Reading.t n you are q;nq to read a brief summary of the book " Black Beauty". Choose the most suitable heading from the listt " (n-H) foi"..i part (1-6) of the article. There is one extra heading which you do not need to use' There is an

example at the beginning (0).

Anna Sewell (1820-1878) wrote only one novel during her

lifetime, a book describing the l ife of a beautiful, black horse,

Black Beauty. Sewell was very concerned about animals and

used the book to write about the terrible treatment of horses in

England at the time. The book is written from the point of view

of the horse, which helps us to understand the influence that

good and bad treatment had on the horses in the story. Black

Beauty had a great effect on the treatment of animals and

changed the way that people thought about horses.

Black Beauty spent his early years in a picturesque, green field

with his mother and some other young colts. when rt was time

for him to be trained to serve men, he was gently and patiently

broken in by his master. He learned to wear a saddle and bridle,

and carry a human quietly on his back.

Black Beauty learnt about the way horses can suffer because of

men very early in l i fe. He witnessed a hunting expedition in

which a horse was pushed too hard and fast by an inexperienced

and overconfident rider. The consequences were tragic. The rider

took a fall that kil led him and the fine horse broke his leg and

was then shot.

At his next home, one of the horses with whom he shared a

stable had the reputation of being wild and aggressive. This

horse, Ginger, said this was because she had been treated very

badly at a young age. Ginger was taken away from her mother,

not long after birth, and was trained to work, in a very rough

manner, by men who did not care for horses. Although her new

master and his employees were very kind, she could not help

being suspicious of men.

Black Beauty's kind owner was forced to move abroad for the

sake of his wife's health. This marked the beginning of a string

of owners with different personalities' Some were well-

intentioned but allowed their grooms full control of their

F4

BIACK BEAUTYTHE LIFE OF A HORSE IN NINETEENTH CENTURY ENCLAND

animals. Unfortunately, in Black Beauty's case, this often proved

to be harmful. He was often either neglected or misused.

Fortunately, after some time Black Beauty was bought by Jerry

Barker, a kind cab owner. There, he was treated very well '

Although being a cab horse was very hard work, Black Beauty

always did his best because he enjoyed pleasing his master.

Black Beauty was very well cared for. He was given good food to

eat, a warm stable to sleep in and lots of kind words' Black

Beauty learned many things from his new owner, such as the

advantages of not being greedy and of being fair and krnd to all

creatures. Black Beauty spent a couple of very happy years

there.

This oleasant l i fe came to a sudden end when Jerry was forced

to sell his horses. After several other owners, Black Beauty was

sold to Nicholas Skinner. He had to work every day with no rest,

insufficient food and poor accommodation' Although he was

sti l l a cab horse, it was a drfferent world. Black Beauty's various

drivers would swear at him and whip him. Eventually, Black

Beauty became very l l l from all this hard work and bad

treatment. His owner wanted to have him kil led when he could

no longer do the job. Luckily, a vet convinced Skinner to allow

Black Beauty to rest and recovel and then sell him, so that he

would make a bigger profit. The owner agreed to have the

horse's' l i fe spared, but only for the sake of money'

6 I

After spending years on London's streets, Black Beauty's next

home was a pleasant farm, with a caring master. After nursing

him back to good health, the farmer decided that Black Beauty

needed to be in a place more appropriate than a farm. He sold

Black Beauty to two kind young sisters, who lived on a pleasant

country estate with a large, green meadow. Here the weary but

content horse finally found the rest and peace of mind that he

so desired and deserved.

wind power is an aLternative energy source which has been used formany years in countries ljke Holland and Denmark.

The strong winds whichblow around Britain's coastline could easily be used to provide us with allour energy needs. AII we need to do now is set up some wind farms.

wind farms are actually arrays of electricity-generating wind turbines.which are tall, slim towers with two or three rotor blades at the top. Thewind turns the blades, which spin a pote.

52: Air pollution is caused by too much traffic inthe city centre, factories pollutinq the air, andtoo much rubbish being burned etc

Suggested Answer Key

Main Body. introduce a park and ride scheme - fewer cars in the city

centre. create an industrial park - less smoke over the city. introduce a recycling scheme - less rubbish being burnedConclusionThere are many ways to reduce the level of air pollution in ourcities. Adopting some of these measures would certainly resultin cleaner skres and a healthier city for us all.

Cleaning up the Air in our CitY

How can we clean up the air rn our citres? Too much trafficin the crty centre, factories polluting the air and too muchrubbish being burned have all contributed to the dangerouslyhigh tevel of air pollution in our city. We need to take stepsbefore it is too late.

