Sample Reading Passage with Questions

1. Mumbai is India’s largest city. Mumbai was part of the British Empire until
independence in 1947. It was then called Bombay. In 1995 it was renamed
Mumbai. It is the fifth most populous city in the world, and in 2010 it had a
population of 23 million.

2. Mumbai is in the north west of India, on the coast. It has a tropical climate, with
four seasons. January and February are the winter months, with average
temperatures a cool 16 to 18°C, while March to May is the summer period. May
is the hottest month, averaging 34°C. The monsoon season, from June to
September, is very wet, with July experiencing the heaviest rainfall. The highest
rainfall in the history of Mumbai was recorded on 26 July 2005. On this day, a
record 944 mm of rain fell on the city, causing large scale flooding and property
damage, and claiming several lives. The dry season, October to December is
cooler and drier.

3. Mumbai is both old and modern, rich and poor. The streets are full of people
doing business. They sell snacks and clothes, or just live. Mumbai is famous as
the entertainment capital of India. The country’s most important businesses and
banks have their headquarters in Mumbai, and it is one of the world's top ten
centres of business and finance. It is the richest city in India, and money is
everywhere. However, sixty per cent of the population live in buildings with no
water, no electricity, and no sanitation. Modern skyscrapers and new shopping
malls are right next to these slums.

4. Public transport in Mumbai carries millions of people by rail, road and water
every day. The cheapest and easiest transport is by bus or taxi. Trains can be
crowded and dangerous. Because of its poverty, Mumbai can be a difficult place
to live. But it is also unlike any other city. The experience is unique.

Listening:

 20 Multiple Choice Questions ( 2 listening scripts with 10 MCQs each)

 The final exam will be based on the listening skills covered in Units 4-6 (Q-Skills books)
only.

Sample Listening Script with Questions

Alan: Hi Walter. How are you? What are you doing today?
Walter: Hello Alan. I’m fine, thanks. I’m studying lifestyles - the way people live - in
other countries.
Alan: Which countries?
Walter: Today I got onto Wikipedia and read about Canada …and then France, Alan,
because many Canadians speak French.
Alan: That’s interesting. What did you read about France?
Walter: Well, France is part of Europe, and most of the culture there is totally
different from Canada.
Alan: How is it different, Walter?
Walter: Well, for one thing, when you have a meeting or appointment in Canada
you must be there on time. But in France it’s acceptable to be up to one
hour late.
Alan: Hey Walter! I think I’d like to live in France. I wouldn’t have to buy a watch.

Walter: Maybe not, Alan. Anyway, tomorrow I’m going to look up China and Japan.
Alan: They both speak the same language, don’t they?
Walter: Actually, Alan, they don’t. The languages may sound similar to us, but
Chinese is totally different from Japanese.
Alan: Oh. …Really?
Walter: Not just that, Alan. China itself has two different main languages. One is
called Mandarin and the other Cantonese.
Alan: Hmm – I’m not really interested in China, Walter. But Japan appeals to me.
Walter: Yes. I’m thinking about visiting Japan in a year or two. It has an interesting
culture. For instance, people there don’t shake hands when they meet.
They bow to each other. Also it’s considered bad manners, even rude, if
you don’t take off your shoes when you go into a traditional Japanese
restaurant.
Alan: Hey Walter – in Japan I could walk around without shoes and then get my
dinner faster when I go out to eat!
Walter: That’s very funny, Alan, but you will need shoes in Japan, even in summer,
because, according to Wikipedia, many cities get a lot of rain.
