A Read the text. Label the pictures with the words in bold.

At a traditional wedding in the UK, the couple get married in a church. The groom wears a smart suit. The bride wears
a long, white dress and she carries a bouquet. She often arrives a little late for the ceremony. During the ceremony, the
bride and groom make promises and give each other wedding rings. After the ceremony, the guests throw confetti
(small pieces of coloured paper) over the new husband and wife. The bride sometimes throws her bouquet over her
shoulder. People say the woman who catches it is the next one to get married. At the reception, some relatives and
friends each make a speech. They say nice things about the couple and tell funny stories about them! The guests eat,
drink, chat and dance. They also give the bride and groom presents – usually things for their new house.

phoned her. When Ruby answered the phone, Freddie whispered, ‘Hi Ruby. It’s Freddie. Would you like to meet me
for breakfast on Saturday morning?’ When Ruby replied, ‘Yes, I’d love to!’ Freddie was very surprised and happy.
They arranged to meet at the Beach Café at ten o’clock.
On Friday night, Freddie couldn’t sleep. He wasn’t tired because he was so excited about the date. When he opened
his eyes the next morning and looked at his clock, it was ten past ten. ‘Oh no!’ he shouted and jumped out of bed.
He dressed and cleaned his teeth quickly, then hurried to the café. He was really worried because he imagined that
Ruby was very angry with him. But when he arrived and explained how sorry he was, Ruby just smiled and replied
‘Let’s order breakfast. I’m so hungry!’

Life in Ireland in 1889 was hard for Annie Moore and her family. They were
poor and it was difficult for her parents to earn enough money for food and
clothes. In the end, Annie’s parents made a difficult decision. They left their
children in Ireland and moved to America to make a new life for their family.
Two years later, fourteen-year-old Annie and her two younger brothers,
Anthony and Phillip, made the long journey to New York to join their parents.
They left Queenstown in County Cork on 20 December 1891 onboard a ship
called the S.S. Nevada. The journey wasn’t easy. The ship was very crowded
and cold and many people got seasick.
Fortunately, twelve days later, on 31 December, the S.S. Nevada arrived safely
in New York Bay. When Ellis Island opened for the first time on 1 January
1892, Annie Moore was the first passenger registered at the new immigration
station. To celebrate the important occasion, American officials gave Annie a
$10 gold coin and welcomed her warmly to the United States.

2 Where did she emigrate from?

10G A postcard

A Complete the postcard using the verbs in brackets in the correct tenses.

Hi Cameron,
We 1 (be) on holiday in Los Angeles. We 2 (stay)
in a cool apartment in West Hollywood. It’s on the 20th floor so we’ve got fantastic
views over the city.
The people here are really friendly and we 3 (enjoy) the hot, sunny weather.
Yesterday, we 4 (take) a bus to Santa Monica beach.
We 5 (go) rollerblading and 6 (swim) in the
sea. It was great fun! This afternoon,
we 7 (go) to Universal Studios. Some of the rides look
really scary! We 8 (not walk) down Rodeo Drive yet, but we
9
(plan) to do that tomorrow morning. I don’t think
we 10
(spend) any money there – the shops are far too expensive!
Wish you were here!
See you soon.
Grace xx
