Passage 3
English is my mother tongue. Besides, I can speak French and Spanish. I studied the two languages
when I was at high school. Now, I am still learning Spanish at the University. As for me, mastering a foreign
language is not easy. After studying a language, practice is very necessary and useful. Traveling to the country
where the target language is spoken is very helpful, but if you can not speak the language well enough you
will certainly have troubles. I also frequently go to the movies, watch television, listen to the radio in the
language I am trying to learn. Reading is another good way to learn. Books are good, but I personally think
newspapers and magazines are better. However, getting some knowledge of the language is the most
important thing. Grammar and vocabulary should be mastered first.

until they are healthy again. People visiting the RSPCA may choose their pets from these animals and you
can be sure that you will get a healthy pet. If later your pet becomes ill, you can take it to the doctors at the
RSPCA for treatment.

Every day on radio, on TV, and in the newspaper, we hear, see or read about many problems in the

trains and poisonous gases emitted from factories. Also, waste is dumped any where, even in the city where
many people are living. The second pollution problem is sea pollution. Many people earn their living from
fishing in the sea, and the fish they catch feed many people. But the sea has become so polluted from oil
spills and factory wastes that the fish are dying. This pollution is not only killing the fish, but is also
affecting those people who eat fish.

Passage 7:
FOOTPRINTS ON THE MOON

13
 Long ago a lot of people thought the moon was a god. Other people thought it was just a light in the sky.
And others thought it was a big ball of cheese. The telescopes were made. And men saw that the moon
was really another world. They wondered what it was like. They dreamed of going there.
On July 20, 1969, that dream came true. Two American men landed on the moon. Their names were Neil
Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin. The first thing the men found was that the moon is covered with dust. The
dust is so thick that the men left footprints where they walked. Those were the first marks a living thing
had ever made on the moon. And they could stay there for years and years. There is no wind or rain to wipe
them off.
The two men walked on the moon for hours. They picked up rocks to bring back to earth for study. They
dug up dirt to bring back. They set up machines to find out things people wanted to know. Then they
climbed back into their moon landing craft.
Next day, the landing craft roared as the two men took off from the moon. They joined Michael Collins
in the spaceship that waited for them above the moon. Then they were off on their trip back to earth. Behind
them they left the plains and tall mountains of the moon. They left the machines they had set up. And they
left footprints that may last forever.
