High Heels Horror

          Graduation day is usually a memorable event , but for me it was a bad experience. The morning of graduation day I wore my attire, put on some make up, and stepped in to a pair of high heels. Then I checked my appearance in the mirror and decided that I looked great.
          When the ceremony began, all graduates were invited on the stage. I got up and started to walk elegantly as a model towards the stage. Midway suddenly stumbled; there was something wrong with my heels. The left one was broken! All my confidence vanished instantly. I didn’t know what to do, but I know that the show had to go on. So I limped the rest of my way to the stage with all eyes on me. It was really embarrasing!

Cristiano Ronaldo was born on February 5, 1985, in Funchal, Madeira, Portugal. Manchester United paid £12 million to sign him in 2003 - a record fee for a player of his age. In the 2004 FA Cup Nadial, he scored Manchester's first three goals and helped them capture the championship. In 2008, he set a franchise record for goals scored. 
It was through his dad's work as an equipment manager at a boy's club that Ronaldo was first introduced to the game of soccer. By the time he was 10 years old, he was already recognized as a phenomenon - a kid who ate, slept and drank the game. "All he wanted to do as a boy was playing football," his godfather, Fernao Sousa, recalled for British reporters, adding, "He loved the game so much that he'd miss meals or escape out his bedroom window with a ball when he was supposed to be doing his homework."
By his early teens, Ronaldo's talent and legend had grown considerably. After a stint with Nacional da liha da Madeira, he signed with Sporting Portugal in 2001. That same year, at the tender age of 16, Ronaldo turned heads with a impressing performance against Manchester United, wowing even his opponents with his footwork and deft skill. He made such an impression that a number of United players asked their manager to try and sign the young player. It wasn't long before the club paid Ronaldo's team more than £12 million for his services - a record fee for a player of his age.

A.    Signing a new contract.
B.    Winning FA Cup Championship.
C.   Making a goal score to Real Madrid.

A.    Ronaldo was a talented football player.
B.    Ronaldo was a very energetic football player.
C.   Ronaldo gained his success by his early teens.
D.   Ronaldo was a legendary young football player.

Text for questions no 37 to 39.
Jacques has been my close friend for two years. I first met him on a school exchange trip to Calais, France. I asked him the way to the library and we started talking. We’ve been friends ever since.
              Jacques is quite good-looking. He’s tall and slim, with olive skin and curly dark hair. Like many French people, he has a great sense of style, so he always looks well-dressed even in casual clothes.
Jacques is very outgoing. He is always friendly and loves to have fun. He’s got a fantastic sense of humour and he always makes me laugh. However, he can be a bit immature at times. For example, when he doesn’t get what he wants, he acts childishly and stamps his feet.
         Jacques is very keen on water sports. He likes sailing and he spends a lot of time on his boat. He enjoys scuba diving, too, and loves exploring life under sea.
         All in all, I’m glad to have Jacques as my friend. It’s a pleasure to be with him and I really enjoy his company. I’m sure we’ll always be close friends.
