Write the letters next to each paragraph in the correct<br /> order from number 6 to number 10 in the box below the passage.<br /> A. Each of the three days was divided into two morning and two afternoon sessions on<br /> different subjects. Some of these were very interesting; Marketing and Time<br /> Management were particularly good. However, some of the other subjects were treated<br /> in a rather superficial manner, or were aimed at very inexperienced secretaries.<br /> B. The course was well organized and all the administrative aspects went smoothly. The<br /> course secretary was always available to answer any questions, and we were asked to<br /> complete a feedback questionnaire every day.<br /> C. From 10-12 December 2020 I attended a course called ‘Developing the Executive<br /> Assistant’, which was run by RP Consultancy in Brighton, as part of my professional<br /> development plan<br /> D. There were two trainers, who were both very professional in their manner and gave<br /> well-prepared sessions, although one of them, Judy, was not very good at keeping to<br /> time, which meant there was often no time for questions. In addition, she did not give<br /> us much opportunity to contribute our own ideas in her lecture<br /> E. On the whole, this is a well-run course. I found it very useful, and I would therefore<br /> recommend the company to send other secretaries on it. It is perhaps better suited to<br /> less experienced secretaries, who might benefit from more of the sessions than I<br /> personally did.<br /> 6……<br /> <br /> 7…..<br /> <br /> 8…….<br /> <br /> 9…..<br /> <br /> 10…..<br /> <br /> Part III (questions 11-15): Read the following passage and answer the questions under<br /> each passage by circling the best letter (A, B, C, or D).<br /> Liam Killen<br /> Liam Killen is a rising star in cross-country mountain biking. He has raced since he was<br /> 12 and had both successes and disappointments in that time. His worst moment so far was<br /> during a recent World Championship. His front tyre started to lose air at the last part of the<br /> race and he finished fourth. This was not the first time he’d been unlucky. In a previous race,<br /> it was raining heavily and he crashed his bike just minutes after the crash.<br /> He often gets nervous before a race but he thinks that this is a good thing. ‘Nervous<br /> energy makes you go faster and on the day. It’s all about winning. The important thing is to<br /> stay positive’.<br /> Liam likes a hard race with steep climbs. ‘They make all the difference. You have to be<br /> really fit to get ahead’. He also enjoy entering competitions at tops levels as there are fewer<br /> riders in the race and this makes the start easier. ‘You can get into the front group more<br /> quickly’.<br /> Liam has been chosen to go to the Olympic Games and one day he would like to win a<br /> medal. ‘I’m still quite young and expect to be riding until my mid-thirties so I’ve got enough<br /> time to achieve my dream. I know the Olympics are hard and I’ll have to produce my bestperformance yet. But I feel confident’.<br /> <br /> Liam trains for 30 hours a week – always outside – and he reaches speeds of 65 kph. He<br /> thinks that cycling professionally is the best job in the world and would recommend it to<br /> anyone. His advice to people starting to race is ‘Be prepared for some hard work. If the<br /> training was easy, it wouldn’t make you faster’.<br /> 11. What is the writer trying to do in the text?<br /> A. encourage people to cycle as a hobby<br /> B. give details of Liam’s cycling career<br /> C. compare cycling with other sports<br /> D. explain why Liam became a cyclist<br /> 12. What happened towards the end of one Liam’s races?<br /> A. He fell off his bike<br /> B. The weather got really bad<br /> C. He was involved in an accident.<br /> D. There was a problem with his bike<br /> 13. Liam prefers a race that<br /> A. includes some hilly ground<br /> B. has a lot of riders taking part<br /> C. attracts less experienced riders<br /> D. allows him to get ahead at the end<br /> 14. What does Liam say about the Olympics?<br /> A. He thinks he will perform badly<br /> B. Most riders will be younger than him<br /> C. The race is longer than he is used to<br /> D. He is looking forward to the challenge.<br /> 15. Which of the following would Liam say about cycling?<br /> A. ‘I think everyone should start cycling. You don’t need to rain very hard to get good at<br /> the sport and it’s great fun’.<br /> B. ‘I often get nervous before a race and I think that makes me perfume badly but I don’t<br /> intend to give up’<br /> C. ‘I know it’s not possible to win every race but I love cycling. I plan to continue the<br /> sport for quite a few more years’.<br /> D. ‘I have to cycle at least 4 hours a day. To get faster I’ll have to do even more and I<br /> don’t know if I have enough time for that’.<br /> Part IV (questions 16-30): Choose the best answer to complete each of the following<br /> sentences by circling the letter A, B, C or D.<br /> 16.
