Read the text and for each question (1-4) choose the best answer А, В, С or D. Translate paragraph 6 and 7.

1. What is the writer's main purpose in writing the text?

A to describe how heroes catch villains

B to describe some well-known heroes and villains

С to tell some well-known cartoon stories

D to tell some well-known fairy tales

2. What does the writer say about Saruman?

A He was not always evil

В He is the writer's favourite character.

С Frodo wants to destroy him

D He has lost a valuable ring.

3. Which of the statements is true of Captain Hook?

A He works on his own.

В He has a partner called Jolly Roger.

С He has a black beard.

D He takes care of his appearance

4. What is the writer's opinion of villains?

A They are more important than the heroes.

В He likes them more than the heroes.

C He is happy to see them lose.

D They are just as important as the heroes.

In any book, cartoon or film we all love to see the heroes defeat the villains, save the world, win the girl and live happily ever after. But just between you and me, don't we feel a little bit sorry for the villains as well?

Saruman, from The Lord of the Rings, is an all-time favourite villain, the type of villain I like. He is a tall wizard with a long white beard and cold dark eyes. He wears a long white robe and carries a magic staff. Once he was a good wizard but the power of a magic ring has made him evil and greedy and now he wants to rule the world. Only Frodo, the small ring bearer, can stop him.

Frodo Baggins, a Hobbit, is small, brave and honest, with bright eyes, curly brown hair and very large hairy feet! His mission is to take the magic ring to Mordor where it will be destroyed. He travels with some friends and together they have to face many dangers. Gandalf a wise wizard, protects them and shows them the way.

Another of my favourite heroes is Peter Pan, a mischievous, daring boy with pointed ears who can fly and never grows older. Peter and his friends, the Lost Boys, have a dangerous enemy called Captain Hook.

With his black moustache, cruel laugh and a sharp metal hook instead of a hand, the cunning Captain Hook is a perfect villain. He always wears a broad-brimmed hat and fine clothes. He lives with a band of pirates on his ship, the Jolly Roger, making plans to kidnap the Lost Boys and capture the boy he hates.

Not all villains are men. The Wicked Queen in Snow White is one of the most cold-hearted villains ever. Beautiful but vain, the queen asks her mirror every day, "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?" The answer always pleases her, until one day the mirror replies that kind and caring Snow White is even prettier than her. The jealous queen is so angry that she dresses up as an old woman and gives Snow White a poisoned apple.

Whether heroes or villains, these are the characters I admire the most. I love to watch the heroes fight the villains and eventually see good win over evil. I also can't help feeling for the villains and their weaknesses; I just love to hate them! These stories are timeless and the characters are definitely larger than life.

Do you love to go shopping, but seem to spend all your hard-earned cash on just one or two items? If so, why not consider hunting around for cheaper, second-hand options? With a little time and patience, it's possible to find some great bargains. Take a look at the shopping alternatives we've come up with which are not only lighter on your pocket, but also lots of fun!

People bring unwanted things that they dig out of their attics and garages to a car boot sale. There, in a large car park or on a school playing field, they sell them or swap them with other traders for something else. Anything from children's toys to sports equipment can turn up at these sales, which are usually held at weekends or on Bank Holidays.

Good second-hand shops can be full of surprises and are often the perfect place to pick up a bargain! Many specialise in certain items such as rare hooks designer clothes and antique furniture. Always check things carefully before you buy them as it may be difficult to exchange them or get a refund later.

People donate used clothes, shoes, toys and other miscellaneous items to charity shops where you can usually buy them for next to nothing! The money often goes to help people who are hungry, homeless or who live in poor developing countries.

Christmas Bazaars. These are wonderful places to buy handmade gifts, Christmas decorations and second-hand items.
