Transcript
When you go to live in a new country, there are so many things you have to get used to. At the beginning, everything is new and exciting, and there is an overload on your senses: colours, food and clothes, all seem different and it is a bit like being a tourist and very enjoyable.
But then, as you realize that you are not going to go home and life takes on a different look, and things you might not think about at home begin to irritate you. You tend to hang around with people from your own country or other foreigners and compare the people and their habits unfavourably to things back home. Here is a word in Australia known as “the winging pomp syndrome”.
If you get past that stage and begin to integrate more, then life becomes easier and more enjoyable, and you begin to find both your own behaviour and those of the host culture more amusing.
The final stage is really when you have to make a decision: to go or to stay. But this is the best one because you begin to feel at home and, although, you may still criticize, is more how you would your own home country. And you feel at home and like the people more and more.

Task 1. Read the article
Are zoos a good thing?
Critics of zoos would argue that animals often suffer physically and mentally by being enclosed. Even the best artificial environments can't come close to matching the space, diversity, and freedom that animals have in their natural habitats. This deprivation causes many zoo animals to become stressed or mentally ill. Capturing animals in the wild also causes much suffering by splitting up families. Some zoos make animals behave unnaturally: for example, marine parks often force dolphins and whales to perform tricks.
On the other hand, by bringing people and animals together, zoos have the potential to educate the public about conservation issues and inspire people to protect animals and their habitats. Some zoos provide a safe environment for animals which have been mistreated in circuses, or pets which have been abandoned. Zoos also carry out important research into subjects like animal behaviour and how to treat illnesses.
One of the most important modern functions of zoos is supporting international breeding programmes, particularly for endangered species. In the wild, some of the rarest species have difficulty in finding mates and breeding, and they might also be threatened by poachers, loss of their habitat and predators.
So, are zoos good for animals or not? Perhaps it all depends on how well individual zoos are managed, and the benefits of zoos can surely outweigh their harmful effects. However, it is understandable that many people believe imprisoning animals for any reason is simply wrong.
Fill in the gaps with the correct word from the box. There are EXTRA TWO WORDS.
- It is hardly possible to replace animals’ natural .
- Whales and dolphins in zoos are often made to perform .
- Zoos give a harmless for creatures which have been abused or deserted.
- Zoos conduct investigations into how to cure .
- Worldwide rearing projects are especially significant for which are seriously at risk of extinction.
- In natural home, some sparse animals experience problems in meeting .
Writing
Task 2. Write an article for a school magazine on the rubric “Our animal world”. Choose one endangered animal and give the following information about it:
- interesting / shocking facts about it
- the ways of preservation
- some methods that have been successful in preserving animals

Transcript
I know it sounds obvious, but you really must prepare before the interview. Prepare your questions in advance. Think about the order you will ask them. A rule of thumb is to ask questions about facts first, leaving opinion questions until later. Most people find questions about facts much easier to answer, so they start to feel more at ease.
Try to interview the person in a place which is appropriate to the interview – their place of work, for example. Interviewing a person on their territory can put them at ease, and also provide you with colour for your story.
How you start the interview can influence how successful it will be. Set your ground rules. For example, you may want to insist that the interviewee says in advance if they want what they say to be off the record.
During the interview, you should be polite but firm. Use your list of questions as a base for the interview, not a rigid script. Ask for evidence to support any claims made by the interviewee. Don’t be afraid to ask ‘How do you know that?’ But never ask leading questions. Let the person say what they want to say, not what you want them to say.

