Hi Marco,
A: We had a blast at the party afterward, even though I do feel a bit guilty now for putting him on an emotional
rollercoaster ride like that but it was worth it to see how Cody reacted.
B: Hope you are doing well at your new school. I’m emailing you this to tell you about a pretty funny prank that
we played on Cody’s birthday last week. You already know that Cody had always been wanting a new skateboard,
so I decided to get him one but with a little surprise. At Cody’s birthday party, when I was about to give him his
present, I intentionally tripped, fell and broke his new skateboard.
C: After laughing so hard, I pulled out his new skateboard from under the sofa and gave it to Cody. Cody was
still in shock when I gave him his real present but we both had a good laugh out of it.
D: I wish you could see the look on his face when the skateboard broke in half, his jaw dropped to the ground,
he looked kind of pissed off at that point. No worries though because that was just an old skateboard of mine.
Your pal,
Chris.

All the children hurt themselves from time to time. But when thirteen-year-old Ashlyn Blocker gets injured, she
doesn’t realise it. Once, when she burned herself, she only knew about it when she looked at her skin. There was
always something different about Ashlyn. As a baby, she didn’t cry. When she was eight months old, her parents
noticed there was some blood in her eyes, so they took her to see a doctor. The doctor found a serious cut in her
eye and was shocked. Tests showed that Ashlyn had a very unusual medical condition: she couldn’t feel any pain.
The first few years of Ashlyn’s life were very difficult. She often tripped and injured herself. Once, she broke her
ankle, but she didn’t stop running. When she was five, Ashlyn’s story appeared in newspapers and on TV.
Scientists studied her condition and found she has a genetic disorder that means pain signals do not reach her
brain. As Ashlyn knows, a life without pain is both difficult and dangerous.

she (1) _____________________, she doesn’t know it. When she was a baby, she didn’t cry. One day, her

BASE jumping is an extreme sport. It is similar to skydiving, but there are important differences. Firstly, the
jumps are much lower – usually no more than six hundred metres. And secondly, there is no aircraft. Instead,
participants jump from some kind of bridge, building or cliff. The first BASE jump took place in 1912 in New
York, when Frederick Law jumped for the Statue of Liberty. In the 1960s and 70s the sport became more popular,
partly thanks to Carl Boenish. He made documentaries about BASE jumping and also thought of the name. He
died in 1984 while he was jumping in Norway. BASE jumping is a thrilling experience, but it is very risky too.

Read Hiro Takamura’ s article about his experience with Fortnight. Then answer some questions below.
I remember when I discovered Fortnite, I was very bored, surfing the Internet and started googling random
stuff. Truth be told, I wanted to find an addictive videogame to kill my time so my search words were something
like “MMORPG”, "Addictive pc games you can't stop playing”, and so on.
What I found first was a game called "Playing Unknown Battleground" (also known as PUBG). It seemed
pretty interesting and realistic, but it just didn't convince me because of the game I found. Yes, you are right. I’m
talking about Fortnite.
I just fell in love with it. Firstly, Fortnite graphic effects are inspiring. The cartoon style is very funny and
hilarious. Secondly, the game replayability is fantastic. It is much faster and more enjoyable than PUBG. Battles
or "matches" are really dynamic and when you least expect it, you are playing a second round and trying to be
the last man standing.
All in all, it's been months since I've been playing Fortnite and I'm planning to be a professional player
and fight against the strongest people all over the world.

Modem cinema audiences expect to see plenty of thrilling scenes in actions films. These scenes, which are known
as “stunts”, are usually performed by stuntmen who are specially trained to do dangerous things safely. Anyone
can crash a car, but if you are shooting a film, you have to be extremely precise, sometimes stopping right in front
of the camera and the film crew.
At an early stage of the production, an expert stuntman is called in to work out the action scenes and form a team.
He is the only person who can go against the wishes of the director although he will usually only do this in the
interests of safety.
Many famous actors like to do the dangerous parts themselves, which produces better shots, since stuntmen don’t
have to work in for the actors. Actors like to become involved in all the important aspects of the characters they
are playing, but without the recent progress in safety equipment, insurance companies would never let them take
the risk. To do their own stunts, actors need to be good athletes, but they must also be sensible and know their
limits. If they were to be hurt, the film would come to a sudden halt.
Questions Answers
1. “Stunts” are risky and breath-taking scenes in action films.
2. All the stunts are performed by sophisticated stuntmen.
3 A stuntman has a duty to follow all the instructions from the director in action scenes.
4. Insurance companies aren’t willing to let famous actors perform stunts without safety
equipment.
5. If an actor were to be hurt, the film would continue with a stuntman replacing him.

