 There is not the sentence "Do you khow Alyssa ?" in the text ! 

 Why is it sentence in the Task 1 ? 

Hello JacksonPaiva,

Yes, you're right! It's 'Do you remember Alyssa?' in the text.

I will correct this.

Sorry for the confusion and thanks for pointing it out to us!

No, I rarely meet new people, in countable situations, such as in my new year at high school, or when I begin a new activity.
