A.	Youth sub-culture isn’t what it used to be. In the 1960s, youths who were protesting against their
parents or society dressed a certain way to show their anger, or to feel like they belonged to something.
Nowadays, parents are more accepting of their children, and society is more accepting of different
people. There is less of a need to act out, so there are fewer sub-cultures as a result.
B.	There are still a few youth sub-cultures these days. One phenomenon is haul girls - teenage girls who
shop till they drop, then come home with a big ‘haul’, usually several bags of clothes. Then they make
a video ol what they bought, and not just any old video, either. They put great effort into it, with editing
and a storyline. It’s their way of showing off what they love to do.
C.	In the old days, it took quite a lot of cash to get the look you desired. If you wanted to be Goth, going
out and buying black boots, black clothes and black jewellery would cost a considerable amount. It’s all
become more affordable now, so you can belong to one youth sub-culture one week and another the
next, more or less.
D.	There are fewer differences between youth sub-cultures than there used to be. In the old days, a hippie
looked like a hippie. A punk looked like a punk, and nothing else. But it seems that the youth of today
sometimes combines looks. One example is seapunk, which is punk but much more colourful and with
a bit of hip-hop added. At least it’s still very creative!
E.	A youth sub-culture is defined by many things. It’s the need to stand out, or the need to protest,
or the need to belong. These days, kids are quite worried about their future. University has become
very expensive, and the job market isn’t as strong as it used to be. How can anyone focus on creating
a unique style when they’re facing such deep financial concerns?
F.	Sometimes a youth sub-culture can come out of nowhere Take Molly Soda, for example. Molly Soda is
a teenage girl who posted some short films on YouTube that quickly became highly popular. Her style
of dress, with her blue hair and nose piercing, is now copied by thousands of girls who find it cool.
They’re called Molly Soda girls, from a youth sub-culture born overnight!
G.	It is true that youth sub-cultures are like trends. They are born, they gain popularity, and then soon
enough, everyone’s joined in. At that point, they are finished. This timeline used to be much longer
than it is today. Now, with social media, trends spread much faster, which means they die a death much
faster, too. A sub-culture is lucky if it lasts a whole year these days!

The Seven Sisters
After the Second World War, officials in the Soviet Union embarked on a building frenzy to add a grand
architectural style to Moscow’s skyline. As put by Joseph Stalin, the country’s leader who had led the
nation during the war, the Soviet Union was victorious, A.
The Seven Sisters are a collection of seven buildings that Stalin commissioned to be built between 1947
and 1953. His thinking was to have skyscrapers just like existed in Western cities such as New York and
London. It was a matter of prestige for the Soviet nation, he felt, В.
The idea for the first ever Moscow skyscraper had actually come before the Second World War. The
building, the Palace of the Soviets, was never completed. Construction began in 1937, but the German
invasion in 1941 halted work C.
Each of the Seven Sisters has a large base of several floors, with the base size varying from one building
to the next. The upper floors are much less wide than the base, D. The building designs are both
elegant and imposing.
The buildings served various purposes, which have not changed since their erection. Some are hotels,
such as the Hotel Ukraina, E. When it opened in 1957, it was the worlds tallest hotel building.
Other buildings house government ministries, such as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for the Russian
Federation.
Strangely, the term ‘Seven Sisters’ is not used by Russians. Rather, they call the buildings ‘Stalinskie Vysotki’,
or ‘Stalin’s skyscrapers’. The style was replicated in former USSR and Eastern Bloc countries F,
places that were influenced by Stalinist architecture.
1.	and the building materials were removed and used for military defence
2.	with the focus on creating the greatest buildings known to man
3.	and can be seen in Kiev, Warsaw and Bucharest
4.	and it was one of his missions to make that a reality
5.	yet its capital had nothing to show for it
6.	with the top consisting of a tower which narrows to a point
7.	which has since been renamed the Radisson Royal Hotel

Facebook addict
I’ve been a user of Facebook for years, almost since its inception. I should correct myself, actually:
I’ve been a user, abuser and loser of Facebook since King Mark Zuckerberg bestowed his charming gift
upon the world.
I call him a ‘king’ because he virtually rules over my life, and not in the typical way an actual king would,
but in the way I have allowed myself to get sucked into the phenomenon. Let’s face it: the man has more
influence over some people, me being one of them, than some parents have over their own children
I’ve had my ups and downs with Facebook. I’ve gone from having thousands of friends I’d never met
in real life, to deleting my account entirely and starting again from scratch, adding only real friends, as
if that would make my experience more meaningful.
But why would I need Facebook to add depth to my existence? I’ll tell you why ... it’s because Facebook
makes you slightly famous. It’s like having your picture in the paper with a little news story about you,
where you’ve been, what you’re doing, what you bought today. You’re surrounded by all the trappings
of Western society in your status update photos and they’re right there for the whole, um, small network
of your friends to see
I know what you’re thinking ... I’m sad and hopeless, and you’ll never turn out like me. But how many
of you reading this can honestly say you don’t do the same things? Maybe you do it to different degrees,
and maybe you’re even worse. You just have to ask yourself... is there anything wrong with that?
I freely admit that I take pleasure from posting amusing pictures of a night out with friends, or what my
dog’s chewed up on my return from work, or the fantastic rearrangement 1 did of my living room There
was a time when I thought ‘There must be something wrong with me. Surely I can find a better way to
spend my time.’ Apparently I can’t, because I haven’t, so my conclusion is that I never will and I’m better
oft' accepting it than trying to fight it.
Allow me to present a solid case in favour of Facebook addiction ... isn’t it far better than watching TV
for hours on end? Or what about playing video games? That’s much more harmful and pointless, in my
opinion. At feast with Facebook, the things I do are seen by my peers, for better or worse, and my actions
are not completely invisible and meaningless. At feast there’s a purpose, right?
1 suppose we find purpose where we want to find it. One could argue that a TV addiction helps keep you
up-to-date with current events. And maybe a computer game sharpens your physical reflexes. I’ve decided
that I’m a Facebook junkie because I’m a deeply social person. I like sharing opinions, photos, videos, and
links to articles I enjoyed reading. And I’m not ashamed of it!
OK, 1 admit, I might check my Facebook page 100 times a day too many. I might get just a little upset when
no one clicks ‘like’ on any of the random postings I make every day. But I did get 70 ‘likes’ for the photo
I posted of me with my cat in front of my chin, which made me look as if I had a beard. You have to admit,
those sorts of pictures are hilarious, and if they make someone laugh, where s the harm in that?

Task 1 Imagine that you are preparing a project with your friend. You have found some
interesting material for the presentation and you want to read this text to your friend.
You have 1.5 minutes to read the text silently, then be ready to read it aloud.
You will not have more than 1.5 minutes to read it.
One area of the world is particularly prone to earthquakes. The Ring of Fire, as it is
known, circles the Pacific Ocean. It is where some of the largest earthquakes occur.
The Ring of Fire affects countries in North and South America and in Asia. Because
it is on the border of an ocean, large waves of water, or tsunamis, are often triggered
by the quakes. It’s a double disaster. Homes are destroyed where the earthquake strikes.
People living in coastal regions that receive the waves are harmed also.
Although it is difficult to predict earthquakes, the large waves can be predicted.
A warning system is in place in many countries along the Ring of Fire. This gives
residents some time to evacuate. Unfortunately, though, the waves travel extremely fast.
Whoever must leave the area only has a short amount of time.
Task 2 Study the advertisement.
You decided to attend the course and you would like to get more information. In 1.5 minutes
you are to ask five direct questions to find out the following:

2.	Out of style	6.	Dining out
3.	Musical tastes	7.	Exercise routine
4.	Lifting weights	8.	Musical exercise
A.	Forming a band, even if only as a hobby, can be good fun. Of course, it can go beyond that if you get
really good. You can play at festivals, and if the crowd loves you, it’s an amazing experience. It’s even
a great way to get a workout, especially if you’re playing the drums. It takes a lot of energy, and it can
actually help you get fit.
B.	Rugby players need strength to push the other guys round the field. That’s why it’s essential for them to
build muscle mass, and there’s only one way to do that. They’ve got to hit the gym and start pumping
iron. It’s incredibly hard work and it’s not for everyone. They’ve also got to take it slowly, because it’s
not a good idea to lift too much too soon.
C.	It’s important to try new things. In fact, it’s almost necessary, because we get bored with doing the
same thing day in, day out. Luckily we live in a multicultural world. Take food, for example. No matter
where you are, it seems that someone from far away has opened a restaurant featuring cuisine from
their homeland. That’s something different for a change.
D.	In order to get in shape, you have to do more than just go to the gym once a month. You need to go at
least three times a week. You must set up a schedule and stick to it. Even when you work forty hours
a week, you have to arrange to head off after work for gym time. And you should exercise for a set
amount of time with every visit.
E.	Eating at home has its benefits. It’s certainly nutritious - that is, if you’re cooking healthily. But eating
in restaurants is such a great, social experience. It’s something we should do at least once a week. You
can do a lot of people-watching in restaurants, too, so it’s great fun. Not to mention that you don’t have
to cook, and if you want something, someone will fetch it!
F.	Some people don’t dress like other kids from their school because they simply don’t feel like keeping up
with all the latest trends. Trends change every year anyway, if not more often. For some, second-hand
shops are their favourite shopping experience. You can find all sorts of funky clothing there, and who
cares if it’s something most people wouldn’t wear?
G.	The style of music we listen to says a lot about who we are. People who prefer classical music have
refined tastes and an appreciation for the arts. Those who like heavy metal enjoy being energetic when
they listen to music. Fans of pop music enjoy staying up-to-date with trends. And those who like old
music like to imagine what life was like in a different era.

Holiday rental properties
Changes occur in most industries, and travel is no exception. A new trend in temporary accommodation has
gained popularity recently. Its appeal is rooted in peoples desire to find a smart place to stay A.
Traditionally, the most common options were hotels, which came with many amenities, such as room
service, daily room cleaning, and so forth. These days, hotels charge a hefty price for a nights stay.
With so many people on a budget, there is a need В.
The trend of renting out a property, whereby someone owns a home or apartment but has another residence
as their primary home, began to rise in popularity just a few years back. In its earliest phase, property
owners were reluctant to try it out because they were sceptical of a variety of factors, C.
But it seems that phase has run its course for the most part, and more and more people are taking
advantage of the service. It is a positive experience for everyone; property owners make extra money and
renters enjoy more space for less expense. For renters, the experience is not unlike staying in your very
own holiday home D.
Most recently, a website has emerged as one of the leading places for people to either list or locate rental
properties. Known as Airbnb, the company’s profits have skyrocketed since its founding. It’s free to list
a property, and E. Owners can publish several photos of their property and communicate with

Surviving an avalanche
Surviving an avalanche was not on Thomas’s list of things to do in life. A thrill-seeker of epic proportions,
he had jumped from a helicopter to ski remote mountain slopes and traversed half of Antarctica on
a cross-country skiing adventure. If only his wisdom of doing things in packs hadn’t failed him on the day
of his accident.
He had ventured out alone before, and in any case, most of the ski ranges around his mountain home were
littered with forest rangers whose job was to help stranded hikers. So a solo trip by an experienced skier
wasn’t the most dangerous of adventures.
Every seasoned skier is aware of both the risks and the joys involved with skiing off-piste. It’s a different
experience from the snow that’s been packed down into hard ice by the hundreds of other skiers who have
already crossed over it. Movements occur almost in slow-motion as the skier glides in and out of the piles
of powder. It’s an exhausting challenge that requires effort from the skier’s whole body, but a unique one
that hooks a skier after just one run.
Thomas even had special equipment for this particular type of skiing. His well-worn pair of traditional skis
wouldn’t be sufficient, so he’d expended an extra two hundred pounds on a wider set of blades especially
made for skiing in powder.
And it wasn’t as if safety was the last thing on his mind. He’d brought his avalanche kit in case of emergencies.
He wore an airbag that would help to keep him near the surface if he pulled the cord in time, and another
device which would assist him with breathing under snow. The rescue service’s number was programmed
into his mobile phone, and his avalanche transceiver - which emits an emergency signal - was equipped
with fully-charged batteries.
Thomas’s run that day was in familiar territory. He had always skied with a trusted ski buddy, with never
an incident to report. Perhaps he had been lulled into a false sense of security. In fact, he had intended to
ski with a friend that morning. When his friend couldn’t make it, Thomas considered not going himself,
but the snow on the mountain had fallen just the night before, and the lure was too intense.
His run was a wide, bare track of slope nestled between two pine forests - a real skier’s delight, and quite
popular with the locals as well.
They say an avalanche is like a sleeping giant, waiting to be woken up by even the slightest of nudges.
Thomas gave this giant more than a nudge - he skied right over it and before he knew it, he was skiing on
top of it as it slid down the mountain along with him. And if you ski on top of the giant’s mouth, it’s likely
to swallow you whole.
As Thomas sank beneath powder, through his acute panic he managed to pull the cord on his airbag.
The roar of the giant fell silent seconds later, and from beneath the snow it was as if morning had turned
to night. Thomas tried to reach his phone, but his arm might as well have been cast in concrete. Lying
still, his panic slowly shifting to an eerie peacefulness, he did his best to keep his chin up. He even began
to enjoy the dark solitude, even though he knew he might never be found. Luckily for him, the giant had
caught the attention of others, and the transceiver was doing the job it was designed to do.

GUM department stores

as State Department Store, although GUM now stands for Main
Department Store.
The structure on Red Square where GUM is located has been there since
the early 1890s. It’s one of the buildings in the
KNOW
FAMOUS
city of Moscow.
The building is nearly a quarter of a kilometre long. Shops inside the
building are situated on a long corridor with a glass roof, and each
shop sits inside an archway, creating a luxurious shopping experience.

You will not have more than 1.5 minutes to read it.
Dams are large concrete structures that are built across the middle of rivers.
Their purpose is to hold back water, which often creates a lake behind the dam.
They also control the flow of the river and produce electricity.
Dams can be beneficial because they can provide a stable source of water. This water
can be used for farming, for drinking, and even as a habitat for fish and other animals.
Additionally, machines are built into the dam that generate power. This power is created
when the force of the water moves through the dam, causing a turbine to spin and create
an electric current.
On the other hand, dams can cause problems for people who live behind them. Because
a dam causes a river to swell and create a lake, anyone living near the river will have
to relocate. Entire villages have had to be moved because of this reason.
Task Study the advertisement.

