剑桥雅思9口语Test4参考答案－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－答案编辑者：上海环球雅思名师李宁（英国剑桥国际考试委员会IGCSE & A Level口语考官）Sam(British), Maria(American)微博：环球雅思李宁Part1The examiner asks the candidates about him/herself, his/her home, work or studiesand other familiar topics.EXAMPLEBicyclesHow popular are bicycles in your home town?[why?]Unfortunately, bikes are not very popular in my home town. I think this is a result of a few things. Firstly, my home town is too far away from the other local townsand cities to travel by bicycle so instead people choose to travel by car. Secondly, my hometown is very hilly, and many people are too lazy to cycle around the steephills. Most people are also fairly well off, so they can afford a car. They thinkcars are faster and more convenient, so bicycles are not so common.How often do you ride a bicycle? [ why/ why not?]I ride my bicycle everyday. I ride my bike to work everyday from Monday to Friday,and I like to go on bike trips into the countryside on the weekend. I find cyclinga relaxing way to exercise and stay healthy.Do you think that bicycles are suitable for all ages?[why/ why not?]I do not think cycling on the road is not suitable for all ages. Some y oung children, and even some very old people, are not aware enough to cycle on the road. Similarly, people who have not passed their driving test may not be aware of the rules of theroad, and could cause an accident. I am in full support of introducing a cyclingproficiency exam to improve to standards of cyclists on the road, and to reduceaccidents and fatalities.What are the advantages of a bicycle compared to a car?[why]Cycling is far cleaner for the environment. Admittedly, bicycles are slower thancars, but with so many cars on the road, it is actually sometimes faster to travelby bike than by car, especially at rush hour when there are lots of traffic jams!In London, new 'Cycle Superhighways' have been introduced, where cars cannot go.By allowing cyclists this space, it is often faster to cross the city by bicyclethan by car!PART 2Describe a person who has done a lot of work to help people.You should say:Who this person is/wasWhere this person lives/livedWhat he/she has done to help peopleAnd explain how you know about this person.You will have to talk about this topic for one to two minutes.You have one minute to think about what you are going to say.You can make some notes to help you if you wish.My brother has done more to help other people in his life than anyone else I know.He has good moral standards; if there is an old lady trying to cross the road, hewill always stop to help her. If a pregnant lady is standing up on the bus, he will always offer her his seat. In school, he would always offer to help and explain things to his classmates if they didn't understand.Not only is he kind and thoughtful in everyday life, but on top of this he completed a charity walk from Lands End to John O'Groats, over 1,500 kilometers across Britain.This is a fantastic achievement in itself, but he also managed to raise over ￡1000 for charity!Furthermore, he volunteered every Saturday for a year at a local charity shop, Oxfam, which raises money for people living in poverty. He is an extremely selfless person, who gets the most pleasure in life from helping other people rather than himself.PART 3Discussion topics:Helping other people in the communityExamples questions:What are some of the ways people can help others in the community?which is most important?I think one of the best ways to get involved and help in the community is to volunteerat a local charity. I volunteered at a wildlife conservation trust when I was 15.Everyday in the summer holiday, I would be outside in the woods and the countryside, helping to build eco-friendly footpaths, fences and bridges, so people could enjoy the forest park without damaging the local wildlife and habitats. It was a greatway to stay active, have fun, make friends and help the community.Why do you think some people like to help other people?Helping other people makes you feel good about yourself, especially when they show their thanks and gratitude. You get a sense of pride and fulfilment, knowing thatyou did something worthwhile to help change someone else's life.If more people were generous with their time and helped other people, the world would be a better place.Some people say that people help others in the community more now than they didin the past. Do you agree or disagree?I am not sure, I will have to ask my Dad about that one! He is much older than meso he is in a better position to compare society from 40 years ago to society today! Over the past 20 years, I know the British government has encouraged schools to play a more active role in the community, and to encourage students to take part involunteering and community activities, so I would like to think that there has been a rise in community kindness.Community servicesExample questions:What types of services, such as libraries or health centers, are available to thepeople who live in your area? Do you think there are enough of them?In my hometown, in England, there are lots of libraries and health centres inthe local area that offer a wide range of free services. The libraries have modernised and now offer computer and internet services, as well as ebooks and CD's for loan.These are useful for lots of people, especially poorer people who maybe cannot afford to buy books and CD's, or who don't have access to computers or the internet at home.Which