First of all, it would be a good idea if the council introduceda park and ride scheme. The result would be fewer cars in thecity centre and less traffic overall.

Another solutron would be to create an industrial park inthe suburbs. This would take the factories out of the city centreand result in less smoke over the city, which will make our aircleaner to breathe.

Finally, steps could be token to introduce a recyclingscheme. This would mean that less rubbish would be burnedand therefore there would be less black smoke over the city.

ln conclusion, there are many ways to reduce the level of airpollution in our cities. Adopting some of these measures wouldcertainly result in a cleaner and healthier city for us all. After all,as the Kenyan proverb says,"Treat the earth well, it was notgiven to you by your parents, it was loaned to you by yourchildren."

c Ask Ss to Iook at the pictures one at a time anddescribe what they see Then Ss answer the question.

Suggested Answer Key' ln the first picture, I can see two young women working in an

office. They seem to be discussing some papers, which are onthe desk. The desk is covered with papers and everyone tooksvery busy. ln the background there are other desks. Thewomen probably get up eaily so that they can get ready forwork. During their lunch break, they could go to the park or

a nearby fast food restaurant. After work, they may go toe gym or go out with friends. When they go home, they

probably have dinner and watch W for a while. Theyprobably don't go to bed very late because they have rc getup early the next morning.ln the second picture, I can see a young boy. He is just aboutto get onto the school bus and go to school. He is wearing ahooded coat, so it is probably quite cold. He is looking backand smiling. He probably doesn't need to get up so early. Hewould have lessons in the morning and afternoon. Atlunchtime, he and his classmates probablv have schooldinners in the school dining room. He probabiy comes homefrom school at about three thirty. After that t think he does hishomework and plays with his friends. He probably has hisevening meal and goes to bed quite early.ln the next picture, there is a young woman watching TV. ttseems to be late at night and fairly cool because she iscovered with a blanket. She is smiting, so perhaps she iswatching a comedy. She is fairly young, so she may be auniversity student. Perhaps she goes to lectures during theday and has lunch in the cafeteria at the university. Then, inthe evening, she probably goes jogging before she goes outwith her friends When she comes home, she may study orwatch TV before she goes to bedIt the next picture, there is a young woman walking to work.She looks like a business woman, so perhaps she is on herway to a business meeting. She is carrying a briefcase andseems to be in a hurry. She probably gets up early every

morning and commutes to work by bus or train. During theday, she probably attends lots of meetings and spends a lot oftime in her office working on presentations and reports. Sheprobably work late every day. By the time she goes home, it isprobably quite Iate, so I think she would go straight to bed.

. ln the last picture, there is a farmer driving a tractor. He iscasually dressed. He probably gets up very early everymorning so that he can do all his chores. He probably worksoutdoors most of the day, caring for the animals or makingrepairs. At lunchtime, he probably goes back to thefarmhouse and has a cooked lunch. ln the afternoon, hecontinues working until sunset, when he goes back to thefarmhouse for dinner. At night he probably watches TV for awhile. I think he watches the weather forecast every day. Ithink he also goes to bed very early every day.

that has already been mentioned in the text Read

the whole sentence Read out the options A-D

Help 5s decide on the correct answer by a process

of elimination (The correct answer is C because the

Suggested Answer Key

Dear Janet,How are you? I am sorry to hear that you are so stressed at the

moment. Here are a few things that might make you feel better'

First of atl, why don't you try to cut back on your working hours'

This would surely make you feel better. lf that is impossible, you could

try to take a few days off. You could go away for a few days and try to

pjut your problems at work aside. Then, you would feel refreshed and

would see everything in a new light.Another good idea would be to try to set aside some time for

yourself every day. You could read a book, listen to music, or simply

take a long, relaxing bath. l'm sure that you will soon feel a lot better

if you do this.I hope that my advice helps. Write and let me know what

happens.Yours,

Pam

Suggested Answer KeY

What is happenrng to our eating habits? ln today's fast

paced society, more and more people substitute fast food fo'

home cooked meals.They simply don't have the timeto prepare

balanced meals for themselves or their families. However, is tht:

trend really as unhealthy as the experts tell us?Fast food has a great deal to offer us. Firstly, fast food i:

convenient, because it is available whenever you want to eat'

After all, in today's society, people need to be able to eat twenti

four hours a day. Furthermore, our body needs a balanced die-'"

which means that we need some fats, sugars and salt in ou'

diet. We need to eat small amounts from all of the food groups

in order to maintain good health.On the other hand, fast food does have its drsadvantages

To begin with, fast food is not healthy because it doesn't provid'

you with enough vitamins and minerals. ln addition, fast fooc

contains large amounts of additives, as it is full of saturated fats

and other chemicals. Eating too many foods containing

additives will damage our health in the long run.Alt things considered, the best way to mqintain gooc

health is to eat whatever you want, but in moderation' As the

song says, "A tittle bit of what you fancy does you good."

