Transcript 1
A (Girl)
She lives next door and she’s always been really important in my life. When we were little
and my mum was working she used to look after us. She would tell us stories about her childhood.
It was like listening to fairy stories; life was so different when she was a child. In her kitchen she
used to keep a special dish with sweets for us, and she baked cakes and pies. Now she doesn’t bake
so much. She’s started to eat more healthy food in her old age, salads and vegetables and things. It’s
funny how she’s changed. She also goes to this special gym class for old people, it’s amazing. I
don’t see her often now, but she’s sti ll the same person, even though her lifestyle has changed.
B (Boy)
He’s four years older than me and that seemed like a huge amount when we were children.
When we were at the same school we’d never talk to each other during school hours. But now when
we’re older it’s a lot better, although I’ll always be the little one, and that’s annoying sometimes.
He’s taken me to rock concerts that I wouldn’t have gone to otherwise and when he was at
university I went to stay with him sometimes. That was really cool. It was great to see what real
student life was like when I was still at school. Now that he’s working he’s really busy, but we still
hang out sometimes. We go to football matches together because we both support our home team.
It’s always good to see him.
C (Girl)
We’ve known each other since we were five and we’ve always got on really well. Well,
apart from that time when we fell out because we both liked the same boy. But he went off with
Heather Jenkins, so we made friends again quite quickly! We both like the same kind of music and
going dancing at the weekend, and when we were younger we went out on our bikes together. At
school we’re good at different things. I’m good at languages and Laura’s good at Maths. That’s
good though – it means that we can help each other with our homework. Next year I’m probably
going to study in London and she’s going to Manchester, but I’m sure our relationship won’t
change.
D (Boy)
His family moved in just a few houses down from us when I was about ten, and I still
remember how excited I felt when I found out that there was another boy on the street was. I’d been
the only boy, you see. The others were all girls. We were good friends from the beginning because
we were into the same things: computers and football, mostly. But we had quite a few of the same
hobbies for a while. I remember making lots of models of aeroplanes one year. Another year we
took up fishing. We had all the equipment and everything and we’d spend ages down by the river. I
don’t go fishing anymore. His family moved away a couple of years ago. We’re still friends on
Facebook but we don’t really have much contact.
E (Girl)
I can remember all the details of when we met. I was wearing a red dress and I’d just had my
hair cut. I can even remember what music was playing the first time I saw him. I knew he was
special from the beginning, and I was right. We’ve been together ever since. Well, it’s only been
eighteen months, and some people say that isn’t very long, but it seems like ages to me. We’ve got
such similar personalities and so much in common. I’m sure we’ll stay together forever.

Reading
Task 1. Read the text carefully. Select if the statements are TRUE or FALSE, put a tick in an
appropriate column and EXPLAIN your choice.
№ Statements True False Explanation
1. The British Prime Minister
goes shopping to M&S.
2. Michael Marks sold things
at a very high price.
3. India takes the leading
position in having M&S
stores.
4. If M&S employees have
health problems, they can consult medical specialists

Britain’s favourite store
Marks & Spencer is Britain’s favourite store in London.
It attracts a great variety of customers. The Duchess of York and the British Prime Minister are just a few of its famous
customers. Last year it made a profit of £929 million, which is more than £18 million a week.
It all started 122 years ago, when a young Polish
immigrant, Michael Marks, had a stall in Leeds market. He
did not have many things to sell: some cotton, a little wool, many buttons and a few shoelaces. Above his stall he put the now famous notice: DON’T ASK HOW MUCH – IT IS A PENNY. For
many years, the philosophy of M&S didn’t change – to sell goods at a moderate price.
9
Ten years later, he met Tom Spencer and together they started Penny Stalls in many towns
of England. Today there are over 1300 branches of M&S all over the world – in Britain,
America, Canada, Spain, France, Belgium, Egypt, Russia, Greece, Finland and Hungary.
Britain has the majority of the company’s stores, 852 stores open their doors for all sorts of
customers daily. India takes the leading position among the international stores with 52 stores
there.
The store bases its business on three principles: good value, good quality and good service.
In addition, it changes with the times – once it was all jumpers and knickers. Now it is food,
furniture and flowers as well.
The most important key to its success is its happy staff. Conditions of work are excellent.
There are company doctors, dentists and hairdressers to look after the staff and all the staff can
have lunch for under 40 pence!

Example of the essay
My name is Aidar. I always wake up at 7 o’clock in the morning then I wash my face and brush my teeth. After that, I do some exercises then I put my clothes on and prepare my school bag. Next, I have my breakfast and read a book. At 8 o’clock I go to school and start my classes at school. At school I always sit in the first bench and listen to what my teachers say. I take down the important notes. Then I take part in indoor and outdoor games. After that, I often take my lunch
break and talk with my friends.
Our school breaks up at 2 p.m. Then I come back to my home straight. After taking a little
rest, I go to the playground. I play football with my classmates.
At around 6 p.m. I go back home and take a rest. Next, I usually watch some TV and chat with
my family then I do my homework and help my mother in the house. At 9 o’clock I read a book
and go to sleep.

