English Formative Test

Read the texts carefully.

Michael: I like doing lots of different sports, but my favourite sport is

snooker. I’m representing my school in a national inter-school
championship. I have got a tournament in four weeks so I’m practising
every day at the moment. I want to be a professional snooker player, like
my father, and win a lot of championships and earn lots of money.

Steven: My favourite sport is swimming. Like at the moment,

I swim every day because I am learning to be a lifeguard. I get up
really early in the morning and I swim for one hour before going to
school. Swimming is a great exercise, it is good for your body and I
make lots of friends like Peter and Sarah, who are learning to be a
lifeguard like me.

Samantha: I love fishing. It is my favourite sport because I love the

outdoors. In between school terms I usually go fishing on Sundays. During the
summer holidays I go to my grandfather’s country house in Minnesota. The house is
near a lake and every day I go fishing with my family. We catch a lot of fish: the
small ones we set free, one or two of the bigger ones we cook them for lunch.

Directions:
The city of San Diego is located on the Pacific Coast of the United States, in Southern

California. San Diego is the closest California city to Mexico. San Diego comes from a Spanish
missionary background. But San Diego is no longer a sleepy mission town. The city is now
home to more than 2.7 million people, and it has become a major cultural centre, as well as
California's second-largest city.

Some popular attractions here are the famous Coronado Bay Bridge, the San Diego Zoo,

Balboa Park, and 70 miles of beautiful beaches. There are many beautiful museums to visit in
San Diego also. Do you enjoy art? How about machinery or sports? Do you like to see classic
cars or scientific discoveries? San Diego has a museum for everyone's tastes! Many of the
area's most popular museums are located in Balboa Park within walking distance of each
other, while others are located in nearby neighbourhoods.
