The best thing about Port Mapé is the wonderful which
is held in the evening.

2 Reading

2.1 You are going to read an article about jobs that involve international travel. Seven sentences have been removed from the article. Choose from the sentences (A-H) the one which fits each gap (11-16). There is one extra sentence which you do not need to use. There is an example at the beginning (0). (12 marks)

Want to join the jet set?

You could be jetting off to exotic locations, staying in five-star hotels, eating in top-class restaurants, and it's all paid for by your employer. Who wouldn't want a job that involves foreign travel? (0)xExx The number of jobs requiring international travel is growing significantly. And citing business travel experience on your CV can bring enormous benefits.

But it's not always as exciting as it sounds. There is a big difference between travelling to Milan as a tourist and travelling there to spend a day in the type of hotel meeting room that can be found anywhere in Europe. It can be very exciting, but you need to keep your feet firmly on the ground. (11)xxxx Flights can be delayed, things can go wrong and it's easy to get exhausted. Many jobs mean travelling alone, so you can be lonely.

Simply targeting any job that involves foreign travel is not the way to start. (12)xxxx It's as illogical as saying you want a job that involves wearing smart clothes. Instead, you should consider all the usual factors, such as qualifications and experience, and only then choose a sector or company that offers opportunities for international travel.

The travel and hotel trades are obvious areas, but the commercial sector also offers good prospects for travel. In the retail sector, buyers often travel, especially if they work in fresh produce, where they have to check the suitability of crops. (13)xxxx Jobs in the engineering and environment sector can involve travel, too. Almost any career can mean international travel, if you choose the right company and role. The number of jobs involving travel, especially at middle-management level, is growing.

So what will help you secure a role with an international flavour? (14)xxxx A second language is a good indication of how well someone will adapt. You need to show you are flexible and willing to learn. If your company has a sister company in the Czech Republic, for instance, learning some Czech will boost your chances.

Find out what the company offers as a support package. Many now guarantee that you can return home at the weekends, or they will limit the amount that people travel each year.

(15)xxxx One company asked graduates fresh out of university to move to another country over a weekend, alone, and to find their own accommodation.

And it's as well to remember that international travel can be stressful. People can get burned out by international business travel. You need to be in control of your schedule, rather than leaving it to the company. You must ensure you get time to rest and talk to your employer all the time about how you are coping. Don't wait for formal appraisals or until they ask for your views. (16)xxxx Most sensible companies ask people to commit to two to three years. This increases the likelihood of success. And most people who travel on business remember it fondly.

2.2 You are going to read an article about five people whose work involves them living abroad. For questions 17-29, choose from the people A-E. The people may be chosen more than once. Write your answers in the boxes provided. There is an example at the beginning (0). (13 marks)

To the ends of the earth Five people tell us how they've found success living and working in exotic locations.

Emma While I enjoyed my job at a busy surgery in Oxford, checking people's blood pressure wasn't really stretching me enough, so I applied for and got a job with the Flying Doctor service in Australia. Practising medicine over an area covering 800 miles means you have to be good at dealing with uncertainty and multi-tasking. We doctors are dropped off by plane at remote houses in the bush, which we use as clinics. Common problems we have to treat are injuries after falls from horses, farm accidents, snake bites, as well as road accidents in the middle of nowhere. I wanted a job which would enable me to experience extraordinary places and people, and this job certainly does that. Heather I've had the travel bug ever since I was very young. As soon as I left university, where I studied journalism, I got myself an administrative job and saved up enough money to go backpacking to New Zealand. When I got back, I started job-hunting so that I could save money for another big trip, which is when I stumbled across an advert for a job with a publisher of travel guides. When I was offered the job and sent to South Africa to write a blog, I could have burst with excitement. I spend a lot of time in Southeast Asia but I'm still based in the UK and the best part of my job is being able to take time off to go travelling for a couple of months. Although I travel for work, it's not the same as a holiday, when I can switch off and don't have deadlines. Still, I can't think of any job I'd rather be doing. Jonathan I'm a graphic designer, and when I was made redundant I decided to set up my own business with my wife. The only problem was meeting the same standard of living - apartment, car, meals out. That's why I hit on the idea of moving somewhere in the world where you can enjoy the

same lifestyle for far less. In order to help us make the decision, we made contact through Facebook and Twitter with other people who have done the same thing. Moving around the world can be unsettling but there are high points too, such as living in the Caribbean and being able to swim in the warm sea every day. Annie I was on a business trip to Buenos Aires for a couple of weeks when I met an Italian who became the love of my life. Since I was freelance and he was a TV producer in Argentina it made sense that I would be the one to move. Despite this, the decision was agonizing as I was building a career as a newspaper correspondent and all my contacts were in London. There was also the issue of leaving my family, friends and home but I knew if I didn't give it a try I'd regret it forever. Fede took time off to help me settle in, but then I began to realize the enormity of what I'd done. Whereas previously my independence had defined my life, now my world consisted entirely of Fede and myself. Because I didn't speak Spanish very well, I felt frustrated and stupid but four months on I don't regret a thing. Phil As an engineer, I happily accepted an invitation to build a scientific research centre in Antarctica. Everything is different here, and we have only the basic requirements for human survival. From the moment you arrive you are faced with danger, whether it is landing in a plane on an ice runway or travelling across sea ice. However, seeing giant icebergs for the first time blew my mind. There are lots of surprises as well, such as suffering from sunburn and twenty-four hours of sunlight a day which makes it difficult to sleep even though you are exhausted. The main challenge is being away from loved ones, although you don't get lonely as you are living very near to other people.

DR MARTENS

From their modest beginnings in the early 1960s, Dr Martens boots have become (0)..... all over the world. Numerous groups of young people have adopted the Dr Martens brand as a (41)..... of their identity, from the Skinheads of the 1960s and the grunge music fans of the 1990s to the most recent twenty-first century revival.

To discover the beginnings of the Dr Martens brand, we must travel back in time to 1945 and the little German town of Seeshaupt, (42)..... Munich. A German medical doctor, Klaus Maertens, injured his foot while skiing in the Bavarian Alps. As he was recovering, he (43)..... up with the idea of making a shoe with a completely new air-cushioned sole for extra (44)..... . Dr Maertens teamed up with his old college friend, the engineer Dr Herbert Funck, and together they began to develop the idea, soon producing the world's first air-cushioned sole.

By the late fifties, shoes featuring the new sole were selling well in Germany (45)..... the brand name Dr Maertens, but the two men were keen to find new (46)..... . One of the adverts they placed in trade magazines was (47)..... by the boss of the English shoe manufacturer, R.Griggs & Co. Bill Griggs's company had been making footwear since the beginning of the twentieth century but were looking for something new. Bill bought the (48)..... to use the Dr Maertens sole and started work (49)..... developing a range of shoes and boots to use it.

It was the new company which developed features such as the famous yellow stitch and the (50)..... sole pattern. On 1 April 1960, the first pair of boots rolled off the (51)..... line in the Northamptonshire village of Wollaston in England. The rest, as they (52)....., is history.
