TASK 2

Read the text below. For questions (6-10) choose the correct answer (A, B, C or D).

Last days of the rickshaw

Kolkata (previously known as Calcutta) is the famous capital of West Bengal in India and the home of nearly 15 million people. The traffic jams and engine fumes begin early in the morning with long lines of private cars, public buses, taxis, three-wheeled scooters and pedicabs. There aren’t many alternatives. You can catch a train through the city or take the underground but sooner or later you have to go on foot and walking in Kolkata is a dangerous activity. As the drivers race towards pedestrians, they blow their horns. The sound never stops from morning to night.

So when I crossed a small road on my first day in the city, I was surprised because I heard a bell – not a horn. It was a tiny man pulling a rickshaw. He stopped and picked up two children from the front door of their house and then, with great strength, pulled them to school. For many people, the rickshaw is a symbol of Kolkata and they have many advantages. When the traffic is bad, rickshaws find a way through the traffic. If you miss your bus and there aren’t any taxis, you can always find a rickshaw in Kolkata. Rickshaws are also very popular with local shoppers. The driver takes you from your house to the market and waits for you. Then he loads all your purchases, drops you off outside your home and helps you unload. 

You also see lots more people getting on and off rickshaws during the monsoon season. That’s the period from June to September when Kolkata gets heavy rainfall. Sometimes it rains for 48 hours without a break. In the older parts of the city, the roads flood. The water can rise as high as people’s waists in the worst part. When it’s this bad, anything with an engine is useless. But the rickshaw drivers never stop working, even with water all around them.

But not everyone thinks rickshaws are a good thing. Some local officials and politicians want to ban rickshaws on ‘humanitarian grounds’. They believe it is wrong for one man to pull another person when there is modern transport in the city. However, there is a problem with this plan. Many of the rickshaw drivers come from the countryside with no job and no qualifications. The only job they can find in Kolkata is pulling a rickshaw. If the city bans rickshaws, these men won’t have a job or income. So for the moment, the people of Kolkata still go by rickshaw.

       A.   a famous country.

       B.   a busy city.

          A.  in summer.

          B.  in autumn.

          C. when the streets are flooded.

          B. they can live in the countryside.

          C. the government supports them.

          D. they can earn money for living.

TASK 3

Read the texts below. Match choices (A-H) to (11-16). There are two choices you do not need to use.

Here are some ideas to boost your learning – give them a go today!

11

Don’t get discouraged if you aren’t learning English fast enough. It’s quite common to experience highs and lows rather than improving at a steady pace. Keep your goal in sight and work towards it!

12

Some phrasal verbs have more than one meaning, which can make them tricky to learn. When you spot a new phrasal verb, check the meaning in a dictionary and write it down with an example sentence to help you remember how to use it.

13

Try to practise your English as much as possible in your daily life. Listen to English when you are cooking or doing jobs around the home or read something in English on your way to work or school.

14

When you come across new adjectives, note down the nouns they commonly pair up with. A good dictionary will help you. Example:  avant-garde art/cinema/painting (very original or modern)

15

After reading a text in detail, try looking for useful phrases that you would like to remember and underline them. For example, if you have finished reading something to complete some comprehension questions, read it again and underline any new words.

Make sure you read different kinds of text in English. Don’t just stick to one. Read stories, poems, instruction manuals, newspapers, and so on. This will help you widen your vocabulary.

If learning English seems very challenging, break it down into smaller tasks. For example, don’t try to learn lots of new words in one go. Instead, focus on learning a few new words every week. You will be much more likely to remember them!

16

Try keeping a listening diary and log occasions when you listen to English. Note down any problems you experience and how you helped yourself to listen better. Compare recent entries with older entries to see how well you are progressing.

To boost your learning    ---------------------

A. Practise as more as possible

B. Keep your own recordings

C.  Jot down all collocations to remember

D.  Listen to the radio

E.  Set the aim

F.  Read more

G. Check the meaning

H.  Attend language courses

The Masai are an African (23)_____  of about half a million people. Most of them live in the country of Kenya, but they are also nomadic. Groups of Masai also (24)____  in other parts of east Africa, including north Tanzania and they move their animals (cows, sheep and goats) to different areas of the region.

There are many other African tribes but, for many people, the Masai are the most well-known. They are ( 25)_____ for their bright red clothing and their ceremonies that include lots of music and dancing. Probably, one of the most  ceremonies is the festival of ‘Eunoto’. This is a (26)___  of passage when the teenage boys of the Masai become men.

‘Eunoto’ lasts for many days and Masai people travel across the region to get to a special place near the (27)____ between Kenya and Tanzania. The teenage boys who travel with them are called ‘warriors’. This is a traditional name from the past when young men fought with other tribes. Nowadays, these warriors spend most of their time (28)_____ after their cattle.

At the beginning of the ceremony, the teenagers paint their bodies. Meanwhile, their mothers start to build a place called the ‘Osingira’. It is a (29)____  room in the middle of the celebrations. Later, the older men from different tribes will sit inside this place and, at different times, the boys go inside to meet them. Later in the day, the boys run around the ‘Osingira’, going faster and faster each time. It is another important part of the ritual.

The teenagers also have to change their appearance at ‘Eunoto’. Masai boys’ hair is very long before the ritual but they have to cut it off. In Masai culture, hair is an important symbol. For example, when a baby grows into an (30)____ , the mother cuts the child’s hair and gives the child a name. At a Masai wedding, the hair of the (31)____ is also cut off as she becomes a woman. And so, at Eunoto, the teenage boy’s mother cuts his hair off at sunrise.

On the final day, the teenagers meet the senior elders one more time. They get this advice: ‘Now you are men, use your heads and knowledge.’ Then, people start to travel back to their homes and lands. The teenagers are no longer ‘warriors’. They are adult men and now they will get married, have children and buy cattle. Later in life, they will be the leaders of their (32)____.

Temperatures fall  ( 35 )_______–50˚C. Car engines can freeze and even if your car starts, the snow and ice on the road ( 36 )_______ make travel impossible. When the weather is like this, the best way  ( 37 )______ is with a team of huskies pulling you. That’s according to people ( 38 )_______  Geoff Roland who prefer travelling by dog sledge. ‘Huskies might not be as fast as a modern snowmobile but they are better for the environment. The journey is also much quieter than by snowmobile. It’s what makes travel through the wilderness so enjoyable.’

When Geoff was younger he took part in the Iditarod. The word Iditarod originally comes             ( 39 )_____  an old native American word meaning ‘a faraway place’ but nowadays it’s the name of the world’s longest dog sledge race which takes place in Alaska each spring.
