READING COMPREHENSION
What Fresh Graduates Should Know about Their First Jobs
For recent graduates, internships may become a stepping stone to full-time, paid employment.
Before accepting an offer to work as an intern you should get some information about the company’s
reputation of procuring their interns and decide accordingly. If they usually hire one intern but have
tens of employees working day and night, it is better to look for other companies. The best place to
have an internship position is an organization that gives you an opportunity to gain real work
experience and develop your skills instead of using you as a cheap worker.
Another thing that should be considered is the size of the company. Sometimes bigger and more
established organizations are better as they have a clear hierarchy and therefore it gives you a clear
idea of your position and the job description and most importantly, it will be easier to get a mentor.
Startups with only five employees are usually more flexible in terms of job responsibilities and
therefore it makes it harder to define your position and get mentors.
5
After you choose a company, do a little research on the company including the people who work
there. You can do a Google search and comb social media such as LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter
to dig deep about the company’s hiring managers and what they expect from a new employee.
Social media is also very useful to keep in touch with as many people as you can and build your
network. Do not hesitate to maintain any personal connection you have because those connections
could be the first ones who inform you about a new job opening or any vacant positions you can
apply for.
If you aim for a dream job, do not overlook an entry-level position just because it offers mediocre
salary. Entry-level employees are more likely to be given room to grow and learn from their
mistakes. They will also be able to figure out the job routines and get used to them when they
actually get the position they have been dreaming about.
As your first few jobs might be very demanding yet less rewarding, remember to have fun and enjoy
your life. Working overtime may not always be a good idea to accelerate your career, especially if
you have to be more stressed than your seniors who earn bigger salaries. Setting the time for exercise
and social life will make your life more balanced and stress free.

A. Company’s recruitment procedure.

C. Company’s worker union.
D. Internship salary.

A. It has flexible work hours.
B. It offers higher salary.

D. It offers full-time position.
78. What are the recommended media for doing research on the company?
A. Google search, Facebook, LinkedIn
B. Google search, Twitter, Yahoo
C. Google search, Twitter, Gmail
D. Google scholar, LinkedIn, Twitter
79. Why is networking important for recent graduates?
A. To get information about job openings.
B. To get information about job security.
C. To keep in touch with an ex-employer.

the correct answer to each of the questions.
Advantages of Living in a Big City
Do you live in a big city? It is said that living in big cities is expensive because of the high living
cost. There are also pollution and traffic problems that make living in big cities unpleasant.
However, many people enjoy living in big cities because they offer convenience and countless
options for entertainment.
Many big cities already have good public transportation systems, which make it easy for the citizens
to go anywhere around the city. This also reduces and helps overcome the problem of traffic jams
that often occur at peak times. With the convenience of public transportation, the citizens do not
have to drive everywhere and can save money as they do not have to pay for parking charges.
Staying healthy is everybody’s concern and in big cities you can find the best possible medical care
for any diseases, especially the severe ones. Moreover, compared to rural areas, access to medical
treatment is easier because there are always clinics or medical centers that open 24 hours in many
parts of the city so you can get medical help anytime, as soon as you need it. Reaching hospitals is
also easier as public transport is usually available 24 hours a day.
There is a saying that big cities never sleep. This is true for some cities in which the nightlife begins
just when people in other cities are ready to go to bed. Big cities like New York, Madrid, London
and Paris have vibrant nightlife. People can still find entertainment, dine out or go shopping into the
early hours.
City dwellers are usually more diverse and there are many communities that hold social events or
parties, which provide interesting opportunities for social interactions and social networking. The
social interactions allow you to learn about other cultures and share interests with people from
different backgrounds, which makes you more open minded and able to understand individuals. On
the other hand, the social networking helps you to broaden not only personal but also professional
relationships.
All in all, living in big cities is more convenient because of the complete facilities provided. The
advanced transportation system enables the citizens to access public facilities easier, cheaper and
faster. Big cities also provide better education and health service. In addition, city life is more fun
and exciting because there is a wide range of entertainment to enjoy and a lot of social events to
attend.

