Dear Milton,
Thanks for your letter. It was
great to hear from you. You wanted me to describe a party in my country.
Recently, we held a party to
celebrate the end of exams. The party was for everybody in our year (plus the
teachers!) so we decided to hold it in a local disco called Black and Red. It
started at about nine on Saturday evening and went on till after midnight.
There were about 60 people there
altogether. Everybody was wearing casual clothes, mostly jeans and T-shirts. Except
for some of the teachers who were wearing more formal clothes.
At first, people just sat around
drinking soft drinks and chatting. Everybody drank soft drinks! After a while,
the DJ put on some really great disco music and people started to dance. Even
the history teacher got up and danced! Most people left at about one o’clock in
the morning. It was a great party.
That’s all for now. I look forward
to hearing what parties are like in your country.
Lots of love,
Helen.

Choose the right variant.
It is certainly true that reality
TV programmes are very popular and lots of people watch them all the time.
People talk about them and some of the people who 1 enter / appear / show /
presentin them become famous, at least for a 2 little / small / tiny /
short time. I don't like them 3 absolutely / at once / at all /
completely and I think most of them are terrible.
Some people say that its good to
see ordinary people on television because you learn a lot about other people's
lives. For 4 instance / case / point / indication, some programmes show
ordinary people doing their jobs and the people who like these programmes say
that it's fascinating to see people doing their jobs. Probably the most
well-known reality TV programme is different from that. It shows a group of
people living 5 along / joint / together / shared in the same house. They're
all strange people and fans of this programme say that it's really amusing to
watch them arguing and 6 giving/ telling / speaking / letting their
opinions on things.
I don't agree with these views. I
think it's really boring to watch people doing their jobs and I don't want to
watch a lot of strange people talking a lot of 7 mess / trash / jumble /
rubbish and doing silly things. These people are attention seeking andthey
want to be famous by being on TV. They look ridiculous 8 with / to / for /by
me and I don't want to spend my time watching them. I think television
programmes should be either entertaining or educational and reality TV shows
are neither of these things. I 9 rather/ favour / prefer / fancy to
watch programmes with good acting in them, or documentaries about important
things.
In my opinion, reality TV shows
are a 10 loss /ruin / waste /leak of time. I think they're just a fad
and that people will soon get bored with them and then they’ll disappear.

viewers, especially and young people.
______12. They often show scenes
of violence just to get good
______13. audience ratings.
Finally, another thing who I think is very
______14. bad are the talk
programmes; people who they talk for
______15. hours are very bad. I
think the only way things will improve is
if the government
makes the TV companies cut down the
number of
advertisements. They could also encourage them
to show more good
programmes.
