READING

Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.

Americans, in general, are big eaters and one of the greatest pleasures of the day is sitting down to a hearty breakfast. Most neighborhood dinners cafeterias offer breakfast specials. Some can be as simple as buttered toast with coffee. Others can almost be equivalent to a full course meal which can provide enough calories for the entire day. The breakfast special is offered daily and runs usually from seven until eleven in the morning after which the prices change and everything is ordered a la carte.

Some fast food restaurants offer an "all-you-can-eat" buffet breakfast which may include more than thirty choices of every breakfast item imaginable. For a set price one can get as many refills as one wants. A complete breakfast will cost less than five dollars with tips included.

Some regional favorites also add variety to the American breakfast. In the south, grits with butter may replace hash brown, and hot spicy biscuits and gravy seasoned with bits of meat make up a meal in themselves.

Part 1.

Script:

1.

Boy: Mum, I really need some new football boots and some new football socks.

Woman: Sorry, but I bought you some new trainers last weekend, I can't afford to buy you football boots as well. You can have the socks if you like.

Boy: All right. I'll get them in town this afternoon.

2.

Woman: Did you enjoy your sister's party?

Man: Yes, but it didn't start well. My car broke down on the way, so I went back home and phoned my friend, but he'd already left.

Woman: Did you stay at home then?

Man: No, I got a taxi and my friend gave me a lift home.

3.

Girl: I think I left my magazine on the bus.

Boy: No, you didn't. I saw it on the kitchen table this morning.

Girl: Yes, but I picked it up and put it in my bag and it isn't there now. I was reading it on the way home.

Boy: Well, I don't think you'll see it again then.

4.

Man: Good afternoon, can I help you?

Woman: Yes, I just ordered this coffee but I'm afraid it's almost cold.

Man: Oh, I'm sorry about that. Let me get you another one.

Woman: Thanks, but the coffee looks a bit too strong for me. Is there any chance of having tea instead?

Man: No problem. Anything else, madam? Would you like a glass of water to go with the hat drink?

Woman: That's OK thanks. I had one with the coffee.

5.

Man: I was thinking of planting some of these flowers out next year, but l've never grown them before.

Woman: Oh, they'll be lovely if you can time everything just right. I made the mistake of planting them out in January, but the ground was too wet

Man: So a little later then?

Woman: Definitely. It says you can start them in February on the packet. Personally, I don't think it's a bad idea to wait until March. The ground will be much drier then.

Part 2.

Script:

Welcome to The Film Review Programme! Today we're reviewing some of this week's new films. Let's start with this week's likely hit, Jungle Fever. This is quite an unusual one! Some of you may remember last year's TV documentary film about a family of tigers in India.

Well, this is a cartoon based on that programme and I can report that it's great fun for people of any age.

Some of you will be excited to know that actor Steve Wills is back on our screens! You'll remember him as action hero Marty Kay, but in his new film, Call It, he actually plays a chef, working in an Italian pizza takeaway in New York City. Actor Jennifer Peckory plays his manager, Jo-Jo, and romance is in the air!

Don't miss Swim!, a comedy which takes a look at learning to swim as an adult. It's about a 20-year-old man who wants to join in with his friends when they swim in the lake near his home. So, he goes to the local pool to take lessons. Be prepared to laugh until it hurts!

And now it's competition time, so I hope you've listened carefully and made some notes! If you want to enter this month's competition, just go online and answer the ten questions in our quiz. Go to www.movies.co.uk and select your answers.

Last month, we gave out free cinema tickets as a prize - this time we're offering restaurant tickets which you can use at a choice of exciting places.

You must complete your entry by January the twenty-eighth. Make sure you've finished by two p.m, when the competition closes. We'll announce the winners on the thirtieth of January - and if you're lucky, the prize will be yours by the second week in February. Good luck and goodbye!

Part 2.

Suggested answer:

In my opinion, children should take part in community activities for some reasons. First, these activities help them foster social relationships and learn how to work well with others, which is important for their future. Second, joining a community teaches children to be kind and responsible, helping them grow into good citizens. Lastly, community activities allow kids to have fun and learn new skills outside of school. Therefore, it is clear that children can gain many benefits from participating in community events.