A.	A holiday is many things to many people. Some like to be active, while others like to just sit back and
relax. A fun family trip that everyone can enjoy is river rafting. This is where you and your whole
family sink into an inflatable craft on a slow flowing river and just lie back and watch nature as it passes
you by.
B.	Most people put a lot of focus on a holidays specific destination. Others have something else in mind.
They want five-star hotels, fine dining and other niceties at their fingertips. You have to admit, it’s not
a bad idea. Who needs to go sightseeing when you can just get a deep massage, swim in a heated pool
or have chocolate-covered strawberries delivered to your table?
C.	It’s hard to believe someone would want to stay in an ice hotel, but believe it or not, such a thing exists.
There’s one in the most northern regions of Sweden which operates during winter. It’s not as cold as
one would think, as long as you don’t touch the walls! As for day trips, it’s a snowy winter wonderland
as far as the eye can see.
D.	Seeing nature is definitely a good choice for a holiday adventure. One idea is to visit a canyon. Often,
you can walk through the centre of the canyon and see towering cliffs and fascinating rock formations.
It’s a great way to get a bit of exercise as well. Just make sure you’ve got a sturdy pair of boots on for the
rough terrain.
E.	Summer isn’t the only time you can go on a fulfilling holiday. Many winter destinations have much
to keep you entertained. Take skiing trips, for example. A gorgeous drive to the mountains is enough
to take your stress away. Few things are more thrilling than gliding over snow at speed. Even if you’re
afraid of skiing, there’s always the beginner runs. Even little kids give those a try!
F.	Imagine visiting ten different cities in just two weeks. This is the type of holiday you can have on a
cruise ship. Each time the ship pulls into a new port, you get to hop off and explore a new, exotic locale.
And in between stops, you can admire the amazing waters of the world. You may love the water so
much, you never want to return to land!
G.	Some people’s idea of a holiday is very straightforward. All they want is to lie undisturbed on a golden
beach surrounded by crystal blue waters, with an umbrella to shield them from the bright rays. It may
be the typical holiday setting, but you have to admit, it’s very popular for a reason. Just make sure you
pack extra sun cream and a large hat!

The Thames Barrier
Flooding has become a grave concern for many areas of the UK. Possibly due to global warming, it seems
that the UK is getting wetter and wetter as each year passes. Recent rains have ruined thousands of peoples
homes A.
The UK is no stranger to floods. For centuries citizens in London suffered from tidal surges that would
creep up the river Thames and flood the city. For this reason, the British government decided to build
a barrier, known as the Thames Barrier, В.
Built in the late 1970s, the barrier has saved the country billions of pounds in building repairs. It has saved
lives also; the 1928 Thames flood killed 14 people, and 307 people died in the North Sea flood of 1953.
After this, the importance of building C.
The barrier, constructed in southeast London, is a marvel to look at. The concrete barrier supports are
topped with huge domes of polished steel that look very futuristic. The barrier works by tilting large
platforms, D, upwardly into a vertical position in order to block the flow of water. Since its
construction, the floodgates have been closed over 160 times.
The barrier was built with the future in mind, and designed to withstand devastating flood conditions.
At some point, however, it will have to be fortified, as estimates predict that it will lose E. More
will need to be done to extend its usefulness.
The barrier has been successful for London, but it was designed specifically to protect the capital city.
In other regions of the UK, it will take more F.
1.	to protect the country’s wide expanses of rural farmland from flooding
2.	a barrier was thrust to the forefront of government policy

Road trip
The second week of Sarahs road trip proved to be problematic. Even though she had voiced concerns
about her boyfriend’s great idea’ of buying a used van to travel around in, she wasn’t about to say ‘I told
you so’ when it broke down halfway across Kentucky.
She did, however, sigh when Josh asked if she would chip in for repairs. ‘I’m going to have to call my
parents for this, you know,’ she said in a patient yet admonishing tone.
So the pair of them, accompanied by Sarah’s sister, Michelle, and a friend, Shane, were stranded for the
next couple of days in Bardstown, population 11,700. They scrabbled to find something to do to entertain
themselves while they waited for the engine part to arrive. They’d made sleeping arrangements at a quaint
bed and breakfast near the historic district. It was either that or the row of bog standard, characterless
motels out on the interstate highway that Sarah had convinced the others to avoid. ‘The mechanic said
we should check out Bardstown. It might be pretty dull, but how bad can it be?’ she urged the group, not
fully convinced they’d find something better. Michelle, who usually argued for the sake of it, was for once
on board. The guys agreed.
Once the accommodation was taken care of, they set out for the bit of sightseeing that Bardstown had to
offer. They perused the main road, with its dozen or so buildings that had survived from the town’s days
as an early trading post. Each one had its own version of a knick-knack shop. They were charming, and
contrary to Sarah’s gut feeling from before, there were much worse places to be stranded in.
They decided to enter one of the shops. Although more spacious than the others, it was still jam-packed
with stuff. ‘Howdy, folks,’ the shop owner said as they entered, which was not so much ‘Welcome to
Bardstown as ‘You break it, you buy it.’ Sarah suspected it was an age-appropriate comment, as they didn’t
look like the most responsible bunch, despite the opposite being true in her case.
The shop was filled with the typical antique shop items: odd, mismatched china sets, silverware, wooden
furniture, lampshades. The walls had dozens of old paintings only the painter could love and more stuffed
birds than Sarah cared to see. The shop was void of people, eerily quiet, and even though she and Michelle
found humour in the items, they kept their comments to themselves. The guys admired the old hunting
rifles. ‘I hope there aren’t any bullets left in those,’ Michelle quipped, the words jarring the silence.
Less interested in gazing at objects, Sarah decided to strike up a conversation with the owner. ‘Have you
lived here all your life?’ Sarah asked, imagining the answer to be ‘Yes.’
‘My parents were even born here. In fact, there might be more people in town I’m related to than not,’ the
owner said, straight faced. Sarah didn’t know what to make of that comment, but she politely laughed.
‘Where are you guys from?’ he asked. ‘Certainly not from around these parts.’
‘We’re from New Hampshire. On a road trip across America. We’re going to California,’ she said, wondering
if she offered too much information, little as it was.
‘Oh, too many earthquakes out there for me,’ he said. ‘I’ll stay put.’
‘We were wondering where we should get something to eat. Any recommendations?’ she asked genuinely,
but also because she couldn’t think of anything else to say.
‘Everything’s safe to eat around here, except the burger joint out on the highway, next to the mechanic.
Worst place to eat around. Worst mechanic in town, too.’

Altai mountains
Russia’s Altai mountains are situated near the country’s border
with Mongolia, China and Kazakhstan. The mountain range is quite
26 high and difficult to cross.
EXTREME
The mountains were formed as a result of the Indian subcontinent
pushing into southern Asia. There are many fault lines that run through
27 the region, and although it is a rare, the region	OCCUR
sometimes has very large earthquakes.

language. The tallest peak is Belukha mountain, which actually has two
peaks.
One of the peaks reaches a height of 4,440 metres, and the other reaches
 4,506 metres. The mountains are home to several glaciers, lakes and
29 rivers, and many types of plants and animals	DIFFER
are found in its range of habitats.
Many species in the region have existed since the last ice age.
 This is because the Altai mountain range is one of the few places

Horse riding lessons
Learning to ride a horse can be a thrilling, yet challenging experience, as Laura learnt during her early
lessons. She would never have 32
up for the course if it hadn’t been for her boyfriend
urging her to try it, but she’d decided to face her fears and give it a go. 
Her first lesson went fairly well, although it took her half an hour just to 33
the horse,
who could obviously sense her fear and wasn’t keen on helping her out. The instructor told her, ‘Don’t be
frightened. Just try to 34  him that you’re in control. He won’t throw you.’ She eventually
managed it and rode for a full hour, so it was a successful day after all.
Her next few lessons went fairly smoothly. The area where she practised was an open meadow
surrounded by trees and a river. It was a safe place to learn, but still, she had to be mindful
hazards such as rocks and the occasional wild animal.
On one particular day, her horse came
threw Laura to the ground, just as her instructor had said it wouldn’t. ‘I’m terribly sorry about that,’ he said.
Laura was a good 37
too!’ She ended the day a bit
unhurt and determined to continue riding.

Task	Imagine that you are preparing a project with your friend. You have found some
interesting material for the presentation and you want to read this text to your friend.
You have 1.5 minutes to read the text silently, then be ready to read it aloud.
You will not have more than 1.5 minutes to read it.
Many insects have the ability to taste things with different parts of their bodies.
They have sensors in these body parts, usually in the form of tiny hairs. These act
similarly to the taste buds in our tongues.
A fly is one type of insect that can taste things just by landing on it. This is because it has
taste receptors in the hairs on its feet. In fact, when a fly rests upon a surface that is some
kind of food, the fly’s mouth will open automatically as a reflex action. Another insect
that can perform the same function is a butterfly.
Some insects can taste things using the thin hairs on their antennae. Honey bees
and wasps are two such creatures. In the same way that they taste things, they can also
use these hairs to smell odours that pass through the air.
Task 2 Study the advertisement.
You are considering visiting the restaurant and you would like to get more information.

A.	Some people might think working round the house is an easy thing, but these people obviously don’t
do very much of it. When you have to tidy up a living room full of kids’ toys, clean bookshelves covered
in dust and prepare a meal for suppertime, it can be exhausting. You can’t do it alone, so you’ve got
to employ your family to help. Still, they don’t always do their jobs!
B.	Being a florist is a rewarding job. It’s almost like being a decorator of plants. You make all sort
of arrangements in a variety of colours for special occasions like weddings and Mother’s Day, and
naturally, you have to be a lover of all things green. You’ve got to make sure all the plants stay healthy
otherwise it’s hard to make a sale.
C.	Working as a TV newsreader has its ups and downs. The up side is if you love communicating and
think you do it well, it’s the perfect job for you On the other hand, it can be quite stressful being on
camera often, especially when you don’t feel like it. Additionally, the news is often not pleasant to
report on, so you’ve got to keep a stiff upper lip.
D.	If you’re looking for some extra money, you might want to consider working for a few hours after
school. Lots of places are keen on employing young people, and the work schedule can be quite flexible.
A student has a busy life, so you probably couldn’t do more than ten or twelve hours a week, but it’s
a great way to earn some cash and learn responsibility.
E.	For many adults, the first thing to do every morning is to grab a cup of coffee and sit down with the
news. Whether it be reading a paper or the internet, it seems to be a habit for lots of people. The news
has a way of kicking your mind into gear, along with the coffee, of course, and then once you’ve had
your fill, it’s off to get ready for work.
F.	Whereas some people don’t mind doing housework, for others, it’s a real bother. They prefer being
outside, and if they’ve got a big garden to tend to, there’ll be many tasks to keep them entertained, such
as planting seeds, pruning trees and doing the watering. There’s something they can do outside every
day, and they never get bored with it
G.	There are lots of different class trips a teacher can take students on, like visiting a newspaper or a bank
to see how things are run. An interesting way to learn about nature is a trip to the zoo. The kids see lots
of different kinds of animals, and they can learn about where they’re from. It’s just one of many class
trip ideas.

Petrushka
Petrushka is a character from Russian folk puppetry. Traditionally dressed in red, with a red kolpak,
or pointed hat, Petrushka was a humorous fellow A.
Petrushka first came to life, so to speak, sometime in the 18th century during Empress Anna Ioannovna’s
reign. In the Empress’s court was a man named Pietro Mira Pedrillo, of Italian descent, В.
It was this man’s character and style that became the basis for Petrushka. In fact, the name Petrushka is
a diminutive form of the name Pyotr (Peter, or Pietro in Italian).
In the beginning, Petrushka was intended for an adult audience. The plots of the puppets theatrical
plays were about a variety of common, meaningful occurrences in a Russian’s life: a visit to a medical
practitioner, learning military service, or a marriage ceremony, to name a few. The plots employed the use
of interactive humour C.
Over time, puppet theatre moved away from adult-themed entertainment and towards children’s fare.
Because of this, some of the long running and less savoury characters had to be retired. Still, the humour
of the shows was considered sharp-witted enough D.
An interesting aspect of Petrushka, as with other puppet shows, is his unusual voice, made to sound
like a funny whistle, or kazoo. This would add a buzzing sound to the character’s speech, E.
Mr Punch of Punch and Judy shows in the UK is one character with a similar voice.
Petrushka was famously made into a ballet in 1911 by Russian ballet composer Igor Stravinsky. The ballet
tells a coming-to-life story of the puppet F.
1.	to provide entertainment for both children and their parents
2.	and follows his journeys as he discovers his thoughts and emotions
3.	to force many puppeteers to seek alternative sources of income
4.	who entertained the empress during leisurely afternoons
5.	which could also be heard in famous puppet shows of other countries
6.	whose persona was based on the personality of a court jester
7.	which allowed the audience to participate in the various shows

The job of a butler
The job of а 21 st century butler was underappreciated in society, but in carrying out the role Mr Wainwright
found a type of magnificence which contradicted that lack of respect. His ability to be a silent yet highly
perceptive presence amongst the upper classes, whilst performing his duties immaculately, was his
proof.
He understood why he might be looked down upon by others; servitude wasn’t equated with prestige,
unlike other jobs such as surgeon or architect. And society’s general disdain for the very privileged meant
those who served them were like slaves to the enemy. He could leave his job at any time, however, and his
salary rivalled his prestigious counterparts in the outside world’.
What he wasn’t allowed to do was be less than perfect. A butler was the boss of all the other service staff
and he hadn’t arrived at the position overnight. The others around him - the valet, the footman, the hall
boy - could make small mistakes and seemingly get away with it, that is until the earl took notice and had
a word with Mr Wainwright, which he would pass on to them. The admonishment was more like a slap
on the wrist, thanks to his kindly nature, however.
The butler had to know what was going to happen before it happened. Anticipation was the top job skill
- not something you’re taught at school. It was a life lesson, one most people rarely learn. Even at butler
training, this skill would be one you would just have to ‘pick up’. They’d tell you that you need to do this,
but it was up to the individual to work out how they’d achieve it. Sacrificing your own needs to attend to
the needs of others was a large part of it.
Besides being well paid for his service, there were certain other rewards for being a butler. The workspace
was an elegant turn-of-the-century mansion, which Mr Wainwright admired deeply but had grown so
accustomed to he took for granted, aside from its upkeep. The endless array of dignitaries that passed
through the halls meant experiencing - if only from the sidelines - a slice of society most people would
never come across. The butlers living quarters were well furnished, if meagre in space. But the butler -
in fact, all the staff - dined much like the nobility. They partook of the same fine meals that went upstairs,
even if they consumed them downstairs. That was what Mr Wainwright savoured the most.
Every bit as delicate as the household procedures was Mr Wainwright’s relationship with the earl. Their
exchanges were often friendly, but it was understood that they were not ‘friends’, nor could Mr Wainwright
ever wish for that. The lady of the house was technically the person he reported to. Lady Channing was
the one who’d elevated him to his exalted position, and who would defend him against any of the earl’s
misgivings about his service, of which there were few.
Mr Wainwright had settled on a life of service, disregarding other opportunities, not only because of his
rare ability to serve others while remaining largely unseen, but also because of his deep-seated need to be
needed himself. Praise, however, was rare in Channing Manor - the perfunctory ‘Thank you, Wainwright’
was as commonplace as afternoon tea. The very promotion from footman to butler had only included the
words ‘I’d like you to be our butler’ followed by ‘This is what you will do’. It was years later, when Lady
Channing, in a moment of humility, said, T don’t know what I would do without you,’ that Mr Wainwright
was reminded of his wise choice.