How to Plan a Trip
Traveling can be tricky for a newbie. If you want to take a trip to a new place abroad or which is far
away from where you live, you may need to make a good plan in order to avoid troubles during the
trip. So once you know where you want to go, you should decide when and how you are going to
go there.
Many people take a trip during holidays because that is the time when they can take a break from
work or studies. Unfortunately, traveling during holiday season may not be a good choice as prices
for flight tickets and hotel rooms are usually higher than the off-season period when tourism is not
booming. If you have a limited budget, you may consider taking a day off work during the off-
season when prices are lower and discounted.
Your budget will also determine what means of transportation you are going to use. Taking a road
trip might be cheaper, but you should be in good shape and prepare your car for a long trip. If you
choose to fly, you may have to take public transportation to get around in your holiday destination.
Whether you take a taxi, subway or bus, you should know where you are going based on the itinerary
that you have planned before and make sure you know the routes and the fares.
Next, calculate your costs. What kind of accommodation do you want? If you take a road trip, you
may prefer to stay in a motel. Hostels are cheaper, but today you can search online and find hotels
offering rooms with low rates. If the costs are more than you can afford, make cuts where you can.
You may cut expenses for eating out or even cut the trip short and get back before the holiday season
ends.
Once you are exactly sure of where and when you want to go, how you will get there and where you
are going to stay, make your reservations. You can book your flight and accommodation online and
even many attractions have ticket sales online so you can skip the lines and enjoy the attraction right
in. You may also consider taking travel insurance. You will have some protection in case you could
17
not travel during the time your tickets are booked for. If you plan to travel internationally, keep your
passport, travel documents, visas and similar items in one place to ease you in accessing them.
Lastly, pack light. Heavy luggage will only restrict your movement and cause discomfort. A few
basic shirts and pants or shorts will do and roll them when packing to save room for souvenirs.

(A) During the holiday season.
(B) During the off-season.

Travel
Travel is something which people do every day. It is very difficult to avoid the need to travel. It may
be a trip to school, university or to work. Travelling can often take a long time, especially when
great distances need to be covered. People often enjoy travelling abroad for holidays. But for some
people travelling is not fun at all. Some people suffer from travel sickness. This means that they will
become very unwell each time they travel.
Travelling can be either affordable or costly. It often depends on how far you want to travel and the
choice of transport. Using a bicycle will not cost anything as you power it by using your legs.
However, the use of a bicycle can be hard work and can take a lot of time to travel long distances.
18
Cars and motorcycles are faster modes of transport, but are more expensive to use as gasoline is
needed for them to work. It can usually be assumed that the longer you wish to travel, the more
expensive and time consuming it will be.
The use of a plane is necessary for people wanting to travel very long distances. A pilot will fly a
plane from an airport for many thousands of miles to take people to places far away. Although traffic
is rarely a problem for airplanes, it can take a lot of preparation to travel by plane. People often need
to arrive at the airport three hours prior to departure.
A train is another mode of transport which is ideal for travelling long distances within the same
country, or between countries which are connected by land. A train driver will stop at train stations
on route to allow passengers wishing to proceed to the scheduled destination to board the train.
A number of destinations can be travelled to by using the sea. People often depart from a harbour
in a ferry which is driven by a captain. If the journey is a long distance, people may choose to sleep
on the ferry while they wait to arrive at their destination. Some people choose to go on a cruise for
their holiday, which would involve stopping at many different city ports for a short amount of time.
People who need to travel short distances may choose not to use any transport at all. People often
rely on their legs to take them to places nearby. This is often encouraged as certain modes of
transport have been said to produce harmful emissions and damage the environment.
6. Which mode of transport does not cost money?

(A) Train
(B) Car
(C) Walking
(D) Bus
7. Why do some people not enjoy travelling?
(A) They find it a waste of time
(B) It is not comfortable
(C) It is expensive
(D) They become unwell

