TASK 1 READINGIn this part you will read a text of around 600 words. Read the text carefully so as to be able to complete the tasks 2, 3 and 4 following the text.___________________________________________________________________________________

Mr Lock, who lived at the foot of a mountain, was little interested in thinking, less interested in planning, and the least interested of all in working every day. He had a family to support, but he just sat smoking his pipe and waiting for something to turn up.

One day, however, his wife, who didn’t like setting empty dishes before hungry children, attacked her husband with strong words: “Human beings have to eat,” she said. “I am trying hard to bring up our babies with the food you give us, but it’s impossible. They are dying of hunger!” “Don’t worry. I’m going up into the mountains today, and I’ll certainly come back with something to eat.” Then, Mr Lock slowly walked out.

For a long time, Mr Lock wandered over the rocks without seeing anything worth picking up. It was almost noon when he came close to the mountain top and saw a curious sight - a colossal stone figure cut out of the mountain side. It was so huge that ten men could stand on its head without crowding one another. Ages before, men had worked many months to cut this figure into human form, but now it had been forgotten for a long time. A forest nearly hid it. In front, from the ground up, wild grapevines grew over the figure to its neck, and birds flew above its head. “What a prize!” Mr Lock exclaimed happily. High above his head, there was a large ripe pear – nearly as big as a man’s head – hanging on a small tree which grew on the top of the stone man. “That will feed the whole family”, Mr Lock said. “But how do I get it?” Obviously, he had to climb up the stone figure. Determined to get the pear, he seized the wild grapevines and, with great effort, climbed up and up, until he reached the chin of the great stone face. The big nose stood out above him, its nostrils as wide as a house door. Mr Lock stood on the stone lip and took hold of the stone nose, but he could climb no higher because the nose was slippery, and the ears were too smooth. He was stuck there. Far above him hung the pear, a gentle breeze blowing it to and fro, as if teasing him. “Come and get me if you can,” it seemed to be saying. He felt desperate. Suddenly, it occurred to him that he could climb into one of the nostrils and hope for an exit to the top. Without hesitation, he entered the dark hole, and soon disappeared from sight.

That was a brave thing to do, for everybody knows it is dangerous to disturb giants, even if they’re made of stone! Indeed, no sooner had he entered the giant’s nostril than there was a blast that shook the mountain. Hash-ho! Was it a great storm? Was it thunder? No, the colossus had sneezed! Mr Lock must have tickled the colossus’ nostril! And there Mr Lock was, flying through the air! He landed in the bushes, unconscious. When Mr Lock woke up again, it was almost dark. Above him the stone figure stood still, and everything was the same as before. But, no, something had changed! The huge pear was lying in the grass next to him! When the colossus sneezed, it had shaken its head, and the big pear had dropped off. Mr Lock picked it up, wondering whether his family would believe his story. Do you?

Read the following text and look carefully at each line. The text is divided into two parts – A and B.

Correct the mistakes as it has been done for you at the beginning of each part.

Part A - There are 7 grammar mistakes in this part, NOT counting the example.

started The party starts shortly after nine yesterday. Mr. Wood, which lived in the apartment below,

sighed to himself as he heard the first signs – the sound of foots on a stairs and of excited voices

as the guests greeted one another. He knew that in just a few minutes the music would begin and,

after that, the dancing. Fortunately, Mr. Wood had bringed some work home from the office

which will keep him busy for a while, perhaps for a couple of hour or so. He hoped this would

help him ignore a party that was going on upstairs.

Part B - There are 7 spelling mistakes in this part, NOT counting the example.

By Buy eleven o’clock Mr. Wood felt very tired. He was ready for bad but he knew from past

experience that he was not going to be able to get to sleap. Puting on his pyjamas, he propped

himself up and started reading a book. He tryed to concentrate on his book, but the noise from

the room directly above his head was to much. He found himself reading the same page over and

over again. Giving up, he turned of the light, and burried his head in the pillows in a desperate

effort to shut out the noise.