Green living
For years, city planners in Sweden have been creating green
26 communities. These are places that use energy
and cut down on waste.
WISE
27 In fact, what was once a dirty site has been	INDUSTRY
transformed into this kind of community. The area, known as Western
Harbour, is found in Sweden’s third largest city, Malmo.
The area is a marvel when it comes to clean living. It has hardly
any streets for cars; homes are linked by walkways and buses provide
28	a regular to the city centre.	CONNECT
Homes were designed with ‘green points’ in mind. A ‘green point’
could be a plot of ground for growing vegetables, a nest box for birds
29	or a in which residents can plant flowers.	CONTAIN
Each home is required to have ten green points.
The community is powered by 100% renewable energy. Solar panels
collect energy from the sun and a nearby wind turbine provides
30	an supply of electricity.	END
More than just being green, architects made sure the housing
31 was pleasant to look at. Its combination
of modern, futuristic design with more traditional styles helps make
Western Harbour a joy to live in.

You will not have more than 1.5 minutes to read it.
Astronomers are constantly discovering new things in our solar system. Some of the
newest findings involve water sources. These findings are of tremendous importance,
as water is the key element for life to exist.
Some of these water sources have recently been found on objects that we’ve already
learned quite a lot about. The moon, to which man has actually travelled, seems to
have frozen pools of water present in a few areas. Mars, on which probes have landed
on the surface, is believed to have enormous amounts of frozen water in its ice caps.
Other objects further from Earth are believed to contain water. Some of the moons
of Jupiter and Saturn are thought to have very large, undersea lakes deep below their
icy surface. Whether or not life exists in these places is yet to be revealed.
Ta! Study the advertisement.
You are considering buying the item and you would like to get more information.

A.	For sports fans, attending a sporting event is often an amazing experience. They get to shout and
cheer for their team amongst a huge group of like-minded supporters. But then there are those rare
moments, in a baseball game, for example, when the hitter knocks the ball into the stands. That’s why
some spectators bring gloves, in the rare event that they become part of the game.
B.	People like different sports for different reasons. Most fans of tennis talk about how it’s filled with
a lot of action. If you’ve got two great tennis legends playing, watching them hit the ball back and forth
across the net really holds your attention. You’re waiting for one of them to slip up, and you can’t take
your eye off the ball!
C.	For many people, visiting a stadium to see a game is not feasible within their schedule. Instead, they
stay at home and watch it on the TV with a group of friends while they enjoy snacks and cheer for their
team. Sometimes it seems as if too many people have had the same idea, so you’re watching your team
play but you can’t help but notice there’s hardly anyone in the stands!
D.	Occasionally you hear about this in the news - fans of a certain football team, who love their team
seemingly more than life itself, get into huge fights with supporters of the other team It often has
a terrible ending, too. It’s hard to believe people can behave so stupidly sometimes. It’s enough to make
you not want to visit a sporting event.
E.	The whole idea of a competition is that someone wins, and someone doesn’t. But sometimes the latter
person in that equation doesn’t take it too well. They throw a fit, and storm off the field or court.
It doesn’t help the situation, and it looks very bad. If only they realised what fools they’re making
of themselves, they might not behave that way
F.	Sporting events are really popular, and radio shows know this. That’s why they host programmes where
you can call in for a chance to win tickets to your favourite match. Usually they ask some sort of trivia
question, like who scored the winning goal in the last World Cup, for example. If you’re the first to call
in and get the answer right - congratulations! You’re going to a football match!
G. It’s so frustrating when you’re watching your favourite team play and they get robbed of a goal. Take
football, for example. Players have to get the ball past the line in front of the net. If the goalie stops the
ball before it passes the line, the team won’t get the goal What if the ball looks as if it crosses over, but
the referee rules against your team? Oh, the anger!

Leaning Big Ben
Is Big Ben becoming the British version of the Leaning Tower of Pisa? Surveys of the famous UK landmark
in recent years have proven what can barely be seen by the naked eye. Although it is far smaller than
the Tower of Pisa’s tilt of almost four degrees, Big Ben is A.
Officials in government seem to be brushing off concerns that the clock tower is in danger of collapsing.
They may be right. Considering the tower in Pisa has been leaning for centuries and has yet to fall,
В.
If anything, Big Ben’s ever-so-slight lean is a fascinating sight to see, if you can in fact notice it. An onlooker
standing in Parliament Square looking head on at the tower might perceive an extremely minor lean
to the left C.
The government is not entirely unconcerned about the stability of the tower. However they state that,
in light of extensive structural surveys of the building, no immediate risk is present, D.
The tower is leaning in part due to the construction of an underground railway line beneath the structure as
well as a car park. In fact, though, many buildings, regardless of what structures are underneath, undergo
changes as they age. Most old buildings have a few cracks in them, and E .
This isn’t the first structural issue the tower has encountered in its over 150-year life In 1976, the weights
that control the workings of the clock snapped off and fell down the clock shaft. The clock actually exploded
inside F. Luckily no one was hurt, as the accident happened at 4 am.
1.	towards a faster, more economical way of repairing the tower
2.	in fact, the Houses of Parliament are cracking a bit themselves
3.	towards Bridge Street rather than towards the Houses of Parliament
4.	and repairs took nearly nine months to be completed
5.	meaning building reinforcements can wait until after the next elections
6.	in fact leaning by about 0.26 degrees, according to reports
7.	worrying about Big Ben’s immediate demise is likely to be a waste of energy

Farm life for a city dweller
Alan had not spent much of his life on a farm. There had been short visits in the summers to his cousins’
farm in Devon, but he had never actually done any labour. He and his parents would stay for a couple
of days, ride horses, have some nice meals and head back to London. His aunt had always said kindly
and generously, ‘Why don’t you stay with us for the whole summer? We’ll teach you how to milk the
cows.’ He would just chuckle and answer with a polite but mildly sarcastic response, ‘Oh, don’t tempt me,
Aunt Jean.’
During his penultimate year at secondary school, he began to take more of an interest in nature. He decided
that the upcoming summer would be the perfect opportunity to spend more time on the farm. He made
the arrangements with his elated aunt and uncle, packed two months-worth of clothes and set off for
the country.
Despite not having spent much time on a farm, Alan knew it would not be an easy experience. As a child
he had noticed his aunt and uncles weathered hands. At the time he didn’t know why, but as he grew older
he came to realise the reason. ‘That’s what farming does to you,’ his mum confirmed when he asked her
about it.
Still, hard work aside, Alan was curious about all the various tasks a farm had to offer He resisted the urge
to behave like a tourist, even though he knew that after the two months had finished, he’d return to his
privileged life in the city, where the most difficult manual labour was carrying a rucksack over his shoulder.
But there were some things he wasn’t prepared for. Farming can be remarkably dirty work.
His aunt and uncle’s farm had a variety of animals to tend to, as well as an extensive vegetable garden.
His aunt spent hours every day weeding the garden. It was not something that could be done in one day,
or even one week. There was no end to the number of unwanted plants that grew alongside the wanted
ones. But Alan spent more time with his uncle and the animals. The stables housed the horses, which,
these days, were less like a second set of farm workers and more like pets, and there were fields of sheep,
cattle and a chicken coop. He, his uncle and his cousin Fred would ride in his uncle’s lorry and unload
bales of hay in the fields for the cows. They had to feed them, and the other animals, as often as they
themselves needed to eat.
The feeding of animals, the collecting of chicken eggs from the coop, even the shearing of sheep was all
child’s play, and was perhaps as deep into farm life as Alan wanted to venture. The holding pens had to
be cleaned, though, and even worse was the sad fact about animal farming, which was that some animals
weren’t long for this world. This particular aspect wasn’t something that Alan could muster the strength
to endure. When the time came, he bowed out, feeling in the end more cowardly than sorrowful.
His uncle understood. Alan wasn’t from the farm, and he couldn’t expect him to accept every aspect of the
life in just a few short weeks. ‘There are many things I would rather not do out here, but it’s part and
parcel of the life,’ his uncle tried to explain. ‘People take these things for granted when somebody else does
the work for them.’ While Alan respected his uncle’s words, he spent more and more time in the garden
as the weeks went by.

4)	wondering if his own hands would eventually look that way.

but rather, from underneath the ground. Believe it or not, there are
underground rivers and layers of rock which contain water beneath

Pressure from underneath these water sources pushes the water
to the surface. In other cases, people have drawn the water out

An oasis can be quite small, only able to support a limited number

Sometimes she’d just say, ‘I’ll give you £20 for this.’ Never mind that it was marked £22.50. Any reduction
in price was a win. You’d think she was trying to cut 35
like a game.
Occasionally she’d meet her
attempt Natalie made. In the end, though, she would pass on it if she didn’t get what she wanted.

Task 1 Imagine that you are preparing a project with your friend. You have found some
interesting material for the presentation and you want to read this text to your friend.
You have 1.5 minutes to read the text silently, then be ready to read it aloud.
You will not have more than 1.5 minutes to read it.
Robots are beginning to enter the field of surgical medicine, even if only for a limited
number of operations. There are great advantages to using robots in surgery.
Firstly, robots are useful for extremely delicate moves during an operation. A human
surgeons hand, while skilful, has only limited capability of making a precise incision
or manoeuvre. A robot also allows operations to be carried out on a much smaller scale,
leading to better results and less stress on the patient s body.
Secondly, robots do not suffer from fatigue. A machine can perform a particular
operation numerous times and never tire. Surgeons, on the other hand, must complete
their tasks before they lose their energy. Of course, robots cannot replace a human
surgeon entirely, but they can provide assistance for specific techniques.
Task 2 Study the advertisement.
You are considering joining the gym and you would like to get more information.
In 1.5 minutes you are to ask five direct questions to find out the following:

A.	If you’re looking for investment opportunities, there are various money magazines that can help you
put your money in the right place. Everyone wants to make the most of their hard-earned cash and no
one can afford to lose it all on a bad trading venture. If you read up on the financial industry and seize
on the good trends, you’ll be laughing all the way to the bank.
B.	Staying in a hotel isn’t always luxurious, but it should at least be clean. No one likes using a basin or
shower that’s got a bit of dirt in it, and bed sheets should be fresh and well-made. Even if the room
starts off clean, it can soon become messy if the maid service doesn’t come every day. Every hotel
should been kept neat and in good order.
C.	If you’ve ever had to move to the other side of the world, you’ll know it can take a long while to adjust,
especially to simple things like the weather. If you’re used to experiencing four distinct seasons in the
year, then you move to the tropics, you might find yourself missing the snow. Naturally, if you hated
snow in the first place, the warm weather would be a welcome experience.
D.	Some people have to watch what they eat because their system simply won’t allow them to tolerate
some things. For example, there are people who are allergic to dairy products, so they must avoid milk
and anything made from it. Other people are prone to high cholesterol, so they have to avoid meat a bit
more often than others. Anyone who suffers from a wheat allergy has to avoid certain breads.
E.	Hotels have to modernise just like everything else. Why go on holiday and stay in a place that makes
you feel as though you’ve stepped back into the 1970s? It may be clean and professionally staffed, but
its not nice to look at orange curtains or flowery carpets. If a hotel spends a little money and updates
its image, people will be more likely to stay there and come back.
E There are many difficult things about moving, especially when it comes to unpacking. Its helpful
if you’ve got every box labelled, but still, if you’ve just moved in and you’re in a hurry for something,
it can be quite frustrating trying to find it. You have to stop and think, "Where did I put it?’ It’s probably
best to get everything unpacked straight away and put it in the right place.
G. If a company is not doing well, perhaps it’s wise to hire an advisor. This person can tell the directors
how much they should be spending on one or more expenses, and how they can better organise their
company. After all, a company cant continue to succeed if it’s not able to hold onto the money that
comes into it.

Konstantin Melnikov
Early 20th century art movements made a sharp break from the artistic styles of the previous century
One such movement gave us the term avant-garde’, A.
During this period in Russian culture, the architect Konstantin Melnikov established himself within the
avant-garde movement. Born in Moscow in 1890, he started out as an icon painter. A chance meeting
with famous engineer Vladimir M. Chaplin, who asked Melnikov to work for him, gave him his golden
opportunity in life. Chaplin was so impressed with Melnikov s abilities В.
After twelve years of study, Melnikov began designing buildings in the neoclassical style before moving
on to more contemporary work. He was selected to design the Soviet pavilion at the 1925 Paris Exposition
of Modern Decorative and Industrial Art. His pavilion was widely considered one of the most progressive
buildings at the exposition. Constructed using the most efficient methods, C.
In the late 1920s Melnikov designed a series of garages. A feature of the design allowed for slanted
parking, in which a vehicle would pull in diagonally D. The floors of the garage were shaped like
a parallelogram and the exterior was given an avant-garde appearance.
Melnikov later designed a number of buildings used by workers’ unions. He included the use of overhangs,
E. This gave a building a very dramatic appearance that seemingly defied gravity.
Melnikov’s private residence has become one of his masterpieces. The property consists of two
wide cylindrical towers which have been stuck together. The biggest room features 38 hexagonal-shaped
windows, F.
1.	which are structures that extend from higher floors out beyond the lower ones
2.	and his style often did not conform to any precise rules of architecture

Dream job
It wasn’t my first interview by any means, but I had never wanted a job as much as I wanted this one.
For years I had been floating from one job to the next, not sure of what I wanted to do in life but needing
some way to afford living on my own, I had filled many temporary positions and a few permanent ones,
or at least ones that the employers considered to be permanent, even though I didn’t think of them in that
way I had met many interesting people and made a few friends, but I’d never felt that I’d found a post that
suited me. Interestingly enough, many of the friends I’d made along the journey felt the same way
I had worked in a restaurant serving food, in an insurance office reviewing peoples claims, at a PR firm
thinking of ways to impress important people, and even on a construction site building homes. An odd
set of skills you might think, and none of them really appropriate for the job I was going for now - forest
conservation. This was an area I’d been passionate about as a teenager, but didn’t think I could ever make
a living from. Now I’d decided to give it a chance. Some of the skills I’d picked up along the way had even
been in direct conflict with it, such as the pounding of nails into wood. Those poor trees! Now I’d be
in charge of saving them. Well, I hoped I would be anyway.
I’d done a lot of preparation for this one interview, this one shot at fulfilling my destiny I tried not to be
too dramatic - naturally there were other interviews to be had, or so I had to think, to take some of the
pressure off. I had searched for this job for over a year, even considering moving across the country, onlv
to decide to wait until something came up round here. It wasn’t easy to get your foot in the door in this
line of work. And not just anyone could do it, hence my two years of graduate work.
There was no telling how many other people were vying for this position. The number of CVs that office
received must have been in the hundreds. It’s tough finding a job these days, let alone the job you want.
But we mustn’t let things like that stop us from getting what we want out of life. I’ve resigned myself to
believing that if there’s something you really want, you have to really focus on getting it, and that means
blocking out discouraging thoughts. I had to believe that the job was mine, despite the pain I might have
to endure if I didn’t get it.
I imagined the interviewers to be a great bunch of guys. Here they were, doing what they loved to do.
Certainly there was gratification to be found in any job, even in the jobs I mentioned before. But dignitv
and self-respect depend on your own view of life, and how you see yourself as a benefit to the world.
And of course, what you feel would satisfy you the most personally.
So I would do my best to convey these feelings during the hour or so I had with the directors, and cross
my fingers for a call back. I suppose everyone passing through their doors would be doing the same thing,
but if I could express my deepest passion for preserving forests, which I’ve realised was my destiny all
along, surely I would be doing myself the biggest favour.

