II. Read the text and chose the correct answer. (5 marks)

What is “American” food? The answer is that it is part Italian, part British, part German, part Mexican, part Chinese… When people from other countries came to live in the USA, they brought different cooking traditions. Some of them opened restaurants. Today Americans enjoy food from all over the world. Over the years some foreign dishes changed a little. Doughnuts were originally from Holland. But doughnuts with a whole in the middle are American. In 1847 a young American boy told his mother that her doughnuts were never cooked in the middle. He cut out the centres and his mother cooked them – and they were very tasty!

Maybe the US is most famous for “fast foods”. The first fast food restaurants served hamburgers, but now they serve other kinds of food too. Inside there is often a “salad bar”, where you can help yourself to as much salad as you want.

Americans eat a lot, and when they go to a restaurant, they don’t expect to be hungry afterwards. Most restaurants will put a lot of food on your plate – sometimes it can be too much. But if you can’t finish it all, don’t worry: they will give you a “doggy bag” and you can take it home.

Script

Hello, my name is Sam. I am twelve years old, and I want to tell you about my favorite hobby: painting. Ever since I was a little kid, I loved to create art. My mom says that when I was just three years old, I would draw on the walls with crayons! Now that I’m older, I have my own art supplies and a special corner in my room for painting. Every Saturday morning, I spend a few hours painting landscapes and abstract art. My favorite colors are blue and green because they remind me of nature. I often go to the park to find inspiration for my paintings. Last month, my school held an art competition. I painted a beautiful sunset over the ocean and won second place! It felt amazing to have my work recognized. Painting helps me relax and express my feelings. Whenever I'm stressed or sad, I pick up my brush and start creating. My friends sometimes join me, and we have fun painting together. I believe everyone should have a hobby they love. Hobbies make life more colorful and exciting!
