7. READING

Read the following text. Several sentences have been removed from it. Choose from the sentences a-k the one which fits each gap. There is one extra sentence which you do not need to use.

MARRIAGE LINES

One of the most attractive, colourful, and certainly the happiest of occasions is the traditional village wedding in Cyprus. 1............................

As far as the bride is concerned, her family have been preparing for her wedding ever since she was born, and a traditional pattern followed since that time. 2........................... Meanwhile her father has been saving as much as he can, because dowries usually include the marital home too, and most families buy land and build a house as the girl is growing up. 3............................. No wonder boy babies are so popular.

4............................. Excepting those cases where families have a match all lined up, the marriage procedure begins something like this: the boy chooses a girl and discusses the matter with his family, who take the matter from there. A relative of his - usually the godfather - approaches the girl's family with the proposition, and asks what they will offer in return for the boy's hand. 5............................. From this stage of official engagement it is not unusual for the couple to live together, to all intents as man and wife, on a type of trial marriage. 6.............................. Normally though, the marriage proper takes place about one year later.

On the big day women friends gather at the bride's house to start the cooking - which is no mean task when the custom is to invite the whole village! 7.............................. Accompanied by music from outside the door they wash her hair, make up her face and help her into her wedding dress. The groom, assisted by bachelor friends, is shaved and his hair cut in readiness for the service. 8................................

At Cypriot weddings the bride and groom enter the church together. When the service is ended, the priest takes the couple by the hand and walks them around a table while nearby guests throw rice, to wish them a "white" (easy) life together, and corn for happiness. 9................................. This wedding party is but the first in a three-day celebration of feasting, singing and dancing. The couple then have a few days to recover before the bridegroom's village stages its own party in honour of the newly-weds - a day merrymaking that traditionally takes place on the Sunday following the wedding. 10................................ The couple settle down to married life straightaway and plan a family as soon as possible - naturally hoping for sons...

Adapted from: Process Writing, Ron White and Valerie Arndt, Longman 1996

a) Cattle, cash, a car, certainly a television and nowadays a washing machine too - some, or perhaps all of these can be included in the dowry, depending on the girl's family finances.

b) The bride is treated like a queen, with a child to lift her train and a sparkling tiara upon her head.

c) Church bells beckon the couple, and after them a procession follows from the village.

d) In the meantime the bride is attended by some of her single friends.

e) As she grew up, she herself has quite possibly helped her mother and grandmother in the painstaking task of building up an entire linen dowry, for she is expected to provide as many as 100 sheets and pillow cases, 100 towels, bedspreads, table linen, runners, cushions... the list is endless.

f) There is no honeymoon.

g) Outside the church the bride and groom are congratulated before one and all proceed to the newly-weds' house to start celebrating.

h) Everyone in the village is invited, and excitement builds up during the preceding days, but preparations for this day can literally be said to have started 18 to 20 days earlier.

i) If the engagement is to be broken, therefore, the union can only be undone in an ecclesiastical court.

j) The boy, it is reasoned, will provide for his wife thereafter, so the girl's family is expected to set the couple up for marriage.

k) Once negotiations have been finalised and an agreement reached, everyone shakes hands on it, and the following evening all relatives on both sides are invited to feast and celebrate at the future bride's family home, and the engagement date is decided.

I PASSED MY DRIVING TEST - THEN TOTALLED A FEW CARS!

Just two months after passing my driving test, I crashed my car and wrote off two others. I lost control on the corner at the bottom of my road. I panicked, so I don't remember it too clearly, but I think I tried to stamp on the brake pedal and hit the accelerator instead. I ended up smashing into two parked cars. Both of them were crumpled up like empty tin cans. I wasn't badly hurt, just shaken, but when I saw the damage I'd done it really hit me. I was screaming with shock by the time the police arrived.

A while later, they said I could be charged with driving without due care and attention. But I had a get-out option. Instead of going to court, and possibly ending up with a fine and no driving licence, I could agree to sign up to the Driver Improvement Scheme. This, I found out, was a pilot scheme being tried out in a few areas of the country. I'd have to pay £120 for the course, which would involve a day and a half of tuition, designed to make me a better, safer driver.

Of course, I agreed to do it, but when I arrived at the local council's Accident Prevention Centre for my first day, I wondered what I'd got myself into. Everyone was sitting in a classroom, like we were back at school, and it seemed far too formal for me. But we ended up having a good laugh - and we learnt a lot. We talked about danger on the roads, and then took turns driving with John, our instructor. He was quite critical at first, which really annoyed me, but the more I drove with him, the more I realised what I was doing wrong. I've learnt to spot accidents waiting to happen and be more sensible.

It's all very well passing your test - even if it did take me three tries - but it's only the first stage in learning to drive safely. Now I'm a lot more alert and my mum trusts me to drive her car - a definite vote of confidence. Apparently, the scheme was successful, it's being introduced all over the country this year.
