HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT YOUR PART-TIME WORK?

A

I work in a restaurant next to the beach. It’s my second year here and I enjoy it most of the time. I get on well with the
customers. They’re cool. I don’t really have time to socialize with the other workers, though, as I’m busy all the time.
They’re all a bit young anyway. We have a three hour break in the afternoon during which the others go swimming.
However, I tend to stay in the restaurant as there’s a small room with a camp bed in it and I need the sleep because the
evening shift doesn’t finish until midnight.

B

I got a summer job in a shop this year. I don’t really enjoy the work as it’s quite boring although I’m not complaining – that’s
just shop work. I’d really like to be a lifeguard but there are no jobs around here. At least there are some good people
working with me. We chat together when we can – usually after work in a café because there’s no time at work. We’re lucky
to get enough time off for a toilet break or to have a quick bite to eat. Certainly there’s no time to talk.

C

I work in a garden centre. I love plants and I used to spend most of my free time there so I thought it’d be good to work
there. I remember watching the workers watering the plants and wandering around in the sunshine. They always looked
so happy and friendly. Now, the only time I get to go outside is on my break. I work in a large, hot, airless greenhouse and
spend all day carrying heavy bags of earth or stacking boxes of grass seeds on shelves. It’s dull and I never get to meet
anyone. As you can imagine, I don’t spend a lot of free time here anymore!

Find in which text the author

4.1.

gets on well with his/her colleagues.

4.2.

complains about the duties they have to do.

4.3.

says that the breaks are not long enough.

4.4.

stays at his/her workplace when he/she doesn’t have to.

DREAM OR NIGHTMARE?

We’d been discussing fame in our English lessons at school and our teacher had told us to write a project on one celebrity’s
problems with fame. Surfing the Internet, I was fascinated by some of the stories but, when my mum suggested it was time
for bed, I still hadn’t found one particular celebrity that I felt inspired to write about. As I lay in bed, I was still thinking
about everything I’d read, all of which made me very thankful that I was an anonymous person from South London.

Eventually, I dropped off to sleep but my mind wouldn’t let me rest. 5.1.

______

The media followed me everywhere and,

despite my inexperience, it was expected that I would win the Wimbledon championships. I was enjoying it but then came
the tournament and I crashed out in the fourth round. 5.2.

______

Headlines mocked not only my tennis skills but also my

accent, hairstyle and ‘dull character’.

Then, suddenly I was in the final of a different tournament. The media doubted my chances but I won. I won everything,
Olympics gold medals, Wimbledon and other tournaments. Suddenly I was a national hero once more. 5.3.

______

In real life

I might have agreed but in my dream I found myself alone in the middle of the ocean, desperately trying to hide. I woke up
in a sweat, relieved that my ordeal was over and knowing exactly who I would write about. Andy Murray, the tennis player
whose career my dream had so closely mirrored.

It was early but I switched on my computer and started writing. As I did, I wondered why the media seemed to get so
much pleasure from building people up and then knocking them down again. Any new sportsperson or actor or band
is immediately proclaimed to be the new Beatles, the new Pele, the new Marilyn Monroe. 5.4.

______

Then comes the

backlash. Inevitably, the chosen few turn out not to be as talented as the stars they were compared to. It isn’t their fault
but that doesn’t matter. The media turns on them. They even accuse them of being arrogant and believing the hype that
surrounds them. Now I knew that in most cases it was just journalists trying to sell a few more copies of their newspapers
or magazines. After all, it had happened to me!

A

For a while they are treated like royalty. They can do no wrong.

B

In my dreams, I was a tennis player. The best young player in the country, Evan Hooper.

C

Journalists who had written hurtful articles about me now lined up, smiles on their faces, expecting interviews.

D

This sudden mood change can affect stars badly. It’s difficult to concentrate when faced with such headlines.

E

Suddenly the mood changed. No longer ‘Super Hooper’ I was now ‘Hopeless Hooper’.

Tekst 1.

THIS IS OUR ISLAND!

We were in a small village on one of Greece’s less well-known and frequented islands. It wasn’t the holiday season and,
even if it had been, it wasn’t the sort of place which many tourists would visit. Greek children played in the narrow street
and the local butcher was busy cutting up large pieces of lamb for a local feast. In the restaurant, the only voices we could
hear were Greek although, not speaking the language, we couldn’t be sure if they were locals or rich Athenians who had
second homes on the island. The difference was immaterial to us, although probably not to the people who had to put up
with the influx of rich partygoers every weekend.

