If you'd like to improve your English, one thing you can do is to build up your vocabulary. In order to do
this, you have to practice a lot. I'm afraid there is not a short cut for this. But there are many effective ways.
First of all, you should read a lot. You can read short stories, comics, newspapers, magazines, etc. depending on
your English level. As you read, you can try to guess the meanings of unknown words from the context of the
sentence. If you cannot, then look up the definition in a dictionary. English to English dictionary should be your
first choice and keep the translator as last. Another way of building vocabulary is to watch movies in English
which will also help with pronunciation. Try to be involved with the language as much as you can. Keep a
vocabulary notebook and write down a few Words each day. Keep in mind that you have to revise them
regularly. In my opinion, to communicate with people all you need is words. Even if you just say the words one
after another, people most likely will understand what you mean regardless of the order of the words and
grammar.

IX. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of
the questions.
All over the world, all different cultures created interesting processed meat products, and one of the
most popular is undoubtedly sausage.
To begin with, sausage making may be considered disgusting as it deals with using various animal parts.
Since meat is ground up, certain cuts and parts of an animal that wouldn’t be served in their original forms
can be used. Literally, this means animal parts such as noses, ears, and other less appetizing areas of an
animal’s body. Very often, the ground up meat and flesh is mixed with a certain percentage of fat, along
with spices and other fillers. After being mixed well, this meat mixture is then stuffed into the cleaned
intestines of the animal, which are then sealed at both ends. The result is sausage.
The meats used in sausages come from a variety of animals, although beef and pork are by far the
favourites. In some cultures, sausage made from the meat of horses is considered a delicacy. When sausages
are cooked, the cooking process sometimes adds to the flavour. While boiling is probably the simplest
method, smoking sausages will add a lot of smoky flavour.
Next time you bite into a sausage, it is probably best not to think too much about how it became the tasty
thing you are eating. After all, you don’t want to ruin a good snack.
28. What are by far the favourite meats for making sausages?
A. Chicken B. Horse meat C. Cuts of lamb D. Beef and pork
29. What is the simplest method of cooking sausages?
A. Grilling B. Smoking C. Boiling D. Baking

31. What advice is given in the passage? A. Be careful when making sausages.
B. Don’t think too much about what you are eating when eating sausages.
C. Try not to use too much fat in the meat mixture when making sausages.
D. Make sure intestines are cleaned before packing with meat.
32. Where is the mixture of meat placed?
A. Inside a plastic package B. Inside a cleaned intestine
C. Inside a refrigerator D. Inside a metal container
