My name is Kathy. I live in a small village and I go to

English, but my favourite subject is Drama. I want to

be an actress when I leave school. At the moment, I’m

learning my lines for the play my class is doing at

school. I don’t see many plays because there isn’t a

theatre near my village. I also like lots of different

sports. I think that tennis is great, but I’m not very

good at it. I was very happy last week because I won a

match! I work very hard at school and we get a lot of

homework – for example, last week I did a lot of

English grammar exercises and this week I’m writing

about life in my village in the past. I do my homework

as soon as I get home from school – I sit at the living

room table to do it because it’s difficult to study in the

bedroom. I share a bedroom with my sister and she

always says stupid things when I’m trying to study!

Then I usually watch TV or listen to music. I think

soap operas are fantastic and I also watch wildlife

documentaries. I think rap music is horrible and most

1 Read the texts (A–E) and answer the questions.

A Mario’s
This restaurant has got fantastic sea views and a romantic garden.
It opened only two weeks ago, but it is already very popular. The
menu is Italian and the chef worked in a 5* hotel in Venice.

B The Pink Umbrella
If you want a quick snack, this is an excellent place. On a sunny
day, you can sit at a table outside, under one of the pink
umbrellas, and watch people. If the weather is bad, there are
lots of tables inside where you can sit and chat with friends.

C The Cottage
This café is so popular that the owner is planning to open
another one on the other side of the city centre. It’s a good
place for tourists, who can go in there when they are on their
way from one of the city’s famous buildings to another.

D The Black Pot
There aren’t many restaurants or cafés in this part of the city so
this place is very popular. Two months ago, a new owner bought
the restaurant and the menu is now completely different. There
are Indian dishes, Chinese dishes and traditional dishes from
our own country.

Progress Test 3A

1 Read these texts about rock music. Match

sentences (1–10) with the texts (A–I). Circle the
sentence that does not match any of the texts.

A Rock music started in the 1960s in the USA and the UK. At

the time, society was changing and young people were
beginning to protest about various things. They were growing
their hair and wearing their own fashions.

B Rock music developed from earlier kinds of popular music,

particularly blues and rock’n’roll. Blues was the music of the
black people of the USA from the 1920s to the 1950s.
Rock’n’roll was faster and became popular with white people
in the 1950s.

C Rock music lost popularity in the UK in the late 1970s.

Many young people thought it was becoming silly, because
some rock bands were very serious and played very long
songs. They wanted music for teenagers to be simple and
loud and about the real lives of teenagers. So they invented
punk music.

D When rock music was less popular in Britain in the 1980s,

some rock bands continued to make records and do
concerts. They remained popular in other parts of the world.

E Rock music has played a big part in my life. I still listen to

some of the records that I bought many years ago when I
was a student. They bring back wonderful memories for me.

F Rock music has done a lot of good for the world. For

example, special events like Live Aid in 1985 and Live 8 in
2005 have raised enormous sums of money for the hungry
people of Africa and given publicity to their terrible situations.

G The great rock bands of the 1970s were a lot better than the

rock bands you hear today. Today’s rock bands try to sound
like the original bands, but they can’t.

H Rock music is here to stay. When it started, people said that

it would only be trendy for a short time, but people still love it.
Young people today love it, and in the future it will continue
to be popular.

Rock music is also about money. When it started, young
people invented it for their own entertainment. But record
companies knew they could make millions of dollars from it
and it has been making them money since that time.

It has been important to me.

It’s very easy to play.

It’s not as good as it was.

It’s big business.

It began because of social changes.

There were reasons why it became

unfashionable in the UK.

It has been helpful in some ways.

Rock bands stayed popular outside the UK.

It’s always going to be popular.

It came from other styles of music.

Lucy and Sally aren’t at home in London this month. No, they’re on the
farm, with the Cotswold family. And what’s life like on the farm? Let’s
find out …

The girls usually get up very early – at five o’clock! They feed the
animals and milk the cows. They love feeding the animals, but they
don’t like getting up early … and Lucy doesn’t like milking the cows!

At seven o’clock the girls cook breakfast for the family, then they wash
up. There are fifteen people in the Cotswold family, so it’s very noisy in
the kitchen!

After breakfast, the girls sometimes go to the supermarket. Or they
help on the farm. They like shopping and working, because they meet
lots of people. The only problem is there aren’t a lot of shops, so the
girls can’t buy any clothes! And there aren’t any museums or galleries.

In the afternoon Lucy and Sally cook dinner, for fifteen people again!
The girls like cooking, but they aren’t very good at it … Luckily, the
Cotswold family are very nice. They always say ‘Thanks, girls. This
is delicious!’

In the evening, the girls are often sad. Why? Because there are NO
parties on the farm! The girls always go to bed early. They hate it!