Identity cards are also getting 'smarter'. Many countriesalready have a system which recluires their citizens to carnidentification cards. These cards usually inclucle personalinformation such as name, address and birth date as n,ellas a personal idcntification number. However, in the nearfuture, these cards will also contain a microchip. r,vhich willbe able to store a lot more informaticln. Usin,e thi,stechnology, one card will be able to replace vour drivinglicence, student card, medical card. library card. creditcard, birth certificate and most of the other pieces of lDthat we have to carry around with us.

The benefits of all these new ID systems are obvious.Imagine walking into yclur office at work.

anything precious just ly ing aroundThat's good advice, Neal A lot of people think that their belongings are safe iustbecause their doors are locked, but it doesn't hurt to lle extra careful, does it?

It certainly doesn't Another good idea is to leave a light on in the house when

you go out for the evening, but it's irnpoftant to remember that burglars are

not stupid I know a lot of people who leave their hall light on, but how rnany

people do you know who spend the evening sitting in the hall?

Not manylExact ly l Leave a lght on where you would normal ly be, let 's say, in the l iv ing

room, or in the bedroom That way i t looks as though you are actual ly in the

house As an extra safety measure, you could leave the radio on, or the

televis on, so that there s some nolse to scare of f the burglars Don' t leave i

on too loud, though, or your neighbours won' t be too happy - especta ly i

you are late homelGood point lNow, obviously, the best thjng you can do to prevent your house from be ng

burgled is to lnsta l a burglar a larm These are fa i r ly expenslve, but they are

by far the best way to secure your home l t 's best to do th is through a

reputable secur i ty f i rm in your areaRight And then of course you need to remember to set i t every t ime yo-

leave the houselHahal Yes Another th ing you can do, which I s t rongly recommend, Is to le '

your neighbours know when you are going to be away and ask them t .

keep an eye on your house You can of fer to do the same for them, too

Like a neiqhbourhood watch scheme, you mean?Exact ly Neighbourhood watch schemes are extremely successful -

he thing the Time Travellerheld in his hand was aglittering metallic framework,

no larger than a small clock, andvery delicately made. He took one ofthe small octagonal tables that werescattered about the room, and set itin front of the fire. On this table heplaced the mechanism. Then he drewup a chair and sat down. The onlyother object on the table was a smalllamp. There were also perhaps adozen candles about, so that theroom was brilliantly illuminated. I satin a low armchair nearest the fire,and I drew this forward so as to bealmost between the Time Travellerand the fireplace. Filby sat behindhim, looking over his shoulder. TheMedical Man and the ProvincialMayor watched him in profile fromthe right, the Psychologist from theleft. The Very Young Man stoodbehind the Psychologist. We were allon the alert. It appears incredible tome that any klnd of trick could havebeen played upon us under theseconditions.

The Time Traveller looked at us,and then at the mechanism. "Well?',said the Psychologist.

"This little affair," said the TimeTraveller, resting his elbows upon thetable and pressing his hands togetherabove the apparatus, "is only amodel. It is my plan for a machineto travel through time. You willnotice that it looks quite uneven, andthat there is an odd twinklingappearance about this bar, as thoughit was in some way unreal." Hepointed to the part with his finger."Also, here is one little white lever,and here is another."

The Medical Man got up out ofhis chair and looked into the thing."It's beautifully made," he said.

"It took two years to make," saidthe Time Traveller. Then, when wehad all imitated the action of theMedical Man, he said: "Now, f wantyou clearly to understand that thislever, being pressed over, sends themachine into the future, and thisother reverses the motion. Thissaddle represents the seat of a timetraveller. Presently I am going topress the lever, and off the machinewill go. It will vanish, pass intofuture Time, and disappear. Have agood look at the thing. Look at thetable too, and satisfy yourselves thereis no trickery. I don't want to wastethis model, and then be told I,m aquack."

