Part 3:  Read the following passage and answer the questions. (5 poínts)

Meetíngs can waste a great deal of time. But you can make your meeting run more smoothly by following a few simple rules. First, have an agenda. This will help keep you focused on what is important. Next, decide who needs to be involved. More people means less efficient discussion. Finally, keep the discussion moving. Thank each speaker as he or she finishes and move on to the next speaker. This encourages people to make their remarks short. And don’t forget: what happens after a meeting is more important than what happens during the meeting. The skills used then are more professional and less procedural. So no matter how well you run a meeting, it is the work that gets done after the meeting that is important.

ADVENTURE IN PERU

0 I’ve just been to see a film is called Touching the Void. It’s 00 about two climbers who decided to go climbing in the mountains 1 in Peru. It took them two days to reach the mountain they 2 had been decided to climb because it was in such a remote place. 3 They left a companion and the most of their supplies at a base camp, 4 optimistically thinking about they would be back in a couple of 5 days. After a difficult climb, they reached at the top of 6 the mountain. It was then that everything started to go wrong. 7 Because of one climber had broken his leg, he had to be 8 lowered down the mountain by means of a rope. His leg it was so 9 much painful that he couldn’t stand on it. After a very exciting bit 10 of the film, which I won’t describe, he found by himself alone 11 at the bottom of a crevasse. He managed to climb out and eventually 12 crawl to safety. The cold was so intense that he got frostbite in his hands, 13 but he was carried on, dragging himself down a glacier and across rocks. 14 When he arrived at the base camp, his friends were too amazed to see him. 15 They couldn’t believe that in despite his broken leg, he had managed to reach the camp.
