English assessment n1

Level: 4am4/5

TEXT :
The hamburger is the most eaten food in the whole world. An American chef
called Louis Lassen made and sold the first hamburgers in Connecticut in 1895 .Louis
called them hamburgers because some sailors, from Hamburg in Germany, gave
him the recipe. Hamburgers became a favourite dish in America in the early part of
the twentieth century. Their popularity grew even more after the second World war.
Teenagers preferred fast foods to family meals and bought them in large quantities.
In 1948 two brothers, Dick and Mac McDonald opened a drive in hamburger
restaurant in San Bernardino, California. Since then over25.000 McDonalds
restaurants have opened world wide and now35 million McDonalds hamburgers are
eaten everyday in 115 countries.
