1. C Hi, Claire. So you are finally coming to the USA! I

2. A think Florida would be a good place to visit. You
3. A can fly into Orlando International Airport. It isn’t far
from Disney World. Your students will love visiting
4. D there and there are great hotels at the resort where
5. D you can stay.
6. C After Disney World, I would take your students to
7. D Cape Canaveral, the home of the NASA space
programme. You could then continue to the city of
8. B Miami. It’s a large city and there are many things to
do. Finally, I wouldn’t miss a trip to the Everglades
PART 2 National Park, the largest sub-tropical wilderness in
the USA.
9. H There is quite a lot to see, so it’s probably a good
10. B idea to rent a bus. I would love to come with you

PART 2: Model Answer
PART 3 Question 3
16. C My favourite programme is House. House is a medical
17. B drama from the USA. I love this programme because
18. C of its main character, a medical genius called House.
The creator of the show is a Sherlock Holmes fan, and
19. B House’s character is similar to the character of
20. A Sherlock Holmes. Both are anti-social, love music and
21. D have got an amazing ability to solve mysteries that no
one else can solve. In fact, House and his medical
22. C team at the Princeton Plainsboro Teaching Hospital in
23. D New Jersey only treat difficult to diagnose cases, and
24. A House rejects cases that aren’t interesting to him.
Once he has accepted a patient, his brilliant reasoning
25. B and unconventional methods help him discover the
26. A mysterious cause of that person’s illness.
27. D House’s personality and his problem-solving methods
28. C make him one of the most interesting characters on
television. Anyone who loves a good mystery and
29. B wants to be entertained and challenged will love this
30. D programme. It isn’t suitable for young children, but I
would definitely recommend it to secondary school
students and adults.
