I.-Read the following text.
Dear Suzie,
Hi! I had a great date last night, and I want to tell you about it. I went out with
Fernando. You didn´t meet him when you visited Colombia, but he´s a twenty-oneyear
old university student. I meet him at my twentieth birthday party last month (he
is a friend of Paula`s). He has long, dark hair and brown eyes, and looks terrific!
Well, traditional style for us Colombians, he picked me up exactly on time, at 7.00
p.m. Of course, my parents had asked him to come inside so he could introduce himself!
I think they approved because they smiled at him a lot! After they finished questioning
him (poor thing), we left in his car and…guess what… he even opened the door for me
to get in! And at the restaurant, he moved the chair for me to sit down. What a
gentleman! I like that, although as you know, it´s not common these days.
We had a great meal (the restaurant was La Santa – where we went once,
remember?), and he told me all about his life. He wants to be an architect and live in
Bogotá. The best part was the end –he paid! The, we went to a small bar and talked
for two hours or so. I wanted to stay longer, but I had to be home by twelve. He
walked me to the door and gave a sweet kiss goodnight on the check. Just as well,
because my mother opened the door right at the moment and saw us. I think she was
waiting for me to come home.
Anyway, I know many people think that this “traditional” style of dating is oldfashioned,
but I think it´s more romantic. It was certainly better than other dates I´ve
had, where the men want to go Dutch all the time! I wonder where we´ll go for our
next date…? Fernando is so romantic, I´m sure it will be fantastic!
So, that´s my news. I´ll see him again on the 24 th , that´s next Friday. I can´t wait!
Write and tell me about your love life, too, won´t you? How is Dave… or it is Carl now?
Lot´s of love,
Ana Luisa

V - Read the article and tick () A, B, or C.
I have often thought about moving from my country town to a big city like London. Life
in a country town is quiet and I’ve always found the bright lights and crowded streets
of a city very exciting. However, after a recent visit to London to do some Christmas
shopping and see the Christmas lights, I was very happy to get back home!
There are more people in London than ever before! It was crowded everywhere I
went. The streets, the pavements, the shops, the cafés and the Underground.
Everyone was trying to get somewhere quickly.
I travelled to London by train and the train was so full that I had to stand for the whole
journey. Then I wanted to go on the Underground. That was a big mistake! There were
hundreds of people on the platform and when the train arrived it was full! But the
people on the platform just pushed and pushed and got into the train! I didn’t. I went
back into the street and walked to Oxford Street. It was raining and freezing cold but it
was better than the crowded Underground.
After an expensive coffee I did my shopping. Well, I tried to do my shopping. There
were so many people on the pavements I had to walk in the road and everyone was in
a hurry. They were pushing and knocking each other with their bags. No one talked or
smiled. Then, of course, it was time to go home! My feet were hurting and it was
raining again so I decided not to walk. I got a taxi but it took forty-five minutes because
there was so much traffic. I can’t remember the train journey home. I slept.
Now I know why I live in the country. Life may not be as exciting or as fast as in the
city, but there’s more room on our buses and in our shops, and the people talk to you.
But the Christmas lights in London were beautiful!
Example: The writer went to London to buy some things for Christmas.

Alexander Graham Bell
Born Mar 3 1847 - Died Aug 2 1922
Telephone / Telegraphy
Telephone / Telegraphy
Patent Number(s) 174,465
Inducted 1974
Alexander Graham Bell's invention of the telephone grew out of his
research into ways to improve the telegraph. On April 6, 1875, Bell
was granted the patent for the multiple telegraph, which sent two
signals at the same time. In September 1875 he began to write the
specifications for the telephone. On March 7, 1876, the U.S. Patent
Office granted him Patent Number 174,465 covering, the method of,
and apparatus for, transmitting vocal or other sounds telegraphically
by causing electrical undulations, similar in form to the vibrations of
the air accompanying the said vocal or other sounds.
Invention Impact
The range of Bell's inventive genius is represented only in part by the
18 patents granted in his name alone and the 12 he shared with his
collaborators. These included 14 for the telephone and telegraph, four
for the photophone, one for the phonograph, five for aerial vehicles,
four for hydroairplanes, and two for a selenium cell.
Inventor Bio
Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, the inventor spent one year at a private
school, two years at Edinburgh's Royal High School (from which he
graduated at 14), and attended a few lectures at Edinburgh University
and at University College in London, but he was largely family-trained
and self-taught. Never adept with his hands, Bell had the good
fortune to discover and inspire Thomas Watson, a young repair
mechanic and model maker, who assisted him enthusiastically in
devising an apparatus for transmitting sound by electricity. After
inventing the telephone, Bell continued his experiments in
communication, which culminated in the invention of the photophonetransmission
of sound on a beam of light- a precursor of today's
optical fiber systems. He also worked in medical research and
invented techniques for teaching speech to the deaf. In 1888 he
founded the National Geographic Society.
TEXT TAKEN FROM INTERNET.
