Exercise 2 You may know that Asian, Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cultures have (1TRADITION) used garlic m their dishes. What you may not know is that garlic was also thought of as a (2- VALUE) medicine by many ancient civilisations. Today, (3-PROFESSION)_ in the field of nutrition have come up with new (4- INFORM) which is indeed quite suiprising. Apparently, not only is garlic good for you but it also helps overcome various (5- ILL) The main (6- ADVANTAGE) to eating garlic is of course bad (7BREATH) _ Cooking it reduces the strong smell and eating parsley, which is a(8NATURE) deodoriser, also helps minimise the smell. So. it's time we took the benefits of garlic (9- SERIOUS) . Why not add it to some of your (10FAVOUR) dishes! Exercise 3 Being a (1- JOURNAL) , I often have to go on strange assignments. So when my editor told me to do a story on one of the (2- FAME) health spas in Switzerland, I was only too happy to go and take it easy for a week or two. However, when I got there and saw the programme, I began to panic. I had to go on a diet and participate in a (3- VARY) of exercise classes. My (4- ANGRY) turned to rage when they insisted ! go to bed very early so as to get up at 6:00 a. m. and_eat breakfast in a (5- BUILD) which looked hke a greenhouse. I must admit that they ran an excellent (6- ORGANIZE) Anyway, you can imagine how happy I was to see my familiar (7- NEIGHBOUR) when I finally arrived home. A few months later, I received an (8- INVITE) from the same clinic for a week's worth of free treatment. My family thought I t rather (9- AMUSE) when they saw the (10- FRIGHT) look on my face. Exercise 4 My father was a police ( 1 - INSPECT) , my mother a (2- TEACH) • Their (3- DECIDE) to move to a small town when I was a child changed my life. It was a very (4- PEACE) place and of course living there meant that I had much more (5- FREE) to go wherever I pleased. The people were (6- FRIEND) but 1 missed my close friends, my school and the (7- NOISE) city I had lived in. As I grew up, I realized that there wasn't 24 much for a young person to do there, except rush into (8- MARRY) Dragons played a (2-WONDER) game and earned everyone's (3ADMIRE) Their (4- COMBINE) of tactics and strength definitely helped them win. Due to the continuous (5- DEVELOP) of new strategies by their coach, this will be the (6- FIVE) year in a row that the Dragons will play in the final. Their (7- POPULAR) has increased over the years and there is no doubt that Hillbell Stadium will be (8- CROWD) with (9- ENTHUSE) fans on the day of the final.

Are ads realh (6- USl-) V Are they (7- TRUE) ? Do they give us a (8- Rl-AL) idea of the product? People are rarely in (9- AGREE) on any of these questions, but the fact is that ads are (10- HELP) in letting people know the wide variety of goods available. Exercise 8 There has been a significant (1- REDUCE) in police popularity in the last few years. That's why this week a public relation campaign is being launched to make people more (2- SENSE) to the role of the police officer. The adds will stress that police do more than just give (3- MOTOR) speeding tickets. They often act as unofficial social workers, visit schools and talk to students, familiarising them with traffic signs and warning them of (4- VARY) dangers. Being a police officer is (5- RISK) . considering that every day they deal with (6- CRIME) such as thieves and even (7- MURDER) _ In (8- CONCLUDE) , the campaign wants to make the public realise that even though in some cases the police's approach may seem extreme, they cannot ignore the (9- POSSIBLE) of injury or even (10- DIE) while on duty. 25 Exercise 9 and we have failed. Even though I've had many years of experience, I ' m always (9- TERROR) and (10- NERVE) before going on stage. But once I start performing, I quickly lose myself in the play.

Young people like me, need a place to go and talk. We usually talk about our interests and hobbies, mine being (7-PHOTO) _ Our behavior is typical of many teenagers, I suppose. However, my parents think I go out too often. Luckily though, after many (8ARGUE) they have begun to accept my (9- EXPLAIN) that young people need to find ways to relieve their (10- BORE) , especially i f they live in a small town like I do. Exercise 11 Aften 1948, the Hollywood studios, where films for the cinema were produced, faced a new kind of competition. The ( 1 - ARRIVE) of television. At first, Hollywood didn't work. After all, John Baird's (2- INVENT) could only produce small black and white pictures. However, they were mistaken. To the (3ASTONISH) of the Hollywood studios, by the early 1950's (4- WEEK) attendance at cinemas had dropped by fifty percent. Television today has become part of everyday life. These boxes give (5- END) hours of (6PLEASE) to millions of people. It is also an (7- ECONOMY) form of entertainment. However, TV can also be (8- HARM) and not only for the eyes. For instance, programmes contain scenes of (9- VIOLENT) can influence children's (10- BEHAVE) negatively. Who would have thought that television would influence our lives so much?
