III_ READING COMPREHENSION:
1) Read the following passage carefully and decide if the statements are true (T) or false ( F) .
Like other languages , English is always changing , but it changes very slowly . People invent new
words , borrow words from other languages and change the meaning of words as needed . For example ,
the English word “byte” was invented by computer specialists in 1959 .The word “ tomato ” was
borrowed from Nahuati , an American Indian language spoken in Mexico . The word “meat” once
referred to food in general . People learn English as well as languages by listening , copying what they
hear , and using the language . Most school children learn their first language easily and sometimes
other languages .

2) Read the following passage and do the exercise below .
Learning a foreign language is , in some ways , like learning how to fly. There are some differences ,

but there is a very important similarity . It is this learning how to do these things needs a lot of practice
. It is never enough to read a book on how to fly a plane . A book can give you a lot of information
about how to fly , but if you only read that book , then try to fly without any practice , you will kill
yourself . The same is true of learning a foreign language . For example , can you speak English well
without having lots of practice ? “ Practice makes perfect “ is what every learner of a foreign language
should know .

3) Read the passage and do the tasks that follow :
Clothes can tell a lot about a person . Some people like very colorful clothes because they
want everyone to look at them and they want to be the center of things . Other people like to wear
nice clothes , but their clothes are not colorful or fancy . They do not like people to look at them .
Clothes today are very different from the clothes of the 1800
s
. One difference is the way they
look . For example , in the 1800
s
all women wore dresses . The dresses all had long skirts . But
today women do not always wear dresses with long skirts . Sometimes they wear short skirts .
Sometimes they wear pants . Another difference between 1800
s
and today is the cloth

. In the
1800
s

, clothes were made only from natural kinds of cloth . They were made from cotton , wool ,
silk or linen . But today , there are many kinds of man-made cloth . A lot of clothes are now made
from nylon , rayon , or polyester .
