FINAL EXAM
1. READING COMPREHENSION (...../10)

Tina loves cooking. Shes reading a blog about food and travels.

Posted by Austin Cobb on Wednesday 10 November 2014

Hi! I m a travel writer and photographer.

I really like my job because it takes me all
over the world. I love visiting new places and
enjoying new food.
When I travel, my favourite meal is breakfast.
Different cultures choose different ways to
begin each day. There s a choice for every
taste rice and fish in Japan, coffee, toast
and croissants in Argentina or meat pie in Australia. I love the traditional English
breakfast. It consists of toast, eggs, tomatoes, bacon and sausages the most
varied choice to get energy and keep you going all day.
And then, after a hard s day work comes a relaxing dinner. I like eating out at
traditional restaurants where I can listen to local music and eat typical food. And
what can you have for dinner in countries around the world? In the last few years I
tried ravioli and lasagna in Italy, snail crepes in France and a few insects, like bugs
and ants in Africa and Asia. Sounds disgusting? Well, what you dont like is
delicious for someone else.

3. MULTIPLE CHOICE (. /10)

Tina wrote about her favourite restaurant on the blog.

I love Spanish food, so I 1. (always) (never) go to Manolos, the Spanish

restaurant down the road, when its my birthday. My family love the food at
Manolos. They make a special kind of paella from Valencia. Its made with 2.
(rice) (rices), vegetables and fish. I like the people who work there. Theyre very
friendly.
Two years 3. (ago) (last) I went to Spain on holiday and I think Manolos paella is
better than the ones I had in Spain.
The last time I went there was in June. My 4. (more old) (older) brother passed all
his exams so we went there to celebrate. Last summer my grandparents came to
visit 5. (from) (in) Brazil so we took them to Manolos. They only eat Brazilian
food, so they just ordered beans and rice because they loved it!
