Living in the Ice Age
I’m a scientist and I arrived here in Antarctica three months ago in December. The temperature is cold but not unpleasant yet. Since arriving, I’ve worked with about 60 other people getting everything ready for the Antarctic winter. It’s been a lot of hard work, but it was fun too. However, a few days ago the ship left taking most of the staff with it, and it won’t be back to fetch us until next December. So the hardest thing to get used to is that there are now just fourteen of us because I’m used to working in a large company.
I’m living on the same work station I was on ten years ago. It was new then and it’s still in good condition and unchanged. The dried food we get is also the same – you forget what real food tastes like after a few weeks. The people working here with me are all different from then, but I’m always happy getting to know new people. Ten years ago, we were able to send faxes to friends and family once a month, but today we can send e-mails and talk on the phone so we don’t feel so far away.
Last week we went out exploring for a few days. We slept in our very thick sleeping bags to keep the cold out. We always have to wear the right clothes and boots for walking on ice and snow. We were joined together by a rope all the time in case we fell into any holes in the ice. They’re too deep to climb out of. The skies were clear and I reminded how lucky I am to be here. Soon we will get amazing sunsets too.
1 What is the writer trying to do?
A persuade people to work in Antarctica
B complain about his life in Antarctica
C describe his own experiences in Antarctica
D suggest ways of improving life in Antarctica
2 What is difficult for the writer at the moment?
A He is working with a small number of people.
B There is too much work to do.
C The weather is too cold.
D The ship won’t return for months.
3 In the writer’s opinion, what has improved since ten years ago?
A The living accommodation is better.
B The food is more tasty.
C Communications have improved.
D His colleagues are easier to work with.
4 What particular danger was there when they were exploring?
A the cold
B the holes in the ice
C getting lost
D slipping on the ice
5 Which of the following e-mails did the writer send to a friend?
I’m getting used to being in Antarctica. Although people had told me what it was like, it’s still a shock to experience it myself.
|
A
There hasn’t been much to do here yet, so I’ve spent the time getting to know my colleagues and relaxing. |
B
It’s good to be back here. I’d forgotten how beautiful it is. I’m looking forward to seeing some wonderful sunsets. |
C
I’ll send you my news as often as I can. It won’t be long till I’m home, as I’ve already been here nearly a year. |

Waiter!
I went to the cinema last week and laughed all the way through the new film Waiter which is set in a restaurant. American actor Tom Waters plays the worst cook the world has ever seen and he employs one of the worst waiters, played by Joe Vermont.
The London restaurant where the filming took place does actually exist. Jane Connors, the owner, runs a successful business with many regular customers. However, although she thinks Waiter is a good film, she is very annoyed with the director. When she agreed to the filming, she wasn’t told that the film is about a restaurant where everything goes wrong and the food is disgusting. Although the film might make Jane’s restaurant famous if it is a success, she is afraid that people will stop coming because they will think the food and service is terrible – like it is in the film. Jane is worried she will lose business and may even have to close and start again with a new restaurant.
Having seen film, I agree that she has a problem. The film company paid her a very small fee, and she has since asked for more. The best solution, though, is for her to contact the newspapers. I am sure they will be interested in her story and it will actually help her business in the end.
1 What is the writer trying to do in the next?
A advertise a restaurant
B review a film
C explain someone’s problem
D take someone’s advice
2 What do we learn about Jane’s restaurant?
A It is very popular.
B The food is not good.
C It is in a beautiful building.
D The waiters are unhelpful.
3 What did the director not tell Jane?
A that the film would be a success
B that the restaurant in the film would be very bad
C that she would not be paid
D that she would need to employ extra staff
4 What does the writer think Jane ought to do?
A open a new restaurant
B ask the film company for more money
C improve the quality of the food in her restaurant
D write to the newspapers
5 Which of these is an advert for the film?
Waiter! Comedy film set in a typical American town. Laugh at the mistakes of crazy cook (Tom Waters) and mad waiter (Joe Vermont).
|
A
Learn how to cook and be amused at the same time at this film made specially for television by well-known cook, Tom Waters. |
Waiter!
|
B
C WAITER!
All the action takes place in a famous London restaurant.
Find out the truth about what happens in the kitchens.
Waiter! Sit back and enjoy the performances of Tom Waters and Joe Vermont in this comedy filmed in a London restaurant. |

The businessman
There is a story going round at the moment about a well-known journalist who went to interview Jack Parrish at a smart New York restaurant. The journalist was late, but fortunately, when he arrived, he found the great man was not yet there. On the way to his table, the journalist noticed a colleague from his paper and stopped to chat to her. After fifteen minutes, a waiter approached him. “There’s some young man at the door who says he’s supposed to be having lunch with you. I think he’s trying to be funny, because he says his name is Jack Parrish!”
But of course it was. The twenty-four-year-old is becoming famous for the fact that he doesn’t look like the owner of one of the world’s most successful computer companies. His manner is polite, his voice is quiet and his clothes are clearly not expensive. Two years ago, when he started his own company, no one had heard of him. Friends say that he hasn’t changed at all. He hasn’t even moved out of his parents’ house. So what does he do with his money? It’s all used for business. But some people in the computer world are getting nervous – and they are right. It won’t be long before someone in another company picks up the phone to hear that quiet voice saying that he’s the new boss.

