Almost every language in the world has dialects, and American English is no exception. At the
present time there is an interesting study on American speech habits. This study has shown that
different words are frequently used in different parts of the country to denote the same thing. For
example, in the east, Americans use the word “soda” to denote a soft drink. In some parts of the
west, a soft drink is “tonic”. Such differences are usually a source of conversation and sometimes
misunderstanding happens.
Speech and life all over the world have often changed. New words are being used when new
discoveries are made and new concepts are formed. Usage determines what is correct or incorrect.
Fifty years ago, it was incorrect to say “It’s me.” But today it is acceptable simply because most
Americans say that instead of “It’s I.” People change, so language changes. What is wrong today
may be right tomorrow.
1. American English has no dialects.
2.The study has shown that different words are used in different parts to denote the same thing.
3 Differences in speech can lead to new concepts

With millions of jobs set to be replaced by changes in technology, we may not be able to stop the
rise of robots and automation. The robots are coming. We can see the enormous strides
that technology makes each year and the jobs taken over by automation. Yes, believe or not, there
really are robots performing surgeries on humans. Robot – assisted surgery can give surgeons more
precise control over their instruments and an improved view of what are they doing.
Computer systems are becoming incredibly good at performing multi – faceted tasks. Take
autonomous cars which can be classified as robotic vehicles. Driving would fit all the criteria for a
complicated task that only humans should be able to perform, yet we have autonomous cars
increasingly racking up the miles collision free. In the game – playing arena, we are seeing
machines beat the previously unbeatable professional players and generally encroaching on skills
that once belonged to humans alone. All these technologies eventually can be integrated into robots.
Are we close to the tipping point where humans become redundant in many sectors?
According to a recent survey, four million jobs in the British private sector could be replaced by
robots in the next decade. That would impact on 15 percent of the current workforce and would
have much the same impact in Ireland. Of course, new opportunities will come along, particularly
ones which require strong cognitive and social skills, but this really means that people will have to
become more human.
1. We cannot put a stop on technology innovation.
2. Robotic systems can help surgeons increase precision.
3. Computer systems are only capable of carrying out multiple simple tasks.
4. Driving task is so complex that it can’t be performed by an autonomous vehicle.

risk of earthquakes, buildings need to be strong and flexible enough to survive a quake without

lucky, smokers can still find some bars and restaurants where they can light up a cigarette, but it
may soon be banned there , too. Anti-smoking groups even think that smoking ought to be banned
in people’s homes. Under new plans you won’t be able to smoke where there are more than ten

FOOTPRINTS ON THE MOON
     Long ago a lot of people thought the moon was a god. Other people thought it was just a light in
the sky. And others thought it was a big ball of cheese.
     The telescopes were made. And men saw that the moon was really another world. They
wondered what it was like. They dreamed of going there.
     On July 20,1969, that dream came true. Two American men landed on the moon. Their names
were Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin. The first thing the men found was that the moon is covered
with dust. The dust is so thick that the men left footprints where they walked. Those were the first
marks a living thing had ever made on the moon. And they could stay there for years and years.
There is no wind or rain to wipe them off.
     The two men walked on the moon for hours. They picked up rocks to bring back to earth for
study. They dug up dirt to bring back. They set up machines to find out things people wanted to
know. Then they climbed back into their moon landing craft.
     Next day, the landing craft roared as the two men took off from the moon. They joined Michael
Collins in the spaceship that waited for them above the moon. Then they were off on their trip back
to earth. Behind them they left the plains and tall mountains of the moon. They left the machines
they had set up. And they left footprints that may last forever.
1.The passage tells who had left footprints on the moon before the two men landed there.
2.The men brought rocks and dirt from the moon because they wanted to keep them as souvenirs.

Aldrin walked.