There was a minute's pause,perhaps. The Psychologist seemedabout to speak to me, but changedhis mind. Then the Time Travellerput forth his finger towards the lever."No," he said suddenly. "Lend meyour hand." And turning to thePsychologist, he took that individual,shand in his own and told him to putout his forefinger, so that it was thePsychologist himself who sent forththe model Time Machine on itsvoyage. We all saw the lever turn. Iam absolutely certain there was notrickery. There was a breath of wind,and the lamp flame jumped. One ofthe candles on the mantel was blownout, and the little machine suddenlyswung round, became indistinct, wasseen as a ghost for a second perhaps;and it was gone - vanished! Savefor the lamp, the table was bare.

Suggested Answer Key

Computers in everY clossroom

Some people believe that schools should providecomputers for students to use for all of their school subiectsdisagree with this opinron. I believe that having computers trevery classroom is unnecessary and excessive for a number a:reasonS.

Firstly, computers and computer labs are very expensive tcset up and maintain. For example, computers requtretechnicians who have to be paid and it is also expensive to keel-up to date with software.

Furthermore, sitting in front of a computer screen all da';can make students feel lonely and bored. They will lose thei'communication skills through lack of practice and malwithd raw i nto them selves.

On the other hand, schools should use computers in theclassroom as students will need computer skills when they arelooking for a job.

ln conclusion, I believe that computers are necessary rrtechnical subjects such as lnformation Technology ancComputer Studies but not in other subiects. Provided thotstudents have open access to a computer at school then it isunnecessary to provide computers for use in all school subiects

correct answer A, B, C or D.

THE HISTORY OF ROCKETRY:- } ' FROM FIREWORKS TO THE MOON

At first glance you might think that there couldn't possibly

be anything in common between a 13th century festival in

China and the Apollo L1 moon landing in 1969' However

there isa l inkandthat is that theybothre l iedontheuse

ofrockets. 5

The Chinese first developed rockets by filling bamboo

tubes with an explosive made from saltpetre, charcoal'

andsulphur.Thesealedtubeswouldbethrownontofires

F Ouring celebrations because it was thought that the loud

explosions would protect them. when these tubes were not l0

realised the military potential of these devices and primitive rockets were used to repel a Mongol

invasion in1Z3ZAD. word of these amazing new weapons quickly spread around the world and

soon rockets were being used in military operations in North Africa and Europe' During the 15th 15

and 16th centuries they were widely used in naval battles to set fire to enemy ships' fuound this

time they also started being used for more peaceful purposes again' In 16th and 17th century

Europe firework displays using rockets became a very popular form of public entertainment'

In the late 18th century the British army suffered two serious defeats at battles in Seringapatam'

in India. The main reason for these defeats was that the Indian prince, Haidar Ali's army included 2n

a corps of rocket throwers. They used very large bamboo rockets which had a range of hundreds of

metres. The British were determined to learn from their mistakes and a British officer' william

Congrieve, began work on developing even bigger and better rockets' Within a few years Congrieve

had deveroped 14 kg iron rockets that courd be fired over 3200m. These rockets were successfully

used against Napoleon at the battle of Waterloo and during the US War of Independence' 25

By the 1880s other applications for rockets were being developed' They were used for

signalling, for whaling, and even for rescuing people from sinking ships' If a boat got into

trouble near to the shore, a rocket with a thin rope tied to it would be fired out over the boat'

survivors in lifeboats could use the ropes to pull themselves ashore. These traditional rockets

are still used as distress signals onboats and planes' 30

However in the 1920s and 30s a great leap forward in the use of rockets took place with the

introduction of liquid fuel. This made rockets much more powerful' The new rockets were so

impressive that for the first time people began to seriously think about using rockets to take

people into sPace.

It didn,t take long for these dreams to become a reality. In the 1950s the Soviet union and 35

the USA invested large amounts of money in their new space programmes' This lead to the

launch of Sputnik L, the first artificial satellite, by the USSR in 1957' lrss than a month later

they followed this with Sputnik 2 which carried a dog, Laika, into orbit' The usA sent its first

satellite, Explorer L, into space early the next year' The next step' putting a man in space

followed in 196r when yuri Gagarin orbited the Earth in vostok 1. Eight years later Neil 40

