READING SECTION
Read the article about people who work at Heathrow airport and tick (ü) A, B, or C.

Airport jobs
 At Heathrow airport, there are hundreds of interesting jobs people can do. We spoke to three people who work
there.
James Green, 26, security officer
‘After I left college, I worked for a security company abroad. I wanted to come back to the UK so I applied for a
job as a security officer at Heathrow. It’s our job to keep passengers and staff safe at all times. I meet
passengers from all over the world every day and help them with their problems. People are usually friendly, but
sometimes they get angry, especially if there are long queues or delays.’
Teresa Jones, 30, service manager
‘My job is to help passengers have a good journey through the airport terminal, from Arrivals to Departures. I talk
to people all day and I’m tired in the evening. But it’s also very exciting, because it changes all the time. One
minute you are making new travel arrangements for passengers, and the next minute you are dealing with a
problem at passport control. The only bad thing about my job is getting up very early.’
Husain Khaled, 35, terminal controller
‘My first job at the airport was as a security officer. After that, I did a lot of different jobs here. When I saw a job
for a terminal controller, I decided to apply. I like doing this work because there are all kinds of things to deal with
– security, communication, safety, and so on. It can be very busy and I spend a lot of time talking to people on
my mobile, but it’s always interesting.’

Shopping with mother?

I’m Cathy Huang and I’m 16. Welcome to my blog. This week I’m writing about shopping with your mother.
Thanks for reading!
 Have you ever been shopping with your mother? I’d like to hear you say ‘Yes, and it was fun.’ But are you really
telling the truth? I went to the shopping centre yesterday with my mum. She wanted to buy me a dress for her
birthday party. She’s going to be 50 next weekend. So what’s the problem with that? I hear you ask.
Well, the problem is, my mother always wants to buy me what she wants, not what I want. And we want very
different things. I tried on a beautiful red dress, but she said it didn’t fit. (It was very short!) Then I tried on a long
skirt, but she didn’t like the colour. (It was purple!) I was in and out of changing rooms all day and we couldn’t
agree on anything. She rolled her eyes and complained about everything I tried on. It was so depressing. And so
boring. By 5 o’clock my feet were killing me and I still didn’t have a dress for the party.
Next time Mum wants to take me shopping, I’m going to tell her my room is a terrible mess and I have to tidy it
now. I know it’s not very nice to lie, but shopping with my mother is not fun. And, I’ve just seen a fantastic dress
on eBay. It’s so chic. I’m going to look amazing at Mum’s party.

Example: Cathy writes her blog every week.
