increase your strength and energy, giving you more efficient muscles and stronger heart. But increasing your
16
strength is not the only advantage of cycling. Because you’re not carrying the weight of your body on your

III. Reading
Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions below.
Giving a dinner party is a wonderful way of entertaining people. You can also make new friends and give
others the chance to get to know each other better.
It needs planning, though. First, make a guest list, with different kinds of people and a mixture of women
and men. Don’t invite couples because they aren’t so much fun.
When you know who can come, find out what they like to eat and drink. Note down any who are
vegetarians, or who can’t eat or drink certain things for religious reasons.
Then plan their menu. Include a first course, a choice of main courses and a dessert, plus lots of people’s
favourite drinks.
The next thing to do is the shopping. Make sure to buy more than enough of everything, and that someone
can help you carry it!
On the day, start cooking early. Give people appetizers like Greek mezze or Spanish tapas, so they don’t
get hungry if they have to wait. Serve the delicious meal, sit down with your guests and have a good time –
you’ve earned it!
