READING and LISTENING PET + EASTER HOMEWORK

 TIPS TO WORK READING 

Remember tips to answer questions succesfully 😊

Tips for Multiple Choice Part 1 Questions

In the PET Part 1 Multiple Choice task, you will read real-world notices, messages and other short texts and need to show you can understand the main message.

·         The first time you read the text, decide what it might be: a notice, an email, a text message ect.

·         Before you look at the options, decide what you think the main message in the text is.

·         Read the three options and try to match the correct one.

·         Don't choose an answer just because it contains a word that is in the text.

·         Look out for words or expressions in the options that have a similar meaning to ones in the text. For example 'collect the tickets' and 'pick them up' in Question 1 above, and 'isn't working' and 'out of order' in Question 2.

·         Double check your answer before you move on to the next question.

1

A.     Order the cinema tickets.

B.     Collect the tickets.

C.     Meet after work to go to the cinema.

5.5

A.  ?    The cafe is where the builders eat.

B.  ?    Students will be told when the cafe is open.

C.  ?    The cafe will still be open while building work is being done.

2.

1.   The lift is only for employees.
2.   Ask someone if you need help with the lift.
3.   The lift isn't working.

3.  The cafe will still be open while building work is being done

 Multiple Choice (Part 3)

In the PET Part 3 Multiple Choice task, you need to be able to show you understand details, overall meaning as well as the writer's attitude and opinion. Here are some tips to follow when attempting the PET Part 3 Multiple Choice task:

• Use the title to get an idea of the theme of the text.
• Read the text first before you try to answer any questions. This will help you get an overall idea of the topic and the writer's opinion.
• Read each question, find and underline the part of the text which answers the question. The answers to the questions will generally follow in the same order in the text.
• Don't choose an answer simply because a word in the question appears in the text. Examples of this can sometimes distract you from the correct answer.

The End of TV?

Tom Collins offers his opinion

I keep reading articles that argue the TV is dead. According to this view, people are spending far more time using the Internet for their entertainment and for information. As a result, they argue the TV is becoming less and less important in our lives. The time we spend watching videos online is certainly increasing but I don't think this is a reason to believe we should be saying goodbye to the television.

The TV is still a very popular way a lot of us get our entertainment at home. It offers us the chance to see top musical artists, great films and documentaries and sometimes, thanks to important live events, it has the power to bring the whole country and all ages together in a way the Internet never could. How often do thousands or even millions of friends or families sit down at the same time to watch something together online?

Some people argue that the TV offers a poor quality of programmes on the many channels we now have. It is certainly true that many of the channels do nothing more than repeat old shows or offer cheap, low quality programmes. However, I would argue that a lot of content on the Internet isn't particularly great. At least TV shows have professional people checking the quality of shows, which a lot of content on the web doesn't.

I agree that it is easy to keep up-to-date with the latest news on the Internet, even though much of it is not true or certainly can't be trusted. I enjoy sitting down to the news on TV in the evening, knowing that I am more likely to believe the information than the things I read online. Anybody can post information on the Internet and a lot of it is opinion rather than fact.

So I don't think we should be so quick to say goodbye to the TV. In fact, I think it has many more years left in it! I certainly won't be swapping my TV for the latest laptop and will continue to enjoy relaxing in front of it in the evenings.

Tips for the PET Open Cloze (Part 6)

Part 6, the Open Cloze, focuses mainly on grammar. Here are some tips to follow when attempting the Open Cloze task:

·         Make sure you read the title and the complete text first before trying to answer any questions. This will sometimes help you to identify missing words.

·         Remember that only one word is missing and that contractions count as two words!

·         Pay attention to the clauses and words around each gap as these will usually help you identify which word is missing. For example, if the gap is after a verb, is it possible a preposition is missing? If the gap follows a comma, could the missing word be a relative pronoun (who, that, which etc.) ? If the gap appears at the beginning of a sentence, could the missing word be a linking word such as 'However' or 'Although'? You'll need to read the sentences before and after to work this last one out.

·         Remember that Part 6 focuses mainly on grammar so the missing words are likely to be pronouns, prepositions, determiners, adverbs, linking words etc

 

Cornish Pasties

As you know, I'm in a place called Cornwall, (2) ........ is in the south west. They have something called a Cornish Pasty. It looks like a parcel made of pastry and the pastry holds together a mixture of meat and vegetables. Cornish pasties have (3) ........ interesting history. In the past, they were the basic meal for Cornish miners who worked underground digging for tin. After a hard morning's work the miners would sit down to eat (4) ........ lunch. But because of the job they were doing, their hands (5) ........ covered in dangerous materials. The design of the pasty meant they could eat the meat and vegetables before throwing away the dirty pastry.

I don't know if it's true and (6) ........ seems a shame that they couldn't eat all of it! You can get Cornish pasties anywhere in the UK but I've been told the best ones are in Cornwall.

The first Wimbledon championship took place in 1877, making it the oldest tennis tournament in the world.

3.      Strict Dress Code

Wimbledon rules state that all players must be dressed almost entirely in white. Umpires can ask a player to change if they don’t meet the dress code. For instance, in 2013, Wimbledon champion Roger Federer was told to switch his shoes for his next match because they had orange soles.

4.      It’s All About the Ball

During the tournament, 54, 250 tennis balls are used. The balls are replaced after every seven to nine games to make sure they’re in perfect shape throughout the match. Wimbledon once used white tennis balls. But they were replaced with yellow balls in 1986 to make them more visible to TV cameras.

5.      On the Job

About 250 ball boys and girls - known as BBGs - have the hard job of keeping track of all those fast-moving tennis balls.

The record for the most Wimbledon titles in Ladies’ is for Martina Navratilova with nine victories. In Men’s Singles, the record is shared by William Renshaw, Pete Sampras, and Roger Federer, who each won the event seven times.

7.      Are You Tired Yet?

The longest match ever played took place at the 2010 tournament. John Isner of the United States defeated French player Nicolas Mahut in a match that lasted 11 hours and five minutes and was played over the course of three days.

8.       Bring on the Trophy

In 2014, the Men’s and Ladies’ Singles Champions each took home a prize of about $3 million. Neither winner keeps the trophy. They remain on display at the All England Club’s museum. But winners do go home with a small replica of the trophy.

9.      NO adverts at Wimbledon
