    Task 5.2

    You are going to read a newspaper article about shopping on the Internet. Choose the best heading from the list (A—G) for each part (1—4) of the text and write its letter in the box. There are two extra headings that you do not need to use. There is one example at the beginning (0).

    Shopping on the Internet

    1. Shopping on the Internet or shopping on-line is becoming more and more popular. More and more people are using the Internet to buy things. Why do people use the Internet to shop?

    2. Some people say it is more convenient. They don't have to leave their homes to order something, and they can shop for anything they want at any time, day or night. Other people say they can find things for sale that they can't find in the stores near their homes. Still other people say they can find better prices on the Internet.

    3. If you want to buy something on the Internet, you need a credit card. You have to type your credit card number and some other information on the website and send it to the store over the Internet. You have to be sure that the store will not use your information in the wrong way. You don't want someone to get your credit card number and charge something to your account. Of course, you always have to be careful with your credit card number, because people sometimes steal credit card numbers from stores and restaurants too.

    4. For people who are too nervous to shop on-line, the Internet is a good place to go window-shopping. Window-shopping is when you go to a store and look at the things for sale, but don't plan to buy anything. Window-shopping is easy on the Internet. You can see what kinds of products are available and how much they cost. You can visit stores with branches near you, or you can visit stores that are only on the Internet.

    Some stores have a website for information about their stores, but not for shopping. Some stores have a website for information about their stores, and you can shop on-line there too. Some stores are only for on-line shopping.

    A A certain time for shopping on the Internet

    B Growing popularity of the Internet

    C Getting credit cards from other people

    D Window-shopping as a way-out for people who are afraid to buy something

    E The reasons of using the Internet for shopping

    Task 5.3


    You are going to read a newspaper article that is the response to Britney's letter. Some sentences have been removed from the text. Choose from the list (A—G) the most appropriate sentence to fill each gap (1—5) in the text and write its letter in the box. There is one extra sentence that you do not need to use. There is one example (0) at the beginning.

    The Response to Britney's Letter

    After weeks of speculation Britney Spears has released her "letter to the fans." (0)

    While Spears is taking a break from the limelight she says that she really wants to watch "Saved" with Mandy Moore and re-runs of "Sex and the City." (1) On that note, Britney says, "Being married is GREAT and I can't wait to start my family."

    After reading this letter I must admit that my respect toward Britney has grown. (2)

    I mean, the Madonna kiss was HOT, but it was obviously just another attempt for her and Madonna to land on the cover of every magazine worldwide. And, the 55-hour wedding was a great way to garner some much needed attention after "In the Zone" sales weren't doing so well. (3)

    "My prerogative right now is to just chill & let all of the other overexposed blondes on the cover of Us Weekly be your entertainment... GOOD LUCK GIRLS!!"

    As for all the antics, Britney says, "I'm sorry that my life seemed like it was all over the place the past 2 years, it's probably because IT WAS! (4) Going & going & going is all I've ever known since I was 15 years old. It's amazing what advisors will push you to do, even if it means taking a naive, young, blonde girl & putting her on the cover of every magazine."

    While Britney may hope that the letter puts an end to the chaos of paparazzi that surrounds on any given day, it is highly doubtful that any of that will come to an end anytime soon. (5)

    I look forward to seeing and hearing more from Britney in the future.

    So, what do you think of Britney's letter? Tell us in our brand new column "Letters to the Editor".

    A While I have been a fan of Britney since the beginning I have been somewhat annoyed with her publicity antics over the past few years.

    B Don't expect the singer to just be sitting around on this break though she and husband, Kevin

    Federline, will be taking their honeymoon. C She continues, "I understand now what they mean when they talk about child stars." D But, Mrs. Federline is ready to put all that behind her. E Good luck Madonna!

    F In the letter the superstar announces that she is taking a break from her career to enjoy the "simple things" in life that she has missed out on over the past few years. G I would like to wish Britney and Kevin the best of luck on their marriage.

