My aunt is one of those people who. can talk to anyone about anything. If she goes to a party
where she doesn't know any of the people, she just walks up to the first person that she sees and
introduces herself. And yet she doesn't seem to talk about deeply important things like politics or
religion. She always starts off with something very obvious like the other person's job. Very soon
she's talking as if she's known the other person for years. 1 asked her once what her secret was. She
said that the most important thing in a conversation was listening. People love to talk about
themselves, so if you allow them to do so, it's very easy to keep a conversation going. You have to
listen very carefully and ask questions. And you have to look interested, too. So don't keep looking
at other things in the room while you're talking to someone.

hair. Which hairdresser do you go to?' or 'You look very well. Have you. been on holiday?' Friendly

I've always been a bit of an entertainer and played the funny man.

I was a part-time comedian for years, so I learned how to stand in front of audiences. It made me
sure of myself. I like being liked and I love making everyone smile.

I've lived in London all my life and have just moved to a larger house with my wife Clare and
our two children, Jimmy and Madeleine. We spend a lot of time just singing and dancing around the
house. I grew up with music because my dad is the pianist, Chester Harriott - who's still playing, by
the way. My working day is divided between television and writing cook books, though TV takes
most of my time. I spend about five days a fortnight working on the cooking programmes I appear
in. I eat all sorts of things at home but I only buy quality food. When I'm cooking, I experiment with
whatever is in the fridge - it's good practice for my TV series.

I'm a football fan and enjoy going to matches, but I'm a homeloving person really. I don't like
going to the pub but we do go out to eat about twice a month. There's nothing better than a night at
home playing with the children. I rarely go to bed before midnight. Late evening is when fresh
thoughts on cooking usually come to me, so I often write and plan my programmes then. When I
eventually get to bed, I have no trouble sleeping!

41. What is the writer's main purpose in writing the text?

</div>
(19)<div class='page_container' data-page=19>

C. to talk about his cooking ideas D. to explain how he started in TV

In 1988, for the first time in British history, a National Curriculum was introduced. The
National Curriculum tells pupils which subjects they have to study, what they must learn and when
they have to take assessment tests.

Between the ages of 14 and 16, pupils study for their GCSE (General Certificate of Secondary
Education) exams. Pupils must take English Language, Maths and Science for GCSE, as well as a
half GCSE in a foreign language and Technology. In addition, they must also be taught Physical
Education, Religious Education and Sex Education, although they do not take exams in these
subjects.

At the age of 16, pupils can leave school. If pupils stay on, they usually. take A (Advanced)
levels, AS (Advanced Supplementary) level or GNVQs (Greater National Vocational
Qualifications). It is quite common to combine, for example, two A levels with one AS level, or one
A level with one GNVQ.

Pupils taking A levels study traditional subjects, such as French, Physics or History. To go to
university, pupils usually need two or three A levels.

AS levels are the same standard as A levels, but only half of the content: AS level German pupils
take the A-level German language exam, but do not take the A-level German Literature exam.

GNVQs are vocational qualifications. Pupils usually take on GNVQ in subjects such as
Business, Leisure and Tourism, Manufacturing, and Art and Design. One GVNQ (at advanced level)
is equal to two A levels.
