Many British people don’t think about clothes very much. They just like to be comfortable. When they go out to enjoy themselves, they can wear almost anything. At theaters, cinemas and concerts you can put on what you like from elegant suits and dresses to jeans and sweaters. Anything goes, as long as you look clean and tidy. But in Britain, as well as the United States, men in offices usually wear suits and ties, and women wear dresses or skirts (not trousers). Doctors, lawyers and business people wear quite formal clothes. And in some hotels and restaurants men have to wear ties and women wear smart dresses. In many years, Americans are more relaxed than British people, but they are more careful with their clothes. At home or on holiday, most Americans wear informal or sporty clothes. But when they go out in the evening, they like to look elegant. In good hotels and restaurants, men have to wear jackets and ties, and women wear pretty clothes and smart hairstyles. It is difficult to say exactly what people wear informal or formal in Britain and the United States because everyone is different. If you are not sure what to wear, watch what other people do and do the same. You’ll feel more relaxed if you don’t look too different from everyone else. 76.

READING COMPREHENSION. (1 pts) Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer: True (T), False (F). For some strange reason parents insist on taking their children to visit relatives and friends of theirs who are among the most boring people the human race has ever produced. What is worse, parents insist during these visits that their children: (a) dress in ‘smart’ uncomfortable clothes; (b) remain silent during the visit, with only the occasional spot of quiet breathing allowed. It has always struck us that this is a perfect example of the hypocrisy of parents. They spend years teaching their children to walk and talk, and as soon as they can they tell them “Sit down and keep quiet”. Why do they insist on their children accompanying them on these awful visits? When their child complains, parents say, ‘If you don’t shut up we'll leave you here and go without you'. When the child says, ‘Good, that's what I want,' the parents ignore this remark and force their offspring into hideous clothes, bundle them into the nearest form of transport, and force them to endure mind numbing boredom for what seems like two eternities. 101. Parents permit their children to say so much during their visit to their relatives or friends. 102. Children actually would not like to accompany their parents on these visits. 103. In fact, parents spend little time in helping their children to articulate. 104. Parents insist on taking their children to visit their relatives or friends. 105.

They set ___ on a journey to Australia. 115. Her knowledge ___ climbing helped her during the competition. V. ERROR CORRECTION (2 pts) There are ten errors in the following passage. Identify the errors, then underline and correct them. Japanese young today study English for six years at junior and senior high school, but very little words can speak it by the time they graduate. If the Japanese want to acquire practice oral skills, they have to do a conscientious effort by themselves as going abroad or taking English conversation classes in their private country. In Japan, grammar is emphasized too much at Japanese high school, and there is no balance with the speaking language. People study English mainly for passing exams. They're so tied to grammar teaching in the textbooks that they find speaking English naturally very difficulty. They should consider English more as a means of communication than of a science.

At theaters, cinemas and concerts you can put on what you like from elegant suits and dresses to jeans and sweaters. Anything goes, as long as you look clean and tidy. But in Britain, as well as the United States, men in offices usually wear suits and ties, and women wear dresses or skirts (not trousers). Doctors, lawyers and business people wear quite formal clothes. And in some hotels and restaurants men have to wear ties and women wear smart dresses. In many years, Americans are more relaxed than British people, but they are more careful with their clothes. At home or on holiday, most Americans wear informal or sporty clothes. But when they go out in the evening, they like to look elegant. In good hotels and restaurants, men have to wear jackets and ties, and women wear pretty clothes and smart hairstyles. It is difficult to say exactly what people wear informal or formal in Britain and the United States because everyone is different. If you are not sure what to wear, watch what other people do and do the same. You’ll feel more relaxed if you don’t look too different from everyone else. 76.

For some strange reason parents insist on taking their children to visit relatives and friends of theirs who are among the most boring people the human race has ever produced. What is worse, parents insist during these visits that their children: (a) dress in ‘smart’ uncomfortable clothes; (b) remain silent during the visit, with only the occasional spot of quiet breathing allowed. It has always struck us that this is a perfect example of the hypocrisy of parents. They spend years teaching their children to walk and talk, and as soon as they can they tell them “Sit down and keep quiet”. Why do they insist on their children accompanying them on these awful visits? When their child complains, parents say, ‘If you don’t shut up we'll leave you here and go without you'. When the child says, ‘Good, that's what I want,' the parents ignore this remark and force their offspring into hideous clothes, bundle them into the nearest form of transport, and force them to endure mind numbing boredom for what seems like two eternities. 101. Parents permit their children to say so much during their visit to their relatives or friends. 102. Children actually would not like to accompany their parents on these visits. 103.