Armstrong took those famous first steps on the lunar surface' This was possibly mankind's

greatest scientific achievement and it was all due to rockets whose basic design had been

thought up hundreds ofyears before'

lnterviewer: Now, welcome to'you and your Health' Today on our snow wehave the famous cardiologist Dr shaw. He is here to give us some advice abouthow to keep our hearts in good condition Thanks for taking the time ro comeon our show, Dr shaw A lot of our l isteners have written in with questrons andconcerns regarding their heal th and the heal th of their loved ones. Fi rst of a l l ,maybe you could explain to us why the numbers of people suffering from heartattacks seem to be on the increase these days?Drshow:\Nell, lthink the answer to that is, unfortunately, our modern lifestvleInterviewer:Could you be a litt le more specific please, doctor?Drshaw:Yes, of course. what lmean is that we l ive in a fast paced, demandingworld today. we all seem to be in a terrible hurry under a lot of stress with lessand less t ime to re lax and take care of our heal th. For example, how many t imeshave you been too busy to eat a proper meal and so end up eating someunhealthy take out food full of salt, fat, preservatives and colourings? Mostpeople underestimate the importance of a healthy diet. we all know that weshould eat more fresh fruit, and vegetables, but when we are busy we tend toforget and go for something quick, convenient and fi l l ing which is often qurteunheal thylnterviewer: so, what you're tell ing us is that if we all make an effon to eathealthier food we are less likely to suffer from heart problemsDrshow: of course a healthier diet is going to help, however, diet alone is notenough to guarantee a heal thy heart . Exercise is a lso important we should al lmake sure we get a regular moderate amount of dailv exerciselnterviewer:You mean we should all join a gym or buy exercise machrnes?Dr Shaw: only if you have the time and the money. lf not just spend thirtymrnutes a day doing a physical act iv i ty such as walk ing, cycl ing, gardenrng oreven dancing. You wi l l be help ing your heart as wel l as strengthening yourmuscles and increasing your rung capacrty. Whrch br ings me to anotherimportant l i festy le change that is qui te hard for a lot of people to make andthat of course rs to try and cut down on caffeine and nicotine. ln fact, if I had todescribe a potential heart attack victim it would be a man in his 50,s wrtn astressful job and a family to support, who drinks a lot of coffee, smokescgarettes, doesn't eat proper balanced meals and gets very litt le physicalexerciselnterviewer: Well, thanks, Dr shaw, you have certainly given us a lot to thinkabout we are now going to open up the phone l ines and al low our l rs tenersthe chance to ask therr quest ions

Young People's eating habitsMost young people today, unfortunately, have very unhealthy eating habits.studies have shown that teenagers today eat more processed foods than everbefore when eating out they choose fast food restaurants for the obviousreasons. They are cheap, noisy and usual ly f i l led wi th people their own age.However, fast food rbstaurants are not their only source of unhealthy food. Themodern day fami ly usual ly has both parents working outs ide the home and th ismeans parents don't often have the time to prepare healthy nutrit ious meals fortheir family supermarkets today are fi l led with prepackaged, instant foods Forexample, you can get mashed potatoes in a packet (just add water), t inneo orpackaged soups, as well as a large variety of frozen ready made dishes such aslasagna, meat pies, and many others Therefore, even home cooked mearsmight not be that nutr i t ious

In For a the country. It became so complicated, that in 928, King

passed a law stating that there was to be only one single

money or currency in England, and there has been just one

since. This occurred many centuries before other major

countries such as France, Germany and Italy had their

national currency.

The pound was introduced into England by the NormarEngland has enjoyed a relatively stable single national currency

with an unbroken history of over 900 years. The origins of the

pound sterling date even further back. In fact, the pound as a unit

of currency has never had to be replaced by a new currency, in

contrast to many European currencies. The pound has also been

preferred and widely accepted in international trade for two

hundred years. As a result, other countries had to adapt their

currency arrangements to fit in with sterling.

Economic activity in the very earliest civilizations had to do with

trading or "bartering". Services were traded to meet individual

needs. For example, a master would reward his servant with food

and shelter. Goods of equal value were also exchanged. People

then began to use items that had the same value to everyone. In the

earliest civilizations cattle, grain, salt, leaves, and seeds were traded

to buy necessities. England has returned to barter several times

over the course of its history.

The Ancient Britons used sword blades as currency before they

started minting coins. The designs of the earliest coins, dating back

to 125 BC, were imitations of Macedonia's pure gold coins. As their

experience of minting grew the designs became more original. The

coins started to reflect their lifestyle and interests. The horse was a

common feature as they were a rural people. Their love of hunting

and farming can be seen in the designs of boars and ears of wheat.

