LANGUAGES
1. Read the text and circle the best title.

a Language studies in England
b A different language to study
c Why English people study languages
Most students at school study at least one and maybe two languages apart from their own. European
children tend to learn European languages and in England these languages are probably French,
Spanish or German, but one student, Alex Brown, learns another language after school, and it’s not
European. It’s Swahili.
Alex is interested in the language because his grandparents are originally from the southern part of
Africa and their first language is Swahili. So, every day when classes finish, Alex goes to his
grandparents’ house for his extra class. Alex really enjoys learning from his grandfather, because he
loves hearing all the old stories about his grandfather’s childhood.
His grandfather obviously doesn’t ask for any money, but Alex pays for the class in another way. He
looks after his grandparents’ garden. He enjoys cutting the grass and watering the plants, but the one
thing he doesn’t like is collecting the fallen leaves from the trees.
Alex’s dad picks him up after the class to take him home. ‘I’m very happy that my son is learning the
language of my father’ he says. ‘When he is older he can go to Africa to visit his distant family and talk
to them.’

and if I find a job, I will have more money, which will be good. This will also make my girlfriend
happy.
c Obviously, the first option is the one that makes my girlfriend and my parents happy, but I think it’s
the one that I personally don’t want. I need a change and if I stay at school I think I’ll be
demotivated and bored. So it looks like there is no option that will please everybody: What can I do?
If someone can give me some advice, I’ll be very grateful!

c angry c pleased
Dear Aunt Helen,

I have a big problem. Do you remember the photos of the girl, Isabel, who I met when we were on
holiday in Spain? Well, now I can’t stop thinking about her. I can’t concentrate on my studies and in a
German test yesterday my mind was blank and I couldn’t remember anything! I don’t know why, and
I failed it! What can I do? I’m worried that I’ll fail all my exams because all that I do is think about her.
If I could stop thinking about her, I’d be OK.
Love, Keith
Dear Keith,
First of all, I think it’s great that you met such a lovely girl! She’s very beautiful in the photos you sent
me. You should be glad to know her and you shouldn’t be stressed. I know you’re unhappy because
she’s far away but you should be positive. She’s not in Australia! You could ask your parents for a
plane ticket to Spain for your birthday. And you shouldn’t be embarrassed about it. If you explained
how you felt to them, I’m sure they’d understand. And you shouldn’t worry about your exams. If you
were more relaxed, I’m confident that you’d pass them. And remember that I’m very happy for you!

In November 2002, the oil tanker Prestige broke in two off the Galician coast, to the north-west of
Spain, leading to one of the worst environmental disasters Spain has experienced.
The ship, which was carrying more than 70,000 tonnes of oil, started to have problems when it was
caught in a terrible storm. The strong waves broke a hole in the side of the ship and, despite attempts to
avoid the disaster, a large amount of oil was released into the sea.
Westerly winds blew a large amount of this oil onto the Galician beaches and rocks, destroying wildlife
and one of the most beautiful parts of European coastline. Fishing also had to be completely suspended
in the area, meaning many local people lost their means of earning money. After a few days floating
helplessly at sea, the Prestige sank, taking to the bottom with it most of its deadly cargo, the long-term
consequences of which are not yet known.
Thousands of local people helped clean the more than 140 beaches affected along the ‘Coast of Death’
by removing the oil and taking affected sea birds to have the oil removed from their feathers. Only time
will tell if this natural paradise will return to its previous state.

she was unemployed. She said that there were a lot of violent crimes in her town and that many drug
addicts lived in her street. She also said that, after voting for the government in the last election, she
definitely wouldn’t be voting for them again.
b Last Saturday a demonstration marched to Parliament to protest about the government’s policies.
Two large organisations were involved in the march. One was ‘Green Planet’, which was
demonstrating in general about environmental problems and specifically about the new law on
nuclear energy.
c We also asked a member of the government for his views and he said people didn’t understand how
complicated it was to solve these problems and that the government was doing everything it could to
make things better. We told him about the unfortunate woman and all her problems but he said he
had no comment on the matter.
d The other was ‘No More Crime’, which believes that the government does not do enough to prevent
crime and violence. There were also thousands of individuals, all with their own personal worries
and protests against the government, such as unemployment and drug abuse.

First, obviously, it was written by the author, on his portable laptop computer. Then the story was sent
to the publishers. The editor thought that the general idea was fantastic, although the story was a bit
flawed in places, so parts of it were rewritten.
When everyone had decided that it was ready to be printed, the complete work was loaded onto the
publisher’s main computer. The work was 326 pages long, so 163 sheets of paper were needed, as both
sides are used. These were loaded into the printer and a test was printed. When everyone was satisfied,
thousands of copies were printed. Also the front and back covers were designed. An artist was
employed for this job, and when they were approved by the author and the editor, these were also
printed, on special, more expensive paper, and in colour.
The product wasn’t advertised heavily, but copies were given to critics, whose reviews were read by
many people. The product was sold in specialised shops and also in department stores, in their literary
section, and because the reviews described it as ‘excellent’ and ‘superb’, nearly a hundred thousand
copies were sold.

There are eight wrong words. Circle the
wrong words and write the correct word
instead.
Winston has moved to a more
uncomfortable cell. He eats meat three
times a day and he is getting fatter and
stronger every day. O’Brien takes Winston
to Room 101 because he must love Big
Brother. On the floor there is a big metal
box full of rats – the worst thing in the
world for Winston. O’Brien puts the
narrow end of the tube over Winston’s face
and Winston can see the first rat. So
Winston protects Julia. Finally, Winston
sits in the Chestnut Tree Café and drinks
some coffee. He has met Julia again, in a
café on a warm day in March, but he only
cares about himself now. He loves Big
Brother.

eats a meal three times a day and he is getting fatter
and stronger every day. O’Brien takes Winston to
Room 101 because he must love Big Brother. On the
table there is a big metal box full of rats – the worst
thing in the world for Winston. O’Brien puts the wide
end of the tube over Winston’s face and Winston can
see the first rat. So Winston betrays Julia. Finally,
Winston sits in the Chestnut Tree Café and drinks
some gin. He has met Julia again, in a park on a cold
day in March, but he only cares about himself now.
