C. READING
I. Read the text and the questions below.
For each question, mark the correct letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet.
THE CAR
Let me tell you about a young boy who made a model car all on his own. The boy is me, six years ago
when I was just 11 and the car was small and simple but in my imagination it was a high-speed, Formula 1
racing car, speeding along the race track.
It was during the school summer holidays and workmen were building a new drive and garage beside our
house. While watching the workmen I had an idea. I'd build a car to drive into the garage in celebration of
the new addition to our home. I told my mother and drew up complicated plans but I couldn't find the right
materials, so I gave up and spent a miserable couple of days doing nothing. My mother noticed that I'd
stopped working and asked me why. I explained and she suggested that maybe I should change my plans
to fit the materials I did have, rather than give up.
And that's just what I did. I found small pieces of wood in my father's workshop and made my car from
anything that was lying around the house. When I found a small engine from an old model plane of mine I
added that. The power came from a battery attached with some wire I found in a cupboard.
By the time the garage was finished, so was my car. I called my family together outside the house,
connected the wires, started the engine and placed the car on the driveway. It was fast and I had to run to
the garage to rescue it before it crashed into the new door. My family began to clap and I smiled proudly.
Thanks to my mother I learned the value of seeing a project through to its end. Soon I was making plans for
my next project: a helicopter!

55. How did the writer feel about the first car he planned?
A. sad that he was unable to find suitable things to build the car with
B. annoyed that his father wouldn’t let him borrow any materials
C. frustrated by how much time he’d wasted on the project

TEEN WRITERS ON TV HIT CATCH

Dan Finelli is a normal teenager from north London; he goes to school, enjoys hanging out with his mates
and only occasionally misses his classes. But Dan also happens to be a writer for the popular teen drama,
Catch. The second series starts this week and the one-hour episode that Dan wrote, his very first for the
show, will be on screen later in the year. This will make him one of the youngest writers of a peak-lime
drama ever.
“What's great about Catch is that the characters are exactly like the people around you,” says Dan, who
also plays the part of Computer Chris in the show. “When I'm at school and one of my friends says
TRUNG TÂM NGOẠI NGỮ NQ EDUCATION
25N7A & 27N7A dãy 2 đường Nguyễn Thị Thập, Thanh Xuân, Hà Nội – 0964 177 322 5
something funny I write it down in my notebook and use it later in the script. I never tell them I'm doing it. I
just want it to sound as real as possible,” Dan adds.
Catch is about the lives of a group of 16-18-year-olds in a sixth-form college. The school doesn't really
exist, but the whole show does feel very true to life. There's an episode every week and each one
concentrates on an individual member of the group and tells his or her story.
The idea for the programme came from an unusual source, a father-and-son pair of writers, Ken Thomas
and his son, Callum. They took their idea to a TV company and were very surprised when the company
said they were keen to make it. Now, Ken and Callum are central members of the writing team but in order
to build that team, Ken had to go to theatre companies and writing groups all over London to find both
writers and teens to advise on the stories.
One writer he approached to join the team for the second series was Lizzie Wise. She had never heard of
Catch when Ken first invited her to write. But Ken thought she would be right for the show because he'd
read one of her plays and thought she was a very strong writer. Lizzie is only nineteen but has lots of
valuable theatre experience. She says, “I've watched much more TV than I've ever watched plays, so it
wasn't difficult for me to change to TV writing. What's most challenging on Catch is the number of scenes in
which there's hardly any talking and where the story's told through the looks the characters give each other
and their body language only. These scenes take a long time to get right but they look great on the screen.”

B. LISTENING

correct, choose the letter B for NO.
