I feel they can offer me better financial prospects and that I would be more likely to be promoted. I am taking this step with reluctance because I enjoy my work with you and also get on well my colleagues in the export Department.

6 XVI. Read the passage below, and answer the question that follow, in your own words. You may give short answer. The Secret few People Guess Brenda Linson never goes anywhere without an empty spectacle case. It is as vital to her as her purse. Yet she doesn t wear glasses. The reason she can t do without it, is because she can t read and she can t write. If ever she gets into any situation where she might be expected to do either of these things, she fishes around in her bag for the spectacle case, finds it empty, and asks another person to do the task for her. Brenda is now in her late thirties. She s capable and articulate and until a few months ago hardly anybody knew she was illiterate. Her children still don t She had any number of tactics to conceal her difficulty for example, never staying near a phone at work in case she had to answer it and was required to write something down. But in fact, it is easier for illiterates to conceal the truth than the rest of us might imagine. Literacy is so much taken for granted that people simply don t spot the giveaway signs. It has never occurred to her children that their mother cannot read. She doesn t read them stories, but then their father doesn t either. Similarly they just accept that Dad is the one who writes the sick notes and reads the school reports. No that the elder boy Tom is quite a proficient reader, Brenda can skillfully get him to read any notes brought home from school. Brenda s husband never guessed the truth in ten years of marriage. For one thing he insists on handling all domestic correspondence and bills himself. An importer of Persian carpets travels a great deal and so was not around much to sot the truth. While he s away. Brenda copes with any situation by explaining that she can t do anything until she s discussed it with her husband. Brenda has been very successful in her job. For the last five years she has worked as a waitress at an exclusive private club, and was promoted to head waitress. She kept the thing a secret there too, and got over the practical difficulties somehow. 1) Why does Brenda Linson always carry a spectacle case with her? 2) Does Brenda s husband know now that she cannot read or write? 3) Why did Brenda avoid going near the telephone at her place of work? 4) Why did the writer say it is easy for illiterates to hide the fact that they cannot read or write? 5) What does Brenda s husband do as a job? 6) Who reads out the notes brought from school for Brenda? 7) Where does Brenda work? 6