groups of people generally need most support in a community?why?Likewise, lots of government funded community health centres have also openedup to offer support and increase awareness about issues such as sexual health,pregnancy and domestic violence, as well as offer guidance and treatment for diseases such as cancer and AIDS. These are especially useful for young people, who maybehave questions about sex and relationships but are too embarrassed to ask theirparents, or who are worried about older relatives with a terminal illness.Who do you think should pay for the services that are available to the people ina community? Should it be the government or individual people?In the UK, the government pays for all community services such as libraries,hospitals and schools. While I fundamentally agree that governments should offerthese services for free to all its citizens, I also understand that in other countries,this issue can be very complicated. I think everyone needs to sit down together and vote on how to prioritise national budgets and tax levels.感谢阅读，欢迎大家下载使用！。

剑桥雅思真题9-写作(Test 4 附高分范文)

剑桥雅思真题9—写作（Test 4 附高分范文）Writing Task 1You should spend about 20 minutes on this task.Write at least 150 words.参考范文1：The graph shows energy consumption in the US from 1980 to 2012, and projected consumption to 2030.Petrol and oil are the dominant fuel sources throughout this period, with 35 quadrillion (35q) units used in 1980，rising to 42q in 2012. Despite some initial fluctuation, from 1995 there was a steady increase. This is expected to continue, reaching 47q in 2030.Consumption of energy derived from natural gas and coal is similar over the period. From 20q and 15q respectively in 1980，gas showed an initial fall and coal a gradual increase，with the two fuels equal between 1985 and 1990. Consumption has fluctuated since 1990 but both now provide 24q. Coal is predicted to increase steadily to 31q in 2030, whereas after 2014, gas will remain stable at 25q.In 1980, energy from nuclear, hydro- and solar/wind power was equal at only 4q. Nuclear has risen by 3q, and solar/wind by 2. After slight increases, hydropower has fallen back to the 1980 figure. It is expected to maintain this level until 2030, while the others should rise slightly after 2025.Overall, the US will continue to rely on fossil fuels, with sustainable and nuclear energysources remaining relatively insignificant.参考范文2：The line graph provides information about the consumption of energy by fuel in the United States of America since 1980 with projections until 2030.The most dominant fuel sources throughout the period are petrol and oil. Starting with 35 quadrillion units in 1980, it reached about 42 quadrillions in 2013. It is estimated that by 2030 this fuel source will reach 48 quadrillion units.Consumption of energy derived from coal and natural gas is quite smaller. From 20 and 15 quadrillion units in the beginning of the period, natural gas had a slight decline and coal a gradual increase. The two fuels were equal from 1985 to 1990, when coal began to lead. It is predicted that coal will increase steadily to 32 quadrillion units in 2030, while natural gas will remain stable at 25 quadrillion units.The least prevailing fuel sources in this period are nuclear, hydropower, solar and wind. All of the fuels started with 4 quadrillion units in 1980. Thereafter, nuclear risen to 7 quadrillion units in 2010, while at the same time solar and wind increased only by 1 quadrillion unit. Hydropower had some insignificant rises and fell to the 1980 figure. It is predicted that all these fuels will maintain their levels until 2025, when nuclear, solar and wind will rise slightly.Overall, the United States of America will continue to rely on petrol and oil with less significant usage of sustainable, nuclear and environmentally friendly fuel.Writing Task 2You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.Write about the following topic:Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.Write at least 250 words.参考范文：Every year several languages die out. Some people think that this is not important, because life will be easier if there are fewer languages in the world. I do not agree with this opinion. Language, other than communication, has many other functions.To begin with, different languages make the world more interesting. If all men are speaking the same language, it would be like all men are wearing the same clothes, the world would be monotonic and boring. The society needs different dialects and accents.Another important reason is that language is the carrier of culture. Every specific nation passes their customs and traditions through language. Sometimes language is a symbol of unity. People speak the same language feel close to each other. The language helps keep their culture alive and gives them a sense of belonging.Last but not least, language determines our thinking patterns. When one language dies out, we not only lose a way of speaking, but lose a way of thinking.Some people may think communication would be much easier if we all speak the samelanguage. However, we should commit that sometimes it is convenient to express real feelings in dialects and accents.In conclusion, a language, no matter how few its speakers are, is invaluable cultural heritage of human beings. Therefore, we should cherish this wealth, protect language diversity and carry all languages down from generation to generation.。

