SECTION I. THE ASSESSMENT OF COMMUNICATIVE COMPETENCE (22 points)/ 82 points

I. Read the text and accomplish the post reading tasks.

CINDY, USA When I was a little girl I lived in a small village in Texas. We lived on a farm with lots of
animals. It was very relaxing and quiet. You could hear the birds singing in the morning.
It was great during the week because I was with my friends at school and we had lots of after-school activities.
But there wasn’t much to do at the weekend when I was at home. My school friends and I couldn’t meet
because there were no buses. So basically I had to watch TV. It was so boring.
Now that I’m older my parents moved to New York City. It’s easier now to be with my friends because I can
take the bus or the underground to everywhere I want to go. My favourite place is the shopping centre. I always
hang out with my friends there.
PETER, GERMANY I live in a big city in Germany and it’s quite exciting! There are lots of things to do. My
parents bought a flat near a park where I can ride my bike or go skateboarding. My brother is older than me so I
also go to the cinema with him. The city library is a great place too. I usually meet my friends there and we do
our school projects or study together.
Of course living in a big city is not easy. City life can be fast, tiring and stressful. The streets are always
crowded and noisy. Because of the cars the air is polluted sometimes. People are so busy that they rarely have
time for their neighbours or friends. But I can’t see myself moving to the countryside. I just love living in the
city too much.
I. Answer the questions according to the text:
1. What did Cindy do at the weekends in the country?
At the weekends Cindy watched TV.
2. Where does Cindy live now?
Cindy lives in New York now.
3. Why is the city such an interesting place for Peter?

skateboarding or riding a bike in the par, he also likes to meet with his friends at the library .
