Task 1 —  L ong reading

Read the following text about a music festival and answer the 15 questions on page 3.

Paragraph 1 If you mention ―Glastonbury Festival‖ to any British person, probably the first thing they will think about is rain. Glastonbury is a five – day festival that takes place most years in June, and although it’s in the middle of summer, it usually rains. It’s the most famous music festival in the world because of its size and the number of musicians and artists that perform there. People come from all over the world with their tents to experience music, dance, comedy theatre and other arts over several days. Paragraph 2 Tickets now cost over £200, but when the first festival took place in 1970, they cost  just £1. It was a farmer, Michael Eavis, who decided to hold a festival on his farm. 1500 music fans attended the festival and the price included milk form the farm. Entry was free the following year, but milk wasn’t. 12000 peopl e went that year. By the early 1980s, there were several stages for performances about 30000 people usually went. A lot of the money from the entrance fee was given to charities. The festival had its own radio station, Avalon Radio. Paragraph 3 The festival doesn’t take place every summer. Occasionally, Michael Eavis decides to take a year off. He is busy enough looking after the cows on his farm. But in 1991 he had a different reason for cancelling the festival- the previous year there were problems, and the police arrested 235 people for stealing and for causing £50000 worth of damage, so he decided not to hold the festival for a year. Paragraph 4 One year was particularly wet. On the day the festival opened in 2011, the ground was already wet form lots of rain over the previous days. People arrived in the rain, with their raincoats, umbrellas, boots and tents. The rain continued all through that day and the following day too. The fields where the festival  –  goers were sleeping turned into big, muddy baths. Newspapers showed photos of people dancing, eating, drinking and playing in the rain. But on the Saturday and Sunday, the last two days of the festival, the sun came out and temperatures reached 22 degrees Celsius. Paragraph 5 Glastonbury Festival is now so big that it looks like a town. There are 800 stalls that sell everything that festival  –  goers could want, including water, newspapers, food, clothes and make up. There are also 20 bars, 300 showers and over 3000 toilets for the 170000 people who go there. Over 34000 people work at the festival for free, and millions of pounds are given to charities after the festival finishes

Text A From: [email protected] To [email protected] Subject: New school

Hi Rose My new school’s really different from my last one. It isn’t the staff who decide  what the school rules should be. There is a student meeting one a week and we discuss things like how we should behave when we’re at school, and how we can make life there better. All the students must come to that meeting, but teachers can only attend if we invite them. We usually ask two or three teachers to come along, but it’s better if they aren’t at all there. At our last meeting we discussed whether we should have a school uniform or not. There was a lot of discussion. Lots of people wanted to keep the school uniform, but at the end there was a vote and those who didn’t want one won. This way of doing things is a bit strange at first, but it’s probably a good idea. What do you think? Love Lena Text B Rick: School would be much better if there weren ’t so many rules. Why can ’t we stay in the classroom at lunchtime or take a bottle of water into the library when it ’s hot? Daisy: The school needs to have different punishments I think. If we do something wrong, we  just get a bit more homework or have to stay at school for an extra half hour. No one really minds that. Adam: Daisy, I think punishments like that work  –  they’d be enough to stop me from breaking the rules. Ali: I agree with Rick. Some rules are necessary, but most are just because they don ’t want to let us decide what to do. Maria: Rules can be good  –  it’s annoying if people turn up late to class. Keiko: @Daisy The best punishment for breaking a rule is that you have to tidy the classroom when you want to go home at the end of the day. Sam: @Maria It doesn’t worry me if people are late. Don ’t pay attention to them. Page 4
