Passage 1 : My mom grew up in the 1970’s.Hi, I'm Jill. I want to tell you about my mom. She was born in 1962, and she grew up in the 1970’s, in a small Italian neighborhood in New York City. Sometimes she tells
me about her life growing up, and about how different things were then.
First of all, she didn’t have a computer. Most people didn ’ t have computers until the 1980s. My mom took many literature classes in high school, and she wrote most of her school papers by hand! I'm so glad I
have a computer! I write all my papers with it.
Another interesting thing - my m o m speaks French really w e l l . French was the number one language to study at her high school in the 1970s, and Spanish was number three or four. That surprised
me. French is OK, but for most of my friends, Spanish is really popular, because there are lots of Spanish speakers in the United States now.
Things l o o k e d r e a l l y d i f f e r e n t t h e n too. In my mom's old photos, all of her friends had long hair - the guys, too - and it usually looked messy. Plus, a l l of the clothes h a d flowers o n them. and the
colors d i d n ’ t matc h. I love my mom, but I'm really happy I grew up in the 1990s.

Passage 3
This following neatly summarizes some of our most pressing environmental concerns ... some of which cannot be solved simply via creative up recycling or small-space
living.
1. Greenhouse Effect
Global warming has been concerning scientists for decades, most of them agree that the greenhouse effect will add between 1,5 to 4 degrees to the Earth's temperature by
2030. This will change the weather everywhere. For example, the ice at the North and South Poles will start to melt. And when that happens, the level of the sea will rise
and there will be serious floods in many countries. Scientists agree that humans are influencing climate change with our production of greenhouse gases (mainly
stemming from carbon dioxide and methane). These gases are produced by the burning of fossil fuels (coal, gas, oil) by destroying the rainforests, or by using fertilizers.
They are commonly found in aerosols, refrigerators and plastic boxes.
2. Energy
Energy is second only to climate change in significance, but t h e p i c t u r e isn't as clear as one might think. Modern human life depends greatly on e n e r g y . At the
m o m e n t , 94% of the w o r l d ’ s energy comes from fossil fuels, which are now becoming scarce. There is only e n o u g h c o a l for the next 3 0 0 years and only
enough gas for the next 50. We need to find quicker, safer, and cheaper ways of meeting our energy requirements. One way is e n e r g y conservation. This means
using energy more efficiently. The other way is the use o f renewable e n e r g y s o u r c e s , this means energy form the Sun, sea, wind, and under the ground.
3. Acid Rain
One of the world's most serious pollution problems is acid rain. What happens is this: First: factories, -motor vehicles and c o a l b u r n i n g plants s e n d g a s e s and
chemicals into the air. There, they mix with water and form clouds. After that, the w i n d carries these clouds for h u n d r e d s or even thousands of kilometers.
Finally, the m i x t u r e of water and chemicals falls back to the air in acidified rain. This "acid rain" kills fish and trees. It slowly destroy buildings too.
Pure Water is in short supply. Our global reserves of drinkable water are a fraction of 1% and 1 in 5 humans does not have access to potable (safe) water. Many people
do not r e a l i z e that strife has already 'broken out in some stressed regions. There are many potential solutions, some promising, others challenging. Desalinization is an
energy-inefficient, expensive option. But there are many things you can do. (Hint: it starts with turning off the f a u c e t when you brush.)

My name is Peter Johnson a n d my father is a great cook. He has his own recipes from when he used to cook in a bar he managed w i t h my mother. He just throws ingredients together, s e e s how it turns out,
and it's usually delicious. We often cook together a n d he is very encouraging. I tend to make things up too, but I use recipe books for dishes I have not tried before.
I love the process o f cooking. It is great fun and helps you to relax. And I like the sociable a s p e c t s of cooking for other people. Last year my cooking i m p r o v e d e n o r m o u s l y because I lived in an apartment with
six other students. I cooked every day -lunch and dinner- and everyone e l s e ate it. Our favorite meal was fresh tuna, with chilly and coconut s a u c e . We had that a lot.
I plan to become a chef and then open my own place. I would like to open a cafe like one I used to visit I Switzerland, the country where I came from. Next year, I am getting an apartment with a friend who likes
cooking, too, so we will have to choose our kitchen carefully.

