A Nora
I was unsure what to expect from my surfing experience. When I met the others in
my group they seemed friendly but I was nervous and found it hard to keep calm
as I was convinced they’d all be better than me. I struggled to the water’s edge,
my arms hardly long enough to wrap round the board. A week later I was up on
the board and surfing, not confidently, but I was proud of this achievement. I
realised that if I’d taken up surfing earlier, I’d probably be riding huge waves. It
was a shame but it made me determined to improve.
B Hugo
I was on holiday with my parents and surfing lessons were being advertised at the
beach near where we were staying. I thought it’d be a way to get to know some
people my age and decided to sign up. I’d never done water sports before so I
was expecting to find surfing a real challenge. But it seems that balance is vital
for surfing success. I’m quite a good gymnast and that helped so I got used to
jumping on the board and standing up surprisingly quickly. I think I might have
another go if I get the opportunity.
C Sylvie
I took a surfing course on a gorgeous beach with shallow water and perfect
waves for beginners. So I can’t say I felt nervous and I expected to be surfing in
no time. However, that first morning I was in the water holding onto the board
more often than I was standing on it, which was annoying. My enthusiasm left me
and if my teacher hadn’t pushed me to try again I’d have gone off to sunbathe. On
day three I actually surfed on my first wave, which was hardly impressive but it
hasn’t put me off the idea of trying again.
D Mikel
I went surfing for the first time with some friends and we had an excellent and
encouraging instructor. There were sharp volcanic rocks on the sea floor so we
got cuts and bruises, but that didn’t concern us much and by the end of the first
day we’d all managed to stand up on the board even if only for a few seconds. It
felt so good being part of that group and it made me try my best. But it was
something I did one summer and I have no particular plan or desire to repeat the
experience.

Questions 37–42
Read the text and questions below.
For each question, circle the correct letter A, B, C or D.
Our green spaces

A recent study discovered that over 75% of children under 15 spend little or no time in green
spaces. This is bad news. It also found that by spending time outside in nature, children are
more likely to realise that being responsible for our world matters. It may be that they also
become happier and less anxious if they spend time running, swimming or climbing in natural
outdoor spaces. And happy, relaxed people often use their imagination to do things like
painting or writing poems.
Providing Forest Schools, where children have some lessons in a natural environment, is an
idea that began in Denmark. Teachers at these schools believe the children learn all sorts of
things that they wouldn’t learn in a traditional classroom. And as children grow in confidence,
they start to make their own decisions about how to achieve any tasks they are given.
Compared with classroom-based learning, students are allowed a great deal of freedom, as
long as there are no safety issues involved.
In Japan, people of all ages go ‘forest bathing’. To do this, you need to walk among the trees,
smell the leaves, listen to the wind and really appreciate all the colours around you. You
could try it. If you do, you may feel you want to choose a good route before setting off and
that it’s better to go early in the morning when there are fewer visitors around. Actually, it’s
good to decide where to go once you get there, and any time of day is peaceful in a forest.
You don’t want to be interrupted by people calling you, so avoid answering your phone.
But spending hours outside every day to improve your health isn’t actually necessary. You can
spend as little as 20 seconds watching bees or butterflies in your garden to feel closer to
nature. If you want to know more about what you’re looking at, then it’s a great idea to enjoy
some of the many documentaries available online. If you live in a city, or don’t have any
outside space, you can grow all sorts of things – even vegetables – next to a window at home.
37 According to recent research, spending time outside

A makes young people feel more creative.
B reduces young people’s feelings of stress.
C is important for young people’s physical health.
D encourages young people to care about the environment.
[1]
38 Which statement is made about children who go to Forest Schools?

A They become more independent.
B They learn a range of useful skills.
C They feel safe in the forest environment.
D They choose the subjects they want to study.

