1. __________ For me, every weekday begins the same: I get up at 7.00. I have breakfast, I take the bus to
school, I go to lessons ... I don’t hate this daily routine, but it isn’t very thrilling. In the evenings, however, I drive
Formula 1 cars, build enormous cities and defend my planet against aliens. In short, I play computer games. It’s
like entering a different world. That’s why I love playing them so much.
2. __________My interest in computer games has taught me a lot about computer graphics. I want to study
computing at college, and learn how to design and program games. Eventually, I’d like to start my own software
company, creating and testing new games. That way, I could spend all day doing what I love most.
3. ____________Computer games are interesting because they often contain stories and characters. The games
are getting better all the time, but they are also getting more expensive. The only thing I don’t like about my
hobby is the cost! New games are often about $50.
4. ____________ Some of my friends from school are interested in computer games too. We normally meet at
my house in the evenings and play for a few hours. We sometimes play at weekends, but if the weather’s good I
prefer to go cycling or play basketball instead.

cousin for the weekend. He had some games and he taught me how to play them. I became hooked immediately!
When I got home, I decided to save all my money for buying games. Now I’ve got about twenty different games.

IX/ Read the passage and do the exercises below: (3 marks)
A good memory is a great help in learning a language. Everybody learns his own language by remembering
what he hears when he is a small child, and some children like boys and girls who live abroad with their parents
seem to learn two languages almost as easily as one. In school, it isn't so easy to learn a second language because
the pupils have little time for it; and they are busy with other subjects as well.
The best way for most of us to remember things is to join them in our mind with something which we know
already or which we easily remember because we have a picture of it in our mind. That is why it is better to learn
words in sentences, not by themselves, or to see, or do, or feel what a word means when we first use it.
A) Choose the best answer: (2 marks)
1) What helps us a lot in learning a language?
a. time b. a good memory c. objects d. a second language
