My grandfather has sent me to sports camp in Italy for the whole summer. It is great because I love playing all sorts of different sports! I will be here for six weeks in total. I am learning so much about sports. This week we are playing badminton, golf and tennis. My friend Salma loves badminton, but I am not so great at it. I am much better at golf. I have been playing golf since I was six years old. Next week, we will have a golf competition. I hope I can win it. Last week we did judo, archery and cycling. I almost fell off the bicycle when I tried riding it. I am no good at riding bikes. I did not like judo that much either, but archery was great. I am really good at hitting the target with the arrow. Next week, we will play ice hockey. I have never been skating on ice before. I am afraid I will fall down. During the last week, we will go horseback riding. I really hope I don’t fall out of the saddle! Next year I will go to a cooking camp to learn to make delicious food. I can’t wait to go to the cooking camp as I love cooking as much as I love sport.

Part 3

Read the paragraph about space exploration. For questions 6 – 10, choose the correct answer A, B or C.

The start of the space age was in the 1940’s when rockets first left Earth. The first man went into space in 1961. In 1966, the first rocket landed on the moon and 3 years later, the first man walked on the moon. Since the 1960’s, technology has allowed for more scientific research. We have sent unmanned spacecraft to Mars and other planets. By studying other planets, we build up our knowledge of the universe and better understand our place in it. In 1986, we began working on space stations. Currently, we have the International Space Station (ISS), which allows astronauts to live and work in space for long periods of time. In the future, people will probably build more space stations around the solar system. We are always learning so much from our exploration of space. But, it has come at a huge cost. Space travel is always very expensive. It cost over 100 billion dollars to build the ISS and over 80 million dollars to send a person there. This history of space exploration is long. Certainly, we will find and discover many new things in the future. We may even find life in space one day.
