Read a story about John Croft. Then complete each sentence.

My name is John Croft. For almost thirty years, I worked as a taxi driver for
Downtown Taxi, the biggest cab company in Vancouver, Canada. I drove my
cab five days a week from 3:00 in the afternoon until around 11:30 or 12:00 at
night. I took a lot of businesspeople home after work. Vancouver is a big city,
and there were traffic jams every afternoon. Traffic was always the worst from
4:30 until
about 6:00, but it didn’t bother me. 25 a
Most passengers were nice enough. I liked to show tourists our beautiful city. A lot of
tourists from Asia visit Vancouver. In the evening, I took people out to restaurants, clubs,
and the theater. It was interesting to see people dressed in their best clothes for parties.
The most interesting customer I had was a man dressed as a bird!
My cab was always clean, and I always tried to be friendly. I always helped people with their
bags. The trip to the airport was usually my highest fare. Most passengers tipped me 15% or
20%. Sometimes they just said, “Keep the change.” My largest tip ever was $100. I liked my
job and made a comfortable living. I don’t drive a taxi anymore—I’m retired. I have lots of free
time, but sometimes I miss meeting new people.

knocked big adventures off her bucket list.

Q:
A:
Definitely in summer because that’s usually when students have their summer break and the
cities
are
crowded. For some people it’s a disadvantage, but for me it’s a chance to meet new people, to
enjoy the hot weather and take advantage of the longer days. Q:
A: I wouldn’t say I have been anywhere truly disappointing. However, I went to New Delhi, in
India, in 2016 and even though it’s a famous city, it’s pretty noisy and polluted. People are
impolite and it’s almost impossible to get a rickshaw (Indian taxi).
Q:
A: I’d absolutely say Italy. It’s a place where you can visit many ancient museums, see old
sculptures on the streets and admire famous paintings. Besides, the food is amazing.
Don’t forget to visit the Colosseum and take a lot of pictures
Q:
A: I think the most memorable experience I’ve ever had while on vacation was in Brussels.
According to my friend Lily who tasted different chocolate brands, “Neuhaus

Cozumel is a beautiful island in the Caribbean. It is a very popular place for people

beautiful beaches with crystal-clear water, where most tourists spend their time.
Unfortunately, it is a bit difficult to get around the island because there aren’t
many buses or taxis, but you can always get a motorcycle and it’s quite cheap. I
like Cozumel because it’s a beautiful, exciting place without the noise of a busy

hundred years ago, however, things were very different. Everyday jobs, like doing the laundry,

would take a whole day, and the telephone was a new invention! Nowadays, almost every
household has a washing machine and a dishwasher, and there are more than 70 million mobile
phones in use in the United Kingdom alone.
b. Research shows that around 28% of children in the UK are overweight or obese. Some
people are concerned that this is because young people spend too much time online and not
enough time socializing with their friends and playing outside. In the past, nearly all children
walked to school because their parents didn’t have a car. They didn’t have all the luxuries that
many children have now, so they used their imagination and played outdoors in the fresh air.
c. Years ago, when people wanted to stay in touch with their friends and family, they wrote
letters. These days, however, E-mail communication and social networking sites, such as
Facebook, allow instant, free international communication.
d. Online banking and shopping make essential activities possible from the comfort of our
own homes. But what effect will this have on town centers and shops? In some towns and cities,
many shops are now empty, and a lot of people think this is because more and more people
choose to use the Internet for shopping.
e. There are many benefits of using technology but we need to be responsible in the
choices we make. Modern equipment is often very expensive and does not last a long time. It is
important to consider how much we really need these things and the impact they have on our
health, the environment and society.
1. Our responsibility when choosing to use modern technology. ____

2. The impact of modern technology on everyday life over the past century. ____
3. How modern technology has changed communication. ____

The Experience of a Lifetime!