A Mia
I started dancing really early, when I was three. In fact I still have classes with
some of the same girls. It’s really good exercise, but my favourite part is the
annual show we do. My parents always come and go home smiling and whistling
some of the tunes they’ve heard during the show. Some dancers take part in
competitions, but I don’t fancy that – I’m sure my feet would ache all the time!
Whatever you do, practice is vital, but I like doing that with my dance classmates
because it’s pretty dull doing it by myself at home.
B Pierre
My school was organising a running competition and as I’d not done much
running before, I got my mum to drop me off at the park to do some training. I was
amazed when the day of the race came and I was second. Since then I’ve joined
a club and go running most days, often in the mornings, which isn’t always
pleasant, especially in winter. When you’re training, it’s important to have regular
healthy snacks to keep your energy levels up. I also write a blog, which has
photos from events I compete in and details of races people can enter.
C Eva
I really love swimming! I tend to do most of it in a pool, but on holiday there’s
nothing I enjoy more than swimming in the sea before breakfast. I’ve just started
swimming for a local club – I’ve met some great people there. We train straight
after school most days, which means I sometimes end up having dinner quite
late. When we have competitions in different cities, my mum usually takes me.
Unfortunately, it’s a bit boring for her when there are lots of races, whereas I
enjoy chatting to my mates from the club between races!
D James
I started doing gymnastics as a young child. There’s a gym really near our house,
so I can go there several times a week. I’ve hurt myself a couple of times and had
to stop doing gymnastics for a while, but I’m always keen to get back in the gym
as soon as I can. I also love going to the pool, which I do twice a week for extra
exercise. There’s a café there which sells delicious healthy food. It’s no surprise
that I also love seeing the performances of gymnasts in national and international
events online – I learn lots from that.

Questions 37–42
Young radio presenter

Fifteen-year-old Mary Jones is one of the youngest radio presenters in the UK.
Mary’s teacher wanted all the students in her class to spend some time working in a local
company. At first Mary was unsure what to do, then one day she started chatting to one of
her mum’s friends who told her how much she loved her job at the local radio station. Mary
started thinking how great it would be to create a radio news programme for teenagers, so
she wrote a letter to the radio station telling them about this and asking about working there.
She knew her friends would be amazed if they heard her voice on the radio.
The management really liked her suggestion and soon afterwards, Mary was offered ten
minutes on a news programme. Mary could hardly believe her ears. First, she had to learn
how to use the radio equipment, which she found quite easy. When it was time for the
programme, Mary was quite anxious as she’d never done anything like it before, but despite
this she managed to speak into the microphone to hundreds of radio listeners! She must
have done well, because after a year, Mary was given her own show.
All sorts of people listen to Mary’s show, called News Update, which aims to make news
interesting, even for teenagers! Mary reports on the main news story of the week, but also
selects some of the minor, more fun stories that have been in the news. Mary decides on the
content herself – including which guests she invites onto the show to interview each week.
Originally, Mary only intended to do the show for three months, but eleven months later,
she’s still presenting it. She’s learnt a lot during that time and hopes to continue, at least until
she starts getting lots more homework, but at the moment she’s very enthusiastic. So far the
guests Mary has had on her show have tended to be people she knows, but she’s now
preparing some adverts for social media to try and get some celebrities to appear on her
show. She says she’s not sure if they’ll agree, but thinks it’s worth trying.
37 Mary decided to apply for work experience at a radio station

A because she wanted to be like a relative.
B because some of her friends were doing it.
C because she had an idea for a programme.
D because she knew she would impress her teachers.
[1]
38 How did Mary feel during her first appearance on the programme?
A nervous as it was all very new to her
B amazed how quickly the time was passing
C surprised that she’d been given her own show

Do you get enough sleep?
A
A new scientific study on sleep has shown that you might be happier if you get
more of it. It’s little surprise that scientists have already done lots of research into
this subject. They’ve shown, for instance, that too little sleep can lead to gaining
weight or not doing well at school. The conclusion of this latest study is that lack
of sleep may also change how you behave. Scientists looked at how much young
people sleep, then matched this with their moods and habits. They discovered
that someone who regularly breaks school rules, for instance, was likely to be
sleeping less than they should.
B
They found that children and teenagers who get less than the recommended
amount of sleep each night were more likely to show these kinds of behaviours
than those who sleep longer. Doctors and scientists recommend that children and
teenagers get at least nine hours of sleep per night. Those who get less than this
are sad or anxious more often than those who get a full night’s sleep. So why
does this issue affect children and teenagers more than adults? The answer to
this question can be found in the developing brain.
C
Sleep is especially important for younger people because the development of
their brains isn’t complete. This won’t happen until they’re about twenty-five, in
fact. The size of the brain doesn’t change much from childhood to when you’re
fully grown, but the way the brain is organised – how all the different parts
connect to one another – changes a lot. This happens partly during the daytime,
but also takes place during the hours that you’re asleep. Although these changes
are important for everyone, they are absolutely essential for younger people.
D
It feels like your brain switches off when you go to sleep, but amazingly, it’s
actually more active than when you’re awake. It’s busy organising facts and
memories and creating links between them to make locating this information
easier when you need it. Think of it like putting important files into different folders
on your computer. The brain also connects memories to feelings but it takes
longer to organise negative feelings than positive ones. Seven hours of sleep
results in your brain not having enough time to finish tidying up the negative
feelings, so you may wake up in a bad mood. The message is clear: Get plenty
of sleep!