Listening to the radio
Many of us get our news and entertainment from television and the
Internet. You might be surprised to learn, then, that people who listen
to the radio are much happier than people who
use the other media outlets.
It makes perfect sense when you think about it. Television and the
Internet offer entertainment, but negative activity
in the mix as well. We sometimes see saddening news reports, and we do
tedious things online, such as check account balances.
With radio, people listen to it because they want to feel good. It seems
that in recent years we about the joy radio gives
us because we focus on television and the Internet so much.

on a campaign called ‘Talk to me London, because the cits’ has been
26 accused of being.
FRIEND
28
The idea is to change the perception of London. The founders of the
believe talking is something we all love to do,
but many people are afraid to talk to people they don’t know.
MOVE
The group behind ‘Talk to me London is a collection of people from
backgrounds, such as business, design, media
and other fields. Their work on the project is voluntary.
VARY
The project has attracted some attention in the press. Some people
find it to be a pleasant idea, but others have dismissed the idea

wouldn’t have to talk to people!

Of course, one of the benefits of living in a big city is that you can remain
anonymous. However, by rarely talking to anyone, you risk suffering

Bradley Jones, Artist Wannabe
Bradley had always wanted to be an artist. It was something he’d fantasised
never really explored. He decided, though, that he could still try.
He wanted to enrol in a painting class at a local college, but he ran into a problem. ‘You have to take
our design and drawing courses first,’ the administrator told him.
Luckily, it wasn’t too late to take those courses, but it meant that Bradley would have to [^33^

You will not have more than 1.5 minutes to read it.
Solar panels are a commonly used form of technology which harness power from the
sun. They work by converting sunlight into electricity. However, most solar panels only
convert about 20% of the incoming energy. This is because they can only capture certain
wavelengths of light.
Advances are being made in the field of solar panel technology. Recently a solar cell was
manufactured that can convert almost 45% of the rays’ energy. The panel consists of
different layers of material, and each layer can absorb a certain wavelength of light. The
panels also have lenses, which magnify the power of the sunlight. As the sunlight passes
through the layers, it strikes conductors, which create electrical fields. These electrical
fields produce a current of electricity.

A.	Family reunions can be a joyous occasion and an opportunity to meet new family members as well.
Our parents have aunts, uncles and cousins that we may only meet once or twice in life. Often, though,
meeting an extended family member can be like meeting a complete stranger. You’re not even sure you
will like them, and the whole affair can feel a bit odd or uncomfortable.
B.	Traditionally, the mother is the primary caregiver to an infant child. She takes time off work and stays
at home to provide round-the-clock attention during the child’s early years. But recently, more and
more men are taking paternity leave from work to stay at home with their new-borns. Mothers find it
a welcome trend, as caring for an infant can be exhausting work.
C.	While it’s true that kids must carry out their responsibilities just as adults do, sometimes Mum and
Dad have to be a bit crafty to make it happen. They have to offer a little reward for a job well done.
It may not be good practice to do it all the time, but if they promise a trip to the cinema, for example,
the kids will be more likely to clean their rooms.
D.	Many families live far away from one another these days. They may have moved across the country,
or even to the other side of the world. It’s especially hard for parents to see their children do this, either
for work or for adventure. So when special occasions come round, especially the holidays seasons, Mum
and Dad are so grateful when their sons and daughters return home.
E.	Sometimes a household is nothing but chaos for days on end. This is especially true when kids reach
their adolescent phase, and you have a couple of teenagers who compete over every little thing in life.
No matter how often parents attempt to stop two kids from fighting each other, nothing seems to work.
They just have to wait until one of them moves away to university!
E In most families, parents have to constantly remind their children of their responsibilities. But there
are times when kids can be especially7 useful round the house of their own will. They also understand
those times when Mum or Dad isn’t feeling well, and may7be it would be nice if they^ made dinner
for a change or did a little extra tidying up in the living room.
G. Relationships in the family are complex. Parents are the carers of their children, but they are their
friends, too, and in both senses they would never do anything to hurt them. But parents must never
forget their role as figures of authority. They have to explain what’s right and wrong and make sure
their kids do it. They’ve also got to provide the punishment when their kids behave badly.

Global financial crises
A global financial crisis affects people all over the world, but to very different degrees. Some people are
lucky enough only to hear about it, while others are plunged into economic uncertainty, A.
A crisis occasionally arises from sudden bad decisions, but the cause is usually a collection of bad policies
operated over an extended period. The financial crisis of 2008 was a result of a loosening of rules among
banks. Changes in those regulations began during the 1980s, В financial transactions with little
supervision.
The system of regulation became one of trust; it was up to the banks to behave wisely, and the governments
would stay out of it. The regulation of banks was, in a sense, left up to the free market, C.
It allowed for transactions to flow more freely, which did in fact help economies grow during the 1980s
and 1990s.
When the financial markets first ran into trouble, large banking institutions failed altogether, D.
A small number of the worlds most wealthy people suffered greatly. But overall, the middle class and
the poor suffered the worst of the crisis.
The 2010 Eurozone crisis is thought to be connected to the 2008 one. Governments that had borrowed
enormous amounts to pay for problems caused two years earlier suddenly found themselves unable to
support the debt. The Eurozone crisis was as severe as the one in 2008 E. More people would
suffer as a result.
There is little that can be done to immediately fix a global financial crisis. Individuals can prepare for such
an event by F. Naturally, everyone must fight to make sure governments put sensible banking
policies in place before problems occur.
1.	keeping money in savings and making sure they stay out of debt
2.	and many policymakers felt this would be sufficient
3.	and added yet another layer of uncertainty to world financial markets
4.	resulting in the loss of their job, home or livelihood
5.	which many people had saved for a number of years
6.	which caused a domino effect that spread around the world
7.	a decade when governments decided to let banks carry out

Ellen
Ellen had suddenly become determined to change the appearance of her home. It had been two years since
she’d graduated from university, and she was still living like a student. She had too much plastic furniture
in the living room, books and magazines were scattered all over the place, the laundry area looked like an
exploded wardrobe on a daily basis and a light layer of dust covered most surfaces. Tidying up was not
really her cup of tea, and until now, she had become complacent with her dated belongings.
It wasn’t that she was an unclean person, quite the contrary Her personal appearance was immaculate; she
had her hair and nails done on a regular basis. Her sense of style and clothing were a bit trendy, perhaps
a bit Bohemian, and she always looked as professional enough for her job managing a bookshop as was
required. This she gave her full attention to.
She simply didn’t invest enough time in her home. It was sporadically decorated: a couple of film posters
were taped up, absent of frames and curling up at the bottom edges, an old dartboard hung in the corner,
a message board with bills pinned on it adorned the kitchen. Needless to say, her flat wouldn’t be featured
in an interior design magazine any time soon, nor would she be winning any prizes in a home decorating
contest.
She decided to take control of the situation, so she made a plan to tackle her unruly and unstylish flat, and
set aside some time to get things in order. She arranged with her co-manager to have a work-free weekend
in which she was going to clean every nook and cranny and throw out anything that screamed student’.
The only exceptions were the university textbooks she had haphazardly thrown in a bookcase. She was a
bookshop manager, after all. She would hold onto almost any book she happened to possess, save for some
of the tattered paperback sci-fi novels that littered the floor.
Knowing she might run out of steam on the project if she were left to her own devices, she enlisted the
help of her friend Amy, who would ensure she stayed the course and completed her home transformation.
Amy a dear friend since Ellens secondary school days, was part of the reason for Ellens decision to do this
home makeover. Amy often made light-hearted jokes about the state of affairs in Ellens house, especially
when Ellen would complain about how long it would take her to find her keys in the morning.
Full of ambition on Friday evening, Ellen bought an array of new cleaning supplies and some implements
such as dusters, a new broom and even a mop. Content with just sweeping before, Ellen had now decided
the floors needed a good wash. The same would go for the windows. No longer would the spotty glass have
to be covered up by curtains.
But while Ellen had a practical step-by-step approach to her plan, Amy turned up at her house on Saturday
morning with half a dozen design magazines, wanting to flick through them and admire how things
should be, rather than how they were. It didn’t take much for Ellen to be persuaded to peruse them with
her friend. A couple of hours passed by before they left the well-worn sofa.
The afternoon rolled round at Ellens place, and she had still not got down to brass tacks. She had done
precisely 0% of the cleaning, although there was plenty of talk about it, if only that were enough to make
it happen.

Buranovskiye Babushki
If you’ve been watching the Eurovision Song Contest in the last
_____ few years, you might remember this singing group. They stood out
26 । from the rest because they were not the entrant
in the contest.
TYPE
Most entrants are usually quite young and very trendy. They’re dressed
27 [ in clothing - or at least they try to be, and they	FASHION
perform wild dance routines on occasion.
Buranovskiye Babushki breaks from that mould. They’re a group
of eight elderly Russian women, or grannies’, which is ‘babushki’
in Russian. Most of them are in their sixties and seventies, and their
28 | at the 2012 Eurovision Song Contest got
the second highest number of votes.
PERFORM
29
Their music is sung in the Udmurt language, an official language
in the region of Udmurtia, where the grannies are from. The Udmurt
alphabet is the same as the Russian alphabet.
LARGE
Buranovskiye Babushki’s song entry was called ‘Party for Everybody’
and most of the song was in Udmurt, with a few English lyrics.
___ The group wrote the Udmurtian lyrics themselves, and the English parts
30 | were written by an songwriter.

The lone tree
When an old tree just outside Dianas village fell down after a particularly bad storm, it was as ir
the whole community fell with it. The tree was beloved by the local people, so they set Гз2; 
on a mission to save it.
Although heavily damaged by the storms gale force wind and forced down onto the ground, the 20< *
year-old tree was not dead. After weeks of community members climbing the hill to [зз] 
their respects, they noticed that it was still growing. Green needles remained on its branches. The villager
believed it could be saved.
Diana and her family contacted officials who were knowledgeable about the [ 34 [  of tree^
and the environment. They visited the village to see what could be done. After carefully [ 35 |ffic
roots, they decided that with enough soil placed around the roots, the tree might just survive and grow agam
‘Even though the small roots have snapped off, there’s one large root that’s still connected,’ the expcr
told Diana. ‘We mustn’t be careless | 36 I  how we handle the existing root system. The tree ?
going to need lots of care and attention.’
The expert discussed the situation with the local people and explained that under 37 [ 
circumstances should anyone try to place the tree back in an upright position. Naturally, everyone

Diana hoped the tree - which her grandparents had known as children - would one day grow
again, if not with the same grandeur as it once had.

Task 1
Imagine that you are preparing a project with your friend. You have found some
interesting material for the presentation and you want to read this text to your friend.
You have 1.5 minutes to read the text silently, then be ready to read it aloud.
You will not have more than 1.5 minutes to read it.
In medical schools, doctors use plastic models to teach students the specific names
and functions of body parts. But one professor in the USA is using hands sculpted
by a 19th century French sculptor.
The artist was very passionate about the human form. He created highly detailed hands
from bronze. In addition to that, he was curious about medical conditions that affected
hands. Because of this, he actually sculpted sets of hands that had been deformed by
these conditions. Doctors can show these hands to students and test students’ abilities
to recognise the problems. A computer program allows students to see where bones
and blood vessels would be situated in the hands.
The method is very useful for teaching diseases of the hand. It also doubles as a rich
experience in fine art.
Task 2 Study the advertisement.

8.	Helping the community
A.	Have you ever had a friend who asks for favours all the time, but rarely gives them in return? They
don’t think twice about asking you to do something for them, and whenever you bring up the problem,
they brush it off as if it’s no big deal. Or they say that’s what friends are for, to help one another. It’s then
that you realise they’re not much of a friend.
B.	Joining a neighbourhood clean-up effort is an inspiring thing to do. It’s a direct way of making
a difference in your world, and it helps improve your living standards. It’s also a great opportunity for
getting to know the people who live near you, which might be useful when you’re in need, and vice
versa. If your neighbourhood doesn’t do this sort of thing, now’s the time to start.
C.	If you’ve ever had your identity stolen, you’re not alone. It happens to millions of people every year, and
thieves gain millions of pounds from the activity. It often happens because a hacker has broken into
our accounts by way of a computer virus we accidentally downloaded. If it happens to you, make sure
you let your banks know to get your bank cards cancelled, and tell the police.
D.	Belonging to a social network is a useful pastime. It gives us an opportunity to share our thoughts
and news with a like-minded group of individuals all at once. We can even meet new people who
either agree with our ideas or contribute to a constructive debate. It’s entertaining to read everyone’s
posts, which are sometimes funny but can also be thought-provoking, or maybe even sad. It’s a useful
experience nonetheless.
E.	Whenever you go abroad, you must keep an eye on your belongings. You don’t want to become a victim
of pick-pocketing. A useful tip is to place your money in your front pocket, as it’s less likely to be stolen
there. It’s also wise to have your passport put away safely, or kept inside your jacket. Keep things zipped
up, and never leave a bag unattended.
F.	When we discard plastic items carelessly, an animal may find it and have an unfortunate incident.
For example, the plastic rings that go round a six-pack of drinks cans can get stuck round a small
animal’s neck. The animal might wear that piece of plastic for the rest of its life, or until someone comes
along and removes it. We really should be mindful of where we throw things.
G.	It’s a terrible ieeling when you realise someone close to you is saying bad things about you behind your
back. You feel humiliated and angry on learning the truth, that someone you trusted isn’t trustworthy
at all. You confront them about it, and they deny ever saying anything. An argument may follow, but
eventually you decide that this isn’t the kind of person you want to spend time with.