At that moment, across the square, we noticed a new group arriving. It was a family with two children, not much different
in age to our own. We tried not to stare but our eyes were drawn to them. They were obviously British; their voices echoed
around the square. Even if they had talked only in whispers, their nationality would have been obvious. It was something
about the brightly coloured T-shirts and the over sunburnt necks that gave it away. Fortunately, they sat outside a different
restaurant, a safe distance away. We regarded them with a mixture of horror, relief and amusement. How dare anyone else
from our country have chosen this place for a holiday but thank goodness they hadn’t decided to dine at ‘our’ restaurant.
The locals might hold us responsible for their ridiculous appearance.

Over on the other side of the square, perhaps a similar conversation was taking place.

6.1. The writer and his family

A

were on an island popular with tourists.

B

could tell the difference between locals and other Greeks.

C

were critical of the lifestyles of the rich Athenians.

D

didn’t know what the people around them were saying.

6.2. Which statement is definitely true?

A

The writer couldn’t stop looking at the tourists.

B

The writer could tell the tourists’ nationality despite not hearing them speak.

C

The locals assumed that the writer and his family knew the other tourists.

D

The tourists were also critical of the writer’s appearance.

Tekst 2.

WHICH TYPE OF TRAVELLER ARE YOU?

The world is getting smaller, so some say. Everywhere’s the same. But is it? Judging by comments made by tourists
travelling to other European countries, there are still many differences, some of which annoy and some of which delight.
It seems that the differences you notice depend on the type of tourist you are. Here we examine three types. Do you
recognise yourself in any of them?
There are resorts all over the Mediterranean which are dominated by one particular nationality whether it be British,
German, Italian or Polish. The beauty of this is that restaurants serve their own national foods, hotel staff speak their
language and stock their newspapers and they are surrounded by people who they can chat to about their favourite
television programmes. We’ll call this type the Homelover.
The Escapee is very different. Rather than surrounding themselves with their fellow countrymen, they are the sort who
delight in being somewhere where there is no-one else from their country. And, if they do happen to come across others
from their country, they complain about the area being overrun with tourists, unaware that the other group is having
exactly the same conversation behind their backs.
The Lost Adventurer falls in between the two camps. They bravely set out on their own, certain that they will enjoy
immersing themselves in the local culture but, after a few days, are desperate for more familiar companionship. When they
do bump into someone from ‘back home’, it’s as if they have met up with long lost friends. They chat and chat and, if both
sets of people feel the same, they may well end up spending most of the rest of their holidays together.
One thing unites all three. None of them are ever truly happy. The Homelovers have websites dedicated to their complaints.
One stated that: “There are too many Spanish people. The receptionist speaks Spanish. The food is Spanish. Too many
foreigners.” However, it isn’t just the locals who are the cause of their problems. One couple were upset that their ice
creams melted so quickly in the Mediterranean sun. Another complained that their children had been scared by the fact
that there were fish in the sea.
The Escapee is rather different. In their eyes, everything is perfect. Any problems can be explained away as being the result
of ‘a more traditional way of life’. Their complaints are all about their home country and, of course, if they do run into
anyone from home on their travels, they tend to make critical comments about their clothes, their children’s behaviour and
their inability to communicate in the local language.
However, it is the third group whose complaints are most numerous, even if not as amusing as those of package holiday
makers. They don’t like the coffee, the Internet connection is very slow, the roads aren’t well maintained and the hotel
windows let in a draught. Their views on home become rose-tinted and, after two or three weeks of foreign travel, they see
it as some kind of utopia that they were mad to leave.

Of course there are exceptions. Not everyone falls into one of these three groups. Some people can enjoy the differences and
appreciate the good and bad things about every country. I certainly can but why oh why can’t you get a decent cup of tea
east of the Channel Tunnel!?!

6.3. According to the text, ‘Homelovers’ like to go on holiday in a place where

A

there are no foreigners.

B

they can feel as if they are in their own country.

C

the hotel staff are from their country.

D

they can watch television programmes from their own country.

6.4. ‘Escapees’ are different from other travellers because

A

they get on well with everyone, locals or tourists.

B

their views about the country they are visiting change over time.

C

they are unable to speak the local language.

D

they don’t complain about the country they are in.

6.5. In the final paragraph, the writer

A

describes which group he belongs to.

B

makes a humorous comment.

C

makes a complaint about other countries.

D

claims to be different to all other tourists.
