Read the passage and then do the tasks that follow :
When I was young I argued with my brother and sisters all the time. I used to
share most of my toys with my brother, but he specialized in keeping them for himself.
When I asked him for anything he simply used to refuse to give it to me, and then I
became very angry with him. Our sisters blamed everything on us when our parents
accused us of quarrelling all the time. My brother and I got annoyed about this, but only
succeeded in making matters worse. Our parents didn’t approve of our quarrelling so
much, and insisted on not taking sides. They either laughed about it, or told us to forgive
each other for everything. Soon we became good at getting on well with each other.

Read the passage and then do the tasks that follow :
My first visit to the cinema was a very unhappy one. I was taken there by some
friends when I was only seven years old. They was my neigbors’ kids, not my classmates.
And they were all older than me. Sam was 9, Jim was 10, and Mary was 12.
At first there were bright lights and exciting music and I felt quite happy. But
when the lights went out, I felt afraid. The cinema was dark, cold and quiet. I suddenly
thought of the cemetery and the gosts. Then I saw a train on the screen. The train was
coming towards me. I shouted out in fear and got down under my seat. When my friends
saw me, they started to laugh. I felt ashamed and sat back in my seat. I was very glad
when the film ended.
