Read the following text and choose the best answer about each sentence 1-5:
Ravi Patra

In 2006, Ravi Patra started working for a music company and three years later, in 2009, got a job on the
music television channel Rock TV.

Ravi enjoys working on television, but when he was younger he wanted to fly planes. Later, he became
more interested in football. But Ravi has always loved music, so he tried to get work with MTV. His
boss says he gave him the job because he wanted it more than anybody else!

When he started at Rock TV, Ravi arrived first at the office and was the last to leave at 10 in the
evening. Now, he starts a bit later, but he is still busy until 10 pm. Before lunch, he usually writes his
words for the show and in the afternoon he has meetings or makes Rock TV advertisements.

Ravi has many popular bands on his show and his stars are often interesting people. But Ravi knows that
everyone watches the show to hear great music. Getting that right is more important than anything else.

Ravi knows what questions to ask the band members. He tries to make them laugh and this is easy for
him. Sometimes he cannot remember their names but he always has information about the bands to help
him.

Sadly, his work means that he doesn’t see his friends enough, but he has great fun on skiing trips and
listens to music all the time.
