<b>How To Improve English Speaking Skills</b>
Many students learn English grammar very well (<b>11</b>)_______cannot actually have a
conversation with native speakers. Here are a few tips for improving English speaking skills.
First of all, it is important to find native speakers to (<b>12</b>)_______with. Recording is
also a great way to get the maximum benefit from a conversation with a native speaker.
When you listen again, you can notice what you need to improve.
Another way is to watch movies or TV in English, with subtitles if you need them,
and watch the same programs over and over. (<b>13</b>)_______people find that they understand
more each time. Listening to music in English and singing (<b>14</b>)_______can also help you a
lot.
Reading out loud or talking to yourself is also a great way to practice speaking when
there are no conversation partners available. Practicing alone is a low-pressure way to
practice, since (<b>15</b>)_______will hear your mistakes.

<i><b>Read the passage below carefully and choose the best option A, B, C or D.</b></i>
The start of every New Year is when we make plans to change our life for the better
over the forthcoming twelve months. Psychiatry professor Jayashri Kulkarni says, “January
1st is a ‘magical’ date and a vow made on this day is much more powerful than one made on
June 1st<sub>, for example.” So, we make a list of things to quit, start or change. Unfortunately, </sub>
most of these promises are, more often than not, broken by January 31st<sub>. They are usually the </sub>
identical <b>resolutions</b> that were not fulfilled from the previous year, and the years prior to
that.
Researches show 45 percent of us make a New Year’s resolution. The most common
vows include losing weight, volunteering to help others, quitting smoking, saving money, and
getting fit. Others include eating healthier food, drinking less alcohol, and going on overseas
trips. However, researches also show that most of us are not so good at sticking to <b>these</b>. A
study from the University of Scranton reveals that 71 percent of us stick to our <b>annual</b>
promises for the first two weeks; six months later, less than 50 percent are still on track to
keep their resolutions. Most people who give up on their resolutions do so because of a lack
of willpower and the use of the ‘escape clause’ that they will ‘try again next year’.

them until they hatched. Then, she had to fly off and look for food. She asked Sloth to keep
an eye on her babies. Sloth was too lazy to even answer. “You are good for nothing,” said the

<b>Part I:</b>
1. I couldn’t live without my mobile phone.
I've had this phone for about six months
now and I use it to organise my social life,
I’m always sending texts and calling people
when I'm out and about. I'd be really lost
without it.
2. One thing I couldn't live without is my
alarm clock. I've had it for about twelve
years now and it was given to me by friends
at university because I just couldn't get up in
the morning. Um... it's battery-operated and
It’s actually in the shape of a soldier and he
has a helmet and to turn the alarm off. you
have to press down his helmet which I think
is fantastic.
3. One thing I'd hate to be without is my
guitar. I have had it for over twenty years,
and I play it most days and sometimes when
I go on holiday I don’t take it with me and
after about two days I’m wishing I had. It’s
old, but it’s got a really good sound... and I
love it.
4. One thing I hate to be without is my
computer. I don’t remember what life was
like before. I use the internet quite a lot and
I e-mail friends and family and I don’t know
if I could write a letter and communicate
with them without e-mail.
5. One thing I’d hate to be without is my
ring. It was given to me by my dad as a
birthday present when I was around thirteen
years old and um... I don’t think I’ve
actually taken it off since. It’s made of
silver and it has a heart in the middle of it
and two hands which are kind of holding the
heart.
<b>Part 2:</b>
A: Now, I know you're all here to study TV
electronics. But first, before we learn how
TVs work and how to fix them, let's first
have a look at the history of television. All
right? So, when do you think TV was
invented?
B: I guess it was some time in the 1960s?
A: Actually, the history of television goes
back to the 1920s when a Scottish engineer
called Win Baird developed a system for
demonstration of TV in 1926.
B: 1926? That's amazing. Was it in color?
A: No, in black and white, of course. So
when do you think color started appearing?
C: It was probably around 1980.
A: Oh, much earlier than that, actually.
Color TV was first developed in 1940 by
Peter Goldmark, and by 1966, America had
its first all color TV channel. And speaking
of TV channels. When do you think cable
was first developed?
D: I think it was around 1960.
A: Again, much earlier. Cable TV was
developed in 1948, at first for people who
lived in remote areas and had difficulty
receiving TV signals. Yes? Another
question?