Questions 37–42

A boy dancer
From the age of three, Luke’s mum took him to singing classes. He loved them and was
really upset when starting school meant he had to stop going. She looked for something
similar he could do when his lessons had finished for the day. After considering many
options, she chose a fantastic dance school which offered classes just for boys. Luke hasn’t
stopped dancing since.
‘I’ve tried football and tennis, because my friends play, but sports aren’t for me’, 11-year-old
Luke explains. ‘Dancing was a great way for me to continue enjoying music, but now it’s my
life. Seeing boys who are into dance still surprises some people, who can be quite rude about
it, but that’s fine. To my friends, who’ve grown up with me dancing, it’s normal. I hope that
continues when I start high school next year.’
Luke’s performed in several productions and his dance teachers are amazed by all the things
he can do. He’d love to take part in more shows, but it’s still rare for directors to choose boys
his age for leading roles. That bothers him, but he doesn’t let it worry him too much. He just
goes out on stage and dances. He knows how lucky he is when he’s chosen for a show.
Luke enjoys getting to know the other dancers in his classes and sharing tips with them.
He’s starting to practise more complicated techniques, but it’ll be a while before he’s ready to
perform them. Meanwhile, he’s just as happy watching other people perform. He goes to
shows whenever he can, but it can take him a long time to save up for tickets. His mum goes
too, but spends more time looking at Luke than watching the show. ‘He just looks so happy,’
she says. ‘I can’t imagine Luke not dancing. That may change as he gets older, but I hope
that if he ever stops dancing, it’s because he’s decided to, not because he’s been made to.’
37 Luke’s first dance classes

A had no other boys in them.
B began before he started school.
C were the only ones available.
D were outside school hours.

38 What does Luke say about his dancing?

My favourite hobby
A Emily
I absolutely love sailing! I became interested in it after watching my older brother.
He was a member of a sailing club, which I joined as soon as I was old enough. He
actually gave up doing it not long after that, so it’s just me that sails these days.
The club provides the boat and most of the clothing as part of the membership, and
a friend there lends me a helmet and warm sailing jacket. Otherwise, it’d be a pretty
expensive hobby! I’d love to take part in races one day, but I’m not quite good
enough yet.
B Marek
I’ve never limited myself to just one or two hobbies. Of the many things I’m into,
cooking’s my favourite. My parents both cook, of course, but they see it as
something they have to do after getting home from work in the evening rather than
as something enjoyable. Anyway, every Saturday, it’s my turn in the kitchen where
I bake cakes or bread just like in those cookery competitions you see on TV. The
ingredients aren’t exactly cheap, and I prefer to buy equipment I need rather than
borrowing it, but my parents don’t seem to mind, especially when they taste what
I’ve made!
C Asha
When I started playing computer games, I thought they were a complete waste of
time. Then by chance I saw an online video of a professional gamer playing
something called City Run and immediately wanted to try it. Since then, I’ve played
hundreds of different games. My parents got worried I was playing too much and
suggested limiting myself to one evening per week, but I managed to convince
them that I wouldn’t let my hobby affect my schoolwork, which it hasn’t. I almost
always come top of the league in the computer gaming club I’m a member of – I
hardly ever lose!
D Ding
My favourite free time activity is writing poetry. I do it towards the end of the day,
after we’ve had dinner and I’ve done my homework. My sisters and I choose a topic
and then we each try to write a poem about it. It’s not done as a competition, but to
help develop our poetry-writing skills. A couple of months ago, I didn’t feel like I
was making any progress so I stopped writing. I thought about taking up other
hobbies, but decided to try writing one more time, and enjoy it as much as I ever
have.

