READING
1 Read about how we make chocolate. Answer the questions.
Chocolate isn't very easy to make. It comes from cocoa beans that grow in pods
on trees. In the beginning, the cocoa pods are small and green, but then they
grow and change colour. Some cocoa pods are as big as footballs! When the
cocoa pods are yellow, orange or purple, the cocoa farmers take them from the
trees and open them. Inside, there are between 20 and 50 cocoa beans. Cocoa
beans aren't sweet at all; they're very sour. The farmers put all the beans in a box
for a week to make sure they're ready for making chocolate. Then they take them
out of the box and dry them in the sun. After that, they send the beans to factories.
In the factories, workers put the beans in ovens and roast them. Then they put the
beans in different machines. One machine makes the powder we use for hot
chocolate. The other machines turn the beans into different mixtures to make
chocolate. Dark chocolate is quite bitter because it is minimum 70% cocoa and
about 30% sugar. Milk chocolate is sweeter because it has less cocoa, more
sugar and some milk. But the sweetest chocolate is white chocolate: it has a lot of
sugar and some milk, but not very much cocoa!

2 Read the text and then answer the questions.
My friend Mark sends me voice messages most days. He sends them when it is
morning for him. He lives in California now so it is morning for him when it is night
time for me. This is what his last voice message said:
‘Hello Jason. Guess what? Our teacher is sick and there isn’t another teacher for
us so we are having fun in class. Some of the boys are watching a film on a tablet.
It sounds like it is a very scary film! A group of girls are singing a song – badly!
One girl is studying – she is always top of the class. Some people are drawing a
picture of the teacher and it’s quite funny. I am taking photos of everyone.’
I like hearing about what Mark’s doing at school when I’m in bed and it’s dark
outside. It’s nice that we have technology to keep in touch with our friends when
they live far away. I miss Mark a lot. He’s my best friend, but it’s okay because he
sends voice messages and at weekends we talk on the phone. We also use social
media to swap photos and stories.
I live in London. Mark usually lives in London, but his parents are working in
California for a couple of years. I like hearing about California because there are
so many differences between California and London. It sounds like people are not
always rushing around like in London and Mark is doing a lot of water sports
there, too.
Mark’s parents often travel to different places for work and Mark goes with them.
One of the best things about it is that I sometimes visit him. My parents say I can
go and stay with Mark in the summer, so I am very excited about that!

3 Read Tom’s article about his sisters and then answer the questions.

Surviving my sisters!
I’ve got two sisters, Meg and Jen. They’re twins and they’re two years older than
me. They were very close and they didn’t like me – well, that’s what I thought!
They didn’t let me come into their bedroom. They sometimes told our parents that
I did things I didn’t do. For example, I remember one time when they ate a big
cake. Mum made the cake for her friend’s birthday. But my sisters said I ate it! My
father always believed my sisters and he got cross with me. My mother usually
believed me and then my sisters called me a ‘Mummy’s boy’. My sisters were
always together and I was always alone at home.
Sometimes my sisters were nice to me. On my birthday, they bought me really
cool presents. And when someone at school was horrible to me they helped me.
People were a bit scared of my sisters at school! My sisters also took me to the
swimming pool sometimes and that was always fun.
Now that I’m older, I understand that my sisters loved me and I loved them, but we
were just different and we were interested in different things. When I got older, I
talked to my sisters about my problems. I’m quite lucky really!
