D. Reading
Birthdays are special occasions, on these days, people usually give presents and
prepare surprise parties for friends and family members. In my case, I have to organize
a surprise party for John, Beth and Luke (three of my best friends). The organization is
not complicated because they all want to dance, for that, I have to find an appropriate
 place. About the presents, John wants a new phone; that’s no problem. Beth wants a
plaid dress, and Luke wants a new bike to exercise.

Match the words from the reading with their meaning.

____Usually 1) Not expected
____Find 2) Adequate
____Complicated 3) frequently
____Appropriate 4) Encounter
____Surprise 5) Not easy
