The test is intended for test takers who are speakers of other languages (ESOL) and who | would like to demonstrate their ability to communicate in English. Many English-speaking universities accept this qualification (especially at level C! and level C2) as evidence of language proficiency for entry onto their courses. The tests are recognised globally and are accepted by universities, employers and nation- al education authorities in many countries as evidence of a required standard of English. There are two different exams for each level, the IESOL (International ESOL) that tests Listening, Reading and Writing and the ISESOL (International Spoken ESOL), which is a stand-alone Spoken exam.

The word was used to describe a mountain, although the exact kind of mountain is uncertain. The word was ‘adopted by early settlers of southern New Hampshire and later by American geologists. ‘Mount Monadnock is the most prominent New England mountain. It is one of the most-climbed moun- tains in the world. The mountain is the highest point in Cheshire County, New Hampshire. itstands 965 metres tall and is nearly 610 metres above the surrounding landscape. ‘The mountain is also well known in literature. The famous American writers and philosophers Ralph Emerson and Henry David Thoreau were both frequent visitors and wrote fondly about it. A bog near the summit and a rocky lookout off one of the trails are both named after him. Emerson also made the mountain the subject of one of his famous poems. In 1858, Moses Cudworth built a hotel called The Half Way House on the side of the mountain. There was a steep, winding road called the ‘Toll Road’ leading up to it. Today Mount Monadnock . is open for hiking, backpacking, picnicking and snowshoeing and offers amazing views of rural south- em New Hampshire. There is a campground on the southeast side of the mountain; however, camping isnot allowed anywhere else. Gg Parking areas are open from 6am to 8pm, 7 days a week in the summer.

Now, it looks like climate change will make life even harder for these birds. A new study suggests that warmer waters could shrink their ‘numbers. Most king penguins live on the Crozet Archipelago, a group of islands in the Indian Ocean, about 1,000 miles north of Antarctica. After the penguin chicks are born in November (which is summer in the Southern Hemisphere), both parents spend 4 months collecting fish, some of which they regurgitate to feed their offspring. ‘When the fish move to deeper waters in March, the adults leave their chicks alone for months. They swim hun- \dreds of miles south. There, near the Antarctic ice, they spend the winter eating squid, fish and other sea crea- tures, to replenish their own energy stores, In October, nearly a year after their chicks were born, the parents ‘return to feed and finish raising them. Scientists from the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) in Strasbourg, France, have been studying king penguins on the Crozet Archipelago for a decade. Starting in 1998, Yvon Le Maho and colleagues implanted electronic ID tags under the skin of hundreds of penguins. ‘These are the same types of tags you might put in your dog or cat, so you can track them if they get lost. The have allowed Le Maho’s team to identify individual birds and keep track of details about them, such as how long they live, whether they return from their winter trips, and if their chicks manage to survive the winter. It is mportant for the scientists to do this because they need to know these things about the penguins, so if it seems in trouble, they can take steps to help them and ensure their survival. ‘whether water temperatures affect the penguins, Le Maho compared his data with temperature records. temperatures vary from year to year. And previous research had shown that fewer squid, fish and es are present when the water is warmer. Le Maho suspected that this drop in the food supply would rder for adult penguins to survive the tough times ahead. Indeed, his results showed that fewer adults ‘winters when the water was especially warm. Just a quarter of a degree ((1.26"C to be exact) warm- reduces adult penguins’ survival rates by 9 percent in later years. ‘can live for up to 30 years.

All inmates had to wear the rough workhouse uniform and sleep in crowd. ed dormitories. Supervised baths were given once a week.

As a territorial collectivity, it enjoys greater powers than ‘other French regions, but for the most part its status is quite similar. Much of the island is wild, covered by dense shrubs called maquis, whose flowers produce a fra- grance that carries far out to sea. The maquis also long provided hideouts for bandits, and banditry was not suppressed until the 1930s.

Honey for Your Cough Coughs, sniffies, sneezes, runny noses. Colds and other nasty lung infections are especially common in winter. To fight the misery, many people swallow syrups and pills that claim to clear stuffy noses, soothe sore throats, stile coughs and improve sleep. Growing evidence, however, suggests that these medicines don't really work. What's worse, they can have unpleasant, even dangerous, side-effects, espe- cially for young children. That's why some doctors are ‘now recommending an ancient remedy for their cough- ing patients: honey. fs the kind of advice you might expect rom your n .