Indian food in the UK
The British have had a close relationship with Indian food for centuries. The colonial ties between India
and the UK began in the early 1600s, A.
In the late 1700s it wasn’t uncommon to see coffee houses serving curries alongside traditional British
meals. The first dedicated Indian restaurant opened its doors in London in 1809, although it struggled due
to people’s preferences to eat at home during that period. Tire owner ended up closing its doors after about
three decades of service В.
When Queen Victoria staffed her kitchen with Indian cooks, popularity for the cuisine really took oft.
Cookbooks taught British homemakers how C.
There was then a cooling-off period for this spicy fare. A revolt in India against British rule in 1857 meant
curry wouldn’t be so fashionable for a while. In the years after that, its popularity would ebb and flow,
and by the late 1800s, D.
In the early 20th century, many people from the Indian subcontinent were migrating to Britain, and they
bought up some of the run-down restaurants and transformed them into curry houses. Aware of people’s
eating habits, Bangladeshi restaurateurs stayed open until late into the evening E. Soon enough,
Indian food was popular again.
Today, there are hundreds of Indian restaurants across the UK. Some dishes have been modified to a certain
extent, such as British versions which introduce beef into the recipe, F.Overall, the cuisine has
become such a mainstay of the British diet that chicken tikka masala is referred to as a national dish.
1.	French rather than Indian cooking was popular in British kitchens
2.	an ingredient rarely used in India because many sub-cultures don’t allow it
3.	due to some versions of Indian cuisine becoming popular for breakfast
4.	due to the struggle of paying his bills while suffering from a lack of business
5» and the British soldiers in India craved the food when they returned home
6. to catch people when they were returning home from a night out
7. to make the most flavourful Indian dishes in their own homes

The understudv
When the lead actor for whom I was an understudy fell terribly ill with pneumonia the night before
the opening of our play, I should have felt awful for her. I did, in a way. Not so much because she was ill -
I was sure she’d pull through - but because it must have been gut-wrenching to have rehearsed for so
many moons, as we all had, only to be struck with such disappointment.
I know how this already appears to you: I was happy that she had fallen ill. After all, this was my golden
opportunity to shine as the star of the production, and the way to fulfil my dreams of becoming an acting
legend. I was going to seize the day and steal her thunder, never mind that we were friends and that
I owed so much to her, what with her helping me get the role of her understudy in the first place. (It was
very generous of her to put my name forward; she knew that I might one day take her place. Her attitude
was always If someone can do it as well as me, let them do it.’ I admired her for that.)
Naturally, I had always hoped for a big break in theatre, to get to actually perform at the centre
of the production, rather than just remain on the sidelines. Most people don’t quite realise the kind
of effort an understudy puts into a production. I’m not only learning the roles of the master, I’ve also got
my own minor part to excel at. I must learn more lines than anyone else, well, except for the understudy
for the male lead, who was my kindred spirit, the one I could console and be consoled by.
But if I felt any happiness about Annette’s misfortune, it was unbeknown to me. In truth, when I heard
the news about her ill health, less than a day before the opening night, nothing could have kept my heart
from sinking into my stomach. Naturally, I had poured every effort into perfecting the role in case such
a thing might ever happen, but I had somehow felt a bit of comfort in knowing that I wouldn’t be the
star just yet. I felt I still needed some time to develop my craft, and what better way to do that than to
practise in my minor role. That comfort all disappeared in an instant. I felt a bit weak at the knees, actually,
and I had to struggle to put on a brave face when the director told me it was I who would be playing
Lady Macbeth.
I basically had less than twenty-four hours to prepare myself to be the star of the show. It wasn’t as if I hadn’t
thought about it before, but possibility versus reality is a different story altogether. I was really and truly
going to be in the lead. And furthermore, how many people were coming to see the performance because
they adored Annette? What would be going through their minds when the director announced that Julie
Hardy would be playing her role? Would I have to endure a round of faint sighs? I would be grateful
not to see their faces, and I’d probably have my ears covered when the announcement was made.
Luckily, I was surrounded by a supportive cast, who cheered me on. They must have assumed I’d be nervous,
despite my attempts to hide it. Of course, if I couldn’t pretend that I was in control and ready to shine,
how good an actor would I really be?

Apps
Apps are those little computer programs we use on our mobile phones
and other small devices. The word app’ is an abbreviation for software
.	APPLY
Apps have been very popular since the rise of smartphones. There are
apps for banking transactions, weather forecasts, video games, maps,
calendars and other forms of data.	MANAGE
Many apps are available free of charge, or are at least
. Some apps with more sophisticated features EXPENSIVE
can cost quite a bit of money, however.
An estimated 102 billion apps were downloaded in 2013, proving that
the general public s to apps has been positive.	REACT
Some apps are quite amazing, such as one that can tell you what song
is playing in a restaurant or cafe. Others are POSITIVE
strange - there’s an app that makes a whistling sound that only a dog
can hear!
When a software company releases a new app, it’s often
a event. Celebrities make appearances and loads	MASS
of fans queue up to get a glimpse of them, and perhaps check out the app,
too.

Leon and friends
Leon has known his friends for years. He can talk with them about anything, and they rarely disagree
32 I one another.
One day, however, he and his friend Jarrod got into a terrible argument over sport. Leon was quite
surprised, actually, because the argument got so bad that Jarrod j 33 [  out of his house. Leon
had never been so upset in his life.
A week went by and they hadn’t spoken to one another. Leon told his other friends what had happened,
but they hadn’t seen Jarrod in a while. Leon guessed he had to be the one to I 34 |  out to him.
He decided to visit Jarrod’s house and meet him face-to-face. He knew they had to speak eventuallv
and he didn’t want to [  35 I the agony. But no one answered the door when he rang.
Confused, Leon thought he would just leave a note. ‘I’m sorry we got into an argument the other day.
Please, let’s talk soon,’ he wrote.
Later that night, Leon received a call from Jarrod. Strangely, Jarrod tried to | 36 [  that it
wasn’t a big deal. ‘But you got up and left my house. You nearly ran out!’ replied Leon.

TdSK 1 Imagine that you are preparing a project with your friend. You have found some
interesting material for the presentation and you want to read this text to your friend.
You have 1.5 minutes to read the text silently, then be ready to read it aloud.
You will not have more than 1.5 minutes to read it.
A new study shows that children can remember faces they saw when they were just twelve
months old.
The two-and-a-half year study was conducted by two male scientists of equal age. It was
done by a very simple method. Families with one-year-olds brought their children
to meet one of the researchers. He spent forty-five minutes with the children. They did
not meet his colleague. Then, when the children were three and a half, they revisited
the research facility. They were shown photographs of both men. The children focused
on the man they didn’t recognise. Their tendency was to study the stranger’s face,
as children often do when they meet new people.
The children couldn’t say how they knew the familiar face. The study, however,
demonstrated that even as babies, our memories function remarkably well.
Task 2 Study the advertisement.
You are considering attending the grand opening of the shop and now you are calling to find our
more information. In 1.5 minutes you are to ask five direct questions to find out the following:
1)	types of clothes
2)	special offers
3)	if they sell kids’ clothing
4)	if they accept credit cards
5)	nearest free parking
You have 20 seconds to ask each question.
Task 3 Imagine that some years ago you took some photos.
Choose one photo to present to your friend.
You will have to start speaking in 1.5 minutes and will speak for not more
than 2 minutes (12-15 sentences). In your talk remember to speak about:
•	when you took the photo
•	what/who is in the photo
•	what is happening
•	why you took the photo
•	why you decided to show the picture to your friend
You have to talk continuously, starting with: I’ve chosen photo number...
TaSI 4 Study the two photographs. In 1.5 minutes be ready to compare and contrast
the photographs:
•	give a brief description of the photos (action, location)
•	say what the pictures have in common
•	say in what way the pictures are different

6.	Desert survival
7.	Below zero living
8.	Dense living
A.	The famous island of Aruba is located in the Caribbean Sea. Its approximately 100,000 residents live
mostly along the coast, although there are a few inland settlements. Compared with the rest of the
Caribbean Islands, the inhabitants of Aruba live in a considerably drier climate. The island is strewn
with cactus plants, and it’s relatively flat compared with neighbouring land masses.
B.	Although it doesn’t exist anymore, at one point Kowloon Walled City had more people living in it per
square kilometre than any other city in the world. Over 30,000 people lived in the settlement, which
was only the size of one city block. It was a dangerous place to live, full of health hazards and shoddy
building standards. This is why the Chinese government eventually tore it down.
C.	Antarctica is not a continent many people have visited, or probably ever will. Almost completely
covered in ice for the entire year, there are no towns or cities there, and the only permanent inhabitants
are penguins, seals and other ocean-faring creatures. Antarctica is the coldest continent on Earth, with
temperatures plummeting to almost -90 degrees Celsius in winter. Despite its icy surface, it hardly
receives any rain.
D.	Los Angeles may seem like a glamorous place, but its motorways are jam-packed. Still, they’re the best
way to get around the city, as the underground, although improved, is not always useful, and the bus
system is complicated. Thus, it s essential to have a vehicle to get around, but to get right across the citv
could take more than two hours, even driving at high speeds on the motorway.
E.	The village of Mawsynram, northeast India, has a special distinction to accompany its name. It receives
more rainfall than any other place in the world. On average, almost 12 metres of rain fall in Mawsynram
each year. That’s metres, not inches or centimetres. The village lies amongst hills where monsoon winds
from southern India converge. It’s highly recommended to bring an umbrella if you visit!
E Believe it or not, there is life at the very bottom of the Pacific Ocean. Seven miles below the surface,
it’s pitch black because no sunlight reaches that far. There is little for anything to eat down there, and
temperatures are not far above freezing point. What could possibly exist down there? And yet, this is
the home of many small, fish-like creatures.
G. Mount Everest is generally thought to be the tallest mountain in the world, but it depends on how you
measure things. If you start from the very bottom of the base of a mountain, even if it’s below the sea.
then Hawaii’s Mauna Kea would qualify as the tallest. From the sea floor to its peak, it’s 10,203 metres
high, compared to Mount Everest’s 8,848 metres.

Pavlovsk Palace
Pavlovsk Palace near St Petersburg has a remarkable story. In its over 200 years of existence, it has been
ravaged by fire, A. But its survival of World War II is perhaps the most interesting period
in its history.
The palace was built in the late 18th century on land that belonged to Catherine the Great. She had
passed the land down to her son, Paul I, and his wife, Maria, upon the birth of their son, Alexander I
of Russia. Scottish architect Charles Cameron, a lover of Greek and Roman architecture, was hired to
design the palace. His relationship with Catherine the Great was quite close, В.
The three of them had competing interests for the interiors, each one disliking the others’ tastes. Eventually
the palace was finished, and after Catherine the Greats passing, Paul I made it the official royal residence.
His death in 1801 meant Alexander I would become emperor, C.
The palace stayed in royal hands up until the Russian Revolution, when the royal family fled the country
They left the palace to Alexander Polovotsoff, a prominent museum director, who fought to have it saved
as a museum. His success meant that the palace survived, D.
Just before its seizure, the museum staff hurried to save the art contained in the museum. Furniture was
dismantled and shipped off, E.
Perhaps the cleverest trick involved the statues. They were too heavy to evacuate, so the staff buried
them in the gardens. They sank them three metres into the ground, F  . They were right; after
the occupation was over, the statues still remained.
1.	occupied by foreign troops and nearly completely destroyed
2.	and large antiquities were stored in a basement and walled up
3.	but it would be seized by the Germans years later and used for military purposes
4.	and he designated the house as his mother Marias official residence
5.	believing the palace would best serve the country as a museum
6.	but clashes would erupt between him, Paul and Maria over style issues
7.	thinking the Germans wouldn’t dig that deep to look for them

Life in Bali
Martin began his life in Bali with a massive feeling of excitement. Here he was in paradise, surrounded
by palm trees, white-sand beaches and crystal clear waters as far as the eye could see. But it wasn’t long before
he realised that it’s a bit different actually working in paradise as opposed to being on holiday there.
When he and some friends had visited the island for a holiday a couple of years before, he had fallen
for the lifestyle hook, line and sinker. It had become his passion to find an excuse to live there extendedly.
Of course, this meant he would actually have to do something while he was there to fund it all. It couldn’t
be just days on end with nothing to do but lie on the beach or sit by a pool and chat about random things
with the locals.
There were all sorts of fantastic opportunities he had in mind: be a yoga instructor, give kayaking lessons
to tourists, give tours of the cultural centres on the island. Not only did he have the dream location
in mind, but he had the dream job in his sights as well.
And of course there was the modest and traditional living accommodation he was sure he’d find, with
big windows to let in the warm breeze throughout the day and a stunning ocean view. All of this a matter
of steps away from the water he’d swum and surfed in as a holidaymaker.
But things rarely turn out how we want them to be, and Martin’s case was no different. Without any real
qualifications in any of the vocations he’d imagined, other than being armed with a sociology degree,
Martin was forced to settle for whatever he could find. He accepted the first position he could actually
manage to obtain, which was at a quaint resort a little way from the busy touristy area. He would work
as a drinks server for little pay and few perks, aside from being by the seaside.
And the dream house he thought would be easy to find turned out to be a little out of reach in terms
of rent. He ended up being closer to the jungle than the sea. None of this was as a result of not trying;
it was just going to be a while longer before Martin got all that his heart desired.
As the weeks passed by, Martin’s island life slowly filled up with minor daily annoyances that took a certain
change of perspective to handle. His move to Bali wasn’t intended to be an escape-from-it-all adventure; he
still very much cherished the modern conveniences in life. He had to learn to anticipate that the internet
wouldn’t always be on or that getting laundry done might take hours. Power cuts, while entertaining
at first, can be a real pain when you’re actually trying to accomplish something.
Eating became a real adventure as well, which Martin had got a taste of, so to speak, while he was there
on holiday. He loved Indonesian food, but not all of it from every vendor was fit for consumption. Those
charming power cuts meant that sometimes food had thawed, and then been refrozen. The flavour wasn’t
the only thing lost in the process, if his occasional stomach aches were anything to go by.
But Martin was determined to make it work. If the inconveniences frustrated him, he reminded himself
not to cry over spilt milk. He told himself that, after all, if he had got everything he wanted in the first
week, he might not appreciate his achievements as much, and there was plenty to appreciate on Bali.

Before Martin moved to Bali, he ...

2)	spent some time working there to see if he would like it.
3)	was only thinking of the positive aspects of life there.
4)	expected life there to be full of inconveniences.
What did Martin think about lying on the beach and sitting by a pool?
1)	It wasn’t something he’d ever be able to do.
2)	It was the only thing to do in Bali.
3)	It would be something he’d find very boring.
4)	It would have to be an occasional thing.
Martin’s dream jobs were all...
1) educational.

Teacher’s pet
It seems that it would be a good idea for any student to want to be
teacher’s ‘pet’, or favourite. After all, if a teacher likes you the most,
that teacher ___________ you with the most privileges
in class, won’t they?
REWARD
24
Strangely, though, almost no student wants this role! If they were given
the choice, they to have a good relationship,
but not too favourable.
PREFER
Unfortunately, kids who are labelled teacher’s pet
 fun of by their classmates. The other students
become jealous, so they try to level things out by giving the favoured
student a hard time.
MAKE
If anyone ever calls you a teacher’s pet, don’t let it get to you. It’s nothing
but positive to have a good relationship with teachers, so just be
__________________________and ignore the others.

