(Suggested answer)
The film "Senseand Sensibility"starringEmma
Thompsonand Hugh Grantand directedby Ang Lee,
is a romanticfilm adapted{rom the book by Jane
Austen.
It tellsthe story of two sisterswho are completely
differentin character,and their experienceswith the
men they love.
"Senseand Sensibility"managesto recreatethe
atmosphereof early 19thcenturyEngland,which
helps the film-goerto understandthe reasonsfor
someof the characters'actions,and is bothhumorous
and moving.Althoughthe Jilmis not particularly
excitingin terms of action,it is dramaticenough to
keep you wonderingwhat's going to happen next.I
can thoroughlyrecommendgoing to see it if you feel
likea changefrom modern-dayviolentand shocking

I was a customer,along with severalfriends,at
your restaurantlastweek,and am writingto complain
about the treatmentwe received.
The manager was extremelyrude to us from the
momentwe enteredthe restaurant,
and we hadto wait
almost half an hour for a table, although we had
b o o k e do n e .
Having ordered our food, we were kept waiting
almostan hour.When it finallyarrivedit was so badly
cookedthat we had to send it back. No apologywas
offeredfor the appallingfood, and we thus decidedto
leavethe restaurantwithout re-ordering.

there'sa danger that you may be evictedfrom your

Dear Sir,
I am writingto complainabout a Micromixwhich I
boughtfrom "Scots"last week.
Afterusingthe Micromixfor the firsttime I noticed
that the plastichad discolouredand that the button
had melted. lt seemed that the oroduct was completelyunsuitablefor microwaveuse. I returnedit to
the storewhere I had bought it, expectinga complete
refund. Instead,your sales representativewas extremelyrudeto me, accusingme of usingit in my oven
instead.He refusedto give me a new Micromixor my
money back.
I hope that you will be able to olfer me a more
acceptable solution after inspecting the Micromix
which I enclose.I also expectyou to reprimandyour
salesrepresentative
for his behaviour.
I look forwardto your prompt reply.

Thereare many pointsto take into consideration

Tourism can also dramaticallychange the landscapeofan area.Manybeautifulbeacheshavebeen

be argued that numerous sites and monuments

1 . The advantagesand disadvantagesof owning
a pet.
Owninga pet is somethingthatmany peoplethese
daysdecideto do, mostlydue to thefactthat,for most,
it has more advantagesthan disadvantaqes.
One of the mainadvantagesof owningi pet isthat
rt can providea much-neededsense of companion_
ship to those who would otherwisebe livinga lonely
life, for examplethe elderly.A pet will always be a
faithfuland loyalcompanionand a valuablesourceof
comfort, and it is very common for pet owners to
oecomeextremelyattachedto theiranimals;in some
cases,more than they do to humans.This is under_
standable,becausean animalwill neverquestionits
owner'sbehaviourand will alwaysmake them feel
valuedand loved.lt was once sald that ,,youcan tell
b y t h e k i n d n e s so f a d o g h o w a h u m a ns h o u l db e . "
However.thereare certaindisadvantages
to own_
rng a pet, particularlyfor those who live in an urban
area. This is mainly due to the fact that there is not
enough space in smallapartmentsto accommodate
a familyplus a pet. Added to this is the fact that it is

of owning a pet is the fact
that it can cost a lot of money.Food hasto be bought,

Yes,thereare some endangeredspeciesin my country, We used to have a lot of bears in the north of
Greece,but now thereareonlyabout 100left.Wolves,
and some species of eagles are also endangered,
along with sea-tuftles.
A lot of speciesbecomeendangeredbecausepeople
hunt them. Organisationscan be set up to protect
these species from hunters,and governmentscan
make it illegalfor peopleto killthem. Anotherreason
some species die out is that their habitatsare destroyed.This could also be avoided by turning the
areas into nationalparks.
lt is importantto protectall speciesto preventthem

