The prisoner had waited many months for help, but none had come. Now he felt he would do something to gain his freedom, to be free again to go about the world as he wished. But he could think of no way to run away.
He spent many hours thinking of his life before he was captured, regretting the mistakes he had made and dreaming of the joys he had known. And over and over he said to himself that he was being punished for no reason. He was guilty of no crime, but he had not been given a chance to explain the events which made him guilty.
Then one night the guard who sat outside the prisoner’s door fell asleep. When he noticed this, the prisoner was struck by a feeling of hope. Perhaps he could steal the keys while the guard was sleeping.
Silently the prisoner moved toward the guard. Very gently he lifted the ring of keys from the guard’s belt. Then he turned and crawled toward the door. Could he work the lock from the inside? The key turned and the door was opened. Within two minutes he had crossed the yard and climbed the wall. Then he ran across the field, free at last, a smile of joy beginning to spread across his face.

How to Avoid Mistakes in the IELTS Test
Many students, some with very good English skills, take the academic IELTS (International English Language Testing System) test and fail to achieve the score they expected or hoped for. In order to avoid this, it is important to have an understanding of what you need to do in each part of the exam and have some basic strategies. 1.
Don’t give very short answers
Don’t just answer "yes" or "no" to questions. The examiner needs to hear you speak, so always give extra information.
For example, for part 1:
Q: Do you have a big family?
A: Yes, I do. I have my parents, and I also have three brothers and two sisters. My aunt lives with us as well. 2.It can be quite noisy in our house, but it’s still a lot of fun!
3.
It is important to extend your answers, but at the same time you must be answering the question or talking about things related to the topic. You won’t gain extra marks for talking for the sake of it, if it has nothing to do with what you have been asked!
Listen carefully
Always listen carefully to what the examiner asks you. Again, you aren’t be expected to be talking about something different to what you are asked.
4.
If you don’t understand a question or you don’t hear it, then ask the examiner to repeat it. There is nothing wrong with needing to do this a few times during the test.
Talk for two minutes
It is OK to give extra information, so feel free to tell the examiner everything you can think about the topic. 5.You can plan what you say in the 1-minute preparation time and think of what extra information you can give.
A. Keep to the topic
B. Ask if you don’t understand
C. Think carefully before speak
D. There is no need to talk too much.
E. So I would say that is quite a large family.
F. But remember you need to speak fluently and clearly.
G. In this article, I will provide you with speaking strategies.

Witchcraft（巫术）was not made a capital offence in Britain until 1563 though it was disapproved by Pope Innocent VIII in 1484. From 1484 until around 1750, some 200,000 witches（女巫）were burnt or hanged in Western Europe.
Most supposed witches were usually old women, and always poor. Any who were unfortunate enough to be an old woman with broken teeth, sunken cheeks and sockets and a hairy lip were assumed to possess the “Evil Eye”. It was more the case if they also had a cat. Many unfortunate women were taken away on this sort of evidence and hanged.
Witch fever held East Anglia for 14 terrible months between 1645—1646. A man called Matthew Hopkins, an unsuccessful lawyer, contributed a lot! He became known as the “Witchfinder General”. He had 68 people put to death in Bury St. Edmunds alone, and 19 hanged at Chelmsfor in a single day. After Chelmsford he set off for other countries. Much of Matthew Hopkins theories of telling a witch were based on Devil’s Marks. He took a small mark to be a Devil’s Mark and he used his “needle” to see if these marks were insensitive to pain. His “needle” was basically a trick so the unfortunate women never felt any pain.
There were other tests for witches. Mary Sutton of Bedford was put to the swimming test. With her thumbs tied to opposite big toes she was thrown into the river. If she floated she was guilty; if she sank, innocent. Poor Mary floated!
Though many of the acts againsts witchcraft were put to an end in 1736, witch hunting still went on. In 1863, a suspected male witch was drowned in a pond in Headingham, Essex and 1945 the body of an elderly farm laborer was found near the village of Meon Hill in Warwickshire. His throat had been cut and his body was pinned to the earth. The murder remains unsolved; however, the man was said, locally, to be a male witch. It seems that belief in witchcraft has not entirely died out.
1.A female witch was often found to be ________
A. a young lady B. a lucky woman
C. an ugly woman D. a blind girl
2.Matthew Hopkins can be best described as __________
A. kind and smart
B. tricky and merciless
C. successful and nice
D. famous and fortunate
3.Why did people throw Mary into the river?
A. To take her life.
B. To tell if she was a witch
C. To test her swimming skills.
D. To prove that she was guilty
4.What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. Witches are still badly treated all over the world.
B. Witches were terribly treated in the European history.
C. Some people still have been using magic in daily lives.
D. There have always been people believing in witchcraft
