answer to each of the questions from 39 to 43.
Many children have music classes when they attend school. And it is thought that music can help them learn other
subjects better. Researeh has shown that it can improve children’s performances in certain subjects.
Some studies have shown that music training can help you understand your own language better. It could also help
you with learning a second one. Moreover, young people who have studied music also seem to get higher scores in
other subjects like maths. So it could be that these school subjects are connected in some way.
Music also helps you think of new ideas, and believe more in yourself. If you are learning the guitar, for example, it
can be really exciting when you are able to start composing your own pieces of music. One of the biggest benefits, of
course, is that listening to music can reduce your stress. And composing music can make you feel the same way.
Maybe your musical knowledge will even open up a great career path for you in the future!
(Adapted from Preliminary For Schools Trainer)

When it comes to ambition, no two people are alike. Every class has its outstanding students, every company has
its wonderful employees, and every family has its successful members. Then there is someone who is happy with
whatever life brings. So what makes us different ?
A person's desire to succeed depends on so many factors. He or she may have goals, but wiihout the ambition to get
started, they never take the first steps to achieve them. Similarly, those with an ambition but no clear goals tend to
begin many projects, but do not ever follow them till the end.
Although there are not any strict rules about how to 'teach' ambition or what decides it, many successful people do
share some things. Most scientists agree that it helps to have parents who encourage their children to try new
experiences, praise their successes, and accept their failures. In those families, kids often have much higher
confidence levels. They know how to set goals and keep trying until they achieve them. Money also plays an
important role. Those who are not very rich often want to earn money. It forces them to work hard all the time to
improve their life.
However, the desire for success can create its own stress. Working too hard to achieve success can lead to illnesses.
These days, even teens and young adults are feeling the stress. Trying to get into good colleges and find good jobs
has forced high school students to study harder than ever. For many, it is difficult to find the balance. One solution
may be to get together with family and friends, and do the things we enjoy. Most would agree that those values are
far more important than any wealth or success.

of the questions from 31 to 35.
Since the 19th century, companies have looked for better and cleaner ways of creating electricity. One UK company has
created a special type of floor made of square tiles. Under each square, there is a system that can create electricity very cheaply
when someone steps on it!
The design of the floor works very well when it is used in very busy areas. And the reason is that a lot of energy is created
simply because of the large numbers of people walking across the floor. The floor can have other uses too; one of them is to
record how many people visit a shopping centre.
This kind of information is very useful for shop owners because very often they want to know at which times of days they
have the highest numbers of customers, by the next time you visit shopping centre, have a careful look at the floor that you are
walking across!

Today, text-messaging has probably become young people’s most common form of communication. Some teachers
think that because of this, young people are not writing correctly at school. They fear that once students get used to it,
they will find it hard to switch back to using correct grammar and spelling. How did things begin this way?
It all began with e-mail, online chat rooms, and games. Then step by step young people made sentences, phrases
and words shorter. As text-messaging continued to become popular, people invented more and more words. Today, it
is like a real language with its own grammar and vocabulary. The growth of text-messaging has raised an important
question: As students become fluent in text-messaging, do their writing skills suffer?
People have different ideas about the effects of text-messaging on students’ writing skills. Some say that students
are losing the ability to write long, correct sentences. Others say that text-messaging is having a good effect on the
language students use in their schoolwork. It shows that they are creative and good at expressing themselves. And if
students can keep the two systems separate — one for textmessaging and one for school - this will help students
appreciate reading and writing more.
Some people suggest that one way to reduce the bad effects of text-messaging is to find ways to use technology as a
positive learning tool. For example students can be allowed to type their assignments in a cell phone message and
send them to their teachers but they must type correctly. In this way, students are using the technology that they are
familiar with to communicate in a form of language suitable for schoolwork. It shows students that text-messaging is
fine for social conummication, but correct grammar and spelling are necessary for communication in school.

Since the 19th century, companies have looked for better and cleaner ways of creating electricity. One UK company
has created a special type of floor made of square tiles. Under each square, there is a system that can create electricity
very cheaply when someone steps on it!
The design of the floor works very well when it is used in very busy areas. And the reason is that a lot of energy is
created simply because of the large numbers of people walking across the floor. The floor can have other uses too;
one of them is to record how many people visit a shopping centre.
This kind of information is very useful for shop owners because very often they want to know at which times of
days they have the highest numbers of customers, by the next time you visit shopping centre, have a careful look at
the floor that you are walking across!

Today, text-messaging has probably become young people’s most common form of communication. Some teachers
think that because of this, young people are not writing correctly at school. They fear that once students get used to it,
they will find it hard to switch back to using correct grammar and spelling. How did things begin this way?
It all began with e-mail, online chat rooms, and games. Then step by step young people made sentences, phrases
and words shorter. As text-messaging continued to become popular, people invented more and more words. Today, it
is like areal language with its own grammar and vocabulary. The growth of text-messaging has raised an important
question: As students become fluent in text-messaging, do then writing skills suffer?
People have different ideas about the effects of text-messaging on students’ writing skills. Some say that students
are losing the ability to write long, correct sentences. Others say that text-messaging is having a good effect on the
language students use in their schoolwork. It shows that they are creative and good at expressing themselves. And if
students can keep the two systems separate - one for text-messaging and one for school - this will help students
appreciate reading and writing more.
Some people suggest that one way to reduce the bad effects of text-messaging is to find ways to use technology as a
positive learning tool. For example, students can be allowed to type then assignments in a cell phone message and
send them to then teachers, but they must type correctly. In this way, students are using the technology that they are
familiar with to communicate in a form of language suitable for schoolwork. It shows students that text-messaging is
fine for social communication, but correct grammar and spelling are necessary for communication in school.

Many children have music classes when they attend school. And it is thought that music can help them learn other
subjects better. Research has shown that it can improve children’s performances in certain subjects.
Some studies have shown that music training can help you understand your own language better. It could also help
you with learning a second one. Moreover, young people who have studied music also seem to get higher scores in
other subjects like maths. So it could be that these school subjects are connected in some way.
Music also helps you think of new ideas, and believe more in yourself. If you are learning the guitar, for example, it
can be really exciting when you are able to start composing your own pieces of music. One of the biggest benefits, of
course, is that listening to music can reduce your stress. And composing music can make you feel the same way.
Maybe your musical knowledge will even open up a great career path for you ỉn the future!

When it comes to ambition, no two people are alike. Every class has its outstanding students, every company has
its wonderful employees, and every family has its successful members. Then there is someone who is happy with
whatever life brings. So what makes us different?
A person’s desire to succeed depends on so many factors. He or she may have goals, but without the ambition to get
started, they never take the first steps to achieve them. Similarly, those with an ambition but no clear goals tend to
begin many projects, but do not ever follow them till the end.
Although there are not any strict rules about how to ‘teach’ ambition or what decides it, many successful people do
share some things. Most scientists agree that it helps to have parents who encourage then children to try new
experiences, praise their successes, and accept their failures. In those families, kids often have much higher
confidence levels. They know how to set goals and keep trying until they achieve them. Money also plays an
important role. Those who are not very rich often want to earn money. It forces them to work hard all the time to
improve then life.
However, the desire for success can create its own stress. Working too hard to achieve success can lead to illnesses.
These days, even teens and young adults are feeling the stress. Trying to get into good colleges and find good jobs
has forced high school students to study harder than ever. For many, it is difficult to find the balance. One solution
maybe to get together with family and friends, and do the things we enjoy. Most would agree that those values are far
more important than any wealth or success.