    You are going to read an interview with the actor Robert Pattinson, who plays Cedric in The Goblet of Fire. The interviewer's questions have been mixed up. Match the questions (A—H) below to the answers (1—6). There is one extra question that you do not need to use. Write your answers in the boxes below. There is one example at the beginning (0).

    A You must be the only one! What was your first day like?

    B Hey, Robert! We bet you can't believe you got to star in The Goblet of Fire!

    C Do your fans think you're hotter than Daniel Radcliffe?

    D Have you had any run-ins with crazy fans yet?

    E Did you get to hang out with Harry, Hermione and Ron in between filming?

    F Do you think Ron and Hermione will ever get together?

    G Any funny stories from the set?

    H 'Fess up, what is Daniel Radcliffe really like?

    Harry Potter Hottie!

    0 It was great, but I didn't really know what was involved 'cause I hadn't seen the other films.

    1 On my first day we filmed the maze sequence from the end of the film. It was quite intimidating. On the first day we had to hit each other — it was really strange punching Harry Potter! Those first weeks were the most exciting part of the shoot. But I was so nervous.



    1. In one scene, Michael Gambon, who played Dumbledore, couldn't remember character's names! He'd be like, "Ron Potter"! It was really funny.

    2. No, and I went to a convention the other day and the fans were all really nice. But if anyone asks for my autograph, I get really shy and feel like an idiot.

    3. Well, they had five hours of tutoring a day, so I was hanging out by myself! They're really nice, though.

    4. He's a very cool guy — he's very talented and he's really intelligent, too. I wouldn't have been able to handle all of the stuff that's happened the way that he has.

    5. I think that Harry and Hermione will get together — then Ron will find out and kill Harry, ha, ha!

    Task 6.1


    You are going to read the text about the history of snowboards. Answer the questions (1—10) after the text in no more than five words. Write your answers on the lines. There is an example at the beginning (0).

    The History of Snowboards

    The first snowboards were made in the 1960s. However, it was in the late 70s that they became more popular. Throughout the 80s, more and more people began taking up the sport, even though snowboards were not allowed on most ski hills. Despite its earlier setbacks, snowboarding is now the world's fastest growing winter sport and most resorts welcome snowboards.

    In 1963, a Grade 8 student named Tom Sims designed a skiboard for a school project in New Jersey. Then, in 1966, a man named Sherman Poppen attached two skis together for his kids on Christmas day. He called his invention "the Snurfer," which combines the words "snow" and "surf." In 1969, Jake Burton Carpenter received a snurfer for Christmas. He soon began designing boards, and today "Burton" is a popular brand of snowboard.

    By the 1980s, snowboarding had become very popular. However, most ski resorts did not allow snowboarding because, they thought it was too dangerous. Since many snowboarders were young, many older skiers did not want them on the ski hills. The snowboarders had to go to the backcountry, away from patrolled resorts.



    - M& Rejection at the resorts did not stop snowboarding from growing in popularity. Eventually, the owners of ski resorts changed their views. They realized that they could make more money by allowing snowboarding. One by one, the resorts began to welcome snowboards. Today, many resorts even set aside special areas where snowboarders can practice their creative tricks. In 1998, snowboarding became one of the sports in the Winter Olympics.

    Snowboarding has come a long way in the last 40 years. Winter resorts now welcome the sport they once turned away. Each year, this exciting winter sport becomes more and more popular.



    1. When did snowboards first become more popular? in the late 70s

    2. What is the status of snowboarding in the world winter sports nowadays despite its earlier setbacks?

    3. When were snowboards not allowed on most ski hills?

    4. What was the purpose of Tom Sim's designing a skiboard?

    5. What did Sherman Poppen do for his kids?

    6. What is a popular brand of snowboards?

    7. Where did snowboarders have to go to ski instead of resorts?

    8. What was the reason snowboarding was rejected by most ski resorts?

    9. What did owners of ski resorts eventually realize about the snowboarding?

    10. What have many resorts set nowadays for snowboarders?

    11. When did snowboarding become an Olympic sport?
