Although breakers may choose (1) perform to a variety of music, breakdancing is usually
performed along with hip hop. For breakdancing, the music is very important and allows dancers to show
their skills. The first battles were dance competitions between two b-boys or b-girls (2) usually
performed in the middle of a circle with people gathered around them. The winner was chosen based on skill
and creativity.

is usually the way in (3) breakers begin their routine. With downrock, the moves are performed
on the ground and the dancer uses hands, feet and sometimes knees. Power moves are more acrobatic, and
often very fast, whereas in freezes, breakers must stop moving completely and balance using their upper body.
Breakdancing is still very popular in the USA (4) it originated, but it has also become
popular in other countries. Now, b-boys and b-girls from all over the world who are interested (5)

Internet Pioneers
Nowadays, we are so connected to our smartphones, tablets and laptops, that it’s hard to imagine what life
was like before the Internet. In reality, however, the Internet is a fairly recent (00) B . Before the 1960s,
multiple computers couldn’t (1) together at the same time. In 1962, J.C.R. Licklider, a highly respected
scientist, suggested connecting computers to improve communications and share information. It was not
long before other networks were created (2) a variety of institutions to provide information sharing.
Still, at this point, different networks had no way of communicating with each other. In 1983, another
important step (3) when a new communications protocol was established called Transfer Control
Protocol / Internetwork Protocol (TCP/IP). This allowed different kinds of computers on different networks
to ‘talk’ to each other.
The next major (4) came in 1989 when Tim Berners-Lee created the hypertext transfer protocol or
HTTP, which gave different Internet platforms the ability to access the same site. Then, in 1990, he launched
the World Wide Web, with the first website: info.cern.ch. Since then, billions of websites (5) .

Plastic Recycling
The mass production of plastic began in the 1950s and since then, scientists believe that over 8.3 billion
metric tons of plastic have been produced. Of that, 6.3 billion metric tons, over 75%, have become plastic
waste. (00) Although recycling began in the 1970s, only 9% of plastic waste has been recycled.
This is considered to be such a big problem (1) scientists and governments are calling for
global efforts to solve it. Recycling plastic is a solution that offers two major benefits. Firstly, it reduces the
damage to the environment which is caused when new plastics are produced. Secondly, it helps reduce the
problem of rubbish dumps and the dangers to animals when plastic enters their habitats.
So, what is plastic recycling? Plastic recycling is the process by which different types of plastic materials are
turned into new, usable products. (2) order to be recycled, plastic needs to go through different
processing stages for collection, sorting, cleaning and compressing. The way that plastic is recycled depends
on its type, so plastic containers today have a recycling code on them (3) help this process.
There are so many different uses for recycled plastic (4) the possibilities seem endless. For example,
old plastic bottles can be made into T-shirts or sleeping bags, and other plastic soap containers can find a
new life as something else, like a plastic table. Despite the (5) that recycling can’t solve
all of the problems that have been caused by the production of plastic, scientists agree that it’s an important
step that can have a positive impact on the environment.

Staying informed
(00) Before I bought my first laptop, I had always relied on television to be informed. When I was a
child, I used to watch the news with my parents and I really enjoyed the stories about local heroes and
what they (1) done to help their community. (2) the time I was a teenager, I had
become very concerned about human rights. However, I noticed that such things were never talked about on
the news. I asked my parents about this, and they (3) me one hour wasn’t enough to cover the
day’s news stories.
Now that I’m an adult, I still watch the evening news on TV, but I also use social media. This way, I know
more about what is going on around the world. Also, I chat with people on the Internet because I like getting
different opinions on important issues. Just last night I was talking with some of my friends on a social media
site about next month’s presidential elections. I wanted (4) know who they thought would win.
After they had answered that question, I asked them to give me the reason for their choice. A lot of them
(5) that they had got their information from news stories on social media.
Although we must always be careful not to believe everything we read on the Internet, I believe that today
we’ve got more access to information than ever before, and it’s up to us to stay updated on important issues.
