1 John  

We often travel by plane but we don’t use budget airlines, even though they are cheaper and often fly to the places we want to go. I’d rather pay more for a bit more comfort. Last Christmas, we wanted to spend the holidays with family and friends and we had a change of flight in Frankfurt, Germany. The time between flights was forty-five minutes and we soon realised that we weren’t going to make it. The airline was good to us and the other passengers and gave us food and a comfortable hotel to sleep in. We got a flight the next morning but, unfortunately, it meant that we missed a big family party. I thought I’d been clever and found a quick way to get to Canada but I was very wrong. Now I know that I need to leave at least two hours between flights if I want to be safe. That’s much better than missing a flight or arriving without your luggage.

We decided to travel across Europe by train. Train travel always looks so romantic in films. I imagined leisurely meals in the dining car, meeting exotic people, followed by a comfortable night’s sleep. Things started to go wrong before we had even left. The security and check-in for the train from London was just like at an airport except that the queues were longer. Then, when we got to Brussels, we found that our night train was three hours late and there was nowhere to leave our bags. After a very long and not very good meal at the station, it was finally time to get on the night train. It was OK but the compartment was too hot and when we opened the window, it was too noisy to sleep. The beds were hard and there was no dining car so everyone went straight to their own compartments and didn’t socialise at all. It wasn’t quite as I had imagined it!

We wanted to go to England but weren’t sure how to travel. We live a long way from an airport and, anyway, none of us like flying. If we went by train, we would have to change three times. In the end, we went by coach. It left our home town at five o’clock in the afternoon, as planned, and arrived in London, exactly on time, twenty-two hours later. I wasn’t expecting to sleep well and it wasn’t as comfortable as a bed but it was better than I had imagined. The bus stopped every four hours for a rest and we all got out. Everyone was very friendly and chatted and the atmosphere was almost like a party. Then, at about eleven o’clock, it all went quiet as people tried to sleep. When I got out in London, half asleep but happy, I felt as if I was saying goodbye to old friends. I’m now planning on doing more travelling by coach.

Task 2.  Read the text. For questions 1-5, choose the correct answer, A, B, C or D.  (2,5)

 What do you know about missing sun? Pollution in many of the world’s cities is becoming a major health problem. One of the worst affected is Beijing, the capital of China. Air quality was dangerously low on fifty-eight days last year. The winter months are especially bad. This is the time of year when more coal is burned to heat people’s homes. There is also less wind to blow the smog away. At this time of year, pollution levels are sometimes twenty times higher than the WHO (World Health Organization) considers safe. This causes illnesses and on the worst days old people and children are advised to stay indoors. Visibility is sometimes so bad that motorways have to close because of the danger of accidents.

In early 2014, some newspapers and websites showed a frightening vision of the future. On a smoggy morning, residents of Beijing watched the sunrise. However, as the real one was hidden, they had to do this on giant TV screens. The smog was so thick that the real sunrise was completely invisible. While this might seem shocking, the film of the sunrise was nothing unusual. The screens show adverts all the time. The one that the people were watching that morning was for a holiday company. The same advert is shown quite often, whatever the weather. Either the photographer was lucky or he knew exactly how the image would look and waited until he got the photo he wanted. Although the news reporting was inaccurate, it might have done something to raise awareness of how bad the problem has become. Politicians, too, have finally decided that something must be done to reduce pollution levels.

The first idea is to reduce the amount of coal that people use. Factories will also be moved to areas further away from cities. Another target is older, more polluting cars. The worst offenders will be banned. In their place, greener and cleaner forms of transport will be encouraged.

Will these changes help? The Chinese know from experience that it is possible to improve air quality very quickly if necessary. Before the 2008 Olympic Games, pollution in Beijing was reduced greatly. As well as reducing traffic levels and closing factories, other methods to reduce pollution were used. These included pouring water onto roads to reduce the amount of dust flying in the air. To help with this, scientists were even able to make clouds drop more rain. Since then, things have got worse rather than better but, at last, the government seems to be determined to do something about the problem. For the people of Beijing and other large cities this will make a huge difference to their lives.

3 The photograph

A  shows how people plan holidays in Beijing.

A Increase the number of cycle lanes in the city

B  Stop people from using coal to heat their houses

C  Build new, greener factories to replace the old ones

D  Remove the most polluting cars from the roads

 Listening  script

Speaker: I   was worried before our ferry journey. It takes nine hours and I was sure the children would get bored. The first hour went quickly as we watched England disappear into the fog and then we had something to eat but, when we had finished, there were still seven hours to go. That’s when the entertainment started. There were magicians, games and then a pantomime, which the children loved. By the time it had all finished, we could see land ahead of us and, an hour later, we were in the car on the next stage of our journey.

TWO

A: Good morning. How many bags do you want to check in? B: Just two. Here. A: This one weighs 30 kilos. The limit is 20 kilos. You’ll have to pay £5 a kilo for the other 10 kilos. B: How much does the other one weigh? A: That’s 10 kilos. B: So that’s 40 kilos for two bags, so it’s OK. A: No, it doesn’t work like that. B: Well, can I take some things out of the heavy suitcase and put them in the light one? A: Yes, but not here. You’ll have to go to the back of the queue. B: Oh no! I’ll pay the £50!

THREE  

Daughter: Hi, Dad. Dad: Hello. How are you? Daughter: Great. We’re having a really nice time. We went for a long walk today. Now we’re waiting for a disco this evening. Dad: How are Mr Davies and Miss Jones? Daughter: They’re OK. They had to phone two parents to collect their children because they were being difficult but they seem more relaxed than in lessons. Dad: That’s good. Poor parents. That’s a long way to drive. They won’t be very happy. I hope we won’t have to do the same. Daughter: Don’t worry, Dad. There’s no danger of that.

 FOUR

 Speaker: This is a superb tent. It’s strong, big and very easy to put up. It’s made from the same material that they use in the Himalayas but, because of technological advances, it’s now very cheap. The best thing about it is that, although it can fit four people comfortably, it’s light enough and small enough to carry in a backpack. Here, hold it. It’s light, isn’t it? We've got them on special offer with a ten-year guarantee. If I was going camping, this is the tent I would buy.

 

 Speaker5:

I’m standing on St Agnes, in the Isles of Scilly, off the south-west coast of England. This is the quietest, most unspoilt and furthest west of all the islands. Here, on the west coast of St Agnes, is England’s most westerly campsite. During the day, you can walk or take a boat trip to one of the other islands. At night, as you watch the blood-red sunset over the Atlantic Ocean. It’s amazing to think that there is nothing but sea between you and the east coast of Canada nearly 3,000 miles away.

 SIX

 A: Hi, you look tanned. Where have you been? B: We’ve been skiing. In Spain. A: Spain? Do they have snow? B: In the mountains, yes. It was a great trip. We had two days sightseeing in Granada, then stayed for a week in the mountains and then we went to a small town called San José and had a few days walking along the coast looking at the view of Africa across the Mediterranean. A: Wow! It sounds great. B: But you don’t like skiing. A: No, but I’d like to go to the Mediterranean and get away from this horrible February weather!
