Do you like the idea of cooking dinner for friends? Here

are my ideas for planning a dinner for friends - 1hope
you find them useful .:.
First, think about how many people you want to invite. Don't
7ñvite too many - 1 think four people is a good number.
Next, ring or email to invite your friends and ali. agree on a .
ñ ight that's good for everyone. ·
After that, decide on your menu. Only choose food that you
know how to prepare. Don 't choose n_ew and difficult dishes
- it's just too hard. Your friends know that you are not a chef
• and your house is not a restaurant!
Finally, on the day of the dinner, you need a lot of time to ·
prepare everything - the food and the table. (The weekend ··
is good because you have all day to prepare.) lf everything
is ready before your guests arrive, you can enjoy the dinner
much more.
Cooking for friends can be easy and fun. 1hope it is for you!

Strange towns
Why is it strange?
Tharnes Town is an unusual English town. There's a town
square with beautiful buildings and there are sorne nice ·
restaurants. There are streets with cafés and big, green
parks where you can sit and relax. You can walk by the
river in the centre of the town. So, what's unusual? Well,
there aren't any English people apart frorn sorne tourists.
Tharnes Town isn't in England, it's in China. And the
buildings aren't actualiyoic[tharnes Town is new - they
finished it in 2006.
Tharnes Town is in Songjiang 30 km west of Shanghai,
a big city in the east of China. lt was part of the building
project 'One city, nin e towns'. There's also a German
town with modern apartments and a river with bridges
and a Spanish town with squares and w_indmills.

Who lives there?

A lot óf the buildings are stili empty because it's very
expensive to live there. But young Chinese people often
go there and take photos when they get married. And,
· of course, lots of tourists visit because they can see so
many different places in one day!

How can I get there?

lt's easy to get there. There isn't a metro station in the
town, but Songjiang New City metro station is only 4 km
away - take Shanghai Metro Une 9 from the centre of
Shanghai and then take a taxi ora bus. You can travel
. from China to 'England' in less than an hour!

"'\'1 'fhen Jonnie Peacock was five, he was like most small
VV boys from his hometown of Cambridge - he loved to play
sports. Then suddenly his life changed when he became very
sick with meningitis. Jonnie's parents took him to hospital and
he nearly died. Toe doctors saved his life, but they couldn't save
his right leg. He couldn't run around with the other children
any more and he couldn' t play football, his favourite sport. In
fact, he couldn't do any sports at all.
But the doctors gave him a new, artificial leg. He could walk
again, but he wanted to do more than that, so he started dancing
and doing other sports. His doctors, his friends and his parents
were ali surprised that he could do so much. Only 18
months after he lost his leg, he could run, swim and play
football again, but running was his best sport.
In 2010, Jonnie started to practise a lot. He wanted to
go to the.London 2012 Paralympics, the Olympic Games
for disabled athletes. Sorne of the athletes in the Paralympics
can' t walk, sorne can't see at all or can' t see very well. But in
their sports, they can do things that most people can't.
Jonnie Péacock won gold at the London 2012 Paralympic
Games when he was only 19 years old. He ran the 100 metres
in a time of 10.90 seconds!

But they don't want to change their lives. Next year they are
going to live in Ecuador and then South Africa.

Like many students, Cerys finished university in her home

town of Swansea in Wales and decided to hav~ a long
holiday. She stayed in cheap hotels and with friends in
different countries. Five years later she is still enjoying that
holiday. When she was in Australia, she learned how to dive.
She loved it and she decided to do a course and learn to
teach other people how to dive. Now she works all over the
world teaching tourists to dive.

speak English because sometimes tourists ask me
questions in English, far example, they ask me for
directions or sorne tourist infarmation. 1like studying
at this college. The limeta ble works well - we have
a two-hour break in the middle of the day. 1want to
improve my listening. 1find listening quite hard and
it's difficult to listen to something and make notes at
the same time. So I need to do sorne extra listening
practice.
SAID Hi. My name is Said and l'm a dentist in Riyadh
in Saudi Arabia. Sometimes English speaking people
come to my work, so I need to speak good English.
This college is very good - the lesso ns are very
interesting and we do lots of different things in class.
1want to stay here for a term - unti l December.
Listening and spea king is OK far me, but I need to
work hard at reading and writing. l'd like toread
books in English - maybe even sorne books about
mywork.
JUSTYNA Hel io , my name is Justyna and l'm a
photographer for a newspaper in Warsaw in Poland.
In the future, l'd like to study ata university in the
U K so I need better Engl ish to do that. Our teacher,
Kate, is great. She is very friendly and she helps us
a lot in class. Only one thing worries me a bit: the
marks I gel in tests. 1think my progress is OK and 1
can speak better, but l'm not very good at tests and
exams. But maybe I need to study grammar a bit
more too!
KATE Hi, everyone. Befare we begin the lesson, 1just
want to tell you about this competition we're having
here at school. lt's really good because you can win
an extra month of English lessons for free. That's
right - an extra month fo r nothing. So ali you need
is ... Well, you need to be a student at this school
- and you ali are - and you need to complete this
entry farm by hand - you know, you can'! use a
computer. But you also need to make sure that what
you write on the entry form is correct - no mistakes 1
So if you want to enter, you can gel an entry farm
from me or you·can also gel them from reception.
lt's a really good competition - one more month of
study. So are there any questions ... 7

K Oh, really? ... Why?
M Well, our lives are so busy and we're always in a

together these days. Spending sorne time together -
just one night - it feels like a nice idea.
K OK, why no\? When do you want to do it?
M When are you free?
K Most nights, but I go to my Spanish lesson once a
week. lt's usually on Wednesdays, so that's no good.

K Yeah, mas/ nights - not ali nights. You know I work

un usual I think. 1 really loved sweet things - cakes,
biscuits - food like that. So, my hobby was baking.
Alter school and al the weekend I made ca kes and
biscuits and my friends carne to my place and ate
them. My parents bought all the things I needed.
They told me it costa lot but they were always happy