Coins continued to be used in Britain while it was part of the

Roman Empire. The Romans did, however, impose their own

coinage on Britain. Small brass and copper "minissimi" coins were

used for low value purchases. When the Roman Empire collapsed

in the 5th century and Britain was invaded by the Anglo-Saxons,

minting and the use of coins ceased in England for over 200 years.

The island went back to bartering and using other, more primitive,

standards ofvalue.

You expect excitement at a football match, so when| first arrived at the stadium everything seemed tonormal and under control. The fans beside to mewere wearing in their team's colours and chantingfootball anthems. The atmosphere was a bit tense, butthat was because of the two teams playing werebeing great rivals. As the match went on, though, thecrowd became the more and more bad tempered.The trouble really started when the referee made adecision that many of us disagreed with it. BeforeI knew what was happening, supporters from theopposing teams had been run onto the pitch and wereattacking each the other. All around me people startedpanicking and pushing at frantically to escape. I feltlike I was going to get crushed up, and I could hearsome of people screaming and crying. lt was asuch terrifuing experience that lwill never forget.

WimbledonWimbledon is the most

famous tennis championshiP in

the world, and over the Years i t has

become a Br i t ish inst i tut ion. Held every

summer at the Al l -England Lawn Tennis

and Croquet Club, the compet i t ion lasts for

two weexs.Wimbledon was f i rst held in 1877. In those

days, i t was an amateur event which only

men could enter. TodaY, both men and

women, professionals or amateurs can take

part in the championship, which is fo l lowed

rn the med ia bY mi l l ions o f PeoPle 'Tennis players come from al l over the

world to compete, hoping to win a t rophy

and a substant ia l amount of money. The

pr ize for wrnning the Gent lemen's Singles

Championship is a large sr lver gi l t cup'

The winner of the Ladies' Singles gets

a silver salver called the 'Rosewater

Dish' . There are also compet i t ions in

both men's and ladies' doubles. The

prizes are traditionally presented by

the Duchess of Kent.

What makes Wimbledon special is the

while boxing.lMaybe the reason so many peopre pick out sports rike boxing and wrestlingbeing particularly violent is that the athretes are deriberatery trying to injurer opponents. Apart from anything erse, do boxers make good rore modersyoung sports fans?roylo.r:That's certainly a good argument, and we shourd remember that ifrcrs behaved like that outside the ring they wourd be arrested. However,

tn ice hockey and rugby, players are encouraged to be as physical asrle' we have to decide whether viorent sports encourage fans to behavere violently. Personaily I don't think that viorence in societ/can be exprainederily.t5,o you wouldn't be in favour of banning violent sports?roylor: No, I think that competitive sports can be a positive infruence ong people as long as they are encouraged to behave in an acceptable

viorence, and we need to makeJng way. ut course we shouldn't encourage violence, and we need to makethat all sports are as safe as possibre. ThL is especiaily important with thease in popularity of extreme sports in recent years. However, whateverwe're talking about, as long as the competiiors understand the risksd then it should be their decision.

A few years ago, nobody could have imagined buyinga whole dictionary or encyclopaedia on CD-Rom - but wedo now, and it's a booming business. Are e-books setto take over from the printed word? Well, somemultimedia companies are predicting that, in a few years'time, production of newspapers and magazines will havebeen halved, as we will be turning to our computers toget thelnews. But how do people feel about readingtheir daily newspaper, or even their favourite novels, ontheir computer screens? l0 I E I

It is certainly a question that we are going to have tooon. Technology produces new products

every day and the publishlng industry is alreadyshowing great interest in the future of the e-book.

As for e-books, despite the fact that the technologyhas not been fully developed yet, and an e-book that youcan carry about with you is still much more expensivethan anlbook, researchers claim that soon e-books will become much cheaper than paper Iand will be much more popular.

The EarthquakeI had found a cave to l ive in and had spent three or four

months bu i ld ing a wal l around i ts ent rance. l t meant that I

had to enter my home by using a ladder, but at least I

would be safe from the wild animals and any other

5 creatures which may l ive on the island.

When I had f ina l ly f in ished bu i ld ing, I p i tched my tent

in the space between the cave mouth and the wall and felt

very comfortable and content. However, this feel ing did

not last long.The very next day, when I was busy in my new

;g home, jus t ins ide the ent rance to the cave, I saw some

earth falling from the roof of my cave, and I heard two of

the support ing posts, which I had put UP, make a

fr ightening, cracking noise. I was afraid that the roof of the

cave was about to fal l in and bury me al ive, so I ran to

l5 my ladder and cl imbed over the wall to get clear of any

fa l l ing rocks which might ro l l down the h i l l .

