Passage 1 below.
TRENDS IN THE INDIAN FASHION AND TEXTILE INDUSTRIES
During the 1950s, the Indian fashion scene was exciting, stylish and very graceful.
There were no celebrity designers or models, nor were there any labels that were
widely recognised. The value of a garment was judged by its style and fabric rather
than by who made it. It was regarded as perfectly acceptable, even for high-society
women, to approach an unknown tailor who could make a garment for a few rupees,
providing the perfect fit, finish and style. They were proud of getting a bargain, and of
giving their own name to the end result.
The 1960s was an era full of mischievousness and celebration in the arts, music and
cinema. The period was characterised by freedom from restrictions and, in the fashion
world, an acceptance of innovative types of material such as plastic and coated
polyester. Tight-fitting kurtas[1] and churidars[2] and high coiffures were a trend
among women.
The following decade witnessed an increase in the export of traditional materials, and
the arrival in India of international fashion. Synthetics became trendy, and the disco
culture affected the fashion scene.
It was in the early 80s when the first fashion store ‘Ravissant’ opened in Mumbai. At
that time garments were retailed for a four-figure price tag. American designers like
Calvin Klein became popular. In India too, contours became more masculine, and even
the salwar kameez[3] was designed with shoulder pads.
With the evolution of designer stores came the culture of designer fashion, along with
its hefty price tags. Whatever a garment was like, consumers were convinced that a
higher price tag signified elegant designer fashion, so garments were sold at
unbelievable prices. Meanwhile, designers decided to get themselves noticed by
making showy outfits and associating with the right celebrities. Soon, fashion shows
became competitive, each designer attempting to out-do the other in theme, guest list
and media coverage.
In the last decade of the millennium, the market shrank and ethnic wear made a
comeback. During the recession, there was a push to sell at any cost. With fierce
competition the inevitable occurred: the once hefty price tags began their downward
journey, and the fashion-show industry followed suit. However, the liveliness of the
Indian fashion scene had not ended - it had merely reached a stable level.
At the beginning of the 21st century, with new designers and models, and more
sensible designs, the fashion industry accelerated once again. As far as the global
fashion industry is concerned, Indian ethnic designs and materials are currently in
demand from fashion houses and garment manufacturers. India is the third largest
producer of cotton, the second largest producer of silk, and the fifth largest producer
of man-made fibres in the world.
The Indian garment and fabric industries have many fundamental advantages, in terms
of a cheaper, skilled work force, cost-effective production, raw materials, flexibility,
and a wide range of designs with sequins, beadwork, and embroidery. In addition, that
India provides garments to international fashion houses at competitive prices, with a
shorter lead time, and an effective monopoly on certain designs, is accepted the whole
world over. India has always been regarded as the default source in the embroidered
garments segment, but changes in the rate of exchange between the rupee and the
dollar has further depressed prices, thereby attracting more buyers. So the
international fashion houses walk away with customised goods, and craftwork is sold
at very low rates.
As far as the fabric market is concerned, the range available in India can attract as well
as confuse the buyer. Much of the production takes place in the small town of Chapa
in the eastern state of Bihar, a name one might never have heard of. Here fabric-
 making is a family industry; the range and quality of raw silks churned out here belie
the crude production methods and equipment. Surat in Gujarat, is the supplier of an
amazing set of jacquards, moss crepes and georgette sheers - all fabrics in high
demand. Another Indian fabric design that has been adopted by the fashion industry is
the ‘Madras check’, originally utilised for the universal lungi, a simple lower-body wrap
worn in southern India. This design has now found its way on to bandannas, blouses,
home furnishings and almost anything one can think of.
Ethnic Indian designs with batik and hand-embroidered motifs have also become
popular across the world. Decorative bead work is another product in demand in the
international market. Beads are used to prepare accessory items like belts and bags,
and beadwork is now available for haute couture evening wear too.

READING PASSAGE 2
You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions 14-26, which are based on Reading
Passage 2 below.
EARLY OCCUPATIONS AROUND THE RIVER THAMES
In her pioneering survey, Sources of London English, Laura Wright has listed the
variety of medieval workers who took their livings from the river Thames. The baillies
of Queenhithe and Billingsgate acted as customs officers. There were conservators,
who were responsible for maintaining the embankments and the weirs, and there
were the garthmen who worked in the fish garths (enclosures). Then there were
galleymen and lightermen and shoutmen, called after the names of their boats, and
there were hookers who were named after the manner in which they caught their fish.
