Hello, People of Thailand!

Whatever country we come from, whatever colour our skin is, we all have one thing in common: we are all
people of the world.

Thailand is a beautiful country with a rich culture, just south of China. People call it the jewel of south-east
Asia for a good reason. Its tropical climate, white sandy beaches and ancient temples make it a perfect
holiday destination. What makes it really special, though, is its people.

Thai people are good-looking. They are short with delicate features. They have got black hair, dark eyes
and light brown skin. The Thais are friendly people who are well known for being generous and kind. „We
are happy people who have strong wills and are especially proud of our history,“ says Kasem from
Bangkok.

Most people in Thailand live in villages. A typical Thai village consists of wooden houses, a school and a
Buddhist temple. Most of the people in the villages are farmers and fishermen. The men usually work in
the fields or catch fish in the rivers, and the women plant the crops.

Family life is very important in Thailand, and families often eat together. Thai food is very spicy and
includes curries, fish, seafood, soups and noodles. „We eat rice with our meals and use a lot of strong
spices in our cooking,“ explains Kasem.

Thai people love to enjoy themselves. Popular free-time activities include Thai boxing and watching
traditional dance shows. Thais also celebrate many festivals throughout the year. „My favourite holiday is
Surin, in November, when we always have elephant football matches,“ says Kasem.

Thailand is a wonderful country. Its fascinating sights, rich cultural history and warm-hearted people make
it unique.

Dear Terry,

Greetings from Cairo! The weather is very hot here and I’m having a wonderful time. I’m staying with my
friend, Abdullah. He lives in the centre of Cairo.

I’ve been here since Monday and I’ve already done lots of things! I’ve already visited the Khan al-Khalili
bazaar. We visited it on Tuesday. You can’t imagine how noisy and crowded it was! I bought some lovely
handmade souvenirs there. I have also seen the Pyramids and the Sphinx at Giza. I saw them yesterday.
They were amazing. I even rode a camel. It was fun! I’ve been to a traditional restaurant. Abudllah took
me there last night. I tried couscous and falafel. The place was fantastic and the food was just delicious.

There are a lot of things I haven’t done yet. I haven’t been on a boat trip down the River Nile yet, and I
haven’t visited the Egyptian Museum. We are going on a boat trip tomorrow and we are going to visit the
museum one of these days to see the exhibits. We are also going to visit Luxor. The place is famous for
its huge temples and statues.

Cairo is a fascinating city – you must visit it one day! Anyway, I’m returning to England on Sunday next
week, so I’ll call you then.

Best wishes, Jack

Reading Task 5
Read the report and mark the sentences below: "True" or "False".

Introduction
The purpose of this report is to assess the new Blue Moon restaurant in Abbington’s city centre, which I
visited on 14th May.

Food and Prices

The menu at the Blue Moon is rather boring for vegetarians as there are only a few salad and pasta
dishes to choose from. However, there are plenty of delicious dishes for those who eat meat. I ordered
the grilled chicken with Basmati rice. The chicken was very tasty, but the rice was rather cold. I also
thought that the Blue Moon was rather expensive.

Service
The staff at the Blue Moon was friendly and helpful. Even though my guest and I asked a lot of questions,
our waiter remained polite and patiently explained many dishes to us. Although it was very busy on the
night I visited the Blue Moon, the service was still fast.

Atmosphere
The comfortable seating, lovely furnishings and live piano music helped to give the Blue Moon a relaxing
atmosphere. The excellent food and service definitely made our evening pleasurable.

Conclusion
The new Blue Moon restaurant in Abbington’s city centre is, on the whole, a wonderful place to dine.
However, I think the manager should make a few changes. Firstly, she should have a wider selection of
vegetarian dishes, so that all customers are satisfied. Also she should make sure that all hot dishes are
served hot.

Finally, she should lower the prices to give everyone a chance to visit this fabulous new restaurant.

1. The menu is great for vegetarians. ❏ True ❏ False

2. The restaurant was rather expensive. ❏ True ❏ False

3. The staff was rude. ❏ True ❏ False

4. The restaurant is a wonderful place to dine. ❏ True ❏ False

5. All hot dishes were served hot. ❏ True ❏ False
