3. problem that I was a girl. But then the team we beat complained.” The story appeared in a local newspaper and Jose Craveirinha, who had encouraged other African athletes, learnt about Maria. He went to meet her and found her kicking a ball around outside the football club. He realised immediately that she was fast. “He talked to me about athletics. I had no idea what he meant. The only sport I knew about was football. Then he bought me running shoes and took me training. It was such hard work and my legs really ached.” But Jose visited her parents and persuaded them that she could be successful and this would help end their poverty. They agreed to let him take her away to train. In 1991, she finally accepted an invitation to train in the United States. She had refused previously because she knew she would miss her family. Her background was unlike those of the girls she met in the US. She explains, "They were good athletes but, while I worried about my parents having enough to eat, they worried about dresses and make-up. They knew very little about me and even less about my problems. But I knew I was lucky to be there. The trainers were brilliant and I learnt a lot.” Today, Maria still runs and for most of the year she lives happily in South Africa with her mother. 25. What is the writer trying to do in the text?

As children grow older and learn to socialize with other boys and girls, the planned party causes great excitement. The child can decide who to invite, where to hold the event and what sort of food to prepare.
5. Busy pre-school children love lots of activity. Climbing, running and jumping is a way to use up excessive amounts of energy. A party in the garden, if the weather is fine, is ideal. Alternatively a local community hall could be hired. Some parents organize a visit from a children's entertainer, magician or puppeteer. When school age is reached, party games are enjoyed. Pass the parcel is popular with parents as the children have to sit down in a circle whilst the parcel is handed from one person to the next. When the music plays the parcel moves around from hand to hand. The person holding it when the music stops takes off one wrapping. When the last wrapping is removed the lucky winner keeps the prize. Music at parties is very important. Games such as musical bumps, musical chairs and musical statues are firm favorites. While another quieter game is spin the plate. The children sit in a circle and are given a number. An adult spins a plate or circular tin tray and calls out a number. The plate has to be 'caught' before it falls down. If it falls over before being grabbed, a forfeit is required, which maybe reciting a poem or singing a song. In the early teenage years, girls may only invite girls to their parties as they become self-conscious and shy in the company of boys.

READING. 1. Read the passage then choose the best option: In Britain, there are two occasions each year when people receive presents: on Christmas Day and birthdays. In the past, your 21st birthday was the most important because it symbolized becoming an adult. People traditionally received a silver key on that day to symbolize opening the door to the adult world. Today, people in Britain legally become adults at the age of eighteen, so they often have the biggest celebration on that birthday. The custom of giving on 25 December only dates back to Victorian times. Before that it was more common in Britain to exchange presents on New Year‘s Eve 31st December. These days on Christmas Eve parents put presents for young children in ‘stockings’ and leave them in their bedrooms while they are asleep. When children wake up in the morning, many of them believe that Santa Claus has visited them in the night and brought them their presents. Gifts for older children and grown – ups are put around the Christmas tree on Christmas Eve. Then on Christmas morning, everyone sits around the tree and opens their presents. Easter and Mother‘s Day are also important days. Young children usually receive chocolate eggs at Easter, and people often give presents (chocolates or flowers) to their mothers on Mother‘s Day. People also receive gifts on important occasions in their lives. For example, all the guests at a wedding traditionally bring a gift for the bride and groom. And these days, students sometimes get presents from their parents if they do well on their exams. 25. Which special occasion have NOT been mentioned in the text? A. Birthdays B. Getting married C. Giving births D. Mothers’ Day 26. Before Victorian times, what did people need to do to receive presents from others? . They had to prepare presents to give them. B.