St Ives
When the British travel in their own country for a holiday, what’s their
26 favourite destination? This topic could lead to a
discussion, but one place that often wins awards is St Ives.

It lies on the Celtic Sea at the tip of the Cornish peninsula, and its
white-sand beaches and year-round pleasant weather make it seem
21 । in comparison to the rest of Britain.
TROPICS
The town has a rich past, and some notable buildings date back centuries.

{	built in 1312 and has displayed the of local
artists for many years.
PAINT

29 a fishing port, one of the largest in the area.
Billions of fish have been exported from the town over the years.

people spoke English. When the opportunity to study there came up, he

You will not have more than 1.5 minutes to read it.
A visit to the beach might mean building a sand castle. Can you imagine drawing a castle
on a single grain of sand? An artist and a scientific researcher have joined forces to do
just that.
The artist first used a 100-year-old device to reflect images of real castles onto
paper. He then traced these images onto the paper and sent them to the researcher.
The researcher used technology similar to microscopic lasers to copy each image onto
a grain of sand. The process took four years of trial and error to complete. The specific
type of instrument could draw an extremely thin line. In fact, the line was only a tiny
fraction of the width of a human hair.
With the sand grain etched, the artist photographed the grain and enlarged the image.
The technological marvel is a sight to see, and the applications for it are endless.

A. If you’re a gaming fanatic, you’ll probably need a top-of-the-range unit to play games. The graphics are
so detailed and the action so dense that many models of computers - even those just released - cant
play the programs properly. You’ll need a computer with a special graphics card, and that can cost you.
but if you love a good exciting game, it’s worth it.
B.	An increasingly disturbing problem in some of the world’s oceans is the collection of rubbish that
washes up on faraway shores. The shorelines of the islands northwest of Hawaii - the ones hardlv
anyone ever visits - are littered with discarded plastic items. You’d think these lovely and isolated
places had been visited by the most irresponsible travellers ever to walk the face of the Earth.
C.	When was the last time you sat down to write a letter to a friend? It’s probably been a long while, and
it may even be possible that you’ve never done such a thing, sending just the random, short-and-swee:
email now and again. But this is how people used to communicate with one another, and there was
a style and skill to it that has been largely forgotten.
D.	If you love the outdoors, you might consider taking something home with you to remember it bv.
It may be a unique stone or a shell from a beach. It’s a lovely idea, and if done responsibly - that is.
if you’re not taking huge amounts of things with you - then it can make a lovely souvenir to displav
alongside items from other places you’ve visited.
E.	Although not as popular as it used to be, stamp collecting is a hobby that some people still inves:
time in. If you’ve ever really studied a stamp, you can see that there’s usually a lovely piece of artwork
contained in the tiny square. In fact, artists enter competitions to have their images featured on a stamp.
Isn’t that something worth collecting?

The Times
Newspapers have been in existence since the first one, the German newspaper Relation, was printed in 1605.
Thousands of newspaper companies have sprung up since then, but The Times, a British newspaper, is one
of the most famous. Although not the oldest paper, A.
Founded in 1785, The Times has other interesting distinctions as well. Originally entitled The Daily
Universal Register, its name was changed three years later to The Times, В. Other leading
newspapers of the world, such as The New York Times, The Irish Times and The Times of India, all take
their names from this publication.
The typeface that many readers are familiar with, Times Roman, was commissioned by The Times. Under
pressure to print the news in letters that were easier to read, in 1931 the newspaper asked a consultant,
Stanley Morison, and a graphic artist, Victor Lardent, C.
The Times was also the first newspaper to send journalists to cover armed conflicts, a common practice for
any serious publication today This began when correspondents from the newspaper travelled to Crimea
in the 1850s D.
Today, the content of The Times covers a broad range of topics and includes opinions and comments from
editors. Also included in the paper is a supplemental newspaper, times2, E.
As with all newspapers, sales of The Times have been challenged by the advent of the internet, which
often offers the news free of charge. While The Times has a website featuring daily updated news, the site
has a pay wall F. Both the online and paper editions of The Times are still read by hundreds
of thousands of readers.

The journey within
I’ve met people who, much to my envy, were not on a mission to find themselves. Whether it’s just their
nature, or that they’ve managed to find the answer already, some people seem to know their purpose and
have known it for a long time. Perhaps there are some people who just don’t ask.
I am not one of those people, and that is why 1 have found myself in the desert. My decision to leave mv
familiar surroundings and venture abroad was a selfish one wrapped in the packaging of helping others,
which I’ve accepted now. I may not have freely admitted that fact, or even known it, in the beginning.
But I’m primarily an English teacher in Jordan because I was on a mission to help myself. It just looks as
though I’m helping others, and that’s the naked truth.
It’s not completely one-sided, as I certainly like my students and I know they appreciate what I do. To be
honest, I’d rather have fun with them kicking a ball around a dusty alleyway than teach them grammar
I’m the world’s worst at class management, and I’m surprised I haven’t been fired yet. They just haven:
caught onto me. Hopefully I will have mastered the art before that happens.
I’m not wholly selfish, either. I commit random acts of selflessness quite often. I’ve given an old laptop
a neighbour who could barely afford a desk to put it on. I’ve had newfound friends round to the house for
dinner, even though I burnt it and had to get takeaway. And I’m earning very low wages, doing work for
which I’d be paid many times more back home. Does that count as selfless?
I’ve come to terms with the fact that finding yourself is an endless mission if you allow it to be. If you never
answer the questions 4Who am I?’ and ‘What is my purpose in life?’, it’s not because there isn’t an answer
It’s because you don’t want to know the answer, because then what you would do after finding it? Or, if veu
find the answer, it means you have to commit to it. Our generation is not used to commitment. So mam
of us let opportunities slip through our fingers because were too scared to say ‘That’s me. That’s who I am
Or we say it, then change our minds a month down the road, ending up more lost than before.
The journey has clearly had a profound effect on me. I’ve endured dust storms for days on end to learn
what it is that I want from life. I’ve been on bus rides that took an hour to go a couple of kilomemes
because the streets were jammed with traffic. I can’t complain, because it’s part of what I wanted, and Im
beginning to think it’s the journey itself that I seek, not the destination. Can’t that be something to aspm
to be - a seeker of journeys, of questions without answers, of beginnings without ends?
I sense that most of my colleagues have travelled down this road and reached the end of it, but hm t
become cynical in the process. My favourite colleague - the one I envy the most - has never even askm
the question. He’s simply a lover of adventure who likes to blow his own trumpet. True, he boasts m
much about how great a teacher he is, but his energy and zest for life are refreshing. He definitely falls m::
the category of ‘doer’ not ‘thinker’. That’s not to say he doesn’t think, of course, but he spends verv lime
time sorting out his thoughts. It doesn’t seem that he needs to.

What does the author think of people who know their purpose in life?
1)	He wishes he were more like them.
2)	He thinks they must have been born that way.
3)	He thinks they don’t really know their purpose.

1)	cares only for other people.
2)	is particularly good at it.
3)	wanted to learn something himself.
4)	thought it would be a good way to see the world.

2)	he should have given his neighbour a desk.

Task 1 Imagine that you are preparing a project with your friend. You have found some
interesting material for the presentation and you want to read this text to your friend
You have 1.5 minutes to read the text silently, then be ready to read it aloud.
You will not have more than 1.5 minutes to read it.
It takes great deal of effort to manage a farm. The basics may be easy to learn, but son e
aspects of farming are quite complex. A certain level of farming education is therefore
necessary. For instance, some farmers don’t always know how to use fertiliser correctlv.
Fertiliser helps plants grow and produce more fruit and vegetables. Too much of it,
however, doesn’t help the plant and causes pollution. When farmers water their crops
some of that water runs off. This contains some of the fertiliser. It ends up in lakes
and streams and eventually in the supply of water we drink and wash in.
A simple government programme can make a big difference in educating farmers.
It can help make them aware of the environmental impact of farming. This in turn can
help reduce water pollution.

2.	Musical inspiration
3.	The fashion victim
4.	Creative genius
5.	Practical joker
6.	Popularity contest
7.	The quiet type
8.	The know-all
A.	These students tend to be a mystery to the others in the classroom. They often sit at the back of the
class, and they keep to themselves. They seem to be really clever, but you’d never know by the things
they say, as they only speak on the rarest of occasions. Maybe they’re just a bit shy and haven’t come
out of their shells yet.
B.	There is a bit of a stigma around doing certain things at school. Some students avoid these things
because they think they might be perceived as nerds. For example, they might not want to join the
school orchestra in case they’d get a negative label, but the truth is that anyone who can play an
instrument has special talent that, one day, the others will be envious of.
C.	Some students can’t keep their hands down when the teacher asks a question in class. Or, indeed, they
don’t even wait to be called on. They just blurt out the answers. There’s no question that they can’t
answer. It can be infuriating for the others, but these students might make good study partners for an
exam, if they really are the fount of knowledge they appear to be.
D.	Every school’s got a student who likes to talk to everyone in the school, even the head teacher on
occasion! They’ve always got something to say, and everyone loves them because they’re witty and
charming. They may not be the brightest person in school, or the most talented, but they are by far the
most sociable. It might even seem that they’re competing for the title of Most Well-Liked at School.
E.	All students have their own unique perspectives on life, but some see things in a completely different
light compared to their classmates. Perhaps they strive to do this, or it simply comes naturally. They’re
often able to create the most surprising piece of writing or paint the loveliest scene from everyday life,
the ones we take for granted. Talent like this mustn’t be wasted.
F.	There must be one of this type of student in every single school. This is the one who’s always trying
to be funny, although sometimes they’re more of a nuisance. They try to get you to believe something
that’s not true, for example, but it’s all in good fun of course. Sometimes they really get you, and other
times, you know what they’re up to and you’re not falling for it!
G.	Some kids in school are the envy of their classmates, but it might be for all the wrong reasons. The
other students look at them and are sometimes jealous of what they’re wearing, but if you look a bit
more closely, you realise that they’re imprisoned by their desire to look good. They could never step
out of the house in an uncool tracksuit. It would be a sin!

The new wind turbine
Green energy has become a focus in technological advancement, as scientists are looking for ways to create
or harness energy without damaging the planet. The wind turbine is one of the biggest breakthroughs
in renewable energy, and as a result, A.
Although the traditional wind turbine has shown great benefits, it is not without flaws. One of the obvious
problems is that some days are just not that windy; however, in the higher layers of our atmosphere, it is
always windy. Scientists have been watching this never-ending power source very closely, В.
So, they’ve designed new types of wind turbines, known as airborne wind turbines, which can reach this
higher layer. One specific model is known as BAT, or buoyant airborne turbine, which is similar to a giant
balloon. It’s filled with helium, which allows it to rise high in the sky, C.
In the centre of the balloon is a turbine, and the balloon itself is tied to the ground with cables that carry
the turbine’s electricity down to Earth. Extremely light and portable, D.
The company that has developed this technology says it will be the answer to rural power needs. People
who live in remote areas often can’t take advantage of renewable energy because setting up traditional
wind turbines is very costly. And if they can’t even connect to the national grid, as is the case in some
places in Alaska, E.
Hopefully with this new technology, more people will be able to live a greener life. The BAT is just one type
of airborne wind turbine; F, or at least to provide a variety of turbines to suit different needs.
1.	and some have described it as looking like an inflatable doughnut
2.	they have to run expensive petrol-powered generators
3.	there are fewer wind turbines in this location for people to use
4.	and they’re looking to discover a way to make better use of it
5.	they can be seen dotted across landscapes around the world
6.	there are more being developed in the search for the perfect design
7.	the balloon can be set up in remote places far away from electricity grids

Sleep problems
I had been known to sleepwalk as a child, often getting up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom,
but not knowing I had done so. I had a habit of leaving the bathroom light on, which is what should have
given it away, after weeks of my parents scolding my sister and me for failing to turn it off. The thing is,
we always did turn it off, or so we thought.
It was my sister, actually, who discovered the problem, to her astonishment, when she got up to use
the bathroom herself, and found me in front of the bathroom basin washing my hands. She said she’d
waited for me to finish, and when I did, I walked right past her with a blank stare on my face. She’d asked
me if I was OK; I’d said nothing and gone back to bed. When she mentioned it that morning, I had no
recollection of the event, and I flatly denied that it had happened.
Days later, my sister encountered exactly the same situation, which I again refused to believe, although
with a bit less determination. I was beginning to sense there was a problem. I began to question my own
memory as well.
It was of great concern to my parents, who assumed that something awful would happen to me during
one of the episodes. What if I went for a walk round the block, in my pyjamas? They told my sister to lock
our bedroom door at night, and then to hide the key, after I actually found it and used it on one occasion.
We considered consulting a sleep therapist; however, the locked door seemed to do the trick, and the
episodes stopped.
Flash forward to my life as a young adult. I was living alone and I began to notice some peculiar things
around my flat, worse than just a left-on bathroom light, although not dangerously so. I would go to get
something which 1 was sure was in the fridge, only to find it missing. I would see dirty saucepans on the
cooker, something which as a self-professed cleaning freak I would never leave for the next day. 1 realised
that I’d re-started my childhood habit. I had heard stories of people driving while asleep, so I started
hiding my car keys from myself in different places every night, in the hope that I wouldn’t remember
where I had put them. I sometimes didn’t when I was awake!
I decided that before things got out of hand, I would visit a sleep clinic. I set up an appointment and met
a professional who suggested I stayed in their clinic overnight. The facilities were very comfortable and
the staff helpful and pleasant. Most of the patients were there for minor sleeping problems, which was
the category I felt I fell into, as opposed to the few with more disturbing sleep issues, such as not sleeping
for days, or falling asleep randomly and without control. I was asked whether or not I wanted to take
medication, which I was advised wouldn’t - and couldn’t - be a permanent routine. I decided against it,
preferring to try other methods.
You see, there are no defining triggers to sleepwalking. In other words, it’s hard to hit the nail on the head
when it comes to finding the cause and prescribing remedies. Instead, the therapist helped me to try and
work out what might be disrupting my sleep; if it was stress, not sleeping to a schedule, doing too many
things before bedtime, and so on. I had to see which of those things might be my trigger, and change it so
that I’d stop my sleepwalking for good.

