I. Read the text CHEERLEADING
Hi Luisa,
I’m feeling great! I’m going to be a cheerleader for the school football team! I know you don’t play American
football in European schools, but in the USA nearly every school has a football team. The football competition
is a big part of our school life. Cheerleaders don’t play, but they go to every match, perform in front of the
crowd and support their team.
There are 30 girls in our group. You need to be strong and athletic. Cheerleading is a mixture of dancing and
gymnastics and there are a lot of difficult movements to learn. So we’re working hard.
In the holidays we’re having a cheerleaders’ summer camp. We’re going to train together for three weeks
before the school starts. Then, from September to November we’re going to practice for an hour every day
after school. I’m going to join the gym so that I can get more exercises.
Some people say that cheerleading is a silly activity. But at my school we think it’s a real sport and we’re very
serious about it. There is even a cheerleading competition between schools in November - and of course we’re
going to try to win it.
Wish me luck!
Love, Antonia

I. Read the text HAVE YOU EVER TRIED CURLING? By David Jones
I’ve just had my first curling lesson! Curling is one of the Scotland’s favourite winter sports. It’s played on ice
by two teams of four players. A rectangle 45 meters long and 4 meters wide is marked on the ice. At one end of
the rectangle there is a circle.
The players have to send a large stone across the ice towards the circle. It weighs about 20 kg. The aim of the
game is to get the stone as near the centre of the circle as possible. If team A’s stones are nearer than team
B’s , team A wins. The players use special brushes to sweep the ice in front of the stone, so that it goes more
quickly. They wear special shoes and warm clothes.
It’s very difficult to walk on the ice and I fell over several times before I even touched the stone. My couch,
Kay, told me that it was normal. “Everyone thinks it’s an easy sport” -she said. “But professional players have to
practice for years if they want to be really good”.
I was amazed when my first stone stopped next to the centre of the circle. Kay said it was beginner luck! Then
I fell over again…and again. After half an hour on the ice, I was exhausted. Curling isn’t easy. I think I’ll just
watch it on TV in future!

What’s in a name? Robert Keller finds out that “Silence” restaurant is something to shout about.
When I walked into Silence restaurant at 39, Highgate Road, London, I couldn’t believe my ears. It wasn’t silent
at all! In fact, it was full of sounds of people enjoying delicious food in a great atmosphere.
On the waiter’s recommendation I ordered curry. I’m a big fan of curry and I’ve tried many different kinds, but
I’ve never tasted a curry like that I had there. It had a wonderful aroma and was very, very hot and spicy. I
cooled it down with a refreshing vanilla ice cream served with chopped nuts and cream.
The staff at Silence is friendly and helpful and my waiter was happy to tell me that the place is very popular. In
fact, since it opened two weeks ago, it has been full every night. That’s hardly surprising, as a meal for two
costs only 35 pounds.
For those of you who like the sound of Silence, you can book a table by calling 020 7975 3777. I would strongly
recommend it to all food lovers.

F. Read the text MEXICO CITY IN A DAY
Danny Spector, our Latin America Travel correspondent, takes us to one of the world’s biggest and most exciting cities:
Mexico City.
Many people travelling to Mexico pass through Mexico City but most of them never actually visit Mexico’s capital. If you
asked those people why, they would probably say something about the air. Mexico City is a very big city and the air pollution
is always the problem. But a lot of its inhabitants say that air pollution is less of a problem now than in the past.
I started my day in the historic center. Built on what used to be an island in an ancient lake, it’s the oldest part of the city
and includes the Zocalo, the largest public square in the Americas. The first thing I noticed there was an enormous Mexican
flag in the center. I spent some time walking around, but since I only had a day to spend there, I decided to move on.
I learned that the best way to see the most sights in the shortest time is to take the “Turibus”, a red, two level bus similar
to the double decker buses in London, except that the top level has no roof. This means that you can see the sights better,
but it also means that you need to wear a lot of sun cream. You almost never need to wait for more than 30 minutes and a
daily ticket allows you unlimited rides.
I took the bus to Chapultepec Park and saw the amazing National Museum of Anthropology, perhaps the most famous of the
city’s 100 museums. It’s also one of the biggest, but I only saw a small part of it. Other sights in the park that I didn’t have
time to see include an amusement park, a forest with beautiful old trees and a large zoo with giant pandas.
I finished the day by going to Plaza Garibaldi, which always has street musicians playing traditional Mexican music. There’s
also “birria “, a spicy goat meat soup sold at the self-service restaurants in a large building just off the square. I didn’t have
enough time to enjoy both. And I hope to have time for both the next time I go to this exciting, beautiful city.

ENGLISH IN THE THIRD MILLENIUM
Two thousand years ago English didn’t exist. A thousand years ago it was a language used by less than two
million people. Now it is the most ____________language in the world, spoken by more than a billion people on
the planet as their first, second or third language. English __________ dominates science, business, the mass
media and popular culture. For example, 80% of e-mails on the Internet are in English. But where will English be
at the end of the third millennium?
One view is that English is going to become even more important as a __________language, dominating the
world’s trade and media while most other languages will become localised or just die out. At present, over half
of the world’s 6.500 languages are in danger of_______________. Another view is that English is already
breaking up, as Latin did, into several separate languages.
Hopefully, neither of these things will happen. Although different varieties of English will continue to develop,
standard English will survive for international communication. In addition, the frightening prospect of a
culturally uniform world totally dominated by one language is impossible. Governments around the world are also
starting to protect smaller languages and recognize the importance of cultural and ___________diversity.
English will probably stay in control for a long time, at least while the USA remains the top superpower, but it
definitely won’t become the only language in the world.
1. A) influential B) effective C) successful
2. A) information B) currently C) first time
3. A) final B) popular C) global
4. A) extinction B) effort C) develop