Many people assume that video games have a negative effect on young people. A lot of time in front of a screen
is bad for the mind and the body, and combat games cause concern because they contain violence. Newspapers
often express the same opinion. However, according to a report in American Psychologist, playing video games
can be good for children’s education, health and social skills. Video games can actually improve certain mental
skills. Combat games, for example, teach players to think in three dimensions. This helps children with science,
technology, engineering and maths. Other types of video game can have other positive effects. In 2013, research
showed that children who play role-playing games get better grades at school than those who don’t play them.
Other research showed that playing any video game improves children’s creativity. Quick and simple games like
Angry Birds can improve players’ mood and prevent them from feeling anxious. The report also says that video
games teach children how to react well to failure because players continually fail and try again. This makes them
emotionally strong in real life. Video games can improve social skills too, the report says. More than 70% of
gamers play with a friend, and many take part in online games, like Farmville, with millions of other people. The
players learn how to lead a group, work together and make decisions. Overall, the report accepts that some video
games can have negative effects, but reminds us that they can have benefits too.
Summary
Video games are (1)_________ to have a negative effect on young people because they are time-consuming and
violent. However, a (2)__________ shows that video games can actually improve certain mental skills. Video
games helps children with science, technology, engineering and maths. Different types of video game can result
in various positive effects. In (3)___________, research showed that playing video games can help children
improve schoolwork, (4)__________________, mood, social skills and leadership. Overall, the report accepts

Read an article about water conservation. Then answer some questions below. (2,5 points)
Water Conservation
Man and most animals need a constant supply of water to live. Farmers need water for their crops.
Hydroelectric dams hold back needed water and provide power for homes and industries.
Trees and grass, and other plant life play an important part in the natural circulation of water, thus help
conserve it. Without plants most water would run off as soon as it falls, taking away valuable soil. Rapid runoff
would cause frequent floods, and leave little water during dry seasons.
Nature has many ways of conserving and controlling water. But man often upsets the water balance in his
desire to grow more crops. He drains ponds, swamps and wet land. He ploughs under the natural soil, cuts timber,
and dredges and straightens streams. These changes reduce natural storage of water arid speed runoff.
Water can be held on the land by planting vegetation. Forests and grass should be planted where there are
no natural growths. Dams built across rivers help hold back the water. Reservoirs behind the dams store water
during wet seasons for use in dry seasons. Dams help prevent floods by controlling the flow of water.
Note: to dredge = to make a river deeper

The world's forests are being consumed rapidly. Trees are cut down for paper and wood products, for cooking
fuel, to clear land for development, and to expand farming areas. The land left behind is stripped not only of its
trees, but the plants, animals, and insects that lived in that ecosystem as well. With no plant roots to hold it in
place, valuable soil washes away with every rainfall and ends up in the rivers and streams upon which people
depend for their water supply. In extreme cases, hundreds or thousands of people lose their homes or perish in
landslides when deforested slopes become unstable.
Forests also play an important part in regulating global climate. Trees remove carbon dioxide, a major greenhouse
gas, from the atmosphere, while cycling oxygen back into it. When trees are cut down, however, the CO2 is
released again. It is estimated that up to 25% of the total amount of CO2 going into the atmosphere every year is
released from trees being cut and burned. It's clear that protecting the world's forests is an important part of
solving the global climate change problem.
Questions Answers
1. To expand farming areas is one of the reasons for cutting down trees.
2. Soil washes away with rainfall due to no plant roots to hold it in place.
3. Forests make unnecessary contribution to regulating global climate.
4. Trees release carbon dioxide, a major greenhouse gas, to the atmosphere.
5. Cutting and burning trees produce O2 going into the atmosphere annually.

Gliders in the storm
In February 2007, Ewa Wiśnierska, a German paraglider, was in Australia with other paragliders preparing for
the World Championships. One morning, as they were getting ready to take off, they noticed a thunderstorm
approaching. However, they decided to carry on. As the best paragliders, they were skilful enough to keep away
from some dark clouds. Unfortunately, as the competitors took off, the weather quickly got worse. Despite Ewa's
attempt to escape, two enormous clouds came together and trapped her. They pulled her up inside the storm like
a leaf in the wind. She flew higher and higher. "It was dark and I could hear lightning all around me." She reached
nearly 10,000 m, higher than the top of Mount Everest, and then lost consciousness. At that height, the
temperature was about -40°C and there was very little oxygen. Death seemed certain. For forty minutes, Ewa was
unconscious. Waking up, she was still inside the storm. It was dark, and hailstones as big as tennis balls were
flying past. But fortunately, her glider, which was spinning above her head, was still in one piece. Eventually,
Ewa came out of the storm cloud and landed safely near a small farm. When her team reached her, she was 60
km away from the place where she took off. She was weak and covered in ice - but alive! Ewa was the luckiest
woman in the world. There's no logical reason why she survived. Ewa had frostbite on her ears and legs, but a
few days later, she competed in the World Championships.

children to care for the green planet. Moreover, some companies, especially the big ones organize competitions
related to actions such as reusing products or selling old clothes to protect the Earth through their simple daily
activities. As a result, people apparently have better ideas for setting.