The moment I stepped down onto the ground, I real ised

that a terr ible earthquake was taking place. The ground I

was standing on shook three t imes, with a pause of about

20 eight minutes between each tremor. The shaking was so

strong that it would have brought down the strongest

bui lding in the world. Huge waves were crashing on the

shore and making a terr ible noise as the earthqual<e shook

the water. I think that the shocks must have been stronger

fg under the water than they were on land.

The experience frightened me so much that I was

stunned,and could do nothing but stare around me. I fel t sick

from the shaking of the earth, as if I was in a boat on a rough

sea.Then, suddenly, I heard a crash as rocks fell from the hill,

30 and I was filled with fear. I was worried that my months of

work would tqve"been destroyed in a few minutes and that

my few belongings would be destroyed.This thought made

me so sad that I felt my heart sink in my chest.

I sat on the ground unti l I was sure that the earthquake

35 had s topped.When there was no shak ing for some t ime.

and i t seemed that my wall had not been damaged by the

earthquake, I began to feel my courage returning

However, I was still afraid to go back into my cave in case

the roof col lapsed on top of me. I did not know what tc

40 do.

45

afraid to move.

Suddenly, I real ised that this stranse weather must be a

50 result of the earthquake and therefore, i t must mean that

the earthquake was over. lf I was right, then it was safe tc

return to my cave. I fel t happier at this thought, and weni

and sat in my tent, where I could shelter from the rarn

However, my tent was being beaten so hard by the storrr

55 that I was forced to go into my cave, although I was stii

nervous and unsure about the safety of the roof.

After some t ime, I began to feel calmer.There had beer

no more shak ing, but I had made a new p lan. l f

earthquakes happened often on this island, then I would

50 have to bui ld a new home.A cave was not a safe place to

l ive.This t ime, I would make a hut, surrounded by a wal

and I would l ive there without fear.

A thunderstorm is one of the most impressive s ights rn

br igh t f lashes o f l igh tn ing and booming thunder as we l l as

torrent ia l ra in or hai l But what causes these dramat ic storms

and what exac t ly a re thunder and l igh tn ing?

Clouds are formed when a mass of cold air meets a mass

of warm air . l0Tl Water vapour in the warm air condenses

to form clouds. Thunder c louds are typical ly very ta l l , dark

and deep. Thunder and l ightning are both caused when

electr ical charges bui ld up in these clouds. re However

they bel ieve that i t has something to do with charged water

droplets and t iny pieces of ice col l id ing inside the c loud.

Normal ly a posi t ively charged area forms in the upper region

of the c loud and a negat ively charged region forms in the

lower region of the c loud.

These charges are incredibly large and so thunderstorms

contain an enormous amount of energy. A vol taqe of more

than 100 mi l l ion vol ts can be generated between the cloud

and the ground ETl ln i r wi l l not normal ly conduct electr ic i ty

lntroductionThe purpose of this report is to assess the coilege cafeteriaand to suggest changes to make i t more popular wi th thestudents.

Food and PricesThe college cafeteria offers inexpensive food which is suitablefor students on a tight budget. The food is weil-cooked, too.Nevertheless, there is not a very wide range of food and themenu is qui te bor ing.

AtmosphereAlthough the cafeter ia is br ight and cheerfur, the tables arelong and the chairs are verv uncomfortable.

Opening HoursDuring the week, the cafeteria opens from gam to 6pm.However, more and more students have lessons at night andthey study in the l ibrary at n ight and at weekends, but thecafeteria is closed at these times.

ConclusionIn conclusion, the college cafeteria is an inexpensive studentcafeteria with a pleasant atmosphere. However, I believe itwould become more popular with students if the menu wasexpanded and new furniture was bought. What is more,extending the opening hours f rom Bam to 9pm and openingon saturdays and sundays would also attract more students.

Chestet who was always lying about an,d that added to the

Speaker 2

Our house was big and very neat. There was always a lot of

space in the rooms, and the whole place had a l ight and airy

feel . There was l i t t le furni ture and what we had was al l whi te.

Our house was never cluttered and there was never any mess.

I must admit i t d id feel a bi t bare at t imes, though. I used to

wish my house was a bit more l ike other people's - you know,

more l ived in.

Speaker 3

Well, we had two houses. In the city, we lived in a flat.

