Reading
Read the following passage and circle the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions.

A biography is a narrative of a person's life written by another person. There are usually
five main steps In writing a good biography.
1. Choose a subject. Choosing the person you want to write about is, of course, the first
step. This could be a celebrity, or someone who is lesser known. You could also write
about someone who is still alive or someone who is dead. Most importantly, choose a
person who has had an im pact on other people, or whose life is interesting.
2. Get permission. Although you can still write about a person's life without his or her
permission, it is always better to get the subject's agreement. This will not only help you
in your research, but you will also avoid upsetting the person later on if he or she thinks
your account is not true.

Unit 1 - Life Stories We Admire

3. Do your research. You can obtain information through primary sources, e.g. the subject's
letters or other personal writings, and interviews with her or him. You can also use secondary
sources prepared by someone who didn't know the subject or published a t a later time.
4. Choose a format. A biography is usually told in chronological or time order. However,
you may also choose to organise the events by themes or specific achievements.
5. Outline, write, and edit. It's a good idea to start with a detailed outline including your
main points and the number of chapters. After that, write your first draft. Then revise
and edit it until you've got a final version you are happy with.
Writing a biography is not easy, but it is worth the effort. A biography often influences or
motivates people, and teaches valuable life lessons.

1. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

Brazil - A Diverse Ethnic & Cultural Heritage
Brazil is (1)

people. Most of them live In the south-central area, (2)
includes the industrial
cities of Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Belo Horizonte. The pace o f urbanisation has

four main groups: the Portuguese, who colonised
Brazil in the 16th century; Africans who were brought to Brazil as slaves; various other
European, Middle Eastern, and Asian Immigrant (6)
who have settled in Brazil
since the mid-19th century, and the indigenous people. Although the Portuguese were
