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 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!

Women's World Cup in the United States and nearly one billion viewers from seventy countries tuned in to watch
sixteen countries vie for the title. In the 1999 edition, one of the most famous moments of the tournament was

VI. Read the passage and choose the best answer:
The world's population increased from 3 billion in 1959 to 6 billion by 1999, a doubling that occurred
over 40 years. The Census Bureau's lasted projections imply that population growth will continue into the 21 st
century, although more slowly. The world's population is projected to grow from 6 billion in 1999 to 9 billion by
2042, an increase of 50 percent that will require 43 years.
The world's population growth rate rose from about 1.5 percent per year from 1950 to 1951 to a peak of
over 2 percent in the early 1960s due to reductions in mortality. Growth rates thereafter started to decline due to
rising age at marriage as well as increasing availability and use of effective contraceptive methods. Note that
changes in population growth have not always been steady. A dip in the growth rate from 1959 to 1960, for
instance, was due to the Great Leap Forward in China. During that time, both natural disasters and decreased
agricultural output in the wake of massive social reorganization caused China's death rate to rise sharply and its
fertility rate to fall by almost half.