Duration 20 minutes
Reading
Task 1. Read the text.
Smartphones: Texting, playing games and ... helping patients
1. Doctors say smartphones can help patien ts find out if they are sick and treat illnesses. New
apps use smartphone features to help people who may be sick. Some apps use the phone's
camera. Others use the microphone.
2. Shwetek Patel is a computer scientist. Patel says smartphones are becoming medical tools.
They already do some of the things doctors' tools can do. Smartphones count how many steps you take. They can track what you eat. They can even count your heartbeats. Now smartphones can find illnesses, too.
3. For example, one smartphone app checks for asthma. People with asthma have trouble
breathing. The app can tell if someone is not breathing well. It uses the phone's microphone. The person breathes into the microphone. Then the app gives a result.
4. Another app can say if someone has a blood problem. It can tell if there is enough
hemoglobin in the blood. The app uses the phone's camera. First, a person puts one finger over the flash. They take a picture. The app reads the picture. It says how much hemoglobin is in the person's blood!
5. These apps are good for patients, Patel says. They help people care for themselves. They can
19
learn about their health from home.
6. This is useful in poorer countries. In many places, health care is limited. It is not easy to get
to a doctor. Some people cannot afford a doctor's visit. Others cannot travel far to see a doctor.
Smartphones can help. They make it easier to stay healthy without going to the doctor. This
saves time. It can also save money.
1. Select the sentence that BEST explains how smartphones can help people with diabetes stay
healthy (What the text says).
A) Smartphones can help them keep track of everything they eat.
B) Smartphones can help keep track of the hemoglobin in the body.
C) Smartphones can track your steps each day.
D) Smartphones help people stay informed about their disease.
2. Select the paragraph that suggests people can save money with healthcare apps (What the

Ana: Hey, Michael. I heard your mom is a zoologist . What is it exactly?
Mike: A zoologist. Well, that's true. She is a zoologist. So a zoologist is someone who
studies animals.
Ana: Oh, interesting. So does she study all animals or does she focus on a specific animal?
Mike: Well, she's worked at universities studying animals for a long time. So she's worked
on many different kinds of animals. But at the moment, she is studying South African tortoises.
Ana: Oh, interesting. Do you have any tortoises in your house?
Mike: Yeah. Actually, we have more than 40 tortoises in our garden.
Ana: More than 40. Wow.
Mike: Yes. People are always very surprised when they visit and they see all our tortoises.
Ana: So, do you know a lot about tortoises as well?
Mike: I don't know very much about them but I mean, my mom has always got them around
at the house or she's often busy with some sort of tortoise's related activity. And so sometimes, as a
high school kid, I got home and she would have a tortoise. It is a pregnant tortoise, a female tortoise
with eggs inside. And in order to monitor these eggs, she would have it in a bath of water with an
ultrasound scanner and a screen up on the dining room table.
Ana: Wow. That is really interesting.
Mike: I had a very interesting childhood with all of these animals and things around the
house.
Ana: Oh, that's great. Did you have any other pets?
Mike: Yes. We've always had a couple of dogs and I like cats. So I've got my pet cat at
home.
Ana: Wow. That's really interesting.

Duration 20 minutes
Reading
Task 1. Read the text and answer the questions .
Travel is something that people do every day. It is very difficult to avoid the need to
travel. It may be a trip to school, university or to work. Travelling can often take a long time,
especially when great distances need to be covered. People often enjoy travelling abroad for
holidays. However, for some people travelling is not fun at all. Some people suffer from travel
sickness. This means that they will become unwell each time they travel.
Travelling can be either affordable or costly. It often depends on how far you want to
travel and the choice of transport. Using a bicycle will not cost anything as you power it by using your legs. However, the use of a bicycle can be hard work and can take a lot of time to travel long distances. Cars and motorcycles are faster modes of transport, but are more expensive to use as gasoline is needed for them to work. It can usually be assumed that the longer you wish to travel, the more expensive and time consuming it will be.
The use of a plane is necessary for people wanting to travel very long distances. A pilot
will fly a plane from an airport for many thousands of miles to take people to places far away. Although traffic is rarely a problem for airplanes, it can take a lot of preparation to travel by
plane. People often need to arrive at the airport three hours prior to departure.
A train is another mode of transport which is ideal for travelling long distances within the
same country, or between countries which are connected by land. A train driver will stop at train
stations on route to allow passengers wishing to proceed to the scheduled destination to board the
train.
28
A number of destinations can be travelled by using the sea. People often depart from a
harbour in a ferry which is driven by a captain. If the journey is a long distance, people may
choose to sleep on the ferry while they wait to arrive at their destination. Some people choose to
go on a cruise for their holiday, which would involve stopping at many different city ports for a
short amount of time. People who need to travel short distances may choose not to use any
transport at all. People often rely on their legs to take them to places nearby and they walk. This is often encouraged as certain modes of transport have been said to produce harmful emissions and damage the environment.
1. Which mode of transport does not cost money?
2. Why do some people not enjoy travelling?
3. Which mode of transport is ideal for travelling between countries connected by land?
Writing
Task 2. Write about the most exciting experience of travelling that you had.
You should:
• use Present Perfect Simple to share your experience;
• link your ideas into paragraphs with three/four basic connectors;
• punctuate your work correctly.
