Exam Guide Level 82

The Euro exams test communicative competence by testing success in real communication;
The
Exam tasks are directlY based on the Common Euroiean Fiamework oí Reference
for Languages
issued bY the Council of Europe, Passing a Euro exam indicates that the candidate can
undertake a
varietY of rea|-liÍe tasks in English. tn the Euro exams we test language skills and systems
together
- there are no separate oral and written examinations.
ManY of the tasks - just like the use of language in rea|-|ife situations - require the simultaneous use
of various sPeaking-listening and writing-reading sub-skills. For this reason candidates cannot take
the tests seParatelY. ln the assessment of writing and speaking, accuracy is of course tested, but
more weight is given tO the candidate's ability to convey a message clearly and appropriately without
omitting any relevant details, This integrated-skills and task_baséo appróach is in line witÁ current
views and standards throughout EuropÖ.
ln order to pass candidates are expected to achieve 65% of the total marks available, as well as
obtaining at least 4O% oÍ the marks in each individual test, These thresholds,will vary slightly
between examinations depending of the difíiculty oí the tasks,

The Isle of Man

Situated midway between England, and lreland, the Isle of Man is a sleepy
haven of peace and tranquillity. The island also has something for lovers of
the fast-paced too, hosting the world famous Tourist Trophy motorcycle
races and other motor sport events for which the island is internationally
renowned.
Example: Paragraph "D" is the best heading

6. 600 miles of uncluttered road,s criss-cross breathtaking scenery as do many

we}l-maintained footpaths. As well as enjoying a wide range of country
pursuits oí sea sports, visitors can go back to another era by experiencing
one of the Isle of Man's vintage transport systems - steam railway, electric
tram or horse tram.
T. The island's history dates back more than 10,000 years. In 1997 a new §6
million heritage centre, the House of Manannan, opened in Peel, on the
Island's west coast. It provides information about a variety of historical
sights ranging from Celtic monuments to the best preserved medieval
fortress in Britain - Castle Rushen. A]l these sights are accessible to tourists.
8. The Isle of Man was also the birthplace of the Royal National Lifeboat
Institution. Sir William Hillary, the founder, got his idea for the senrice after
moving to the Island in 1808. From his Fort Anne mansion overlooking
Douglas Bay, he was aware of the treacherous nature of the Irish Sea with
many boats being wrecked around the Island's coast. He drew up plans for
a lifeboat service run by trained crews.

g. Initialty he received little response from the Admiralty but on appealing to

the more philanthropic members of tondon society, the plans Were
enthusiastically adopted and the Royal National Lifeboat Institution for the
preservation ot Lifg from Shipwrect 1*r,i"r, later became the RNLI) was
founded tn1824,
l0.At the age of 60, Sir William took part in the rescue of the Royal Mail Steam
packet St. George, which foundered on Conister Rock at the entrance to
Douglas harbour, He command,ed the lifeboat and everyone aboard the St
George was rescued with no loss of life. The experience prompted him to
buitd the Tower of Refuge on Conister Rock. Completed in 1832, the tower
provided shelter for shipwrecked mariners until the lifeboat could reach
them. Until recently, the tower was constantly kept supplied with fresh
bread and water.
tl.The Isle of Man is ideally placed for yachtsmen to visit en route from
Scotland or lreland, and take shelter in one of the Isle of Man's PrettY
harbours. However, there is easy access by air oí sea. Major carriers are:
The Isle of Man Steam Packet Company which operates passenger and
ferries between the ports of Douglas and Heysham/Liverpool. and Manx
Airlines, which operates regular flights from many UK airports including
Heathrow, Luton, Liverpool, as well as Dublin.

Iris Murdoch & John Bayley

A libertine spirit with brilliant mind, Iris Murdoch

was a woman ahead of her time: philosopher, author
of 26 novels, and winner of the prestigious literary
Booker Prize, She also had a sensual, spellbinding
presence that cast a powerful spell on everybody who
met her, including her husband, Oxford professor
and writer John Bayley. They were together íor 43
years.

They lived in Oxford in a famously chaotic

household. He did the cooking, she did the shopping, and in addition to their |iterary and academic
pursuits, they were enthusiastic travellers, dance partners, poker play'ers-and, above all, swimmers.
They never had any children, and while she had affairs that Bayley tolerated, it was by all accounts, a
supremely h^ppy union of two scholars.

Text B:
Paul Newman & Joanne '§íoodward
In Hollywood, a town where marriages fade faster than a bad movie, actors Paul Newman and
Joanne §7oodward are as famous for their marital success as for their Oscars. How have they
managed to stay together íor 44 years?

