EVER SINCE THE BELGIAN JEAN NEUHAUS CREATED THE FIRST PRALINE A HUNDRED YEARS (AGO/BEFORE/LAST/PAST), BELGIUM HAS BEEN HOME OF THE CHOCOLATE BUSINESS AND MANY CHOCOLATES LOVERS CLAIM THAT THE (BETTER/GOOD/BEST/MOST) CHOCOLATE IN THE WORLD COMES FROM BELGIUM. EUROPE S HISTORY OF CHOCOLATE GOES BACK TO THE 16 TH CENTURY WHEN SPANISH EXPLORERS (BRING/BUY/BOUGHT/BROUGHT) COCOA BEANS HOME FROM MEXICO. AT THAT TIME COCOA BEANS WERE TRADED AND SERVED (AS/TO/HOW/FOR) A FORM OF MONEY. WHEN THE BELGIAN KING LEOPOLD II OCCUPIED CONGO AND MADE IT A BELGIAN COLONY THOUSANDS OF TONS OF COCOA WERE SHIPPED HOME. THIS ENCOURAGED THE GROWTH OF THE CHOCOLATE (SOCIETY/COMPANY/INDUSTRY/TRADE). BELGIUM PRODUCES TONS OF CHOCOLATE A YEAR, SOLD IN OVER 2000 SHOPS (LOCATE/ LOCATED/ PLACE/PUT) THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY. EVERY BELGIAN CONSUMES (MORE/MOST/MUCH/OVER) 11 KG OF CHOCOLATE A YEAR. OF THE SIX MILLION TOURISTS WHO VISIT BRUSSELS EVERY YEAR, ONLY FEW OF THEM LEAVE THE CITY WITHOUT A BOX OF PRALINES. THE CITY OFFERS THEM SPECIAL CHOCOLATE (TRIPS/TOURS/TRAVELS/JOURNEYS), WHERE THEY LEARN ABOUT THE HISTORY OF CHOCOLATE, SEE HOW PRALINES ARE MADE AND TASTE THEM IN THE BEST SHOPS OF THE CITY. MOST TOURS START AT THE MUSEUM OF COCOA AND CHOCOLATE. 3 PER CIASCUNA DELLE SEGUENTI DOMANDE O AFFERMAZIONI SCEGLI TRA LE ALTERNATIVE PROPOSTE LA RISPOSTA O FRASE DI COMPLETAMENTO CORRETTA EXCUSE ME, CAN YOU TELL ME IF THERE S A BANK NEARBY?

BUT WHAT KIND OF PROGRAMMES (DID/DO/DOES/ARE) BRITISH PEOPLE LIKE TO WATCH? WELL, THE MOST-WATCHED TV PROGRAMMES EVERY WEEK ARE VERY POPULAR DRAMAS THAT ARE USUALLY (IN/OFF/ON/ABOUT) AT LEAST FOUR TIMES EVERY WEEK. THEY ARE DRAMAS BASED IN ONE NEIGHBOURHOOD (WHO/WHOSE/THEY/THAT) TRY TO DEPICT ORDINARY LIFE IN UK WE CALL THESE DRAMAS SOAP OPERAS OR SOAPS. IN THE EARLY DAYS OF TV, THERE WERE OFTEN DRAMAS ON DURING THE DAY. IN THOSE DAYS, IT WAS TRADITIONAL FOR THE HUSBAND TO GO OUT TO WORK AND FOR THE WIFE TO STAY AT HOME AND 41

42 LOOK (AFTER/ON/ABOUT/FOR) THE HOUSE AND THE CHILDREN. MOST OF THESE DAYTIME DRAMAS WERE AIMED AT ENTERTAINING THE HOUSEWIVES WHO WERE AT HOME, PROBABLY DOING THE WASHING. COMPANIES SELLING WASHING POWDER ADVERTISED THEIR PRODUCTS AT TIMES (WHY/WHEN/WHERE/WHICH) THESE DRAMAS WERE ON, AND SOMETIMES THOSE COMPANIES EVEN SPONSORED THE DRAMA. THAT S THE ORIGIN OF THE WORD SOAP. SO WHAT ABOUT THE WORD OPERA? WELL, THAT S BECAUSE THESE DRAMAS ARE OFTEN AN EXAGGERATION OF REAL LIFE. THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO REPRESENT ORDINARY LIVES BUT, TO MAKE THEM (ENTERTAINING/ENTERTAINMENT/BORING/BORED), LOTS OF DRAMATIC EVENTS, (WHICH/SO/HOW/LIKE) MURDERS, DIVORCES, AFFAIRS ETC., ALL HAPPEN MUCH (VERY/MOST/MORE/OVER) REGULARLY THAN THEY WOULD IN A NORMAL NEIGHBOURHOOD. MOST SOAP OPERAS THESE DAYS ARE (SHOW/SHOWS/SHOWING/SHOWN) IN THE EVENING. EACH SHOW WILL HAVE SEVERAL DIFFERENT STORYLINES HAPPENING AT ONCE THAT CONTINUE OVER SEVERAL SHOWS.

IN NEW YORK, YOUNG PEOPLE WROTE THEIR NAMES OR TAGS IN PEN ON WALLS (ON/ABOVE/AROUND/BELOW) THE CITY. ONE OF THE FIRST TAGGERS WAS A TEENAGER CALLED DEMETRIUS, (WHICH/WHO/WHOSE/WHERE) WROTE HIS TAG TAKI 183 ON WALLS AND IN STATIONS IN NEW YORK. OTHER TEENAGERS SAW DEMETRIU S TAG AND STARTED (WRITING/WROTE/WRITE/WRITTEN) THEIR TAGS TOO. SOON, THERE WERE TAGS ON WALLS, BUSES AND TRAINS ALL OVER NEW YORK. THEN, SOME TEENAGERS STARTED WRITING THEIR TAGS WITH AEROSOL PAINT. THEIR TAGS WERE BIGGER AND (MUCH/MOST/MANY/MORE) COLOURFUL. AEROSOL PAINT GRAFFITI (BECAME/BECOME/HAS BECOME/BECOMES) VERY POPULAR IN THE 1970s AND 1980s. IT APPEARED ON TRAINS, BUSES AND WALLS AROUND THE WORLD. IN THE 1990s AND 2000s, A LOT OF GRAFFITI ARTISTS STARTED PAINTING PICTURES. IN SOME COUNTRIES, WRITING OR PAINTING ON WALLS IS A CRIME. SOMETIMES, GRAFFITI ARTISTS HAVE PROBLEMS (FOR/WITH/AGAINST/IN) THE POLICE. IN OTHER COUNTRIES, ARTISTS CAN DRAW AND PAINT IN CERTAIN PLACES. FOR EXAMPLE, IN TAIWAN, THERE ARE GRAFFITI ZONES (WHERE/WHEN/WHY/WHAT) ARTISTS CAN PAINT ON WALLS AND IN SAO PAULO IN BRAZIL, SOME GRAFFITI ARTISTS (MUST/CAN/ARE ALLOWED/ARE PROHIBITED) TO PAINT ON THE CITY S SUBWAY TRAINS. NOWADAYS, STREET ART IS MORE POPULAR WITH THE PUBLIC. IN SOME CITIES, THERE ARE STREET ART FESTIVALS. IN BRISTOL IN THE UK, THERE IS A STREET ART FESTIVAL IN AUGUST EVERY YEAR. ARTISTS PAINT ALL THE BUILDINGS IN A STREET. LOTS OF PEOPLE COME TO WATCH THE ARTISTS AND (DO/SEND/TAKE/PRINT) PHOTOS. TODAY, 46
