Let me start by telling you a bit about myself and my family. My
name’s Ivo and I live in Kutna Hora, which is about 45 minutes
from Prague by car. I used to work for a medical company but
now I’m learning to be a salesperson. In the future I want a job
where I can travel for my work. I’ve already been to a few placesin Europe but I’ve never been to an English-speaking country.
I live at home with my parents, which is convenient, as I don’t
have to do much housework and my meals are cooked for me.

Sample answer:
Most countries spend large sums of money protecting theirnational heritage. However, there is strong argument that weshould look forwards not backwards, spending less money onpreserving the past and more on securing our future.
On the one hand, it is important that we remember our heritage.
Once it is lost, it is lost forever. Caring for important monuments
helps with this. It also attracts tourists, which has an economic
benefit for everyone.
On the other hand, governments spend a lot of money on
museums and keeping historic sites in good condition when poor
people need houses to live in and businesses need better roads
for transporting their goods.
Another argument is that by making heritage sites attractive fortourists – for example, by putting on entertainment – we give avery untrue picture of the past and sometimes damage the local
environment.
To conclude, while there are strong arguments for not spending
too much on preserving the past, I believe it is important toprotect the most famous sites for future generations but it is
not realistic to try and save everything. We need to invest in the
future too.

Before I went, I thought it was a flat country but I soon realisedthat it’s quite hilly in places.
When I saw how high the steps were my heart sank.
After a while I started to enjoy the open countryside.
It was the most amazing experience I have ever had.

Sample answer:
A charity event to remember
So why did I decide to do a 90-km walk in six days along the Great
Wall of China? Well, the reason was that our local children’s
hospital needed to raise money or it would close. However, I
didn’t realise how big a challenge it would be.
Before I went, I thought that I would be walking along a flat
surface but when I saw the Great Wall, my heart sank. Part of
the time we would be trekking up hundreds of high steps and,worryingly, some of the paths had steep falls on either sideand there was nowhere to go because we were surrounded by
mountains and forests. However, after a while, I started to lovethe experience. I was in one of the most amazing places on earth
and the views were incredible.
In the end, the adventure was a great success. The hospital
was delighted because a group of us managed to raise several
thousand pounds.
Would I be keen to help the hospital again next year? Yes, but I
think I’ll try and find an easier challenge next time!

Sample answer:
Although young people love gadgets and technology, some see
science as uninteresting and ‘uncool’. Over time, the number ofyoung people, particularly girls, pursuing science and technology
studies and careers has dropped.
One way in which science could be made more attractive would
be to have lively television programmes presented by celebrities,
with subjects which were relevant to the experience of theyoung. We live in a celebrity culture and children identify withwell-known young people.
Another idea would be to set up interactive science museums inevery town, where parents could take their children. It’s muchbetter to teach children the principles of science through handson experiments than to lecture them in a classroom.
Of course, there would be more incentives if the averagescientist were better paid and young people were made awareof the range of jobs available. A lot of people are put off ascientific career because they think it means working in a badly
paid job in a boring laboratory.
Whichever way we choose, it is vital that more young people are
attracted into science, since society’s prosperity depends largely
on continuous scientific progress.

as dull. (paragraph 1)

Example sentences:
1 The reason is that society’s prosperity depends on continued
scientific progress.
2 They think it means working in a badly paid job in a boring
laboratory.
3 This worrying attitude has led to fewer young people pursuing ascientific career.
4 It’s much better to teach children science by getting them to dohands-on experiments which they enjoy.
5 This is because we live in a celebrity culture and children identify
with well-known actors and singers.

Sample answer:
A gig to remember
Without doubt, the British rock band Arctic Monkeys have given
this year’s best live show. As teenagers a few years ago, they madethe fastest-selling album ever but seemed shy and awkward onstage. Now they have matured and become an amazing live act.
Since the frontman Alex decided to cut his hair and dress like askinny rock star of the 1950s, he moves confidently around thestage, waving his arms and encouraging us to shake our hips. The
crowd were ecstatic!
The set began with their hit, Do you wanna know. The guitar playing
was tight, as always, and the rhythm supported by Matt’s powerful
drumming. The band were on top form throughout, winning fansover with a list that combined older with new hits.
My only reservation is that although the songs have clever lyrics
and great melodies and sound fresh every time, some lack theemotional and poetic force of their best.
But this is a minor criticism. Overall, it was a performance toremember and all fans should try and catch them while they’reon tour.

Local eating places
The main purpose of this report is to give an overview of thetown’s eating facilities. As part of the survey, both tourists andlocal residents were asked their views.