Questions 37–42
The lost ring

Harry Andrews writes about how his mum lost a ring on holiday
I was thirteen when I first went abroad on holiday. My parents had enjoyable jobs, but
earned very little, so despite saving all year, our holidays were limited to a week somewhere
close to home. Then Dad’s favourite aunt sold her house and gave us some of the money.
She loved travelling, so we decided to spend it on a holiday abroad. She also gave Mum a
gold ring with valuable-looking stones in it. Mum decided to wear it on our trip.
We chose Portugal as our destination. Stepping off the plane, I’d never experienced such
heat before, which I really wasn’t expecting. I was there for just one thing – the beach! I
hardly noticed the differences between Portugal and England, and learning about
Portuguese music and food and so on would have to wait. Fortunately, the hotel staff spoke
English, because I only knew a few words of Portuguese!
So on the first day, we all went to the beach. The waves were surprisingly powerful, and
Mum got knocked down straight away. I felt sorry for her, but she looked funny as she stood
up, her hair and face covered with sand and water. She ran back up the beach straight
away, so she wouldn’t get hit again, and it was only after she was back on dry land that she
realised the ring was missing. We looked everywhere, but couldn’t find it.
The next day, it was my turn to get hit by a big wave! As I fell, my hands were pushed into
the soft sand, and my fingers felt something hard: the ring! Mum screamed with pleasure
when I showed her. She said I could have any T-shirt or whatever I wanted at the local
restaurant as a reward. I chose the food, of course! We spent the rest of the holiday away
from the beach, doing some great bike rides together. We even went into a nearby city for
the day. So although the holiday didn’t go as planned, at least it ended happily!

Music website reviews
A www.mastermusic.net
The first time I visited mastermusic.net, I thought it was terrible. The music videos
all seemed to be from thirty years ago, so definitely not for teenagers. Then I
realised that I’d clicked on the link for 1990s music by accident! There are at least
fifty other links, organised by both type of music and when it was created. The
opinions that the writers on this website give on the latest songs and albums are
more interesting than anything else I’ve seen online. I’d like to see more
information on the site about starting a band, but otherwise it’s great.
B www.musicsourlife.com
This interesting website is great for those who, like me, love listening to and
reading about rap, hip-hop and little else. I really can’t think of a way of making
musicsourlife.com better: it includes reviews of every new song and album, and
you can even find cheap musical equipment that people are getting rid of, if making
music’s your thing. Most music websites have hundreds of sections that I’d never
use, but musicsourlife.com keeps things nice and simple, so finding your way from
one part of the site to another isn’t difficult at all!
C www.topmusiconfire.net
I can’t say that topmusiconfire.net is the easiest site I’ve ever used. It’s not that
there are actually many different areas on the site, it’s just that it’s not always clear
how to move between them. It is, however, probably the most up-to-date site I’ve
ever found, with daily uploads of videos, reviews and concert details. The site
focuses on bands that have been around for a long time, though, so I’m not sure
how interesting anyone under the age of twenty will find it. The regular competitions
are fun to do, but I’ve never seen anything I’d actually want to win.
D www.musicsthemessage.com
Me and my schoolfriends love this site because of the amazing things you can win.
One of my friends got an electric guitar just by answering a few simple questions.
He was actually going to buy one, but he doesn’t need to now, thanks to
musicsthemessage.com! There’s a wide range of film clips on it too, not just the
usual ones of songs, but interviews with the bands and singers explaining how they
wrote the songs. The only thing is, the pictures and sound aren’t always very clear
compared to other sites, which is a shame.