Passage 3
This following neatly summarizes some of our most pressing environmental concerns ... some of which cannot be solved simply via creative up recycling or small-space
living.
1. Greenhouse Effect
Global warming has been concerning scientists for decades, most of them agree that the greenhouse effect will add between 1,5 to 4 degrees to the Earth's temperature by
2030. This will change the weather everywhere. For example, the ice at the North and South Poles will start to melt. And when that happens, the level of the sea will rise
and there will be serious floods in many countries. Scientists agree that humans are influencing climate change with our production of greenhouse gases (mainly
stemming from carbon dioxide and methane). These gases are produced by the burning of fossil fuels (coal, gas, oil) by destroying the rainforests, or by using fertilizers.
They are commonly found in aerosols, refrigerators and plastic boxes.
2. Energy
Energy is second only to climate change in significance, but t h e p i c t u r e isn't as clear as one might think. Modern human life depends greatly on e n e r g y . At the
m o m e n t , 94% of the w o r l d ’ s energy comes from fossil fuels, which are now becoming scarce. There is only e n o u g h c o a l for the next 3 0 0 years and only
enough gas for the next 50. We need to find quicker, safer, and cheaper ways of meeting our energy requirements. One way is e n e r g y conservation. This means
using energy more efficiently. The other way is the use o f renewable e n e r g y s o u r c e s , this means energy form the Sun, sea, wind, and under the ground.
3. Acid Rain
One of the world's most serious pollution problems is acid rain. What happens is this: First: factories, -motor vehicles and c o a l b u r n i n g plants s e n d g a s e s and
chemicals into the air. There, they mix with water and form clouds. After that, the w i n d carries these clouds for h u n d r e d s or even thousands of kilometers.
Finally, the m i x t u r e of water and chemicals falls back to the air in acidified rain. This "acid rain" kills fish and trees. It slowly destroy buildings too.
Pure Water is in short supply. Our global reserves of drinkable water are a fraction of 1% and 1 in 5 humans does not have access to potable (safe) water. Many people
do not r e a l i z e that strife has already 'broken out in some stressed regions. There are many potential solutions, some promising, others challenging. Desalinization is an
energy-inefficient, expensive option. But there are many things you can do. (Hint: it starts with turning off the f a u c e t when you brush.)

First of all, she didn’t have a computer. Most people didn’t have computers until the 1980s. My mom took many literature classes in high school, and she wrote most of her school papers
by hand! I'm so glad I have a computer! I write all my papers with it.
Things looked really different then too. In my mom's old photos, all of her friends had long hair, the guys too, and it usually looked messy. Plus, all of the clothes had flowers on them and the
colors didn’t match. I love my mom, but I'm really happy I grew up in the 1990s.
Another interesting thing - my m o m speaks French really w e l l . French was the number one language to study at her high school in the 1970s, and Spanish was number three
or four. That surprised me. French is OK, but for most of my friends, Spanish is really popular, because there are lots of Spanish speakers in the United States now.

Passage 2.
My name is Peter Johnson a n d my father is a great cook. He has his own recipes from when he used to cook in a bar he managed w i t h my mother. He just throws ingredients together, s e e s how it turns out,
and it's usually delicious. We often cook together a n d he is very encouraging. I tend to make things up too, but I use recipe books for dishes I have not tried before.
I love the process o f cooking. It is great fun and helps you to relax. And I like the sociable a s p e c t s of cooking for other people. Last year my cooking i m p r o v e d e n o r m o u s l y because I lived in an apartment with
six other students. I cooked every day -lunch and dinner- and everyone e l s e ate it. Our favorite meal was fresh tuna, with chilly and coconut s a u c e . We had that a lot.
I plan to become a chef and then open my own place. I would like to open a cafe like one I used to visit I Switzerland, the country where I came from. Next year, I am getting an apartment with a friend who likes
cooking, too, so we will have to choose our kitchen carefully.
