III. Reading: students will have an approach towards the Reading comprehension strategy to put into context the
present simple and present continuous tense.

1. Read the text quickly. Then, choose the best title.

a. Good at history? Maybe Law is the subject for you

b. Anyone can study Law
c. Choose a subject you think you’ll be good at

Title:

Nicky is studying Law at the University. “I chose to study Law because I want to be a detective or a lawyer”,
she says. “When I was young I always enjoyed watching detective programs on TV. I imagined solving the
crimes myself and helping the victims. I also loved watching films with court room scenes.”

Many children drop out of school where Nicky lives, so graduating from High School was a proud moment
for her. She says her mum always motivated her to work hard at school. “When I was at school I was good
 at History. It was my favorite subject.” If you’re good at History, you’ll find studying Law similar in many ways.
I’d also say Math has helped me a lot. I think about Law questions a bit like I do math questions, identifying
the problem, applying the formula and finding the answer. Everyone knows Law degrees involve a lot of
reading. It’s true, Law students are always the last ones to leave the library! You also need to have a good
memory and a good analytical brain. It is lots of hard work and many hours studying, but we still find time to
have fun.

I hope to work for a Criminal Law company when I leave university. One day, I plan to have my own company.

Vocabulary: Court room: tribunal

2. Read the text again and answer the questions.

a. What does Nicky Want to do when she’s older?

b. What first interested her in this career?
c. What was her favorite subject at school?
d. What subject does she say is helpful for law?
e. Why do Law students spend a lot of time in the library?
f. What two skills does she say you need to study Law?

3. Study the sentences: How many verbs are in each sentence? Underline them with different
colors. What is the meaning of them?

a. I chose to study Law.

b. I always enjoyed watching detective programs.
c. I loved watching films.
d. I wanted to be a detective.
e. I hope to work for a Criminal Law company.
f. I imagined solving crimes.
g. I plan to have my own company.

4. Complete the sentences with the correct form of the verbs.

 Play
 Study
 Work
 Travel
 Go
 Find
a. My sister enjoys ______________ to different countries.