Computer problems
Davids mum Frieda was useless when it came to fixing computer problems. It was in part because
she didn’t know how programs operated or how to 32 the settings, but it was also because
she didn’t want to know. It simply wasn’t of interest to her.
So whenever something went wrong, it was David to the rescue. He’d always ask what she had done
to it, but the response was always the same: ‘I have no idea. It’s just stopped working.’ David would have

It rarely took David long to solve the problem. He was a computer
a computer apart and put it back together again. But he was going off to university soon, and what would
his mum do then?
‘I suppose I’ll just call someone,’ she said when David brought
conversation. His mum managed a plant nursery and didn’t need computers to run her shop, although it
was nice for recording the details of her business 36  .
She knew the basics of computers, which satisfied her needs. She had
to placing orders online, but when the computer froze up, so did David’s mum. She would just pull out
her old-fashioned address book and call suppliers directly. As long as she could rely on a method that was

out of balance because we are moving into very different time zones so quickly.
The further we travel, the stronger the effect is.
Our sleep patterns are deeply affected by sunlight. rlhe light that strikes our eyes sends
information to our brains. rIhis data tells us we need to be awake or asleep. If sunlight
changes drastically, for example, when we take a twelve-hour flight to a faraway place,
it can take days to adjust.
The science behind this phenomenon tells us that we should regulate our exposure
to sunlight when we travel. An app exists that can be added to a smartphone. It tells you
when you need darkness, and when you need light. It can greatly reduce the amount
of time it takes to correct jet lag.

A.	Setting up an aquarium in your home is a fairly simple process, but maintaining it is important if you
want the fish to survive. You’ve got to make sure the water filter gets changed every so often, and you
must regularly replace some of the dirty water with fresh water. Doing this ensures the health of your
fish; after all, they have to live in that tank!
B.	There are some things almost anyone can do to improve a bathroom, like installing a new shower
curtain. Other things like blocked drains or faulty pipes are more tricky, and usually need the assistance
of a professional. They’re probably not jobs you want to undertake on your own, as without skill and
experience, you might end up with a disaster like a floor flooded with water.
C.	Sharing your things with others is a good way to build character and promote generosity. However,
you need to have some things that you can say are yours alone, and belong to no one else. This is true
for many electronic devices, such as mobile phones and laptops. Having to constantly share something
like that with a sibling, for example, can be a nuisance.
D.	Taking a guided tour can be a hassle-free way of seeing sights in a new town, but there’s a bit of
adventure lacking from such things. It’s a great feeling to freely wander round a new city armed with
your own map and a keen sense of direction. With a bit of planning and some courage, you might just
embark on the most memorable of journeys.
E.	Caring for fish doesn’t take a lot of know-how; however, certain fish can’t live together peacefully. You
should consult an expert who knows about fish and which varieties can happily share space with one
another. Some varieties of fish absolutely cannot live with other fish in the tank, so make sure you do
your research before you put random fish together.
F.	Putting your faith in a guided tour can sometimes be... well, misguided. It all depends on how extensive
the tour guide’s knowledge of the sights is and how passionate they are about showing them to you.
Another problem can be the sheer number of activities packed into the tour. You might find yourself
exhausted after the first day. Sometimes quality is better than quantity.
G.	For many things round the house that need attention, there’s no need to hire a professional. If you’ve
got a light fixture that you want to replace, you should be able to climb up a ladder and unhook it as
long as you’ve turned the power off. If you’ve got a loose tap, you might be able to fix it with just the use
of the right tool.

Anatoli Tarasov
It takes a tough coach to lead a team to victory, even though such a coach may bring controversy This was
the case for Anatoli Tarasov, one of ice hockeys greatest coaching legends A.
Tarasov, a former ice hockey player himself, was tasked with building an ice hockey team from scratch
for the Soviet Union after World War II. At that time, ice hockey was not very popular, but Tarasov had
fallen in love with it, was particularly skilful at it В.
So, Tarasov founded the ice hockey department at CSKA Moscow, the country’s leading sports club.
His early career didn’t see a great deal of success, and he was replaced by a rival coach, Arkady Chernyshev,
who didn’t fare much better. However, the two men then joined forces and won consecutive titles for over
a decade, C.
Tarasov had his own style of training his athletes. He focused heavily on simple drills to perfect specific
skills and he required all of his players to be in constant motion during the drills, D.
Tarasov was an ambitious coach, but his ambitions sometimes displeased others. He once marched his team
off the rink in protest at a bad call by a referee. This resulted in his removal as coach, and E.
Still intent on being involved with the sport, Tarasov remained a guiding force for the team, often sitting
near the coaching bench at subsequent matches. In one particular moment of irritation at witnessing his
team gradually losing a match, Tarasov jumped in F. His actions led the team to victory. Despite
his controversial nature, he is honoured in the Hockey Hall of Fame for his outstanding contribution
to the sport.
1.	and seemed to be the perfect choice for leading a team
2.	a method that seemed unusual to seasoned teams like the Canadians
3.	a second-in-command coach was moved forward to replace him
4.	who was sometimes the cause of disagreement around the rink
5.	who sporting club members felt was a less controversial coach
6.	and took the reins from the existing coach
7.	which peaked with the victory at the 1972 Olympic Games

Head boy
For Thomas, being chosen as head boy at his school was the greatest honour he had ever known. It was also
a huge responsibility, having to represent the school at public events and give speeches on occasion. He
looked forward to speaking for his school; he didn’t suffer from the same fear of public speaking that most
people in the world possess. He attributed this to his skills in theatre and the number of performances he
had participated in since childhood.
Becoming head boy had taken quite a lot of convincing on Thomas’s part. When he met the head teacher
at his school, a stern but deeply kind lady who prided herself on demanding the best from her students
no matter how difficult the challenge, he couldn’t help but feel a bit intimidated. He had to prove to this
cornerstone of the teaching establishment that he was fit to lead his students, to listen to their concerns
and to put them before his own.
He had a difficult task ahead of him, for it was his responsibility to always project the school in a positive
light. More than that, he had to promote proper behaviour through setting an example, but also by
monitoring the other students and reporting those with less than appropriate mannerisms. While he was
well-liked in school, he imagined he would probably make some enemies along the way.
At least that’s what his brother had warned him about. Daniel had been his predecessor three years earlier.
Naturally, he gave him hints and tips about how to be successful at being chosen as well as fulfilling duties.
But the pressure to excel was immense, as the other students tended to watch you like a hawk. They were
waiting for you to step out of line, as they feared you might be looking at them the same way.
In addition to the general student body, there was the student council to manage. This was the committee
of students who had been elected by other students to represent their interests in discussions with the
teachers. Thomas had to stay on top of things there as well, to make sure the elected members were
fulfilling their duties on the council. It was another layer of responsibility that only a brilliant head boy or
head girl could manage. Thomas felt he was up to the challenge, even though his brother conveyed to him
that he might run out of steam towards the end of the school year.
In addition to his homework assignments, he would be tasked with writing letters to the education ministry
to improve school facilities. He would be responsible for leading weekly meetings of the student council,
which required a great deal of organising. He would have to organise student volunteer projects and see to
it that the young adults with special needs in the local community were included in student events.
His evenings and weekends would have to be dedicated to fulfilling these needs. He realised being a
successful head boy would demand a considerable sacrifice, but he viewed it as a learning experience that
would prepare him for his future. Great things came of head boys and girls, for learning how to be a leader
at such a young age paved the way for success in later life.
His first duty was to draft a proposal for a Model United Nations conference, in which students would act
as delegates from various countries to discuss world issues. It was a tall order for a first assignment, and
even though he and the student council seemed eager for the challenge, Thomas knew he had his work
cut out for him.

Weather in the UK
For a country so far north, the UK has mild weather in comparison
to other countries that share similar latitudes. This is due to warm
currents of water that are pushed up from	CONTINUAL
the central Atlantic Ocean and around the British Isles.
And, because it is located in a northern part of the globe and benefits

In fact, the warmest UK temperature on record is 38.5 degrees Celsius,
recorded in Kent, England.
This makes for an interesting climate, as the UK is sandwiched between
 warm and cool air masses. As a result, the skies can be quite cloudy
28 and there is often an of direct sunlight	ABSENT

Outer space can have a strange effect on living things. A team of astronauts from Japan
took seeds from a cherry tree with them on a space mission. After returning, they made
an unusual discovery when they planted them.
The seeds had been taken from a famous old tree near a temple in Japan. The tree
is thought to be over 1,000 years old. Normally, this type of cherry tree does not bloom
until after ten full years of growth. When it does bloom, the individual flowers have
about 30 petals.
The seeds that the astronauts had taken into space grew at a much faster rate. The trees
bloomed after just four years of growth. Also, the flowers only contained about five petals
each. Scientists cannot explain why this happened. It must have been something the seeds
were exposed to in space that changed their growth rate.

A.	Planning for a trip can be almost as exciting as going on it. You imagine how much you’re going to
enjoy arriving at your destination, getting settled into your hotel and going out on that first night in a
new town. Just make sure you bring the right clothes; even if you travel to a warm location, it might be
chilly at night.
B.	Airports can be dizzying experiences. There are signs and information everywhere, and loads of people
running round, trying to do lots of things at once. In this chaos, it’s easy to misplace something, like
the piece of paper or card that allows you on the plane. It’s best to keep it in your front pocket so you
know where it is and it’s easy to hand it over to the attendant.
C.	Travel preferences vary widely, but a large percentage of people choose fun and sun. There is lots to be
done in preparation for such a trip, but as sun lotion is essential, you should remember to buy that at
the very least Buying it at home can save you 30 per cent on the price, and you should buy a new bottle
every year, as the old stuff doesn’t protect as well.
D.	We all prepare for the worst case scenario when we travel abroad, even though we don’t think about
it all the time. Most of us have got mobile phones, which keep all our contacts stored for us. But
what happens if you lose it? This is why you should also keep a handwritten list. It would be a shame
if something terrible happened and you couldn’t reach your own home.
E.	When you go on holiday, you should never carry a great deal of cash with you, but you need to have
some on hand to pay for the odd things at the airport, like meals or last minute travel purchases. Most
airports have cash machines, but it might be a good idea to have a small amount in your purse or wallet
before you arrive.
F.	Being in a new city means you’re not likely to know your way around. Walking the streets aimlessly
is not ideal or even safe, so you need a paper or electronic guide that shows you where things are and
how to get around the streets. It’s especially good if it shows where the hotels, museums and sights
of interests are located, and how to find bus routes or metro stations, too.
G.	Governments have put a lot of effort into travel documents to make sure they’re state-of the art.
Nowadays, they come with microchips that contain all of the data in your passport in an electronic
form. This is a way to prevent counterfeiting of these documents and to ensure that the holder
of the documents is the true owner. It is yet another way to make our travel safer.

Wales
Wales shares a great deal of its history with the rest of Great Britain, but it has its own distinctive identity
that is closer to the Celtic regions of the British Isles, such as Ireland, Scotland and Cornwall, and also to
Brittany in northern France. These regions make up the Celtic nations, A.
Wales, like Scotland and England, is considered to be a country within the country of the United Kingdom.
This is because the region is distinctly different from other regions in aspects like history and culture,
В.
Although Wales is represented in the United Kingdoms House of Commons, the lower house of the UK’s
parliament, it is also partly self-governed. Some Welsh people wish for independence, C. Polls
show that around 80-90% of Welsh people do not favour separation from the UK.
Nearly everyone in Wales speaks English, but Wales is officially a bilingual country, the other official
language being Welsh. Wales is known as Cymru in the Welsh language, pronounced ‘kum-ree’, and the
Welsh people are known as Cymry, D.
Indeed, the influence of the rest of the UK on Wales has been strong and the use of English so widespread
that the Welsh language was feared to be dying out. A law passed in 1993 officially placed the Welsh
language on a par with English in the country. Court proceedings can be carried out in Welsh or English,
E.
Furthermore, there are different dialects and forms of pronunciation of Welsh within the country.
Differences are noted between the northern and southern regions, and a combination of English and
Welsh, commonly known as ‘Wenglish’, has emerged F.
1.	which is pronounced in the same way as the country’s name
2.	which mixes words, grammar and pronunciation from the two languages
3.	of which Wales is an integral and influential part
4.	and road signs and public documents are printed in both languages
5.	although it doesn’t have embassies and is subject to most UK laws

A banking crisis
Becky was in a hurry and really didn’t have the time for sorting out password issues on her computer
She had been locked out of her online bank account after entering the password incorrectly more than
three times, and she needed to access it to pay bills that were due that day. Aside from being a sloppy typist,
the number of times she had to change her passwords left her unable to remember them correctly. It didn’t
help that she had a computer file that listed all her current passwords, as she didn’t always update it.
So she began the difficult journey of setting up a new password, which only added to her current frustration.
She phoned the bank, as she wasn’t able to receive a new one electronically, as per bank policy. Irritating
as that was, she pressed on, as she was keen to avoid the massive penalty she’d incur if she paid her bill
late. It was a tax bill, after all, and the government never failed to fine those who did not handle their
obligations in a timely fashion.
She hoped she could avoid having to visit the bank, as it generally had terribly long queues, and as it was
getting late in the day, she doubted she’d get served that day anyway. During her phone call she was passed
between several different departments, and finally, after being on hold for several minutes and pacing
around her flat impatiently, she was greeted with bad news. The bank representative asked for a telephone
banking password, which Becky didn’t even know existed. Exasperated, she hung up without even asking
what she should do next. It was now all but certain that she would miss the deadline for paying her bill.
She could have arranged to pay it late and avoid the penalty, but getting locked out of her online account
wasn’t something she’d anticipated.
She was deeply unhappy with the level of difficulty she experienced in doing what she believed should have
been a simple online transaction. It was a transaction that she had done several times before, with success,
but her occasional clumsiness and mild lack of organisation got the best of her that day. Completely
focused on the unfairness of it, she gave no consideration to what banks do to protect information, and
no thought to what might happen if someone hacked into her bank account and stole her entire savings.
In Becky’s mind at that particular moment, it was all about the supreme inconvenience of technology.
Passwords had become so much more sophisticated recently, it seemed, so that something as simple as
a pet’s name or a date of birth was now considered ‘weak’ and unacceptable to the system. Passwords had
to have letters, numbers and one capitalised letter, and this was good for only a short period of time, after
which they would need to be changed. Becky had long run out of ideas for new ones, so hers had become
a meaningless jumble of numbers and letters. ‘Why couldn’t fill suffice?’ Becky said as she hurled her
account details onto the table in the hall. She wasn’t normally so irrational, but her outburst allowed her
to let off steam in the only way she felt she could.
She phoned up her accountant to see if he could help. His first words were ‘You’ll have to go into the bank
to get a new password,’ which merely added fuel to the fire. Becky let out a big ‘Ugh!’ which was OK
because her accountant, Kyle, was an old mate from university. She could be really grumpy with him and
he’d forgive her. But his very flat, simple response - however innocent - was probably not the best thing
for Becky to hear.