Subject: Surveyon people holidayingabroad
Introduction
This report was written to analyse the results of a
recent survey into the number of people who take
holidaysabroad everysummer.Informationwas ootainedfrom majortravelagentsthroughoutthe counIry.
Air Fares
On the whole, there has been a steady increasein
people travellingabroad over the last five years.
Increasedcompetitionbetweencharterairlineshas
led to a drop in air fares, which is the reason why
studentsand young familieshavecontributedto 65%
of the growingtravelmarket.
Scheduledairlinesare alsodroppingtheirfares,maxing it possiblefor people to travel to more distant
destinations.
Hotels
European hotels in particularhave become more
accommodatingto families,offeringdiscountsor
freeaccommodationto children.Hotelbookingswere
up by almost30% this summer in Greece,Spainand
Italydue to well-plannedfamilypackages.
Conclusion
The survey clearly shows that the trend towards
foreign holidaysis increasingand will continueto
increasedue to the now recognisedneedfor cheaper
airfares,updated hotel servicesand improvedlacilities for children.
Itwasabout3.00p.m.on Saturdayafternoon
when
the accidenthappened.I pulledup at the trafficlights
halfway down HamiltonAvenueand waitedfor them
to turn to green.
I wasn't reallypaying much attentionto what was
going on outsidebecauseI was tryingto calm my two
childrendown. They were fightingin the back seat
and I couldn'tconcentrate.Suddenly,however,a blue
VolkswagonBeetlescreechedround the cornerand
smashedrightinto us. lt pushedmy car rightonto the
pavement because it was going so fast. There were
two young boys in the car and when I got out to see
if they were all right I could smellthat they had been
drinking,and there were beer cans all over the floor.
When I saw the drivertryingto starl the engine I
quicklytookthe car keysout of the ignitionso thatthey
couldn't drive away.
Luckily someone saw what had happened and
calledthe police,who soon arrived.No one was hurt,
but it could havebeen much moreseriousif we hadn't

Well,yes I do read magazines.I usuallyread magazines about computers because l'm interestedin
computersand want to be kept informedof the latest
news about them. Kerpowi might be a magazine
about music. I think Metropolitan Woman is about
fashion, working women and women's problems.
Sparklemight be a comic magazine,Tech-knowledge
is definitelyabouttechnology.Gamingmust be about
sports. Home Maker must be about how to make
thingsfor your house.Finally,GlamorousYoumustbe
about beautyand how to keep fit.

lntroduction
The aim of this report is to analysethe resultsof a
surveycarriedout regardingthe magazines
p u b l i s h e db y o u r c o m p a n y .
Types
As other nationalsurveyshave shown, specialised
magazinesare more popularthan generalones.This
is demonstratedby the fact that of the 2,000 people
surveyed,80% said they regularlybought
"Gaming",and "Homecraft",
while
"Tech-knowledge",
only 20% bought "Homemaker"and "Kerpow".An
exceptionto this trend was our children'smagazine,
"Sparkle",which was bought by nearlyhalf of those
interviewed.
Age Groups
The surveyshowedthatthe 30 - 40 age group bought
far more magazinesthan any other group, at nearly
6 0 % .S e c o n dw a s t h e 2 0 - 3 0 a g e g r o u p ,a t 4 0 % . I h e
lowest magazinesales appearedin the 10 - 20 age
group.Thisis shownby thefactthat'Kerpow"sellsthe
leastof all our magazines,at 5% of total sales.
Price
Price had very little influence on magazine sales
accordingto our survey.70% claimedthat they consideredtheir own interestsfirst,and price second or
not at all.
Recommendations
Based on the resultsof the survey,I would suggest
that we concentrateon the more specialisedmagazines and consider phasing out the least popular,
such as "Kerpow"and "Homemaker".

I think the man was quite nervous,becausehe kept
tellingthe woman to hurry.The whole time this was
happeningthe other man was pointinghis gun at all
the peopleon the floor and tellingus not to move.
Both men seemedto be quite young, althoughI
couldn'tseethem properlybecauseI was lyingon the
floor. I did noticethough that one had short blond
hair and was about 6 feet tall,and the other one
was shortand fat with dark brown hair.I thinkthat the
robbershad plannedwhatthey were going to do well
in advance,becausethey both seemedquitesure of
what they were doing, and knew to strikeat a time
when the safe was full.

