“Once a week, we had a family time called “Book
club”. My mom would stop everything she was doing
to go to my bedroom and read a book. Sometimes she
liked to pretend she was actually inside the book and
started making some funny voices, to best suit each
character. Once I started get sleepy, she always
kissed me in my forehead and said “I love you so
much. You are the light of my life.” before she went
to her bed. This is by far the best memory I have from
my childhood.”
The sentence “I love you, baby girl. You are the light
of my life” can be correctly reported as:

Read the text below to answer the question:
ICEBERG A68a
An enormous iceberg that is heading toward the island of South Georgia in the
southern Atlantic Ocean has broken up into three large chunks. Scientists from NASA
have been tracking the berg - dubbed A68a - for several weeks. It actually calved from
the Larsen C ice shelf in 2017 and has been floating northwards ever since. In recent
weeks, a fast-moving stream of water known as the Southern Antarctic Circumpolar
Current Front has put the chunks on a trajectory that means they could run aground off
the coast of South Georgia. Scientists say the three fragments are roughly 2,600 square
kilometres in size. The submerged part of one chunk is 106 metres at its thickest point.
The sheer bulk of the three iceberg chunks poses a serious threat to the wildlife of
South Georgia. There could be an environmental catastrophe waiting to happen. If the
three mini icebergs collide with the seabed, they could obstruct penguins and seals from
foraging for fish. They could also block the route between penguin colonies and their
feeding grounds during the breeding season. Scientists worry the underside of the
fragments could grind the seabed near South Georgia and disrupt delicate underwater
ecosystems. This could be exacerbated by the introduction of a mass of fresh water to the
ecosystems as the stationary fragments melt over the summer months.

Text 1 – How children learn languages
Questions 31 to 39
How long does it take to learn a language?
Many different factors affect the time it takes. These include
your child’s age, first language, their reason for BLANK I English and their teachers. You can help your child learn quickly
by BLANK II them lots of opportunities to use English. It helps
to have real reasons for BLANK III a language, rather than just
BLANK IV grammar.
Is it true that boys and girls learn languages differently?
Yes. At early ages, girls tend to develop language more quickly. Remember that it’s OK for children to develop at different
speeds. It will be more similar by secondary school age. However, by this stage children might think that languages are ‘more
of a girl thing’. Attitudes to learning can have a big impact on
educational success so it’s important to find ways to encourage
your child and help them enjoy their learning.
Do primary and secondary children learn languages differently?
Yes, there are differences.
Primary school children are learning their first and second languages at the same time. It’s really important
to support both languages. Children with a strong foundation in their first language will find it easier to learn
a second language. Encourage your child to play, sing
and read in both their first and second languages. Remember to plan separate times to focus on each language.
If you say something in English and then in another language,
your child will automatically listen for their stronger language
and ‘tune out’ the other language.
Teenagers are interested in exploring their personalities and
identities. This creates lots of opportunities to use popular culture, films, TV, music and video games. Teenagers also enjoy
challenging authority, which provides opportunities for debates
and discussion.
Will learning another language affect how well my child
does at school?
Multilingual children learn at a young age that they can express their ideas in more than one way. This helps their
thought process and makes them better, more flexible, learners. Research has found that children who speak more than one
language do better in school, and have better memories and
problem-solving skills.
What kind of learner is my child?
Watch your child playing. What do they enjoy doing? Puzzles and problem-solving? Physical play and sports? Word games?
Writing stories? Creative play? Try doing these types of activities in English and make a note of what your child responds to
best. Alternatively, ask your child to create in English their own
one-week ‘dream timetable of activities’. Let them choose how
to present it. For example, they could act it out, prepare a written
fact file, make a video, draw pictures, go on a treasure hunt or
make a scrap book.