It’s quite different from how many of their parents grew up, when 71%

The resulting loss of our childrens with nature
means they’re missing out on opportunities to make discoveries about
plants and wildlife, and to build a love and respect for the natural world.
Instead, children spend a lot of their time watching television, playing

Dogs are thought to be intelligent creatures. They can remember approximately
165 words on average. This includes visual signals and other signs. A trained dog can
learn even more words, up to 250.
Some studies demonstrate that dogs are as clever as a two-year-old child. This has been
measured in a couple of ways. Firstly, a dog knows about the same number of words
as a child of this age. Additionally, there is a mirror test that is used to measure awareness.
Dogs never really understand their reflection in the mirror. They think it’s another dog.
Children are like this, too, until they’re about three.
Like many other animals, dogs sense some things far better than humans. They’re often able
to understand social situations faster, such as who is the most dominant animal in a pack.

A.	While they know it’s wrong to do, and it should result in punishment for all involved, students
occasionally throw their lunch at one another. You’ve seen it in films, and while it rarely happens in
real life, it must happen from time to time, mustn’t it? It looks quite fun to do, although not so much
fun for the school’s housekeeping staff who have to clean up the mess.
B.	When fighting forest fires, firemen face some of the most dangerous conditions that any person could
face. Temperatures soar to heights that the human body can’t handle, which is why firemen must wear
heavy, flame-resistant clothing. Falling debris is a problem, too, as branches snap from the trees and
fall to the ground, so helmets are essential to protect the head.
C.	Many people suffer from allergies, which can be caused by a number of things. Probably the worst time
of the year for sufferers is after winter has finished and temperatures begin to rise. Trees grow leaves,
flowers bloom, and all of this places particles in the air that get up our noses and cause us to itch,
sneeze, cough and get watery eyes.
D.	How many personality types are there? Some say there are up to nine, but surely there are more than
that. One personality type describes people who are always cautious. These people are careful to stay
out of danger and they avoid risk at all costs. They might seem rather conservative, but these people
have an important function. They’re the ones that are going to keep us safe above all.
E.	Health professionals and nutritionists have recently discovered that wheat can actually cause an
allergic reaction in some people. Its a shame, really, because this means that these people have to
avoid eating bread, pasta, cakes and many other basic staples. Eating these foods can cause coughing,
clogged nasal passages and even skin rashes. Luckily, there are medications that can lessen the effects
of wheat allergies.
F.	When April and May come round, some schools prepare a special occasion where students can relax
and have a good time. Students dress up in nice outfits, meet in the school hall and enjoy listening to
music from a DJ or a local band. It’s an opportunity for them to show off their moves on the floor and
really let loose.
G.	Some people have a personality type that pushes them to task risks. They’re the type of people who
take great pleasure in doing dangerous things, such as bungee jumping, rock climbing or racing cars.
Playing it safe is just not in their nature, so while they enjoy the greatest thrills in life, they sometimes
get themselves in a bit of trouble.

A big change
Julie had had long hair since she was 8 years old. She used to keep it plaited during the summer and
occasionally she would curl it for a special occasion. She didn’t mind the time it took to take care of it, and
actually took great pride in keeping it healthy, shiny and well brushed. But she had just turned 17, and she
was beginning to feel that her hair was a symbol of her childhood, holding her back from being the young
adult she wanted to be.
So she booked an appointment at her hair salon and told her hairdresser of her plans. She arrived at the
salon full of both excitement and concern, that somehow she was beginning a new phase of her life, but
she would look radically different. It seemed both simple and complex at the same time: she considered
it simple when she wanted to calm her nerves about taking a big step, but it became complex when she
thought about how she was losing something that had been a part of her for so long.
When her hairdresser called her into the chair, Julie got a sick feeling in her stomach, but she tried to tell
herself, ‘It’s just a haircut’, and she must have repeated that to herself ten times by the time she made it to
the chair. Her hairdresser asked her how she was feeling, and there was no covering it up: ‘I’m nervous!’
she replied. Her hairdresser asked her if this is what she really wanted to do, and whether perhaps they
should just do a trim. Julie said in her most convincing voice - in an effort to convince herself most of
all - ‘No, it’s time to let go.’
Her hairdresser combed her hair, taking a few moments to do so, and with each passing moment, Julie was
on tenterhooks, knowing that the hairdresser’s hands would soon be holding scissors which would slice
through her hair, taking just seconds to do so Her hairdresser asked her how school was, and Julie replied
without thinking, ‘It’s fine. I’ve got a lot of difficult classes and I’m quite busy all the time.’ The truth was
that she found her classes to be quite easy and she was busy sometimes, but not all of the time. She didn’t
know why she’d lied - she simply couldn’t concentrate on anything other than what the hairdresser was
about to do.
Her hairdresser put the comb down and picked up the scissors. ‘This is the moment of truth. Are we going
ahead then?’ her hairdresser asked sincerely. Julie took a deep breath and nodded her head affirmatively
Her hairdresser took each section of hair at a time and chopped several centimetres off. It was soon done,
but the sense of relief that Julie had hoped would come over her, didn’t. It remained far from her, and she
was even more nervous than before.
Her hairdresser finished trimming the ends so that the style was even, and she cut some of the hair around
Julie’s face so that her face was better framed. Julie looked in the mirror, if only for a brief moment, and she
felt like a totally different person, but less confident than she’d imagined and more like someone who was
unsure of the world. Her hairdresser, sensing Julie’s unease, told her she’d get used to it and assured her
she looked beautiful. Those kind words were quite helpful for Julie’s mood, and as she left the salon, she
began to forget about her nervousness. In fact, after walking down the street a few blocks, she randomly
caught her reflection in a window. She saw the person she had wanted to see all along, and she finally felt
satisfied with her decision.

You will not have more than 1.5 minutes to read it.
Cameras have changed a lot in the last hundred years. Most cameras made today are
digital and can easily fit in your hand. Mobile phones often double as cameras. The quality
of these types of cameras has improved significantly too.
We are even beginning to see cameras installed in eyewear. Researchers have built
cameras so small, they can fit on the frame of a persons glasses. These cameras can even
record video. It’s like something out of a spy novel, except it’s now a reality. A consumer
can actually buy a pair of glasses such as these.
Even more remarkable is the idea of placing a camera in a contact lens. It has been done,
although the technology is in its early stages. The makers hope it can help blind people
to detect things around them. There are no plans to turn it into a consumer product,
at least not yet.

1.	Cities from above	5. Famous residences
2.	River crossings	6. Underground travels
3.	Honouring peace	7. A famous fight
4.	Historic towns	8. High-rise living
A.	Great historical battlegrounds are often marked on maps so people can visit them and learn about
the sacrifices others made for a cause. In Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, USA, is the site of the Battle
of Gettysburg, which was a turning point m the American Civil War. The area is now preserved
as a national landmark in memory of an important time in American history.
B.	Some very famous people have had their birthplaces turned into museums. This is true of Elvis, the ‘king’
of rock and roll, who was born in Memphis, Tennessee. Visitors can enter his home and see where he
slept, ate, and spent his free time. In England, one of the many examples of this is in Portsmouth,
where people can visit the birthplace of Charles Dickens, which is also a museum.
C.	Visiting a famous tower or high-rise building has the added bonus that not only can you view the
building, but you can go to the top and view an entire city. Take the Eiffel Tower or the Empire State
Building, for example. Both are located in famous cities, both are majestic to see from the ground, and
both allow visitors to climb to the top and see for kilometres in every direction.
D.	High in the Peruvian Andes lies Machu Picchu, an Inca settlement founded hundreds of years ago.
People from all over the world flock to this site because it is one of the most peculiar settlements of any
ancient civilisation. Situated almost 2,500 metres above sea level, it was a difficult place to reach all
those many years ago, and the views of the settlement are breath-taking.
E.	Located in northern Greece are a number of bridges that have fascinated architects for years. People
in the field often travel to study these bridges, which are a marvel to look at, to imagine how they
were built hundreds of years ago. The techniques used to build them are still applicable today, and
aside from their marvellous construction, they are located in rugged terrain that is equally stunning
to view.
E Cities in the world that have existed for thousands of years - think Athens, Rome, Cairo and Damascus -
have areas today that are considered bld towns’, which have a great deal of character and are magnificent
to wander around. While the old towns haven’t existed as long as the cities have been inhabited, they
were built hundreds of years ago and give those who visit them a taste of a different era.
G. Many of the world’s greatest cities have massive structures built to commemorate a turning point in
a country’s history. Paris’s Arc de Triomphe honours victory in the French wars and Napoleonic wars
that occurred at the turn of the 19th century. Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate was built as a symbol of peace
in 18th-century Prussia. Aside from honouring history, they are attractive monuments and give an air
of grandeur to their cities.

Egg whites
Health-food crazes change not only the eating habits of a lot of people, but also the supply and demand
of food. It has recently become quite popular to order omelettes made with egg whites only, A.
Because of their supposed health benefits, and because the yolk is high in fat and cholesterol, the whites
are in high demand and the yolks are being tossed aside.
And the trend doesn’t just affect omelettes. Health-conscious Americans have moved beyond the yolk-
free omelette В.
Although not so much of a problem in the UK, as the egg-white craze hasn’t really taken off there yet,
the US is facing a shortage of egg whites. Egg suppliers there have noted an increase in the sales price
of egg whites to nearly double what it was in the recent past, C.
A curious question is where all the unused yolks go. Considering that it’s such a huge waste, one might
wonder how responsible this eating habit is for the world’s food supply. One company that supplies egg
whites says that every single yolk that they separate from the egg is sold to other food companies. Still,
for restaurants that buy whole eggs and discard the yolks to make their omelettes, D.
On top of that, recent studies have demonstrated that egg yolks are not that bad for you. In fact, the yolks,
although fatty and higher in calories, contain all the nutrients, E.
Nonetheless, the egg-white craze may be here for a while. Supporters claim there’s no better way to get
the amount of protein an egg white provides, without calories or fat. The only deterrent could possibly
be flavour, F.
1.	and the role they play in raising cholesterol in our bodies is small
2.	the bulk of the yolks are seen going down the drain
3.	the clear part of the egg which is fat-free and high in protein
4.	as egg whites are not known to be full of it
5.	to demand egg white-only burritos, sandwiches and shakes
6.	the worldwide demand for egg whites seems to be on the rise
7.	and supplies of egg whites are at an all-time low

A cat’s adventures
When we first got our cat Gina, I thought taking care of her would be a rather leisurely activity. But Gina
has the most peculiar of behaviours, and I’m not just referring to her tendency to chase after the occasional
trapped house fly or her love of licking drips from the sink tap. She does something that I imagine few
other cats in the world would do. If you can believe this, she commutes by bus every single day to the zoo
to gaze at wild animals.
Gina’s story is so incredible she’s even been featured on the national TV news. She’s been filmed hopping
onto the bus, which comes like clockwork every day to the stop two blocks down the street from our
house. It doesn’t even pass by our house; I can’t imagine how she found the stop. Actually, there are many
things I can’t imagine about this scenario, such as how she knows the bus schedule or where the stop for
the zoo is. We’re never even taken her to the zoo. Why on earth would we? And surely we would have gone
by car rather than by bus if we had
It’s anyone’s guess how long she had been doing it before we realised what was going on. She’d scratch
at the door m the morning for us to let her out. I would see her trot out of the garden and down the street,
but I never thought anything of it. After a while, I began to notice that she’d be gone for several hours, but
would always return at 4 pm, hungry. I started to suspect something when it occurred to me that she was
leaving the house at exactly the same time every day.
I decided to investigate this odd routine. One day I waited until she was just out of sight. I snuck out
of the house, careful not to make any noise to disturb her. 1 left the property from the same place as she
did. I spotted her a block down, her tail fluffing up m the air as she looked both ways before crossing
to the next block. ‘We teach our kids that, not our cats!’ I thought to myself. At any rate, when she got
a bit further ahead, I saw her arrive at the bus stop. I stood very still, not taking my eyes off her for
a second. Then the bus came, the doors opened, and she just jumped right in. I couldn’t believe it! Standing
there dumbfounded, I realised something that made my eyes widen and my eyebrows rise - there were
no passengers waiting at the stop. Why did the bus even stop?
So, in my distressed state, my knee-jerk reaction was to, well, run after the bus! I ran like an Olympic
sprinter, and luckily there was little traffic at the junctions. I finally caught up with the bus at a red light.
I banged on the door, the driver opened it and there was Gina, perched on the dashboard. She saw me
and miaowed.
‘My cat! I shrieked. ‘How is this possible?’ The driver said she had been doing it for months, getting off
at the zoo, and getting back on later in the day. I grabbed her, took her home and apologised for my frantic
behaviour, but the next day she was off again, so I decided to pay a visit to the zoo, to see just exactly what
she was getting up to on the next stage of her daily adventure...

Konstantin Tsiolkovsky
Konstantin Tsiolkovsky was a Russian scientist. He worked during
26 the late 19th and early 20th century on the
of theories in rocket science and space flight, and is considered one
of the pioneers of astronautics.
His work with rockets can be easily seen today. The jet engines
that steer rockets in space were developed by Tsiolkovsky,
and the airlocks that allow astronauts to enter and exit space were
27 his as well.
Tsiolkovsky often had trouble getting funding for his projects.
28 He was quite for his time, and the Russian
science programmes didn’t always believe in his work.
In 1903 he published an article which proved that rockets could fly into
29 space. Although it is now a basic principle, no
one in his field appreciated the article when it was written.
Many of Tsiolkovsky s ideas went on to be used in rocket science
and space travel. Like most scientists, though, some of his ideas were
30 considered and were ignored as a result.
31
One such idea stated that humans would move
to other parts of our galaxy to live. Science is still a long way off that,
but the idea is still alive.

for beating his opponents quickly, he knew this time would be different.
Arthur wouldn’t be the first chess player to do battle with a computer. There was Garry Kasparov,
who competed 34  the computer Deep Blue in 1996. He ultimately won that tournament,
but lost a year later.
Arthur had not lost a single tournament yet, so to choose to battle a computer could be a big mistake.
But, considering he had 35

The day of the tournament came, and Arthur suffered huge disappointment. He lost both matches that
day, which upset him greatly, and he almost felt like throwing in the 37
the rest of the tournament.
Rather than be a 38	 loser, however, Arthur got back out there the next day. He lost
three matches, but won the very last one. Although this victory was bittersweet, Arthur was happy that

Task 1 Imagine that you are preparing a project with your friend. You have found some
interesting material for the presentation and you want to read this text to your friend.
You have 1.5 minutes to read the text silently, then be ready to read it aloud.
You will not have more than 1.5 minutes to read it.
Certain areas of the world are known as blue zones. These are places where people tend
to live the longest. Currently there are five of these zones, which are located in specific
regions of Greece, Italy, Central America, California and Japan.
Researchers have discovered that more people in these areas live to be 100, or beyond
the age of 90, than anywhere else. They have also found that cancer and heart disease
occur less often in blue zones.
Why these zones are so beneficial to life has also been studied. It seems that people
in these places put family before any other concern, such as work or money. There are
fewer smokers and people tend to consume less meat. Physical activity is part of daily life,
and people of all ages meet and communicate with one another.
Task 2 Study the advertisement.
You are considering using the service and you would like to get more information.
