1. Text 1: Multiple choice
I really enjoyed my holiday in Australia. Last Sunday I visited a marine park called Sea World which is at surfers’
Paradise near Brisbane. It’s Australia’s largest marine park and I had a wonderful day there.
The first thing I saw was the Oceanorium where you can watch all sorts of sea fish and animal under water. There were
huge turtles, sharks, and a beautiful tropical sea fish. The most exciting thing was watching a man feeding the sharks. He
wore a special diving suit. Then I watched the performance of sea animals. The saw was in a big outdoor swimming pool.
There were killer whales, dolphins and sea lions, and they did all sort of fantastic things in the water. One of the girls in the
show rode around the pool on the back of killing whale, and another girl rode underwater on the back of a big turtle. After
the saw I had lunch. There were several big restaurant at the park and I had lunch in a restaurant that was shape like a ship!
Then I watched a wonderful water-ski show which was held on a lake.
There were lots of other things to do at the park. There was lake cruising, a train ride, a big water slide, swimming
pools, and an incredible roller coaster called the ‘corkscrew’- because it goes three loops upside down. But I wish I had gone
on the roller coaster ride before lunch rather than after it!

It is bright and sunny Saturday morning. The radio station is full of fans. They are excited to wait for Afgan. They are
ready to see his performance on the meet-and greet. When he is finished with the song, the host announces that it is
the time for autographing the memorabilia. I prepare my CDs and begin to stand in the line. When I arrive at the table, I
am speechless. It is unreal just seeing Afgan that close. I think it is really cool seeing him like that because he really just
feels like a normal person, which is awesome. He is also very friendly, so I don’t feel too nervous when I have a chance
to take pictures with him. He is just an amazing person.
