PART 1 15 points
For each question (1-5), choose the correct answer.
A family of dancers
The women in the Watson family are all crazy about ballet. These days, Alice Watson gives ballet
lessons, but for many years, she was a dancer with the National Ballet Company. Her mother,
Hannah, also had a full-time job there, making costumes for the dancers.
Alice’s daughter Demi started learning ballet as soon as she could walk. ‘I never taught her,’ says
Alice, ‘because she never let me.’ Now aged sixteen, Demi is a member of the ballet company where
her mother was the star dancer for many years.
Alice’s husband, Jack, is an electrician. They met while he was working at a theatre where she was
dancing and got married soon after. ‘When Demi started dancing, the house was too small for her
and Alice to practise in so I made the garage into a dance studio. Now the living room is nice and
quiet when I’m watching television!’ he says.
Last month, Demi was invited to dance in the ballet Swan Lake. Of course, Alice and Hannah were
in the audience and even Jack was there, which made it very special for Demi. Jack says, ‘I’m not
that interested in ballet myself but it’s fantastic seeing Demi taking her first steps with Alice’s old
company!’ Demi was wearing a dress that Hannah made for Alice many years before.
‘It was very exciting for all of us,’ says Hannah. ‘Demi’s way of dancing is very like Alice’s. I know
I’m her grandmother, but I think she has a great future!’

Young blog writers

Tasha
Last year I wrote for my college magazine, which I found really difficult, but I don’t think it’s hard to
write a good blog. Mine is about things from daily life that make me laugh. My older brother also has
a blog, but we’re writing about different subjects. We don’t discuss what we’re planning, but we read
each other’s blogs sometimes. I like giving advice to people who write in asking for it – it’s good to
know I’ve helped.
Danni
I started writing my popular film blog because I love movies. I like it when readers send me articles
by email about a film they’ve seen, and I put these on my blog for everyone to read. I’m still at college,
so I’m careful about spending too long on my blog, which is difficult as writing well takes time. I don’t
think I’ll write it for much longer. I’m busy, and it’s time to do something new.
Chrissie
I began writing on a school magazine. I stopped after a few years, but I missed it, so I started my
own – I’m still writing it now! The blog’s new for me, and I write about daily life. I get ideas from
friends or my sister when I can’t decide what to write about – we always think of something
interesting, sad or serious. At first, almost nobody visited my site, but now more do, I’ve had some
lovely comments.