Born Maria Sklodowska in Poland in 1867, she is famous for her work on radioactivity, and was twice a winner of the Nobel Prize. With her husband, Pierre Curie, and Henri Becquerel, she was awarded the 1903 Nobel Prize for Physics, and was then sole winner of the 1911 Nobel Prize for Chemistry. She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize.From childhood, Marie was remarkable for her prodigious memory, and at the age of 16 won a gold medal on completion of her secondary education. Because her father lost his savings through bad investment, she then had to take work as a teacher. Form her earnings she was able to finance her sister Bronia’s medical studies in Paris, on the understanding that Bronia would, in turn, later help her to get an education.In 1891 this promise was fulfilled and Marie went to Paris and began to study at the Sorbonne (the University of Paris). She often worked far into the night and lived on little more than bread and butter and tea. She came first in the examination in the physical sciences in 1893, and in 1894 was placed second in the examination in mathematical sciences. It was not until the spring of that year that she was introduced to Pierre Curie.Their ,marriage in 1895 marked the start of a partnership that was soon to achieve results of world significance. Following Henri Becquerel’s discovery in 1896 of a new phenomenon, which Marie later called ‘radioactivity’, Marie Curie decided to find out if the radioactivity discovered in uranium was to be found in other elements. She discovered that this was true for thorium.Turing her attention to minerals, she found her interest drawn to pitchblende, a mineral whose radioactivity, superior to that of pure uranium, could be explained only by the presence in the ore of small quantities of an unknown substance of very high activity. Pierre Curie joined her in the work that she had undertaken to resolve this problem, and that led to the discovery of the new elements, polonium and radium. While Pierre Curie devoted himself chiefly to the physical study of the new radiations, Marie Curie struggled to obtain pure radium in the metallic state. This was achieved with the help of the chemist Andre-Louis Debierne, one of Pier re Curie’s pupils. Based on the results of this research, Marie Curie received her Doctorate of Science, and in 1903 Marie and Pierre shared with Becquerel the Nobel Prize for Physics for the discovery of radioactivity.The births of Marie’s two daughters, lrène and Eve, in 1897 and 1904 failed to interrupt her scientific work. She was appointed lecturer in physics at the Ecole Normale Supérieure for girls in Sèvres, France (1900), and introduced a method of teaching basedon experimental demonstrations. In December 1904 she was appointed chief assistant in the laboratory directed by Pierre Curie.The sudden death of her husband in 1906 was a bitter blow to Marie Curie, but was also a turning point in her career: henceforth she was to devote all her energy to completing alone the scientific work that they had undertaken. On May 13, 1906, she was appointed to the professorship that had been left vacant on her husband’s death, becoming the first woman to teach at the Sorbonne. In 1911 she was awarded the Noble Prize for Chemistry for the isolation of a pure form of radium.During World War I, Marie Curie, with the help of her daughter Irène, devoted herself to the development of the use of X-radiography, including the mobile units which came to be known as ‘Little Curies’, used for the treatment of wounded soldiers. In 1918 the Radium Institute, whose staff Irène had joined, began to operate in earnest, and became a centre for nuclear physics and chemistry. Marie Curie, now at the highest point of her fame and, from 1922, a member of the Academy of Medicine, researched the chemistry of radioactive substances and their medical applications.In 1921, accompanied by her two daughters, Marie Curie made a triumphant journey to the United States to raise funds for research on radium. Women there presented her with a gram of radium for her campaign. Marie also gave lectures in Belgium, Brazil, Spain and Czechoslovakia and, in addition, had the satisfaction of seeing the development of the Curie Foundation in Paris, and the inauguration in 1932 in Warsaw of the Radium Institute, where her sister Bronia became director.One of Marie Cure’s outstanding achievements was to have understood the need to accumulate intense radioactive sources, not only to treat illness but also to maintain an abundant supply for research. The existence in Paris at the Radium Institute of a stock of 1.5 grams of radium made a decisive contribution to the success of the experiments undertaken in the years around 1930. This work prepared the way for the discovery of the neutron by Sir James Chadwick and , above all, for the discovery in 1934 by lrène andFrédéric Joliot-Curie of artificial radioactivity. A few months after this discovery, Marie Curie died as a result of leukaemia caused by exposure to radiation. She had often carried test tubes containing radioactive isotopes in her pocket, remarking on the pretty blue-green light they gave off.Her contribution to physics had been immense, not only in her own work, the importance of which had been demonstrated by her two Nobel Prizes, but because of her influence on subsequent generations of nuclear physicists and chemists.Questions 1—6Do the following statements agree with the information given in Reading Passage 1? In boxes 1—6 on your answer sheet, writeTRUE if the statement agrees with