Text 1. The following text is for question no 16-18
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to complain about the Cataway that I purchased from you in July. It is not working
correctly.
I received the product on 23 rd March. Following the instructions in the box, I carefully set up the
Cataway in the corner of our garden. I allowed it to charge for the required 6 hours before turning it
on.
Once it was turned on, the Cataway completely ignored all the cats that wandered in and out of our
garden. It did, however, squirt water both at my daughter and at my self. This was not very pleasant.
I purchased this product to get rid of cats, not to provide outdoor showering facilities for my family.
I would either like this faulty product replaced with a working version or a full refund on the money
I have wasted. I expect to receive a response to my letter within 14 working days or I will seek legal
advice.
Yours faithfully,
Mrs. Jane Markey.

Text 8 for the questions 39 to 40
Angry mountains of fire!
There are hot spots in the Earth's crust where heat melts underground rock. As the rock melts,
gases are released and mix with molten rock called magma. The magma bubbles and rises,
cutting through the rock, creating a channel. It then accumulates in a magma chamber deep
underground.
Over time, high pressure caused by both the magma and gases build up in the chamber, forcing
the magma to rise and causing the volcano to form as a mountain. Then it violently explodes out
the top and even the sides of the volcano! Fiery rocks and ash rain down from out of the sky after
an eruption. But sometimes, lava, which is what the magma is called after it comes out of the
volcano, quietly oozes out of one or several holes ( called vents ) with no explosion at all.
