II. Read the text, choose True or False. And give reasons for any false answers

Toby:

My favourite place is Hong Kong. I love it. It’s so beautiful- it’s on the sea, with mountains all round and it’s full of shops and high buildings.

Hong Kong never sleeps-it’s always busy and crowded. Some people don’t like that but I do. It means you can always do things and meet people. And at weekends you can go to the mountains and visit the country parks or the beaches on the small islands. Hong Kong is great – a big, fast city and lovely, quiet country… but it’s very hot.

Miltra:

The place I like most is New Zealand – it really is beautiful. It’s very green, has lots of mountains and snow and beaches, and the weather is good too. The people are friendly and the country isn’t crowded. That’s what I like- lots of big empty spaces. You can eat lots of fish and meat in New Zealand. And there is so much to do there. You can go sailing, walking, skiing, surfing, and swimming – all in one day if you want. And the wild animals are fantastic, especially the sea animals like whales.

Hi Mike!

I’ve just had the most fantastic experience of my life. We went to Lapland! It was a school trip (one week instead of school) and it was fantastic. We went reindeer spotting with a Sami guide. He took us into the tundra where we walked for ages in the freezing cold, but suddenly in the middle of all the empty snow, we saw a huge herd of reindeer.

We visited a Sami camp too. We saw people making knives and leather clothes and houses- all from reindeer. Their houses seemed really warm and comfortable. We also went on a sled ride with husky dogs with a driver. We went fast and it was so exciting, and guess what - we found Father Christmas. He was hiding behind a tree (only joking)

One afternoon we drove north and stayed there deep in the Arctic Circle. We saw the most amazing Northern Lights. They were fantastic, stunning. You see so many colors dancing around the sky.

But I think the best thing was we stayed in an Ice hotel. You sleep on ice beds, you sit on ice chairs. Ok. Don’t worry – the hotel was warm -5.

This was absolutely the best trip I’ve ever been on. Go there too – you really must.

Love Hannah

Modern Technology has had a tremendous effect on the lives of people and their entertainment habits. Today, the Internet has undergone a phenomenal global growth. It has become such an important data-gathering and communication source that few can't afford to ignore. The Net encircles the globe. Young people spend a lot of time on their computers because it’s exciting and they have found in the Net new ways of meeting a basic human need: the desire to communicate with other people. E-mail sends electronic messages from one person to another – like letters, but capable of crossing the Atlantic in 15m. File transfers move bulk data from one computer to another with these capacities, the Internet becomes post office, printing press and meeting-place all in one. Some people are making a fortune in cyberspace. Most companies have their own websites; others exist only on the Internet. They are something called “dot com” companies. Some of the most successful Net entrepreneurs are teenagers who are still at school. They are called internet nerds. Tom Hadfield, 16, started a football results website called soccer-net and it became a great business. To become a successful entrepreneur all you need is: to start a webpage of your own, have a good idea for a business, think of a catchy name and find someone to lend you money. And remember! English is the most used business language!