C
D SPEND, SPEND, SPEND –
how Jack furnishes his
new million-dollar home

The Artist
People think being an artist must be a wonderful way to earn one’s living. And of course, there are lots of great things about working for oneself, at home alone, even in a cold studio like mine. What I really like is that nobody tells me what time to start in the morning. I like to paint as soon as I wake up, which is always early, but isn’t the same time every day. And nobody tells me what to wear, or whether I can take the afternoon off and go to a football match.
But then, I have no one to chat with when I’m bored, no one to discuss last night’s match with during the office lunch hour. Sure, I can spend the afternoon doing something I enjoy like cycling or gardening if I choose. But the work will still be there when I do finally get back home.
Unfortunately, working at home means that people can always find me, whether I’m bored or not, and once I’ve answered the doorbell, it’s too late- my thoughts have been interrupted. No one would dream of calling in if I worked in an office, but I find myself listening to friends’ troubles. As they talk, my ideas disappear and I feel increasingly stressed thinking of my work waiting to be done.
However, when I hear the traffic news on the radio, and imagine my friends sitting miserably in their cars in a jam, feeling bored, or waiting unhappily for an overcrowded tram in the rain, I realise that I really haven’t got much to complain about. I find a CD which will start me thinking, turn it really loudly and begin another picture.

A encourage readers to work at home
B explain why he has changed his job

A He has plenty of opportunities for sport.
B He is his own boss.
C He needn’t work in the morning.
D He has a comfortable place to work.

A have meals in restaurants

Lake Vinney
My favourite place for watersports is Lake Vinney, but is has only existed since 1975 when the valley was filled with water to provide electricity. Under the water is the village, Vinnthorpe. Last week I talked to Pat Smithers, who runs a shop on the edge of the lake and looks after the huge car park. She gets up early to travel her shop to sell newspapers and food and doesn’t finish work till late because of the car park. She said drowning the village was the best thing that ever happened, as it brought a lot of business to the area, and the number of visitors from all over the country continues to increase, especially as there is a new road which means it is easier to get to. When I asked people enjoying the watersports, they said they never thought about the drowned houses and streets. When I spoke to some people sitting in the café overlooking the lake, I was surprised to find they still get angry about what happened. They used to live in Vinnthorpe and were moved to other places in the area, among them thirty children who are now middle-aged, but they still miss the village. They say that nobody asked them what they wanted – they were told one day that everything was decided. They were separated from their friends and had to get buses to new schools instead of walking there together. It is a shame that these people lost their homes, and I hope something similar never happens again in the future. I would miss the watersports if they weren’t there, however, and I must say that I hadn’t ever thought about what was under the water until last week.
- What is the writer trying to do?
A describe what people think about the drowned village.
B persuade people to take up watersports on Lake Vinney
C discuss what might happen to take Vinney in the future
D explain why people like living by Lake Vinney
- What do we learn about Pat Smithers?
A She lives beside the lake.
B She used to live in Vinnthorpe.
C She often visits the area on holiday.
D She earns her living near Lake Vinney.
- What do we find out about Lake Vinney?
A It attracts tourists from abroad.
B There are lots of houses on the banks.
C More people are visiting it every year.
D Mainly local people do watersports there.
- What does the writer think about Vinnthorpe?
A He agrees with Pat Smithers.
B He feels sorry for the people who lived there.
C He thinks it should now be forgotten.
D He has always felt guilty about water-skiing there.
- Which of these is an advert for Lake Vinney?
A.
Come Lake Vinney and water-ski or sail. No ugly car parks, shops or cafés around the lake to spoil the views. |
B
Come to Vinnthorpe and stay in a hotel in the village. Enjoy the walks around the lake in complete peace and quiet. |
C
Lake Vinney is perfect for all kinds of watersports. Wonderful café by the side of the lake and plenty of car-parking space |
D
Enjoy water-skiing on Lake Vinney, but leave time to visit the old village beside the lake – nothing has changed there for 30 years. |

James
My name is James, I’m fourteen, and I moved to this town with my family three months ago. My parents lived here when they were young, but my brother and I didn’t know anyone here except a few aunts and uncles we’d met when we’d spent a couple of weeks with my grandparents, during school holidays. When I started school, one of my cousins, Sophie, who was in my class, was very friendly for the first week and I was happy to have a friend in a strange place. Then, for no reason, she stopped talking to me and I felt very hurt and lonely for several weeks.
In the end I make some more friends and I got to know them, I’ve been fine. Now Sophie is having a disco party for her birthday next week and she has invited me. I don’t want to go. My brother says he heard someone say she asked me because her parents said she had to. But my mum and dad say it would be rude not to accept. Some of my new friends are invited, too. How can I show Sophie that she can’t behave so badly towards me without causing a family quarrel?

B describe a family
