ask, ‘What about the
title? It does say ‘DIARY’ on it?’ ‘I put that there so no one would read it until I finished. Do you
really think I would move to Sri Lanka and not tell you? Ha, that’s a laugh!’ Lisa exploded with
unstoppable laughter.