Questions 37–42
Plant-for-the-Planet
The winter of 2007 was unusually warm in Bavaria, Germany, where nine-year-old Felix
Finkbeiner lived. The weather had become the subject of conversation at school, so Felix’s
science teacher told the class to research climate change for a presentation. Felix
discovered two important things: global warming was badly affecting his favourite animal,
the polar bear; and that a woman called Wangari Maathai was helping to prevent global
warming by planting thirty million trees in Kenya, Africa. He thought this sounded like a great
idea and wanted to do something similar.
In his presentation in the science class, Felix carefully described how having more trees
would help the environment. The other students listened with interest as he explained that
people needed to plant one million trees in every country in the world. Shortly afterwards,
Felix started the organisation Plant-for-the-Planet to achieve his dream. “Back then, our aim
was to save the polar bear. But soon we understood that it’s not about saving polar bears,
it’s about saving our future”. In March 2007, Felix’s class were the first to plant a tree in front
of their school.
Other German schools joined Plant-for-the-Planet and within a year, their students had
planted 50 000 trees. Plant-for-the-Planet created a website and began holding planting
competitions and other events. These regularly appeared in the news in Germany, and
Plant-for-the-Planet became very well known. Soon the idea became popular in other
nations. In 2009, at a huge international meeting for young people called the United Nations
Youth Conference, Felix stood on stage with many other children from around the world,
each saying they wanted to help plant one million trees in their countries.
Felix is now working on Plant-for-the-Planet’s new goal of planting one trillion trees (that’s
1 000 000 000 000!) within the next 20 or 30 years. This is the number scientists believe we
need to replace forests we have cut down and prevent further climate change. Felix explains
that this should be done in a fair way because rich nations do most of the environmental
damage. They should therefore be the ones who pay for tree planting in poorer regions.
37 Why did Felix decide to start planting trees?

A His teacher told him it would help his favourite animal.
B One of his classmates gave a presentation about it.
C He found out about someone who was already doing it.
D The weather changed suddenly in the region where he lived.
[1]
38 What do we learn about Plant-for-the-Planet in the second paragraph?

B It soon had links with students in many countries.

Family holidays
A Amy
We spent two weeks on a campsite with direct access to the beach. It had food and
souvenir shops, so we had everything we needed for cooking our own meals. We
spent most of our time on the campsite and the beach, with just one trip to a
museum in a nearby town. That was organised by the campsite owners, so we
avoided having to pay for an expensive hire car. We enjoyed getting to know the
people who worked at the campsite really well. They always stopped to chat, even
when they were very busy.
B Benjamin
The resort was huge. Everyone worked hard to make everything just right and we
certainly had no complaints. There were so many activities for all the family. The
chefs were really talented and there was something different on the menu every
evening, which was brilliant! We met lots of other guests and we’ve exchanged
numbers with some of them. We’d love to get together at the same resort next
year, but for 10 days, not just a week like this time, because we didn’t get the
chance to do everything that’s on offer.
C Chrissie
The holiday included everything – hotel, food, entertainment – but I’m not sure we’d
do that again. We like making our own choices about what to eat. We flew this time
which was a waste of money: we discovered afterwards that going by train is just
as fast and far better value. The facilities were great, though. I spent ages in the
pools improving my swimming. There were some interesting day trips in the area
and I’m glad we did them, even though they cost extra. The markets were fun, and
I got a typical painting to remind me of the trip. We were ready to leave at the end
of the week, though.
D Dani
I’m glad a friend suggested this holiday. We were only there for five days, but it felt
a lot longer because of everything we did. The bike rides were best. Mum’s not
usually a fan of cycling, but she joined in with the rest of us, which I couldn’t
believe! We had a great time together! At a local restaurant they let me have a go
at making pizzas. It wasn’t easy, but I managed. Would we go back? Probably, but
next time with our car. Public transport wasn’t great and there’s loads to see and do
that we missed.

Questions 37–42

Making nature films

14-year-old Maisie Holroyd writes about her hobby
Two years ago, I started making films showing local wildlife. My parents were surprised by
my choice of hobby, as I’d never really been into nature or particularly enjoyed watching lots
of programmes about animals before. I was getting tired of most of my interests, which I’d
had since I was eight or nine. So when a friend started filming birds in her garden, with a
camera she’d got for her birthday, I thought I’d like to have a go at it too.
The first film I made was of some rabbits. They can run quite fast, but I managed to follow
them fairly well. I got over twenty minutes of film, then used the best bits to make the final
version, which was much shorter. I filmed in the evening, so it was quite dark, but the
pictures were much brighter on the camera. There were lots of loud noises through the whole
film, though, which I later realised were the wind, so it wasn’t a great success!
After making some better films, I created my own video channel and uploaded them. I’ll
never get enough people watching the videos to earn any money, but the number who do still
surprises me. Most of them encourage me, but there are a few who post things that could
hurt me – I just ignore them. Some of my older films seem pretty bad now, but I made a
decision not to take them off my channel, to remind me how much better my films are these
days.
My interest has led to me setting up the first ever film-making club at my school. There are
already about fifteen people involved, and we all help each other to improve our films. I’m
learning to dive too, as one of my aims is to be able to make videos of sea creatures. I can’t
imagine studying film-making at university or working in film, but I hope I’ll always have it as
a hobby.
37 Why did Maisie decide to make nature films as a hobby?

