Hi teachers,
They are for a listening exercise. So the student's don't have the text, only the questions.
According to this paragraph:
‘I didn’t like the old President. He was old and stupid. There’s never much food in the shops. When did I last eat some good meat?’ she said angrily. ‘I work every day, and what do I get? Nothing!’

1. What was Marta’s opinion about the old President? He was old and stupid.
2. What did Marta say about how often there is food in the shops?
a) She said, ‘There’s never much food in the shops’.
b) There was never much food.
3. Was Marta happy with her life? How do you know?

Thanks in advance.

Thinking SpainMy only one brain celI is responsible for that. It is estimated that a single neuron can have up to thirty thousand connections. I guess around 25,000 are dying out and counting back, slowly though.
