A. Fill in the blanks with the words in the conversation between a radio DJ and a businesswoman
working in a big company called Tchibo.
---Welcome to our radio show “to shop, or not to shop” on Buzz FM. Today, we have a guest from
Turkey. She is the manager of Tchibo stores in Turkey. First of all, welcome to our show.

--- Thank you for having me.

--- Yes, Mrs. Yılmaz, can you tell us about Tchibo in Turkey?

--- We have a lot of customers. People come to our store to shop.

--- What can they buy?

--- A lot of products such as clothes, make-up, accessories. We have a lot of products, and sometimes
customers are hungry because they spend a lot of time when they shop. So, we even sell food and
coffee.

--- What about your prices?

--- Well, we have a lot of cheap products. For example, a regular DVD or a CD costs the same in our
shop. So, I can say we have low prices.

--- Let’s talk about something else now. Mrs. Yılmaz, a lot of stores have websites nowadays. Do you
have a website?

--- Yes, in fact we have a website, and customers can use it for online shopping. We have almost
everything on our website, and sometimes we have special days. On these days, we give discount.
So, customers can buy cheaper on our website. Also, they can pay for products by credit card.

--- So you have a lot of customers, and you sell a lot of different products. Is Tchibo a department
store?

--- No, it is not, because we are a small shop. We are not a multi-floor store, and we don’t sell
everything; for example, we don’t sell furniture or stationery, so we are not a department store.

--- OK, thank you for joining us Mrs. Yılmaz.

--- You’re welcome.

 Vocabulary Test 1-Part A
Fill in the blanks with the appropriate words below. Do not change the form. There are TWO
EXTRA WORDS.
It was a nice and warm summer day in Georgia for a sweet puppy named “Mumu.” Mumu
was a 1 pleasant and sweet dog, about eight months old. Her fur was white and caramel. The sun
was very 2 bright, and relaxing on that day, and she really enjoyed the heat from the sun. Mumu did
not like to stay in the house all the time, because she was an outdoor type of dog. However, her
parents were rich and lived in luxury, in a big mansion, and they never let her exercise. Mumu did not
have much 3 experience about the life outside. For this reason, she could not go any 4 far places
from her home. Soon after she decided to go more distance, she was afraid, as she had realized that
it was a bit scary, and everything was different from what she knew, for example the buildings, cars,
people, and smells. Suddenly, things started to get worse. First, it started raining, but strangely she
liked the rain, so she 5 didn’t mind the rain. Then, she heard a thunderstorm. At that point, she 6
considered going back home, but she did not know where she was. She walked through the puddles
along the side of the road. She saw her little cute face from the surface of the water. The weather got
really cold, and she could not see anywhere, because the 7 fog made it impossible to see ahead.
Then, it started to snow heavily, and soon after, the snowstorm turned into a/an 8 blizzard. Poor
Mumu did not know that one of the biggest hurricanes in the last 15 years was near her. This was
probably the worst day of her life, but it was not the end of her day. She first saw the side of the road
and decided to cross the street, but a car came very fast and almost killed her. (To be continued…)
Extra words: near and believed

Vocabulary Test 1-Part B

Fill in the blanks with the appropriate words below. Do not change the form. There are TWO
EXTRA WORDS.

Mumu, the poor little puppy, was very scared. In fact, she was in big 1 danger. She closed her
eyes. When she opened them, she saw the big tire of a car. The car almost 2 hit her. The driver saw
Mumu at the last second, because the snow 3 covered everywhere in white, including Mumu.
Melinda, the driver, came out of her car, and held Mumu in her arms. Melinda was also very scared,
and she burst into tears as soon as she realized that Mumu was fine. Melinda took Mumu to the
police station. The chief police officer, Clifton, welcomed them into his office. Mumu was so cold,
and the hall in the police station was cold too, but his office was very warm, so he thought that it
would be a good idea to close the door to keep out the chill. Then, Clifton and Melinda talked about

3
how they could save Mumu from this 4 emergency situation. The talk 5 lasted about 20 minutes. At
the end of their talk, they found the solution. They 6 agreed that the best way to find her parents
was to take her to the animal shelter and announce from their website with her picture that there
was a dog found. Another police officer, Brock, came into the room to join their discussion. As soon
as he saw Mumu, he thought that she looked 7 familiar because he thought that he saw her before.
After looking at her more closely, he realized that he was right. Mumu was his neighbor’s puppy. He
knew how to 8 reach Mumu’s parents. So, Brock thanked Melinda for taking part in Mumu’s 9 rescue
and took Mumu back to her home. In the car, Mumu thought that she experienced a very bad day, as
she 10 suffered a lot in the last eight hours from the freezing weather conditions. There was no
doubt that it was 11 definitely a very scary and adventurous day for her. However, she thought that
she learned a very good lesson. In other words, she 12 benefited from this lesson since she would
never consider going far from her home again. Once they got home, her parents were very happy to
see Mumu again. They hugged each other tightly and cried happy tears. They lived happily ever
after...
