BRUSSELS – CHOCOLATE CAPITAL OF THE WORLD

BRUSSELS IS NOT… (SOLELY/ONLY/YET/AT ALL) THE CAPITAL OF BELGIUM AND

THE CENTER OF THE EUROPEAN UNION BUT, … (WHICH/WHO/WHAT/WHERE) MOST

PEOPLE DON’T KNOW, THE CHOCOLATE CAPITAL OF THE WORLD. EVER SINCE THE

BELGIAN JEAN NEUHAUS CREATED THE FIRST PRALINE A HUNDRED YEARS …

(AGO/BEFORE/LAST/PAST), BELGIUM HAS BEEN HOME OF THE CHOCOLATE

BUSINESS AND MANY CHOCOLATES LOVERS CLAIM THAT THE …

(BETTER/GOOD/BEST/MOST) CHOCOLATE IN THE WORLD COMES FROM BELGIUM.

EUROPE’S HISTORY OF CHOCOLATE GOES BACK TO THE 16TH

CENTURY WHEN

SPANISH EXPLORERS… (BRING/BUY/BOUGHT/BROUGHT) COCOA BEANS HOME

FROM MEXICO. AT THAT TIME COCOA BEANS WERE TRADED AND SERVED …

(AS/TO/HOW/FOR) A FORM OF MONEY. WHEN THE BELGIAN KING LEOPOLD II

OCCUPIED CONGO AND MADE IT A BELGIAN COLONY THOUSANDS OF TONS OF

COCOA WERE SHIPPED HOME. THIS ENCOURAGED THE GROWTH OF THE

CHOCOLATE … (SOCIETY/COMPANY/INDUSTRY/TRADE). BELGIUM PRODUCES

170.000 TONS OF CHOCOLATE A YEAR, SOLD IN OVER 2000 SHOPS … (LOCATE/

LOCATED/ PLACE/PUT) THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY. EVERY BELGIAN CONSUMES

… (MORE/MOST/MUCH/OVER) 11 KG OF CHOCOLATE A YEAR. OF THE SIX MILLION

TOURISTS WHO VISIT BRUSSELS EVERY YEAR, ONLY FEW OF THEM LEAVE THE

CITY WITHOUT A BOX OF PRALINES. THE CITY OFFERS THEM SPECIAL CHOCOLATE

… (TRIPS/TOURS/TRAVELS/JOURNEYS), WHERE THEY LEARN ABOUT THE HISTORY

OF CHOCOLATE, SEE HOW PRALINES ARE MADE AND TASTE THEM IN THE BEST

SHOPS OF THE CITY. MOST TOURS START AT THE MUSEUM OF COCOA AND

CHOCOLATE.

SOAP OPERAS

WATCHING TV IS A … (MORE/MUCH/VERY/MANY) POPULAR PASTIME IN THE UK.

BUT WHAT KIND OF PROGRAMMES … (DID/DO/DOES/ARE) BRITISH PEOPLE LIKE TO

WATCH? WELL, THE MOST-WATCHED TV PROGRAMMES EVERY WEEK ARE VERY

POPULAR DRAMAS THAT ARE USUALLY … (IN/OFF/ON/ABOUT) AT LEAST FOUR

TIMES EVERY WEEK. THEY ARE DRAMAS BASED IN ONE NEIGHBOURHOOD …

(WHO/WHOSE/THEY/THAT) TRY TO DEPICT ORDINARY LIFE IN UK – WE CALL THESE

DRAMAS “SOAP OPERAS” OR “SOAPS”. IN THE EARLY DAYS OF TV, THERE WERE

OFTEN DRAMAS ON DURING THE DAY. IN THOSE DAYS, IT WAS TRADITIONAL FOR

THE HUSBAND TO GO OUT TO WORK AND FOR THE WIFE TO STAY AT HOME AND

42

LOOK … (AFTER/ON/ABOUT/FOR) THE HOUSE AND THE CHILDREN. MOST OF THESE

DAYTIME DRAMAS WERE AIMED AT ENTERTAINING THE HOUSEWIVES WHO WERE

AT HOME, PROBABLY DOING THE WASHING. COMPANIES SELLING WASHING

POWDER ADVERTISED THEIR PRODUCTS AT TIMES … (WHY/WHEN/WHERE/WHICH)

THESE DRAMAS WERE ON, AND SOMETIMES THOSE COMPANIES EVEN SPONSORED

THE DRAMA. THAT’S THE ORIGIN OF THE WORD “SOAP”. SO WHAT ABOUT THE

WORD OPERA? WELL, THAT’S BECAUSE THESE DRAMAS ARE OFTEN AN

EXAGGERATION OF REAL LIFE. THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO REPRESENT ORDINARY

LIVES BUT, TO MAKE THEM … (ENTERTAINING/ENTERTAINMENT/BORING/BORED),

LOTS OF DRAMATIC EVENTS, … (WHICH/SO/HOW/LIKE) MURDERS, DIVORCES,

AFFAIRS ETC., ALL HAPPEN MUCH … (VERY/MOST/MORE/OVER) REGULARLY THAN

THEY WOULD IN A NORMAL NEIGHBOURHOOD. MOST SOAP OPERAS THESE DAYS

ARE … (SHOW/SHOWS/SHOWING/SHOWN) IN THE EVENING. EACH SHOW WILL

HAVE SEVERAL DIFFERENT STORYLINES HAPPENING AT ONCE THAT CONTINUE

OVER SEVERAL SHOWS. THE SAME CAST MEMBERS WILL APPEAR IN EVERY SHOW,

GRAFFITI AND STREET ART

MODERN GRAFFITI BEGAN IN BIG CITIES IN THE UNITED STATES IN THE 1970s. IN

NEW YORK, YOUNG PEOPLE WROTE THEIR NAMES OR “TAGS” IN PEN ON WALLS …

(ON/ABOVE/AROUND/BELOW) THE CITY. ONE OF THE FIRST “TAGGERS” WAS A

TEENAGER CALLED DEMETRIUS, … (WHICH/WHO/WHOSE/WHERE) WROTE HIS TAG

– TAKI 183 – ON WALLS AND IN STATIONS IN NEW YORK. OTHER TEENAGERS SAW

TOO. SOON, THERE WERE TAGS ON WALLS, BUSES AND TRAINS ALL OVER NEW

YORK. THEN, SOME TEENAGERS STARTED WRITING THEIR TAGS WITH AEROSOL