She's also a nutri- tion consultant for the National Honey Board. “Substances called antioxidants may also be part of the answer’, Beals says. Antioxidants, which are also found in foods such a ies, spinach, and dark chocolate, protect our cells from damage. Studies show that antioxidant levels in the body rise after someone ‘swallows honey. All honey contains antioxidants, but certain types contain more than others. “There are more than 300 types of honey’, Beals says. Colour, flavour, and health benefits depend on ‘which types of flowers honey-producing bees visit. “Most of the honey we buy in U.S. grocery stores is ‘made by bees that visit clover plants. Darker honeys, such as the buckwheat type that Paul used in his ‘experiment, are generally higher in antioxidants than lighter ones, including clover’, Beals says. Honey has another health advantage: at least some types seem to kill infectious microbes. One honey from New Zealand has proved especially good at healing wounds when slathered on the skin. "There is no evi- dence that eating honey will help prevent colds", Beals ‘says. But if your throat is sore and you can't stop. ‘coughing, it might make you feel better. And a little dose of sweetness might just cheer you up!

The Tower Of London Her Majesty's Royal Palace and Fortress, more commonly known as the Tower of London, and in the past as simply The Tower, is a historic monument in central London, England, on the north bank of the River Thames. It is located within the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. The term ‘Tower of London’ is often associated with the White Tower, the original stark square fortress section built by William the Conqueror in 1078. Some are preserved very well, even today. Throughout its history, it has served many different functions. The tower functioned pri- matily as a fortress, a royal palace and a prison. The future Queen Elizabeth | was one of the most famous of these. This use of the tower as a prison has led to the phrase “sent to the Tower". The tower has also served as a place of execution and torture, an armoury, a treasury, a 200, the Royal Mint, a public records office and an observatory. It was also rumoured to be home to many ghosts. Today the Tower of London is principally a tourist attraction. The tower is manned by the "Yeomen Warders (known as Beefeaters), who act as tour guides and provide security. J Every evening, the warders participate in the Ceremony of the Keys. In this ceremony, the Tower is secured for the night. ‘A. They have become a tourist attraction in their own right. B. However, the tower as a whole is a complex of several buildings, C. Since 1303, it has housed the Crown Jewels of the United Kingdom. ‘The prison was used to house high class and royal criminals in particular. Many consider a trip to London incomplete without a visit to the Tower. __ This means “to be imprisoned”. supposed Roman origin is a myth. Total: 6 marks2 3 i z 3 8 | i the texts.

An example is done for you, | Science Games Daniel Kunkle spent most of his time in graduate school playing with a colourful puzzle called a rubik's Cube. With clever computer programming, Kunkle figured out that any Rubik's Cube can be solved in 26 moves or fewer. The previous record was 27. Studying puzzles and games may sound like fun, and not like serious science, but the work might also eventually help scientists solve real-world problems. ach side of a Rubik’s Cube is divided into nine squares, like a tic-tac-toe board. When the puzzle is solved, allnine squares on each side are the same colour as one another. So, there's a red side, a green side, and so on. ‘series of random rotations mixes up the colours. To solve the puzzle, you have to make the right series of ‘wists to group the same colours together again on each side. The Rubik's Cube can be arranged in about 43 uintillion possible ways. That's 43 with 18 zeros after it! By hand, it can take a long time to find a solution ‘A computer can try every possible move and compare solutions to solve the problem much more quickly. ut with so many potential arrangements even the world's fastest computer would take a few weeks to come up with a solution. But Kunkle came up with ways to shorten the process and eventually set a new record of 26 steps to solve the Rubik's Cube, Researchers suspect the absolute minimum could be just 20 moves, but they have yet to prove it. The strategies that Kunkle used to solve the cube can be applied to other complicated problems, especially ‘ones that require you to search through lots of possibilities. Scheduling airplane flights to carry millions of | people to a variety of destinations as quickly as possible is one example. Jonathan Schaeffer of the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada, faced an even bigger challenge: win- ning at checkers. On a traditional checkerboard, each player starts with 12 pieces in his or her own back three rows. During each turn, players slide one piece a distance of one square toward their opponent's side. An ‘enemy piece is captured by jumping your piece over it. The player that removes all enemy pieces wins. ‘Schaeffer's computer programme considered all possible moves and countermoves in a game of checkers. In spite of his efforts to cut down time, the computers took 18 years to finish the problem. In the end, it con- ‘cluded that if neither player makes a mistake, the game will always be a tie. Like the methods Kunkle devel- ‘oped for the Rubik's Cube, Schaeffer's strategies are being applied to practical problems in scheduling. Indeed, it just goes to show that playing games can sometimes turn into serious science! Example: Which two people are mentioned in this article? 3 4.

I was very happy to see the graph because it is important for people to know. But the graph made me feel very angry. I do not agree with how the city spent the money. First of all, I can not believe that twice as much money was spent on road maintenance than was spent on edu- cation! It is shocking! I know road maintenance is im- portant, but why does it cost so much? I don't understand. Secondly, even more was spent on police than on educa tion, If more was spent on education I am sure less would need to be spend on police! Finally, I think more money has to be spend to help out the poor. There is no way cround this. It is govern- ‘ment's responsibility. ‘Thank you for reading my letter VUUURUSUG?
