The keywords concerned in Q1 must be “Surname” and “First name”.
From the question, we can assume that the answer must be a noun.
The Librarian said: “..your first name is Garba - G-A-R-B-A - and your surname is Buwal -....”.
Thus, the answer for Q1 is “Buwal”.
NOTE:
The synonyms of “surname” are family name and last name.
The synonyms of “first name” are given name and Christian name

Section 1
Student: Good morning. I’d like to join the library, please.
Librarian: Of course. Can I just see your student card?
Student: Here you are.
Librarian: Thank you. Let me just check - your first name is Garba - G-A-R-B-A - and your surname is Buwal - B-U-W-A-L.
Student: That’s right.
Librarian: Can I just get some additional information from you for our database? It won’t take long.
Student: Sure.
Librarian: Could I have your address, please?
Student: Here? In Newtown?
Librarian: Yes.
Student: 16 Bridgeway Road.
Librarian: Is Bridgeway written as one word?
Student: Yes, it is.
Librarian: Thank you. Which city are you from? Just the city - I don’t need the full address.
Student: I’m from Lagos in Nigeria.
Librarian: And your date of birth?
Student: 25 May 1983.
Librarian: Which course are you on?
Student: MSc Engineering.
Librarian: Thank you. That’s all the personal data I need. Your library card will be ready tomorrow. Would you like to pick it up here or shall I send it to your department?
Student: I’ll pick it up here. Could I just ask you a few questions?
Librarian: Of course. What would you like to know?
Student: I heard that the library is open 24 hours a day - is that correct?
Librarian: It will be from 1 October, but now we’re only open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. because this week is only for orientation - there are no formal classes at the university.
Student: I see. It’s very unusual to have a library that’s open 24 hours.
Librarian: We are only the second university in the UK to offer this service. It was instantly popular when we introduced it on 1 March last academic year.
Student: What facilities are available here? I missed the orientation, I’m afraid.
Librarian: Well, you can see the three photocopiers over there by the large desk. The one nearest us is a colour copier.
Student: How much does it cost to make copies?
Librarian: Five pence for black and white and ten pence for colour. Only A4-sized copies are available. On the other side of the room, by the windows, you can see the computers. They have a database of all books, newspapers, magazines and reports in the library - about half a million entries in all.
Student: Are they connected to the Internet?
Librarian: No. We found that too many students wanted to use them. Besides, it’s cheap and easy for students to get an Internet connection in their accommodation.
Student: Those stairs lead to the rest of the library?
Librarian: Yes. On this floor, we have newspapers and magazines. Users are not required to be silent in this part of the library, but we do ask that noise be kept to a minimum. Upstairs, there are all the books and reports.
Student: What’s that room at the end there?
Librarian: You mean at the opposite end of the room to my desk? That’s the video and DVD room. We have a small selection of videos and DVDs that students can view, but usually an appointment needs to be made in advance. However, this is not necessary if the room is not in use.
Student: Well, thank you very much.
Librarian: My pleasure.
Comments:
While some sports are typically played in teams, others are usually done by individuals. There are, of course, benefits to both team sports and individual ones, and this essay will explore both, before coming to the conclusion that team sports are slightly more beneficial.
When most people think of sports, they probably first imagine some kind of team sport, like football, basketball, or rugby. These are by far the most popular and so we often watch them on TV or play them with our friends. But they are not merely fun to play and to watch; in fact, they also help us to develop important life skills. Especially for children, playing team sports is an invaluable way to develop interpersonal skills. Working together with teammates helps them to relate to others better, as they will be able to communicate well and delegate responsibilities. These are skills that will serve them well in their professional and private lives as teenagers and then adults.
While players of individual sports will not gain these benefits, they will nonetheless get some important perks from their chosen sport. In sports like golf and long-distance running, people learn valuable lessons. They will learn determination and self-reliance, as well as improving their ability to concentrate over long, often lonely, periods of time. Although the ability to work as a team is considered one of the most valuable talents in business these days, independence and self-motivation will always be useful life-skills to possess.
In conclusion, all sports offer different benefits; however, sports that are played in teams are probably more useful than those done by individuals because the benefits which they provide us are slightly more valued in the wider world.

