One theory continues that over 3500 years ago people transported huge stones from Wales to
build Stonehenge on Salisbury Plain. It would have been an amazing accomplishment, with people
carrying the stones over 200 miles.
It is believed that Stonehenge was built by people who worshipped the sun. In the summer the sun
rises over a particular stone and shines directly onto the centre altar.
For centuries people came to explore Stonehenge and to try to understand its mysteries. Today,
however, it is not allowed to come close to the stones and police guard the area to prevent tourists
from getting too close.

minutes or less. The ingredients are prepared in advance and are usually of a poor quality. (Pause
40 seconds)

ring the doorbell of their neighbours and ask, “trick or treat?” If someone gives the children sweets,
they continue on to the next house to get more. However, if someone gives the children nothing,

In the past British rulers believed that God had chosen them to lead the country of England. In
the 1600s, King Charles I believed that he had absolute power. The jealous English Parliament
disagreed. They followed a man called Oliver Cromwell, and declared war on the king and murdered
him in 1649. Shortly after, Cromwell became a dictator.
However, for 11 years England enjoyed its only years as a republic. However, after Cromwell’s death,
Parliament invited the murdered king’s son to return to England. Once again there was a king in
England and to this day the British people still consider themselves subjects of the crown even
though they live under a powerful Parliament.

Charles Dickens was the most popular English novelist in the nineteenth century. When he was
twelve years old, Dickens worked in a factory. That is why his novels often tell stories about young
people who are very poor and live in terrible conditions.
Most of the writer’s books first appeared as serials in magazines. He was paid by the word, which
is why his books often have very long descriptive passages. Each month he wrote the next chapter
for his story, and this meant that he could change the plot of his book based on whether his readers
liked his story or not.

For example, Golf was first played in Scotland in the fifteenth century, and the golf club in Saint
Andrews is still viewed as the leading authority on golf in the world.
The game of cricket was also first played in England in the sixteenth century, and football, rugby, and
hockey were all created in England in the nineteenth century. With their great Empire in the 1800s,
they were able to export these games across the globe. Without the British, football might not have

In the UK anyone over the age of 18 can vote in a general election. The country is divided into
regions, and people vote for candidates in the areas where they live. The person who wins becomes
an MP in the House of Commons. Due to the fact that the winner only needs to have one more vote
than his or her opponent, this is called the first past the post system.
The electoral process has ensured that two parties dominate the political landscape of the UK. The
left-wing Labour Party and the right-wing Conservative party hold the majority of MP seats. There
is a centrist party, the Liberal Democrats, who believe that proportional representation is better, but
that is because their candidates usually come in second.

Nowadays, London taxi drivers are upset that mobile applications allow for non-licensed taxi drivers

In the United States just over forty percent of high school graduates go on to university. Although
there are public and private universities, both are expensive for most. Some students are able to
get scholarships, but others are forced to either work part-time or to take large student loans from
banks.
A typical undergraduate degree takes four years in America. It is possible to study at a community
college and receive an associate’s degree in two years, but it has little value.
For their first two years undergraduate students are required to take English, science, math and

In 1848 gold was discovered in California. Within a year about 100,000 people came to the goldmines
to look for the precious metal. Thousands of these gold diggers soon died because of disease and
hard working conditions.

California in hopes of finding gold. Other gold and silver regions were Nevada and Colorado.
The search for gold gave rise to new towns. Some of them still exist, for example, Aspen in Colorado,
which is a famous ski resort now. Others turned into ghost towns after the price of silver fell and
people abandoned their houses.

because you can’t tell if someone is poor or rich due to their clothes.

3. Electronic assistant: Is it easy for you to make friends?
Student: It isn't very difficult for me to make friends. At first i am a bit shy, but after I meet someone
a couple o f times, I feel more comfortable and can talk with them more. Then it is not long before
we become friends. (Pause 40 seconds)
4. Electronic assistant: Have you ever made friends over the Internet?
Student: Of course I have made friends over the Internet. It is easy to find people who have the same
interests as you. Then, when you do find them, it is easy to organize a meeting and then you become
friends rather quickly. (Pause 40 seconds)
5. Electronic assistant: What do you usually do with your friends?
Student: My friends and I often go to the park together or go to the cinema. We usually meet every
Friday to see the latest film. (Pause 40 seconds)
6. Electronic assistant: What qualities do you think are important in a friend?
Student: I think the most important quality in a friend is trust. If you can't trust someone, they can't
be your friend. A really good friend knows stuff about you and doesn't share it with others. (Pause
40 seconds)

TEST 23
Los Angeles became an American city in 1850 when California joined the United States after
the American-Mexican War. Its name means “the city of angels” in Spanish, as originally it was a
settlement of Christian missionaries from Spain.
Nowadays the city is an attractive place to live in as it has beautiful beaches, a warm climate, and
is next to the Pacific Ocean. However, the inhabitants of the city complain of the high level of air
pollution. The population is about 3.5 million people, and almost all of them drive long distances to
work causing huge traffic congestion.
Los Angeles is most famous for Hollywood, which is the biggest centre of film production, and for
Beverly Hills, which is the fashionable district where celebrities live.

