There are two examples at 0 and 00. one 0 For some people, sport is the most important one thing in their lives.In
√ 00 a great many countries all over the world, football, for example, is
01 followed with enormous passion by millions of people. For such as fans, 02 football is much more than just a game - it has a big effect on their 03 emotions. If the team that they support it wins, they are extremely happy 04 but if it should lose, they can become extremely depressed, angry and 05 even go aggressive. They regard the players in their team as heroes if they 06 play well but they quickly change their opinion if they start to play so badly. 07 In some places they celebrate all the night if their team wins an important 08 game and some fans even they give their children the names of their 09 favourite players. The fortunes of a team can affect to the mood of a whole 10 town or country - if it has won a big competition, production in 11 factories can increase because of the workers are happy. Some people find 12 this attitude to sport ridiculous. They cannot understand that why it is 13 possible for adults to get so much excited about a group of people kicking a 14 ball around a field. They think that these kind fans are childish and as far as 15 they are concerned, fans who like that take sport far too seriously. III. Verb tenses/ forms : (1.9m) 1.

PART C. READING COMPREHENSION : (6ms) I. READING PASSAGE : (1m) Read the passage and choose suitable headings for the sections. 1. Anyone who thinks they would like to get a job, acquire a skill or take up a new sport, learn about the world's archaeological heritage or go on an expedition by land or sea will find the contacts in this Guide. Whoever you are and whatever your Interests, you will find something to get you started. At last there is no excuse for wasting your vacation when you can be improving your skills: practical, academic or social; go for it! 2. With the busy lives many people live, forward thinking does not always get the consideration it should. Some holidays clearly require early booking and with some archaeological camps, expeditions and anything involving a trip to a distant part of the world, it is essential to do something as early as possible. However, it is sometimes possible to apply late and get on a waiting list. 3. Many embarking on such a venture for the first time consider taking someone with them. However, thousands of people go it, alone for a variety of reasons, not least that they can't find anyone to go with them. You will have more chance to take in your surroundings and receive the full benefit of the experience. Going on your own is likely to be more interesting and will bring out your individuality and develop self-confidence. 4. For almost any trip, you will need to take clothing, washing kit and swimming gear, and as you'll certainly want to take photographs, don't forget the 35 camera. Most people overpack, quite forgetting that they will have to canny their luggage for themselves for fairly long distances at ferry ports and other termini, or that there may be things to bring back which they have bought or been given on the trip. 5. Before leaving, it is important to check on the vaccination requirements. For hot climates, be prepared to suffer from minor ailments such as sunburn and stomach upsets. Take precautionary measures. Try to avoid mosquito bites but take your anti-malaria treatments anyway. There are more headings than sections a. Minor Ailments d. Planning Ahead g. Escorted Travel b. Health Hazard e. Travelling Light h. Getting Started c. Be Independent f. Late Applications 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
