104-year-old woman learns to read and write (6th December, 2021)
A 104-year-old woman from Kerala, India has passed a state literacy test. Her name
is Kuttiyamma and she only learned to read and write last year. Despite having just a
year's tuition and being somewhat older than the average pupil, Kuttiyamma passed her
tests with flying colours. She achieved a score of 89 per cent on the Kerala State
Literacy Test. Such was her inspirational achievement, Kerala's education minister
congratulated her. He tweeted: "With the utmost love and respect, I wish Kuttiyamma…the
best." He uploaded a photo of the star student in which she is grinning from ear to ear.
Another person tweeted: "I salute Kuttiyamma for her dedication. It will inspire others for
sure."
Kerala state has India's highest literacy rate at 96.2 per cent and invests heavily in
education. It has a strong focus on adult education, which Kuttiyamma benefited from.
Her endeavours prove that age is just a number and that we can achieve anything when
we put our minds to it. Kuttiyamma did not have a formal education as she did not go
to school. However, her state-assigned tutor called her "a very sharp woman". He said his
student was "overjoyed" after she saw her test results. A state official said: "Kuttiyamma
is a role model and motivation to all women in adult education". Kuttiyamma said she
wants to start writing letters and continue her studies to improve her skills.

The two most famous faces in Britain today belong to two women who appear on
television almost every night. If you open any popular magazine or newspaper you’ll
almost certainly see an article about one of them, with lots of photographs. Their names
are Susan Rippon and Anna Ford. Susan reads the 9 o’clock news on BBC Television,
and Anna reads the 10 o’clock news on Independent Television.
Most news announcers on British television are men, and when Susan began her job
at the BBC three years ago, she was the first woman news announcer. Newspapers and
magazines started to take an interest in her and reporters started to write about her. Lastyear, Independent Television also decided to have a woman news announcer and they
chose Anna Ford.
When Anna read the news for the first time on the 10 o’clock program, millions of
people who don’t normally watch the program decided to watch it that night, to see
Anna Ford.

only 1 degree, and tomorrow night it will be close to 1 degree below zero. We'll see a
little snow on Friday afternoon, but this weekend, it is really supposed to come down!
We're expecting nine to ten inches of snow on Saturday and Sunday, and that means even
more snow in the mountains! ⑲Some reports show that we'll get four feet of snow on
Mount Clementine by the end of the weekend. ⑳But it looks like things are just getting
started because next week we're supposed to have snow every day except Wednesday,
which, as you all know, is Christmas Eve. But don't worry! ⑳The forecast is showing
that we'll have a white Christmas, so when you wake up on Thursday morning, you
should have some beautiful scenery to enjoy with your family!

M: He’s been here since the beginning.

a week, on Saturday afternoons.

M: The lesson is free. In exchange, the students will be doing three hours of farm work
related to the class.

W: Before our last break, we were talking with John Phillips and his new movie Earthquake.
What was the most difficult aspect of the filming process?
M: The action scenes. We wanted them to look as real as possible, so we built all these fake
buildings and structures and then destroyed them.
W: Wow! You did this to make the movie appear more real?
M: Yes. Most movies these days are made in front of a “green screen”. It makes it harder for
my actors to do their job. So, I wanted to make one that had as few special effects as possible.
W: An earthquake movie with no special effects?
M: Ha-ha. Well, I didn’t say there wouldn’t be “any”.
W: When will it come out?
M: The first showing is on Saturday, June 22nd, but that is just for the actors. It comes out the
following weekend in North America and in Hong Kong, China on July 10th.
W: Well, I wish you luck with the movie and thank you for coming on the show.
M: It was my pleasure.

M: You look really well! Have you been on vacation?
W: Sure. I was in China.
M: Nice. How was it?
W: I had a wonderful time. It was really nice to get away from work.
M: Where did you go?
W: Hainan Island and Qingdao.
M: How did you like Hainan Island?
W: Well, it’s cleaner than I thought it would be, and there are lots of trees, so I liked it betterthan I thought I would. But it’s huge! And it’s really hard to get around. The ship service is
terrible, and of course, they don’t have a subway system. We had to rent a car.
M: And was the weather good?
W: Oh, yes. It was nice and warm in Hainan Island.
M: What about Qingdao?
W: The weather? It was cooler than Hainan Island.
M: Cool in Qingdao? That’s surprising.
W: Yeah. And it was a problem because we didn’t take any sweaters or anything, but they say
it’s always like that in December. Anyway, I loved it. It’s probably the most beautiful city in
China.
M: You’re lucky!

I will be collecting everyone’s cellphone before the exam. Please come to the front of the
room and put your devices into the basket. Personally, I don’t think anyone of you will use your
phones to cheat. However, I must take them because this state exam requires me to do it. I know
this test is extremely important to most of you, so I do not believe you would let your phones
interrupt you anyway. Now I am going to pass out some tape for you to write your name on your
phone so that none will be mixed up. I cannot give you the test paper until I have received a phone
or you have proved you do not have one with you. While you write down your names, I will go
over some details about the test. There are 10 questions on each page and 10 pages in total, each
page has a front and back side. Before you hand it in, make sure to fill out both. I would not return
your test paper once I have received it. I know this test seems scary, but you have all covered this
material before. In my mind, there is no doubt that everyone here will do very well. If you are
unsure of a question, skip it and then return to it later. Good luck, everyone.
