a The Fox's Dance b The Monkey as King
One day, all the animals from the jungle were sitting in a circle. They were feeling excited because this was the day to choose their new king.
The animals took turns to give a speech about why they wanted to be king. When the fox was giving his speech, a lot of the other animals were getting bored, and they weren't listening. Then it was the monkey's turn, but he didn't give a speech. He danced, made silly faces and made the other animals laugh. They decided to make the monkey king.
The fox knew it was a bad decision, and he was angry. The monkey didn't have the right qualities to be a good king. He decided to play a trick on the monkey. 'I've got a present for you,' he told the monkey. 'Follow me.' The monkey followed him. All the animals were watching.
As they were walking through the jungle, the fox pointed towards a tree. 'Look at all those bananas!' he said. As the monkey was running to the tree, he fell into a trap. 'Help! Help!' he shouted. He wasn't dancing now.
'How can the monkey look after us and be our king?' asked the fox. 'He can't even look after himself.' The animals realised that they were wrong. 'You are our king now,' they told the fox. 'You are clever and you can protect us.'

Как найти каждый ответ
- 1. Ключевое слово — excited. В тексте: «They were feeling excited because this was the day to choose their new king». Вопрос начинается с Why, поэтому в ответе because + причина.
- 2. Ключевые слова — fox's speech. В тексте: «When the fox was giving his speech, a lot of the other animals were getting bored, and they weren't listening». Вопрос про чувства (How did … feel), поэтому в ответе слово bored.
- 3. Ключевые слова — choose the monkey. В тексте: «He danced, made silly faces and made the other animals laugh. They decided to make the monkey king». Причина — не речь, а то, что обезьяна рассмешила зверей.
- 4. Ключевое слово — decide. В тексте: «He decided to play a trick on the monkey». Это предложение можно взять в ответ дословно.
- 5. Смотри последний абзац: обезьяна бежит к бананам, падает в ловушку и кричит «Help! Help!»; лиса говорит: «He can't even look after himself», и звери отвечают: «You are our king now».
Проверка
- В ответах 1, 3 и 5 есть причина — это вопросы Why.
- В ответе 2 использовано слово чувства bored, как требует вопрос How did … feel.
- В ответе 5 важно не писать, что лиса столкнула обезьяну: в тексте обезьяна сама падает в ловушку, когда бежит к дереву.
Общий принцип для похожих заданий: подчёркивай в вопросе ключевое слово (excited, speech, choose, decide, end) и ищи его в тексте — ответ почти всегда стоит в том же или соседнем предложении.