VII. Read the text and decide whether the following statements are TRUE ( T ) or FALSE ( F)
( 1m)
If you think of the jobs robots could never do, you would probably put doctors and teachers at the
top of the list. It’s easy to imagine robot cleaners and factory workers, but some jobs need human
connection and creativity. But are we underestimating what robots can do? In some cases, they
already perform better than doctors at diagnosing illness. Also, some patients might feel more
comfortable sharing personal information with a machine than a person. Could there be a place for
robots in education after all? British education expert Anthony Seldon thinks so. And he even has a
date for the robot takeover of the classroom: 2027. He predicts robots will do the main job of
transferring information and teachers will be like assistants. Intelligent robots will read students’
faces, movements and maybe even brain signals. Then they will adapt the information to each
student. It’s not a popular opinion and it’s unlikely robots will ever have empathy and the ability to
really connect with humans like another human can. One thing is certain, though. A robot teacher is
better than no teacher at all. In some parts of the world, there aren’t enough teachers and 9–16 per
cent of children under the age of 14 don’t go to school. That problem could be partly solved by
robots because they can teach anywhere and won’t get stressed, or tired, or move somewhere for an
easier, higher-paid job. Those negative aspects of teaching are something everyone agrees on.
Teachers all over the world are leaving because it is a difficult job and they feel overworked.
Perhaps the question © 2019 British Council www.britishcouncil.org/learnenglish is not ‘Will
robots replace teachers?’ but ‘How can robots help teachers?’ Office workers can use software to
do things like organise and answer emails, arrange meetings and update calendars. Teachers waste a
lot of time doing non-teaching work, including more than 11 hours a week marking homework. If
robots could cut the time teachers spend marking homework and writing reports, teachers would
have more time and energy for the parts of the job humans do best.
1. Many experts agree robots will replace teachers by 2027.
2. One advantage of robot teachers is that they don’t need to rest.
3. Robot assistants could help teachers by marking homework.
4. Some teachers use robots to reduce their time answering emails and marking homework.

VII. Read the passage, then decide if the statements that follow it are True or False. (1 pt)
It might sound strange to you but these are some important rules. If you want to pass
examinations, then study grammar. However, if you want to become fluent in English, try to learn
English without studying too much grammar because that will only slow you down and confuse
you. You will think about the rules when creating sentences instead of speaking naturally like a
native speaker. Some native speakers do not know so many grammar rules as non-native students
do.
Everyone can speak at least one language whether they are intelligent, or lack some brain power.
This could be achieved by being surrounded by that language at all times. You may notice that there
are also some people who study abroad and learn very little. That is because they go to an English
speaking school, but find friends from their own country and don’t practice English. Some others
can speak English well because they live in an English speaking environment.
Therefore, why don’t you surround yourself with English? Make rules with some friends that you
will only speak English when meeting up for a coffee, for example. You can also carry around an
iPod and listen to English as much as possible.
1 . You should study grammar to pass examinations.
2. You don’t need to study too much grammar to be fluent in English.
3. You need to be quite intelligent to study a language well.
4. Living in an English speaking environment, people will learn the language better.
5. An iPod may be useful for you to improve your listening skill.

Most people agreed that pop music started in the United States in the 1950s and that it developed
from black American music. Since its advent, it was especially for young people. In many
countries, they liked listening to it and dancing to it because it was exciting and it was a way of
rebelling against their parents’ generation. Many parents strongly hated it. They disliked the way
many pop stars looked and acted. They thought the music was rubbish and the group couldn’t sing
or play their instruments properly. They said that pop music wouldn’t last for long.
Today, attitudes are different. Many of today’s parents are people who loved the music when
they were young and still do. As a result of this, pop music is no longer for the young. In addition,
some of the stars whose careers began a long time ago and who are now middled-aged are just as
popular today as they were then. Their original fans still like them, perhaps, because they remind
them of when they were young. At the same time, new generations of young people buy their
records and go to their concerts. So pop music was not just brief fashion. All these years since, it is
more popular than ever.
1.Most people agree that pop music developed from black American music
2.The youth disliked the way many pop sars looked and acted.
3. Parents’attitudes today are not the same towards pop music.
4. Pop music is still only for the youth today.

The London Underground, or the Tube, is the popular public transportation system of London. The concept
for the London Underground was first proposed in the 1830s, by a lawyer called Charles Pearson.
However, not until 1863 was the first section of the Underground built, and opened to the public. On its
opening day, it transported 38,000 passengers, and within the first year, it had been used b> 93 million
passengers.
The system has been improved significantly over the past century, and now it includes twelve lines serving
Greater London, operating from 5.00 am through to 1.00 am, Monday to Saturday. On Sundays, it operates
a reduced service. For the passengers' convenience, the system is also interconnected with the overground
train network which links to other parts of the country outside London.
To enable passengers to get around easily. London Underground maps are distributed freely at all stations.
Along with a plan of the Tube system, the free maps contain useful tips for safe and efficient travelling.
The map itself is a design classic, with the various lines indicated in different colours and dearly indicated
junctions showing the stations where passengers can change between lines.
1.It was first proposed by a famous London architect.
2.The system was opened to the public in the 18th century.
3.The system operates around the clock.
4.It is convenient to travel on the Tube, because it connects with the rail system above the ground.
