My sister Clara was always getting into trouble when she was younger. She could never
sit still at school and she was always talking in class. Her teacher, Mr Franks, thought
she was a (37) disobedient girl so my mum had to go to the school several times to talk OBEDIENT
about her behaviour. Clara behaved well at home so mum was (38) anxious to find ANXIETY
out what was going on. In the first meeting, the teacher explained that Clara hardly ever
paid attention to his instructions and that it was becoming (39) impossible to control her. POSSIBLE
I think this surprised my mum because Clara had never been like this with her. She had
always been a (40) curious girl who was interested in the world around her. At home, CURIOSITY
you could always have a good conversation with her.

For the next few weeks, my mum and Mr Franks paid special attention to Clara’s
behaviour and they soon realised that she was getting bored at school. Clara was good
at maths and reading, and the things she was studying at school were too easy for her.
She would often finish exercises before her classmates and she would become
(41) impatient ................ waiting for the others to finish. At first, my mum thought the PATIENCE
(42) logical solution would be to give her more work to do. However, Clara found LOGIC
it difficult to work alone and Mr Franks couldn’t spend all his time with her because the
other children needed his help as well. In the end, they took the (43) decision to DECISIVE
move her into the next year at school and things changed immediately. Clara became
much more interested and her new teacher said she was a very (44) pleasant PLEASURE
student to have in class.

Use of English
Task 1
Read the text and complete the gaps with one word only.

Remembering vocabulary

I like English, but it’s not easy to remember all the new words we have to learn – something (31) which/that is very
important if we want to do well. I’m not the only one – I’ve got a lot of friends (32) finding it difficult, too. Next
week, we’ve got a vocabulary test, (33) which will be worth twenty percent of our marks for this term, so we’ve
been talking about how to prepare for it. We’ve all got a notebook (34) where we write down new words in
class. However, although we’ve tried to learn the words in it (35) by heart, it’s quite boring. One of my
friends, (36) who is really good at English, suggested writing the words on one side of a card. On the other
side, you have to write the definitions. Then you look at the definitions and try to work (37) out what the
words are. Another boy revising (38) for the test told us about an app for learning vocabulary, which is a bit
like the word cards. The difference is that it knows (39) when/if you have learnt a word. That means it can help
you focus (40) on the words you still haven’t learnt. It sounds good so I think I’ll try it.

Task 2
Read the article and decide which answer (A, B, C or D) best fits each gap.

Work experience abroad

If you are learning English and you want to get practical (41) of the language, you should think about getting a
job in an English-speaking country. It’s a great way to learn English and (42) some money too, which you can
use to explore the country. There are several companies which will organise everything for you. They normally give
you a brochure to (43) through so you can decide what job you want to do. When you’re doing this, it’s
important to pay (44) to where the job is. Make sure you go somewhere interesting as you’ll be there for some
time. Once you’ve made your decision of (45) you want to go, you should make some preparations. Start by
working (46) what you need to take with you. You’ll need smart clothes for an office job, but if you’ll be doing
physical work, take something more suitable. It’s (47) sense, really, but lots of people don’t think of these
things beforehand. Another thing you should think about is money. You’ll need enough money to (48) with any
unexpected difficulties. You should also make sure that you have the correct (49) for the country where you’ll
be staying. Watch the exchange (50) so that you get the most for your money.
