Living in Rio
My name's Paulo and I'm fifteen years old. I live in Rio de Janeiro and I'm a student. My family moved here when I was thirteen. Here in Rio, my dad works as a teacher and my mum has a job in a local hospital. I have a brother and a sister and we're all students. We live in a flat in the city. There are three bedrooms in our flat, so I share a room with my brother. We also have a kitchen, a living room and a bathroom. When I want to be on my own I go out. We live opposite a park. I often meet my friends there and we play football. Football is very important here. We have the Maracana stadium. It's famous around the world. It's not in my part of the city, but I go there to watch football of course and also to concerts. Rio is a very exciting city. It's also very busy. There are lots of shops and cafés. Every year there's a carnival. It's a huge street party with lots of music and dancing and it's very famous. I love the carnival, but my favourite thing about Rio is Copacabana beach. Everybody knows it!
How many rooms does Paulo's flat have?
Where is the football stadium?
What does Paulo like best about Rio?
Read the following email.
Dear Anthony,
I watched the video you sent me last week. You look like a great soccer player and I would love to have you on my team. However, there are some questions I have for you. It is important that we know enough about you before you get here so that we can find the perfect place for you. First of all, how long have you been playing soccer? Second, what is your favorite position?
Also, I am going to need a copy of your middle school grades. Academics are very important at Gramling Soccer Academy. We are only interested in athletes who are serious about school. We believe that if you work hard in school, then you will work hard on the soccer field too. I'd like you to know that we assist all of our players when applying to high school. We also know a lot of soccer coaches all over the country.
Thanks again for sending me your video. I look forward to meeting you. I hope you enjoy the rest of your soccer season, and I will let you know when I get the rest of the information I need.
Sincerely,
Coach McMahon

Read and answer the following questions.
How often have you walked up to a vending machine expecting a bag of chips or a can of soda? What if, instead, you found a pair of live crickets inside? It sounds unusual, but a company in South Korea sells large crickets through vending machines. The company and wildlife conservationists don't agree on whether this is a good idea.
Many young children in South Korea enjoy collecting crickets as a hobby, and adults sometimes take part too. However, as more land is used for building, the crickets' natural habitats are disappearing. Because of this, it has become harder to find these insects out in nature.
Since 2005, the Haneul Tech Company has been selling crickets through vending machines. The company claims it wants to give people a chance to own these increasingly rare insects, and says it takes proper care of them while they're inside the machines. Whether or not that's entirely true, the machines have become extremely popular. Each machine sells more than 1,200 crickets a month, and sometimes an entire stock sells out within just a few minutes.
Conservationists, however, see things differently. They worry that children may start to think of living animals the same way they think of candy or soft drinks - something to simply buy and use. Whether you think these machines offer people a rare and exciting experience, or that they send the wrong message to children, one thing is certain: they show just how creative people can be.
What is the best title for the passage?
Costly Crickets in South Korea
An Unusual Kind of Vending Machine

Why is it difficult to find crickets in the wild?
They are being overhunted by collectors.
They migrate during certain seasons.
They are losing their natural habitat.
They only come out at night.
According to the passage, which statement is TRUE?
The machines usually take minutes to sell out completely.
Sales are usually slow outside of school holidays.
Only a small number of adults are interested in buying them.
Demand for the crickets is often higher than expected.