Banking
Banking and banks are very important for the functioning of the modern world. Without banks the
way we use money would not work. Banks enable people to save money, borrow money and to pay
for things with ease and security.
Each country in the world has its own well known banks that have branches in nearly every city so
that they are convenient for people to use. People often have to visit the local branch of the bank
when they want certain services. There are also some very big multinational banks that have
branches in most countries in the world.
As well as the local branches that are in most cities, each bank will also have a head office. This is
where all central tasks are performed that let the local braches function. The people that work in the
branches will be the bank manager, the person in charge, and various tellers who work behind the
bank counter and help the customers. There will also likely be security guards to protect the money,
workers and customers.
Most customers will just need to see the tellers when they go to the bank if they are paying money
into their account as either cash or a check. However, they might need to see the bank manager if
they want to open an account or if they have become overdraw, when they have spent more money
than there was in the account. Also if they want to borrow money and get a loan the person will
need to see the bank manager who will have to approve it.
As well as being able to use cash or checks to pay for things, banks also offer their customers the
more convenient methods of using either a debit card or credit card. These methods are very
convenient as you just need to carry a small plastic card to be able to pay for anything. When paying
with plastic you will need to either sign a receipt or enter a PIN number to conform the purchase
and that you are authorized to use the card.

What a British Person Should Know When Eating Out in America

Eating out may be a simple thing, but for British people who have just come to America, it could be
an experience full of surprises. Here are five main differences a Brit should pay attention to when
eating out in a restaurant in America.
Ordering Drinks
The first thing a waiter would ask when you sit down in an American restaurant is whether you
would like bottled or tap water. If you choose bottled, you will then be asked whether you would
prefer still or sparkling. Soon, the water you ordered will be brought to you. Coffee and soft drinks
will also be gladly refilled. The waiter will proactively ask if you want another coffee or coke. In
Britain, water and soft drinks must be requested and they are not free.
The Service
Waiters in American restaurants are more pleasant and attentive. They are always chatty and often
come to your table during the meal to refill drinks and check everything is okay. In England, waiters
are less likely to frequently check on customers. If you need something, you can raise your hand
and waive at the waiter or else, you will be left alone for hours.
25
The Menu
In an American restaurant, picky eaters can customize the menu to suit their exact preferences by
reeling off special requirements and substitutions. You can order salad but without tomato or with
a special dressing to accommodate your diet. There is a friendly atmosphere that encourages you to
have exactly what you want and satisfy your appetite. On the other hand, people in England tend to
order a meal with all the options that come with it. It is less common for them to complain about
the food or have the waiter send dishes back to the kitchen.
Picking up the Bill

In America, a waiter will bring you the bill even though you have not asked for it. This would be
seen as very impolite by British customers, as it implies that they are being hurried out of the
restaurant.
Tipping
Tipping in England is optional. You will tip if you are satisfied with the meal and service, which is
generally about 10%. If you are dissatisfied, you do not need to tip and this is quite common. In
America, a tip of 15-20% is generally mandatory. For American waiters, tipping is the main source
of their income. Even if the service is bad you should still tip, but it makes sense to give a smaller
tip.
6. What would a waiter ask first in an American restaurant

(A) ? Whether you would like water or soft drink.
(B) Whether you would like bottled or tap water.
(C) Whether you would like coffee.
(D) Whether you would like a cocktail.
7. What is a waiter in Britain less likely to do?
(A) Check on customers.
(B) Ask for tips.
(C) Bring the menu.
(D) Take an order.
8. What are British customers less likely to do when eating out?
(A) Order salad without tomato.
(B) Order hamburger without mayonnaise.
(C) Substitute the drink.
(D) Substitute the menu.
9. How do customers pick up the bill in British restaurants?
(A) Wait until a waiter come.
(B) Put money on the table.
(C) Raise a hand and waive.
(D) Go to the cashier.
10. How much should you tip a waiter in America?
(A) Less than $10.
(B) About 10%.
(C) Between $15 and $20.
(D) Between 15 and 20%.

