Religion
Article 1: Multiple choice
Hinduism is the major religion in India and one of the oldest in the world. About 750 million people believe in Hinduism Although most Hindus live in India, its influence has spread to many other places.
Hinduism has developed slowly over the thousands of years Like most religions, it has basic beliefs about gods, life after death and how a person should live It doesn't have a holy book like our Bible or the Islamic Koran But Hinduism has many scriptures that were written down over the ages They consist of myths about gods, prayers and hymns, as well as long stories called epics.
The first Hindus worshipped gods that represented the powers of nature - like rain and the sun As time went on, Hindus believed in spirits that were in control of the universe Brahma is its creator, Vishnu its preserver and Shiva its destroyer. There are also goddesses, like Shiva's wife who has many names and appears in different forms One time she is the goddess of motherhood and another she is the goddess of destruction According to the Hindu tradition, animals, as well as human beings, have souls Hindus worship some gods in the form of animals. Cows are holy, but Hindus also pray to monkeys and snakes.
Temples serve as earthly abodes for deities, and devotees express their devotion through offerings such as fruits and flowers Hindus observe sacred rituals before temple entry, removing their footwear In addition, they may illuminate lamps and wave them in reverence towards divine statues, symbolizing a humble gesture of spiritual connection.
Hindus believe that after they die, they are reborn This is called reincarnation The most important thing that we take with us when we are reborn is our character People who are very smart may have received their skills in their past lives.
The caste system has developed out of Hinduism It is made up of four main groups called varnas The caste system was forbidden in 1949 but you can still find it in many parts of India, mostly in villages in the countryside Rules:
• People are born into a caste In their caste they can chose certain jobs.
• Hindus can only marry men or women who belong to their caste.
• For a long time people were not allowed to eat, drink or smoke with a person from a different caste.
• The untouchables were people who did not belong to any caste They were thought to be dirty and they lived in the streets and under bridges.
The coloured dot is a sign of religion and shows that a person is a Hindu It shows a third eye that looks towards God In the past, many unmarried women wore black dots and married women wore red ones But today they often wear dots that match the colour of their saris.
Yoga is a system of exercises that help you control your body and your mind. Hindus use it to be closer to God Yoga teaches you that there are two parts of a person: the body and the soul These parts can be controlled separately The yoga school tries to show people the meaning of their soul
• how to behave in a disciplined way
• how to control his body
• how to control his breathing
• how to concentrate on a certain situation
A yogi who can do all these things can separate the soul from the body.

Article 2: Q&A
History of the Roman Catholic Church
The history of the Roman Catholic Church begins with the life and death of Jesus Christ, about 2,000 years ago Paul, the Apostle, is often seen as the founder of the Church He carried the word of Jesus Christ to the people Many churches were built throughout the Roman Empire.
During this time Christianity spread throughout Europe and the Middle East.The Romans, who ruled these areas had their own religion and at first persecuted and mistreated Christians At around 300 AD Christianity became the main Roman religion By this time there were two capitals in the empire: in Rome and Constantinople (now Istanbul).
When the western part of the Roman Empire collapsed in the 5th century Christianity still had a major influence in Europe The bishops in Constantinople often disagreed with the popes of western Rome, who were becoming more and more powerful In 1054 the church split into an eastern and a western branch The eastern half became the Orthodox Church and the western half became the Roman Catholic Church.
During the Middle Ages the Roman Catholic Church was the most powerful organization in western Europe It not only had religious power but also gained more and more political power Popes launched Crusades to conquer back the Holy Land from Muslims Kings and leaders in the west were very often in direct conflict with the Pope and his bishops.
In the 14th century cardinals elected a French Pope who did not want to go to Rome For about 70 years there were two popes who fought for power, one in Avignon and one in Rome As the Roman Catholic Church became weaker people began to break away and form new Christian churches.

Nevertheless, Roman Catholicism expanded throughout the world during the Age of Exploration Explorers and settlers brought Catholic beliefs to the New World Spanish, Portuguese and French missionaries set up churches and colonized areas in North and South America.

Article 4: Matching
Shopping is a necessary part of life which very few people can avoid It is a daily routine for some people Some people shop for pleasure while other people go shopping just to buy the necessary items in order to survive The weekend is usually a good time to go shopping because people have free time from work At this time the shops are usually very busy because people try to get the best items for the lowest price before the item runs out of stock
Some people go shopping more regularly than other people to browse products in shops even when they do not have much money This is known as window shopping and allows people to plan ahead and save for the things they want to buy in the future or wait for the items to drop in price Some people spend a lot of time looking for bargains while others do not think of the price and are happy to spend a lot Some people believe that the more expensive the item, the better the quality, but this is not always true It is sensible to buy items which are affordable, but some people use a credit card or borrow money from the bank so that they can buy the items they really want rather than wait for it.
Sometimes shopping can be stressful when choosing a gift to buy other people for a special occasion It is common to buy a gift voucher so that a friend or loved one can go shopping themselves at their own convenience Shopping online is often popular with people who have a busy lifestyle People are able to order their necessary and luxury items from the comfort of their own home, or even on the move Delivery is usually free and items are often cheaper than in shops on the high street The only real problem is that the item description and quality may be different than what they hoped for This could mean the customer may become disappointed with the item they receive and will need to return it at their own cost. People who go to shops to do their shopping often use self-service payment machines This usually saves time as the shopper does not need to join a long queue However, it can be frustrating when the machine has a problem and the sales assistant is not always available to help.
