TEST PAPER (12 Ia B)

A. Translate into Romanian: (4p x 5 correct translations = 20p)

1) Aries people have just been through a lot of trouble last week. Energetic as they are, they have great plans to
change their luck; or at least they hope so.
2) Taurus people will show one more time how obstinate they can act when they refuse a decent offer out of
which they could easily make 500 British pounds. And that’s a lot of money.
3) Virgo people will be in danger of losing some of their best friends if they go on being selfish. All they have to
do is give up their pride and let the others see how much they really care.
4) Sagittarius people, although quite nosy and talkative are good friends. The advice which they give proves to
be always useful, so their friends can rely on them.
5) Scorpios will have to put on lots of confidence in order to cope with the hard times they are going through. But
they do have very good friends and even though what they are looking for seems hard to find, they’ll find it
soon.