Doctors
When most people are ill with a non-life threatening condition they will most often see a General
Practitioner, a GP, also called a Family Doctor. These doctors generally work in the local
community in surgeries rather than in hospitals, so they are convenient for people to see for a
consultation. However, other GPs can work in a very wide range of areas, such as in hospitals, in
education and for insurance companies.
As the name suggests, GPs are doctors that do not have a specialty, such as a brain surgeon or cancer
specialist: they are able to diagnose and treat all the possible diseases and problem that one of their
patients might have. They can treat and manage most illnesses and perform some minor surgeries
in their practice. Then for more serious cases they will refer the patient to a specialist that will work
in a hospital.
If you are ill and need to see a GP you will normally need to make an appointment. Sometimes you
can just walk into the surgery and see a doctor, but that is not very likely as GPs are normally very
busy and all their appointment times will be fully booked. Often you have to wait several hours if
not at least one of two days before you can get an appointment with a GP. If you are too ill to wait
you have to go to a hospital and visit the accident and emergency department.
GPs also make house-calls. These are when the GP comes to your house to treat you or see a patient.
Most often a GP has to make house-calls to see elderly people who cannot get to the surgery easily.
They might be ill and need to doctor to give them medicine or it could be that the GP just want to
check on them and make sure that they are ok.
If you are ill, the doctor will normally prescribe you some medicine and tell you to go away for a
few days before you go back and visit them again if you have not started to get better. The GP will
also explain how you can have a better lifestyle that could prevent you from becoming ill in the first
place. They will normally recommend that you stop smoking cigarettes (if you do), not to drink too
much alcohol and to get exercise. Once you have your prescription you will need to visit a pharmacy
to get the medicine the doctor prescribed you.

(A) There is no difference, they are both doctors.
(B) The GP normally works in a hospital and the specialist works in a surgery.

(B) To make sure you are really ill.
(C) So the GP will have enough work to do each day.
(D) You will need to travel a long way to see them and the journey will take a few days.
34. What sort of person will most likely be visited by a GP in their own home?

Archaeology
R = Reporter, A = Archaeologist
R: I believe archaeologists discovered this pyramid in 1978.
A: That’s right. But we haven’t excavated everything yet. There’s still a lot to do.
R: Where are we standing now?
A: We’re near the north wall of the pyramid.
R: And why have you brought me here?
A: Well, recently we discovered this box in the ground which tells us a lot about the Aztecs.
R: Yes, I can see that it’s full of objects. What are they?
A: Some of them are pots or plates. They used them for cooking.
R: I see. And what else is in there?
A: There were some small pieces of gold and a precious blue stone called jade, but we’ve taken
them out now. The Aztecs used to do a lot of business so these types of stones were important. We
also found some small statues which had religious importance. And also there were knives. The
Aztecs used to sacrifice animals—and even other humans—to their gods, so the knives are probably
for sacrifices.
R: Did you find any bodies?
32
A: Actually, yes. The skeleton of a dog, but it wasn’t a sacrifice. It wore a beautiful collar so it was
obviously an important animal.
R: Did the Aztecs use to keep dogs as pets?
A: No, they didn’t use to have pets. Well, we don’t think they did. But obviously this dog was
important in some way. Maybe the owner used him for hunting.

Hi Mum and Dad,
Well I can't believe that another school year has finished. I wish I could come home and see you for
the summer, but I've got a job looking after two little children. I had applied for a waitressing job,
which was better paid than what I'm doing now, but they wanted someone with experience, which
I don't have, so I didn't get it. I started last week and it seems to be all right. The children are nice
and their mother Karen is OK, too, although I don't see very much of her because she works. For
my first day with the children, Karen thought it would be nice if we did something fun together, so
she asked me to take them to the zoo. I hadn't been to a zoo since I was a little girl, but I remember
that you used to take me quite often and I loved it. I don't remember though, why we stopped going.
Anyway, my first shock was how expensive it was. It cost twenty pounds for adults and fifteen
pounds fifty for each child but there was a two pound discount for students like me. Of course Karen
had given me the money – she paid for my ticket as well. The zoo was much bigger than I
remembered and there was so much to see that we spent the whole day there.
We saw every kind of animal you can imagine. Ryan, the little boy, loved the reptile house with all
those disgusting snakes and Julie liked the tigers, but my favourite was the elephant house. I don't
know what it is about elephants, especially the babies, but I love them. Maybe I should have been
an explorer or a tropical vet or something. It was absolutely brilliant! Maybe we should all go
together again like we used to.
Anyway, I have to go.
Bye for now

