answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions
from 31 to 35.
Britain has always been a mixture of different nationalities and cultures. The
country itself is made up of four nations - England, Scotland, Wales and Northern
Ireland - each with its own cultural heritage. Back in the 17th century, Britain
became a global power and gained an enormous empire. By the 1920s, the
empire was home to 458 million people - a fifth of the world’s population! But
forty years later, most of the colonies had gained their independence, and
immigrants from Britain’s former colonies had begun to arrive in the UK and
contribute to its multicultural society.
The longest-established ethnic minority in Britain is the black Caribbean
population. After the Second World War, there was a labour shortage in the UK
and people from Jamaica and Trinidad, former British colonies, were encouraged
to come and work in Britain. In 1948, five hundred came over on the steamship
Empire Windrush, and throughout the following decade, thousands more arrived.
Another wave of immigration to the UK occurred in the 1960s and 1970s. India
and Pakistan were formerly part of the British Empire, and many people arrived
from those countries. In previous decades, Indians and Pakistanis had also gone
to work in British colonies in Africa. But after those African countries gained
independence, Asians were forced to leave and came to the UK. Asians in Britain

formed a close community and on the whole retained their own customs and
languages. Since the expansion of the European Union in 2004, the UK has seen
more immigrants from continental Europe. Most come to work in Britain and then
return home after a few years, but others have chosen to settle in their new
homeland.

answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions
from 36 to 42.
The line dividing work and leisure time is blurring before our eyes, says one
expert, and a phenomenon called ‘weisure time’ is being created. Many people
who haven’t already given up the nine-to-five working day for the twenty-four
seven life of weisure will probably do so soon, according to sociologist Dalton
Conley, who coined the term. According to Conley, it is no longer clear what is
work and what is fun in an office, at home or out in the street and it is becoming
increasingly difficult to say whether activities and social spaces are more
connected to work or play.
However, there are limits: the merging of work and leisure does not mean,
for example, that bankers are working on complex financial matters during their
children's parties. But it does mean that more and more people are using
smartphones and other new technology to contact business colleagues while
they are with their families or to chat with Facebook friends during an office
meeting.
So, what happened and why do people want to mix work and play? First of all,
according to Conley, there’s more work and less play than there was in the past.
‘For the first time in history, the higher up the economic ladder you go, the more
likely you are to have an extremely long working week,’ he says. Busy people
often want to save time by being involved in business and pleasure
simultaneously.
Although there are clear benefits, what is disturbing is the idea that we will be
changed by weisure. ‘We are losing our so-called private life,’ Conley says.
‘There’s less time to relax if we’re always mixing work and leisure.’ But, if you're

thinking that a backlash may be around the comer for the weisure concept,
you’re right. In fact, according to Conley, it has already begun. It is evident in the
rise of alternative social movements involving people ‘who live in a more
environmentally conscious way,’ he says. But he believes that unless we are sent
back to the Stone Age by a natural disaster of some kind, there’s no turning back
the clock on the spread of weisure.
