ON EXAMINATION UNIT 3 WITH MCQ
UNIT 3
SUMMERY
When the
writer first went to Harrow, he was amazed to see a huge swimming bath, larger
than anything he had ever seen. Boys spent long hours there, swimming,
sunbathing, and eating big buns. A common prank was to push others into the
pool unexpectedly.
One day, the
writer pushed a boy standing thoughtfully at the edge, holding his towel so it
would not get wet. To his shock, the boy turned out to be Amery, a powerful
Sixth Form student, Head of his House, Gym champion, and football player. The
writer, terrified and guilty, immediately apologized, saying he mistook him for
a smaller boy. He added humor by comparing Amery’s small size to his own
father’s.
Although
Amery was angry at first, he eventually laughed and forgave him. Thus, the
incident ended happily, teaching the writer a lesson about misjudging people by
appearance.
