The entry test for Class 7
I. Read the text and find the right answers.
Handmade chocolates
Flowers, gift vouchers, jewellery – all three are standard gifts, but one which never fails to impress is a box of handmade chocolates.
Handmade chocolate contains more than three times the cocoa used in mass-produced chocolate, and much less sugar so it is less fattening and is better for the teeth. The fillings are uniquely created by each chocolatier and each chocolate is different. The consistency, the way the chocolate breaks and the feeling in the mouth, are all part of the chocolatier's calculations.
Last year alone the British spent more than £3 billion on chocolate. Increasingly, people are recognizing the superior qualities of handmade chocolates. Thanks to the Internet, handmade chocolates are no longer available only in specialist shops but can be bought directly from the maker, which is widening the market as more and more people are discovering this quality product.
Making chocolate by hand is a long and complicated process, which means those who do it must have large reserves of patience. It is a methodical procedure and cannot be rushed, so when this process comes together it is satisfying to know perfection has been reached. There is also creativity in making the fillings: independent chocolatiers have the freedom to invent new flavours. For the less patient, however, making chocolate by hand could be frustrating. If one tiny thing is not right, a whole set will be ruined. The job is also very repetitive. Three-day practical courses give training on how to make chocolates.
1) What makes handmade chocolate different from other presents?
a) It makes a stronger impression on the person.
b) It doesn’t last long.
c) It is made personally for every man.
2) Where can hand-made chocolate be bought now?
a) Only in specialist shops.
b) At the market.
c) From chocolate factories.
3) Why is making chocolate by hand not easy?
a) It is quite tiresome.
b) It takes a lot of time and accuracy.
c) The chocolatier has to make a lot of efforts.
4) What happens if something goes wrong?
a) The chocolate will be slightly different, but still very tasty.
b) The chocolate won’t be as tasty as it should be.
c) The chocolatier will have to start it all over again.

2. And where do people eat their food when they are at home? Breakfast is usually a quick meal, eaten in the kitchen. They may eat dinner in the kitchen, in the dining room or the living room, often in front of the television. The British often have lunch at school or work.

Traditional British meals are sausages, beans and mashed potatoes, stew and the Sunday roast.

In the 17th century potatoes appeared in Britain. Potatoes are one of the most important foods in the British diet and today the British grow six million tons of potatoes every year.
5. Ice cream appeared in the country in the 1920s. People sold it from bicycles in the streets.
