Task 2: Read the following text. Decide if the statements are True or False.

A TRADITIONAL IRISH WEDDING
Bride, be beautiful. A traditional Irish bride doesn’t spend a fortune on bouquets of exotic flowers.
Instead she usually wears a wreath of wild flowers in her hair, freshly picked on the morning of her wedding.
She carries more wild flowers in her hands, as well as a magic handkerchief and a horseshoe for luck. Part of
the bride’s wedding dress is usually used to make the christening robe for the first-born child.
The icing on the cake. In the old days, an older female member of the family would take great pride in
producing a traditional three tier fruitcake for the reception. Nowadays, however, most Irish couples visit their
local baker and order a cake which is decorated with Irish themes such as swans or fairies.
Fairies and luck. Whether you believe in them or not, Ireland is traditionally the home of fairies, who
are said to love beautiful things- especially brides! For this reason, Irish wisdom advises brides never to wear

green on their wedding day or to dance with both feet off the ground, as both of these things will tempt the
fairies to carry them off forever.

2. Brides carry wild flowers, a magic handkerchief and a horseshoe for luck.

The Middle Ages lasted from about 400-1500 AD. Life was not easy for people during these years. They
worked in the fields from the moment the sun came up to the moment it went down. They were out in the cold
snow of winter and the hot sun of summer. They gave half of what they grew to the owner of the land.
Most people lived in villages and each village usually had from 10 to 60 families. Family lived in tiny
wooden houses with all their animals, which meant that floors were very dirty. A fire for cooking was always
burning in the house and there was a hole in the roof to let the smoke out. People didn’t have a lot of furniture
apart from a table and a simple bed.
The village was the center of the world in the Middle Ages. People stayed close to home and didn’t
travel far because they were afraid of strangers. Life wasn’t all bad in the Middle Ages, however. People didn’t
work on Sundays and often gathered together to eat, drink and enjoy themselves. There were many holidays and

Task 2: Read the following text. Decide if the statements are True or False.
Passage 1:
Climate change will affect animals all over the world. For examples, in Vietnam, it will cause bigger
storms and more droughts. It will also cause sea levels to rise. Sea levels could increase by 100 cm by 2100.
Many animals will be affected by climate change.
Climate change also affects the habitat of sarus cranes living in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam. The cranes’
habitat is becoming smaller as land is being covered by rising water. They have less space to live and lay eggs.
In 1988, there were over 1,000 sarus cranes in Tram Chim National Park but in 2012, only 67 were left. Soon,
there may not be any sarus cranes left in Vietnam because of the effects of climate change on their habitat.

Passage 2:
Sea turtles are in real danger. Climate change will affect sea turtles in many ways. Warmer temperatures
will affect sea turtle eggs. Warm seas cause more female turtles to be born than males. In addition, the habitat of
sea turtles is getting smaller. Climate change will cause ice to melt and sea levels will rise. Therefore, it will
destroy the habitats of sea turtles on the beaches. Their nests are also being affected by humans on beaches.
With the seas getting warmer, sea turtles won't have enough food to eat because other sea life will die. There
might not be any more sea turtles in the future if people don’t find solutions to this problem.
1. Climate change won’t affect sea turtles.
2. The habitats of sea turtles will get smaller.

Recycling is taking used materials and waste and then turning it into new, useful products. Recycling

waste into new products reduces the amount of materials that would have been needed if the product had to be
made all over again. For example, most paper is made from trees, but if old paper is recycled, less trees would
be needed. Recycling uses less energy, and helps with pollution control.
There are some important steps for recycling to be successful:
First, the items to be recycled must be collected. Many communities require residents to recycle and
collect the materials using large bins or cans. The recyclables are picked up regularly, just like the other trash
and waste products.
Second, the recyclables must be sorted into the different materials. The most common materials include
paper, plastic, glass, and aluminum, which must be separated from each other.
Third, the recycled items must be processed at a recycling plant. Since there are different materials that
need to be recycled, each has its own method of turning the old into the renewed.
In summary, steps for recycling include collecting, sorting, and processing. Each material also has
several more steps that must occur in order for each it to be reused gain as a useful product.