PHOTOCOPIABLE © 2014 Pearson Education Ltd

Answer Key
Cafés, pubs and restaurants
There are a number of good quality restaurants in the area,
which cater for most tastes: pizza houses, sushi bars, exclusive
French restaurants and gastro pubs. We are also fortunate tohave several cafés and sandwich bars, which are very popular in
the mornings with young mothers and children and with office
workers at lunchtime. Recent trends/Dissatisfaction
It was reported that in recent years most of the fast foodrestaurants had extended their hours, with most open until
midnight. It was also stated that prices had gone up dramaticallyin some of the better restaurants and, as a consequence,people are going out less than they used to or eating at cheaperrestaurants.
Room for improvement/Recommendation
The main area of concern among a number of peopleinterviewed was the lack of vegetarian meals available in many of
the restaurants and it is recommended that restaurants are madeaware of this view.

also say why they think the people are dressed in that way, as theinterlocutor asked.
The second candidate describes some aspects of the pictures but
doesn’t really describe them, and doesn’t say why they might bewearing those clothes, so doesn’t give a complete answer to the task.

Sample answer:
Nowadays more people are deciding to live by themselves.
Some people claim this is more enjoyable and in young people itdevelops a sense of responsibility, whereas others disagree.
The main advantage of living alone is that there is nobody to tell
you what to do, so you can live your life in your own way. Whatis more, you can organise or decorate your house as you want.
There is no one else to disagree with.
On the other hand, it can be quite lonely for some people. Bynature, we are social animals. Secondly, it is more expensive
because you have to pay all the rent and bills yourself, so you haveless money to enjoy yourself. Last but not least, it can be quite
hard to find a nice flat for one person, so you might not be able tolive in the best area.
To sum up, there are strong arguments on both sides. In
conclusion, I believe that living alone is better for older people
who have more money and like privacy but not for young people
who need to share the costs.

Sample answer:
Don’t throw it all away!
Have you ever dreamt of becoming rich unexpectedly? Just
imagine what your life would be like! However, some people who
get rich quickly are very careless with their money and end up
being poorer than they were before.
That’s why I’d be very careful. I wouldn’t want a completely
different kind of life, so I’d start by putting some of it away, in caseeverything went wrong – set up a kind of ‘emergency fund’. Then I
would buy my hard-working parents a new home. They deserve it
because they have always provided me with everything I’ve always
wanted, even if it meant they had to go without. I would also givesome money away to needy people who are struggling in the worldand have no food. It would not be right to just spend the moneyon myself. Then I think I would take a year off from studying andtravel round the world in great comfort. I’ve spent most of my life
travelling on a limited budget and sleeping in hostels.
After that, who knows? I’ll see, but I certainly won’t be buying any
luxury cars!

The town has changed a lot in the last 30 years. All the oldfactories have been pulled down and replaced with hi-tech scienceparks. It’s felt to be unfortunate that one of the older schools was
also demolished, as children will have to be sent by bus to thenext town. It is said that a brand new school will be built in the
town in the next few years when extra funding is provided by theGovernment. That will be appreciated by the newer residents inparticular.

Sample answer:
Dear Ms White,
First, let me apologise for any disappointment your son
experienced on our ski trip. It is true that there were several
concerns. Since we had been led to believe by the company
that there would be sufficient slopes for both beginners andadvanced skiers, we were extremely upset when this turned out
not to be the case. It was also unfortunate that lack of snow
meant that artificial snow had to be used instead.
As for the question of lessons, if you look at the letter wesent out, you will see that only five one-hour ski-lessons were
included in the price and that extra hours would have to be paid
for separately.
In relation to accommodation, I am not quite sure what you arereferring to. I know that in one room there were not enoughbeds but this was not the case in your son’s room.

Sample answer:
Some people claim they are naturally cheerful. However, in myview, how we lead our lives is the main reason we are either
happy or unhappy.
Take money, for example. Money doesn’t automatically make us
happy. In fact, it makes some people very unhappy because they
are frightened of losing what they’ve got. On the other hand, if

PHOTOCOPIABLE © 2014 Pearson Education Ltd

Answer Key
we’re not greedy and don’t spend it foolishly, it can reduce stressand give us security.
Then consider health. If we eat badly, get too little sleep and don’t
exercise, our health will decline and make us miserable. Eating welland going for lovely long walks in the countryside can make us feelbetter generally.
The third thing I think is important is to have a positive outlook
on life. We should all enjoy things like music and being with ourfriends. At the same time, it’s important to spend time alone andlive as simply as possible, which is not easy in the 21st century!
All of these make a big difference to our happiness, no matter
what our natural temperament.

Sample answer:
Animal Farm, by George OrwellThis is an unusual book, set on a farm. The characters, led by thepigs, are mainly animals, who get rid of the cruel, drunken humanowner and take over the farm. They set up a government of theirown.
The story isn’t exciting but it’s clever. At first, after the revolution,
the animals are equal but later the pigs become more powerfuland start to change everything. By the end of the novel, theanimals realise they have gone back to where
they started.
In one way, the story is obviously not a true story but in anotherway, it is meant to tell the story of communism from a satiricalpoint of view.
The characters are very convincing. Napoleon, the leader of thepigs, is strong and corrupt. Other animals are honest but weak.
They all represent people and events in Russia in the 1920s and 30s.
Although I enjoyed this book, I can imagine older people who
were brought up when communism was still strong in the worldand have probably read a lot about the Russian Revolution,
would enjoy it even more.
