Reading Read the text. Running a business can be stressful at any age, but when you're just 15 and have to juggle it with going to school and doing your homework, it's even more remarkable. And that's exactly what young entrepreneur, Luisa Bundy, designer of a range of soft toys called Little Bundles, has done. It all started when Luisa's mother bought her some modelling clay for her 12th birthday and she began experimenting with making small model figures based on her friends at school. The first batch went down a storm, and her friends encouraged her to make more. So she did, handing them out at Easter instead of eggs. As word spread around the school, Luisa introduced a form so she could take orders during the day and make the figures over the weekend. Her mother used to come home to find piles of order forms spread out on the kitchen table. She thought Luisa was going to get into serious trouble for doing business in the playground. But teachers' names were on the order forms too. Two years later, Luisa had made 13,000 Little Bundies. Prior to this, she had spent most weekends and holidays researching craft fairs across the south of England. At one fair she sold 250 figures in an hour at £2 a go. And she even researched the number of people that usually turned up to each fair, so she knew exactly the number she needed to make for the customers there. When she noticed that the majority of customers were buying the toys as gifts she designed a range of gift cards to accompany them. At this point, the volume of work was becoming overwhelming and she decided to seek advice from Sir Richard Branson, who had begun his Virgin empire as a teenager. On his advice she set up Bundy Creations Ltd, with her mother as director. Last year they took on the cost of exhibiting at a craft fair in the north of England, and it paid off. They were spotted by a major toy manufacturer, which quickly signed the figures to a three-year soft toy licensing deal. According to the manufacturer, they have already practically sold out. Task 1.

3 четверть. Аудирование You will year two people talking about the towns where they grew up. First, you will have some time to look at questions 1-9 (30 seconds). You will see that there is an example. Listen carefully. Maureen Time goes so quickly -1 can't believe that I will have been here for five years on Saturday. Gordon That's a long time. Where did you live before that? Maureen I lived in a small town, about 150 miles from Perth, on the south-west coast of Australia, called Albany. Gordon When you say "small", how small do you mean? Maureen Oh, around 12 000 people. Gordon What is it like growing up somewhere that small? Maureen said that the town is about 150 miles from Perth, so you should write 150 miles in your booklet. Now we shall begin. You should answer the questions as you listen. You have another chance to look at questions 1-3 (10 seconds). Now listen and answer questions 1-3. Maureen Time goes so quickly I can't believe that I will have been here for five years on Saturday. Gordon That's a long time. Where did you live before that? Maureen I lived in a small town, about 150 miles from Perth, on the south-west coast of Australia, called Albany. Gordon When you say "small", how small do you mean? Maureen Oh, around 12 000 people. Gordon What is it like growing up somewhere that small? Maureen Well, it has advantages. People tend to be much more friendly in small towns. You seem to get to know more people. The pace of life is such slower, everyone seems to have more time to talk and generally the lifestyle is much more relaxed. On the other hand, small-town life can be pretty boring. Obviously, you haven't got the same range of entertainments available as in the city, and unless you want to go into farming you have to move elsewhere to look for a job. Gordon So fanning is the main industry then? Maureen Well, actually, no. There is a lot of sheep and cattle fanning and more recently a lot of people have started to grow potatoes. However, the town was first established as a whaling base and although there isn't any whaling today, most people are still employed by the fishing industry. Gordon What's the weather like? Maureen In summer you get some fairly days, but it gets very windy. In winter, I guess the average temperature is about 15 degrees Celsius, and it gets really windy and it's very, very wet. Gordon Sounds lovely, I can see why you are here. Maureen Oh, come on, it's not all that bad. It's got a beautiful coastline, and beautiful beaches. You can drive for about 45 miles and you will come to absolutely deserted white beaches. You can be the only person swimming there. Gordon With that wind I'm not surprised! Maureen Don't de like that, we do get some good days. Anyway, where do you come from? Maureen goes on to ask Gordon about his home town. Look at questions 4-9 (30 seconds). Now answer questions 4-9. Gordon I come from a town called Watford, about 17 miles from the centre of London. Maureen Is it a big town? Gordon Not really. It has a population of around 80-90 000 but the whole area is built up so it is hard to say where Watford finishes and the other towns begin. Maureen Did you enjoy living there? Gordon Well, being so close to London has advantages. You get the latest films and music. There is always