Questions 1 to 3 refer to the following personal letter.
Cristiano Ronaldo was born on February 5, 1985, in Funchal, Madeira, Portugal. Manchester
United paid £12 million to sign him in 2003 – a record fee for a player of his age. In the 2004 FA Cup
Final, he scored Manchester’s first three goals and helped them capture the championship. In 2008, he
set a franchise record for goals scoreD. In 2009, Real Madrid paid a record $131 million for his servicE.
It was through his dad’s work as an equipment manager at a boy’s club that Ronaldo was first
introduced to the game of soccer. By the time he was 10 years old, he was already recognized as a
phenomenon – a kid who ate, slept and drank the game. “All he wanted to do as a boy was playing
football,” his godfather, Fernao Sousa, recalled for British reporters, adding, “He loved the game so
much that he’d miss meals or escape out his bedroom window with a ball when he was supposed to be
doing his homework.”
By his early teens, Ronaldo’s talent and legend had grown considerably. After a stint with
Nacional da liha da Madeira, he signed with Sporting Portugal in 2001. That same year, at the tender
age of 16, Ronaldo turned heads with a impressing performance against Manchester United, wowing
even his opponents with his footwork and deft skill. He made such an impression that a number of
United players asked their manager to try and sign the young player. It wasn’t long before the club paid
Ronaldo’s team more than £12 million for his services – a record fee for a player of his age.

Dear Indah,
Indah, sorry I haven’t written to you for so long. We moved into a new apartment
last month and we’ve been really busy getting settled. It’s a nice apartment. It is bigger
than our old one. It’s big so there are a lot of rooms to work in. It has a big living room,
two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Another thing I like is the kitchen. The apartment is
on a quiet street in a good neighborhood. There’s also a shopping center just down the

The glorious Idul Fitri day may be over but the holiday atmosphere is still high in the air. As
an addition to the annual mudik custom, many people use his national holiday as an opportunity to
explore some unfamiliar places and embark on a family holiday.
Approaching the end of the Muslim festive season, travel search site, Wego, has recently
revealed insights into Indonesian travel trends for this year’s Idul Fitri. Wego Indonesia managing
director Graham Hills said that Indonesians searched for domestic trips is greater in numbers this
year.
“Domestic travel trends more than tripled this year. Yogyakarta took over from last year’s top
destination of Bandung for hotel searches, and the city features as one of the most notable movers this
year, increasing 78 percent over 2014,” Hills explained.
He also said that even though Bali featured as the number one domestic destination for the
past two years, this year the island only occupied the fourth position with flight searches to
Yogyakarta escalating by 342 percent.
Regarding accommodation options, Indonesians tended to seek higher ranked properties,
while taking advantage of cheaper airfares. In 2014, more than half of Wego’s Indonesian users
sought three-star accommodation listings, but surprisingly this year we’ve seen a shift toward higher
rated hotels. Domestic airfare searches rallied in mid-June, and while average hotel rates seemed to
trend a little higher closer to Idul Fitri, the overall average price of airfares were around ten percent
lower this year,” Hills continued.
