(10 points) Contents (7,5 points) The summary should: - Introduce the topic of the passage - Present the main ideas of the passage Language use (2,5 points) The summary should: - Demonstrate a wide variety of vocabulary and grammatical structures - Have correct use of words and mechanics Maintain coherence and unity throughout Model answer Despite its economic boom, the conditions in Bombay are always chaotic. The existing buildings in Bombay are overly inhabited by the large population. With more immigrants flooding in, the emergence of slums is inevitable. The "houses" there, are actually shacks made from unwanted materials like tarpaulin and cardboard. These shacks flooded the streets, creating a maze, with spaces passable only if one walks sideways. The two stories, small huts, divided by rough platforms, often have low ceilings which are no more than five feet from the ground. These shabby huts are also barely furnished. Kids are usually seen running around with minimal clothes on them. Furthermore, traffic jams, usually caused by old, shabby taxis are common, daily sights there. Part 2 (15 points) Contents (10 points) The report should: - Introduce the line chart and the bar chart and state their striking features. - Summarise the main features with relevant data from the charts. - Make relevant comparisons. Language use (5 points) The report should: - Demonstrate a wide variety of vocabulary and grammatical structures - Have correct use of words and mechanics - Maintain coherence, cohesion and unity throughout Model answer The line graph compares the number of visits abroad by UK people and the number of trips to the UK by foreign travellers. The bar chart gives information about five most common countries that UK people travelled to in 1999. It is clear that both the figures of visits abroad by UK residents and journeys to the UK by overseas travellers increased during the research period. Additionally, France was the most popular destination for UK travellers. In 1979, there were around 12 million visits to other countries made by UK citizens, while approximately 10 million journeys to the UK were made by foreign tourists. In 1999, both these figures experienced rises to more than 50 million and nearly 30 million respectively. Trang 3/4 In 1999, the quantity of UK people travelling to France was highest, at just over 10 million, while Turkey was the least common choice with only about 2 million UK visitors. While Spain welcomed nearly 10 million UK visitors, the figures for Greece and USA were significantly lower, at around 3 million and 4 million respectively. Part 3 (25 points) Task achievement (10 points) The essay should: - Sufficiently address all requirements of the task. - Develop relevant supporting ideas with explanations, examples, evidence, etc… Organization (8 points) The essay should have: - An introduction presenting a clear thesis statement introducing the points to be developed. - Body paragraphs developing the points mentioned in the introduction. - A conclusion summarizing the main points discussed in the essay. Language use (7 points) The essay should: - Demonstrate a wide variety of vocabulary and grammatical structures. - Have correct use of words and mechanics. - Maintain coherence, cohesion and unity throughout. ----------------------- HẾT ------------------------ Trang 4/4 Part I Interviewer: Jed Stone’s best known now for his talents as a garden designer – but he and his wife Helena ran a highly successful jewellery business in the nineteen nineties, which brought them fame and high living. Then they lost it all and, some years later, bought a derelict house which they renovated and now together they’ve created a garden. They join me in the studio today. You do seem to do most things in partnership, like the jewellery business, but using Jed’s name. Why’s that? Helena? Helena: Well, this is a bit of a bone of contention, actually. We have a friend in PR who said, “You have a great name, Jed Stone. People would pay a fortune for such a good name.’ But, sadly, at the time, it never crossed my mind that I wouldn’t get the credit for what we do, and that does get to me sometimes [1] – but, there again, I’m very bad at putting myself forward. People see Jed as a figurehead, which is fine, actually, because I don’t enjoy being recognised or get any thrill out of that, whereas Jed loves it. Interviewer: Is that right, Jed? Jed: Obviously, I’d love to say, ‘No, I don’t,’ but yeah, I do. Even as a child, I thought it must be marvellous to walk down a street and have people know who you were. Ironically, that’s the worst of it now. It would be nice just to go and buy a paper without somebody saying something. But I suppose I do like being a public figure. It gives me a sense that I’ve done something people appreciate [2]. It doesn’t stop me doing anything, but it does modify how I do it. Interviewer: But Helena, you did appear on our television screens briefly as a presenter on The Travel Show. That must have been a dream job, travelling around the world? Helena: Actually, I thought I was being heroic taking that job. I’d actually rather