 An interesting story – Rewrite the story using who, which, that where or and.

I was sitting in a café. I often go there for a drink after work. I called the waiter. I know him quite well. I
asked for a cup of coffee. While I was waiting I looked at a newspaper. It was lying on the table. I started
reading an article on the front page. It said: ‘Police are looking for a woman, Catherine. She has been
missing from her home for two weeks.’ I looked at the photo. It showed a woman with dark curly hair,
she had a round face. I recognized it at once. She was my new neighbor. She had moved in just 2 weeks
before.

 Read the passage and do the activities

What is the most popular sport in the world? Most people would probably say soccer, because of the many
millions who play it and the even larger number who watch it on television. There are some, however, who
say the correct answer is basketball – not because of its TV audience, which is certainly smaller than that for
soccer, but because the number of people who regularly play the game might be higher (at least 300 million,
according to most estimates).

In China, for example, which has a population of 1.3 billion, more people play basketball
than soccer, and it is becoming more popular all the time. Basketball has existed for less
time than some of the world’s other major sports. It was invented in the early 1890s by
a Canadian, James Naismith, working at a college in the state of Massachusetts in the
United States. Wanting to create a game that could be played indoors during the long
winters but would also be active enough to keep people in shape, he had the idea of two
teams of players trying to throw a ball into a basket that was above their heads.

Early basketball looked different from the game today: for example, the basket didn’t have a hole in the
bottom, so every time a player threw the ball in, someone had to go up to get it out again! Another difference
is dribbling, which is when a player in modern basketball bounces the ball off the floor while moving across
the court: it didn’t exist in early basketball because the balls didn’t bounce well enough. One thing that hasn’t
changed, though, is the height of the baskets: James Naismith put the first one 10 feet (3.05 meters) off the
floor, and that’s where they’ve stayed.
The biggest international TV audiences in modern basketball are for games in the National Basketball
Association (NBA) in North America, a league of 30 teams (29 from the United States and one from Canada),
including famous names such as the Chicago Bulls, Boston Celtics, and Los Angeles Lakers. Most of the players
in the NBA are American, but there are also some foreign stars such as Yao Ming from China and Dirk Nowitzki
from Germany.

The United States has usually been the strongest team in international basketball
competitions. In the last Olympic Games, in Beijing in 2008, the US men’s and
women’s teams both won gold medals – the men beat Spain in the final, and the women
beat Australia.

A woman was shopping one day. She was tired, hungry and thirsty so she decided to
buy a packet of biscuits and a coffee and find a comfortable place to sit in the sun.
She sat on a bench, took out a magazine and started to drink her coffee.
A few minutes later, a teenage boy wearing punk clothes came and sat down next to
her. Then the woman realised that the punk boy was taking biscuits and eating them
slowly.
The woman was angry but she didn’t say anything. She took a biscuit herself. The boy
looked at her, smiled and took another biscuit. The woman thought “I’m going to have
to eat these biscuits quickly, before this boy eats them all”. She took another biscuit,
and ate it fast. There was only one biscuit left. The boy picked it up, broke it in two
and gave her half, smiling. The woman smiled but inside she was furious!
The boy got up, said goodbye and went away. “Young people today just have no
respect,” she thought to herself. She opened her bag to put her magazine away, and
what did she see? Her packet of biscuits! “Oh, no! I was eating the boy’s packet of
biscuits!”
