Preparing for the task

a) Read the first paragraph, paying particular attention to the underlined words. Which of the sentences below best summarises the paragraph?

1. This paragraph tells us in detail where a word came from.
2. This paragraph tells us precisely why our choice of words is important.
3. This paragraph tells us exactly when a word was first used.

b) Now look at the headings 1–8 and choose the one that best matches the summary.

Match texts A–G with headings 1–8. Each number can only be used once. There is one extra heading.

A Compared to some others, the word “tourist” is fairly new, first recorded in 1772. It is connected to words in Latin and ancient Greek, “tornare” and “tornos” respectively, both referring to a turning movement around a centre. In other words, they suggest travelling in a circle, which can be contrasted with the usual purpose of travel to get from A to B. This meaning perfectly fits the idea of the tourist as someone who travels with the intention of returning home afterwards.

B Tourism may be a leisure industry, but it is far from an unimportant one. Even if it is just something people purchase with their excess income, after rent and food are paid for, it is a major source of income for many countries. For some, indeed, it is the main one. Often in developing countries there is little else in the way of employment and foreign currency earnings.

C There were tourists in ancient times, but they tended to be the wealthy. In medieval times, religious pilgrimages were the main form of tourism, but again most people spent any holidays they had at home. It was really after the Industrial Revolution that considerable numbers of people began to have enough spare money and time to take holidays, mostly within their own countries. This was when, in the UK, the seaside resorts like Brighton, Blackpool and so on became such a huge part of the national culture.

D The next frontier is no doubt space tourism. There is talk of visits to Mars and hotels on the moon, but these are certainly some way off. Within our lifetime, however, it’s likely we’ll travel on planes capable of reaching heights where the effect of gravity disappears. We’ll be able to see the curve of the Earth showing against the darkness of space. Also quite possible in the not too distant future are trips orbiting planet Earth.

E It was when aeroplane travel became affordable that the revolution in overseas travel took place. No longer confined to the elite, the holiday abroad became the annual holiday of choice for millions. Suddenly, the Greek Islands, the Bahamas, the Canaries, and many, many more became familiar names on the lips of everyone. For these places, too, life was transformed, for better or worse.

F Whether a skiing break in the Swiss Alps, a beach stay in Majorca or a sightseeing tour of Saint Petersburg, the annual holiday is something almost everyone looks forward to. This is probably because of the change of scene and the break from routine, even though it would be objectively more restful to stay at home. But despite the stress of airports and packing and injections and everything else, the holiday rejuvenates us far more than sitting at home on the couch.

G A tourist is understood differently by different people. The most basic definition is that of people moving temporarily away from the place where they live or work, but not for purposes of work or any other kind of business activity. It is the “pleasure” part of the classic airport question “Business or pleasure?” It is also a word that is used negatively, by travellers or locals who consider that the tourist is not terribly interested in the people or place they are visiting.

1. Why holidays help
2. How the term is viewed
3. When foreign travel boomed
4. Why people rely on tourism
5. Where the term originated
6. What sort of tourist you are
7. How tourism grew
8. What developments to expect

Imagine that you are preparing a project with your friend. You have found some interesting material for the presentation and you want to read this text to your friend. You have 1.5 minutes to read the text silently, then be ready to read it out loud. You will not have more than 1.5 minutes to read it.

Public transport is traditionally seen as a good thing for people who don’t earn much. Such people often do not have a car, or do not want to use it to travel to work and back every day. Getting a weekly or monthly travel pass costs much less than petrol does.

More recently, climate change has shown us that public transport has other benefits. One hundred people on a bus cause much less pollution than a hundred drivers in a hundred cars. Trains and trams run on electricity, which is even less damaging for the environment.

The final advantage a good public transport system offers is for visitors. Though some tourists hire cars or motorbikes when they visit a country, most prefer to use buses, trains, taxis and so on. They are always grateful when the system works well and is reasonably priced. They tell family and friends when they get home, and quickly the country or city gains a reputation for being visitor-friendly.

Imagine that these are photos from your photo album. Choose one photo to present to your friend. You will have to start speaking in 1.5 minutes and will speak for not more than 2 minutes (12–15 sentences).

In your talk, remember to speak about:

• when you took the photo;
• what/who is in the photo;
• what is happening;
• why you took the photo;
• why you decided to show the picture to your friend.

You have to talk continuously, starting with: “I’ve chosen photo number…”

You have received a letter from your English-speaking pen-friend, Sarah, who writes:

… Next week at our college, local companies are coming to talk to us about employment opportunities. Do you receive any career advice? Have you decided what job you would like to do in the future? I am considering becoming a Maths teacher. What subject would you choose to teach? My grandfather is staying with us at the moment…

Write a letter to Sarah. In your letter:

• answer her questions;
• ask her 3 questions about her grandfather’s visit.

Write 100–140 words. Remember the rules of letter writing.
