Q1) Ravi and his friends after graduation decided to take an extended celebration roadtrip. They decided to drive to Montreal and Quebec city. To visit night clubs and partying. It's there last time alltogether before starting at jobs, and settling down. Sharing expenses and driving. They rented a van, and set off on a bright summer day. Things began to go immediately wrong. The van broke down, their hotel reservation was lost, one of the friends got food poisoning. Each one encountered an obstacle they had to overcome. However, sharing these difficulties paradoxically strengthened they're freindship. Everyone returned home a little the worse for wear but they had great memories.
Q2) Shane and Tammy seem alike in many ways, both earn good grades and has quite, witty senses of humour: Tammy however, loves sports and the outdoors; while Shane perfers laying on the couch reading novels or to watch videos. Tammy plays soccer, Shane plays DVDs. It makes them complimentary but causes arguments on spending leisure time. Still, they seems to work it out. Making jokes and working towards academic success. Common goals making all the difference.

Sample Questions
Q1) London, Ontario was originally reserved by John Graves Simcoe in 1793 for the reason that he thought it would be a good place for a provincial capital. Formal settlement, with people arriving and starting to farm and starting businesses in the town, was started in 1826. Shortly after the town was beginning to be settled, the courthouse building, which looks like a fortress, due to the fact that it is stone and has crenellated towers, was built. The Rebellion of 1837-1838 prompted the need for large numbers of many troops to be stationed in London, and so London, by virtue of the fact that it had many soldiers stationed there, became known as a "garrison town." Being incorporated as a town in 1855, and for the reason that it was situated on good transportation lines, with many road and rail connections, London's business and commercial growth really started to grow. London's nineteenth-century houses, which were constructed using distinctive yellow bricks and "keyhole" windows, form a surrounding circular area around the downtown commercial and business section. London is also known as the "forest city," due to the many trees and many varieties of trees in many parks and on tree-lined streets. Although not the provincial capital, as intended by Simcoe, London is a thriving city which has an active arts community, major commercial enterprises, large businesses, and big industries, and it also has a large and vital university community, which contributes to its overall vitality.
