Read the following conversation and answer the question. W: We all know that poetry is not everyone's cup of tea. But according to Dr James Stewart. M: Hello! W: Hello! If you are suffering from anxiety or depression, poetry may be the solution to your problems. Dr Stewart, how does poetry help? M: Em, OK! Look, let me give you an example.

He talked to me about it, and, well, I was convinced that medication just wouldn't help him. Then I read him a poem called Leisure by WHDavis. Do you know the one? It begins, er... W: I do, yes. M: What is this life, er, so full of. It is so or if... W: I think it's if. M: If full of care, that's it, yes. We have no time to stand and stare. Well, you know the one. The next time he came to see me, he told me that, well, it was a sort of turning point for him. The poem made him think about the quality of his life and the need to find a balance between his work and his social life. Er, you see, because the idea was expressed poetically, he felt that he could identify with it, and actually feel the message in a way that he wouldn't if he simply discussed it with me. And we just had the usual kind of conversation about it. W: Yes, I see. M: You see, reading poetry to patients seems to make them calmer. Encouraging them to write it has an even more dramatic effect, actually. Era, there.., there are something about the process of expressing confused thoughts and feelings and emotions in writing that actually helps people or suffering from stress and anxiety. This happens especially if the words are written in a poetical way with a sense of rhythm rather than in prose, you see. Er, now, for a long time, we've been asking patients to write diaries to put their feelings into words. But it turns out that writing poetry seems to work much better for many patients. W: Right, and have you found that other doctors and therapists have made the same... Question: Who did Dr Stewart read a poem to? - An actor. - A business person. - Mr Davies.

Read the following conversation and answer the question. W: Why weren't you at the German class last night, Tom? Have you given up? M: Well, no...I came back late yesterday and found John sleeping in the chair. He'd been writing a report all day long and he was too tired to go out again, so we gave the lesson a miss. W: You've missed quite a lot of lessons lately, haven't you? Are you losing interest? M: Yes, I'm afraid so. Neither John nor I have a gift for language. People just laugh at us when we attempt to speak German. How did you and Jane pick it up so quickly and easily? You've hardly been in Germany a month. W: It was neither quick nor easy. We'd both studied the language before we came, and we only needed to revise it. M: Anyway, all our friends here speak English very well, so we don't really need to learn German. Question: Why didn't the man come to the class last night? - He came back late and his friend was tired. - He had given it up. - He had been writing reports all day long.
