Reading Text 1: Feeling Jealous

1 ______________We all love our friends, and we respect the people we work with. But do you ever feel a little bit jealous of your friends or colleagues? Maybe you think they are more popular than you are. Maybe they get the best results for their exams, or maybe they get the best jobs. There are lots of reasons why we can feel jealous of other people. But the best thing to do with those feelings of jealousy is to get rid of them as soon as you can. Jealousy is not a positive emotion, and there is some proof that it is actually bad for you. So if you are starting to feel a little jealous of someone you know, here are some things you can do to change the situation.

2 ______________

Its easier to be jealous of others when you dont feel happy with yourself. Its important to be happy and confident about the person you are. If there are some things you dont like about yourself, try to work on them and improve them. Get help if you need to. But always remember to like yourself then others will like you too.

3 ______________

Is there a real reason for your jealousy or are you imagining things? If you are jealous of something specific, think carefully about what you can do to change things. If you cant change anything, then stop being jealous. Its a complete waste of time.

4 ______________

Think about all the good things you do and all the good people around you. It sometimes helps to actually make a list. Think about your family, your other friends, the things that make you happy, and the things youre proud of. You might be surprised. Maybe some people are jealous of you, in fact.

5 ______________

If its a real problem, talk to your friend or colleague about how you feel. Remember, youve known each other for a while you can probably resolve the problem.Good luck!

***jealous=envidioso

Reading Text 2: Review of the Red Fox Hotel

Last month my wife and I stayed at the new Red Fox hotel near Benton, a small village in the south of England. Its an informal, relaxed hotel in an eighteenth-century building. We went there a month after it opened, and it was full of young fashionably dressed people from London. They go there to escape from their busy city life because its only ninety minutes from the capital by car.

The hotel has become very popular because its restaurant serves incredibly good food. People say its the best hotel food in the country. All of the food comes from the hotels gardens. They keep animals and grow vegetables and fruit. On some days a chef shows you round the garden, you choose your food and he cooks it for your dinner. My wife and I had chicken cooked in a delicious sauce and a warm apple cake for dessert.

The meals arent expensive. Theyre cheaper than in many restaurants, but only hotel guests can eat there and the rooms arent cheap. They cost between 150 and 200 a night. But you dont need to be very rich to stay there. Every month the hotel offers five rooms for one pound each. Look for the offers on their website. Then you need to reserve them by phone but do it fast because everybody is waiting for these offers. We were very lucky we got one of the cheap rooms and we really enjoyed staying there. The rooms are beautifully decorated and quite big. The beds are a bit narrow, but for one pound, Im not complaining!

Reading Text 3:

James Shannon is a chef in a restaurant, ________(22) he loves his job. He talks about his work experience and his restaurant, Suzies.

I work at Suzies, which is one of the most popular restaurants in central London. The best part of working there is being part of a fantastic team of friendly and talented people.

I left school and started by washing dishes at Suzies when I was only 16. I wasnt interested in food and I ____________(23) at home, but I worked hard, and soon became a waiter. Simon, who was the head chef at the time, then began to show me how to cook and I loved it so much I went to college to learn more.

In college, I learned about new cooking techniques and new types of food from many different countries. During my last year in school, I won a contest for young chefs. I prepared pad thai, a traditional dish from Thailand. Thats when I decided I wanted to use more variety in my cooking.

When Simon left Suzies, I became head chef. At the time all the food was British. The quality was excellent, _________(24) I wanted to do something different, so I decided to have an international menu. Now we serve food from all around the world. There are so many fantastic markets and food shops in London that I can _________(25) find any ingredient I need.

I use a lot of natural ingredients such as brown rice, organic flour, and pasta. Some people think that healthy food is boring, but theyre wrong. Well-prepared natural food has so much more flavour than fast food. Our food is healthy and our customers love it. We use the best ingredients and the highest quality vegetables.

Suzies is open Monday to Friday from 5.00 p.m. to 11.00 p.m., and from 12.00 p.m. to 11.00 p.m. at weekends. On Fridays and Saturdays we play live music from around the world. Theres a childrens menu on Sundays and thats ___________(26) we serve traditional British food.
