As you will see from my curriculum vitae, I have attended university, where I
studied English and Law. After finishing my course, I took a job in a travel agency
in Paris and now I organise few hours for people who wanting to go to Australia and
the United States. Although I enjoy this very much, I feel I need to get more

experience and it would seems to me that working as a specialised tour guide in
England would help me for do that. I would rather work in an English-speaking
country, as I need to practise my English. I spend one year at London University,
which it was most useful. I did much conversation classes and at first I thought that
I would find them difficult. However, they turned out to be very enjoyable. I will
have no any difficulty in coming to England for an interview if you will let me
know in plenty of the time. I enclose details of my present employer who will be too
pleased to send you a reference.

Question III: Read the following passage and choose the correct answer by writing the 
letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet.

Before the mid-nineteenth century, people in the United States ate most foods only in 
season. Drying, smoking, and salting could preserve meat for a short time, but the availability 
of fresh meat, like that of fresh milk, was very limited; there was no way to prevent spoilage. 
But in 1810, a French inventor named Nicolas Appert developed the cooking-and-sealing
process of canning. And in the 1850s, an American named Gail Borden developed a means of
condensing and preserving milk. Canned goods and condensed milk became more common
during the 1860s, but supplies remained low because cans had to be made by hand. By 1880,
however, inventors had fashioned stamping and soldering machines that mass-produced cans
from tinplate. Suddenly all kinds of food could be preserved and bought at all times of the
year.

Other trends and inventions had also helped make it possible for Americans to vary their
daily diets. Growing urban populations created demand that encouraged fruit and vegetable

farmers to raise more productivity. Railroad refrigerator cars enabled growers and meat
packers to ship perishables great distances and to preserve them for longer periods. Thus, by 
the 1890s, northern city dwellers could enjoy southern and western strawberries, grapes, and
tomatoes, previously available for a month at most, for up to six months of the year. In
addition, increased use of iceboxes enabled families to store perishables. An easy means of
producing ice commercially had been invented in the 1870s, and by 1900, the nation had more
than two thousand commercial ice plants, most of which made home deliveries. The icebox
became a fixture in most homes and remained so until the mechanized refrigerator replaced it 
in the 1920s and 1930s.
