When we were in England last year, I went fishing with my friend, Peter. Early in the morning, we were
sitting quietly by the side of the lake when we had an unpleasant surprise. We saw the duck come along

one of the ducklings was dragged below the surface.
This incident made Peter furious. He vowed to catch the pike. On three successive mornings we
returned to the vicinity and used several different kinds of baits. On the third day Peter was lucky. Using
an artificial frog as bait, he managed to hook the monster. There was a desperate fight but Peter was

Question 1:Read the passage and then choose the best answer a,b,c or d.
What is life like for todays students? As the university and college terms began, I talked to a few

students about their lives. Sarah James is a second year biology student. Money is a big problem., said
Sarah. I can eat quite cheaply at the university, but I spend quite a lot on transport. I also spend quite a
lot on clothes, as I like to wear things that are in fashion. Colin Peter, who is studying engineering,
disagrees. I dont spend anything on clothes., he said unless you count climbing boots, I am very keen
on climbing, and you do need special equipment, some of which is very expensive. Luckily, my parents
gave me money for my birthday in November. Not much of my money goes on transport, because I have
a bicycle. Diana Bell is a first year fashion student. I make all my own clothes. This should save me
money, but in fact, the materials are very expensive. I dont know how I would manage if I didnt sell some
of the dresses and hats I made to the other students. Everything is expensive. she said. That includes
the rent, food, transport, and heating the flat in winter.
Jack is a science student in his final year. What do I spend my money on ? Well, not on clothes, and not
a lot on going out in the evening. My rent is expensive, and I suppose I spend quite a lot on books.

a a students notebook. b
a letter to a friend.
ca magazine article dan advertisement.

4,Colin is different from Sarah because
ahe has generous parents who help him. bhe doesnt need to study very hard.
che is not a second year student. dhis clothes and transport cost less.

What is life like for today’s students? As the university and college terms began, I talked to a few
students about their lives. Sarah James is a second year biology [bai'ɔ lədʒi] sinh vật học student.
”Money is a big problem.”, said Sarah. ”I can eat quite cheaply at the university, but I spend quite a lot on
transport. I also spend quite a lot on clothes, as I like to wear things that are in fashion. ”Colin Peter,
who is studying engineering, disagrees. ”I don’t spend anything on clothes.”, he said ”unless you count
climbing boots, I am very keen on climbing, and you do need special equipment, some of which is very
expensive. Luckily, ”my parents gave me money for my birthday in November. Not much of my money
goes on transport, because I have a bicycle. ”Diana Bell is a first year fashion student. ”I make all my
own clothes. This should save me money, but in fact, the materials are very expensive. I don’t know how
I would manage if I didn’t sell some of the dresses and hats I made to the other students. Everything is
expensive.” she said. ”That includes the rent, food, transport, and heating the flat in winter.”
Jack is a science student in his final year. ”What do I spend my money on ? Well, not on clothes, and
not a lot on going out in the evening. My rent is expensive, and I suppose I spend quite a lot on books.”

One of the features of London is the number of big stores, most of which are to be found in or near the
West End. They are big buildings, many stores are high; in which you may buy almost anything you want,

from a box of matches to a car.
You can spend hours wandering about one of these stores, and you probably will lose your way while
you are doing so, in spite of notices pointing the way to the lifts and entrances. If you have been in the

have cafes, snackbars or restaurants. You can ring up a friend from a telephone box and you may call at
the theatre agency to book a seat for an evening show.
Although the shops usually close at 5.30 or 6 p. m, on Thursday the West End stores and most other
shops there stay open as late as 8 o’clock. A large number of people come to town from London suburbs
