INITIAL TEST

I Read the following text and choose the correct answer: 10 x 0,20 = 2,00 p

I’ve always been a bit of an entertainer and played the funny man. I was part time comedian for years,
so it made me sure of myself. I like being liked and I love making everyone smile.
I’ve lived in London all my life and have just moved to a larger house with my wife Clare and our two
children, Jimmy and Madeleine. We spend a lot of time just singing and dancing around the house. I grew up
with music because my dad is the pianist, Chester Harriott. My working day is divided between television and
writing cook books. I spend about ten days a month working on the cooking program that I appear in. I eat all
sorts of things at home but I only buy quality food.
I’m a football fan and I enjoy going to matches, but I’m a home-loving person really. I am not going at
the pub, but we do go out to eat about twice a month. There’s nothing better than a night at home playing
with the children. I rarely go to bed before midnight. Late evening is when fresh thoughts on cooking come to
me, so I often write or plan my programs then. When I eventually go to bed, I have no trouble sleeping!