have gone down a coal mine. It was ironic really, because Jed adores travelling, whilst I hate it. The timing was critical though; I mean, we were living in this derelict house. We’d knocked huge holes in the walls to make windows and we could hardly afford to get the job finished and I wanted to be there when it was done. So I genuinely didn’t want to do the job they were offering, but I felt I had no choice [3] because, apart from anything else, it would provide us with a reasonable income. Interviewer: So what about this jewel garden? Did you have a clear idea of what you wanted to do when you bought the house? Jed: Not at all. In fact, we were provoked into action. I was giving a lecture on gardening and I was including some snaps of our own wilderness to show what certain plants looked like. But these photos hadn’t loaded onto my laptop properly, and you couldn’t see a thing. So I started to make it all up – describing this jewel garden with magical colours – it came straight out of my imagination, it hadn’t been a long-term plan or anything. Anyway, as soon as I’d finished, these journalists came rushing up saying, ‘We must come and take pictures of your jewel garden.’ And I heard myself replying, ‘Fine, but come when the colours are good, don’t come now.’ To cut a long story short, we had to make the jewel garden before they came, and actually, we did ninety per cent of the work that summer [0]. That was our incentive! Interviewer: And why did you call it a ‘jewel garden’? Having read about the disasters with the jewellery business, one would have thought you wouldn’t want the word ‘jewel’ in your house at all. Helena: Well, I like to work on projects and if you have a project where you’re thinking only of jewel colours then that starts to limit you, and design is all about reduction. Really it was just a good, positive way of tackling what plants we were putting in, and the way we were going to design the garden [4], wasn’t it, Jed? Jed: Yeah. But for me it was also partly a metaphor, it’s making something worthwhile out of a failure. We did spend years doing the jewellery and it wasn’t all disastrous; there were good things about it too and we wanted to salvage them and treasure them. It seemed a waste not to take that bit Trang 5/4 of our lives and to somehow incorporate it into our new design venture [5] – to take the bad experience and use it in a creative way. Jed and Helena, thank you for telling us about it today. Part 2 FCE Dolls have always fascinated me, and that’s why, five years ago, I was delighted to be offered the job of running a doll museum. Dolls have existed for thousands of years, and the earliest dolls we know about were found in graves in ancient Egypt. I only wish we could get one or two for our museum, but we haven’t unfortunately got anything as old as that in the museum. All the same, we have got examples from Europe from the twelfth century, but my favourite early dolls are actually from the seventeenth century. They interest me not just because they are early, or fairly early, but also because of the clothes they’re wearing. They have their original clothes, and from them we know what the owners wore, since dolls in those days were always dressed like their owners. They were made of the only material readily available for things like this the time: sold wood, and they were painted in great detail. In fact, on the best examples, like the ones in the museum, the detail includes the seventeenth-century make-up. Dolls like these were very expensive then, and only the very rich could afford them. These days, they’re popular with collectors and if you want one today, you have to pay anything up to ten thousand pounds for a doll in perfect condition from this time! By the way, what makes them so valuable is that, a far as a collector is concerned, a doll is only worth collecting if it’s in perfect condition, and that means having the original clothes. Doll collecting has become very fashionable since the museum opened, with people interested in doll from every period, including later dolls. There’s great interest in nineteenth-century examples, when dolls were no longer made of wood, but began to have soft bodies and real hair. They were very delicate and few have survived, meaning such a doll would be worth about two thousand pounds, perhaps a bit more. Later, in the nineteenth century, you could often take off the doll’s hair. If you can, you can often see the maker’s name underneath, and of course the right one increases a doll’s value. There was a really big change in dolls at the beginning of the twentieth century. In the museum we have one of the earliest examples, from about 1909, of a doll that’s a model of a baby. Previously all dolls, the earlier ones, were little adults. That’s just one of the changes that have occurred in the last hundred years. Another, again, is to do with what dolls are made of. Although dolls with soft bodies continued, after about 1930, plastic began to be used. In fact, dolls from the 1930s and 40s are now very popular with collectors, some of them selling for very, very high prices. Trang 6/4
