PART 4: READING
VIII. Read the following passage and choose the best answer (1p).
Out in the Pacific Ocean, 3,700 kilometers from Los Angeles, are the islands of Hawaii, the
fiftieth state of the United States, with its area of 16,700 square kilometers.
The first Hawaiians arrived from other Pacific islands sometime around 100 AD. Then in 1778,
Captain Cook visited Hawaii. He put the islands on his maps of the Pacific Ocean. Then more ships
knew Hawaii and began stopping there for supplies.
In 1820, a small group of people from the eastern United States came to teach the Hawaiian
people about Christianity. They started farms to grow sugar cane and pineapples. Because there were
not enough people to do all the farm work, farm owners brought in Asians - Chinese, Japanese, and
Filipinos.
Later Koreans, Portuguese, and Puerto Ricans also came. More people came from the US
mainland and from other Pacific islands, and Hawaii became an island with traditions from several
countries. People from the various nation groups have married each other, so today the groups are
partly mixed.
Hawaiians are very friendly and always welcome visitors. They celebrate traditional Chinese,
Japanese, and Filipino holidays as well as holidays from The United states. Hawaii is known as the
Aloha State. “Aloha” mean “hello”, “goodbye”, and “I love you” in Hawaiian.

Hi Alex,
How are things with you? Long time, no hear! Did you get the promotion you were after? Hope so!
Anyway, the reason I'm writing is to ask a massive favour. I really, really need your help with my
article for the in-house magazine - can you check the grammar and tell me if it's ok? Also could you
look at the style and improve it where you think it's too formal? And let me know if you find any other
mistakes! Thanks a million in adance - I'll owe you one!
As for me - I'm fine! Because of some cuts, I have to work twice as hard for the same money. But I still
love it here in New York. I'm meeting some great people, and really learning a lot.
Because I'm the new kid in the block, everyone's taking good care of me!
Well, that's all for now. Let me know how you're getting on in Rome!
Best wishes,
Max

Hi Anita,
Well, I wish I could say that I was having a wonderful time! For a start, it was a mistake to come here
in the peak holiday time. It’s so crowded. And the second thing is, I wish I weren’t with my sister.
She’s driving me mad. She always wants to go shopping and I’d rather we went for long walks along
the cliffs. If only you’d come with me instead, it would’ve been so much better.
She never lifts a finger. I do all the cooking, cleaning, everything! It’s time she grew up and stopped
acting like a baby. I don’t know what to do because I don’t want to have a row with her. Supposing you
were with us, what would you do?
Oh well, from now on I’m going to do what I like. I’m not going to have my holiday ruined by her!
Lots of love!
Carol
