Hello! My name is Ana. I am twenty-five years old. I live in Miami, Florida with my husband and
two children. I have one son in kindergarten and one daughter in first grade. They both attend
public school. My husband is a mechanic. On weekends, he works at a restaurant as a
dishwasher. The restaurant usually gets more customers on weekends, so they need extra
people to wash dishes.
My name is Sangeeta. I am 11. I live in New Delhi, India with my father, mother, two brothers
and three sisters. My grandparents also live with us. In India, family is very important. It is
common to have grandparents, aunts, uncles and/or cousins living in the same house. My
aunts, uncles and cousins also live nearby. We see each other often. My older brother is a
computer programmer. Right now, he is in Australia. His company sent him there for one year.
We all miss him a lot. We write him letters every week. I want him to come home soon.
Q3: Does she live with her parents? Who else lives with her?
A3: Yes, she lives with her parents. Her brothers, sisters and grandparents live with her too.
Francisco stands outside his new house. He reaches into his pocket and pulls out the key. He
turns the key in the lock and opens the door. He steps into the living room and looks around.
The paint is peeling off the walls. There is no furniture. The house is dirty and smells bad. He
tries to open a window but it is broken. The house does not have a kitchen or a bedroom but
there is a microwave on the floor on one side of the room. He wonders if it works. The place
looks terrible but it is all he can afford. He covers his nose and mouth with his hand and opens
the bathroom door. It is in bad condition.
Q5: Why did Francisco buy a house that is in such bad condition?
A5: Because he doesn’t have enough money to buy a better house.
Marcelo and his friend Chris are exploring a new country in a rented car. They are looking for a
restaurant called 'The Best Steak in Town'. However, they are completely lost. The directions
they were given were very difficult to follow, so they stop a stranger by the side of the road to
ask him for directions. The stranger smiles and replies: “Oh, that’s a really popular restaurant. I
can tell you how to get there. It’s really simple”. Chris takes out a paper and pencil and begins
to make notes. The stranger continues.
“Drive straight ahead until you see a house with a broken fence. Make a right after that house
and keep going until you pass two big rocks on the left. Soon after that you will see a bush that
looks like a giant cockroach. Turn left at that bush and keep going for another twenty minutes.
You should pass two gas stations on your right. About a mile after the second gas station, you
will see three mounds of dirt and a house with a horse tied to a tree. Make a right at that
house and it will be the second restaurant on your left. The sign is broken but you can’t miss it.
It has a rock next to it that looks like a bear holding a sword. You may see a few people
standing outside drinking beer. Good luck!”
Q1: What is the name of the restaurant that Marcelo and Chris are looking for?
A1: The restaurant is called 'The Best Steak in Town'.

Mary Brian
Reporter: Mary, please tell us what you think about Australia and The United States.
Mary: Well, they are really nice countries and I love both of them. They are quite different,
though.
Reporter: Tell us about those differences.
Mary: For starters, the US is larger than Australia and there are more people there than in
Australia.
Reporter: What about the food?
Mary: I love Australian food, especially Cabanossi; it is a type of sausage. Food in Australia is
more traditional and spicier than in the States.
Reporter: I’ve heard that Americans drive faster than Australians.
Mary: Yeah, that’s right. Roads in the US are usually safer and bigger than in Australia so people
can drive faster.
Reporter: Is it true that people in Australia are taller and thinner than in the US?
Mary: I don’t know. Probably you are right, but I am not sure.
Reporter: Finally, lets talk about men.
Mary: Men are most of the times more handsome in Australia. However, my husband is
American and he is pretty attractive.
Reporter: Thank you Mary for your time.
-Does Mary think Australia and The United States are very similar?
Yes, she does
No, she doesn't

Dear Francesca,
I arrived in Liverpool two days ago and I just met my roommates. I have three roommates. Bill
is from Switzerland; he is tall and heavy; he has got hazel eyes. He is friendly and outgoing.
Suzanne is gorgeous; she is from Cape Verde so she speaks Portuguese and English quite well.
She seems to have a strong personality; I think we will get along well. Felipe comes from Peru.
He is short, thin and athletic. He loves sports, especially rugby. He is reserved so he doesn’t talk
much.
I am so excited because tomorrow we are going to the Beatles museum. I hope you are having
a great time in The Bahamas. Tell me about all what you’ve done there.
Love,
Arnold

Facebook
There is no way to deny the importance of having a Facebook account in the modern world. It’s
almost like a social pressure standard that you have to get a Facebook account or people will
label you as an anti-social person. The truth is that it should never matter what people think
about something like that, but there are some things about Facebook that everyone should
now. Once you join, you will be exposed to positive and negative things and that is what this
article is about.
2. _________________________
Facebook is an excellent place for people who want to stay in touch with their friends and
family and if you use it for this purpose, you will find it to be very rewarding. It’s also a great
way to remember birthdays and there is no question that most people find this feature to be a
lifesaver.
Another pro about Facebook is that you can turn it into a daily feed of news from all over the
world. All you have to do is subscribe to the top news networks and newspapers and you will
be getting all the relevant information on a daily basis.
3. _________________________
There are many cons about Facebook that people don’t really take into consideration. The first
one is that if you start accepting friend request from everyone you know, you will start to lower
the quality of the interactions with your closest friends and family.
There is also the large number of publications that contain plenty of spyware and a large
assortment of virus threats that you could end up catching. Another serious con about
Facebook is that you can easily get caught up in this network and you can start wasting your
time that could be used for more productive things.
Conclusion
Facebook can be a great platform to use as long as you take the time to learn how to use it
properly and you never let yourself get caught up in it.

on Facebook. .

Food
While eating at a restaurant is an enjoyable and convenient occasional treat, most individuals
and families prepare their meals at home. To make breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily, these
persons must have the required foods and ingredients on hand and ready to go; foods and
ingredients are typically purchased from a grocery store, or an establishment that distributes
foods, drinks, household products, and other items that're used by the typical consumer.
Produce, or the term used to describe fresh fruits and vegetables, is commonly purchased by
grocery store shoppers. In terms of fruit, most grocery stores offer bananas, apples, oranges,
blackberries, raspberries, grapes, pineapples, cantaloupes, watermelons, and more; other
grocery stores with larger produce selections might offer the listed fruits in addition to less
common fruits, including mangoes, honeydews, starfruits, coconuts, and more.
Depending on the grocery store, customers can purchase fruits in a few different ways. Some
stores will charge a set amount per pound of fruit, and will weigh customers' fruit purchases
and bill them accordingly; other stores will charge customers for each piece of fruit they buy, or
for bundles of fruit (a bag of bananas, a bag of apples, etc.); other stores yet will simply charge
by the container.
Vegetables, including lettuce, corn, tomatoes, onions, celery, cucumbers, mushrooms, and
more are also sold at many grocery stores, and are purchased similarly to the way that fruits
are. Grocery stores typically stock more vegetables than fruit at any given time, as vegetables
remain fresh longer than fruits do, generally speaking.
It'd take quite a while to list everything else that today's massive grocery stores sell, but most
customers take the opportunity to shop for staples, or foods that play a prominent role in the
average diet, at the establishments. Staples include pasta, rice, flour, sugar, milk, meat, and
eggs, and bread. All the listed staples are available in prepackaged containers, but can be
purchased "fresh" in some grocery stores, wherein employees will measure and weigh fresh
products and then provide them to customers.