(J F Ш Electronic assistant: Hello! It’s the electronic assistant of the educational centre “Study”. We kindly ask
you to take part in our survey. We need to find out how people feel about taking exams. Please, answer
1. Electronic assistant: When was the last time you took an important exam?
Student: The last important exam I took was a week ago I took my maths exam. It was very difficult
(Pause 40 seconds)
2. Electronic assistant: How did you feel before and after it?
Student: Before the exam I was very nervous, and after it I became worried. The test was really
hard and I don't think I did very well. I should have studied more. (Pause 40 seconds)
3. Electronic assistant: Should exams be so important that they can determine a student’s future?
Student: Exams shouldn't determine a students future. A lot of students become very nervous and
make mistakes on exams because they can't concentrate under pressure. There needs to be another
way for students to prove themselves. (Pause 40 seconds)
4. Electronic assistant: Do you think that exams motivate students to study harder?
Student: I think that exams motivate students to study harder. If they didn't have exams, students
wouldn't look at their class notes again or do any home-reading tasks. Students need a goal to work
towards. (Pause 40 seconds)
5. Electronic assistant: Do you prefer oral or written exams? Why?
Student: I always prefer oral exams. You can always speak faster than you write. This means that
you can include everything you want to say about a particular topic. When you take a written exam
you have to worry about the structure of an essay, word count, and word repetition. You don't have
to do that for oral exams. (Pause 40 seconds)
6. Electronic assistant: Have you ever cheated in an exam? How?
Student: I have cheated on an exam. When the teacher was looking in a different direction, I looked
at the test of the person sitting next to me to get the answers I wanted. I hadn't studied the night
before and I didn't know any of the answers at all. (Pause 40 seconds)
Task 36.

university.
6. Actually, there are many universities in the USA that even require that all applicants have to have
done volunteer work.
7. Thirdly, the thing is that there are some people who have to do volunteer work because they
committed a crime.
8. It is their punishment.
9. You know, it certainly is better than going to prison.
10. Last but not least, 1should say that I would like to do some volunteer work.
11. I would like to help people build a house or to feed homeless people.
12. Besides, I might actually enjoy it.

The United States has long been at the centre of technological advances and its inventors are
responsible for shaping the modern world. For example, in the nineteenth-century Thomas Edison
invented the phonograph, the light bulb, and the motion picture camera. It is difficult to imagine
what the world would be like without the light bulb.
Today, the United States continues to encourage scientific research. One of the most famous
research institutions is the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, known as MIT. Over twelve
people who have won a Nobel Prize currently do research there. On the west coast of the country
there is another institute focusing on technology, Caltech (the California Institute of Technology).

5. Secondly, I think that if someone gives you a present that you asked for, there is nothing to look
forward to.

7. Thirdly, 1 think that people often give you a present that they think that you need, but that you
wouldn’t buy for yourself.
8. That is the best present.
9. Last but not least, I should say that 1prefer giving presents rather than receiving them.
10. Moreover, I enjoy the whole experience of looking for a gift for someone.
11. To my mind, if I give them the perfect gift, they will know that I truly care about them.

TEST 25
Tired of endless wars and bloody power struggles, the settlers who came to America wanted
a political system that would limit the abuse of power by any one individual. That was why the
country’s founding leaders established a republic which aimed to maintain stability.
The government of the United States was established in March of 1789 with the Constitution of
the United States. The document outlined that there would be three branches of government: the
executive, the legislative, and the judiciary. Each branch was designed as a balance to the other two.
The Constitution has survived the test of time. It has only been changed twenty-six times since
1789. The most well-known changes occurred in 1791 with the Bill of Rights.

3. Electronic assistant: What pets are the most dangerous in your opinion? Why?
Student: I think that when people have exotic pets, like snakes or spiders, they are very dangerous.

they will attack anyone. (Pause 40 seconds)
4. Electronic assistant: What is the best pet to own? Why?
Student: The best pet to have is a cat. Cats are friendly and can take care of themselves. If you leave
