Section 2: Read the text and choose the correct answers
Dinner in the sky is for people who want more than a little excitement when
they go out to eat. They sit at a huge table which hangs from a crane fifty metres in
the air. It’s not a good idea for people who are afraid of heights or for those who
don’t have much money. It costs 10,000 pounds. The twenty-two diners wear seat
belts and relax and enjoy the views while the chefs prepare the finest food in front
of them. The restaurant opened in Belgium in 2006, but now has branches (chi
nhánh) in Paris, Dubai, Florida, and Las Vegas.
David Ghysels, the Belgian organizer says, ‘We realized that people were
bored with going to the same old restaurants. They wanted to try something
different. The sky’s the limit with us!
The crane (máy trục) is checked carefully before every sitting. The table is 9m x
5m and weighs six tones. In the centre, there is a sunken (chìm đắm) platform for 1
the chef and two waiters. The food is delicious, but most guests don’t feel like
eating until after a few drinks! Then they also get the courage to look down at the
ground where tiny people are looking up in amazement and waving. 1. Where is the restaurant? A. in the sea B. in the desert C. in the sky D. in the land
2. Where was it opened in 2006? A. in Paris B. in Dubai C. in Florida D. in Belgium

My name is John, and this is my story. Last year just before Christmas my family
and our cousin and uncle and aunt decided to go to Perth for holiday. We went in
two cars but when we were about halfway there my uncle wanted to turn round and
come back. He said it was too far, and it was terribly hot too, one day it was 480C .
Even at night it was really hot. Anyway, what we decided to do was to drive back
about 160 km to a place where the train went through. Then we put both cars on
the train and we all went to Peth by train. That was fun. It was a good train. We had
a good time in Perth but we had to cut our holiday short. You see, while we were
there my grandmother (my mother’s mother) in Melbourne died. Most of us flew

Good afternoon. Many people in the western world eat the wrong (food) and they
eat far too much of it. So the topic of my lecture today is ( eating. I’ll healthy)
divide my talk into three parts; firstly, I’m going to define what I mean by healthy
eating. After that, I’ll go on to talk about why (people) don’t eat properly and then
I’ll finish my lecture with some ideas for improving the situation.
Right … So what do I mean by ‘healthy eating’? Well, some people might think it
means eating a lot of (meat). Ummm… of course, vegetarians wouldn’t agree with
this. They think eating meat is very unhealthy. Other people think that eating a lot
of cabbage is (good) for you, or a lot of salad. Well, naturally, cabbage, salad and
meat can all be part of healthy eating. But, for me, a healthy eating means (two)
things: one is… eating a balanced diet and the other is… eating the right amount of
food. In my opinion, a balanced diet means eating a variety of foods, including
meat, vegetables, fruit, cereals and dairy foods. Obviously, the amount of food we
should eat is more difficult to decide. It depends a lot on how (active) we are. 9 EX2:
Now on to my next point … Why do so many people eat badly? Well, let’s look
first at having a balanced diet. To have a balanced diet you have to (plan) your
meals in advance and then buy the right food… and then take time to cook it
properly. But, these days people are so busy working that they don’t have time to
go (shopping), so they end up buying fast food at the last minute. Another reason
people don’t eat well nowadays is that it’s actually (cheaper) to buy food already
prepared in a packet. So, people who haven’t got much money, will buy packet
food rather than cook something (fresh). And a final reason why people don’t eat
healthily … and that is that they don’t know how to. In my opinion, schools don’t
do nearly enough to educate their pupils in healthy eating (habits). 10
