My life is always full of activities, so I never have much time for myself. During the
week it’s the worst. I usually have to get up at six though I would really prefer to sleep
much later. I don’t usually have time for breakfast because I have to catch a bus to
school at half past six. The bus is usually packed with many people. Classes at school
start at seven.
Getting home at about twelve, I have lunch and listen to the radio, watch TV and do my
homework then I help my mom with some housework.
My family often have dinner at about seven o’clock. At dinner we discuss what
happened during the day and catch up with each other’s lives. Then I watch the TV
news.
Weekends are wonderful time for me because I sleep late and do whatever I wish with
my free time, I can go for a trip with my friends, visit my relatives or devote more time
to my hobbies, I think everyone will agree with me that weekends are much better than
weekdays.

II/ Reading: (2.5 points) Read the passage and then answer the questions:
In most English-speaking countries, it is traditional to sing the song “ Happy Birthday
to You” to the honoured person celebrating his birthday. The Happy Birthday Song
melody is thought to be the most frequently sung melody in the world. This happens
traditionally at a birthday party while someone brings a birthday cake into the room.
The birthday cake is traditionally highly decorated, and typically covered with lit
candles when presented; the number of candles often equals the age of the person. The
person whose birthday it is makes a silent wish and then blows out the candles; if done
in one breath, the wish is supposed to come true, but only if the person keeps the wish
to herself/ himself.
Typical birthday party decorations include balloons, streamers, and confentti. For
special birthdays, the number of candles might be substituted for the individual candles.
These candles are in the shape of a numeral; for example, on the fifth birthday there
may be one candle on the cake in the shape of the numeral 5, and on the fiftieth birthday
there may be two candles on the cake, one in the shape of the numeral 5 followed by the
other in the shape of the numeral 0.
