Unit 3: Exercise 5
Susan: Hi Peter!
Peter: Hi Susan! How are you?
Susan: I’m fine, thanks. And how are you? How’s your holiday?
Peter: It’s fantastic. I’m having a wonderful time! I’m staying
with my friends at a guest house – it’s close to the activity centre
and it’s cheaper than a hotel. It’s comfortable, but the food’s not
very good! But the staff are very friendly!
Susan: And what about the activities?
Peter: Every morning, we get up early and we usually go to the
centre. John and Steven are there now. They’re swimming. And
Martin’s in the kitchen, having fun, cooking with the chef, they’re
preparing a picnic because we’re going hiking later. At the
moment I’m resting because I’m exhausted.
Susan: Why are you so tired?
Peter: There are so many activities and I’m doing lots of them,
I’m sleeping ten hours a night but the activities are hard work and
I’m not really fit! I’m sailing, I’m canoeing …
Susan: So the centre is close to the sea?
Peter: It’s not close to the sea, but there’s a lake nearby, where
we go sailing and canoeing, and there’s a big river about twenty
kilometres away where we go white water rafting.
Susan: White water rafting! Are you going white water rafting?
Peter: Well, we’ve been once. It’s scary, but we enjoyed it.
We’re going again tomorrow.
Susan: And what other things are there?
Peter: There’s cycling too, but we’re not going cycling; we like
it, but we can do it at home. But there’s mountain climbing and
we definitely want to do that.
Susan: Isn’t that dangerous?
Peter: Yes, but the guides look after us really well. And what are
you doing, Susan?
Susan: I’m studying as usual, and this afternoon I’m going
shopping with Mary and Patricia.
Peter: Shopping!?! That’s so boring …
Susan: Maybe for you, but I love it …

U3-Exercise 5: Read an article about a teenager’s hobby. Then choose the correct answer, True
.or False
Adam Jones has an unusual hobby for a 15-year-old boy. Most of his friends like to spend their
time playing sports like football and basketball or playing computer games, but Adam prefers to
cook. Adam first became interested in food from watching cookery programs on television, but he
learned how to cook from his father who was a chef in a local Italian restaurant. His father says
that Adam is now the best cook in the family. In the past, Adam’s father did all the cooking for the
family, but now Adam cooks most of the family meals. His parents love Adam’s cooking, and
.even his younger sister Sarah eats most of the food he cooks
Adam likes cooking food from all over the world, but especially Italian, Indian and Thai food.
Last year, he went on holiday to India and Thailand with his family, and he enjoyed trying all of
the different dishes. Next year, he is going to travel to China and learn how to cook Chinese food.
Adam also likes computers and has his own website called ‘Cook with Adam’. He first made the
website as part of a school project, but now he uses it to tell people about his cooking and to teach
young people how to cook. It has easy food recipes, photos of his food and videos to show people
how to cook his favorite meals. The website is very popular with young people, and Adam hopes
that it will make them more interested in learning to cook. His father now has his own restaurant,
and Adam has a part-time job as a chef there. When people go to the restaurant, they are often
surprised that the chef is so young. Adam’s father is happy for him to work there, but only at the
.weekends because he doesn’t want him to be too tired for school
Adam recently won the first prize in a cooking competition for young people in the UK. He made
a chicken curry with rice and vegetables and a chocolate and raspberry dessert. He was very
surprised to be in the final part of the competition, and he couldn’t believe it when he won first
prize. He won £500 and a cooking lesson with a famous TV chef. Adam’s whole family were very
happy that he won the competition, especially his father. After the competition, he appeared on a
television news show and a cookery show. In the future, Adam wants to move to London and
work as a chef at a top restaurant. He would also like to have his own cookery show on TV and to
.travel around the world and learn how to cook food from many different countries
