Task. 1 Read the text about A Terrific cook. Mark the sentences TRUE or FALSE according to the context.
A TERRIFIC COOK
Do you see how slim I’m? It’s not on purpose and it’s not my nature either: there’s a good reason for me keeping in shape: Mom. She’s a disaster in the kitchen, and besides being unable to fry an egg properly, she always causes accidents. I can’t keep track of all the times the kitchen was on fire (4? 5?) because of something weird she decided to do despite of our advice to keep out of the kitchen – especially the stove.
She doesn’t pay attention to our advice and we have to eat what she prepares – or at least we eat what we can- so we live constantly on an undesired diet.
The last time she tried to prepare roast beef the result was a burning kitchen. Dad could barely save the family and extinguish the fire. When she goes to the kitchen we start fearing for our lives (and stomachs) and thinking of a sickness we’ll fake in order to avoid the “result”.
Despite the bad cook we have at home, our house is always full of guests for lunch and dinner. I suspect they come just to have fun watching the disasters. And – of course – they want to be the first to tell our friends what her latest calamity was like.

For me this is the world in which they live elves and medical fairies.In this world there is no evil?only good.I 'd like to see the world though the corner of my eye.Because it is so interesting!Adult fairies are working,doing good to people,and learn a little.After all,they are little fairies almost never can conjure.The elves live in trees and also help.Elves are like fairies,only they command the elements.Elves are very beautiful.They wear green jackets and black pants.They have funny pointed ears.Fairies wear cheerful dresses with floral pattern.Perhaps the elves and fairies live in our world,so if the good work,doing good deeds,you can see them in our lives.
1) When you take up the sport?2) Why do you prefer this kind of sport?And this text:Many are interested in one question. Is it good to be an only child?I think it is bad. I edenstvenny child. Our family has two children. I love my brother and I value them. I think if one child in a family, it can become selfish. He will get used to, that all goes to him and not have to share. This can badly affect on his future. If two or more children, toeto very well.So I think not only I, but many of my friends. All my friends have brothers or sisters. Sometimes they are jealous of their parents to siblings. This is often the cause of enmity. Others believe that the child in the family should be the one not to feel jealous.Each person chooses for himself, as he is better. I like having a big brother and sisters. This is very good!
