SUBIECTUL al II lea –READING COMPREHENSION : 25 points ( 5 x 5p)
Read the text bellow and choose the correct answer (A, B, C or D). James Waltham - Chocolate taster Whenever I tell people what I do for a living, they can hardly believe this job exists. But I'm not joking! I spend my days at work eating chocolate! Tasting the chocolate is an essential part of making sure that customers get perfect bars of high- quality chocolate from the company I work for. Every week I receive samples, small amounts that show what the chocolate is like, from our factory, and I have to check them for taste, texture and smell. I also have to taste the new materials we usually use - the nuts, fruit and so on. I spend days choosing the most suitable ones to go into the chocolate Just beside my company office I have a kitchen where I can test and taste products. I make - and I keep my colleagues happy by giving them samples! My kitchen is full of machines and ingredients to play with. It's wonderful to have a private space I can go off to during the day. No two days are the same in this job. Sometimes I am at our food lab and others I'm out of the country buying our raw materials and as I've got a young family that can be difficult. But that kind of variety, and lack of routine, is something I love about the job, although I think it still comes second to the chocolate itself! The question I get asked most is whether I get bored of chocolate. I've worked with it for a long time, and I've never felt I didn't want to eat it. In fact, I'll often go home and eat some more in the evening!
