PART 4 MULTIPLE-CHOICE

1. Read the following text and choose the best option for the question

When I injured my back I had to take a break from my running career. I decided to introduce
more women to the sport, to show them how much fun it can be and to give them the confidence
to get out and run.

I decided to start a running club for women in my area because I was annoyed by the attitude
of many race organisers. They complain about the lack of women in the sport but also use this as
an excuse for not providing separate changing facilities.

I put up posters and 40 women, young and old, fit and unfit, joined. All of them were
attracted by the idea of losing weight but I don't think they had really thought about running
before. When or if they did, they had a picture of painful training. They didn't think of chatting
and smiling while running in beautiful places, like by a river.

At first they ran for only a minute - now they can run for thirty minutes. They've also learned
from other runners about diet and keeping fit in general.

I wanted to do something for women's running and I've had so much pleasure watching their
progress- almost as much as they've had themselves.

2. Read the following text and choose the best option for the question

For one group of children aged between ten and fifteen, Saturdays are spent learning the
art of serious cooking. Their weekly lessons in small classes are so popular that there is a waiting
list of 30 children who want to do the course. Parents pay £280 for the course where their children
can have fun and learn how to make good food.

Class member Bill, aged ten, says, “I love my mum's cooking and now I can do it better
than her. The teachers make us laugh, especially when we sit down with them to share the food
we've made.”

Flora is twelve, and she's having problems preparing onions. 'I love cooking. I did a meal
for ten friends which they really enjoyed. Then my mum suggested I take up a hobby, instead of
doing nothing at weekends. I was happy staying at home, so I wasn't too keen at first. I'm really
glad I decided to come, though.'

Their teacher, Philippe, says, “It's great fun. Children pay attention and remember things
better than adults, although the kitchen isn't always as tidy when they're cooking! As adults, we're

11
always learning more about food. If parents interest their children in cooking while they are
young, they'll have enough skill to make food for themselves when they leave home.”
