Read this practice adaptation based on English for Today, Unit 6, Lesson 1, and answer Questions 1–3. The wording is adapted for this model. Nepal brings natural beauty and cultural heritage together. Kathmandu is its capital. In the Kathmandu Valley, the ancient cities of Patan, Kathmandu and Bhaktapur are known for their architecture and religious monuments. UNESCO has recognised seven monument zones in the valley as World Heritage Sites. Nepal is also important to people of different faiths. Lumbini, in the southern plains, is the birthplace of Gautam Buddha and a destination for Buddhist pilgrims. Hindus visit the Temple of Pashupatinath. Hindu and Buddhist communities have lived alongside one another for centuries. Some temples and shrines are shared, and many people combine practices from both traditions. Such places remind visitors that cultural heritage includes buildings as well as the ways people live together.

৪. Information transfer · ৫
Read this ORIGINAL FICTIONAL account for Questions 4–5. On 5 March 2026, Tania, a teacher at fictional Disha School, started a repair club with 20 students. They used an empty storeroom and began with 24 damaged objects. They met every Saturday at ten in the morning. At each meeting, members would inspect an object and discuss a safe repair with their teacher. At first, some tasks required tools the students could not safely use. The teacher asked a trained adult to handle those tasks. Six weeks later, the group had 34 members. A local supporter provided 8 more damaged objects. The students kept a register and shared responsibilities. The project encouraged safe cooperation instead of rushing to finish. Members explained not only what they had done but also why they had chosen a particular method. When they could not support a claim, they recorded it as a question for another meeting. Complete each information entry with a short phrase or number.