I studied engineering at the UASLP. When I graduated, I decided to learn a foreign language.
_________1because I heard many people around the world speak English, so I thought it would be useful. A
friend who was a student at Cambridge University recommended that I study English there. An important part
of the course involved studying abroad. Well, at first, I didn’t really know which country to go to, but one day
_________2. It looked like a great place to visit, so that’s where I went!
When I got to Cambridge, I was nervous because it was my first time abroad on my own. However, everyone
at the college was really friendly and welcoming.
On weekends, they took me and the other new students to visit a lot of fun places. They also organized
activities so we could meet the local people. Our English teacher was really good, too. I was only there three
months, but I learned a lot.
Afterwards, I went back to Mexico and immediately started investigating other study abroad options. This
time_____________3 After one month in Montreal, I moved to Toronto. I really enjoyed my time in both
places, and felt my English improved a lot. In Montreal, I stayed with a host family as it was more economical.
I worked part-time in a restaurant and saved some money, so when I moved to Toronto, my budget was
bigger and I rented an apartment. My four months there were the best of all. We spoke English all the time in
class! I found it very hard at first and sometimes got annoyed because I couldn’t understand everything.
However, it was a very effective way to learn and actually, by the time I left, I was fluent. That’s why, when I
graduated a year later from the UASLP with a degree in Engineering Management, I found a job in the U.S.A. I
started working for a manufacturing company in Detroit. Nowadays, I can’t believe how lucky I
am.______________4, and I really enjoy my job. What’s more, shortly after settling here, I met an American
girl named Emily. Six months ago, we got married!
For me, studying abroad_____________5 and become friends with people from all over the world. It gave me
some fantastic insights into different cultures. But it also gave me a great job, a wife… in fact, a whole new
life. I’d recommend the experience to everyone. Go on, give it a try!

CELEBRATION TIME!
Throughout the world people celebrate for many different reasons and at different times of the year.
Here are just a few examples of the reasons people have for celebrating.
First, let's go to Sweden where December 13th is the festival of St. Lucia. On this day the Swedes
traditionally have lussekatts, a kind of cake with raisins, for breakfast. It is also a tradition to light
candles in honor of St. Lucia. Also, in junior schools throughout the country, they choose one of
the girls to dress up and 1_____________________ to lead the St. Lucia Day procession.
Next is Hong Kong. The most important celebration of the year is, without a
doubt, the Chinese New Year. It usually takes place in February. It lasts for
fifteen days and is a time for families and friends to get together to eat, drink,
and have fun. The main reason for the celebration is to bring health, wealth,
and happiness to the family for the coming year. Just before the celebration
begins, people 2__________________to get rid of the previous year's bad luck.
The highlight of the celebration is the street parade led by a dancing dragon
that contains up to fifty people.
The biggest celebration in Latin America , 3_____________________, takes

place at around the same time of year. The celebration lasts for three days. The
biggest event is the Samba School Parade in which about 50,000 people take
4
part. ___________________and they dance along the grand parade avenue from seven o'clock in
the evening until the early hours of the morning.
Finally, we move to Vietnam where every autumn the Trung Thu Festival is held. The purpose of
this festival is to celebrate the beauty of the moon which looks bigger and brighter at this time
than at any other time of the year. Young people buy lanterns with candles which they light and
take out into the street at night. They also wear funny masks. 5_________________ represents the
brightness of the moon. Also, everyone eats Moon Cakes with specially prepared sweet fillings of
sugar and eggs.

Riding a bike in the most dangerous road in the world

High in the Andes, the North Yungas Road goes from la Paz, the highest capital city in the world, to Coroico in
the Yungas region of Bolivia. The road is only about ten feet wide and the Coroico River is 656 feet below.
Bolivians call it “El Camino de la Muerte” (Death Road) because of the number of accidents, and in 1995 it was
officially declared “the most dangerous road in the world”.
Since a new road opened in 2006, there are fewer busses and trucks on the old road. But now, thousands of
mountain bikers come from all over the world to take the most exciting ride of their lives. They start at La
Cumbre, 15,400 feet above sea level, and go down to 5,000 feet, traveling at nearly 50 miles an hour down the
dangerous road. During the rainy season, from December to March, only experienced bike riders can take this
ride, but some die every year on the road. So, why do people do it?
Andrew Jagoo is 26. He said after finishing the ride, “If you go to London, you have to see London Bridge, and if
you go to Sydney, you have to see the Opera House, and if you go to Bolivia, you have to go down the most
dangerous road.”
Mark Solberg is 22. He said, “A lot of people said it was fun, but I was scared of falling down and dying. I was
worried because I had no experience with mountain climbing. One mistake and you are dead. I asked myself a
thousand times , Why am I doing this?”
