     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 seasons.

      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 quests and have a good time – you’ve earned it!

2) when giving a dinner party, you should NOT invite ........................ .

     A. husbands and wives.              B. those who are vegetarians.                               C. both women and men.              D. those who can’t eat or drink certain things.

3) The menu should include these EXCEPT ..........................

     A. a first course B. a supper C. a dessert D. main courses

4) According to the passage, starters should be served ...........................

     A. because the guests want to have a good time together

     B. because the guests like eating them

     C. because the guests want to eat them while having to wait

     D. because the guests may be hungry while having to wait

Read the passage and choose one correct answer for each question.

     The nuclear family, consisting of a mother, father, and their children may be more an American ideal than an American reality. Of course, the so-called traditional American family was always more varied than we had been led to believe, reflecting the very different racial, ethnic, class, and religious customs among different American groups.

     The most recent government statistics reveal that only about one third of all current American families fit the traditional mold and another third consists of married couples who either have no children or have none still living at home. Of the final one third, about 20 percent of the total number of American households is single people, usually women over sixty-five years of age. A small percentage, about 3 percent of the total, consists of unmarried people who choose to live together; and the rest, about 7 percent, are single, usually divorced parents, with at least one child.

The letter may have the following points:

. Dear Mr. director,

. State the reason for writing (I am writing about the quality of the services your post office offers …)

. Say whether you are satisfied or dissatisfied with these services, or both.

. List out some evidences to support your idea.

Example writing

Dear Mr. Director,

I am writing about the quality of the services of your post office.

I am satisfied with some of your services.

- Ask Ss to write the letter on a sheet of paper

 

- Listen and take note

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

- Write the letter on a sheet of paper


 

However, there is still something that I am dissatisfied with.

Firstly, the post office is closed too early.

Sometimes I need to make an emergent phone call after 9 and this service is not available.

Secondly, the prices for sending oversea mails are far too expensive compared with other post office in the district.

Finally, there is no one to look after the motorbikes of customers. Therefore, we are always nervous when leaving the motorbikes outside.

I would suggest that the post office should open until 10 p.m and that there should be someone to keep an eye on the motorbikes of customers.

I’m looking forward tom hearing from you.

Yours sincerely

- Go around the class and gives help when needed

* Choose the item among A, B, C or D that best answers the question about the passage.

The search for alternative sources of energy has led in various directions. Many communities are burning garbage and other biological waste products to produce electricity. Converting waste products to gases or oil is also an efficient way to dispose of wastes.

Experiment work is being done to derive synthetic fuels from coal, oil shale, and coal tars. But to date, that process has proven expensive. Other experiments are underway to harness power with giant windmills. Geothermal power, heat from the earth, is also being tested.

Some experts expect utility companies to revive hydroelectric power provided one third of the electricity used in the United States, but today it supplies only 4 percent. The oceans are another potential source of energy. Scientists are studying ways to convert the energy of ocean, tides, and waves to electricity. Experiments are also underway to make use of temperature differences in ocean water to produce energy.
