6. Make up dialogues. Use 10 words from Vocabulary. Revision 1-2

1. Choose the most suitable heading a-g for each article 1-6. Make one special question to each article:

A. Certain expectations of blacks.

B. The most famous games.

C. A modest football star.

D. Constant trainings.

E. I like to help animals.

F. How should the vet look like?

G. A foreign hairdresser.

1. When I started running seven years ago, I could manage only about a quarter of mile before I had to stop. Breathless and aching, I walked the next quarter of mile then I jogged the next quarter of mile, alternating these two activities for a couple of miles. Within a few weeks I could jog half way round Hampstead health without stopping. Soon I started to run up the quarter-mile slope to the top of Parliament Hill.

2. When we consider the size and the spectacle of the modern Olympic games, it is difficult to remember that they started in Olympia in Greece in 777 BC with only one race, a sprint, for which the prize for the winner was an olive wreath. Nowadays, major cities complete to host the Olympic Games.

3. I would like to name Gary Lineker as Sports Personality of the Year. I think he is not only a footballer, he is also a very nice person and very different from other football stars. First of all, in spite of being talented and good-looking, he is actually modest. Even though he obviously earns a lot of money, he doesn’t throw his money around like others do.

4. At first people don't believe me when I say that I'm a secretary because secretaries just don't look like me. You know - young black men. They have certain expectations of black people and they expect me to have lot's of kids play in a reggae band and live in a high-rise flat in the east end of London. In fact my boss is a woman - that's something else some of my friends find hard to understand.

5. People are often surprised to hear that I'm a hairdresser. I suppose it's partly because there are hardly any Taiwanese woman hairdressers in London. In fact, I've been a hairdresser for often fifteen years, now I work three days a week. It would be difficult to go back to Taiwan because we've been living in Britain too ling and have friends here.

6. People often raise their eyebrows when I say I'm a vet and at first they wonder if I'm capable of doing the job properly. Most people's idea of a stereotypical vet is a clean-cut young man in white coat. I've had my nose pierced in the past, and I used to colour my hair.

2. Complete the sentences with these words: fond of, pick up, take after, look forward, run out of, accent, mother tongue, look after, take to, slang:

  1. She never studied French but she managed to … it … by living in France.

  2. I can't … my mother-in-law, I think she also hates me.

  3. Although she was speaking English, her … was so strong that we could hardly understand her.

  4. You can borrow my book provided you … it.

  5. Russian is your first language. We call it …

  6. You really … your father. He was also a brilliant person.

  7. My sister uses a lot of … Sometimes I don't even understand her.

  8. I want to watch this match. I am … boxing.

  9. I've just finished packing. I'm really … to this trip.

  10. We had to come back from holiday early because we … money.
