Task 1. Read the texts and choose the best answer A, B, C or D.
A (Girl)
She lives next door and she’s always been really important in my life. When we were little and my mum was working she used to look after
us. She would tell us stories about her childhood. It was like listening to fairy stories; life was so different when she was a child. In her
kitchen she used to keep a special dish with sweets for us, and she was always baking cakes and pies. Now she doesn’t bake so much. She’s
started eating more healthily in her old age, salads and vegetables and things. It’s funny how she’s changed. She also goes to this special
gym class for old people, it’s amazing. I don’t see her so often now, but she’s always the same person however much her lifestyle changes.
B (Boy)
He’s four years older than me and that seemed like a huge amount when we were children. When we were at the same school we’d never
talk to each other during school hours. But now we’re older it’s a lot better, although I’ll always be the little one, and that’s annoying
sometimes. He’s taken me to rock concerts that I wouldn’t have gone to otherwise and when he was at university I went to stay with him
sometimes. That was really cool. It was great to see what real student life was like when I was still at school. Now that he’s working he’s
really busy, but we still hang out sometimes. We go to football matches together because we both support our home team. It’s always
good to see him.
C (Girl)
We’ve known each other since we were five and we’ve always got on really well. Well, apart from that time when we fell out because we
both liked the same boy. But he went off with Heather Jenkins, so we made friends again quite quickly! We both like the same kind of
music and going dancing at the weekend, and when we were younger we went out on our bikes together. At school we’re good at different
things. I’m good at languages and Laura’s good at Maths. That’s good though – it means that we can help each other with our homework.
Next year I’m probably going to study in London and she’s going to Manchester, but I’m sure our relationship won’t change.
D (Boy)
His family moved in just a few houses down from us when I was about ten, and I still remember how excited I felt when I found out there
another boy on the street was. I’d been the only boy, you see. The others were all girls. We were good friends from the beginning because
we were into the same things: computers and football, mostly. But we had quite a few of the same hobbies for a while. I remember making
lots of models of aero planes one year. Another year we took up fishing. We had all the equipment and everything and we’d spend ages
down by the river. I never go fishing now. His family moved away a couple of years ago. We’re still friends on Facebook but we don’t
really have much contact.
