Sunday. I like this day very much. You needn't hurry anywhere and you may go wherever you like after your week's work. On this day I wake up later than usual. But sometimes I don't get up till nine or ten o'clock. I read morning newspapers or listen to music. As soon as I get up I air the room, make my bed and do morning exercises. Then I have breakfast, clear away the dishes and wash up. Two more hours for getting ready with my homework and I am free. I meet my friends and we discuss our plans together. We may go to the cinema or theatre, to museums and parks. Last Sunday we went to the Botanical Garden. There were many beds of spring flowers there: red, yellow and blue. People in light clothes were walking along the paths. The air was fresh and promising. It was very pleasant to spend time there. In fine weather we also like to be out of town. We find a nice place somewhere in the forest or on the bank of the river. We lie in the sun, play different games and swim. In winter my friends and I often go to the skating-rink. Skating is my favourite kind of sport, but I like to ski too. When the weather is bad my friends come to my place. We listen to music or go to the cinema. We like films about the life of our contemporaries abroad. On the way home we usually discuss the films we've seen. In the evening all the members of our family get together. We have our supper, make plans for tomorrow, watch TV or read books. Reading is my hobby. Sometimes we receive guests at our place or go out for a walk. In general I enjoy my days off very much.

54. Socialising can help reduce culture shock. a) True b) False c) Not given 55. Try to like everything about the new culture. a) True b) False c) Not given Questions 56-60 New graduate, new job. Summer turns most people’s thoughts to holidays, but those leaving university or school will be thinking about the big, wide world of work. Whatever job you decide to tackle first, it will prove to be a valuable training ground. Filing or typing memos may not be your idea of a great career move, but be prepared to learn these lowly tasks. You may have a top degree, but no boss will hire you if you can’t answer the telephone in a proper manner. Most graduates and school leavers will be coming into the employment market in the summer, so competition will be tough. Start searching sooner rather than later. You should highlight any work experience you have and say you are keen to learn. It also helps to research the firms and what the job involves. Remember that most junior hiring decisions are made on personality. Firms are looking for reliable, conscientious and punctual employees. While most employers want Junior staff to take the initiative and be receptive to their ideas, you must be realistic about timeframes for promotion. And even if you end up spending your career doing something other than your first job, bear in mind that you will learn very useful and often transferable skills in the process. Aim to be hired by the firm that has the best reputation for employee training. At the interview you should ask about what sort of experience you will gain. The faster you can pick up the experience, the faster you can move up the corporate ladder. A good company will start you in a ‘proper’ job, which is mixed with technical and personal training. As well as learning computer and other professional skills, good firms also offer training which focuses on interaction with colleagues. In many companies trainees are allotted a ‘mentor’, a senior member of staff (not their immediate boss) who they can consult on difficult areas. New employees are encouraged to socialize and network with other trainees, which is again another way of finding support and advice but this time through their peers. In fact once installed in your new position, the first thing is to work out the pecking order. Many people try to deny it but office politics does exist. If you’ve never been in a work environment before, use your first job to learn about how to handle it or how to avoid it. 56. The writer points out that in a first job you have to. a) use your qualifications. b) expect to do menial jobs. C) be good at communication d) go through rigorous training 57. What should jobseekers do? a) Make sure they know the competition b) Work n a temporary summer )ob first c) Show evidence of any previous positions d) Apply for a range of jobs 58. The writer warns people in their first jobs,.. a) not to want to move on too quickly b) not to waste time learning nontransferable skills c) they should be model employees to make an impression d) that they will have to accept the company’s ideas 59. The writer suggests that if you get a job with a company which offers training, you will... a) gain worthwhile experience quickly b) benefit from its good reputation c) meet senior people d) be trained in the latest technology 60.

from home and it seemed to me the back of beyond. It was a big rambling place, and I was the only help they had. I got one and three pence a week. They weren’t bad to me, but they used to go out a lot and I’d be in the place on my own. I’d go and look in all the cupboards, under beds, I was literally terrified. I helped the mistress make butter, and sometimes I used to milk the cows as well. Anyway, I didn’t last long. I got so lonely. I went to a butcher’s wife near Wellingborough. She was a terror. There was another maid there, and fortunately we got on well together. We could laugh and cover up for each other if we did anything wrong. We slept in an attic, and we had to be up at six o’clock in the morning. If we were a minute or two late, she’d be there and want to know why. I reckon she laid awake all night long, just for the pleasure of catching us out in the morning.
I had fifteen places in twelve years, and only at one of them was I treated like a human being. They didn’t think of us as people like themselves. We were different. Occasionally my father and brother used to come and see me, and I felt really unhappy when they left. I wanted to say “Take me with you”, but of course they couldn’t. You had to work; your parent couldn’t afford to keep you. Sometimes, if I’d been home, when the time came for me to go back I used to pray that the train wouldn’t come or that it would crash. But it always came.
