| A) In the 16th-century news was delivered from one territory to another very slowly. That's why when the day of celebrating New Year was changed to the 1st of January. The tradition was taken by most residents. However, people from remote areas had no idea what had happened. They became punchlines to jokes. Since then, they were called fools. So, that was the origin of April's Fool Day. | |
| B) The man I admire is my grandfather. He is determined, intelligent and strong. I always look up to him. When he was young, he worked as a pilot. It's always fascinating to listen to his stories about countries he visited, people he met and problems he overcame. I don't want to be a pilot, but I want to the same respected human being. | |
| C) After finishing school, I was eager to get some work experience during the summer holidays before entering university. I applied for some part-time jobs in my town and the capital city. Fortunately, after a few interviews, I was offered a position in a small computer firm as a manager. It was a great opportunity to work on some projects as I wanted to become a software developer. | |
| D) It's hard to imaging our life without modern gadgets and devices. They make the everyday routine easier and people more concentrated on important things. That's why if you asked me what the best thing people had created was, I would definitely answer that it was a coffee machine. For me, a cup of strong drink is the best beginning of the day. | |
| E) Almost every country has its own cuisine. There are different of them – Russian, Mediterranean, Japanese and so on and so forth. The dishes are characterized by various techniques to cook, miscellaneous ingredients to use and plenty of flavours to taste. My favourite one is Mexican as I prefer spicy tortillas with hot sauces. |
