Test 1. Unit 1. Lesson 1. Family and Friends
SEMESTER
TEST 1
My name is Nick. I'd like you to meet the best
friends of mine
- Brenda, Alex, Serge, Julia,
Linda and Rhone. They are really interesting. So
what are they like?
Brenda says: «I'm a very determined per-
son and I've got a pretty good idea about my
future, that's why I think it's very important to
study well».
Well, what will Alex say? Alex: «Perhaps l'm
a bit of an individualist, always doing what real-
ly interests me. I always try to find some excuse
not to go to parties and if I go I don't mix with
the crowd. I like to use the computer, but only
for work. I'm interested in lots of things and al-
ways want to learn something new»,
Now let's listen to Serge: «I'm an extrovert-
ed and happy person, that's why I have a lot
of friends. I love music with rhythms you can
dance to».
What about Julia? «Well, I think that in life
you've got to think about others, not only study
or have fun. I don't understand why my friends
do piercing or cut their hair into strange shapes
trying to show off their self-identity. For me,
what is really important is to give a hand to
those who need it. I like to care about others,
and I'm also rather reliable».
Well, Linda thinks she is trendy and stylish:
« like to look smart and attractive, so I enjoy
wearing elegant clothes. For me it's very
important to follow fashion. Maybe in future
I'll make a career as a fashion designer».
And now the last, but not the least
Rhone. «'m very energetic. I like sports and
Sames, I'm fond of the Internet, I help my dad-
dy in his work and mum with my little brother.
My parents say I'm rather ambitious
and
that may be true as I want to be successful
