Read the following passage. Decide if the statements below are True or False.
Last weekend, Anna’s husband Tom was driving to Asda to do the weekly shopping. Before he left, Anna made sure she gave him the long list of groceries he had to buy.
Once he arrived at the supermarket, he parked the car and started shopping straight away. The first thing on the list was a head of lettuce, a bunch of bananas and a box of tomatoes. Then he went looking for two boxes of corn flakes, a jar of strawberry jam, a bag of sugar and a dozen of eggs. He remembered that they needed a bottle of olive oil and tins of soup. Feeling a bit thirsty, he picked up a few cans of Pepsi and a carton of orange juice. Looking at the list once again, he still needed to pick up a bag of frozen vegetables and chips.
That evening, they were having sandwiches for tea, so he chose a nice loaf of bread and slices of cheese. Last on the list was kitchen role, a tube of toothpaste and a bottle of shampoo. Once he finished, he felt a bit hungry, so he chose a bar of chocolate and a bag of crisps.

TEACHING THE VIOLIN
“The best age to start learning the violin is between three and six,” said Margaret Porter, a violinist and music teacher. “lt’s the time when you are learning about the world,” Margaret, who lives in London, prefers to take pupils at three and four, although she has made lots of exceptions for keen five-year-old. When she started teaching the violin in 1972, her first class consisted of her children’s five-year-olds school friends.
Margaret's pupils have group lessons. Each group has about a dozen pupils and each lesson lasts an hour, once a fortnight. In addition, each pupil has one individual lesson a week with her. Parents also have to attend the lessons. It is important that the parents take an active interest in the lesson.
From the earliest lessons, pupils learn to play by ear. They do not even try to read music until they have been playing for several years, and for a long time, there is a big difference between their playing and reading music. Margaret says that her method is not supposed to produce great violinists, and always suggests that pupils who perform particularly well should leave and study the violin using more traditional methods.

Who were Margaret’s first pupils?
