Solucin:
El enunciado expresa una intencin de reunin el viernes. La respuesta que
satisface es Sure! que significa por supuesto! Las otras opciones (Me too: yo
tambin, No, I don't. : yo no.) no se ajustan al contexto comunicativo. Si bien
la traduccion en espaol de No, I don't es no, yo no, lo que podra generar
dudas en si esta opcin seria posible o no, se debe tener en cuenta la parte
gramatical del idioma. En este caso la pregunta se realiza con el auxiliar
can, (can we meet on Friday?) por lo tanto, la respuesta sera con can
tambien (Yes, I can). es por esto que la opcion Yes, I do se invlida.

La respuesta es went (fuimos) porque esa es la forma de pasado simple del
verbo go (ir) y la palabra yesterday (ayer) evoca pasado. Las otras
opciones (gone: ido, goes: va) son inflexiones verbales que marcan otros
tiempos gramaticales.

MY OWN RESTAURANT
When I was a child, I always played with my kitchen set and I prepared the
most delicious dishes ever! In my imagination, of course, since I didnt have
any real ingredients. My food was mainly made of sand and play dough.
However, my mother said it tasted great! That was how my passion for
cooking started. In high-school, I participated in every single cooking contest
and I won most of them.

After I graduated, I started my studies to become a chef. At the age of 19, I got
a study aid to go to France with the top chefs at that time. During my time
there, I discovered that French cuisine was more advanced that the American
one and I decided to come back to my home town to start my own business. I
have had my own restaurant for more than eight years now, and I couldnt be
happier! The fact that I have mixed the best of two cultures in a dish has made
my place the best in town.

LIFE ON MARS

I beg you to take a good look at the sky tonight, I did it last night and Mars
called my attention. As you know the planet looks red, and to me, red means
fire, but truth is that Mars is much colder than Earth; so cold that you wouldnt
be able to walk in bare feet. A very horrible condition isnt it? But human kind
has done so many things that I believe we could change the environment on
Mars and make it fit to live in. Mars has huge reserves of carbon dioxide, so if
we could add just a little heat, we could release enough CO2 to create a
greenhouse effect. That would make the pressure and the temperature on
Mars so thick, that liquid water would flow. Scientist suggest that it is possible
by smashing asteroids into the planet or by exploding hydrogen bombs, or
even with super space mirrors that would redirect sunlight onto the polar caps.
And then, after a few thousand years and after having introduced plants and
animals, thered be enough oxygen on Mars for future generations to run
around barefoot, and without any scuba gear.

7 What is the authors intention?

)
A To encourage readers to go to Mars.
)
B To sell rocket tickets to go to Mars.
)
C To rise readers hopes to live in Mars
)
D To say that living in Mars is impossible.
