funniest when spectators suddenly
become aware that she is a woman
and become tongue-tied. 'A voice
in the crowd will shout, "Oi,
Erm, I mean assistant referee!"'
While it is unlikely that a woman
footballer will have the physical
strength to compete at the top level
in a men's team, there is no similar
obstacle to women refereeing
men's football. ln fact, the
authorities running European
football are actively encouraging
women referees, believing it helps
increase women's interest in
football generally.
ln Brazil, Gisele Fabio says the path
to becoming a referee has been
about breaking down cultural
rather than legal barriers. 'For as
long as l'm aware there have been
no rules against women refereeing
the men's game. lt was just that
none did.' Fabio agrees that
footballers treat female referees
differently. 'ln principle they treat
you with more respect. They are
scared that you will give them a
card more readily. This is an
advantage for us.' Most
impressively, Fabio has been top of
the referee rankings published by
daily sports papers. 'l think I was
first because I am a novelty. But
I don't think I am better than the
others. My refereeing is the same.'

C Older customers in particular may find the experience cold and impersonal,

E For security reasons, you have to do this before the robot arm starts

F Many shops like these only survive because they stay open late, or even

given two different photographs in turn to talk about. After your partner has
finished speaking, you will be asked a brief question connected with your partner's
photographs.

Turn to pictures 1 and 2 on page 150 which show different forms of transport.

Candidate A, compare and contrast these photographs, and say why you think
people use these different means of transport. You have a minute to do this'
Candidate B, which of these methods of transport do you think is most useful?

Turn to pictures 1and2 on page 151 which show different sorts of fashionable
clothes.

Candidate A, compare and contrast these photographs, and say why you think the

Candidate B, which of these would you feel most comfortable wearing?

Part 3 (3 m¡nutes)

Youwill be asked to discuss something together without interruption by the

examiner. You will have a sheet of pictures with questions to help you.

Turn to the pictures on page 152 which show a number of images connected with
environmental probldms. The children in a school class are preparing posters to
raise environmental awareness in their area. Talk to each other about each image.
Then decide which two of these pictures would be the most useful for the children's
posters.

Part 4 (4 minutes)

The examiner will encourage you to develop the topic of your discussion in Part 3
by asking questions such as:
Are school clubs and societies, such as a photographic club and a computer club,
useful for pupils? Why (not)?
What kind of after-school activity did you or would you enjoy at school? Why?
Should schools try to become active parts of the local community? Why (not)?
How can schools raise people's environmental awareness?

ñ* o"tt"t - which
lnterviewer: When you talk about memory being infected'
do you mean bY a disease?
Ann Winters: Yes' For instance, people suffering from a
physiological disease like Alzheimert forget things that
ññpened in the past and thev also forget how to perform
siñole tasks. like tying their shoelaces. The good news is
that brain exercises can keep the brain young. Research
éducation. and have more mentallv active iobs. have a
lower risk of develooing the disease.
lnterviewer: And how can someone exercise his brain - by
thinking a lot?
Ann Winters: ln a way, yes! But you can also practise using
your memory, which not only exercises your brain but also
improves your ability to remember things' Unfortunately' a
lot of devices in modern life are designed to make sure we
dont forget thinqs, which can make our brain more idle
and weaken our memory.
lnterviewer: Would you give us examples of how to
exercise our memory?
Ann Winters: Sure. There's a very simple technique'
although it works better for some people than for others'
Whatever vou want to remember' think of a physical thino
it reminds vou of. lf I want to remember a date from history
- let's say 1066, the date of the Battle of Hastings - I might
think that 'battle' reminds me of 'bottle'. So I think of a
bottle with the number 1066 written on the label, and I just
picture that bottle to mYself.
lnterviewer: Why is it easier to remember a physical thing
than a sentence such as'The Battle of Hastings was in
1066',?
Ann Winters: Because our brains are better at recalling
pictures than abstract thought. That's why I said it works
better for some people than for others; some people are
oarticularly good at seeing pictures in their minds -
visualising ideas - and they are the ones that can
remember things best using this technique.
lnterviewer: ls there anything else we can do to protect our
brains?
Ann Winters: You simply have to exercise your brain
regularly with new, enjoyable and interesting activities, like
learning a new language or playing a new computer game'
lnterviewer: Are you suqgesting that simple things like
doinq crosswords can make the brain more efficient?
Ann Winters: Absolutely.
lnterviewer: l'll keep that in mind! Ann Winters, thanks for
being with us.
Ann Winters: You're welcome.

You will hear people talking in eight different situations.

I know the film is supposed to be fantastic, but normally
I wouldn't bother going to see one like that' I mean, this is
not the kind of film that usually appeals to me. The story is
based on a book by Hemingway that we're reading in class
this term, and I thought that watching the film would make
the book clearer to me, so I think l'll go next weekend.
2
I don't know what the problem was. This wasn't the
bottleneck you get when you come off the motorway. I
must have been stuck there for over an hour, hardly
moving an inch, feeling frustrated and anxious that I
wouldnt make it in time. lt took me two hours to reach the
airoort, althouqh it was only a couple of miles awav!
3
It really was a lovely surprise. I knew she was thinking of
getting me a piece of jewellery because she'd asked me
what sort of earrings I liked, but I hadn't expected pearls! I
think she's trying to be especially nice because she wasnl
so pleased when Colin told her we were getting married;
he's her only son, and she wanted him to wait a few more
years before settling down - which is what his sister did'
She was over 30 when she married .'.

I thought it was going to be a big mistake, when he got that
transfer from Liverpool. They were going through a bad
patch these last two seasons, but they were a good team,
and I thought he should have stayed. But it turns out I was
dead wrong! He's been getting better and better since he
siqned with Arsenal, and he scored a hat-trick in the cup
final!

A: Good morning. Do you have any tickets left for this
evening's performance?
B: Let me just have a look ..' Well, the rear stalls and circle

A: Just two.
B: Yes, I can give you two in the third row ... they're f39

A: f39? I see ... All right, I'll take them.
B: That's f78 altogether. l'll have to ask you to pick them

News travels fast in a small village, I suppose' so everyone
seemed to know, before I got there, that I'd be teaching at
the local school. Whether that made the villagers more
formal in the way they treated me - for the first few
months at least - I really don't know. I gathered from the
way they spoke that they regarded me as quite foreign
because I came from London, and this did startle me for a
while...

It was the decade of peace after the war to end all wars' lt
was a time of decadence and wild enthusiasm - a time of
