READING SKILLS
1 Read about some myths about the EU. Put the sentences A-H in the correct place in the text. There is
one extra sentence.

The straight banana and other Euromyths


Many people in Britain think that the EU is trying to change our lives completely. Newspapers
make this worse by writing stories that aren’t exactly true. Here below are some of the most famous
of these stories
The straight banana is possibly the most famous of all the EU myths. British papers told their
listeners that the EU didn’t like the shape of bananas. (1)__________. What the EU really said was
that the size and quality of bananas should be looked at. There was a similar story about cucumbers.
That wasn’t true either.
Vegelate. Newspapers told their readers that chocolate would have to be called vegelate. This was
because the EU said English chocolate didn’t have enough cocoa or milk fat. (2)__________. What
did the EU really say? That chocolate bars would have to say, on the packet, what was in them. The
name wouldn’t have to change.
Euro CV. “All people will have to use an EU CV”. That’s what the papers said. (3)__________ Not
at all. The EU have made a standard CV but nobody has to use it. They thought it would be easier
for employers to compare applicants from different countries. Not a bad idea really!
.eu internet addresses The EU wants to stop people using the .uk internet address said the papers.
Of course nobody has to change. There is an .eu address. (4)__________ But the .uk address can
still be used too.
British exams. This sounded very serious. A levels, which students take at 18 will go.
(5)__________ What did the EU want to do? They wanted to help students from different countries
study anywhere they wanted in the EU. The best way to do this was not to have just one exam. It
was to help all countries understand the exams in the other countries. (6)__________
Road numbers. Someone saw a map which said E30 not the M4. They thought the EU had changed
our road numbers. (7)__________ It was the UN who thought up the Trans Europe Road Network.
But the UN didn’t say the road numbers would have to change. There are now two numbers which
are both used.