the informationFALSE if the statement contradicts the informationNOT GIVEN if there is no information on this1 Marie Curie’s husband was a joint winner of both Marie’s Nobel Prizes.2 Marie became interested in science when she was a child.3 Marie was able to attend the Sorbonne because of her sister’s financial contribution.4 Marie stopped doing research for several years when her children were born.5 Marie took over the teaching position her husband had held.6Marie’s sister Bronia studied the med ical uses of radioactivity.Questions 7—13Complete the notes below.Choose ONE WORD from the passage for each answer.You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions 14—26 which and based on Reading Passage 2 below.Young children’s sense of identityA. A sense of self develops in young children by degrees. The process can usefully bethought of in terms of the gradual emergence of two somewhat separate features: the self as a subject, and the self as an object. William James introduced the distinction in 1892, and contemporaries of his, such as Charles Cooley, added to the developingdebate. Ever since then psychologists have continued building on the theory.B.According to James, a child’s first step on the road to self-understanding can be seen asthe recognition that he or she exists. This is an aspect of the self that he labeled ‘self-as-subject’, and he gave it various elements. These included an awareness of one’s own agency (i.3. one’s power to act), and an awareness of one’s distinctiveness from other people. These features gradually emerge as infants explore their world and interact with caregivers. Cooley (1903) suggested that a sense of the self-as-subject wasprimarily concerned with being able to exercise power. He proposed that the earliest examples of this are an infant’s attempts to control physical objects, such as toys or his or her own limbs. This Is followed by attempts to affect the behaviour of other people.For example, infants learn that when they cry or smile someone responds to them. C.Another powerful source of information for infants about the effects they can have onthe world around them is provided when others mimic them. Many parents spend malot of time, particularly in the early months, copying their infant’s vocalizations andexpressions. In addition, young children enjoy looking in mirrors, where themovements they can see are dependent upon their own movements. This is not to say that infants recognize the reflection as their own image (a later development).However, Lewis and Brooks-Gunn (1979) suggest that infants’ developingunderstanding that the movements they see in the mirror are contingent on their own, leads to a growing awareness that they are distinct form other people. This is because they, and only they, can change the reflection in the mirror.D.This understanding that children gain of themselves as active agent continues todevelop in their attempts to co-operate with others in play. Dunn (1988) points out that it is in such day-to –day relationships and interactions that the child’sunderstanding of his-or herself emerges. Empirical investigations of the self-as-subject in young children are, however, rather scarce because of difficulties of communication: even if young infants can reflect on their experience, they certainly cannot express this aspect of the self directly.E.Once children have acquired a certain level of self-awareness, they begin to placethemselves in whole series of categories, which together play such an important part in defining them uniquely as ‘themselves’. This second step in the development of a full sense of self is what James called the ‘self-as-object’. This has been seen by many to be the aspect of the self which is most influenced by social elements, since it is made up of social roles (such as student, brother, colleague) and characteristics which derive their meaning from comparison or interaction with other people (such as trustworthiness, shyness, sporting ability).F.Cooley and other researchers suggested a close connection between a person’s ownunderstanding of their identity and other people’s understanding of it. Cooley believed that people build up their sense of identity form the reactions of others to them, and form the view they believe others have of them. He called the self-as-object the‘looking-glass self’, since people come to see themselves as they are reflected in others.Mead (1934) went even further and saw the self and the social world as inextricably bound together: ‘The self is essentially a social structure, and it arises in socialexperience… it is impossible to conceive of a self arising outside of social experience.’G.Lewis and Brooks-Gunn argued that an important developmental milestone is reachedwhen children become able to recognize themselves visually without the support of seeing contingent movement. This recognition occurs around their second birthday. In one experiment, Lewis and Brooks-Gunn (1979) dabbed some red powder on the noses of children who were playing in front of a mirror, and then observed how often they touched their noses. The psychologists reasoned that if the children knew what they usually looked like, they would be surprised by the unusual red mark and would starttouching it. On the other hand, they found that children of 15 to 18 months aregenerally not able to recognize themselves unless other cues such as movement are present.H.Finally, perhaps the most graphic expressions of self-awareness in general can be