4g Skills Reading (True/False statements)
- a) Read the rubric. You are going to read a text about birthday celebrations. Read the text and decide if the statements are T (true) or F (false).
So Many Birthdays
If you think that a birthday celebration is a cake, blowing out candles, the Happy Birthday song and presents, you may be wrong. Birthday celebrations are hardly similar around the world and there are places where people do not mark birthdays at all. The tradition began in ancient Egypt where people gathered to celebrate birthdays together. In some European countries, a birthday is not as important as a “name day” – the day of a saint from whom the name comes. People put a flag outside the house. Parents secretly put presents at night around the child’s bed. In Brazil, the guests pull the ears of the person who celebrates their birthday because long ears mean long years of life. In Australia and New Zealand, the traditional treat is white bread with butter and sweets on top. Birthday food in China is very long spaghetti.
Think and say why.
b) Read the text and decide if the sentences are T (true) or F (false).
- The traditions of birthday celebrations are similar around the world.
- Birthday tradition began in Northern Africa.
- There is a tradition to celebrate a name instead of one’s birthday.
- In some countries, children find their birthday presents when they go to bed.
- People pull the ears of the person who was born on the day to make them happy.
- Traditional birthday food is always sweet.
- a) Read the rubric. You are going to read a text about honey. Read the text and decide if the statements are T (true) or F (false).
Natural Goodness
Honey is a natural sugar. It is the only sweetener that is not manmade and it contains all the ingredients our bodies need. In short, it is a super food. Read on to find out why.
Healthy Option
Sugar is bad for us because it can upset our stomach and make us fat. But because honey is natural, it can actually make an upset stomach better. It is sweeter than sugar too so you don’t have to use as much of it. It can also help us fall asleep and burn fat. In fact, eating honey means that you can burn fat while you sleep.
Instant Energy
Honey gives us an instant energy boost, too. Athletes use it when they train because it stops them getting tired after exercise. People who can’t get going in the morning should have some honey on their toast instead of jam or another sugary spread to give them some added energy to start the day.
Natural Doctor
When you are ill or hurt, maybe you should check your kitchen cupboard before calling the doctor. It can help a sore throat and stop coughing better than most medicines. Also, believe it or not, it can heal wounds and burns and stop the itching of insect bites. Plus eating a little honey every day can actually stop you getting infections. It’s no wonder then that so many people use this gift from nature but remember a little goes a long way. Because of its sweetness you don’t have to use very much to still get all that natural goodness.
b) Read the text and decide if the sentences are T (true) or F (false). Which of the sentences contain a negative word?
- Honey comes from a non-human maker.
- Eating honey can help you stay in shape.
- Honey causes problems with sleep.
- Sportsmen use honey so they don’t tire too easily.
- There are hardly any medical uses for honey.
- You shouldn’t eat too much honey.

Writing (Writing Bank 1: emails p. WB1)
- a) Read the rubric, find the key words then in pairs, brainstorm for ideas under the headings:
You have received this email from your English friend Paul.
Summers in my country are hot; sometimes it rains. What is the weather like in your country in summer? What do people like doing in summer? What do you like doing in summer? Write him an email and answer his three questions (60–100 words).
weather — boiling hot
activities — go to the beach
reasons — spend time with friends/family
b) Use your ideas in Ex. 4a to write your email. Follow the plan.
Plan
Dear…
Para 1: opening remarks, reason for writing (Hi! How are you? Let me tell you…)
Para 2: describe the weather, activities you do, reason you like them (The weather is… It’s … We often go… I like it because…)
Para 3: ask friend about summer in his/her country, closing remarks (What’s the weather like in …? Write back soon.)
(your first name)
1 b)
1 — T
2 — T
3 — F
4 — T
5 — F
6 — T
Слова с отрицанием: never, hardly, don’t.
2 b)
I’d like him/her to be in restaurant in Picture C. The place is popular with young people because it’s modern and stylish. The service is fast and it’s got a lively atmosphere. It might be a bit busy and the music is loud, but I’m sure he/she’ll like it. I wouldn’t take him/her to the other two restaurants because although they look nice, I’m sure they are very traditional and suit older people’s taste.
2 c)
He chooses restaurant C because it is modern, stylish, popular with young people, has fast service and a lively atmosphere. He rejects the other two restaurants because they look nice, but are too traditional and better suited to older people.
3 a)
1 — B
2 — D
3 — B
4 — C
5 — C
3 b)
1. The correct answer is B because the script says: “Nights in summer are always hot, too.”
2. The other options are wrong because the text does not say that daytime temperatures are over 35°C all the time, and it does not mention rain in this sentence.
3. Synonyms: never cold at night — nights in summer are always hot; temperatures are usually over 35°C — the temperature during the day is usually around 35°C; often rains — very few showers.
4 b)
Dear Paul,
Hi! How are you? Let me tell you about summer in my country.
In summer, the weather is usually hot and sunny, but sometimes it rains. People like going to the beach, swimming, and spending time with friends and family. I like summer because I can relax, play outside, and enjoy long days.
What is the weather like in your country in summer? Write back soon.
Best wishes,
Alex
