Part 2
Questions 6-15
Look at the sentences about the changes in Jake’s hometown.
Read the text below to decide if each sentence is correct or incorrect.
If it is correct, mark A and blacken it on your answer sheet.
If it is not correct, mark B and blacken it on your answer sheet.

Example: 0 Jake left his hometown ten years ago.

Correct answer: A

6 Jake’s hometown is very different from what it was ten years ago. A

7 Jake's school doesn't exist anymore. B

8 A large shopping mall has been built on the right of the pond. A

9 They have improved the baseball stadium. B

10 Jake likes the new-look baseball stadium .A

11 It's only possible to reach the downtown area on foot. A

12 The buildings in the centre of the town look European. B

13 Jake's street hasn't changed much. A

14 He is sad about the park being ruined. B

15 Jake is going to eat Italian food tonight. B

I have returned to my hometown of Wilson Creek after an absence of 10 years.

So many things have changed around here. When I left Wilson Creek, there was a small
pond on the right as you left town. They have filled in this pond and they have built a large
shopping mall there. A new post office has also been built just across from my old school.
There is a baseball stadium on the outskirts of Wilson Creek which has been changed
completely. They have now added a new stand where probably a few thousand people could
sit. It looks really great.
The biggest changes have taken place in the downtown area. They have pedestrianised the
centre and you can't drive there anymore. A European-style fountain has been built and
some benches have also been added along with a grassy area and a new street cafe.
My street looks just the same as it always has but a public library has been built in the next
street along. There used to be a great park there but they have cut down all the trees, which
is a pity. The library now has a large green area in front of it but it's not the same as when
the park was there.
Another improvement is the number of new restaurants that have opened in Wilson Creek.
A Chinese and an Italian restaurant have opened in the town centre and a Mexican
restaurant has opened near my home which is where I am going tonight!

Part 3
Questions 16-20
Read the text and questions below.
For each question, blacken the correct letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet.

Patricia Denning stars in a sad movie about ambition and heartbreak.

When Cecilia leaves college in Texas, she has everything: a wonderful boyfriend, Carl, an
interesting job and an expensive house in a pretty town. Her life is perfect. Even her black
Labrador dog, Perky, is a star: he wins the local dog competition and Hollywood wants to
put him in a movie.
Cecilia goes to Hollywood with him and leaves her boyfriend alone back home. When the
studio fires Perky, Cecilia decides to stay in Hollywood and tries to get other movie roles
for her beautiful dog.
Carl gives Cecilia an ultimatum: come home and stop behaving crazily, or stay there
forever. Cecilia decides to stay in Hollywood and wants to become an actress herself. She
sends Perky back to Texas and starts an acting course. After six months, Cecilia realizes she
can't act and she misses home, but it's too late. Carl has found another girlfriend. Cecilia
tries to win him back, and also discovers a lot about herself on her long journey.