seenin the displays of rage which are most common from 18 months to 3yearss of age. In a longitudinal study of groups of three or four children, Bronson (1975) found that the intensity of the frustration and anger in their disagreements increased sharply between the ages of 1 and 2 years. Often, the children’s disagreements involved a struggle overa toy that none of them had played with before or after the tug-of-war: the childrenseemed to be disputing ownership rather than wanting to play with it. Although it may be less marked in other societies, the link between the sense of ‘self’and of‘ownership’is a notable feature of childhood in Western societies.Questions 14—19Reading Passage 2 has eight paragraphs, A—H.Which paragraph contains the following information?Write the correct letter, A—H, in boxes 14—19 on your answer sheet.NB You may use any letter more than once.14 an account of the method used by researchers in a particular study15 the role of imitation in developing a sense of identity16 the age at which children can usually identify a static image of themselves17a reason for the limitations of scientific research into ‘self-as-subject’18 reference to a possible link between culture and a particular form of behaviour19 examples of the wide range of features that contribute t o the sense of ‘self-as-object’Questions 20—23Look at the following findings (Questions 20—23) and the list of researchers below.Match each finding with the correct researcher or researchers, A—E.Write the correct letter, A—E, in boxes 20—23 on your answer sheet.20 A sense of identity can never be formed without relationships with other people.21A child’s awareness of self is related to a sense of mastery over things and people.22 At a certain a ge, children’s sense of identity leads to aggressive behaviour.23Questions 24—26Complete the summary below.Choose ONE WORD ONLY from the passage for each answer.Write your answers in boxes 24—26 on your answers sheet.How children acquire a sense of identityFirst, children come to realize that they can have an effect on the world around them,For example by handling objects, or causing the image to move when they face a 24 ______. This aspect of self-awareness is difficult to research directly, because of 25______ problems. Secondly, children start to become aware of how they are viewed by others. One important stage in this process is the visual recognition of themselves which usually occurs when they reach the age of two. In Western societies at least, the development of self awareness is often linked to a sense of 26 ______, and can lead to disputes.READING PASSAGE 3You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions 27—40, which are based on Reading Passage 3 on the following pages.Questions 27—30Reading Passage 3 has six paragraphs, A—F.Choose the correct heading for paragraph B—E from the list of headings below.27Paragraph B28Paragraph C29Paragraph D30Paragraph EThe Development ofMuseumsA.The conviction that historical relics provide infallible testimony about the past is rootedin the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when science was regarded asobjective and value free. As one writer observes: ‘Although it is now evident thatartefacts are as easily altered as chronicles, public faith in their veracity endures: atangible relic seems ipso facto real’. Such conviction was, until recently, reflected in museum displays. Museums used to look—and some still do—much like storage rooms of objects packed together in showcases: good for scholars who wanted to study the subtle differences in design, but not for the ordinary visitor, to whom it all looked alike.Similarly, the information accompanying the objects often made little sense to the lay visitor. The content and format of explanations dated back to a time when the museum was the exclusive domain of the scientific researcher.B.Recently, however, attitudes towards history and the way it should be presented haveal tered. The key word in heritage display is now ‘experience’, the more exciting thebetter and, if possible, involving all the senses. Good examples of this approach in the UK are the Jorvik Centre in York; the National Museum of Photography, Film andTelevision in Bradford; and the Imperial War Museum in London. In the US the trend emerged much earlier: Williamsburg has been a prototype for many heritagedevelopments in other parts of the world. No one can predict where the process will end. On so-called heritage sites the re-enactment of historical events is increasingly popular, and computers will soon provide virtual reality experiences, which will present visitors with a vivid image of the period of their choice, in which they themselves can act as if part of the historical environment. Such developments have been criticized as an intolerable vulgarization, but the success of many historical theme parks and similar locations suggests that the majority of the public does not share this opinion.C.In a related development, the sharp distinction between museum and heritage sites onthe one hand, and theme parks on the other, is gradually evaporating. They already borrow ideas and concepts from one another. For example, museums have adopted story lines for exhib itions, sites have accepted ‘theming’ as a relevant tool, and theme parks are moving towards more authenticity and research-based presentations. In zoos, animals are no longer kept in cages, but in great spaces, either in the open air or inenormous greenh ouses, such as