Dear Peter,
Sorry I haven'twrittenfor so long but I've been
reallybusy with my new job. So far everythingis
great and I reallylove teaching.
Firstof all,the workingconditionsare excellent
and the environmentis very pleasant.What is
more, my colleaguesare really friendlyand I've
made many friends. Secondly, the job itself is
extremelyinterestingand challengingand I enjoy
it very much.There'salwayssomethingdifferentto
do and I neverget bored.
However,there are a few things that I'm not
happyabout.Firstly,the salaryI receiveis a bit low
but I have been told that I will get a pay rise soon,
so I hope everythingwill be alright.What's more,
the childrenare sometimesnaughtywhich can be
very tiring.
All in all, this has been a great experience.I
reallyhope you manageto visitme soon and who
knows?Perhapsyou'lldecideto stay!pleasewrite
and tell me your news.

"Don't be frightened,everything'sgoing to be
alright," Tom told his brother, Dave, who was
clingingto the sideof the lifeboat.lt was bitterlycold
as the wavestossedthe boat around like a toy.
Theirsailingweekendhad startedthat morning
full of excitementand promisebut then everything
had gone terriblywrong. Two hours into their trip
they had sailed into a violent storm. They had
managedto get the lifeboatinto the waterjust as
theirboat beganto sink.Now,theywerelostat sea,
with no sign of rescuein sight.
Suddenly,Davepointedwitha shakingfingerto
a huge rock,whichwas directlyin frontof them.',Oh
no! We're going to hit itl' he screamed.The boys
tried to steer away from the rock with their hands
but the boatseemedto havea mind of its own.Just
as they were about to crash,the boys jumped into
the water and startedswimmingfranticallytowards
the rock. No sooner had they reachedit than they
hearda helicopterabovethem. "We'redown here!
We're down here!"they shoutedat the top of their
tungs.
Later,when they wereon dry land,the brothers
lookedat each other.No words were said but they
both knewwhatthe otherwas thinking- it would be
a long time beforeeitherone went sailingagain.

The Advantages and Disadvantages
of Being a Vegetarian
Nowadays,vegetarianismhas becomea trend
for people who are in search of a healthierlife.
However,it can be said thereare both advantaoes
and disadvantages
for decidingto be a vegetarLn.
Firstly,vegetariansfeel that there are certain
advantagesto be gainedby not eatingmeat.They
consider substitutefoods such as soya, cereals
and vegetablesarean evenbettersourceof protein
than meat.lt is maintainedthat such foods are low
in fat and cholesterolthereforepromoting better
health.Finally,by avoidingmeat,vegetariansbelievethey are not eatingcontaminatedfood which
is often a source of many illnesses.
O n t h e o t h e rh a n d ,s o m ep e o p l ef e e lt h a tb e i n g
a vegetarian has disadvantages.For example.
such a diet can be boring and tasteless.Also,the
choiceof food availableis oftenlimitedwheneating
out. In addition,not eatingmeat can often lead to

a deficiencyin iron and proteinwhich can resultin

s e r i o u sh e a l t hp r o b l e m s F
as meat-eaters,
so by not eatingmeat,they might
be atfectingtheir very nature.
To sum up, I believeit is a matterof personal
opinionwhetheror not someoneeatsmeat.People
are free to decide on their own eatingpatterns.

In addition,hot

thereare changingroomsand lockersfor all camp_

there are often queues.

Picture A shows a team of rugby playerswhereas
picture B shows a windsurferalone.The main difference is that windsurfingcan be done alone whereas
rugby is a team sport.
I would prefer to do windsurfingbecause it is very
excitingand I love the sea.
To do team sports you need to consideryour teammates and not be selfish.With individualsports you
only have yourself to depend on so you have to
concentratemuch more.
Peoplechooseto do dangeroussportsbecausethey
have a desirefor excitementin their livesand so are

I believe that students learn better when they are
listeningto a teacher.They are more likelyto concentrate and learn somethingthan if they just sit around
talkingto other students.
I believethis is only possible if parentsare actually
