TASK:
“The Strange Soldier”
(5 x 2 = 10 marks)
Read the following text about a soldier. Choose the TRUE sentences
according to what you read.Write the correct number in the white boxes.
MARK
It was a beautiful sunny morning in Mexico City. The
date was October 10th, the year was 1593.
In the main square of the city, soldiers stood in front of the Royal
Palace. The people of the city came and went as usual. But there was
something strange about one of the soldiers: he wore a different uniform
from the others, and had a different type of gun. When the other soldiers saw
him, they began asking him questions. ‘Who are you? Where are you from?’
one of the other soldiers asked. ‘I am a Spanish soldier,’ he answered ‘and
because the governor died last night, it is my job to stay in front of the
palace here’. ‘The governor?’, the other soldiers asked, ‘The governor of Manila, of course’ the
soldier answered. The other soldiers told him he was in Mexico City - thousands of kilometres from
the city of Manila.
The young soldier was amazed and had no idea how he came to be in a city so far from his
home. Nobody believed his strange story. In the end, they put the young man in prison, and left him
there until they decided what to do.
Two months later, a Spanish ship arrived from Manila. It brought news that the governor of
Manila was dead - and the time of his death was 10 pm on the evening of October 9th, 1593.
Was the young man´s story true?
Four hundred years later, no one knows how it was possible for a man to travel across the
world in one night... without knowing how or why.
