There are FIVE mistakes in the following passage. Underline the words that need correction and write them in the space provided. The first one has been done as an example. (0,5 point) Line 1 It is difficult to write rules that tell about exactly when we should apologize, but it 2 is not difficult to learn how. If we have done something to hurt someone feelings, 3 or if we have been impolite or rude, we should apologize. An apology indicates that 4 we have done a mistake and we are sorry for them. It is a way of expressing our 5 regret for it. When we apologize, we admit our wrong doing, usually offer a reason 6 for it, and express regret. The simplest way to apologize is to say, "I'm sorry", but 7 often which is not enough. Let's take a common sitiation. Mario is late and enters 8 the classroom, interrupting the teacher in the middle of the lesson. What does he 9 do? The most polite action is usually to take a seat as quietly as possibly and 10 apologize later. Naturally, more than this is needed, but this is not the time for it 11 because of he has already caused one interruption and doesn't need to make it any 12 longer.

Raising money for charity A. Housewife and grandmother I abseiled off a cliff to raise money for charity. It was an enormous challenge as I’m actually quite afraid of heights. It was only really the moment of going over the edge that was difficult; after that it was very easy. You just have to get into the rhythm and not go too fast. My son is very into climbing and things like that and he and some of his friends from his university climbing club set everything up and organised the whole event. There were about twenty of us who did it and between us we raised well over the target amount. It was a great success but I don’t think I’ll be doing anything like that again. Once was enough! B. Lawyer I ran a triathlon and managed to get over 50 people to sponsor me. I had to train for months and it was really hard work but well worth it. I actually enjoyed the training more than the final event because on the day the weather was terrible. In the months running up to the event I followed a very strict regime and it felt good to be working towards such a specific goal. I would often get up at 5 o’clock in the morning so I could train before going to work. Knowing that I was going to be able to give a large donation to charity made me even more determined to do it. It wasn’t compulsory to get sponsorship and giving money to charity wasn’t my maih motivation when I first signed up to do it but I wanted to make the most of the opportunity and all my friends and family were really supportive and wanted to help and give money. It was such a positive experience I’m going to do it again next year. C. Environmental consultant I cycled from L.A. to Quito last spring. All my family thought I was mad but I love cycling and I knew it would be an amazing way to see lots of really interesting places that most people never see. I managed to raise quite a bit of money for charity through sponsorship although that wasn't my main objective. I turned 30 in March and I really wanted to be doing something totally different rather than just sitting at my desk in the office. I wanted it to be different and something I could look back on when I am older and feel proud of. It is something I’ll be able to tell my grandchildren about and the fact that I was able to do something to help those less well off than me at the same time, well that made it even better.

(1 point) Mona Lisa, also known as La Gioconda, is the wife of Francesco del Giocondo. This painting is painted as oil on wood. The original painting size is 77 x 53 cm (30 x 20 7/8 in) and is owned by the Government of France and is on the wall in the Louvre in Paris, France. This figure of a woman, dressed in the Florentine fashion of her day and seated in a visionary, mountainous landscape, is a remarkable instance of Leonardo’s sfumato technique of soft, heavily shaded modelling. The Mona Lisa’s enigmatic expression, which seems both alluring and aloof, has given the portrait universal fame. The Mona Lisa’s famous smile represents the sitter in the same way that the juniper branches represent Ginevra Benci and the ermine represents Cecilia Gallerani in their portraits, in Washington and Krakow respectively. It is a visual representation of the idea of happiness suggested by the word “gioconda” in Italian. Leonardo made this notion of happiness the central motif of the portrait: it is this notion which makes the work such an ideal. The nature of the landscape also plays a role. The middle distance, on the same level as the sitter’s chest, is in warm colours. Men live in this space: there are a winding road and a bridge. This space represents the transition between the space of the sitter and the far distance, where the landscape becomes a wild and uninhabited space of rocks and water which stretches to the horizon, which Leonardo has cleverly drawn at the level of the sitter’s eyes.
4. Decide if the following statements are True (T), False (F), or Not Given (NG): 1. The French government bought the painting in Paris, France. 2. The Mona Lisa was painted by an artist named Leonardo. 3. The word “Giaconda” in Italian means “happiness”. 4. The countryside depicted in the background is also important to the meaning of the painting. 5. The artist liked to use warm colours in his artistic work. Your answer: 1. _________2. _________3. _________4. _________5. _________ Part 5. Read the passage below and choose the best answer to each question. (1 point) Wood has long been a popular building material in North America because it has generally been plentiful and cheap. Swedish settlers in Delaware built log cabins as early as 1630s. In New England, British colonists built wooden ‘saltbox houses’. Most of the wooden homes of Colonial times could be built with simple tools and minimal skills. In the early 19th century, the standard wooden house was built with beams set into heavy posts and held together with wooden pegs. This method of construction was time – consuming and required highly skilled workers with special tools. The balloon – frame house, invented in 1833 in Chicago by a carpenter from Hartford. Connecticut, used a frame of lightweight lumber, mostly 2 4 and 2 6 inches. This type of house could be assembled by any careful worker who could saw in a straight line and drive a nail. This revolution in building was made possible by improved sawmills that could quickly cut boards to standard sizes and the lower cost of lumber that resulted. There were also new machines that could produce huge quantities of inexpensive nails. Skeptics predicted that a strong wind could send such houses flying through the air like balloons and, at first ‘balloon frame’ was a term of derision. But the light frames proved practical, and wooden houses have been basically built this way ever since. 1. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To trace the influence of Swedish and British settlers on American styles of buildings. B. To stress the importance of wood as a building material. C. To compare methods of constructing wooden houses in various parts of the country. D. To describe a revolutionary technique for constructing wooden houses. 2.

Standard wooden houses of the early 19th century. D. Balloon – frame houses. 4. All of the following are factors in the development of the balloon - frame house EXCEPT ______. A. the invention of sophisticated tools B. the production of cheap nails C. improvements in sawmills D. the falling price of lumber 5. The word derision is closest in meaning to _______.
