4. Read the following extract twice at normal reading pace. (DO NOT dictate the extract for candidates
to write.)
The ... living room would be a comfortable and well-ordered room if it were not for a number of
indestructible contradictions to this state of being. fts furnishing are typical and undistinguished
and their primary features now is that they have clearly had to accommodate the living of too
many people for too many years - and they are tired. Still, we can see that at some time, a time
probably no longer remembered by the family (except perhaps for MAMA), the fumishings of
this room were actually selected with care and love and even hope - and brought to this apartment
and arranged with taste and pride.
That was a long time ago. Now the once loved pattern of the couch upholstery has to fight to show
itself under acres of crocheted doilies and couch covers which have themselves finally come to
be more important than the upholstery. And here a table or a chair has been moved to disguise the
wom places in the carpet; but the carpet has fought back by showing its weariness, with depressing
uniformity, elsewhere on its surface.
Weariness has, in fact, won in this room. Everything has been polished, washed, sat on, used,
scrubbed too often. All pretences but living itself have long since vanished from the very atmosphere
of this room.
