II. READING 

Part 1:  Read the passage and choose the correct answer for the following questions:

All at once Hazel was coming in through the French windows, pulling off gardening gloves, and Bill was entering through the door, both at once. So I only had time to take one quick look at her before I turned to face him. All very confusing. What that first glimpse showed me was that time had thickened her figure but didn’t seem to have made much difference to her face. It still had good skin and youthful outlines. She was holding a bunch of roses – must have been cutting them in the garden while waiting for me. The gardening gloves lent a delightfully informal touch. It was quite an entrance, though Bill spoilt it a bit by making his at the same time.

Bill seemed longer and thinner. His tightly massed hair had a tinge of grey. Apart from that, twenty years had done nothing to him, except deepen the lines of thoughtfulness that had already, when I knew him, begun to spread across his face. Or was that all? I looked at him again, more carefully, as he looked away from me at Hazel. Weren’t his eyes different somehow? More inward looking than ever? Gazing in not merely at his thoughts, but at something else, something he was keeping hidden or perhaps protecting.

Then we were chattering and taking glasses in our hands, and I came back to earth. For the first ten minutes we were all so defensive, so carefully probing, that nobody learnt anything. Bill had forgotten me altogether, that much was clear. He was engaged in getting to know me from scratch, very cautiously so as not to hit a wrong note, with the object of getting me to contribute a big subscription to his African project. I kept trying to absorb details about Hazel, but Bill was talking earnestly about African education, and the strain of appearing to concentrate while actually thinking about his wife proved so great that I decided it would be easier just to concentrate. So I did. I let him hammer away for about ten more minutes, and then the daughter, who seemed to be acting as parlourmaid, showed in another visitor. Evidently we were to be four at lunch.

1. What effect had time had on Hazel and Bill?

A. They had both lost weight.                                           B. They were more withdrawn.

C. They hadn’t changed at all.                                           D. They had changed in subtle ways.

2. When they all started talking, the writer

A. relaxed at last.                                                               B. stopped dreaming.

C. spoke most to Hazel.                                                     D. began to remember things.

3. The writer found the first part of their conversation

A. sentimental.                   B. irritating.                 C. uninformative.                    D. trivial.

4. Why did Bill speak seriously?

A. He wanted some money from the writer.                                 B. He did not remember the writer.

C. His wife was present.                                                                D. He was talking about the past.

5. In the end the writer found Bill’s conversation

A. monotonous                  B. convincing              C. thought-provoking             D. instructive

Part 2: Read the following passage and choose the most suitable word for each space.

Swimming

Swimming is a very popular sporting activity so that many people have taken up in order for to keep fit or relax. Some even take part in competitions. Swimming may look like simple, however it requires a great deal of practice. There are a number of different strokes which can to be used while swimming and most people have their own special preference. The most common stroke is the “ crawl”.

Actually, the crawl wasn’t being developed until the early nineteenth century. It’s probably the most easiest stroke. Another one stroke is the back - stroke, which is used in competition or simply for relaxing. Then there is the butterfly - stroke, which is quite difficult and used mostly in competition. It resembles the up - and - down movements of a dolphin. All this, of course, it doesn’t mean that it is a sport for the young only. The elderly and disabled can benefit greatly from swimming. This is because of minimal strain is put on the limbs and back while are exercising the heart and lungs at the same time.

B. READING (6M)

I. You are going to read a magazine article about friendship. Seven sentences have been removed from the article.

Choose from the sentences A-H the one which fits each gap (1-6). There is one extra sentence which you do not need to use.

A. They spent all their weekends together, and several evenings a week too .

B. There is much less time each day and each week to 'feed' the friendship, to prevent it from dying.

C. For one production, she and another woman called Carol had to work very closely together on the script.

D. It's actually very difficult to sustain this number of friends into adulthood.

E. Because of this, I'm now much more careful about the friends I choose.

F. They enjoy each other's company while they're working together, but they don't really socialize outside of the working environment.

G. Real friends are actually incredibly hard to find.

H. For this way of viewing friendship to be successful, it requires both people in the relationship to feel the same way about the other person.

A FRIEND IN NEED...

It's fairly easy to define what a relative is. It's a person you're biologically related to, or who has married someone you are biologically related to, or has been adopted, for example, by someone you're biologically related to. In short, it's someone in your family. It's not quite so easy to define what a friend is.