Nothing fancy really, just a typical two-bedroomed place. But

our country house was fantastic. lt was a cosy l itt le cottage

made of o ld red br icks and had an enormous garden. There

was a f i replace in i t and lots of comfortable, o ld furni ture. We

lnterviewer:Welcome to today's programme. Today, we have

as our guest Mr Dan Singer, who began the'Act Now' group.

Hel lo Dan. You have of ten been cal led an 'eco-warr ior ' . What

do you think of that?

Guest:Wel l I don' t mind being cal led an eco-warr ior , but some

people might th ink that the warr ior b i t means being

aggressive or even violent, and l 'm not at a l l l ike that . Nor is

any member of the 'Act Now' group.

Interviewer: Some people think that the time you ripped up

pavements was qui te aggressive, though. What was that al l

about?

Guest: What we did was, dig up a street and plant f lowers

there. We did it to prove a point - that we're not going to

put up with l iv ing in a concrete jungle wi th no trees or

f lowers. Humans are only part of the greater system of th ings.

I t 's about t ime people stopped being sel f ish and real ised that

it 's not just about now, I mean, the present. lt 's also about

the future. What wil l our children have left to enjoy if we take

away nature's beauty?lnterviewer:So, the term 'eco-warrior' comes from these views

and act ions.

Guest: I suppose people give it different meanings, but from

my point of view, you can call me an 'eco-warrior' i f i t means

someone who loves and respects nature and the

environment. The 'warr ior ' b i t is about f ight ing to protect i t .

lnterviewer: One of your main concerns is obviously the

environment, but what exactly does 'Act Now' do?

Guest: OK. Let's take it from the start. We want to balance the

relat ionship between people and their natural environment.

At 'Act Now'we bel ieve in working together as a community.

We provide people with information and try to educate them

about environmental issues l ike endangered species and the

use of toxic ferti l izers and pesticides. As our name suggests,

we then show people that they can join us and oct now lo

prevent the destruction of our planet.

lnterviewer: So, how do you protect the environment? | mean,

what are some of your projects?

Guest:We organise protests against whatever we consider to

be harmful to the environment. For example, Newton Counci l

has decided to begin work on a new highway in the area. So,

we're making protest s igns and we're holding a march

outside the Town Hall tomorrow.

lnterviewer: Do you have much public support during your

orotests?Guest: Oh yes. We make brochures and flyers that we give

out, and we f ind that most people are cur ious and fr iendly.

Many also attend the protests.

lnterviewer:Yes, last week I watched you being interviewed on

the news, when you were protest ing against k i l l ing animals

Peter.Peter: Thanks for invit ing me.lnterviewer.' Now, Peter, perhaps you could explain to usexactly what you mean when you say that famous peoplehave problems. l t is certainly hard for us ordinary people toimagine that famous people have any ser ious problems whenmost of them have enough money to l ive a very comfortablel i fe. They also have lots of people taking care of them, l iketheir agents, record companies and so on.Peter: Well, i t might seem like that to the rest of us but whenyou consider the pressure there is on a famous person toalways look good and be pol i te and fr iendly you can begin toget an idea of how being famous can sometimes cause acelebr i ty ser ious problems.

lnteruiewer: Ummm... well... I mean, it must be great to be able

to walk into a shop or restaurant, be instantly recognized and

get the best service. I don't think I would have a problem with

people stopping me on the street and asking for my autographl

Peter: Yes, but unfortunately it doesn't stop there! lmagine

you want to go jogging in the park, meet some fr iends at a

caf6, or even just go shopping with your fami ly on a Saturday

afternoon. Your hair , make up and clothes must always look

perfect, because you never know when you wil l be

photographed. Not to ment ion the fact that people

constant ly come up to you, ask for your autograph and want

to te l l you how they feel about you and your work!

lnterviewer: Well, that sti l l doesn't sound so terrible to me!

Peter: Ok, how would you like to have a security system installed

to prevent over-enthusiastic fans from breaking into your house,

steal ing your laundry of f the washing l ine or taking souvenirs

from your rubbish bin?

lnterviewer: You've qot a point. ldon't think l 'd l ike that very

much !

Peter: Then, of course, there's the paparazzi, the photographers

who secretly followyou around, hoping to get a picture of you

doing something embarrassing like taking out the rubbrsh wlth

curlers in your hair. Your family and frrends wi// also find tltey

have very little privaq. The childen of famous people have a

particulady hard time because their classmates and even

teachers wil l sometimes pretend to be their friend just to get

closer to their parents.

lnterviewer: That's awful! But there must be some advantages

to being famous. For example, having al l that money would be

can certainly afford to l ive a comfortable l ifestyle but the
