The oldest maps ‘Maps are graphical representations of the space around us, No map, not even the smallest or most detailed one, can give complete information on a place or area. Maps are man’s first form of written communication and were used even hhefore man started to write. The earliest known map was, drawn ona clay table in the 3° millennium BC by the Sumerians. It showed the world as a flat circle. Mapmaking was highly developed in Ancient Greece where Ptolemy, a ‘mathematician and astronomer, mapped out the world using: latitude and longitude. Maps through time One of the first uses of maps was to indicate property. In Ancient Fgypt people living along the river Nile drew simple maps of their land in order to help them find their property after the river flooded. As man began to travel, he used maps to help him find his destination, and his way back home. ‘Then when he began to explore the world he drew complex maps of the sea and the coastline of the New World. 4 Read the article and answer the questions.

But there's another important issue fo consider. There may be a debate among econor year olds should be saving - but there is lite dispute about how much the young should save: more. Saving whilst ‘young is important, and not just because of the power of compounding. Compounding means that if you start saving. ‘ow, it will build to a larger amount by the time you are 65 than if you wait to start at 45. Or to put it another way, you can save a smaller amount now rather than a larger amount later. MAKING THE MOST OF YOUR MONEY For young people - from high school students who are given allowances from their parents or who are already doing part-time jobs to college graduates walking out into the world - learning. to plan their budgets isa very important skill. And in many cases, it means taking the simple For example: save up fo 10% of your income before anything else.

Don’t deprive yourself of daily treats like a coffee or a drink with a friend, Otherwise, life seems dull and boring and saving is that much more difficult. And here’s something nice: find a partner and stay together. Studies show that two can live more cheaply. s about how much $0 and 60 Another good reason to get into the habit of saving is that people who save a lot get used to a lower rate of consumption while working, so less money is needed in retirement. Stretching to save a little more yields a double dividend: you accumulate more and you lower the amount you wall need in retirement because you will not have the A regular habit of savings costs you very litle each week. You easily wasted that money last week on things that you cannot even recall this Week. A useful exercise proves the point: for a week, list everywhere you spend cash. Could you save another 10 percent a week? IF you can, you are on the right road to saving. 21 What is the writer trying to do? ‘A convince people to save money when they are young B oxplain that marriage is the best form of saving C describe some ways of saving money D offer advice about investing money 22 What is the writer's attitude to saving? ‘A People must cut any kind of expenses.

Ifo, what did you do? Is enough done in your school to stop bullying? Unfortunately, there are always people who will bully other people ‘who are not in a position to protect themselves. However, in the last few years a lot of attention has been given to the problem of bullying. So while ‘bullying still exists, people are ‘more aware of the problem and how to deal with it What is bullying? Bullying can take many forms. It can be name-calling and teasing, as well as physical violence. Bullying takes place in many different places: at school, at work, at home, over the Internet and by mobile phone, School bullying: some statistics 10% of British secondary school pupils arc bullied more than once or twice in any term, About 179% of calls to GhildLine are about bullying, For five years running, it’s been the most common reason people call the helpline, 20% of American kids admit to being a bully, or doing some bullying. 5 8% of students in the USA miss one day of class per month through fear of being bullied. 439% of American students fear harassment in the bathroom at school Tell someone! Bullying thrives on silence; people who are being bullied often feel there is nothing to be gained by speaking out against someone who bullies others, thereby allowing it to continue. Ignore the bullying! Trying to ignore bullying doesn’t always ‘work, but sometimes people get bored if you're indifferent to their teasing. Write down the occasfons when ‘you're being bullied.

They can be watched 24 hours a day on special TV channels, or on the Internet. There are also daily edited versions shown on terrestrial TV. Every week one contestant is climinated. The audience phone in their vote for who they ‘want to leave the house and the programme. One by one the contestants are eliminated until there is just one winner. You cannot be serious! Since Big Brother there have been many more reality TV game shows. British nevispaper, the Daily Mirror, ran an advertisement in its paper asking for contestants to take part in a new reality game show Quarantine, The premise for this programme was that contestants would be exposed to infectious diseases. The winner would be the person who remained the healthiest. Obviously, such a programme was invented!

The first thing I noticed there was an enormous Mexican flag in the centre of the square, I spent some time walking around, but since I only had a day to spend there, [ decided to move on. learned that the best way to see the most sights in the shortest time is to take the “Turibu: red, two level bus similar to the double decker buses in London, except that the top level has no roof, This means that you see the city better, but it also means that you need to wear lots of sun cream.

For each question, mark the correct letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet. Bonnie Gates, Wedding Planner 1 will never forget the first wedding that I went to. My cousin Emily was getting married, and she had planned every detail However, despite all her careful planning, there were-some problems. Ten minutes before the wedding, her future husband realised he had forgotten to bring the marriage licence. During the hour that the priest and guests had to wait for him to drive back and get it, my cousin had a nosebleed and got blood on her wedding dress. Then, my aunt fainted in the heat. And you can imagine how shocked everyone was when they discovered that the wedding cake had been ordered for the next day! When couples ask me to plan their weddings, | always tell them that many problems can be avoided by checking that everything is going according to plan before the important day. For example, if the future husband calls a day or two before the event to make sure that the cake will be ready for the wedding day, it can help prevent the problem that my cousin had. ‘When planning a wedding, remember to expect the unexpected. I always give the couple a bag full of things that could help in an emergency such as coloured chalk for stains and smelling salts for fainting, And even when there are big problems, it helps to have a sense of humour. Although my cousin had a lot of problems at her wedding, it was still the happiest day of her life because she was able to laugh, We should also keep in mind that both the future wife and husband ought to plan their wedding together. Tt isn't fair if one person does all the work. Planning a wedding is not the only thing that the husband and the wife will do together in their future. Sharing in the work isn’t just the secret to a good wedding, but maybe the seoret to a good marriage, too! 21 What is the writer's main purpose in this text?
