PART D: SPEAKING
There are 4 seasons in a year in my country. Each season has its own charm. For me, I

like summer best. Below are some reasons for my preference.
First, summer is the time when I've long holidays. When summer comes, I am free from
my studies and I can rest/relax after busy work days (= after days of hard work).
Secondly, summer is the season of fruit. How delightful it is to go for a picnic in the
countryside on summer holidays and enjoy delicious fruits such as: mangoes, grapefruits,
durians, rambutans, mangosteens and so on.
Finally, I like summer best because my birthday falls on August, 13rd. This is an
occasion for me to hold a birthday party so that I can have a good time with my friends.

leave my house for school at 6.30. It takes me 15 minutes to go from my house to my

PART B: READING
I.

Read the passage and do the task that follows.

A recent survey has shown that the busiest shopping street in the world is not in London.
New York, or Paris, but in Warsaw, Poland. Nowy Swiat, which means New World, has

an incredible 14,000 Poles walking down it every hour. It's a lovely place to shop. The
pavements are very wide. There are statues, palaces, attractive town houses and highclass restaurants. The buildings are not too high. They look old, but in fact the whole city
was rebuilt after World War II.
There aren't any billboards or neon lights. There isn't any loud music, and there aren't
many tourists. People think that Polish shops have nothing to sell, so nobody comes
shopping here. The world does not know about this paradise for shoppers yet.
It is now possible to buy almost everything in Warsaw. There are a lot of Western shops
but the interesting thing is that Polish manufacturers are also now producing high quality
goods themselves because the products are not mass produced for world consumption.
Nowy Swiat has a lot of small, specialty, and chic shops. It hasn't got the huge
department stores that sell the same products everywhere.
