The problem is that I’m really unhappy at the moment. I

There’s so much variety: plays, quiz shows, news,

much better than television
I am always surprised to find how much green space there is
2. in an English city. I really enjoy walking on the grass,
especially as I don’t have a garden of my own
I am always astonished how twenty-two grown men can run

like children. Surely they’ve got better things to do.
Well, it’s our sense of fair play, I think. It means that the

It goes on for ages, from the end of October when it gets

February I have to get away and find some sunshine. I get
so depressed by it.
For me, Sunday morning means getting up late, going down
to the newsagent and buying two or three, then making

coffee and reading them. Lovely!
Most people who live in a house have somewhere at the

that way.

TASK 2 –HOMESTAY ..… / 8
You are going to read a text about three different types of rooms.
Decide if the statements 1-8 are TRUE (T) or FALSE (F), marking the right option in the answer grid,
as in example 0.
Answers must be based exclusively on the information in the texts
HOMESTAY
SINGLE ROOM WITH BED AND CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST
Bed and breakfast is best for students who want more independence, especially in the evenings.
Contact with your host would be limited, as the host is at work during the day. There are
opportunities to practise your English in the morning and evening. The school is between 10 to 25
minutes walking or a short bus ride. Price includes washing facilities, a weekly cleaning service
and free wifi throughout the house. You can plan to arrive on the Saturday before your course
starts and leave on the Saturday or Sunday after your course finishes.
SINGLE ROOM WITH BED, BREAKFAST AND EVENING MEALS
If you want to experience English family life and spend a lot of time speaking English, this
accommodation option is for you. You will live as part of the family, sharing meal times and taking
part in home-life. A continental breakfast and evening meals are provided for the whole week, so
there is no need to cook for yourself. You will have a private room with a bed, a desk and a
wardrobe.
When you arrive, normally the family will discuss some house rules. You can’t smoke in the house
and you need to be home before dinner. They don’t want any pets in this house.
SINGLE ROOM WITH BED, BREAKFAST AND FOUR EVENING MEALS
This option is similar to the one above with a continental breakfast served all week but in this one
you can only have four evening meals. This flexibility gives you some independence in the evening
to do other things.
Breakfast usually consists of cereal and milk, a cup of tea and toast with jam. Sometimes dinner
can include grilled lamb chops and vegetables, or chicken with rice.
Laundry (but not ironing) is included.

TASK 3 – WORK .…. / 8
You are going to read a text about a person’s experiences working at Harrods.
Read the text and choose the correct answer (a, b or c) to complete each statement. Mark the
correct answers with an (X) as in the example (0). Write your answers in the ANSWER SHEET.
MY WORK EXPERIENCE
A year ago I worked at Harrods, one of the most famous department stores in
London. This is my wonderful experience.
It started when I went to London for the day. After visiting Buckingham Palace and
the Houses of Parliament, I wanted to visit Harrods to see what it was like. I
remembered visiting it once when I was a child but it was on a short visit and I only
saw the ground floor.
When I was there, I saw a lot of information about some job opportunities for
students during the summer holidays. I was sure I wasn’t going to get a position but
I wrote to them to ask about the jobs. A few days later, I got another email back
offering me to do a telephone interview. I couldn´t believe it.
The interview was very brief. They especially wanted to know when I could start.
They also asked me some things about my CV, like my studies and work
experience. Then they informed me that they would like to invite me to work at
Harrods, starting immediately.
I had some work experience but working as a shop-assistant was completely new
to me so I was nervous. I read all about Harrods history to prepare for the job.
5
Apparently they were very strict about their dress code. I really had to buy some
clothes because everything I had was very comfortable but too casual: jeans,
boots, T-shirts etc. I urgently needed to look more professional.
I didn´t want to be late on the first day so I got up early, to have a big breakfast.
Later, I had a shower and put on a lovely new dress and my favourite earrings,
which always bring me luck.
After a one hour journey, I arrived early and was delighted to meet 8 more people
who were practically all new. It was the first day for five of them and the other often
worked for Harrods in summer.
I loved my experience at Harrods. I learnt a lot and I made a lot of friends. The
work hours were long and I had to get up before seven o´clock to get to London but
I would love to repeat the experience.