After the mixing processes had finished dough has being kept to maximize larger in size and finally cut to equal peices.
The ingredients used for making the dough are 500 grams of flour, 325 grams of water, 2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of dry active yeast. The first phases of the dogh making pracess evalutaed in 7 sections. 1st phase: put all the ingredients in a stand mixer. 2nd phase: Mix all the ingridients in the stand mixer in slow speed for 2 minutes. 3rd phase: Mix the dough on midium speed to for 5 minutes. 4th phase: In this stage mix the dough again for 2 minutes in slow speed.
The 5th phase is the most compulsory stage in making dough which is to let the dough rise minimum of 2 hours. 6th phase: kneading the dough to remove all air bubbles. The final phase is to cut the dough in 3 equal pieces, each pieces should be weigh around 275 grams.
The task one illustrates the process of how to knee perfect dough to bake a sizzling Italian pizza. This whole process consists on the seven steps. Firstly all the ingredients; floor, water, salt and dry yeast are putted in a mixer, by following the exact measurements. After running the mixer on a low speed for almost two minutes, its speed accelerated to medium for more five minutes. As the quality of pizza dough depends upon the how perfectly it has been mixed or kneed, so it required running the mixer on a slow mode for another two minutes. After mixing it for overall 9-10 minutes, it is putted on rest for minimum two hours. If after this period of time, the dough is doubled in size, it means this dough is ready for the next step. Later the dough is kneed with hands to remove all air bubbles. It is stretched on the board so that it can be cut into three equal pieces.
The given diagram illustrate the steps to make a pizza dough.
overall, it is clear from the diagram that the prossess consists of seven stages, begining with puting the dough ingredients in the mixer, and ending up with cuting the dough into three equal pieces.
according to what is shown, the first step to make a pizza dough is to put a 4 cups of flour, 1 1/2 cups of water, 2 tsp of salt and 1/2 tsp dry active yeast into a stand mixer. secoundly, mix it for two minutes on slow speed, then mix it in medium speed for five minutes. After that return into low speed for a minimum of two minutes.
After that let the dough to rise in minimum for 2 hours, meanwhile it should be double in size. Then work the dough to remove all the air bubbles, finally cut it into 3 equal pieces, or 275 grams each.
Task 1
The picture here guides us to prepare a perfect dough for a pizza. The process is very simple and explained in the picture with 7 easy steps. Firstly, the top for pictorial representation helps us understand the ingredients. It says (picture) we need to take 4 cups weighing 500 grams of all-purpose flour in a stand mixer bowl. We have to pour one and half cups of water to it along with 2 tablespoons of salt and half tablespoon of dry active yeast to the stand mixer. Make sure to water content should be 325 grams as per the represented in picture.
Now, we have successfully prepared the mix of ingredients in the stand mixer bowl which was our 1st step. Next for step 2 and 3, we start the mixer and run it for 2 minutes on a slow speed and then we accelerate the speed up to medium for 5 minutes. After completing this, for step 4, we simply lower the speed back to the slow for the last 2 minutes to have the dough ready to rest. The picture represents for the step 5, we have to take out the dough from the stand mixer and keep it aside for 2 hours to rest and allow it to rise to the size of its double.
Now step 6 is a crucial step for our perfect dough, we have to work with the dough with hands to remove all the air bubbles which a there due to the raise in the dough. Once done with beating the dough, cut it into 3 equal pieces for 275 grams each for the pizza.
Task 2
The statement here, in my opinion, is not agreeable as sports is its own benefits whether played alone or in a team both. This statement may question the persons talent, there should not be a any difference or judgements passed on sports persons talent.
The current number and type of sports played have increased by a huge number. These sports include both individually played games and team games as well. I will like to speak upon team games first, people are huge fan of team games and respect the play and their players together. In a team game all the efforts of the team players must be acknowledged as it is played. A team game can be represented as a symbol of unity and if a team doesn't play with each other unitedly then there are high number of chances of losing the game. A team sports teaches humans to stay together, respect and stay as a one team, with these virtues they all play for the team and for their nations. Players of the team are accounted with their own talent but with the team. Speaking of individual games, these players are also praised and loved by the people across the nation because of their talent, but these players also represent their nation which has to be understood by the people.
The only reason such a statement is passed over sports faternity is because they all are human at a individual level and humans make mistake. In a team, there are chances one player might have a problem with another player and such an issue might affect they unity as a team and spoil the game. There are chances a player may be blamed for the failure of not getting along with the team or have fear of not being recognized. Such fear of blame or being known, may question the sportsmanship of a sports person, and compel people to choose a individual sport. But the things which has to be understood by the people is that sports person should be defined by their talents. It's not always the inter-human relationship issue, people in individual games are there because of their true talent not because they choose to play alone in order to be away from such inter-personal issue.
All in all, sports are a place where people can present their countries proudly being in a team or an individual. Sportsmanship is always in playing for the nation and then for themselves.

Sport is the beneficial part of our life to remain healthy and fit. Now a days people play many kinds of sport like horse riding, soccer and cricket which makes human body active. Many people think that is it good to play games which are played in groups. However, some please believes that the single game to play. In my opinion, playing single game is better as one-man effort is counted.
First of all, the single game is good for both heath and the player as if there will be any mistake made by the man can count his own loss. A person only has to put all of the effort on his body in order to win the game. Furthermore, swimming is that sport in which all of the man body part moves and his success is on his health. For example, in the previous common wealth game Canadian man heath was good his body movement is that good that he become first.
On the other hand, in group games each of the participant has his own role to handle the game and to compete his opponent like in football. In addition to this, one wrong move of the member of the team can get his team out of the game. For example, the bad move of goal keeper and all the defenders result in the loss of the Brazil team in Fifa world cup.
To conclude with that the single sport is better as compere to the team as in team game on wrong move of a person can make the whole team lose the game.
The above diagram depict what steps are require for making dough for pizza. Some essential items which are require i.e. water, flour, salt and yeast.
In first, take 4 cups 500 gram of flour, 1 ½ cups (325 gram) of water, 2 table spoon of salt and 1/2 table spoon of yeast into the bowl of stand mixer and mix it for 2 minutes in slow speed. Then after 2 minutes speed the machine up to medium for 4 minutes and after passing 4 minutes speed back to the slow for 2 minutes. After mixing, leave it for minimum 4 hours to dry so that it gains the double size. Start pressing the dough with your hand so that the bubble in it should eliminate and then cut it into 3 pieces.
In conclusion, these are the easy step for making dough so that you can easily cook pizza.
