Good Luck.
[Imagine / Imagined] a new chocolate that keeps you younger looking. It seems too good to be [true / truly] , but a team of scientists believes they have [inventing / invented] anti-ageing chocolate. A laboratory working with the UK's Cambridge University has been working [in / on] a method to keep away wrinkles and keep the [skin / skins] looking younger. It has called its new product 'Esthechoc'. This is a combination of the [word / words] 'esthetic' (meaning all things beautiful) and 'chocolate'. The new product is also [called / calls] Cambridge Beauty Chocolate. The [makes / makers] will start selling it from next month. The laboratory has not said anything about the [pricey / price] yet, but it is likely to be quite expensive. The lab [hopes / hoping] young, rich business executives will buy it.

The laboratory used a [special / specially] chemical called an antioxidant in the chocolate. The antioxidant they [usage / used] is one that gives flamingos their pink colour. The scientists say [that / what] the antioxidant can bring parts of the skin of a 50 to 60-year-old person [back / backing] to the levels of a 20 to 30-year-old. They said people who ate the chocolate could see [changes / challenges] in their skin within just three weeks. A spokesman for the laboratory said it took a [decadence / decade] of research and [trails / trials] with more than 3,000 volunteers to produce Esthechoc. The chocolate [lump / bar] will only be sold in boxes [for / of] 21 bars – one a day for three weeks. Other scientists say more research is needed for people to know whether or not Esthechoc actually [works / work] .