something going on and there is such a wide variety of different people and cultures that it is difficult to get bored. Of course all this has its downside - the cost of living is very expensive and most people cannot afford to go out very often. So although the entertainment is available you have to have a lot of money to enjoy it. Another problem is like most big cities there is a lot of crime and there are areas of London that are very dangerous. Maureen What are the main industries in Watford? Gordon Of course a lot of people commute into London but there is also a lot of local industry. Before desktop publishing, Watford used to be the centre of the printing industry in Britain. Also, there used to be a big factory manufacturing helicopter engines but that closed down about two years ago. Nowadays the biggest industries are electronics and light engineering. Maureen I suppose that it gets a lot of snow in England? London Not really. It usually snows once a year and it rarely lasts for more than two or three days. The weather is mainly cold and wet. Sometimes you get a light rain that lasts for weeks. Maureen Is there anything you miss particularly about living there? Gordon Near my parents’ house there is a large park. I suppose it is about 10 square miles in sixe and it has a canal and a river running through the middle of it. There are some nice walks, you can go fishing and there are good sport facilities. Sometimes I miss that. Maureen Would you like to go back? Gordon I don't know, I'm quite happy here at the moment. I like the weather. It's great to get up in the morning and know that it is going to be sunny. What about you? Maureen Probably but not for a long time yet. At the moment I enjoy the excitement of the city. My work and most of my friends are here and it is nice to know that there are so many facilities available. However, I think that Albany might be a good place to retire. It’s safe and it's easy to make friends there. Gordon I'm going to be here for a while too. I have just signed a new contract for my job which means that I'll be living here for at least another five years. Complete the table comparing two towns. Use no more than three words for each answer. Answer questions 1-6.
Write no more than three words for each answer. 7. What does Gordon like about the where he is living now? _______________________________________________________ 8. When does Maureen think she might go back to Albany? _______________________________________________________ 9. How long is Gordon's new contract? _______________________________________________________ Reading Read the text. Living with 'boomerang kids' Leaving school or college used to mean leaving home for good - but no longer. High property prices, student debt, and broken relationships mean that your child is highly likely to return home several times before finally making a go of it on their own. A survey last year for the Social Market Foundation revealed that one in four people aged between 20 and 30 said they had gone back twice or more since leaving home. One in eight had returned home more than three times! Perhaps unsurprisingly, the survey of 1,044 people showed that men were more likely to do this than women - 28 per cent of men, as opposed to 18 per cent of women. Suzie Hayman, counsellor, broadcaster, and author says that, while high property prices and student debt are both compelling factors pushing twenty-somethings back into the arms of their parents, it's not the whole story. She believes that many parents have brought this situation on themselves by not bringing their children up to be independent. She feels that mothers are often guilty of this with sons, doing all their washing, cooking, and clearing up into adulthood, leaving them ill-equipped for a life on their own. Today's children are driven everywhere and generally expect everything to come easily. Little wonder, then, that they race back to the security of home when things don't go well in the outside world. Despite this, most parents don't dread having their children return home - far from it. Many may secretly be delighted, because the child's departure may have revealed glaring holes in their relationship with each other. Other parents are keen for children to return because it makes them feel more valued. Often parents find it quite tough to go from being the whole world to their child to suddenly becoming unnecessary when they leave home. On the other hand, it can be enormously frustrating for parents, who may have only just adjusted to having an adult relationship again, to find themselves sharing their home with another adult - who insists on behaving as if they were still a child. Task 1. Are the statements are true (T) or false (F)? 1. Children often return to live with their parents because they can't afford to rent or buy a place to live._____ 2. The majority of people who come back to live with their parents are female._____ 3. According to research, the majority of men in their twenties return home to live with their parents._____ 4. Suzie Hayman believes that for many parents it is their own fault that their children return home to live._____ 5. Many parents are very happy when their children return home to live._____ Task 2. Match these expressions from the text with their meanings a-h.
