The Rich Man and
the Gold
There was once a very rich man. He had three cars and two
houses and many other things. One day he said, «I am getting old. I’m going to
sell everything and buy a big piece of gold. »He sold his houses and his cars
and everything and he bought a very big piece of gold. He dug a hole near a
tree, and he put the piece of gold into the hole. «No one will find my gold
here», he said.
Every day he went back and dug up the gold. He looked at it
and said, «Good! My gold is there». Then he put the gold back into the hole and
put the earth back on top of it.
But one day there was a man behind the tree. He was a thief
and he was asleep. The rich man didn’t see the thief. He dug up the gold and
looked at it. «Good! » he said, «My gold is there». The thief woke up and
looked round the tree. «What is the man putting into the hole? » he thought.
«I’m going to find out». The rich man put the gold back into the hole and went
away. Then the thief went to the hole and dug up the gold. «A big piece of
gold! » he said. «It’s my gold now. I am a rich man. » He ran off with the gold
and never came back.
The next day the first man came back and began to dig. He dug
and he dug but he did not find the gold. «My gold is not here», he said. «I am
not a rich man now. I have no gold! » and he began to cry. Then he went home
and told one of his friends. His friend said, «Don’t cry. Here is a big stone.
Take it and put it in the hole. Then every day you can go and dig it up and
look at it». A piece of gold in a hole is no better than a stone.

Level 1
1.Read the essay
below and choose A, B, C or D to complete the sentences.
Most people today cannot imagine
their life without a mobile phone. I believe it is one of the most important
innovations ever. Thanks to mobile phones, our lives are much easier today.
First of all, if you have a
mobile phone you can make phone calls no matter where you are. For example, you
can call a friend to let them know that you lost your way or are going to be
late. As a result, you feel safer and less stressed.
In addition, we can use mobile
phones to send text messages. We can write messages to friends giving them news
or sending them birthday wishes. We can even listen to the radio while
travelling on a bus or the underground.
However, some people would argue
that it has a negative effect on our life. If we use mobile phones all the
time, it is bad for our health.
In my opinion, mobile phones have
more advantages than disadvantages if we use them correctly. Our lives are
better with them and they are here to stay.
