 PART 1: READING
(24 points)
Task 1 (8 points / each question 1 point)
For questions 1-8, read the text carefully and answer the questions below the text. Make sure
to provide your answers on the answer sheet.

Clarkson is a large town. It has more than fifty thousand people living there. It sits next
to a large river, the Clark River. Every day, people take the ferry from North Clarkson to
South Clarkson to go to work.
Most people live in North Clarkson. There are many trees and the streets are very broad.
When the sun shines and the children run and play in the safe streets, North Clarkson is
a wonderful place to live.
South Clarkson has a lot of shops and factories. People don't live there, but they come in
the morning to work. There is also a big stadium where the Clarkson Tigers play. On
Sundays, many people go to watch their favourite team.
At the weekend, the people from Clarkson enjoy walking along the bank of the Clark
River. They also sail small boats on the water and if there is a little wind, they fly kites in
the large park.
Every year, Clarkson grows in size because a lot of people come to live there. The
government builds more houses and the streets get busier. Maybe in the future, if the
town continues to grow, it will become a city!
Are the sentences true or false? Answer A for TRUE and B for FALSE.
A B

1. Nearly fifty thousand people live in Clarkson. TRUE FALSE

2. The Clark River is a big river. TRUE FALSE

For questions 1-8, read the text carefully and answer the questions below the text. Make sure
to provide your answers on the answer sheet.
Sixteen - What now?
You’re 16 and finally you can leave school! By now, you’re probably sick of teachers,
desks, tests and exams. But don’t just run for the exit. You need to think carefully about
what to do next.
If you want a professional career, you will need to go to university and get a degree. To
do that, you need to stay at high school for another two years. But you needn’t stay at
the same place. There are several options in the district of Northacre.
St. Leopold’s School has the best pass rate of all the high schools in the district. It offers
a wide range of subjects in the humanities and sciences. St Leopold’s is, of course, a
2
private school, so may be too expensive for you. But don’t worry, there are several other
options if you want to follow the academic route. Knowle Grammar School is a state
school, so there are no fees, and it has excellent tuition and facilities. It is a boys’ school
from the ages of 11-16, but from 16-18 it is co-educational. But it is selective, so you’ll
have to pass an exam to get in. If you’re interested in going into Business, check out
Wyle River Academy. This school specialises in subjects like Business Studies,
Management and Economics. If you prefer the arts, look at the courses on offer at
Northacre College. Here you can study woodwork, art, textiles and much more.
Northacre College also offers a wide range of vocational qualifications. You can do a 1-
year certificate or a 2-year diploma in subjects like electrics, plumbing, roofing and
hairdressing. If you’d prefer to work outdoors, look at Milldown College, where there
are courses in Farm Mechanics, Land Management, Animal Management and much
more.
A final option is to get an apprenticeship with a local or national company. You will get
on-the-job training, gain certificates or diplomas and start earning straight away. But be
warned - places are limited! Find out more at the Jobs Fair on 26th May at Northacre
College.

Study problems – help is here

Social media, magazines and shop windows bombard people daily with things to buy, and
British consumers are buying more clothes and shoes than ever before. Online shopping means
it is easy for customers to buy without thinking, while major brands offer such cheap clothes
that they can be treated like disposable items – worn two or three times and then thrown away.
In Britain, the average person spends more than £1,000 on new clothes a year, which is around
four per cent of their income. That might not sound like much, but that figure hides two far
more worrying trends for society and for the environment. First, a lot of that consumer
spending is via credit cards. British people currently owe approximately £670 per adult to credit
card companies. That’s 66 per cent of the average wardrobe budget. Also, not only are people
spending money they don’t have, they’re using it to buy things they don’t need. Britain
throws away 300,000 tons of clothing a year, most of which goes into landfill sites.
People might not realise they are part of the disposable clothing problem because they donate
their unwanted clothes to charities. But charity shops can’t sell all those unwanted clothes. ‘Fast
fashion’ goes out of fashion as quickly as it came in and is often too poor quality to recycle;
people don’t want to buy it second-hand. Huge quantities end up being thrown away, and a lot
of clothes that charities can’t sell are sent abroad, causing even more economic and
environmental problems.
However, a different trend is springing up in opposition to consumerism – the ‘buy nothing’
trend. The idea originated in Canada in the early 1990s and then moved to the US, where it
became a rejection of the overspending and overconsumption of Black Friday and Cyber
Monday during Thanksgiving weekend. On Buy Nothing Day people organise various types of
protests and cut up their credit cards. Throughout the year, Buy Nothing groups organise the
exchange and repair of items they already own.
The trend has now reached influencers on social media who usually share posts of clothing and
make-up that they recommend for people to buy. Some YouTube stars now encourage their
viewers not to buy anything at all for periods as long as a year. Two friends in Canada spent a
year working towards buying only food. For the first three months they learned how to live
without buying electrical goods, clothes or things for the house. For the next stage, they gave
up services, for example haircuts, eating out at restaurants or buying petrol for their cars. In
one year, they’d saved $55,000.

4
The changes they made meant two fewer cars on the roads, a reduction in plastic and paper
packaging and a positive impact on the environment from all the energy saved. If everyone
followed a similar plan, the results would be impressive. But even if you can’t manage a full year
without going shopping, you can participate in the anti-consumerist movement by refusing to
buy things you don’t need. Buy Nothing groups send a clear message to companies that people
are no longer willing to accept the environmental and human cost of overconsumption.
Are the sentences true or false? Answer A for TRUE and B for FALSE.
A B
1. People buy clothes because they want to throw them away. TRUE FALSE
2. The writer thinks it is worrying that people spend money on TRUE FALSE
things they do not need.
3. The amount the average Briton owes on credit cards is one TRUE FALSE
third of the amount they spend on clothes each year.
4. Only a very small proportion of unwanted clothes are thrown TRUE FALSE
away..
5. Charities can find ways to use clothes even if they are not very TRUE FALSE
good quality.
6. Buy Nothing Day is a protest against credit cards. TRUE FALSE
7. The two friends who did the ‘buy nothing’ experiment only TRUE FALSE
bought food for 12 months.
8. If everyone followed the Buy Nothing idea, the environment TRUE FALSE
would benefit.