It probably helps that they live in Connecticut, not in fantasyland. They also share a profession,
three grown children and an interest in philanthropy. Even the stars favour this glamorous couple.
"You stimulate each other's intellect," says a §íeb astrologer, looking ovef the couple's 2002
horoscopes. "You challenge each other's world view. At times you may read each other's minds and
finish each other's sentences. You can be a mentally and technically creative team."
Newman and §floodward also sponsor the Sazle tbe Children foster parent campaign and a camp for
children with life-threatening illnesses. In 1982Newman set up a multimillion-dollar corPoration that
markets everything from popcorn to spaghetti sauce. All profits go to charity.

Text C:
Sting & Trudie Styler
In an extravagant, fairy-tale wedding attended by lots of celebrity frie|ds, Sting, the world-renowned
singer ,rrd ,oirg*riter, married his iong-time love, Trudie Styler, an actress and film Producer. This
1992 ceremony not only celebrated the couple's ten years together, but also their three children
(they've since had a fourth) and their collaborative work for environmental causes.

Born Gordon Sumner in 1951 into a working class family in Newcastle, England, Sting got his name
from fellow musicians_a tribute to the striped "bee-like" shirts he wore. Teacher by daY, Punk
rocker by night, he made it big in 1979 whenhis band, The Police, produced the hit single Roxanne,
In the early 80s, shortly before The Police was formed and his first marriage broke up, Sting met the
vivacious Úto"j Styler. Born in England in 1955, Trudie had run away from home at age t7 with
dreams of becoming an actress. She went on to attend the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School and

Task Four: Reading for detailed information (l0 minutes)- Questions t9_25

o Read the foltowing text about smoking and answer the multipte-choice
questions.

By Caren Benjamin

Nobody smokes in Catherine Nagle's house. Nobody. When smokers come to visit, she hands them an
ashtray and tells them to step outside if they want to have a cigarette. She won't even make an
exception for her mothpr-in-law - though her husband made her break the news.

Nagle believes the fact that her 16-year-old son doesn't smoke, despite typical teenage peer pressure, is
thanks largely to the household's total smoking ban. "I think the fact that we won't let his grandmother
or aunts or,uncles smoke in the house shows how firmly we believe that smoking is bad," she says.
"He sees that we think it's wrong for adults to do it so he won't think'it's something I can do when I
get to be l8 when it's legal."'

A study in the Journal of the American Medical Association suggests she is on the right track, The
study found that a total ban on smoking in the home is the most effective way to keep teenagers from
picking up the habit. Whether or not parents smoke is still the most important factor, but the JAMA
study found children of non-smoking parents who let other people smoke in their home are almost as
likely to become smokers as kids from homes where at least one parent smokes and there is a total
ban.

Ideally, the home smoking ban should be in place when your child is born. Aside from the obvious
health reasons, there are good sociological reasons for this. If you've got young children, then usually
it's not difficult for parents to ask relatives not to smoke in the house. Grandparents, uncles and friends
think that's a right that parents have. By the time the child is 15 or 17, it's a much harder sell, in fact by
that age it's probably not worth the fight.

Even in a household where one parent smokes, a total ban can still be very effective, If muln makes
dad smoke on the porch, and dad agrees to do so, that's a pretty significant message to kids about the
dangers of smoking and about the fact that even the adult smoker knows the behaviour is dangerous.

As an added bonus, for smokers who are forced outside their homes to smoke, the habit becomes
something they have to consciously clroose to do. They think to themselves "'.Do I want to get up and
have a cigarette, or do I want to stay here and finish watclring this TV show?" As often as not, they
clroose the TV show. As nicotine consumption decreases, so does addiction level, eventually making it
easier for tlte parent to quit smoking.

Task One: Rats - Questions /- 5

Read the English text. For each question choose the Hungarian
sentence which summarises
the text most accurately.

study shows rats dream about running mazes

Researchers say they have entered the dreams

of rats and found them running through the
same lab mazes they negotiate during the day.
It is evidence not just that animals dream, but
that they replay events much the way humans
do, and they may use their dreams to learn or
memorise.

The findings could evenfually help researchers understand how the human
mind works. "It's really opening a new door into the study of dreams,'' said
professor Matt Wilson, leader of the study.

But Robert Stickgold, Professor of Psychiatry, said there is no way to prove

researchers Were seeing rats dream, "If a rat could tell us, 'YeS, i *u,
dreaming about running around the track,'then we'd have it nailed down.''

The scientists had the rats perform specific tasks in a maze that produced
very distinctive patterns of brain activity. When they repeatedly saw almost
exactly the same patterns reproduced during sleep, they concluded the rats
were dreaming about running through the maze.

The discovery of similarities between human and animal dreams could help
scientists to use the rats to learn more about the human mind. scientisti
could manipulate the rats' experiences in a way that is not permissible with
people.
