B Read the text about a prize-giving ceremony.

Farabi is Flora's best friend. They live in the same area. Also they are both in class 7. But they go to different schools.

It is a school holiday. Flora has come to visit Farabi. They are talking. Flora wants to know about the prize-giving ceremony of Farabi's school.

"Yesterday was our school prize-giving day," Farabi says. "On this occasion our school auditorium and its dais were brightly decorated. Prizes were also neatly displayed on a separate table on the dais. All the students were present at the function. Among others, the guardians and some eminent persons of the locality attended the function," Farabi continues.

“The Principal of PN College was the chief guest.”

"When did the function start?" Flora asked.

"Oh, it started on time just at 4 pm," Farabi says. "Our Head Teacher first read out the annual report. Then the Chief Guest gave a short speech. He highly praised the overall performance of the school and its excellent JSC and SSC Exam results. Then he gave away the prizes among the students for their outstanding activities."

"Did you get any prize, Farabi?" Flora enquires.

"Yes, I did," Farabi replies. "I've got two prizes-one for regular attendance and the other for good results in the last annual exams."
