Test 5
A. Read the text and mark the sentences T (true) or F (false).
It was July and Rob and Ellie were very excited. They had just finished their exams and they were about to go on the holiday of a lifetime. They had decided not to spend their holiday relaxing on a beach or lying by a pool. This year they wanted a real adventure, so they planned to spend two weeks travelling in Morocco. The highlight of the trip was going to be a two-day camel ride in the Sahara Desert.
The friends began their trip in Ouarzazate, a beautiful city at the edge of the Sahara Desert. First, the friends visited the city’s famous market to pick up some traditional headscarves to protect them from the hot sun. Then, it was time to meet the two local guides and the six large camels, who would take them deep into the desert. At first, the friends found riding the camels terrifying. They were so tall and they were sure they would fall off. But, as they continued their journey, they began to get used to the camel’s strange rhythm and they could relax and enjoy the amazing desert landscape.
After they had ridden for several hours, the sun began to set. The clouds turned bright orange and red and it looked like the sky was on fire. The guides stopped and began to put up their tents while Ellie and Rob stood looking at the sky in wonder. For dinner later that evening, the guides prepared a traditional Moroccan Tajine. As Ellie and Rob were having this delicious meal, they watched the dark sky fill with bright stars. “I’ve never seen so many stars in my life,” said Ellie, “It’s wonderful”. Rob, on the other hand, felt a little afraid. The desert was so still and so quiet.
The next day, they set off on their camels again. The heat of the desert made the journey exhausting. In the afternoon, they finally arrived in the small town of Tazzarine. Both Rob and Ellie were extremely happy to get off their camels and go to their hotel for a cool shower. As they said goodbye to their guides, Ellie thought that the desert experience had been exciting for stone night, but she was happy to be at the hotel. It had certainly been an adventure!

This man Bob aka Mr.Incredible always willing to help the society with his incredible powers along with his super family.
When super heroes mere existence is questioned they get a wonderful opportunity to prove themselves with an unexpected twist that only his wife is offered job but not him.
Though his ego was bruised badly he quickly expands his horizon of thinking for the betterment of his family and super heroes existence rather than the insult of a declined offer for his favourite job.
He supports his wife and help her to wriggle out of the cocoon by assuring her he can take care of 3 kids while she can go and do his dream job.
First week after his wife left was disastrous for him with each kid challenging him physically and emotionally while his wife succeeds in all her assignments with ease.
He handles the situation very maturely analysing the problems solving them working without a break. At the same time he is discreet to his wife ensuring her focus is completely on her job.
When his wife is in danger he gives his 100% to protect without giving her hint of his sleepless nights handling the kids with super powers.
Isn't he a real super hero who knows put the welfare of the family first place rather than his ego. Isn't he matured to let his wife deal with the evils of the society while he is changing diapers ,helping his kid to do maths homework while dealing with a bad mood teenager at home.
Kudos to all the men who replicate Mr Incredible in real life and who would go to any extent to curb the illusional boundaries drawn by the society.
