WRITING:WARM-UP

Es.4
:
Student’s activity. Suggested answer: Finishing school is an important watershed in your life. It
is the end of a period where you are sheltered and protected and guided in what you do. For
most students the choice before them is between a course of further study, either at university
or in professional training, or a job. There is another possibility however, taking a break for a
year and trying something new. This is a gap year. Those that encourage a gap year say it
brings a series of new experiences such as coping with different cultures, different countries
and above all different standards of living. In addition, students abroad learn new skills and
above all learn to cope on their own. It is a form of growing up. In spite of these obvious
advantages, there are points against the idea. For example the cost, the risks involved and the
feelings of homesickness or loneliness away from family and friends. All in all the gap year is
something to consider with care, bearing in mind your own personality and abilities. It can be an
enriching positive experience but must be planned and monitored efficiently.

it goes from the extreme of pet food taster paid at just £20,000 a year to the sublime of bed

:
Es.8
1. Our own fear, arrogance, resistance, stress, and obsession with being right, we often end
up being inflexible to our own detriment and to the frustration of those around us.

2. Flexibility should be a conscious choice, a powerful skill, and a valuable approach to the
ever-changing, always-evolving world we live in. We can be firm in our convictions,
passionate about our beliefs, and clear about our intentions, and at the same time be
flexible enough to make significant changes and be open to new ideas along the way.
Es.9
1. We are, by definition, inflexible every time we get attached to something. Letting go of our
attachment to something means we no longer want to control every aspect of it by forcing
the action. This is a process of conscious ‘non-attachment’ (letting go), as opposed to
detachment (not caring).

2. Most of us love to be right and will do and say just about anything to avoid being wrong.
When we’re willing to be wrong (not necessarily interested in or intending to be wrong), we
are ready to take risks, try new things, and approach important things with a creative,
innovative, and flexible perspective.

3. Taking ourselves too seriously creates unnecessary stress, pressure, and worry. When
we’re able to laugh at ourselves, keep things in perspective, and remember that most of
what we deal with on a daily basis in life is not life or death - we can take ourselves less
seriously and thus have a more balanced, peaceful, and creative way of relating to things.

4. The more we’re able to tap into the natural flow of life, trust ourselves and others, and
believe that things will work out - the more likely we are to allow things to roll off our backs
and manifest with ease.

5. The support and feedback of others is invaluable in so many aspects of our life and
growth. We can learn from and model others who are more flexible than we are. We can
also give people in our life permission to kindly warn us when we get rigid, uptight, over-
attached, and start taking ourselves too seriously.

Mr Irons, told his students that last year on 22 April, hundreds of thousands of people around
the world gathered to celebrate Earth Day. He also stated that thecelebration had become an
opportunity to raise the awareness of threats to our planet and to learn how to protect the
environment. Scientists stated that humans caused that warming because they used to burn
fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gas for their cars, houses and factories. They went on saying
that it would take time to educate people about environmental problems properly. Mr Irons also
told us that the Earth Day had started in 1969 when a massive oil spill in Santa Barbara had
destroyed the environment and killed sea life. He also explained that in 2017, for the first time,
another event had happened on the same day: the International March for Science. In London,
thousands of people had marched from the Science Museum to Parliament Square to draw
attention to the importance of science. There had also been big crowds in Edinburgh, Scotland,
Sydney, in Australia, and Washington DC, the capital of the USA. There, the organisers of the
march had declared that science had been under attack from some politicians.

Lots of kids dream of being an astronaut but may not realise how intense the program is or
what the actual responsibilities are. An astronaut boards a spacecraft to fly on missions for very
specific purposes. Astronauts work as part of a crew and therefore have specific
:
responsibilities aboard the spacecraft. Astronauts go through very specialised and intense
training to prepare for these space missions. They must pass certain physical requirements as
well as the comprehensive academic and mental exams. Astronauts fly to various destinations
to conduct research and experiments. The missions may vary and therefore the actual focus
and responsibilities of the astronaut will change with each mission. There are various roles that
an astronaut may cover as a part of the spacecraft’s crew, ranging from a mission specialist to a
commander. Not only are astronauts responsible for fulfilling the terms, or purpose, of their
mission, but they arealso responsible for ensuring the safety of the spacecraft and the crew.
Astronauts will often observe the environment they fly to, bringing something back from there.
Astronauts must ensure that they keep in the good physical shape, since they will need to be fit
to fly a spacecraft and carry out missions

1. Effective integration policies can enrich countries economically, socially and culturally,
generating new opportunities for development.

2. There seems to be the impression that international migration is out of control, that
governments are feeble in the face of unstoppable movements, and that migrants are
threatening the social fabric of many countries.

3. Migrants and refugees are often vulnerable people fleeing war, violence or extreme
:
hardship. They may have endured great trials, crossing continents, and losing relatives and
friends. In host countries they are often viewed as a threat to local values and cultures, a
burden on taxpayers.

4. Asylum seekers and humanitarian migrants represent only a fraction of total migration
flows.

5. There is an exaggerated perception of how much migrants cost and how much they
access social benefits. The evidence reported annually by OECD shows that migrants are
productive members of society who work in various sectors, set up businesses and have
innovative ideas.

6. Xenophobia and discrimination must be fought just like smuggling and corruption and the
illegal employment of foreign workers.

social cohesion.

1. They are looking for all kinds of air-purifying solutions, from the use of bikes to moss-

apartments together with nearly 500 medium and large trees, 300 small trees, 5,000
shrubs, and 11,000 plants.

3. He was inspired by a simple scientific principle: trees are the cheapest and most efficient
way to absorb carbon dioxide.

4. The 20,000 trees and plants across this pair of towers can transform approximately
44,000 pounds of carbon dioxide into oxygen each year. Trees can also keep temperatures

the better off. In Liverpool, bike-share firms are working more closely with job centres to
offer free membership to the unemployed.
