EDUCATION AND MORE AT ELM LANE SCHOOL

A
Elm Lane School has got amazing facilities. There’s a new science block, a modern computer room, language laboratories
and indoor sports pitches. One thing hasn’t changed and that is the excellent standard of teaching which has meant that
Elm Lane students have consistently attained the best exam results in the area. The school is always oversubscribed and,
this year, has over three hundred applications for just sixty first year places.

B
We would like to thank all those students and parents who gave their time to help raise the money needed for the new
science block and language laboratory. We would also like to thank those whose generous donations ensured that the
projects could be completed. In today’s modern world, I am sure every parent recognises the need for such facilities and
appreciates how essential they are to the education of our students. Now that our academic facilities are all up to date, our
aim is to renovate our sadly run down swimming pool.

C
Some students choose Elm Lane School because of the sports facilities and we are immensely proud that one of our ex-
students won a silver medal in athletics at the 2012 London Olympics. We’ve got all-year tennis courts, a great gym and
three football pitches. That’s why we feel we should now concentrate on the swimming pool. Although it is true that we
could replace our whiteboards with interactive, computerized boards, we hope you agree that this can wait until the
swimming pool is again ready to use.

In this paragraph it states that the school

4.1.

prides itself on its educational achievements.

4.2.

will leave the improvement of one area of its educational facilities until a later date.

4.3.

needed help to finance its improvements.

4.4.

is difficult for students to get in to.

MODERN DAY SLAVERY

When I left school, I decided to pursue a career in marketing. After three years of hard studying at university, and spending
all my holiday time gaining work experience, I felt that I would be in an ideal position to get my feet on the first rung of the
career ladder.

I received several invitations to attend interviews and eagerly researched the companies involved as I had been advised by
my careers masters at school and university. 5.1.

______

However, they all then went on to say that, if I was interested in a

position with them, I would be given a six month internship, which meant that I would have to be prepared to work for half
a year unpaid. As my family do not live in London, that would mean I would have to support myself and find somewhere to
live. 5.2.

______

This was a shock to me and, during the first interview, I actually laughed when the interviewer said it as I was certain that
he must be joking. I don’t think he was particularly impressed. In the end, I rejected all the offers and returned to my home
town and the firm where I had previously gained work experience during my summer holidays. 5.3.

______

They weren’t

surprised when I told them what had happened but they were as disgusted as I was that hugely profitable organizations
were able to exploit young people in this way.

My advice is to reject any kind of internship you may be offered. There are minimum wage laws which firms must follow
but which they get round by asking interns to sign a form saying that they are ‘volunteers’. Secondly, they are no guarantee
that the company will offer you work at the end of the six months. 5.4.

______

And even if you were taken on properly,

would you want to work for a company that had such a low regard for its workforce?

A

Some people have been replaced by a new intake of unpaid ‘volunteers’. Others have been offered another six months of
unpaid work.

B

Despite the promise of future riches, this would have meant more debts on top of the ones I had already amassed as
a student.

C

Although they were a small company, and could not offer London salaries, they had always paid me something, even as
a student.

D

However, the companies involved know that, with current high unemployment levels, there will always be someone who will
agree.

E

These went well until the end. In all of them, I was given the impression that I would a valuable member of staff and could
look forward to a glittering career.

Tekst 1.

NOT HER EQUAL?

“I have reason to think,” Mr Knightley said, “that Harriet Smith will soon have an offer of marriage. Robert Martin is the
man. He is desperately in love and means to marry her.”

“He is very pleasant,” said Emma, “but is he sure that Harriet means to marry him?”

“Well, well, he means to make her an offer then. Will that do? He came to the Abbey two evenings ago, on purpose to
consult me about it. He knows I have a high regard for him and all his family, and, I believe, he considers me to be one
of his best friends. He came to ask me whether I thought it would be a mistake for him to settle down so early; whether
I thought her too young: in short, whether I approved his choice. He is an excellent young man, and I had no hesitation
in putting his mind at rest on all these matters. He proved to me that he could afford it; and that being the case, I was
convinced he could not do better. I praised the fair lady too, and altogether sent him away very happy. This happened the
night before last so I imagine he is asking her today.”

“How do you know that Mr. Martin did not speak yesterday?” said Emma, who had been smiling to herself through a great
part of this speech.

“Certainly,” replied he, surprised, “I do not absolutely know it; but wasn’t she the whole day with you?”

“I will tell you something, in return for what you have told me” said Emma. “He did speak yesterday – that is, he wrote, and
was refused.”

Mr. Knightley actually looked red with surprise and displeasure, as he stood up and said, “Then she is a greater fool than
I ever believed her. Why?”

“Oh! To be sure,” cried Emma, “it is always incomprehensible to a man that a woman should ever refuse an offer of
marriage. A man always imagines a woman to be ready for anybody who asks her.”

“Nonsense! A man does not imagine any such thing. But what is the meaning of this? Harriet Smith refuse Robert Martin?
It is madness if it is so, but I hope you are mistaken.”

“I saw her answer! – nothing could be clearer.”

“You saw her answer! – you wrote her answer too. Emma, this is your doing. You persuaded her to refuse him.”

“And if I did, (which, however, I am far from admitting) I should not feel that I had done wrong. Mr. Martin is a very
respectable young man, but I cannot admit him to be Harriet’s equal.”

“Not Harriet’s equal!” exclaimed Mr. Knightley loudly. And then, speaking more calmly, added, a few moments afterwards,
“No, he is not her equal indeed, for he is as much her superior in sense as in situation. Emma, your infatuation about that
girl blinds you. What are Harriet Smith’s claims, either of birth, nature or education, to any partner higher than Robert
Martin? She is not a sensible girl, nor a girl of any information. She has been taught nothing useful, and is too young and
too simple to have acquired anything herself. She is pretty, and she is good tempered, and that is all. My only worry in
advising the match was on his account.”

Adapted from: Jane Austen, Emma, Chapter 8

Tekst 2.

MATCHMAKING

Matchmaking, to me, sounds like something from a nineteenth century novel. However, matchmakers really did exist and
there is still a place for the matchmaker in the 21st century. The difference is that, whereas two hundred years ago, the
matchmaker was generally a woman of the village who knew everyone’s business, nowadays, the matchmaker is a website
bringing lonely, desperate people together.

Getting married through a matchmaker is different to an arranged marriage as the two people involved still have a choice.
However, the skilled matchmaker examines factors such as interests, background, religion, age and political views and
brings together people who are likely to get on. It doesn’t always work, but that’s more likely to be the fault of the people
involved than computer technology. Unfortunately, in my experience, on the Internet, people aren’t always entirely honest.
The matchmaker in a small village couldn’t be fooled but a computer can.

Many lonely hearts websites try to persuade people to sign up by talking about the science of matchmaking. Not everyone
is convinced. They say that love is rarely logical and depends on more than just a shared love of gardening or the films of
Woody Allen. Indeed, many still believe in the idea of love at first sight. If a person makes your pulse race and your heart
beat faster when you first set eyes on them, he or she may be the one for you, whatever you subsequently find out about
him/her.

6.4. Which is an opinion according to the text?

A

Computer technology has made matchmaking more successful than it was in the past.

B

People who use computer matchmaking services are desperate for love.

C

Dishonesty is more common on the Internet than in normal life.

D

Using a matchmaker is not the same as an arranged marriage.

6.5. From both texts we learn

A

that people are not always truthful about themselves.

B

that men and women look for different qualities in a partner.

C

about factors influencing people’s choices of a future spouse.

D

how marriages were arranged in the past.