Reading
Task 1. Read the article.
A
A chronicle of timekeeping
Before the invention of artificial light, the moon had greater social impact. And, for those living near the equator in particular, its waxing and waning was more conspicuous than the passing of the seasons. Hence, the calendars that were developed at the lower latitudes were influenced more by the lunar cycle than by the solar year. In more northern climes, however, where seasonal agriculture was practised, the solar year became more crucial. As the Roman Empire expanded northward, it organised its activity chart for the most part around the solar year.
B
In order to track temporal hours during the day, inventors created sundials, which indicate time by the length or direction of the sun's shadow. The sundial's counterpart, the water clock, was designed to measure temporal hours at night. One of the first water clocks was a basin with a small hole near the bottom through which the water dripped out. The falling water level denoted the passing hour as it dipped below hour lines inscribed on the inner surface. Although these devices performed satisfactorily around the Mediterranean, they could not always be depended on in the cloudy and often freezing weather of northern Europe.
C
The advent of the mechanical clock meant that although it could be adjusted to maintain temporal hours, it was naturally suited to keeping equal ones. With these, however, arose the question of when to begin counting, and so, in the early 14th century, a number of systems evolved. The schemes that divided the day into 24 equal parts varied according to the start of the count: Italian hours began at sunset, Babylonian hours at sunrise, astronomical hours at midday and 'great clock' hours, used for some large public clocks in Germany, at midnight. Eventually these were superseded by 'small clock', or French, hours, which split the day into two 12-hour periods commencing at midnight.
Which paragraph contains the following information? Write the correct letter A, B or C.
A description of an early timekeeping invention affected by cold temperatures
- An explanation of the importance of geography in the development of the calendar in farming
- Details of the simultaneous efforts of different societies to calculate time using uniform hours
- Information about the day being divided into two equal halves
Writing
Task 2. Write an information report on two timekeeping devices comparing and contrasting them (e.g. a sundial, a pendulum clock, an astronomical clock, etc.). Include the plan of your information report. Please, use impersonal structures as much as possible.

Transcript
Speaker 1: My first job was when I was a student. I worked part-time in a hospital and had to fetch them and wheel them to different hospital departments for treatment. It was hard physical work, you know, lifting people and helping them. But the thing I found most fascinating was chatting to the patients I had to collect. I think I learnt a lot form them in fact.
Speaker 2: I got my first job as an assistant receptionist in a hotel when I was just eighteen. They gave me lots of responsibility quite early on so I learned to do all sorts of things which you need for almost any job, really practical thongs like dealing with people, answering the phone correctly, maintaining the hotel database.
Speaker 3: Well this wasn’t my first job, but it was what I’d call my first serious job. I worked behind the counter in a bank. Before starting, I’d expected the work to be quite routing until I was given more responsibility, but in fact it was very challenging right from the beginning.
Speaker 4: It wasn’t a very well-paid job. I worked in a call centre for a large computer company and got phone calls from the people with problems. I felt at the time that I was doing something really useful because there were all these people phoning in with urgent problems to do with their computers.
Speaker 5: I did my first job for nearly fifteen years. After university I started working at the same school until just about a year ago. I have to say though I found teaching fun and challenging. On the other hand, I always had a great deal of homework to correct in the evenings and I hated that.

Reading Task 1. You are going to read an article for American teenagers going overseas to study. Studying Abroad Have you always dreamt of travelling, meeting lots of different people, and maybe picking up a language or two? No matter what country you live in, you can fly over the world’s highest waterfalls in Venezuela, learn world trade in Japan, study in France, or taking dancing lessons in Ghana. How? You could join a study program abroad, where high school and college students live with a host family in a foreign country. Semester, summer, and year-long programs allow you to attend school, take intensive language courses, or perform community service in another country. Read on to learn more about study abroad programs. Besides excitement of travel, you will experience new customs, holidays, foods, art, music, and politics firsthand. But perhaps more importantly, the different circumstances mean you will learn a lot not only about cultures and people but also about yourself. This is because your viewpoint will be of an active member of the community, not as a tourist. Another reason for studying abroad is that you’ll become more self-assured. Christina studied in Caracas, Venezuela, a city of 10 million people and a huge change from her hometown of 35.000! Christina says she learned how to be better at standing up for herself and her beliefs and to express herself in another language. What could give you more self-confidence than that? In addition, living away from home can also help you adjust in the transition to college and adulthood. |
Although many academic programs abroad have academic requirements, you do not necessarily have to have the highest grades or marks to be eligible. And most do not have language requirements. Who you are is as important as your academic record. Study programs abroad look for students who are independent, self-assured, enjoy new experiences and different types of people, and can handle challenges.
If you really hate change and don’t like the idea of figuring things out all on your own, then studying abroad may not be for you. It’s important to be honest with yourself and really think about what you expect. You could end up having a miserable time if you don’t!
Do the following statements reflect the claims the writer in the reading passage?
YES If the statement reflects the claims of the writer
NO If the statement contradicts the claims of the writer
NOT GIVEN If it is impossible to say what the writer thinks about this
- The biggest world trading organizations are located in Japan.
- The study abroad programs allow you to acquire a foreign language.
- It takes a person at least a year to feel themselves as an active member of the local community.
- The only reason for studying abroad is gaining self-confidence.
- Studying abroad may be painful for people who are not ready for changes.
Writing
Task 2. You should write a short essay on the following topic. Please, organize your ideas logically and use a range of past and present forms appropriately.
People with higher education are more able to make a social change than people who do not have. Write your ideas for and against this statement.