So, life on the farm is different to life in London. But Lucy and Sally
love the Cotswold family, and the animals. ‘It’s great here!’ says Lucy.
‘It’s different, but it’s fun!’ So does Lucy want to go home? ‘Yes,’ she
says. ‘Because there aren’t any cows in London!’

According to national statistics, around seventy per cent of people in
the UK own their own home. The other thirty per cent rent their home
or live with family.

Only about twenty per cent of people in the UK live in flats. Most
people live in houses.

Only twenty per cent of people live in the British countryside. Cities
and towns are much more popular!

Detached houses in popular places are usually the most expensive
houses you can buy.

Most British people say that having a nice kitchen is more important
than a nice garden or beautiful view when choosing a home!

People in Britain often live in houses with two or three bedrooms, so
most people have their own bedroom.

When landlords rent out their houses, they often say no pets or
smokers, and in some homes, you are not allowed to have children!

1 I had a fantastic day yesterday! I got up really early – about five

thirty. I went for a swim in the sea, because we’re filming in Hawaii,
and then I started getting ready for the day. I had a cup of coffee
with the director and we talked about the scenes for the day. Then
I found Catherine and helped her to get ready. It took me an hour
to do her make-up. Then I did the make-up for some other actors,
and then I just watched the filming. When the director stopped
filming, I checked Catherine’s make-up each time. I didn’t have a
lot to do, so I read a book as well. I love my job! I talk to stars, and I
visit beautiful places. What more can you ask for?

2 Yesterday was OK. I worked quite hard. I got up early and I biked to

the office. I was at my desk at half past eight. I had five meetings
and I made a lot of phone calls. I went out for lunch with a possible
investor. Then I got back to the office about three and talked to
one of my team, because she had an interesting idea for a new
website. That’s what I like about my job, talking to people and
discussing new ideas.

3 I had a really hard day yesterday, but I felt good at the end of it.

I got up at about ten and went to the gym. I started work at one
in the afternoon. I didn’t do anything for two hours – I just read
the newspaper and played pool with the guys. But then we had an
emergency call. There was a fire in a house. A mother and her son
were inside. We went to the house and helped the mother out. But
the son was upstairs. He couldn’t get out. He was only six, and he
was really scared. So I climbed into his window and got him out.
That was fantastic. Oh, and the guys put the fire out, too, which
was good! I love my job. I feel I’m doing something for people.
I saved that little boy’s life. What more can you ask for?

eighteen, and his wife, Anne, was twenty-six. They had three children –
one in 1582, and two in 1592.

Will lived in London for many years – but his wife and children lived in
Stratford. He visited his family in Stratford only once a year. He was an

Good afternoon. What’s your name, please?

Nice to meet you, Mrs Jones. And what were you doing
at midnight last Saturday?

Mrs Jones

I was in my bedroom, Chief Inspector! I was sleeping.

CI Bilton

And did you hear anything interesting?

Mrs Jones

Well, it’s funny you say that, Chief Inspector. I didn’t hear
anything, but I saw something.

CI Bilton

And what was that, Mrs Jones?

Mrs Jones

I saw a man – a young man. I think it was Mr Anderson.

CI Bilton

Hrrmph. And what was he doing?

Mrs Jones

It was very strange. He was giving some food to Miss
Stirling’s dog. A big bowl of food. I thought it was
strange to be feeding a dog at midnight.

Strange, yes, very strange, Mrs Jones. Thank you. That

Hrrmph, yes, I’m sure she is. So you were with Miss
Ramsey. And where were you?

dognapping and jewellery stealing.

Mr Anderson Oh, quite, Chief Inspector. I agree. I hope you catch him!
CI Bilton

Catch who, Mr Anderson? Do you know it was a man?

Mr Anderson Er, no, of course not. Oh dear – I have to go now. I’m

playing tennis at three.

CI Bilton

Goodbye, Mr Anderson. And thank you. That was
extremely helpful.

CI Bilton

Good afternoon, my dear. What’s your name, please?

Miss Ramsey Er, Tabitha.

And your surname, please?

Miss Ramsey Oh, sorry! Ramsey. I’m Tabitha Ramsey.

Miss Ramsey Oh yes, Chief Inspector.
CI Bilton

Now, where were you at midnight last Saturday?

Miss Ramsey I was in the kitchen.
CI Bilton

And what were you doing?

Miss Ramsey I was … um … waiting for Mr Anderson. You see, we

were having a glass of wine at about half past eleven,
when suddenly he said he had to go somewhere.

CI Bilton

A glass of wine? And then he had to go somewhere?
So he wasn’t in the kitchen at midnight?

Miss Ramsey No, Chief Inspector, he wasn’t. He came back at about

ten past, and then we finished our wine.

Aha. Thank you, Miss Ramsey. That’s very interesting.
