1.1. Annie was waiting for her guests. Her birthday was on the 25th of December and she felt that this was both lucky and unlucky. It WOULD BE great to have her birthday on a special day like Christmas. But, on the other hand, very few of Annie’s friends came to her party. Most of them had family plans for that day. The doorbell RANG and her classmate, Brian, appeared. He had a plastic bag in his hand. “Happy birthday, Annie!” Brian said and took out an old oil lamp from his bag. Annie COULDN’T HIDE her surprise: “What’s this? And where did you buy it?” “A magic lamp. And I didn’t buy it. It WAS FOUND in the attic of an old country house a year ago. My friends found it when they WERE REPAIRING the house. They say that if you light the lamp and make a wish, the wish WILL COME true. It works particularly well with reasonable wishes that are not too big for the lamp. Its magic is not very strong.” Annie laughed aloud. “I’ve never got a present MORE ORIGINAL than this. Ok, let’s test your lamp.” Annie lit it and said: “I wish the whole class would come to MY party today”. As soon as she SAID it, the doorbell rang impatiently.

1.2. What do you think is the most stressful and DANGEROUS job in Britain? Is it a police officer, a detective or a news REPORTER? Well, statistics say it is a London taxi driver. It is a REALLY hard job as traffic is getting worse. If we sit in a traffic jam for a few minutes, we start feeling NERVOUS and irritated. But imagine you had to do that every day as your job! And you have to remain CAREFUL and attentive in spite of everything. London taxi drivers have to have a good memory to be able to take a TRAVELLER from A to B without looking at the map or asking for directions.
