To most people, New York seems an incredibly exciting place to live. What do New Yorkers

Mark 1.0 out of 1.0

think of their city?  A. THE SINGLE GIRL-Sherrin Bernstein  Living in Manhattan is one big financial struggle for Sherrin Bernstein, a trainee beauty  therapist. She earns enough to pay the bills, but there is little left for luxuries. “I can’t afford  to do expensive things”, she says. But she can have a lot of fun in New York on a Budget. A good meal in a restaurant costs little, and her favorite hobby is rollerblading in Central Park, which costs nothing. Apart from a short break in Spain last year, Sherrin has not had a holiday in ten years. I wish I could go to Italy. It is a fantastic place to go on vacations. She is paying her way through college and earns money by working as a skating instructor. Despite the financial drawbacks, she loves New York. “The energy in this city is incredible”. The worst aspect, according to Sherrin, is pollution and noise. I wish the alarms would not  go off through the night. It’s hard to get a good night’s sleep. The aggressive nature of New  Yorkers also makes her uncomfortable. “People push you out of the way on the subway or  in the street. Sometimes I long for a more peaceful way of life”. B. THE FAMILY- Mr. and Mrs. Miles and their daughters   Seymour Miles, his wife, Jan, and their two daughters live in a three-bedroom apartment, which is large by New York standards. Mr. Miles runs his own business and Jan is vice president at a bank. The Miles say they are fortunate they can afford to send their  their  daughters to a private school. “The school has an excellent academic reputation, every  child has a computer. Things like that influenced our decision to invest so much in their  education”. Bringing children up in New York has its benefits and drawbacks. A big  advantage is access to New York’s York’s rich cultural life. The T he girls go regularly to museums and  art galleries and see all the latest films. “In New York they are exposed to the diversity of   people, they see other cultures and are enriched by that” that” says Mr. Miles. The disadvantages is they do not have the freedom to go out in the street and play. “We wish they could play 



safely in the streets. Everything has to be supervised.” The Miles Mile s say New York is becoming  more expensive and dangerous to live in, so many people are leaving and moving out to the



suburbs. C. THE COUPLE- Mr and Mrs Rochford    A few years ago, Jeff Rochford considered moving out of New York, York, “where he’s lived in all  his life. “Crime was out of control, the economy was in mess. It was becoming a dangerous  place to live. But the clampdown on crime has improved the city tremendously”. Mr. Mr. Rochford and his wife, Verda, live in a tiny one-bedroom apartment. Although it is expensive to live in Manhattan, Mr. Rochford says he feeds off the city’s energy and would not live anywhere else. “Here we’ve got everything at our fingertips. Anything you want is available 24 hours a day. “Mrs. Rochford, however, who grew up on a farm in the country, says she has a “love-hate” relationship with New York. “I hate that feeling of being closed in. We wish we could buy a bigger house”, she says. “We’re trying to save up for a bigger home”. D. THE HOMELESS PERSON- Gerry Brown   Begging for coins on Fifth Avenue, Gerry Brown doesn’t display an ounce of self-pity. “A lot  of wealthy people live here and good luck to them. I know a lot of them and they give me money because they like me”. Gerry, Gerry, 44, has been unemployed for five years. He stays at a friend’s house and comes into the city center every day. “I do odd jobs”. He gets financial  support and food stamps each month from the State. The rest of the time he earns money  by going through rubbish bins and picking out cans and bottles for recycling. “I find stuff, like



 

televisions and radios and sell them”, he says. He is experienced enough to know to look  after himself. “I know where to get a free shower. I know where to get food – the supermarkets, the restaurants – they all give it away.”  Taken from: Fast Track to FCE Longman Pearson Education Limited Li mited 2001 Who spends a lot of money for the benefit of others?

Select one: a. Sherrin Bernstein. b. Mr. and Mrs. Rochford. c. Mr. and Mrs. Miles. d. Gerry Brown.

Question 4

Read the text "Gateway to the Global Village" and answer the following question:

Britain’s capital is a treasure trove of foreign culture. People from all over the world live in

Mark 0.0 out of 1.0

London and the result is a thrilling multiculturalism: cafés, restaurants, shops and markets offer you the world on your doorstep. Come and meet people who are…  A. Indian   After the Irish, the Indian community community is the second largest in London. The first Indians arrived in 1597 and more came after the founding of the East India trading company in the seventeenth century. century. Numbers increased when India became independent in 1947 19 47 but the community really took off in the 1950s and 1960s with employment opportunities around  Heathrow airport. Although “Little Indians” exist all over London, the most striking is the district of Southhall in West London, not far from the airport. Here Indian foodstalls and  video shops are everywhere, spicy aromas fill the air, and women stroll around wearing the typical colourful sari, just as in India. In McDonald’s, the piped music is refreshingly Indian. B. Portuguese  The supermarkets and shops in Lambeth and Stockwell Roads are the most obvious indication that you are in “Little Portugal”, but there is much more to this community than that. Over 20,000 Portuguese live south of the River Thames. The majority have come from the island of Madeira rather than from the mainland of Portugal. This close-knit community  is mad about football and folk-dancing and holds its own carnival every February. It’s a community that is determined to hold on to its traditions and it’s a great place to experience Madeiran culture. C. Caribbean  When the ship Emperor Windrush docked in 1948 with its 500 immigrants, it marked the start of the main period of Caribbean immigration, stimulated by British economic  expansion. Since then, over 300,000 have established vibrant communities all around  London. The greatest Caribbean celebration is the Notting Hill Carnival, now Europe’s largest street party, which takes place every August. However, Brixton, in South London, is the hub of the community. As you step out of the Underground station into Brixton Market, your senses are stimulated by the noise, the bright colors and the rhythmic sound of  Caribbean music. This is one of the best places to shop for food in London. However, the area has become a very popular place to live and prices are rising. D. Japanese  Finchley and Hendon in North London are the principal centers for Japanese people. The national affection for golf has had a noticeable effect on these areas – if you drive up Finchley Road, you have an almost unlimited choice of golf shops and courses. Other than this, there is little evidence of a community. Although there are restaurants and food stores here, most socializing takes place at home. It isn’t as permanent as other communities, either – many Japanese arrive on five-year contracts in the banking and technology sectors and then return home afterwards. The best restaurants tend to be in central London, where most of the community works. E. Polish  The Polish community isn’t as distinct as some other ethnic communities in London. Andrzej  Morawicz, President of a well-known Polish club, puts this down to integration. “When you are a large enough community community,, it’s easy to hold on to your culture and customs. In comparison, the Polish community has become part of British society to a large extent, so keeping up traditions isn’t so easy”. All the same, you can hear Polish conversations along  King Street in Hammmersmith, West London, where newsagents’ windows are full of 

  

 

advertisements in Polish for the benefit of the local community. There are also plenty of  clubs, restaurants and food shops that help to keep traditions alive. There is even a daily  Polish-language newspaper, Dziennik Polski.

Select one: a. Caribbean. b. Portuguese. c. Japanese. d. Indian.
