Examination card №5
“A person you know is planning to move to your town or city. What do you think this person would like and dislike about living in your town or city? Why? Use specific reasons and details to develop your essay.”
A friend of mine from college is moving to my city, so I have been thinking about what she would and wouldn't like about it. I'd say the quality of life here, as far as fun and activities are
concerned, is very good. The quality of life isn't very good, though, in other important ways..
Living in a large city is exciting, but you pay a price for it. There are lots of interesting things to
do, and good restaurants with food from around the world. There are museums, art galleries, and
lots of movie theaters. However, the crime rate is high, and people have to be careful about where
they go at night. There's a lot of traffic most of the time, and finding a parking space can be a
problem. There are also a lot of people living here. Sometimes it feels too crowded.
In a big city like mine, housing is very expensive. It costs a lot even if you're just renting an
efficiency apartment. The good side is that there's a lot of choice about where you want to live
and how you want to live. You can find apartments of all sizes in different settings. Houses of
equal variety are available for sale or rent.
If my friend likes the great outdoors, she might be disappointed. Unfortunately, my city doesn't
have a lot of wide open green spaces, 'and there aren't a lot of trees on the streets. We're not near
the ocean, and the mountains are a day's drive from here. Still, we do have some natural areas. For
example, we have a beautiful big park. It even has a lake in the middle that's used for ice skating
in the winter. There's a different kind of beauty in the city.
Thinking about it, I suppose whether my friend likes my city will depend on whether or not she
likes exciting places. I hope she likes a lot of variety as far as housing and activities are
concerned. If she does, then this is the place for her.
“At the department store”
Shop assistant 2: Good day. Can I help you?
Mrs. Presley : Yes, please. I'm looking for a hat and gloves.
Shop assistant 2: Let's see. We have a good choice of hats and two types of gloves: leather and suede. Which would you prefer, madam?
Mrs. Presley: Can I have a look? Speaking of colours, I would prefer something more muted, for example, dark grey or brown.
Shop assistant 2: I see. This way, please. What do you think of these grey leather gloves and grey hat?
Mrs. Presley: They are perfect. May I try them on?
Shop assistant 2: Yes, of course. Here you are.
Mrs. Presley: The hat is my size but the gloves are small. Do you have a larger size?
Shop assistant 2: Just a second, please, I'll check. Yes, I think we have the right size for you. Would you like to try them on?
Mrs. Presley: Yes, of course. By the way, how much do they cost?
Shop assistant 2: The hat is 19,50 pounds and the gloves are 24,50.
Mrs. Presley: I'll take both, please.
Shop assistant 2: Ok, I'll take them to the cashier desk then.
Mrs. Presley: Thank you.
