A. EJERCICIOS DE COMPRENSIN SOBRE UN TEXTO. (30 puntos)


90-year-old starts school.
A 90-year-old Kenyan grandmother has become the world's oldest elementary school student. Priscilla Sitienei, also known
as Gogo, is from a small village in Kenya. She is studying at the local elementary school to learn to read and write. Ms.
Sitienei has spent most of her life working as a midwife, helping to deliver babies. She wants to be able to read and write
so she can pass on her nursing skills and write down the special herbal remedies she uses when she delivers babies. She
also wants to be able to read the Bible. Sitienei never had a chance to go to school when she was younger. She said she
knows she is old but hopes she will set an example to younger people. She wants all the children in her village to study.
When Ms. Sitienei first tried to enroll at the school, the head teacher David Kinyanjui did not think it was a good idea. Now
he is very happy that Gogo is at the school. Mr. Kinyanjui said Gogo is a "blessing and a motivator". He added: "I'm very
proud of her. Every pupil loves her. They all want to learn and play with her." He also said: "She is doing well considering
her age. I can say I have seen a big difference in this school since she came." Gogo had a message for children
everywhere, saying: "I want to say to the children of the world, especially girls, that education will be your wealth." She
added: "With education, you can be whatever you want - a doctor, lawyer or a pilot."
