KEVINS FRIENDS1. Read the text and circle the four adjectives which best describe Kevin.funnygeneroushard-workinglazy

quietsociabletalkativeunsociableKevin Crowther likes being with other people and he likes telling them about things. Hes very popular with his friends because he tells a lot of good jokes. Because he likes his friends company, he likes team sports, but that doesnt mean hes good at them. For example, hes interested in playing basketball because his friends play a lot, but hes not very tall and also hes very bad at it. He enjoys football too, but hes not exactly Figo. He doesnt mind playing tennis and hes quite good at it, but he prefers playing doubles because there are four people and not just two. Hes also very good at running but he doesnt like it very much because its a solitary sport. He loves cooking, but only when he does it for his friends. He hates cooking for himself because theres no one to talk to!

1My mum says I must go once a week because its important for my education and I dont mind it. The most important thing is that you should be quiet because people are studying or reading. If you want to take books home, you have to be a member and you have to show your card, but if you only want to look at something you dont have to.

2Well, obviously, you have to buy a ticket from the machine or the man in the ticket office. Then you have to find the right platform and wait for it to arrive. When you find a seat, you mustnt put your feet on the opposite seat because it makes it dirty. You shouldnt fall asleep if youre on your own or you might miss your stop!3First of all, you should make a list of the things you want. When you get there you should get a trolley or a basket. If you need a lot of things, you should get a trolley and for this, in most places you have to have a coin.

I also didnt know which tree, and when I thought about it I also didnt know which park, or which city! So I didnt answer. It was obviously a wrong number and I forgot about it. At about quarter past two I heard another beep and I saw that I had another text message. This time it said Im at the tree. Where R U? This time I sent a reply: Which park? A minute later the reply came: Finsbury!! Incredible! My local park! I made a decision. I went to the park and looked for a big tree. I thought, Who sent the message? A boy or a girl?

1. Read the text and decide what Liams profession is. Circle the correct answer.doctorfootballergolfergymnastThe first thing is that I must eat well. I mustnt eat unhealthy things like chips or hamburgers. I must eat lots of salad, pasta and fish. This is a bit of a problem because Im happier eating fast food, but if I want to win I must follow a strict diet.

Obviously I must train every day but before I start I must make sure Im ready. I must stretch all my muscles; in my legs and arms, and also in my neck, my back and my stomach. I must be very flexible in my sport and stretching stops me from hurting myself.

Also, I must be very strong in all parts of my body, so I must spend a lot of time in the weight room, lifting weights. The stronger you are, the better you can be at my sport, if you maintain your flexibility.Finally, I must practise as much as possible.

The Glastonbury festival usually lasts three days, from Friday to Sunday, and you can buy your ticket at record shops or on the Internet. Many people buy a three-day ticket and stay in tents at the festival campsite.One problem at the campsite is keeping clean.

aA Day at the SalesbHelen Finds a BargaincHow much?!

Helen was given some money for her birthday, so last Saturday she went shopping with her boyfriend, Steve, in Oxford Street, where all the popular shops are in London. It wasnt January, when the big sales are on, but in some of the shops the prices were reduced. Helen was looking for a new top or jacket. Steve wasnt looking for anything in particular, but he was hoping Helen might buy him a present.

Helen found a blouse she really liked but when she was told the price, she said How much?! It was 100 pounds and that was too much for Helen.They were getting tired but it wasnt long before they found a small shop with a big sign in the window saying Special Discount Prices. They went in and Helen immediately saw a jacket that she liked. Im sure its too expensive, she said to Steve, but when she looked at the price she couldnt believe it. Only eight pounds.
