Exercise 8: Read the letter from Rachel to her pen friend Susie. Then complete the exercise.
Dear Susie,

Thank you for your letter. I’m writing to tell you about the sports I enjoy doing. I like playing
tennis and swimming, but my favorite sport is cycling. I got my first bike when I was 8, and I
started cycling to school with my sister, Helen, when I was 12. Now my sister goes to a different
school, so I ride to school with my friend Laura. At the weekend, I often go cycling in the
countryside with my parents and Helen. We cycle all day and take a picnic for lunch. We go
cycling in winter and summer, but I prefer cycling in winter because the countryside looks pretty.
I like taking photos on my phone of the trees and animals.
I also go on cycling holidays with my family. We usually go to the north of England, but last
summer, we went to the mountains in the south of Spain. We all enjoyed cycling in the day and
going to restaurants in the evenings. It was sometimes difficult to cycle in Spain. It was not
difficult to cycle in the mountains because we had mountain bikes, but the weather was very
hot, so we got quite tired. I would like to go cycling in Spain again next summer, but my parents
want to go cycling in Scotland.
I also cycle for my school team. My friend Laura joined the team two years ago, and I joined
last year. We race against cyclists from other schools. Last year, I won second prize in the 10
km race. I was really happy, but next year I will try to win first prize.
In your next letter, please tell me about the sports you like. What is your favorite sport? Are you
in a team?

Hope to hear from you soon.

Best wishes,
Rachel

Exercise 10: Read an article about a teenager’s hobby.

Then choose the correct answer, True or False.

Adam Jones has an unusual hobby for a 15-year-old boy. Most of his friends like to spend their time
playing sports like football and basketball or playing computer games, but Adam prefers to cook.
Adam first became interested in food from watching cookery programs on television, but he learned
how to cook from his father who was a chef in a local Italian restaurant. His father says that Adam
is now the best cook in the family. In the past, Adam’s father did all the cooking for the family, but
now Adam cooks most of the family meals. His parents love Adam’s cooking, and even his younger
sister Sarah eats most of the food he cooks.
Adam likes cooking food from all over the world, but especially Italian, Indian and Thai food. Last
year, he went on holiday to India and Thailand with his family, and he enjoyed trying all of the
different dishes. Next year, he is going to travel to China and learn how to cook Chinese food. Adam
also likes computers and has his own website called ‘Cook with Adam’. He first made the website
as part of a school project, but now he uses it to tell people about his cooking and to teach young
people how to cook. It has easy food recipes, photos of his food and videos to show people how to
cook his favorite meals. The website is very popular with young people, and Adam hopes that it will
make them more interested in learning to cook. His father now has his own restaurant, and Adam
has a part-time job as a chef there. When people go to the restaurant, they are often surprised that
the chef is so young. Adam’s father is happy for him to work there, but only at the weekends because
he doesn’t want him to be too tired for school.
Adam recently won the first prize in a cooking competition for young people in the UK. He made a
chicken curry with rice and vegetables and a chocolate and raspberry dessert. He was very surprised
to be in the final part of the competition, and he couldn’t believe it when he won first prize. He won
£500 and a cooking lesson with a famous TV chef. Adam’s whole family were very happy that he
won the competition, especially his father. After the competition, he appeared on a television news
show and a cookery show. In the future, Adam wants to move to London and work as a chef at a top
restaurant. He would also like to have his own cookery show on TV and to travel around the world
and learn how to cook food from many different countries.

Exercise 11: Read part of the letter. Then match the information with paragraph A or B.

A Thank you for your letter. I also enjoy sports. I like playing basketball and swimming, but my
favorite sport is football. I like football, because it is an exciting game, and it is a good way to
stay healthy. I started playing football when I was 9. In the summer, I often go to a football
summer camp. The summer camp is in the countryside, about two hours from my city, Los
Angeles. It is near a big forest. We do football training in the mornings and play matches in the
evenings. In the afternoons, we do other sports like swimming, walking and cycling. We work
hard, but we have a lot of fun too.

B I also play for a football team. I joined the school team when I was 12. We do football training
twice a week, and we usually play a match on Saturdays with other school teams. I always feel
tired after matches, so I go to bed early! Sometimes we play on the football field at our school,
and sometimes we travel to other schools by bus and play there. Every year, our school enters a
football competition with schools all over California. Last year, our team won the competition,
so we were all really happy, and we had a special dinner at a restaurant to celebrate. Next year,
I want to join another girl’s football team in Los Angeles. It is a strong team with lots of good
players, so it’s difficult to get onto the team. I need to do a lot of training this summer!
