Part 3
Questions 11–15
For each question, choose the correct answer.

My name’s Martin Cabello and I’m a young photographer. Taking photographs wasalways my favourite activity as a child. And when I was 15, I felt that if I wanted totake my hobby to the next level, I had to do something special. So I decided to starta personal project: I would take one photograph every day for a whole year of mylife. I knew that many other young photographers before me had done the samething, but it seemed like a really great idea, and so I started.
After a few weeks, I decided to put these photos onto a website for young
photographers because I was keen to create a photo diary, and also to have thechance to show other people my photos. I was amazed to discover that there
were others who liked the way I saw and photographed things. I was also enjoying
photographing a wide range of subjects. Then someone suggested that if myphotographs all had a common topic or idea to connect them, my project would beeven better – and I agreed.
So I began to concentrate more on taking photos of nature scenes, especially ofbirds and the sky. A lot of them were black and white photographs, which was very
different to what many other young photographers were doing – they were all taking
colour photos. As a result, I sometimes had doubts about my project, and I almost
gave up several times. In the end, however, I trusted my own feelings, and became
more confident about my photographic style and choices.
One day I showed my project to my art teacher at school. She told me about anational photography competition for people my age. So I entered some of myphotos, just for fun. I’ll never forget the moment when the judges told me that I had
won first prize; I was so happy, as my project meant so much to me. It was the firsttime I realised that maybe my photography really was good, and that I might actually
be able to work as a professional photographer. I now have my own photography
studio and I’ve never regretted my career choice.

Questions 16–20Five sentences have been removed from the text below.
For each question, choose the correct answer.
There are three extra sentences which you do not need to use.

Ballet for children and teenagers
It can take a long time to reach a professional level in ballet, so most dancers begin theirtraining very young. It is essential that very young dancers learn the ballet movements
properly right from the beginning. 16

This is because it is usually moredifficult to change old habits than to learn new ones.
The first thing that young children who are interested in learning to dance often do is
attend creative movement classes, where they can practise basic skills like jumping andturning, and just have fun. 17

In addition, some people recommend that theyshould learn either to sing or play an instrument.
Young people who decide they want to have a ballet career can attend a dance school.
Here, students not only study normal school subjects but also do daily dance training.
18

And the whole dance-school environment is set up to support the young

people’s artistic development; it allows them to focus on their dance more easily, andprepares them for their future. But how can a young dancer and their parents tell which
dance school is the most suitable? 19

The older students taking part in it

should clearly have more highly-developed ballet skills than the younger dancers.
By the time they are 16 or 17, many ballet dancers are entering ballet competitions andtaking classes at professional studios. 20

It is important for young dancers

to know how well they are doing, because the dance world is very competitive and thetraining hard; not everyone makes it to the top.