Pets
Many people like to keep pets. Some just have one pet while other people keep many different pets.
This often depends on if they live in a big or small house. If a person lives in a small house, or even
a flat or apartment, they cannot keep a lot of pets as there is not enough room. If people live in a big
house that has a garden then they will be able to keep more pets and bigger ones.
For a person who lives in a small house a small pet is often good. They could keep a bird or two as
these are very interesting pets. They have brightly colored feathers and make nice chirping sounds.
If you have a parrot it can even learn to talk, but it takes a long time to teach it to say some words.
If a bird is too noisy then they could keep some cute animals like mice, gerbils or hamsters. These
are all nice and fluffy so you can take them out of their cages and play with them. Fish are also a
type of pet for people without much space or time. They just need some food and their bowl or tank
cleaning sometimes.
People that have more space and time to look after a pet could keep something bigger that needs
more care, such as a dog or cat. Cats do not need to be looked after as much as a dog, but they get
lonely if there is no one there with them. They often like to have someone to sit with and who strokes
them. This makes them happy and they start to purr. If someone has a dog they need to take it out
for walks so that it can get exercise. It is good to take a dog out twice a day. Dogs need exercise so
they cannot be kept in the house all the time.
There are then pets that need a very large amount of space. These would be animals such as horses
or donkeys, it could even be a domestic pig. For these animals a person needs more than a big
garden, they need a field so the animal has space to move and run around, as well as grass to eat.
These are types of animals that would generally not come into the house and the owners would only
spend part of the day with them.

Halloween
Halloween is a celebration that happens on the 31st of October. It originally came from a Christian
religious day. The 1st of November is All Saints Day, so Halloween is the eve or night before this.
Nowadays it is mainly just an excuse for people to have fun.
The holiday was mainly celebrated in America and from there has spread to many other countries.
It is meant to be the day, and mainly the night, when monsters come out of hiding. This means that
people associate scary and frightening things with Halloween.
There are three main traditions linked to Halloween. The first is carving pumpkins, the second is
decorating your house and the third is trick-or-treating.
Pumpkins are big vegetables that go an orange color when they are ripe and ready to eat. When
someone carves a pumpkin they cut the top off it and scoop out all the seeds and flesh from the
inside. Then they carve a pattern into the outside of the pumpkin. Often they cut the pattern so that
there are holes into the center of the pumpkin. It is traditional to carve your pumpkin into a scary
face. Then when it is dark you put a candle or light inside the pumpkin so the light shines out of the
frightening face that was carved.
Then the pumpkins would be used to decorate your house. You would put them in a window or on
the front porch so people in the street can see them. However, the decorations have become much
better over the years. Now people try to make their houses look as if they are a haunted house by
making skeletons to hang in the garden or putting tombstones outside the house. They might also
make it look as if there are lots of spider webs. The people from the house try to make it look as
scary as possible.
Finally, children will get dressed up in costumes and go out trick-or-treating. This is where they go
to people’s houses and ask for sweets or candy, their treat. If the house refused to give them anything
then they would play a trick on the house. Adults do not go trick-or-treating, unless that are looking
after children, but do often have their own parties at night. At these parties people would also be
dressed up as monsters or anything else that is scary.

Weather in the UK
The weather affects everyone, and everyone has something to say about the weather. This is
especially true in a country like the UK that has very changeable weather. In the UK the weather
from one day to the next can be completely different, or even from the morning to the afternoon.
The weather can change from being rainy one day to sunny the next, or from strong wind and gales
in the morning to snow in the afternoon.
In the UK there are four seasons, spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the weather is different
in each of them. However, there is not a sudden change between the seasons. The end of the winter
season is the same as the start of the spring season. It takes several weeks for the weather to change
enough for people to notice the difference.
The summer is the season with the best weather. In general, it is hot and sunny with only a little rain
sometimes. However, it can sometimes be cold and wet for one or two weeks at a time. British
people like to spend a lot of time outside when it is nice in the summer. After the summer is the
autumn. In this season the weather gets colder and there are stronger winds, also it will rain more.
All the leaves will start to fall off the trees as it is cold. Frost might start to form on the ground
towards the end of the autumn.
Winter is the coldest season in the UK. The temperature will often be at zero degrees Celsius. This
means that ice will often form on the ground overnight where there were puddles. This makes it
difficult to walk sometimes. There might also be snow, but the UK does not get much snow, mainly
just cold rain in the winter. Then when winter ends the spring starts. The temperature will start to
get warmer and the winds will not be as strong. Plants start to grow again and new leaves form. It
is always nice when the spring starts as it means the nice weather in the summer is nearly back
again.
Many people in the UK complain about the weather, but as the weather changes so much it is very
interesting and gives the people something to talk about all year round.

