he did in such way?

Use the following phrases to start speaking.

 

 

ENGLISH ONLY

Blair needed a break from the indoor life. Sometimes it seemed like he was in his apartment 24 / 7. He had recently found a perfect outdoor cure.

It was a new coffeehouse which served 45 kinds of coffee and tea. He liked it

because the coffee was good and the place was never overcrowded.

The coffeehouse was only a 10-minute walk, which Blair now took. There

were three female customers in the coffeehouse. None of them were young and pretty. Blair was a little disappointed. He’d prefer to see good-looking women while he was drinking good coffee, but you can’t have everything.

He ordered a large “coffee of the day”, which was $1.70. He gave the clerk two dollars. He put the change in the tip jar and took his coffee outside. Blair preferred to drink outside. That way he could watch the traffic on the street. He liked to try to spot British motorcycles and 1960 station wagons.

He sat at a table under an umbrella, opened his book, and began read-

ing. The book was a self-improvement book. Blair had been reading it on and off for about two years. He hadn’t noticed any improvement. A woman

was approaching the patio. Blair looked up to see if she was attractive. She

was. And she was by herself. He returned to the book as she passed by him. Blair kept looking at the pages, but his mind was on the woman.

A few minutes later, she came outside holding a cup of coffee and sat at the table right next to Blair’s. Her chair was so close to his that he could

have reached over and touched her on her right shoulder. There were four


other empty tables on the patio. Why had she sat at this one, so close to him? Was she telling him that she was available? Was she hoping that he would make a move?

Blair went back to his book. But he wasn’t reading the words; he was thinking about the woman. What could he say to her? How could he break the ice? What was a good line? “What blend are you drinking? ” “Your per- fume smells nice”. “Weren’t we in the same art class? ”

But maybe she wasn’t interested in him at all. Maybe she just wanted to sit and drink in peace. Yet why would she sit right here? His head was spin- ning. He must say something.

Just then, her cell phone rang. She answered it, then laughed, then started talking animatedly. That’s got to be her boyfriend, Blair thought.

But from the moment she answered the phone, it didn’t matter if she had a boyfriend or not, because she was speaking another language. Blair was not interested in a girl who didn’t speak English. He went back to his book and his coffee. It tasted good.

Education around the world is testing more and more. School and study can seem like just a series of tests, and the wonder of learning forgotten. If you fail a test, can’t you still succeed? If you pass a test, can’t you still fail? And what about your life, isn’t it also a series of tests, moving towards a greater goal?

Write about what tests mean to you.
