‘TASK A-LETTER
Dear Desperate in Manhattan,
Exams can cause an awful lot of stress, so it's no wonder you feel the way you do. Lots of teenagers get nervous when taking exams,
Some get so nervous that their mind goes blank!
‘The first thing you need to do is relax. I know this is easier said than done, but you have to try. Being nervous won't help you pass
the exam. In fact, it will do just the opposite.
‘There are things you can do to boost your self-confidence. It really helps if you start studying for your exams in advance. Don't
leave things for the last minute, You'll end up feeling frustrated because you won't have time to go through everything, That’s why you
should organize yourself and plan your time, Work out a study program with lots of breaks, Don’t spend every waking hour studying.
You should go out just to take your mind off exams.
Thope you find this advice helpful. 'm sure everything will be allright and you'll be off to college with the rest ofthe freshmen in
the fall.
Yours,
Rachel
‘TASK B- ESSAY
Anyone who has survived adolescence knows how tough teen times can be. A major source of stress for young people, especially
today, is pressure for academic competition and social acceptance.
In our competitive world most parents put alot of pressure on their teenage children to do wel at school and get into university in
order to get a good job. As a result, teenagers end up having no free time for themselves. Moreover, if young people don’t come up to
Parental expectations, they may suffer from feelings of guilt and uselessness.
Another source of stress is teenagers’ need for acceptance. To belong to a group is very important to them and they are willing to
follow all the rules set by the group even if that means doing something that goes against their values and parents’ wishes, such as,
drinking and smoking, which may result in feelings of tension and frustration.
In conclusion, it is not easy to be a teenager these days. Young people come under alot of pressure to succeed educationally and
socially, which can lead to psychological imbalance and feelings of inadequacy.

OPTIONS. [DISADVANTAGES
‘Option 1: An outdoor cultural event | Ifthe weather is bad, people will not be able to enjoy the event.
with a parade, food and music.
‘Option 2: An indoor film festival of
culturally related movies with a book
and poster exhibition.
Foreigners who do not speak English well may not be able to enjoy the films if they are
not in their own languages, and it would be difficult to choose which languages to have
subtitles in,
Elaboration Questions
1. Have you ever been to a parade before? Did you enjoy it? On what occasions are they held in your town/country?
2. Have you ever been toa film festival? Would you want to see movies that are shown in a language other than your native tongue?
‘What kind of movies do you think visitors to another country would like to see?
3. Have you been to the U.S. before? What sorts of things would you rather do as a cultural event, other than the options presented?
‘What kind of event do you think of as being typically “American?” Answer Key
Possible reasons for choosing or not choosing a particular option
Option 1
+I think the cultural event with a parade, food and music would be something that would attract foreign visitors. It would be a fun way
for both the local people and visitors to the city to come in contact with each other and for visitors to experience the local food and
I think that the plan for an outdoor parade with food and music isa bit risky because if the weather is bad, it might spoil the event.
Option2
*T think the film festival would be the best way for foreigners to learn about different aspects of the culture, and it would give them a
‘more complete picture of the culture than a parade, They would also be able to buy books about the city and posters as souvenirs to
remind them of their visit.
+ The film festival is not such a good idea in my opinion because many foreigners might not speak English well enough to be able to
enjoy the films. Besides, itis not as fun as the outdoor event and might not attract many people.

TASK A-LETTER
Dear Editor,
Tam writing with regard to the article “Cell Phones Hot with Teens” which appeared in your magazine last week.
{believe that cell phones are being misused, particularly by teenagers. Before cell phones became an important part of our lives,
teenagers were always out and about together. These days it seems they are spending more time sending messages to each other on
their cell phones than socializing, This new trend isolates teenagers. Unfortunately, the problem does not stop there. A lot of teenagers
sit in class playing games on their cell phones instead of paying attention to their teacher. this continues, alot of young people will
be leaving school without a proper education.
Its parents’ duty to rectify the situation by refusing to get their teenage children a cell phone. They should encourage their children to
take up a hobby and spend more time with their friends. Also, students should be forbidden to bring cell phones into class.
Well, [hope I have been of some help to you. I look forward to reading more interesting articles in your magazine.
Yours truly,
Cindy Mitchell
TASK B- ESSAY
Most people say that today’s teenagers are spoiled. The child’s upbringing has a lot to do with it. In other words, itis the parents?
fault if their children grow up to be spoiled.
Parents spoil their children by giving them everything they want when they want it. Ifa child asks for a cell phone at the age of
thirteen, parents’ should think twice before they decide to buy one. Parents often feel that in order to show their children how much
they love them they should buy them things. This usually happens when they feel that they are not spending enough time with their
children. Buying things does not solve the problem. Instead, parents should attempt to spend more time with their children.
Furthermore, parents should remember that they are role models. Children observe their behavior and imitate it. So, ifa parent treats
others with disrespect, the child will probably end up doing the same.
In conclusion, parents should be careful how they behave in front of their children so as not to give them a bad example. They
should teach their children that they can get what they want, but only if they earn it. Aner Ney

WRITING
‘TASK A-LETTER
Dear Ms. Craddock,
Lam writing in response to your memo regarding the survey into the smoking habits of students. I was horrified to learn that the
‘number of students smoking at Chesterfield High has doubled. We need to inform students of the dangers of smoking and we need to
do it now.
To begin with, it would be a good idea to contact the National Anti-smoking Organization. They have a lot of material that can be used
to educate students. They have posters which show the damage smoking does to the lungs and videos on the dangers of smoking. We
could put up posters in every classroom and show stuclents videos in order to acquaint them with the consequences of this deadly habit.
Furthermore, the school could invite an expert from the Campaign for Cancer Research to give a talk. We could also have some of our
students who have quit smoking share their experiences with others.
believe that if we do these things not only will it put students off smoking, but it will also encourage those have already started
smoking to stop.
Yours truly,
Tim Dawson
‘TASK B- ESSAY
It is a fact that most people start smoking when they are in their early teens. There are a number of reasons for this.
‘To begin with, children in most countries go from elementary to high school at the age of twelve or thirteen. This can be a very
stressful period for young people, especialy if they are trying to fit in and make new friends. What is more, young people of this age
are very self-conscious, which means they are desperate to look cool and be accepted. Smoking is one way they can look more mature.
To make matters worse, alot of parents smoke and so set a bad example for their children. The fact that cigarette manufacturers
sponsor sporting events does not help the situation either. As sport is associated with being healthy, this gives smoking a positive
image.
Teenagers must be made aware that smoking can lead to mouth, throat and lung cancer. It can cause breathing problems and lead
to heart disease.
In conclusion, it is obvious that more steps need to be taken in order to discourage young teenagers from smoking.

theme
Possible reasons for choosing or not choosing a particular solution
+ Studying in the town library would be a good idea because in a quiet environment itis easier to concentrate, and he would not be
interrupted by other things going on at home.
+ Studying in the town library might not be a good idea because it might not be very close to his home and he would waste valuable
time getting there and back.
+ Speaking to the children’s parents would be the best solution because they are responsible for their children’s behavior. Besides, the
park isa safer place for the children to play and they would enjoy themselves more there.
+ Speaking to the children’s parents might not solve the problem because they may be at work and not be able to take their children to
the park or they may not have time to, Besides, children should have the right to play in their own neighborhood. PRACTICE TEST 4
