    The passage describes how to organize and start a barbecue. The first step is to rent a barbecue pit, which comes with basic equipment. If the pits are booked, one can dig their own in the backyard. Next, gather wire netting, skewers, utensils, plates and cups. Food preparation involves slicing meat into thin pieces and marinating it in spices or barbecue sauce. Chicken wings work well on skewers. Finally, start the charcoal fire an hour before to allow the coals to burn down to glowing embers, then place the meat on the wire netting over the fire to cook.

    A. Read the following passage and summarize in not more than 120
    words, describing how one can organize and start a barbecue.
     
    Have you ever been to a barbecue? Many of us enjoy roasting meat over the fire but
    no one ever wonder who first started the idea of cooking meat in a fire. Perhaps, it
    is just in the human psyche that we sometimes feel the need to return to the
    primitive times, probably to relieve us of our urbanized life. That is why many
    people, regardless of age, love to hold barbecue gatherings. The idea of gathering
    round a fire and roast some meat just sounds fun. The meat may sometimes be
    half-cooked or not cooked at all (sounds horrible) but the joy of primitive cooking is
    there.

    The first step towards the preparation for a barbecue is to rent a barbecue pit which
    usually comes with the barest essentials. After all, we are supposed to return to the
    early time frame. Of course, during peak seasons like the school holidays, when the
    pits are fully booked, you may try digging one at the back of your garden. Next, get
    ready the wire netting, otherwise, you will find yourself roasting the meat on the hot
    charcoal. Skewers which are important for holding the meat pieces; utensils for
    picking up the food like forks and spoons, paper plates and cups must not be left
    out.

    Next comes the preparation of the most important part of the barbecue—the food.
    In fact, any kind of meat will be suitable. If meat pieces are bought, like chicken,
    beef or mutton, slice them into thin pieces before piercing in the skewers. Chicken
    wings are the best. Simply stretch the wings apart and push in the skewers.
    Following which, the meat is to be soaked in a mixture of spices for marination,
    giving them some flavor. An easier and faster way out would be to brush 'Maggie'
    barbecue sauce over them. Remember to order a few hundred sticks of satay too. A
    barbecue without satay will not be a barbecue.

    When everything is ready, start the fire with charcoal, one hour before the start of
    the feast. Once the fire is started, let it all burn till glowing embers are left. Then
    place the sticks of meat over the wire netting and there you are, the barbecue has
    begun. Do not worry about overcooking the meat. After all, the real joy behind the

    barbecue lies in the cooking not eating of the food. Just a piece of advice to
    beginners: Bring along some indigestion medicine.
