Questions 21-27

Read the article about a woman who works as a clown. Are sentences 21-27 ‘Right’ (A) or ‘Wrong’ (B)?

If there is not enough information to answer ‘Right’ (A) or ‘Wrong’ (B), choose ‘Doesn’t say’ (C).


I was eighteen when I left school and I knew exactly what

I wanted to do: become a clown. So I moved to the city and

after some time started lessons at a clown school. At the

same time, I worked as a waitress.

Five years have passed since I finished my clown classes.

At first, I worked as a clown in the city where I was living.

I wasn’t a circus clown but a birthday clown. That’s a clown

who goes to children’s birthday parties and makes sure

everyone has a good time. I didn’t earn much money but

I enjoyed my work a lot. After a year I decided to move

back to the town I came from because I missed my mother,

father and two sisters.

There are no other birthday clowns in my town so I am

very busy. When I go to a party, I do magic tricks and

make things from balloons. The children love my balloon dogs and elephants. They are so

excited when they see me coming in my orange wig and big red nose. I think I have one of

the best jobs in the world.
