6 Hi
Have you seen my new neighbour? The minute I saw him I thought he was really
attractive. I think he’s interested in art like me. So we already have something in
common. I also find it easy to talk to him because he’s so relaxed. I’m sure we’ll get
on well.

B He’s good-looking.
C.
C He’s talkative.




7 Hi!
I was wondering if you’d like to come over to my place after school today. A couple
of friends will be there and a guy from the flat upstairs. We sometimes hang out
there because he’s got this amazing home cinema. And I’ve ordered in some food
for dinner from a nice Chinese restaurant just a block away. It’ll be fun.

Where will Noah spend the evening?

A At home. B.

C At a restaurant. C.

8 Hi
My aunt has bought me the weirdest sweater you can imagine. You’d probably
never wear it. At first it seemed the right size. Then I tried it on and I realised it was
only big enough for my baby sister, not me. So, you won’t see me wearing it either.
Layla

Why won’t Layla wear her new sweater?

A It’s too big. A.
B It’s too small. B.
C It’s unusual.
C.




9 Hi
I’ve finally bought a tablet! So now I’m able to keep in touch with all my friends
wherever I am. I can download movies on it, though personally I think the screen’s
too small for that. As for reading, for me nothing can replace holding a proper book
in my hands.
David

Why did David buy a tablet?
A.
A To contact people.
B.
B To watch films.
C To read. C.

10 Robert
Last night I went to the restaurant you’d told me about. It’s a really nice place. I tried
the prawn cocktail as you’d recommended and it was excellent. The mushroom
soup was a bit disappointing. However, I have never tasted such delicious seafood
risotto. You should try it the next time you go there.
Liam

What does Liam recommend?
A.
A The soup. B.
B The prawns.
C.
C The risotto.

Scott Flansburg – the maths genius


Imagine being able to calculate 385+742-639 divided by 219 – all in your head in a matter of seconds.
Actually, there is a man who can really do that and more. He is Scott Flansburg.
He can subtract, multiply, divide and find square and cube roots in his head instantly without a
calculator and has been entertaining people with his maths skills all over America for 20 years.
It all started 40 years ago when, at the age of nine, he discovered his remarkable ability: he was able
to solve his teacher’s maths question without needing to write down calculations.
Everybody in his hometown in Canada thought that he would become a maths teacher. And in a way
he has. He is an edutainer, a person who educates and entertains at the same time. He is dedicated
to helping adults and students get over their fear of maths.
Because of his skills, the Guinness Book of Records listed him in the category of the “Fastest
Calculator” among humans in 2001. He is also the author of Math Magic for Kids and Math Magic.
Scott has appeared on many television shows all over America, such as The Oprah Winfrey Show
and Larry King Live. But it was after his appearance on Regis Philbin’s talk show that he became
known as the “Human Calculator”.
It is hard to explain how brains like his work. But if you are interested in the subject, you can find out
more in the recently published book The Mathematician’s Brain.
