HSC English First Paper Unit 5 Lesson 3: Drojen Das
PART-1: READING TEST

1. Read the passage and answer the questions A and B.

I had not falled my country

I could hear very faint voices as if coming from the other side of the world. The time was about4:00 in the morning and the date September 22, 1961.1 was feeling tired and exhausted and was encountering stiff opposition from the strong tide. I looked towards my accompanying motorboat carrying my manager Quazi Mohammad Ali, skipper Len Hutchinson and the official observer, Mr.J. U. Wood. They were all pointing towards the Kent shore. As I looked up. I could see flashes. Irealized I was very close to the shore.

asked what the time was and how far I had still to go. They told me that if I put the last ounce of energy into my swimming. I would set a new world record for France to England swim. This electrified me. The goal for which I had been striving for the past four years could be mine. The atm. which goaded me to swim the Channel six times, each time risking my life and reputation.was so close. Yet it could be far…..

Treachery of Weather

The Channel, with its cold biting water.the winds, the waves and the tides does not make things easier. The unpredictable weather changes for the worse after a swimmer jumps in. It has never. to my knowledge, changed for the better for anyone yet… Apart from stamina and practice of long distance swimming, one must have the grit. determination and courage to subdue the Channel. Weather and ill luck have conspired and joined hands many a time to defeat Channel swimmers. They had defeated me no less than five times….

On the morning of 9 September 1961, after finishing my swim. I had gone to bed. The BBC-TV cameramen filmed me in my bed.

After only four hours sleep the following night. I decided to try again – for the sixth time…I had fixed the tentative date for September 20. On that day I took the ferry to Calais.
