Today many people use the internet to keep in contact with their friends and family. I use it to

keep up to date with all my friends around the world. You do not even need to be next to your
computer to let your friends know what you are doing. Many people use their mobile phones to
write emails. It means they can keep in regular contact, which is good. However this is often
complicated as the buttons are very small and usually messages take a lot of time to write. It can also
be strange, as people often send very uninteresting things.

Generally though, the internet is a great way of keeping in touch with friends and family. You

can check for new messages at anytime. Some people switch on their computers first thing in the
morning before work. On the other hand a lot of people keep in touch with others while at work,
between meetings. However, I prefer to have a relaxing and fun end to the day. That is why
I read my messages at home.

6. The writer thinks people write …

a)

too many things

b)

boring things

c)

complicated things

7. The writer checks his messages …

a)

after work

b)

during work

c)

before work

I was on holiday in Atlanta. It was scorching hot.
I was driving when I saw a small black dog on

However, the next day the vet called him
‘Blacky’ and said his leg was completely broken.
I couldn’t pay for the operation or face putting
him to sleep; he was so sweet. When I stroked
him he often pushed his head into my hands.

Story 3
A man walked into a shop with a
gun and demanded all of the cash.
After the shopkeeper put the cash in
a bag, the robber saw a bottle of
whisky on the shelf. He told the
shopkeeper to put it in the bag, but
she said, 'You must be over 18 to

was, but the woman refused to
believe him. So the robber took out
his driving licence and gave it to her.
She examined it and saw that the
man was really over 18 and she put
the whisky in the bag. The robber
then ran from the shop. The
shopkeeper immediately notified the
police and gave the name and
address of the man that she had
seen on his licence. Police arrested
the robber 3 hours later.

Tekst 1

It was a sunny and windy day. “Perfect day for sailing,” Sarah and Mark said. Sailing is their

new hobby. They spend each weekend on the water. This time they invited me to go sailing with them.
I thought: “Why not? The lake looks calm, I’ll sit down and sunbathe for a while.” But I didn’t have
a chance to do so. As soon as I was on the boat, I wasn’t sure the weather was “perfect”. The wind was
very strong. The boat was rocking wildly and I didn’t feel well. I thought it was dangerous and became
very scared. I told my friends to bring me back to the shore. They left me there and continued sailing
without me.

The place was nice and full of people. I didn’t want to go home yet so I spent some time

watching others. I looked with interest at one couple. Everybody had special clothes, but this man and
his girlfriend were wearing jeans and sneakers. They were both a little fat. At first I thought they were
amateurs. But then they went towards a small boat. They started preparing the boat for sailing.
I watched them as they were working for about an hour. They clearly knew what they were doing.
Finally the man put on his life jacket. He started sailing while his girlfriend stayed on the shore.

I already knew that the wind was very strong so I was worried about the man in his small boat.

I could easily see his red sail. All the other sails were white. After no more than 5 minutes on the
water, he came back to the shore. In quarter of an hour, the couple packed their things into small
boxes. Then they put the boxes into the boot of their car and left.

“People are strange,” I thought. “So much work for just five minutes of fun!” But then I saw

a police boat coming towards the shore. Behind it, there was my friends’ boat without its sail. Their
boat had turned over. They lost all their things in the water and were completely wet and very cold.
I felt some respect for the man with the red sail. He knew sailing in bad weather could be really
dangerous.

In December 2006 the first polar bear was born in Berlin zoo in over 30 years. He was named

Knut and Germany soon fell in love with him. Knut’s mother didn’t want to look after her little son. So
Berlin zookeepers soon became Knut’s “parents”. Knut became famous all over the world. He was
even on the cover of Vanity Fair magazine.

But all good things come to an end. Knut is no longer a sweet little baby. Now he is an ordinary

grown-up polar bear. He’s still beautiful and zoo visitors are crazy about him, but journalists have
found another star. Now Germany has a new mascot, Emmi, a one-week-old rhinoceros in the north-
western town of Münster. The little rhino’s mother, Jade, put her baby into a corner and ignored it.
Zookeepers knew that Jade had already killed two of her babies before. This time she just pushed her
baby aside and gave it no milk. So they took little Emmi away after four minutes.

The zookeepers are going to be very busy looking after the little rhino. The baby already

weighs 58 kilograms and drinks gallons of milk a day. “Emmi is resting under two heating lamps. We
must be with her all the time. One night I sleep with Emmi, another night it’s somebody else’s turn.
Physical contact is important for these animals. They must feel somebody is close to them. Without it,
they fall ill,” says one of the zookeepers.
