Three teenagers describe their home
My house is in the city and has four bedrooms. My parents have the biggest room and it has a
big, double bed. The other bedrooms are smaller and belong to me, my brother and any guests
we may have. There is a garage next to the house where my parents park both their cars. My
house is blue, but we want to paint it white. There is a large, wooden bookshelf in the living
room.
I live in a small house in a small village with my uncle. This house has two big
bedrooms, a bathroom, a kitchen with one fridge and a dining room. Our garage is at
the back of the house and it only has room for one car. I have a lot of books and I now
want to buy a wooden bookshelf. There is a very old blue gate at the end of the garden.
My uncle is painting it white.
The kitchen in my house is very big and there is a very big fridge. There are metal
shelves. around the wall. The living room has a very big television and a DVD player. I
also have a large bookshelf for my DVDs. There is a garage next door but there is no
room to put a car in it. This is because there is a washing machine and a second fridge.
I live with my older brother. The house is a five-minute walk to the town centre.
Part 3 Questions 14-18
For each question, choose the correct answer.
Goby, the amzing beach fish
by Tim Barnet, student
As part of a recent school project, I read many articles in newspapers, magazines and on
the internet, about how much plastic there is in the world. It is in the sea, in rivers and
on the land. It is everywhere. Plastic kills thousands of birds, fish and animals and the
problem is getting worse and worse. People think that by the year 2050, there will be
more pieces of plastic in the sea than fish.
If you walk on a beach you can see that this is true. On some beaches there is plastic
everywhere. Of course, this problem is much worse in the summer when tourists spend
lots of time on the beach and, sadly, many of them are too lazy to take their rubbish
home with them or, at least, put it in a rubbish bin.
I also read that people at one local beach in the Mediterranean decided to do something
about this problem. Instead of trying to put lots of ugly rubbish bags on the beach, they
made a huge fish, bigger than a person, and put it on the beach. The fish has a big open
mouth and you can see inside it. There is a big sign on the fish which says: 'I am Goby
the fish and I love eating rubbish'. The fish is actually beautiful and looks like a piece of
art but it has a very important reason for being on the beach. People like to feed it with
plastic bot- tles, paper, tin cans and any other rubbish they have. When it is full, it is
emptied and then people can put their rubbish in it again.
Now that Goby "lives' on the beach there is no rubbish there at all. This is a very clever
way to make people keep the beaches clean and it looks good too. It also saves a lot of
money. So the question is, 'Why isn't there a Goby on every beach in the world?'
14. The first paragraph says that
A. plastic is more useful now than it was in the past.
B. there is too much plastic everywhere.
C. plastic is now killing some people.
15. What is said about tourists?
A. They aren't careful with their rubbish.
B. They spend too much time on the beach.
C. They should not be allowed on the beaches.
16. What did people on a beach in the Mediterranean do?
A. They showed people how to go fishing.
B. They had an art competition on the beach.
C. They found an unusual way to keep the beach clean.
17. How could you describe Goby?
A. ugly but important
B. beautiful and useful
C. dirty and expensive
18. Why has Tim Barnet written this text?
A. to ask people not to make any rubbish on the beach
B. to encourage people to make art for the beach
C. to help stop people from leaving rubbish on the beach