Shopping
Shopping is a necessary part of life which very few people can avoid. It is a daily routine for some
people. Some people shop for pleasure while other people go shopping just to buy the necessary
items in order to survive. The weekend is usually a good time to go shopping because people have
free time from work. At this time the shops are usually very busy because people try to get the best
items for the lowest price before the item runs out of stock.
Some people go shopping more regularly than other people to browse products in shops even when
they do not have much money. This is known as window shopping and allows people to plan ahead
and save for the things they want to buy in the future or wait for the items to drop in price. Some
people spend a lot of time looking for bargains while others do not think of the price and are happy
to spend a lot. Some people believe that the more expensive the item, the better the quality, but this
is not always true. It is sensible to buy items which are affordable, but some people use a credit card
or borrow money from the bank so that they can buy the items they really want rather than wait for
it.
Sometimes shopping can be stressful when choosing a gift to buy other people for a special occasion.
It is common to buy a gift voucher so that a friend or loved one can go shopping themselves at their
own convenience. Shopping online is often popular with people who have a busy lifestyle. People
are able to order their necessary and luxury items from the comfort of their own home, or even on
the move. Delivery is usually free and items are often cheaper than in shops on the high street. The
only real problem is that the item description and quality may be different than what they hoped for.
This could mean the customer may become disappointed with the item they receive and will need
to return it at their own cost. People who go to shops to do their shopping often use self-service
payment machines. This usually saves time as the shopper does not need to join a long queue.
However, it can be frustrating when the machine has a problem and the sales assistant is not always
available to help.

Clothes
Clothing is something we all should wear in order to fit in to society. The act of wearing clothing is
a choice in some indigenous societies while in a more modern culture you could find yourself in
trouble with the police if you choose not to wear clothes. Clothes are easily accessible and can be
bought in most high street shops. Supermarkets are also beginning to sell clothes. Clothes are for
keeping people warm or serving as protection from the strong burning sun. Certain items of clothing
can be expensive, especially if it is made by a well-known brand or is a particular design. While
clothing is affordable for most people, the price usually depends on the quality of the material used
to make the item and its brand name. In most countries clothing is taxed, while food is not. This is
probably because clothing can be considered as a luxury item, especially if it is of very good quality.
The type of clothing that is worn usually depends on the occasion. People that attend a wedding
usually wear formal clothes. Men often wear suits and women wear dresses. Formal and smart
clothing is often worn in times of celebration. People often wear different clothing at work. Some
jobs require people to wear a special uniform which should be worn by all employees. A pilot,
doctor or air hostess may be required to wear a uniform so that all the staff can be easily recognized.
Other jobs are less strict and may allow people to wear casual clothes. Construction workers are
usually asked to wear protective clothing, especially when the site is considered highly dangerous.
People often choose to wear comfortable clothing inside their own home. This choice of clothing
may be very different to the clothing they would normally wear outside. Some people even stay in
their bedclothes all day on the weekend when they plan to relax and not go anywhere. People often
wear clothing which matches their current state of health or their age. Pregnant women are likely to
wear baggy clothes, while youths often wear tighter clothing to show their figure. Younger females
often wear high heeled shoes while elderly people tend to wear more comfortable shoes which will
allow them to walk with ease.

Sport
There are many different kinds of sports that are undertaken by a wide variety of different people.
Some people do sport for their career and other people purely do sport for enjoyment and recreation.
Some sports, like cricket, require the use of a lot of equipment, while others need very little in order
to successfully play a game in that sport. Some people use public playing fields to play sport for
free, while other sports such as squash, tennis, badminton and table tennis are usually paid for on
an hourly basis in the comfort of a local leisure centre.
Most sports are played with a round object often known as a ball. Some sports use more than one
ball and snooker is one of the unique sports that make use of a number of balls while being played.
The game itself is often controlled by an impartial individual known as an umpire in cricket and a
referee in sports like football and rugby. Most sports have a duration of not more than a few hours,
however some athletic tournaments can last for up to a week and a game of cricket can be five days
in duration before a winner is announced.
Some people prefer to watch sport. This can either be done by going to a stadium, a local leisure
centre, park or on the television. It is often cheaper to watch sport from the comfort of a person’s
home than to visit the stadium or a special event. Some sports, such as football and cricket, are really
popular in the United Kingdom but not in the USA. In the USA people often play basketball and
baseball. However, most countries put aside time to compete in world sporting events such as the
football world cup or the Olympics, which occur every four years.
Nowadays, people who suffer from any kind of disability are also encouraged to participate in sport
and most sport equipment is adapted to suit the needs of a disabled person. This means sport is
something that can be enjoyed no matter the physical ability of the person. The para-olympics takes
place a week after the main event and it is equally popular. Participation in sporting activity is
encouraged by doctors and at schools given the beneficial impact it has on the health of the
individual that participates, and it is for this reason and the competitive nature of individuals that
sport remains a very popular activity worldwide.

