Question 1 Read the text "Are you in love?" and choose the best well-structured sentence:
Complete You think you are falling in love. You are really attracted to a certain person. But this
1.0 points out of happened before and it was just a “crush”. How can you tell if it’s real this time? Here is
1.0 what our readers said:
If you are in love…
You will find yourself talking to or telephoning the person for no reason. (You might pretend
there’s a reason but often there is not).
You will find yourself bringing this person into every conversation. (“When I was in Mexico -,
“a friend begins. You interrupt with, “my boyfriend made a great Mexican dinner last week”).
You might suddenly be interested in things you used to avoid. (“When a woman asks me to
tell her all about football, I know she is fallen in love,”) said a TV sports announcer.
Ok, so you’ve fallen in love. But falling in love is one thing, and staying in love is another
thing. How can you tell, as time passes, that you are still in love? If you stay in love, your
relationship will change. You might not talk as much about the person you are in love with.
You might not always call him or her so often. But this person will nevertheless become
more and more important in your life.
You’ll find that you can be yourself with this person. When you first fell in love, you were
probably afraid to admit certain things about yourself. But now you can be totally honest.
You can trust him or her to accept you as you are. Falling in love is great – staying in love is
even better!

Question 8 Read the text "The Simple Life" and answer the following question:
Complete Five people talk about how they have cleared the clutter from their lives and are now living
1.0 points out of in style with relatively few possessions.
1.0 A. Toby Thomson
I’m a perfectionist and this is reflected in my apartment. I used to live in a small flat that was
quite cluttered with lots of possessions scattered all over the place. By contrast, my present
place is wonderfully empty and spacious. The rooms are all painted white and when you’re
inside them, you feel great because you get maximum use of the natural daylight. I have no
pictures on the walls. As an architect, I work with drawings all day and I don’t want to look at
them in the evening. Everything in the apartment has to be just right. I take ages choosing
each piece of furniture or lamp because I think it through carefully and know exactly what
I’m after.
B. Melanie Martin
Having a simple orderly wardrobe makes life less complicated. These days I am much more
careful about clothes that I used to be. I buy one well-made piece of clothing that I’m going
to love and cherish, rather than several inexpensive items which will son wear out. I’ve
refined my wardrobe down to a couple of well-known labels and I take a lot of care
whenever I buy something to make sure it’s right for me. A few years ago, I would just take
clothes off the rails without really thinking about whether they’d suit me. Inevitably, some of
them would get thrown away unworn. Having fewer clothes means you know exactly what
goes with what. When I get dressed in the morning I don’t spend half an hour rummaging
through stuff trying to figure out what will look right.
C. Annabella Bevan
My flat is uncluttered, I have wooden floors and only a few pieces of furniture, but I have
chosen what I own with care. But If I go off something, I won’t hesitate to throw it out
because, for me, things have to be right. I work from home and I’m setting up my own
company to sell things on the Internet, but I’d like to work in a soothing, relaxing
environment. Having an orderly home and wardrobe helps me to cope with the frantic
lifestyle people around me lead in London. It sounds strange, but when I switch on my
computer here, I feel a lot calmer than I would in an office. Of course, the look of things
does come into it too, but I think if you keep your clothes and possessions tidy, it can
improve your mood.
D. Graham Knight
The design of my flat is not a fashion statement. It’s meant to be modern and contemporary,
but I did it because I like it, not because it’s the current trend. It’s very much my space
because I designed the interior myself. It’s very sparse, but very homely. It’s also very
functional. I love cooking and the focal point of the flat is the Steel worktop in the kitchen
area. There’s no dining table, so I both cook and eat on the worktop. I’m always having
people round for dinner and they seem to like the informality of it. In the living room, there
are two cream sofas and a black side table. I don’t feel the need for anything else because
I’m not a very materialistic person really.
Who finds it easy to get rid of things which are no longer pleasing?
Select one:
a. Melanie Martin.
b. Graham Knight.

c. Annabella Bevan.
d. Toby Thomson.