the jungle and desert environments in Burgers’ Zoo in Holland. This particular trend is regarded as one of the major developments in thepresentation of natural history in the twentieth century.D.Theme parks are undergoing other changes, too, as they try to present more serioussocial and cultural issues, and move away from fantasy. This development is a response to market forces and, although museums and heritage sites have a special, ratherdistinct, role to fulfil, they are also operating in a very competitive environment, where visitors make choices on how and where to spend their free time. Heritage andmuseum experts do not have to invent stories and recreate historical environments to attract their visitors: their assets are already in place. However, exhibits must be bothbased on artefacts and facts as we know them, and attractively presented. Those who are professionally engaged in the art of interpreting history are thus in difficult position, as they must steer a narrow course betwee n the demands of ‘evidence’ and‘attractiveness’, especially given the increasing need in the heritage industry forincome-generating activities.E.It could be claimed that in order to make everything in heritage more ‘real’, historicalaccuracy must be increasingly altered. For example, Pithecanthropus erectus isdepicted in an Indonesian museum with Malay facial features, because thiscorresponds to public perceptions. Similarly, in the Museum of Natural History inWashington, Neanderthal man is shown making a dominant gesture to his wife. Such presentations tell us more about contemporary perceptions of the world than about our ancestors. There is one compensation, however, for the professionals who make these interpretations: if they did not provide the interpretation, visitors would do it for themselves, based on their own ideas, misconceptions and prejudices. And no matter how exciting the reciting the result, it would contain a lot more bias than thepresentations provided by experts.F.Human bias is inevitable, but another source of bias in the representation of historyhas to do with the transitory nature of the materials themselves. The simple fact is that not everything from history survives the historical process. Castles, palaces andcathedrals have a longer lifespan than the dwellings of ordinary people. The sameapplies to the furnishing and other contents of the premises. In a town like Leyden in Holland, which in the seventeenth century was occupied by approximately the same number of inhabitants as today, people lived within the walled town, an area morethan five times smaller than modern Leyden. In most of the houses several familieslived together in circumstances beyond our imagination. Yet in museums, fine period rooms give only an image of the lifestyle of the upper class of that era. No wonder that people who stroll around exhibitions are filled with nostalgia; the evidence in museums indicates that life was so much better in past. This notion is induced by the bias in its representation in museums and heritage centres.Questions 31—36Choose the correct letter, A, B, C or D.Write the correct letter in boxes 31—36 on your answer sheet.31 Compared with today’s museums, those of the past.A did not present history in a detailed way.B were not primarily intended for the public.C were more clearly organized.D preserved items with greater care.32 According to the writer, current trends in the heritage industryA emphasise personal involvement.B have their origins in Your and London.C rely on computer images.D reflect minority tastes.33 The writer says that museums, heritage sites and theme parksA often work in close partnership.B try to preserve separate identities.C have similar exhibits.D are less easy to distinguish than before.34The writer says that in preparing exhibits for museums, expertsA should pursue a single objective.B have to do a certain amount of language translation.C should be free from commercial constraints.D have to balance conflicting priorities.35In paragraph E, the writer suggests that some museum exhibitsA fail to match visitor expectations.B are based on the false assumptions of professionals.C reveal more about present beliefs than about the past.D allow visitors to make more use of their imagination.36 The passage ends by noting that our view of history is biased becauseA we fail to use our imagination.B only very durable objects remain from the past.C we tend to ignore things that displease us.D museum exhibits focus too much on the local area.Questions 37—40Do the following statements agree with the information given in Reading Passage 3? In boxes 37—40 on your answer sheet, writeTRUE if the statement agrees with the informationFALSE if the statement contradicts the informationNOT GIVEN if there is no information on this37 Consumers prefer theme parks which avoid serious issues.38 More people visit museums than theme parks.39 The boundaries of Leyden have changed little since the seventeenth century.40 Museums can give a false impression of how life used to be.WRITINGWRITING TASK 1You should spend about 20 minutes on this task.Write at least 150 words.U.S. Energy Consumption by Fuel (1980—2030)WRITING TASK 2 You should spend abo9ut 40 minutes on this task.Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.Write at least 250 words.SPEAKINGPART 1The examiner asks the candidate about him/herself, his/her home, work or studies and other familiar topics.EXAMPLEBicycles● How popular are bicycles in your home town?
