Transcript: My grandmother is more than ninety years old, which makes her the oldest person in the
whole family. Despite her old age, her memory is still fresh. She always tells us that many things used to
be different when she was young.
My grandma used to begin her day very early. She used to start her day at 4 o'clock while everybody
else was still in beds. She used to do all the housework by herself. She used to make clothes for her
children and as for her outdoor work, she used to raise some chicken and sheep and she also used to help
the males to grow vegetables.
There didn't use to be many pastime activities. Her hobby used to be listening to the radio. In the
evening all the family used to sit by the fire in the sitting room where all the family gathered at night to tell
tales or discuss family matters as weddings, harvest time or to assign the next day's work.

nearby forest, go fishing in the river, and she would tell me stories about her childhood. My sister Emily
was not interested in sports as a child. She preferred reading books and drawing pictures. Emily had a big
collection of storybooks, and she would spend hours immersed in her favorite tales. David, our neighbor,
moved to our small town when he was ten. He used to live in a big city, but he didn't like the noise and
crowds. He enjoyed the quiet and open spaces of our town. We often played together in the fields and
went on bike rides around the neighborhood. David had many stories about life in the city, and we loved
hearing about the tall buildings and busy streets. My friend Sarah had a pet cat named Max. She loved
Max very much and took care of him every day. We often played with Max in her backyard. Max was a
playful cat who liked to chase after toys and climb trees. Sarah would sometimes dress him up in funny
outfits, and we would laugh at how cute he looked. In school, my favorite subject was history. 1 loved
learning about important historical events, and famous people from the past. My friend Michael,
however, didn't like history much. His favorite subject was science. He was fascinated by experiments
and always wanted to become a scientist. Michael's room was filled with science kits and books, and he
loved conducting experiments to see how things worked. He would often share his findings with us, and
sometimes we would help him with his projects.

Write a paragraph (about 100 -120 words) to talk about your favorite place: city or
countryside. Explain your choice, you can use your own ideas. (1.5 points)
Sample: My favorite place is the countryside, where life feels more peaceful compared to the busy city
centre. Firstly, the fresh air, open spaces, and the fragrance of nature make it an ideal escape from the
bustling city life. While cities are known for their tourist attractions and shopping malls, I love the quiet
beauty of small villages where there are a lot of fields and farm animals. Moreover, the sense of
community is strong, and neighbors get on with one another, always willing to give advice or help out.
Lastly, in the countryside, traditions are preserved, and speciality food often comes from local farms,
making every meal fresh & hygienic.
