A)  Read the text:

Danny is twelve years old. He lives in a village near Montargis in France. He has got a small family but many pets. He has got a big house
 
and a big garden so that there is enough place for all the animals. On top of that, everyone in the family likes to collect things. His father,
 
David, has got a collection of toy cars. He loves his toy cars. Some of them are ancient. His mother, Jennifer, has got a collection of kitchen
 
utensils. She has got old microwaves, old kettles and many other small things that people usually throw away. His brother, Jonah, has got a
 
collection of SpongeBob figures. He loves Bob Sponge and he collects every SpongeBob figure that he can find. Danny, himself collects
 
things too. He has got a collection of pens. He has got fountain pens, rollerball pens, ballpoint pens and many others. He has also got
 
ancient dip pens which are very expensive. So everyone in the family collects something different, but the whole of the family collects
