2007/2008 – 2nd Term English Formative Test Read the texts carefully.
Michael: I like doing lots of different sports, but my favourite sport is snooker. I’m representing my school in a national inter-school championship. I have got a tournament in four weeks so I’m practising every day at the moment. I want to be a professional snooker player, like my father, and win a lot of championships and earn lots of money. Steven: My favourite sport is swimming. Like at the moment, I swim every day because I am learning to be a lifeguard. I get up really early in the morning and I swim for one hour before going to school. Swimming is a great exercise, it is good for your body and I make lots of friends like Peter and Sarah, who are learning to be a lifeguard like me. Samantha: I love fishing. It is my favourite sport because I love the outdoors. In between school terms I usually go fishing on Sundays. During the summer holidays I go to my grandfather’s country house in Minnesota. The house is near a lake and every day I go fishing with my family. We catch a lot of fish: the small ones we set free, one or two of the bigger ones we cook them for lunch.

Directions:
The
city of San Diego is located on the Pacific Coast of the United States, in Southern
California. San Diego is the closest California city to Mexico. San Diego comes from a Spanish missionary background. But San Diego is no longer a sleepy mission town. The city is now home to more than 2.7 million people, and it has become a major cultural centre, as well as California's second-largest city.
Some
popular attractions here are the famous Coronado Bay Bridge, the San Diego Zoo,
Balboa Park, and 70 miles of beautiful beaches. There are many beautiful museums to visit in San Diego also. Do you enjoy art? How about machinery or sports? Do you like to see classic cars or scientific discoveries? San Diego has a museum for everyone's tastes! Many of the area's most popular museums are located in Balboa Park within walking distance of each other, while others are located in nearby neighbourhoods.
