English course in my town. They also promised me if my scores in English are good, they'll send me to a foreign
university. Great, isn't it? I'll work hard. I want to be a great pediatrician like you, Aunty.

Well, that's all for now. Looking forward to having your news.

My favorite thing is aquarium. It is a place in which aquatic plants and animals, particularly fish, are
kept. The term is applied to single tanks for home use in which fish are kept for their decorative effect and
interesting habits and to public institutions with tanks for exhibition and scientific study of aquatic life.
I make home aquariums to simulate a natural environment. Aquatic plants supply the oxygen needed by the
fish, but often an aerating device is used to furnish additional oxygen. Goldfish enjoy cool water, but the
popular tropical fish must have water at a constant temperature of 22°C (72°F) or more. I must keep the water

holding two or three pets to huge tanks.

Yesterday night was the night of the fair, the following day was holiday. The children at Tim's school

come. He couldn't wait for six o'clock when the fair would begin. He had been saving his pocket money for
weeks.
When Tim and his family arrived at the fair, it had just opened. Already there were crowds of people swarming
around food stalls, displays and dozens of rides. "Can I buy some chips and a drink?" asked Tim.

This text is for questions 40 to 43
Biodiesel is a clean burning substitute for petroleum based diesel fuel. Biodiesel is made of vegetable oil.
To make or manufacture Biodiesel, you must first start with raw materials. The raw materials needed in the
production of Biodiesel are a small amount of methanol and a ready supply of vegetable product. One of the
most common vegetables used in the production of Biodiesel is corn, although depending on the geographic
location of the manufacturing facility many other plants are used as well (rapeseed, soybeans, flaxseed, etc.).
The first step is to use the raw vegetable product to make vegetable oil. Vegetable oil by itself will not be what
you need to power a car, from here it has to be processed into Biodiesel.
The process for converting vegetable oil into Biodiesel is sometimes called ester interchange. To complete this
process the vegetable oil has to be combined with a smaller amount of methanol and then put in the presence of
a small quantity of an alkaline catalyst (for example, 5% to 1% sodium hydroxide). Vegetable oil is made up of
so-called triglycerides, which is a compound of the trivalent alcohol glycerin with three fatty acids. The goal of
ester interchange is to separate the glycerin molecule from the three fatty acids and replace it with three
methanol molecules. This process then yields roughly 90% Biodiesel and 10% of a glycerin byproduct. The
glycerin byproduct can be used in a number of other chemical processes for different industries.

The following text is for questions 44 to 47

Human body is made up of countless millions of cells. Food is needed to build up new cells and replace the
worn out cells. However, the food that we take must be changed into substances that can be carried in the blood
to the places where they are needed. This process is called digestion.
The first digestive process takes place in the mouth. The food we eat is broken up into small pieces by the
action of teeth, mixed with saliva, a juice secreted by glands in the mouth. Saliva contains digestive juice which
moisten the food, so it can be swallowed easily.
From the mouth, food passes through the esophagus (the food passage) into the stomach. Here, the food is
mixed with the juices secreted by the cells in the stomach for several hours. Then the food enters the small
intestine. All the time the muscular walls of the intestine are squeezing, mixing and moving the food onwards.
In a few hours, the food changes into acids. These are soon absorbed by the villi (microscopic branch
projections from the intestine walls) and passed into the bloodstream.

Everybody should change their way of life to reduce global warming. There are several things that we can do.
One of them is by buying and consuming fresh local groceries as much as possible. It of course includes local
vegetables, fruits, bread, etc.
Local groceries don’t need much transportation to get it into the market. It of course means, the amount of
carbon dioxide produced is less than the groceries from other region. Therefore, by buying local groceries we
are helping reduce the amount of carbon dioxide produced.
Consuming fresh groceries instead of frozen ones are healthier for us. Furthermore, fresh food or groceries
means no requirements for it to be freeze up. It means that no electricity is needed and saving energy means
reducing carbon dioxide and save money.
So, from now on we should consume fresh local groceries to reduce global warming.