Legal
In many countries the legal systems are very complex. This is because they have been developed over
very long times. Every time that a new case is decided it can have an affect on future cases. This means
that the people who work in legal situations have to be clever. They have to know and understand all the
rules and precedents. A precedent is when a previous decision will have an effect on future cases as it
was related to an important point.
There are many people who work with the law, such as solicitors or judges. A solicitor is a lawyer who
spends most of their time advising their clients and preparing legal documents, such as wills or contracts
for buying and selling houses. They need to be very careful and make sure that all the details are correct,
otherwise their clients might lose a lot of money.
A barrister is a type of lawyer who works in court rooms. They will either work for the prosecution or
defense sides. If they are a prosecution lawyer they are trying to prove that the defendant (the person on
trial) committed a crime. They have to present evidence to show that the defendant is guilty. If they are
a defense lawyer then they work for the defendant and have to show that the evidence presented is not
enough to prove that their client is guilty and he should be judged to be not guilty.
Then there are judges and magistrates. A magistrate will hear trials about less serious crimes, while a
judge’s will be about more serious crimes. These are the people who have to decide what punishment
will be given to someone who is guilty. The punishments could range from a small fine up to a long
prison sentence, and even a death sentence in some countries. The trial happens in the judge’s courtroom,
so the judge is responsible for making sure the trial is run fairly and follows the law.
If a lawyer believes that a trial was not fair or there was a mistake in the law, they can ask for a new trial
that will generally be hear by an appeal court where an appeal judge will be in charge. Often appeal
judges will be the most experienced judges in a country, so they know a lot about the law and how to
apply it.
31. What do lawyers have to be? 34. What is the most severe punishment a judge
A. Nice could give?
B. Clever A. A long time in prison.
C. Greedy B. A fine.
D. Fast workers C. A judge does not give punishment.

33. What does a defense lawyer have to do?
A. Show that the prosecution’s evidence
is not enough.
B. Prove that the defendant is guilty.
C. Show that the defendant was someone
else.
D. Prove that the judge has made a mistake.

Driving in Different Countries
Although people drive in all countries, the rules can be quite different between nations and areas. For this reason,
you should always learn the laws before you decide to drive in a foreign country. If you are not careful, you can
get into trouble, since the rules might be very different from what you are used to. For example, you can find some
big differences in laws related to the minimum driving age, the appropriate side of the road to drive on, and mobile
phone use while driving.
In the United States of America, people who live in Alaska may obtain a learner’s permit (legal permission to
drive while being supervised) at the age of fourteen. This is quite different from the driving laws of Niger, where
a person must be at least twenty-three years old to drive. If you are curious to know the minimum driving age in
most countries, the answer is eighteen.
It may also surprise you to learn that not every country allows its citizens to drive, although most of them do. For
example, women are not allowed to drive in Saudi Arabia no matter how old they are. Instead, they must have a
male family member or hired male driver to travel by car.
Driving on the right or left side of the road also varies. For instance, in Great Britain, Cyprus, Australia, India,
and Malaysia people drive on the left. However, in the U.S., Mexico, France, and Canada people are required to
drive on the right. As a matter of fact, one country can have different driving rules for different areas. For example,
people in Hong Kong drive on the left, while drivers in other parts of China use the right side of the road.
Other driving laws that are different between countries include those related to using mobile phones. In Japan,
using any kind of mobile phone device is illegal, even if you do not need to hold the phone with your hands.
However, in Argentina and Australia, drivers are allowed to talk on their mobile phones as long as they do not use
their hands.
You might also find it interesting to learn that some countries have very strange or unusual laws. For example, in
the country of Cyprus, it is against the law to eat or drink anything while driving. Even more interesting is that in
Germany, there is a famous road called the Autobahn, where certain parts have no speed limit at all!

