1. Read the text and mark the following statements  “True “or “False”

 

The little girl lived in a small simple house. Across the valley there was a wonderful house high on the hill – and this house had golden windows, so the little girl wished to grow up and live in a house with golden windows instead of an ordinary house like hers.

And although she loved her parents and her family, she wished to live in such a golden house.

When she got to an age when she gained enough skill and sensibility to go outside her garden fence, she asked her mother if she could go for a bike ride outside the gate. The little girl knew exactly where she was heading! Down the lane and across the valley, she rode her bike until she got to the gate of the golden house across on the other hill. The girl focused on the path that lead to the house and then on the house itself… and was so disappointed as she realized all the windows were plain and rather dirty, reflecting nothing other than  the sad neglect of the house that stood empty.

So sad she didn’t go any further. As she glanced up she saw a sight to amaze her: there across the way on her side of the valley was a little house and its windows glistened golden as the sun shone on her little home.

She realized that she had been living in her golden house and all the love and care she found there was what made her home the “golden house”. Everything she dreamed was right there in front of the nose.

Варіант ІI

 

1. Read the text and mark the following statements  “True “or “False”

 

My name is Philip and I’m going to tell you a few things about my job. I’m an American tour guide and I spend most of my time taking groups of American tourists around Europe: England and Italy mostly, but sometimes France and Germany, too.

Before starting, I’d done a two-week European trip as a tourist, then I worked in a travel agency in Chicago, and also worked for a holiday company in Turkey.

However, I still had to go through a complicated procedure before getting this job.

First,  you must fill in the application form and answer all sorts of questions. Next, you have a formal interview and then you have to stand up in front of a group of people and give a talk. They want to see how you can perform in a real situation, because it s no good being shy or too timid.

There’s a lot of competition for these jobs because they give you a chance to travel and meet lots of new people. But to be a good travel guide, you’ve got to have a genuine interest not only in the travel, but also in the people. The tours can be rather long, and you’re with the same fifty people all the time. You’re never really off duty because you’re responsible for making sure all the arrangements go well and for keeping everyone happy.
