Adopting a Child
Do you want to adopt a child? Here are some things you might want to
think about.
1 Decide what kind of child you'd like to adopt. All kinds of children need
families, especially children with special problems.
2 If you want to adopt a child in the United States, investigate the
adoption laws in your state. If you want to adopt a child from another
country, find a specialized adoption agency to help you.
3 Investigate. Find experts in your area. Request brochures. Get on the
Internet. Tell friends and family that you want to adopt. Ask them to let
you know if they hear of a child that needs to be adopted.
4 Relax if your home is visited as part of the investigative process.
No parents are perfect.
5 When you hear about a child to adopt, ask about the child's health and
early life. Learn as much as you can about the child's parents.
True False 1 Children with special problems are available for adoption.
True False 2 Adoption laws are the same in every state in the United States.
True False 3 Investigate before you adopt.
True False 4 Don't be nervous if your house is visited.
True False 5 The child's early life and family aren't important.
XI Read the text and then circle True or False.
A Difficult Time of Life

A senior citizen is a person who is over 65 years old. This is a very difficult time for many people. They are often
required to retire from their jobs, and after years of getting up every morning to go to work, they get bored and feel
useless when they stay at home all day. They don’t know what to do with their free time.
It also is a difficult time economically. Most retirees don’t get the same amount of money every month as they did
when they were working. As a result, they have lots of free time, but no extra money to spend enjoying it. They’d
like to travel, but they can’t afford it. They have to save money because they have more health problems and their
insurance doesn’t always cover all the treatment they need.
True False 1 A person over 65 is called a senior citizen.

True False 2 Senior citizens get bored because they don’t like their jobs.
True False 3 Many have more money every month than they did when they were working.
True False 4 Many don’t have the money to travel.
True False 5 Health problems can cost a lot of money.