On an obvious level, our friends are people who are not family members whose company we enjoy. However, what about two people who work closely together in an office? 0. ....F... Are they friends, or just colleagues? And consider two people who were best friends at school, but haven't been in contact with each other for over twenty 'years. Are they still friends? Or should we say they used to be friends but aren't any more?

'So what?', you might say. 'Perhaps friendship is tricky to define, but that doesn't matter. If you think you're friends with someone then you are, but if you don't then you're not.' In many cases, that might be a good general rule, but there are potential problems with it. 1. ............. There are countless examples of relationships where that doesn't happen.

Take Jane, for example. She joined an amateur dramatics club, which puts on plays two or three times a year. 2............... They met several times a week, and frequently called each other on the phone. As Jane says: 'I enjoyed working with Carol, and we got on well together. It was really difficult when we'd finished the play, though. Carol still wanted to meet up and chat regularly. I didn't, mainly because I just didn't have time. I've got a family and a busy social life, and I wasn't looking for any more close friends. How do you tell someone who thinks they're your close friend that really they're not?'

A further problem is the issue of 'fair-weather friends'. These are people who you consider to be your friends, but prove themselves not to be when things get tough. Jake, for example, thought that Dave was a really close friend. 3......... They both shared an interest in movies, and had the same sense of humour. 'Everything was great,' says Jake, 'until my mother became ill. It was a troubling time for me, and I got a bit depressed. I needed Dave to give me some support, but he wasn't interested. He just disappeared.' What Jake needed, and what Dave was not, was the kind of friend referred to in the saying 'a friend in need is a friend indeed'. The idea behind this is that if you are still the friend of someone when they are 'in need', when they need something such as help from you, then you are a real friend. You're not a 'fair-weather friend'. 4...................... Most adults say that they only have two or three real friends - people they can totally rely on in difficult times.

At school, children and teenagers often have one or two 'best friends' I but they also have a wide circle of other friends - twenty or thirty is not uncommon. 5. ...................... The main reasons for this are time and shared experience. Children see their friends every day (during term time) and have plenty of opportunity to 'feed' the friendship - in class, during the breaks, after school. Also, of course, all the members of the group live close together, and have a shared interest (the school and what happens there). With adults, this is rarely possible. 6......................

And, of course, people move apart geographically when they grow up, and lose the sense of a shared interest when they start working in different fields, or spending their time in different ways. Very few of our friends from school remain real, close friends twenty years later.

MODEL:

Many young people these days take a year off in between leaving school and starting university. 'Gap years', as they have come to be known, are seen as a time out from studying to gain life experience, reassess goals, broaden horizons, travel and perhaps earn some money. However, is it worth taking a year off or is it a complete waste of time?

There are a number of advantages to taking a gap year. To start with, a break from studying can give you time to think about your future and make sure you are on the right career path. Secondly, having  new experiences can improve your confidence and broaden your mind. In addition, any work experience you gain will help your career prospects later and give you the opportunity to learn new skills. Finally, any money you earn could go towards paying for your education once you return to studying.

On the other hand, there are also some disadvantages to taking a year off studying. Firstly,

the time away may have distracted you from your studies and you may have problems applying yourself to your studies on your  return to student life. Secondly, delaying completing your education means that you delay starting your career and therefore delay earning a living, which may put you at a disadvantage with your peers.

Overall, there are a number of strong points both for and against taking a gap year. However, I feel that the pros outweigh the cons and as long as you make the most of your time off you will benefit greatly in terms of experience and skills.

II. (2M)

Check the following:

• content - have students answered the question fully?

• organization and cohesion - with the corrections, is their answer easy to read?

• range - have they used a wide range of vocabulary and grammar?

• accuracy - have they checked your spelling?

The bar charts show the responses to a worldwide online questionnaire on how optimistic people felt in 2005 and what was most important for their happiness.

The most striking feature of the charts is that although the responses were fairly positive, the results were less so than in 2004.

The first bar chart shows that the majority (nearly 50%) felt the same as the year before,

though there was approximately a 5% drop in confidence. In comparison, only about 35% of

people felt better about the year ahead, (an approximate 10%drop from the year before) while

nearly 20% were more pessimistic, an increment of 5%.

 In the second bar chart, by far the most popular answer given was health. About 76% of

respondents said this was necessary for their happiness.

 Next in popularity was the need for good family relations. Just over 60% of people specified this.

People's job are obviously also important for their happiness as job satisfaction and security

received around 40% and 20% of the vote respectively.

 Least popular, and both receiving about 15%of the vote, were material possessions and leisure activities.

 In conclusion, it is clear that people do not appear to connect money with happiness.
