Question 1 Read the text "Living in the Big Apple" and answer the following question:
Complete To most people, New York seems an incredibly exciting place to live. What do New Yorkers
Mark 1.0 out of 1.0 think of their city?
A. THE SINGLE GIRL-Sherrin Bernstein
Living in Manhattan is one big financial struggle for Sherrin Bernstein, a trainee beauty
therapist. She earns enough to pay the bills, but there is little left for luxuries. “I can’t afford
to do expensive things”, she says. But she can have a lot of fun in New York on a Budget. A
good meal in a restaurant costs little, and her favorite hobby is rollerblading in Central Park,
which costs nothing. Apart from a short break in Spain last year, Sherrin has not had a
holiday in ten years. I wish I could go to Italy. It is a fantastic place to go on vacations. She
is paying her way through college and earns money by working as a skating instructor.
Despite the financial drawbacks, she loves New York. “The energy in this city is incredible”.
The worst aspect, according to Sherrin, is pollution and noise. I wish the alarms would not
go off through the night. It’s hard to get a good night’s sleep. The aggressive nature of New
Yorkers also makes her uncomfortable. “People push you out of the way on the subway or
in the street. Sometimes I long for a more peaceful way of life”.
B. THE FAMILY- Mr. and Mrs. Miles and their daughters
Seymour Miles, his wife, Jan, and their two daughters live in a three-bedroom apartment,
which is large by New York standards. Mr. Miles runs his own business and Jan is vice-
president at a bank. The Miles say they are fortunate they can afford to send their
daughters to a private school. “The school has an excellent academic reputation, every
child has a computer. Things like that influenced our decision to invest so much in their
education”. Bringing children up in New York has its benefits and drawbacks. A big
advantage is access to New York’s rich cultural life. The girls go regularly to museums and
art galleries and see all the latest films. “In New York they are exposed to the diversity of
people, they see other cultures and are enriched by that” says Mr. Miles. The disadvantages
is they do not have the freedom to go out in the street and play. “We wish they could play 
safely in the streets. Everything has to be supervised.” The Miles say New York is becoming
more expensive and dangerous to live in, so many people are leaving and moving out to the 
suburbs.
C. THE COUPLE- Mr and Mrs Rochford 
A few years ago, Jeff Rochford considered moving out of New York, “where he’s lived in all
his life. “Crime was out of control, the economy was in mess. It was becoming a dangerous
place to live. But the clampdown on crime has improved the city tremendously”. Mr.
Rochford and his wife, Verda, live in a tiny one-bedroom apartment. Although it is expensive
to live in Manhattan, Mr. Rochford says he feeds off the city’s energy and would not live
anywhere else. “Here we’ve got everything at our fingertips. Anything you want is available
24 hours a day. “Mrs. Rochford, however, who grew up on a farm in the country, says she
has a “love-hate” relationship with New York. “I hate that feeling of being closed in. We wish
we could buy a bigger house”, she says. “We’re trying to save up for a bigger home”.
D. THE HOMELESS PERSON- Gerry Brown
Begging for coins on Fifth Avenue, Gerry Brown doesn’t display an ounce of self-pity. “A lot
of wealthy people live here and good luck to them. I know a lot of them and they give me
money because they like me”. Gerry, 44, has been unemployed for five years. He stays at a
friend’s house and comes into the city center every day. “I do odd jobs”. He gets financial
support and food stamps each month from the State. The rest of the time he earns money
by going through rubbish bins and picking out cans and bottles for recycling. “I find stuff, like
 televisions and radios and sell them”, he says. He is experienced enough to know to look
after himself. “I know where to get a free shower. I know where to get food – the
supermarkets, the restaurants – they all give it away.”

Question 4 Read the text "Gateway to the Global Village" and answer the following question:
Complete Britain’s capital is a treasure trove of foreign culture. People from all over the world live in
Mark 0.0 out of 1.0 London and the result is a thrilling multiculturalism: cafés, restaurants, shops and markets
offer you the world on your doorstep. Come and meet people who are…
A. Indian
After the Irish, the Indian community is the second largest in London. The first Indians
arrived in 1597 and more came after the founding of the East India trading company in the
seventeenth century. Numbers increased when India became independent in 1947 but the
community really took off in the 1950s and 1960s with employment opportunities around
Heathrow airport. Although “Little Indians” exist all over London, the most striking is the
district of Southhall in West London, not far from the airport. Here Indian foodstalls and
video shops are everywhere, spicy aromas fill the air, and women stroll around wearing the
typical colourful sari, just as in India. In McDonald’s, the piped music is refreshingly Indian.
B. Portuguese
The supermarkets and shops in Lambeth and Stockwell Roads are the most obvious
indication that you are in “Little Portugal”, but there is much more to this community than
that. Over 20,000 Portuguese live south of the River Thames. The majority have come from
the island of Madeira rather than from the mainland of Portugal. This close-knit community
is mad about football and folk-dancing and holds its own carnival every February. It’s a
community that is determined to hold on to its traditions and it’s a great place to experience
Madeiran culture.
C. Caribbean
When the ship Emperor Windrush docked in 1948 with its 500 immigrants, it marked the
start of the main period of Caribbean immigration, stimulated by British economic
expansion. Since then, over 300,000 have established vibrant communities all around
London. The greatest Caribbean celebration is the Notting Hill Carnival, now Europe’s

largest street party, which takes place every August. However, Brixton, in South London, is
the hub of the community. As you step out of the Underground station into Brixton Market,

your senses are stimulated by the noise, the bright colors and the rhythmic sound of
Caribbean music. This is one of the best places to shop for food in London. However, the
area has become a very popular place to live and prices are rising. 

D. Japanese
Finchley and Hendon in North London are the principal centers for Japanese people. The
national affection for golf has had a noticeable effect on these areas – if you drive up
Finchley Road, you have an almost unlimited choice of golf shops and courses. Other than
this, there is little evidence of a community. Although there are restaurants and food stores
here, most socializing takes place at home. It isn’t as permanent as other communities,
either – many Japanese arrive on five-year contracts in the banking and technology sectors
and then return home afterwards. The best restaurants tend to be in central London, where
most of the community works.
E. Polish
The Polish community isn’t as distinct as some other ethnic communities in London. Andrzej
Morawicz, President of a well-known Polish club, puts this down to integration. “When you
are a large enough community, it’s easy to hold on to your culture and customs. In
comparison, the Polish community has become part of British society to a large extent, so
keeping up traditions isn’t so easy”. All the same, you can hear Polish conversations along
King Street in Hammmersmith, West London, where newsagents’ windows are full of
 advertisements in Polish for the benefit of the local community. There are also plenty of
clubs, restaurants and food shops that help to keep traditions alive. There is even a daily
Polish-language newspaper, Dziennik Polski.
