A. Choose the correct answer:
When a child enters school, he will learn many different kinds of skills. For example, he will learn
to speak correctly, to read well, and to behave properly. One of the most important skills that he must
acquire is good handwriting.
There are two main ways in which the English language is written by hand. The first form is
called printing. It looks much like the letters in this book. The letters have simple lines or curves. They
are not connected. The second method of writing is called cursive. Cursive letter are slanted to one side.
They are usually connected. Printing is usually learned before cursive writing.
Each person has a unique cursive writing which is difficult to copy exactly. For example, it is
difficult to forge a person’s signature on a check or credit card bill. Some people believe that your
handwriting reveals a lot about your personality. The study of predicting a person’s character or
personality from handwriting is called graphology.

VARIANTA 2
A. Choose the correct answer:
I had always known that the Chinese New Year was different from our own but otherwise
assumed that the way Europeans divided up the year was something we had always had in common.
Quite recently, though, I found out that there used to be some pretty dramatic differences. During the
middle ages the official start of the year varied enormously within Europe. In Spain, Portugal,
Switzerland and Germany it began on Christmas Day, whereas it started on 1st March in Venice and the
21st in England. In Rome it was at one time the 25th January but then changed to the 25th March. In Russia
the New Year coincided with the spring equinox.
With all these different dating systems in operation you can imagine the enormous potential for
confusion. This can create headaches for students engaged in studying the period from original documents
as they can actually find somebody’s death being recorded months before they are married and battles
still being fought weeks after a peace treaty had been signed! It would all depend on where the events had
been recorded.
