Question

It was a Monday morning and, as always Katrina and her mom got in the car at 6：35 to drive to the ferry(渡船) at Lyness. When they got there half an hour later, the ferry was just arriving.

“Dad's coming to get you on Friday, Katrina，” her mother said, “have a good week.”

At a quarter to eight the ferry arrived in Houton on Mainland. Katrina waited there with the other kids for the school bus which took them to Kirkwall Grandma School. The same as every Monday morning.

But this Monday was different. A researcher was coming to interview some students for a TV documentary about the school. So at 10 o'clock Katrina was waiting outside the researcher's room for her interview.

The door opened and Fiona came out. Fiona was one of the “Beauties”， the name for a group of trendy girls in her class. Katrina went in and closed the door.

“Hello，” said the woman at the desk. She smiled and pointed to an empty chair. The film researcher's last name was Jane and she already knew who Katrina was and where she lived.

“I see you're from Hoy, Katrina.”

“Aye, that's right，” Katrina answered.

“Why don't you go to school on Hoy？”

“Och, the school on Hoy only goes to Secondary 2，” Katrina explained. “So I've been coming here to Kirkwall since last year.”

“I see. Do you come by ferry every day then？” Jane asked.

“No, I can't do that，” Katrina told her. “It takes too long. I have to live in the hostel from Monday to Friday.”

Jane was surprised. “Ah, that's interesting. The school has a hostel？”

“Aye，” Katrina told her. “The students from the other islands live in the hostel on weekdays. I come over from Hoy early on Monday morning and I go home after school on Friday.”
