Tasks for the Summative
Assessment for the term 1
Reading
Task 1. Read the text and
for questions 1 to 7 choose the correct
answer.
Online
shopping
My name is Sarah, and I love
shopping online. I prefer mobile phone apps, but sometimes I use my
computer. The phone is more convenient for me, and I can even do my
shopping from bed!
I love shopping so much that I
buy everything I need at home. I get food, electronics, books, and
even large pieces of furniture like my sofa and bookshelves all
online! But I still prefer getting clothes from a store so I can
try them on to be sure they fit me
fine.
Yesterday, I bought a birthday
present for my mother,
and it arrived today!
That saves me a lot of time. I am a very busy person, and I am a
little forgetful too. If I think of something I need, then it is
wonderful that I can buy it at that
moment.
My friends aren’t as
comfortable with buying things online as I am because they think
that it can be dangerous. Of course, bad things sometimes happen,
but I am very careful with all of my personal details. I think the
biggest fear that people have with using their credit cards online
is that someone will steal their number. It
is important to be sure that the web page is secure. You can see
this if the address has got an “s” in it, like https://. That “s”
means it is safe.
People should not be afraid of
shopping online. I think it will be the only way we will do our
shopping in the future!