How to Trace Your Family Tree Online
A family tree or genealogical tree is a diagram that shows the relationships between members of a
family in several generations. Creating a family tree is a great way for children to broaden their
knowledge about great grandparents and other family members who have passed away or who they have
never had the chance to meet. For adults, it can be a way to learn about family history and how it has
affected their present and future lives.
Tracing and creating a family tree can be difficult and complicated to do, especially if you do not have
sufficient knowledge about your family history and only have a few old photos and documents.
However, digital technology has made it easier for you because now you can access online databases
and search engines and obtain the information you need within minutes. The key information that you
need includes names (common surnames or family names), dates of significant events (birth, marriage,
death, emigration) and places to locate records such as church registers.
You can start your genealogy research by building a skeleton family tree. For this purpose, you can go
to various sites on the Internet. After you have done the basic family tree, it is time to dig deeper by
going to more specialized websites that contain military or employment records, parish records or wills.
In this phase, you need to be sure of what you are searching for. For example, if you look for the military
records of your great grandfather, you should have his full name, date of birth and the forces in which
he served. Here are some sites that genealogists often use to research specific information: 1) the
National Archives site contains wills and naval records, 2) the Origins Network site contains
apprenticeship records, military records and marriage indexes, 3) the Times Online site provides
information about famous or notorious ancestors from 1785-1985 and 4) the CWGC site provides details
of servicemen and women who died during the two World Wars.
Of course, not all information is available online and you should not expect to find your entire family
tree in one place. You may still need to visit your local family history center and look at cemeteries,
courthouses and churches for more information. You can also make contact with genealogy communities
through their websites and ask for a piece of advice. You can use sites like Genuki and Cyndis List to
consult on genealogy research and find valuable information, genealogical material and links to
hundreds of other genealogy websites.

Halloween in Britain and America

The Halloween celebration originated from an ancient Celtic festival some 2,000 years ago in the area that
is now Ireland. It came to America during colonization and the American version of Halloween emerged as
the result of different European and Native American beliefs and customs being mashed-up. By the beginning
of the twentieth century, Halloween became a holiday for community and neighborly gathering, and
Halloween parties for both children and adults became the most common way to celebrate the day.
Today’s Halloween traditions include trick-or-treating and dressing in costume. Trick-or-treat has its origin
in All Souls’ Day parades in England, during which poor citizens would beg for food and families would
give them pastries in return for praying for their dead relatives. The practice was eventually taken up by
children who would visit houses around their neighborhood and be given food and money. On the other hand,
the tradition of dressing in costume has both European and Celtic roots. At that time on Halloween, people
wore masks when they left their homes so that the roaming ghosts would not recognize them.
Halloween’s main celebration is parties where guests wear horror costume to reflect the day’s theme. Among
teens and kids, however, Halloween costumes inspired by TV shows and movies are more popular, such as
pirate, spider man, batman, Disney princess and Star Wars characters. Party venues are usually decorated by
various symbols associated with Halloween, such as pumpkin lanterns, witches, wizards, ghosts, spirits and
characters from horror films.
Besides attending or throwing a party, many people, especially young adults, like to visit haunted houses.
Travel agencies and attractions see this as a business opportunity and offer special Halloween travel
packages. The Universal Orlando parks in Florida America, for example, feature haunted houses and “scare
zones” that last for weeks to attract tourists from other cities.
Halloween is said to be the second-largest commercial holiday after Christmas. In fact, Halloween has
become an industry and grown significantly in the past decades. The Halloween costumes and symbols lead
many stores and businesses to promote products with a Halloween theme, which makes Halloween today
more commercial. Retailers sell Halloween merchandise while nightclubs, restaurants and bars offer the
hosting of Halloween events.
Both in Britain and America, Halloween falls on October 31st but unlike in the USA, Halloween is not a
major holiday in the UK. Schools, businesses, stores and other organizations are open as usual and public
transport services run normally.
