decided to do. When I left college, a lot of my friends who were looking for jobs said

was very stressful until a friend called me one evening. She told me about this TV
show where a group of people offered to help new business owners. I was a bit scared.

money into your business. I told them all about my idea and at first, they were not
very happy with it. But they were very interested and asked a lot of questions. At the
last minute, one of the people decided to give me the money! I was so happy and
excited!

This was two years ago and my business, Amazing Cupcakes, is doing really
well! We sell our cupcakes to all the biggest supermarkets in Mexico. I have 45 people
working for me, making our delicious cupcakes all day and night. It is hard work, but
I love it. I'm so happy that I did it. Anyone with a dream should try their best to make

to listen to a difficult boss! And if I want a day off, that's easy too!

My name's Ariona and I live on the coast of Portugal where there are lots of
beautiful sandy beaches and warm sunny days. It's the perfect location for my
favourite hobby - making sand sculptures. (37) ____ For fairly basic sculptures like
the ones I make, all you really need is a safe place to build it, something to dig with,
(38) ____ I'd never actually thought of making sand sculptures before until my friends
and I discovered some fantastic ones that were along the shore near where I live. (39)
____ that such beautiful model buildings, incredible creatures, and some amazingly
realistic foes of famous people were all made out of sand. From that moment, I knew
that this was something I just had to do even though I'd never considered myself to be
an artist or very creative. In fact, anyone can create a sand sculpture, but it's much
harder than it looks as I soon discovered. The first sand sculpture I ever made was of a
two-metre-long dolphin. (40) ____ I tried everything to try and fix it, but it was
hopeless. Soon the whole thing was a big pile of wet sand on the beach. Some people
sunbathing nearby seemed to think this was extremely funny, but that made me want
to keep trying even more. I wished I'd listened to an expert or YouTube who
recommends digging up wet sand and use it to build the sand sculptures because it
sticks together better. ​
A. I couldn't believe ​
B. and a large bucket ​
C. It's always great fun and it costs nothing. ​
D. I was making brilliant progress on it until quite suddenly the head started to break
off!
