1. Read the story.

An Unexpected Visitor

One sunny afternoon last May, my mother and I decided to have tea in the garden. We live near a small military air base and we like to watch the planes fly over. My mother brought out some delicious biscuits, a cake and a pot of tea. She poured me some tea and asked me, “Would you like some sugar?”

Before I could answer, we heard a loud cry: “Watch out!” Then, suddenly, a soldier landed on the table. Mum and I fell off our chairs in surprise.

When I looked up, the soldier was on the broken table with a parachute over his head! “I’m so sorry!” he said. “My parachute didn’t open on time!” Mum and I looked at him strangely, then, we all began to laugh. “I’m afraid there isn’t any tea for you!” Mum said cheerfully.

Fortunately, we were all okay. The next day, the soldier came back with a huge box of cakes for us. We all had tea together, but this time we sat in the dining room!

A1. More than 80 percent of New Zealand’s populations are Britons or Europeans. That's why the New Zealand school system is similar to the British one. Education is free and compulsory for children between the ages of 6 and 16.The school year starts in January (after the summer holidays) and ends in December. In most schools wearing a school uniform is obligatory. For New Zealand teenagers’ daily life takes place in school where they stay up to the late afternoon.

A2. Canada occupies most of the northern North America continent as well as some islands. It stretches from the Atlantic Ocean in the east to the Pacific Ocean in the west. It's also washed by the Arctic Ocean in the north. The country was discovered in 1497 by John Cabot, an Italian sea captain. About 2% of the Canadian territory is covered with ice. The eastern part of the country is mainly valleys and plains. The western territories are made up of the Cordilleras.

A3. Most Americans simply call the Independence Day the “Fourth of July”. It always falls on this day, and it celebrates the signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. At that time, the people of the 13 British colonies were involved in a war which had begun in 1775. The colonists were fighting for freedom from the English. The Declaration of Independence stated it clearly. For the first time in history the colonies were defined as the United States of America.

A4. With great weather, great events and terrific crowds Australia Day in Melbourne in 2010 was one of the best ever! It is a day for all Australians to get together and, in whatever way they choose, celebrate being Australian. 1788 is when the British Fleet first arrived at Sydney Cove and lifted the British flag. Now, major cities throughout the country celebrate the national day with parades, free food, and different events.

A5. Cambridge lies in East Anglia, about 50 miles north of London. The river Cam flows through it. It gets the name Cambridge from the river. It's a compact green city. There is always something to do and to see in the city: walk in the parks and gardens, visit museums and galleries, enjoy the festivals or relax in small cafes.

The city is best known as the home of Cambridge University, one of the world's best universities. It was founded in 1209 and it consists of 30 colleges.
