Read the article about an unusual café and choose the best answers, A, B, C or D. A famous Hollywood star visited a café in Edinburgh recently. People took ‘selfie’ photos with the actor and the staff were very excited because one of the most famous people on the planet was visiting them! But this is not an ordinary café. It is special because it helps homeless people. The café has something called ‘a suspended coffee and food plan’. Customers can pay for a hot drink or snack for a homeless person to have later. And when a customer visits the café ten times, the café will give a homeless person a free meal and a hot drink.We see homeless people every day in the big cities, but sometimes we don’t want to see them. Maybe we think they are lazy or that they are homeless because they don’t want to work. But that isn’t true. Many homeless people had a life like ours, but something happened and they lost everything. Then they had to sleep on the roads or under bridges and ask people for food and money. Some of the people who work in the café in Edinburgh were homeless in the past but now they have a chance to have a better life.The actor had something to eat and gave some money to the café while he was there. His visit to the café showed that it is easy to help people. There are more cafés like the one in Edinburgh. Maybe there is one near you.
