GIVING ADVICE
READING : MANDI’S PROBLEM
My name's Mandi. Three months
ago, I went to a disco where 1 met a
boy called Tom. I guessed he was
older than me, but I liked him and
thought it didn't matter. We danced a
couple of times, then we chatted. He
said he was 18, then asked how old I was. I told him I
was 16. 1 thought that if I told him my real age, he
wouldn't want to know me, as I'm only 13.
After the disco we arranged to meet the following weekend. The next Saturday
we went for a burger and had a real laugh. Afterwards he walked me to my
street and kissed me goodnight. Things went really well. We see each other a
couple of times a week, but I've had to lie to my parents about where I'm going
and who with. I've always got on with them, but I know that if they found out how
old Tom was they'd stop me seeing him.

we go out, and Tom keeps asking why he can't come round to my house. I'm

5 Which of these answers did Mandi receive?

You must start by being honest with everyone.

Centro de Educación Alternativa Forjando Valores

Visiting London with children? Here's a guide to some attractions for younger tourists.
The Barbican Centre has its annual children's festival, Summer in the City, on 1—5 August. Each day's timetable is handed out as you enter. It may include magic shows, face painting, hat making and music. One ticket (£4.50 for children, £1 for adults, and no children or adults allowed on their own) buys a full day's activity so you can have a go at everything.
At the South Bank Centre young dancers can join in Sleeping Beauty workshops with the English National Ballet on 3 August. On 4 August Peter Badejo encourages all comers to join in African dance and there's outdoor dance, theatre and music for all the family on the terraces around the Centre at weekends. For example, on 21 August the Teatro Buendia from Cuba will present a show for children of all ages called An Elephant Takes Too Much Room.
At London Zoo there is a special exhibition about animals which have disappeared as well as animals in danger of disappearing. There are life-size moving models of dinosaurs, but you can also see living examples of endangered species such as tigers and bird-eating spiders. While you may not want to get too near these, there are plenty of friendly animals in the new Children's Zoo which will be happy to let you get close to them.
The Tower Hill Pageant is a dark ride museum showing the history of the City of London. Outside, the Town Crier calls visitors to Coin Striking when children can beat out copies of old coins in metal using traditional methods. Musicians and street performers will also be appearing throughout the summer.
The Museum of the Moving Image is about the cinema. its guides are actors dressed as cowboys and film stars. You can learn about film-making in special classes and there is a special exhibition at eye-level for very young children under one metre tall.
If adults are ready for a rest why not book Sunday lunch at the Russell Hotel? The Jumping Jelly Bean Club offers an exercise class (with qualified instructors) for children while you have a drink. Sit down to lunch together (£14.25 for adults, £3.95 for the children's menu), then while you have your coffee, the jumping Jelly Beaners watch children's films. The Club is held every Sunday lunchtime and it's free to children with families eating in the hotel.

your `SKY card (see Fitness Machines), followed by a minimum of two further

fees, see Fitness Machines above.

READING COMPREHENSION : A GREAT ADVENTURE
A month ago I had no idea that on a Saturday afternoon in
November I'd be hanging 30 metres above the ground and
enjoying it. Now I looked down at the river far below me, and
realised why people love rock-climbing.
My friend Matt and I had arrived at the Activity Centre on
Centro de Educación Alternativa Forjando Valores
41
Friday evening. The accommodation wasn't wonderful, but we had everything
we needed (beds, blankets, food), and we were pleased to be out of the city
and in the fresh air.
On Saturday morning we met the other ten members of our group. Cameron
had come along with two friends, Kevin and Simon, while sisters Carole and
Lynn had come with Amanda. We had come from various places and none of
us knew the area.
We knew we were going to spend the weekend outdoors, but none of us was
sure exactly how. Half of us spent the morning caving while the others went
rock-climbing and then we changed at lunchtime. Matt and I went to the caves
first. Climbing out was harder than going in, but after a good deal of pushing, we
were out at last—covered in mud but pleased and excited by what we'd done

1.II GIST READING I know that it is my job to make sure that everything goes well for the tourists
and I feel I work hard for the company. I cannot be blamed for last week. I met
the group 25 at the airport and took them to the coach. The coach driver was a
bit annoyed because the flight was late. But it wasn't far to the hotel and
everyone was looking forward to their dinner. We hadn't used the Hotel Riviera
before but our normal one had a conference in it so was fully booked. When I
announced our arrival at the reception desk, they said they were full. I had
booked rooms for the group but the manager said they were cancelled by
phone a few days before. He insisted that he recognised my voice and that I
had made the phone call. We had a bit of an argument but they obviously didn't
have enough rooms. In the end the manager phoned other hotels in the town
Centro de Educación Alternativa Forjando Valores
43
and found rooms for everyone but in four different hotels. By this time the coach
had gone so we had to get taxis and some of the tourists started to get very
angry with me. I still don't know who made that phone call but it definitely wasn't
me.
Read the text and then look at the questions.
1 What is the writer trying to do?
argue
apologise
explain
complain
2 Who was the text written to?
one of the tourists
the writer's employer
the hotel manager
the coach company
3 Why weren't any room available at the Hotel Riviera?
A conference was taking place there.
There were more people in the group than expected.
Someone had forgotten to book them.
Someone had said they were not needed.
4 What happened in the end?
The tourists got angry with the local manager.
The tourists couldn't stay together.
The writer found other hotels with rooms.
The writer called the coach driver back.
5 Which of the following diaries was written by one of the tourists?
Someone had made a mistake with our hotel booking and the hotel had given our rooms to other people.
The hotel we were taken to wasn't good enough so we asked to change to a different one.
We got to the airport and had to wait for the coach. So it was really late when we got to the hotel.

pot inside. "That's not mine," said Ali. "Yes, it
is," said Nasreddin. "While your pot was

that he would once again receive two pots in return. However, days passed and
Nasreddin had still not returned the pot. Finally Ali lost patience and went to
demand his property. "I am sorry," said Nasreddin. "I can't give you back your
pot, since it has died." "Died!" screamed Ali, "how can a pot die?" "Well," said

back to the shopkeeper. Then he tried a robe which had the same
price as the trousers. Nasreddin was pleased with the robe, and he
left the shop. Before he climbed on his donkey to ride home, the
shopkeeper and the shop-assistant ran out.
"You didn't pay for the robe!" said the shopkeeper.
"But I gave you the trousers in exchange for the robe, didn't I?"
replied Nasreddin.
"Yes, but you didn't pay for the trousers, either!" said the