A She had always loved animals.
B She wanted to try something different.
C She received a camera as a gift.
D She had seen lots of documentaries.
[1]
38 Why was Maisie disappointed with her first film?
A The sound quality in it was bad.
B It was too dark to see clearly.
C The animals in it moved too quickly.
D It was shorter than she wanted.

A school trip to a museum

A Luis
On our school trip we went to the history museum. It’s a long way from school so
getting there by bus took ages, but that was part of the fun. What I enjoyed most
were the short films showing how life was over a hundred years ago. They were
really useful for a class project I’m doing. Mr Hall was friendly and chatted with us –
he’s quite strict in school so that made a nice change. I’d love to go again – I didn’t
see some of the rooms because it’s easy to get lost. But it’s too far away.
B Ingrid
If anyone offered to take me to that museum again I’d politely refuse, though when
I got there I wasn’t as bored as I thought I’d be. Mrs Birch, our teacher, was
enthusiastic and had prepared for the day well, telling us how people used to live in
the 19th century and giving us questions to answer as we went round, which I liked
doing. It was supposed to help us remember what we’d learnt in class, but I’ve
forgotten most of it. We were put into pairs to find answers. I was with someone I’d
never spoken to before and we’re good mates now so that was another positive
thing.
C Victor
I found some exhibitions at the museum really interesting. But we spent hours
getting there and didn’t have time to see everything, which was a shame. I’d never
been out of school with my whole class before so that first school trip was
unforgettable. I had a great time with my friend, mainly because we both realised
we should really be in class with our teacher studying hard. But I’ve always been
interested in history, so I’m not convinced it made me any more keen on the
subject than I already was.
D Olivia
I had a brilliant day. I’ve always been interested in the past and going to the
museum has made me want to study in greater detail how life used to be. But on
the day, I spent so long looking at one of the displays that I suddenly realised the
rest of my class had disappeared and I didn’t know where I was. Fortunately, a
friend came back for me. But because of that I didn’t get to see everything, so I’ve
asked my parents to take me back there again some time.

Questions 37–42
Are jetpacks the transport of the future?

By 14-year-old Safiya Mumtaz
I didn’t know about jetpacks until my friend explained that they were small engines carried on
people’s backs, making it possible to ‘fly’. Then I remembered that they’re the sort of things
everyone’s seen in films, but few people believe they are real. Therefore, I was surprised to
discover that now there are companies who are actually developing these machines to help
people in everyday life. They may be useful for some types of work, although whether they’ll be
on sale in stores soon isn’t certain.
Jetpacks are being developed for use in a variety of ways, in business as well as leisure. One
company has done experiments with the equipment over the sea between England and France,
to see if sailors could use the jetpacks to board ships. There are also plans for rescue teams to
use jetpacks to reach people lost in mountains and other places that are hard to get to.
With these exciting developments, will jetpacks become available for everyone to use at some
point in the future? If so, there could be some advantages. Jetpacks offer the possibility of fun,
exciting travel. They could cut the amount of traffic going through our cities and on our
motorways. Travelling could become quicker and easier.
However, there are also some disadvantages. At the moment, jetpacks are very expensive to
buy. They also need a lot of fuel, even when they are not travelling far. That means that jetpacks
cost a lot to run and create air pollution. They are very heavy and noisy too: the engine is as loud
and nearly as large as one you’d find on a powerful motorbike! In addition, many people have had
accidents during experiments with jetpacks. So, there are still risks using these machines.
It is exciting to think that we might all be able to travel by jetpack in the future. It will be
particularly useful for people who have to travel for their job. However, before that, there should
be a lot more checks to make sure that they are safer, cheaper to use and kinder to the
environment.
37 In paragraph one, Safiya describes a flying machine that

A people can buy in shops now.
B people are improving for use in the future.
C people have only seen in films.
D people will need for business travel.
[1]
38 What are some companies doing with jetpacks at the moment?

A selling them to people who work at sea
B using them to travel from one country to another
C bringing help to people in difficult areas