So, I’m going to tell you about my dad’s ten minutes of fame. It was when he starred on a TV show ‘The Big Question’ a few years ago and it happened like this.
My father took a hired car to – because ours was very old – and he drove to the TV studios. When he got there, he suddenly realized that he’d left his tie behind, so he had to ask the producer if they’d got a spare one at the studio he could borrow. Anyway, he was told he didn’t need one. Oh, I forgot to say, he didn’t really study for the show – you know, by reading encyclopedias and so on. He told me later that the only thing he’d done was what he always did in the evening, which was read the popular press that we hadn’t sold during the day and pick up lots of trivial facts.
When the show started, I think my dad felt quite lucky and very surprised to be able to answer his questions, which were all about general knowledge and nothing too specialist, because he actually managed to win. The show was recorded and came on nearly two months later and we almost missed it because we’d almost forgotten about it by then.
My dad won a big television with a wide screen – we’ve still got it at home, and it’s great for the football – and a big fluffy elephant, which he gave to me. So that was my dad’s ten minutes of fame. I wonder what mine will be.
The listening task was adapted from the course book by Guy Brook-Hart ‘Complete First’ 2nd edition SB, p.88

Reading Task 1. Read the text about production of silk and complete the task. The story of silk Silk is a fine, smooth material produced from the cocoons - soft protective shells - that are made by mulberry silkworms (insect larvae). Legend has it that it was Lei Tzu, wife of the Yellow Emperor, ruler of China in about 3000 BC, who discovered silkworms. One account of the story goes that as she was taking a walk in her husband’s gardens, she discovered that silkworms were responsible for the destruction of several mulberry trees. She collected a number of cocoons and sat down to have a rest. It just so happened that while she was sipping some tea, one of the cocoons that she had collected landed in the hot tea and started to unravel into a fine thread. Lei Tzu found that she could wind this thread around her fingers. Subsequently, she persuaded her husband to allow her to rear silkworms on a grove of mulberry trees. She also devised a special reel to draw the fibres from the cocoon into a single thread so that they would be strong enough to be woven into fabric. While it is unknown just how much of this is true, it is certainly known that silk cultivation has existed in China for several millennia. Originally, silkworm farming was solely restricted to women, and it was they who were responsible for the growing, harvesting and weaving. Silk quickly grew into a symbol of status, and originally, only royalty were entitled to have clothes made of silk. The rules were gradually relaxed over the years until finally during the Qing Dynasty (1644—1911 AD), even peasants, the lowest caste, were also entitled to wear silk. Sometime during the Han Dynasty (206 BC-220 AD), silk was so prized that it was also used as a unit of currency. Government officials were paid their salary in silk, and farmers paid their taxes in grain and silk. Silk was also used as diplomatic gifts by the emperor. Fishing lines, bowstrings, musical instruments and paper were all made using silk. The earliest indication of silk paper being used was discovered in the tomb of a noble who is estimated to have died around 168 AD. |
