Read the text and fill in the gaps transforming the capitalised words. For each last three years, a group of
LUCK 8-10-year-olds have taken part in an exciting experiment: to see if replacing
TRADITION pencil and paper with hi-tech interactive desks would help to improve their math skills! 400 students from North East Britain took part in the research project aimed at classroom
LEARN through technology. The new type of desks allowed the teachers to give math problems to the students to solve solo or as a group. What was even cooler was that the
EDUCATE could interactively give
DIFFER problems to
DIFFER groups and send one group’s answer to another, to see if they agreed.

On Saturday my husband (took) me for a meal in a restaurant which (was recommended) in a local newspaper. The restaurant (has been) open for only three months, but it's already quite popular with young people even though it is 30 kilometres away. We enjoyed the evening as the meal was delicious and we (were served) wonderfully. Unfortunately, after we left the restaurant, we had a problem with the car as it wouldn't start though we ( had been trying) to get it started for nearly half an hour. We couldn't understand what (had happened) to the car and decided to leave it behind in the car park untill the following day. We (had) nothing else to do but call a taxi which came in about an hour.

It is not a secret that our meals influence much on our health and our mood. That’s why I consider breakfast to be the most important meal in the day as it is the first our meal and it can put us in good spirits or it can’t. Now I shall tell you about my breakfast. 
In the morning I usually have porridge. I often start my breakfast with a cereal which is not cooked, it is something dry, ready to be eaten or muesli – some grain or porridge which is not cooked with dried fruit, nuts and so on. 
I also like eggs (cooked in different ways). I don’t practically eat butter, I prefer soft margarine – made of vegetable fat, which is not heavy and creamy. I don’t eat jam at breakfast, I eat marmalade which is not sweet, there is slight bitterness; it’s rather pleasant. 
I usually don’t have substantial breakfast on weekdays, I do it on weekends when I get up late. Very often I have just tea or coffee with sandwiches. Tea is usually taken by me with milk. I like very strong tea without sugar. 
Sometimes when I am in hurry I don’t have time to have proper breakfast and I go to the university being hungry. In such case I usually buy something like «Snickers» or «Mars» on my way to the Alma Mater.
