10th English Sample Practice Paper 1
A1. In front
of enormous Shibuya train station in Tokyo, there is a life size bronze statue of
a dog. Even though the statue is very small when compared to the huge neon
signs flashing, it isn’t difficult to find. It has been used as a meeting point
since 1934 and today you will find hundreds of people waiting there for their
friends to arrive. Hachiko, an Akita dog, was born in 1923 and brought to Tokyo
in 1924. His owner Prof. Eisaburo Uyeno and he were inseparable friends right
from the start. Each day Hechiko would accompany his owner , a Prof. at the
Imperial University, to Shibuya train station when he left for work. When he came
back, the Prof. would always find the dog patiently waiting for him. Sadly, the
Prof. died suddenly at work in 1925 before he could return home.
Although Hachiko was still a young dog,
the bond between him and his owner was very strong and he continued to wait at
the station everyday. Sometimes, he would stay there for days at a time, though
some believe that he kept returning because of the food he was given by street
vendors. He became a familiar sight to commuters over time. In 1934, a statue of
him was put outside the station. In 1935, Hachiko died at the place he last saw
