Paper 1 : Reading and Writing

Fish farming for the future by Aimswell, 14, Tobago I'm A i m s w e l l and I live on the island of T o b a g o in the W e s t Indies. Like lots of people here, my father is a fisherman and he taught me to fish w h e n I was about five. I love it and have even w o n s o m e prizes in fishing competitions. Local people here fish f o r themselves and s o m e of them even supply fish to the big hotels. Recently everyone has started to notice that there are not as many fish in the sea as there used to be and the fish that we are catching n o w are really small, still young. If everyone keeps catching all the fish w h e n they are so young, we may soon run out.

Test 2

Listening Part 4 Questions 21 - 25 Read the text below and answer the questions opposite. For each question, mark the correct letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet.

The Hockey Dad - one to watch? There's an old saying in the theatre world 'Never work with children or animals'. It's a great pity that Harold Greymont has never heard this piece of advice, or if he has come across it, that he didn't pay more attention to it. It's not so much that The Hockey Dad is a bad film, although I can't find many reasons for saying it's a good one. It's more that it makes me angry. The thing that annoys me is that Greymont is a brilliant actor. Anyone who saw him in Romeo and Juliet on the stage in New York knows that. So what's he doing in this kind of nonsense? It's a story about a shy, small-town bank clerk who is temporarily mistaken for the manager of the unsuccessful hockey team at his son's primary school. He has to find

12

a way to encourage the players when they are about to play the regional champions, who haven't been beaten for three seasons. His unusual methods are surprisingly successful and by the middle of the season the team has done much better than anyone expected. Unfortunately, there's trouble waiting because the real team manager (who is an unpopular local businessman) is very jealous of him. But, surprise, surprise, the team's school friends find a way to solve his problems. I won't say how, as it's the only part of the film that's even slightly original or amusing. If you see it, you'll be annoyed with me for telling you. But my advice is, when it comes to a cinema near you - go and play hockey instead.
