friends who also enjoy reading.

Exercise 3: Read the letter from Rachel to her pen friend Susie. Then complete the
exercise.
Dear Susie,
Thank you for your letter. I’m writing to tell you about the sports I enjoy doing. I like playing
tennis and swimming, but my favorite sport is cycling. I got my first bike when I was 8, and I
started cycling to school with my sister, Helen, when I was 12. Now my sister goes to a
different school, so I ride to school with my friend Laura. At the weekend, I often go cycling
in the countryside with my parents and Helen. We cycle all day and take a picnic for lunch.
We go cycling in winter and summer, but I prefer cycling in winter because the countryside
looks pretty. I like taking photos on my phone of the trees and animals.
I also go on cycling holidays with my family. We usually go to the north of England, but last
summer, we went to the mountains in the south of Spain. We all enjoyed cycling in the day
and going to restaurants in the evenings. It was sometimes difficult to cycle in Spain. It was
not difficult to cycle in the mountains because we had mountain bikes, but the weather was
very hot, so we got quite tired. I would like to go cycling in Spain again next summer, but my
parents want to go cycling in Scotland.
I also cycle for my school team. My friend Laura joined the team two years ago, and I joined
last year. We race against cyclists from other schools. Last year, I won second prize in the 10
km race. I was really happy, but next year I will try to win first prize.

Exercise 5: Read an article about a teenager’s hobby. Then choose the correct answer,
True or False.
Adam Jones has an unusual hobby for a 15-year-old boy. Most of his friends like to spend
their time playing sports like football and basketball or playing computer games, but Adam
prefers to cook. Adam first became interested in food from watching cookery programs on
television, but he learned how to cook from his father who was a chef in a local Italian
restaurant. His father says that Adam is now the best cook in the family. In the past, Adam’s
father did all the cooking for the family, but now Adam cooks most of the family meals. His
parents love Adam’s cooking, and even his younger sister Sarah eats most of the food he
UNIT 3-STUDENT 11
IELTS
cooks.
Adam likes cooking food from all over the world, but especially Italian, Indian and Thai food.
Last year, he went on holiday to India and Thailand with his family, and he enjoyed trying all
of the different dishes. Next year, he is going to travel to China and learn how to cook Chinese
food. Adam also likes computers and has his own website called ‘Cook with Adam’. He first
made the website as part of a school project, but now he uses it to tell people about his
cooking and to teach young people how to cook. It has easy food recipes, photos of his food
and videos to show people how to cook his favorite meals. The website is very popular with
young people, and Adam hopes that it will make them more interested in learning to cook. His
father now has his own restaurant, and Adam has a part-time job as a chef there. When people
go to the restaurant, they are often surprised that the chef is so young. Adam’s father is happy
for him to work there, but only at the weekends because he doesn’t want him to be too tired for
school.
Adam recently won the first prize in a cooking competition for young people in the UK. He
made a chicken curry with rice and vegetables and a chocolate and raspberry dessert. He was
very surprised to be in the final part of the competition, and he couldn’t believe it when he
won first prize. He won £500 and a cooking lesson with a famous TV chef. Adam’s whole
family were very happy that he won the competition, especially his father. After the
competition, he appeared on a television news show and a cookery show. In the future, Adam
wants to move to London and work as a chef at a top restaurant. He would also like to have his
own cookery show on TV and to travel around the world and learn how to cook food from
many different countries.

Dear Rachel,
Thank you for your letter. I also enjoy sports. I like playing basketball and swimming, but my
UNIT 3-STUDENT 13
IELTS
favorite sport is football. I like football, because it is an exciting game, and it is a good way to
stay healthy. I started playing football when I was 9. In the summer, I often go to a football
summer camp. The summer camp is in the countryside, about two hours from my city, Los
Angeles. It is near a big forest. We do football training in the mornings and play matches in
the evenings. In the afternoons, we do other sports like swimming, walking and cycling. We
work hard, but we have a lot of fun too.
I also play for a football team. I joined the school team when I was 12. We do football training
twice a week, and we usually play a match on Saturdays with other school teams. I always feel
tired after matches, so I go to bed early! Sometimes we play on the football field at our school,
and sometimes we travel to other schools by bus and play there. Every year, our school enters
a football competition with schools all over California. Last year, our team won the
competition, so we were all really happy, and we had a special dinner at a restaurant to
celebrate. Next year, I want to join another girl’s football team in Los Angeles. It is a strong
team with lots of good players, so it’s difficult to get onto the team. I need to do a lot of
training this summer!
Exercise 9: Read part of the letter. Then match the information with paragraph A or B.

Susan: Hi Peter!
Peter: Hi Susan! How are you?
Susan: I’m fine, thanks. And how are you? How’s your holiday?
Peter: It’s fantastic. I’m having a wonderful time! I’m staying with my friends at a guest house – it’s
close to the activity center and it’s cheaper than a hotel. It’s comfortable, but the food’s not very good!
But the staff are very friendly!
Susan: And what about the activities?
Peter: Every morning, we get up early and we usually go to the center. John and Steven are there now.
They’re swimming. And Martin’s in the kitchen, having fun, cooking with the chef, they’re preparing a
picnic because we’re going hiking later. At the moment, I’m resting because I’m exhausted.
Susan: Why are you so tired?
Peter: There are so many activities and I’m doing lots of them, I’m sleeping ten hours a night but the
activities are hard work and I’m not really fit! I’m sailing, I’m canoeing …
Susan: So the center is close to the sea?
Peter: It’s not close to the sea, but there’s a lake nearby, where we go sailing and canoeing, and there’s a
big river about twenty kilometers away where we go white water rafting.
Susan: White water rafting! Are you going white water rafting?
Peter: Well, we’ve been once. It’s scary, but we enjoyed it. We’re going again tomorrow.
Susan: And what other things are there?
Peter: There’s cycling too, but we’re not going cycling; we like it, but we can do it at home. But there’s
mountain climbing and we definitely want to do that.
Susan: Isn’t that dangerous?
Peter: Yes, but the guides look after us really well. And what are you doing, Susan?
Susan: I’m studying as usual, and this afternoon I’m going shopping with Mary and Patricia.
Peter: Shopping!?! That’s so boring …
Susan: Maybe for you, but I love it …
