VOCABULARY
Read the text and fill in the blanks with the correct option from the
box. There are two words you DON’T need to use.
angry healthy sports bicycle quick

athletes exercise cook save salad
easy dishes
Poli, our university, received a group of 12 international students last

semester and Poli students had the opportunity to exchange a lot of ideas
with them and to compare our culture with different cultures. At
gastronomy, for example, Europeans and Chinese are very good, and
they cook
very well. They prepare delicious
dishes
for lunch and dinner. And French girls usually eat very
healthy
food. They prefer salads, fruit and low-fat products.
We discovered that some of the Latinamerican male students are good

athetes
. They enjoy going to the gym, riding
bicycle
and playing soccer. Sports and exercise
are important in their lives.
International students don’t worry about money very much. In contrast,
Colombians try to save

money, and bargain or negotiate
prices all the time. In Spanish we call it “regatear”.
And talking about personality, Colombians and Latinamericans are happy

and joyful people. We celebrate everything. Europeans are different from
us. They are usually very serious and sometimes we think they are
angry
because they don’t smile. They can help people with
location and give directions in their cities, if we need that. But we prefer to
use Waze or Google Maps. It’s easy

, practical,
quick
and we don’t have to talk to serious people. 😊

choose the correct option in each case. Use capital letters if
necessary.

Brisbane says about sports, healthy eating and healthy mind:

Exercise is also very important. Some people think they have to do

trained, you can do a few minutes
more. You can start by doing exercise at home, and then you can go to
the gym or to a park [ Seleccionar ]

your house.
Hydration is also very important. So, drink [ Seleccionar ]

the year.

READING
The book You Only Live Twice by Ian

Felming tells us that James Bond was
born in Scotland in 1924, and he didn’t
have any brothers or sisters. When he
was eleven, his parents died in a
climbing accident in Switzerland, so he
went to live in English with his aunt.
When he was twelve, he went to Eton, a
famous private school, but he didn’t like it
there. He left after only one year and
He left school in 1941 and
went to Fettes, his father’s old school.

stayed in the British Secret
Service, but he didn’t get his
famous “licence to kill” number
(007, of course) until 1950. He
married Teresa di Vicenzo on
New Year’s Day 1962, but they
weren’t married for long -his
wife died on their wedding
night. And for the rest of James
Bond’s life… well, watch the
movies!
Extreme sports involve some

degree of danger, and lots of
excitement. Many people
choose these alternative sports
over traditional options like

soccer or tennis.
