Task 2. Read the text below. Match choices (A-G) to (6-10). There are two choices you do not need to use.

ARE SCHOOL DAYS THE HAPPIEST DAYS OF YOUR LIFE?

6

Ron Parks: School? It’s a waste of time mostly — at least for me. The biggest problem is the teachers. Most of them are bored with their jobs, so they’re boring in their classes. If I had listened to my teachers I would know all about Shakespeare and what day the Civil War started and how to prove the Pythagorean Theorem and all that junk. But I wouldn’t know anything how to make a business deal or anything that’s really important»

7

Anne Potts: ”I loved school. All my teachers were wonderful: I learned something special from each one. I was a straight A student almost every year, but I didn’t spend all my time studying. I participated in many extra-curricular activities and sports too. I was always sorry when summer vacation started – three months with no school!»

8

Craig Estrella: ”I went to a prep school in Connecticut and it wasn’t easy for me to study there. We had to study very hard, and a lot was expected of us. The thing I remember most is the friendships. The friends I made then are still my friends today”.

9

Barbara Hamlin: “I went to a big public high school in the Midwest. We lived in a well-to-do suburb, so the school was pretty good academically. I’m sorry I didn’t

take much advantage of it. I wish my parents had let me take more science and math subjects. I thought then they were right and I was wrong, so I majored in literature. It was so boring!’

10.

Coleen Wilson: “School was just another part of neighbourhood life. My brothers and sisters and I went to a parochial elementary school three blocks from home. Later we had to take a bus to the public high school. And then we all went to a little community college. The thing I remember most is a constant changing of schools and colleges and a boring atmosphere practically in all of them. I didn’t remember any friends from my school years and it is very bad.»

What personality traits correspond to each school-leaver?

A hard-working and very sociable B active and generous

C bright in studying and very sport D shy and irresolute

E idle and naughty

_(not know) what to think of my brother Tom. He

(live) in London

where he

(have) a small flat not far from the city centre. He

(be) a

journalist and usually

(work) from 8 a.m. till 6 p.m. during weekdays. At weekends he

often

(spend) time with his friends. They usually

(go) out to a pub

or a music concert. However, at the moment Tom

(not work). He

(enjoy) a few days off work with his new girlfriend Jane. They

(visit) our cousin George

in New York. On Friday they

(travel) to Los Angeles because they

(want) to visit Hollywood. Next Sunday they

(fly)home. It seems to be OK, but I cannot

stand one thing. Jane is not Tom’s first girlfriend. He had a few partners before but he

often

(split up) with the girl after a few weeks of dating. I am not surprised. He is so

disorganized. He

(always leave) clothes on the floor in his bedroom and is often late. It

(love) each other

is so irritating. I hope this time it is going to be different. Tom and Jane

and I think they

(want) to stay together.

I

(meet) him for a coffee after they come back from the US. He must understand that he

cannot continue to be so messy and irresponsible.

(you/think) our mum should talk to

him too?

Most of our business and communication nowadays is (3) online, but what we (4) not realize is that there’s a downside to this trend. For instance, hundreds of post offices around Britain (5) closed, and it seems that traditional shopping malls might (6) as well due to the increase in online shopping.

However, online shopping isn’t without its problems. For instance, its impossible to try on (7) item of clothing online, and sizes vary so much from brand to brand that you never know quite what you (8).

We would like to believe what the sellers tell us, but we may need to do more research before buying a product. In other words, convenience comes at a price, but it seems it’s a price (10) we are willing to pay.

№2. Social networking has changed the way we communicate with each other. We can now connect with people (1) over the world in an instant. But is it as good as so many people seem to think it is?

Personally speaking, I’ve got nothing (2) social networking sites if people use them responsibly.

However, when people share too much information about themselves, you may end up with serious privacy (3).

This is especially true for younger users, (4) pre-teens, who may reveal more than they should. They may often do this (5) realizing that everyone can see what they’ve posted online — not just their friends.

Then, there’s the whole question of cyber bulying — where people use the sites to spread damaging (6) about someone. That (7) of behaviour is completely unacceptable. Something should really be (8) about this. I know that sites (9) you to block someone who behaves inappropriately, but is this enough? If I was a parent, I would do whatever it took

to ensure my child’s online (10).
