Unit 4 : The Great Train Journey
Theme: Adventure and imagination
Answer Key:1. Answer the following questions.
a. We know that Sajid likes trains because he spends time watching them, waving to them, and wondering
about the people on the trains. We learn, in the fifth paragraph, that he is fascinated by all trains.
b. It is summertime; the story takes place during the summer holidays.
c. We know that Sajid is bored because he has been wandering about all day, alone, and still does not
know what to do with himself.
d. Sajid is made curious by things that are bolted or nailed down, or in some way concealed from him, such
as parcels, locked rooms, carriage doors, and crates. He reacts by trying to see what is inside the crates.
e. Sajid thinks that the trees are walking because he had not noticed that the train had started moving.
f. A man, who describes himself as a hippy, is also in the carriage.
g. Sajid says that he would like to go everywhere, to England, China, Africa, and Greenland. He wants to go
all over the world!
h. The man warns Sajid to keep out of sight if he doesn’t want to be caught!

Unit 4 : The Great Train Journey
Theme: Adventure and imagination
Answer Key:
k. When Sajid thinks about his parents’ reaction to his disappearance, he feels a few different emotions. At first, he images that he will become famous for being the boy who disappeared; this shows that he finds
the idea exciting. Later on, he feels sorry for them because he realizes that they will miss him.
l. Pupils will give their own reasons why they think the man was on the train. Perhaps he had been
sleeping in the carriage because it was comfortable, safe, or cosy, or perhaps he was trying to get a free
ride somewhere.
m. Sajid does not react immediately to the conversation about going to China. Perhaps he is thinking
about the skills he does not have. After a while, he thinks that he is not really sure if he really wants to go
to strange, new, faraway places.
n. why the man doesn’t tell Sajid that the train takes a circular route. Perhaps he can see how excited Sajid is about going on a journey and, because he knows Sajid will be safe, he allows him to enjoy his adventure.
. 2. Look at these words.
starve consume devour snack nibble gobble feast munch chew a. Which is the odd one out? Why?
Starve is the odd word out. The other words are ways of eating, whereas starve means to suffer or die
from hunger.