The searcher patrolled the Thames in search of illegal fish weirs, and the tideman
worked on its banks and foreshores whenever the tide permitted him to do so.
All of these occupations persisted for many centuries, as did those jobs that depended
upon the trade of the river. Yet, it was not easy work for any of the workers. They
carried most goods upon their backs, since the rough surfaces of the quays and nearby
streets were not suitable for wagons or large carts; the merchandise characteristically
arrived in barrels which could be rolled from the ship along each quay. If the burden
was too great to be carried by a single man, then the goods were slung on poles
resting on the shoulders of two men. It was a slow and expensive method of business.
However, up to the eighteenth century, river work was seen in a generally favourable
light. For Langland, writing in the fourteenth century, the labourers working on river
 merchandise were relatively prosperous. And the porters of the seventeenth and early
eighteenth centuries were, if anything, aristocrats of labour, enjoying high status.
However, in the years from the late eighteenth to the early nineteenth century, there
was a marked change in attitude. This was in part because the working river was
within the region of the East End of London, which in this period acquired an
unenviable reputation. By now, dockside labour was considered to be the most
disreputable, and certainly the least desirable form of work.
D It could be said that the first industrial community in England grew up around the
Thames. With the host of river workers themselves, as well as the vast assembly of
ancillary trades such as tavern-keepers and laundresses, food-sellers and street-
hawkers, shopkeepers and marine store dealers - there was a workforce of many
thousands congregated in a relatively small area. There were more varieties of
business to be observed by the riverside than, in any other part of the city. As a result,
with the possible exception of the area known as Seven Dials, the East End was also
the most intensively inhabited region of London.
It was a world apart, with its own language and its own laws. From the sailors in the
opium dens of Limehouse to the smugglers on the malarial flats of the estuary, the
workers of the river were not part of any civilised society. The alien world of the river
had entered them. That alienation was also expressed in the slang of the docks, which
essentially amounted to backslang, or the reversal of ordinary words. This backslang
also helped in the formulation of Cockney rhyming slang*, so that the vocabulary of
Londoners was directly affected by the life of the Thames.
The reports in the nineteenth-century press reveal a heterogeneous world of dock
labour, in which the crowds of casuals waiting for work at the dock gates at 7.45 a.m.
include penniless refugees, bankrupts, old soldiers, broken-down gentlemen,
discharged servants, and ex-convicts. There were some 400-500 permanent workers
who earned a regular wage and who were considered to be the patricians of dockside
labour. However, there were some 2,500 casual workers who were hired by the shift.
The work for which they competed fiercely had become ever more unpleasant. Steam
power could not be used for the cranes, for example, because of the danger of fire. So
the cranes were powered by treadmills. Six to eight men entered a wooden cylinder
and, laying hold of ropes, would tread the wheel round. They could lift nearly 20
tonnes to an average height of 27 feet (8.2 metres), forty times in an hour. This was
part of the life of the river unknown to those who were intent upon its more
picturesque aspects.

Write about the following topic:
Some teachers think that international student exchange would be beneficial for all
teenage school students.
Do you think its advantages will outweigh the disadvantages?
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own
knowledge or experience.
Write at least 250 words
It is believed by some teachers that all youth school students would be received many
benefits from international students exchange. While others contend that there are
more disadvantages from doing that to teenage students. In my point of view, its
advantages will bring more than disadvantages.
There are some drawbacks which youth school students may have to face with. First
of all, students can surprise with their diffenrent culture, customs and perspectives.
This things can lead to some conflics with international students, then teenage school
students can not have a good experience with the international students exchange.
Additionally, if the youth students do not have enough knowledge or language to
communicate with the students from different countries, they will not understand
what they learn and catch up with the international curricular.
On the other hand, the advantages from international exchange projects are much
more than disadvantages. Participating in those it will help the teenage to make new
friends from all over the world, besides the youth will have more opportunities to
learn many skills such as presentation skills, team-work skills or social skills, which are
not learned in their own country. And it is also a chance to them to explore new
cultures and learn about different perspective from international students. In addition,
joing international projects is a great way to be independent and confident because
they will not have a support from their family and their loved ones.
In conclusion, the teenage take part in the international students exchange will have
more advantages than disadvantages because it can be a new their journey, a new
their path, helping them to develop themselves and having a good career in the future.