An interview with Paolo Kwan, 20, from Hong Kong, who is improving his English while studying Business Administration at Sierra College in northern California.
WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO STUDY IN THE USA?
It provides a nice education in a beautiful country. When I
was younger I used to watch American movies and I
wanted to visit the United States. They always talked about
the American dream, and I wanted to come and see it.
HOW DID YOU CHOOSE YOUR INTENSIVE ENGLISH PROGRAM?
Sierra College is one of the biggest community colleges in northern California. It is in a quiet location but has a beautiful campus.
The college has a good business program. I can study for two years at Sierra College and then two years at my transfer school to earn my degree.
WHAT DO YOU LIKE BEST?
I also enjoy the quality of the teaching at the college. There is a writing center where I can go at any time. The teachers can make suggestions to improve my essay, regarding grammar and my vocabulary. At the Math Center, they can explain in detail the problems.
WHAT DO YOU MISS MOST?
I miss the food and also my family.
WHAT WAS YOUR BIGGEST SURPRISE?
I was surprised by the cultural difference. The taste and style of food is very different. The amount of food is a lot larger. A small portion in the USA is a large portion in Hong Kong. When people from America find out that I am from another country they ask a lot of questions. They are very interested in you and finding out about Hong Kong.
... YOUR BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT?
I have not had any since I came here.
HOW HAVE YOU HANDLED:
... LANGUAGE DIFFERENCES?
It is important not to be shy, as that does not help you when you are trying to improve your language. I make sure that I study, practice and speak as often as I can—that is the only way to improve. ...
FINANCES?
I am being supported by my family.
... ADJUSTING TO A DIFFERENT EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM?
The American system is much more open. In Hong Kong you just learn what the teacher writes on the board. In America, you discuss the issues and focus more on ideas
WHAT ARE YOUR ACTIVITIES?
I am interested in traveling around the USA. I have been to San Francisco, which you can reach by train from Sierra College. In my free time I go out with friends.
HOW EASY OR DIFFICULT IS MAKING FRIENDS?
It has not been that hard to make friends in the USA. Other people at the college are friendly and want to make friends as well.
HOW IS YOUR U.S. EDUCATION RELEVANT TO YOUR PERSONAL GOALS AND TO THE NEEDS OF YOUR COUNTRY?
I think that the U.S. education system will provide me with
good resources and skills to be able to support myself in
order to get hired in my own country
WHAT IS YOUR ADVICE TO OTHER STUDENTS?
An awesome life experience is waiting for you in the future. You will learn so much more than you think. Nothing is impossible, so go ahead and give it a try.
Adapted from: https://www.studyusa.com
In the interview Paolo said: “I have been to San Francisco”.

How being bilingual can boost your career
Whether you’re fresh out of college or a seasoned executive, insiders agree that fluency in a second language can not only help you stand out among prospective employers, it can also open doors to opportunities that those without foreign language skills might miss.
In today’s global economy, the ability to communicate in another language has become a significant advantage in the workforce. Research has found that people who speak at least one foreign language have an average annual household income that’s $10,000 higher than the household income of those who only speak English. And about 17 percent of those who speak at least one foreign language earn more than $100,000 a year.
A recent survey found that nearly 9 out of 10 headhunters in Europe, Latin America, and Asia say that being at least bilingual is critical for success in today’s business environment. And 66 percent of North American recruiters agreed that being bilingual will be increasingly important in the next 10 years.
“In today’s global economy you really have to understand the way business is done overseas to maximize your potential. A second language equips you for that,” says Alister Wellesley, managing partner of a Connecticut-based recruiting firm. “If you’re doing business overseas, or with someone from overseas, you obtain a certain degree of respect if you’re able to talk in their native language.”
Language skills can also be key for service industries. At the Willard InterContinental Washington, a luxury hotel a few blocks from the White House, a staff of about 570 represents 42 nations, speaking 19 languages. The Willard’s front-of-house employees such as the concierge speak at least two languages. Bilingualism is not an absolute requirement, but it is desirable, according to Wendi Colby, director of human resources.
Workers with skills in a second language may have an edge when it comes to climbing Willard’s professional ladder. “The individual that spoke more languages would have a better chance for a managerial role, whatever the next level would be,” Colby says. “They are able to deal with a wide array of clients, employees.”
So which languages can give you a leg up on the job market? Insiders agree the most popular – and marketable – languages are Spanish, German, French, Italian, Russian and Japanese, with a growing emphasis on Mandarin, given China’s booming economy. So let’s learn Mandarin!
“We see demand from a full range of industries,” says Wellesley. “Actually it depends on which company you’re working for and the country in which they’re located.”
