Living in the Fast Lane
When Milka Duno told her parents that she wanted to be a race car driver Instead of a naval engineer, they weren’t very pleased with her new career choice. “What? Are you crazy? Why do you want to drive a race car? they said. She had to explain that this Is what she wanted to do and she was determined to be one of the best drivers in the world.
It was Milka’s competitive spirit that made her change gears and become a race car driver. While she was working as a naval engineer, she was Invited by a friend to participate in a Porshe Driving Clinic in her native Venezuela. The rest is history. “I got hooked Immediately,’ she said. In a lesser way, her passion for speed motivated her to leave her career as a naval engineer, abandon four graduate degrees and move from Caracas to Miami. Since then, she has won several championships. She Is the only Latina who races professionally and the first woman in history to win an International sports car race in North America. In 2004, Milka and co-driver Andy Wallace won first place in the Miami Grand Prlx.
In perhaps the world’s most masculine profession, it would seem strange If Milka had not encountered problems. In the beginning she had to work very hard to earn the respect of the men and make them see her as an equal. “I don’t get any special treatment because I am a woman. Once I put on my helmet. I’m Just another driver. And I don’t give anyone a break either”.
If anything, her presence has attracted a whole new audience and she Is seen as a role model for women. Milka is approached by a number of fathers and daughters after big races. The fathers come up to her all the time and say, “Milka, my daughter Is going to grow up and be a race car driver Just like your» While Milka thinks that Is great, she also reminds them how Important an education Is to people of all ages. In addition, she points out that being an athlete is temporary, but academic preparation lasts a lifetime.
When Milka Is not racing she has a tough fitness routine — she spends several hours a day training and driving at high speeds. The most Important thing for her right now Is her career. She does not have time for a personal life. “I’m a driver,» Milka says, ‘and one day, I want to have a family and children. But right now I am focused on racing.’
Despite her achievements and growing fame, Milka Duno Is a pleasant, soft-spoken and humble woman. She has a genuine love of racing and a competitive drive to win. Just do not get in her way on the track!

Текст аудирования:
Narrator: Some people are just meant to be together. From the very first moment there is a connection and a bond that no one else can equal or understand. A computer link finally brought two love-lost people together. Let’s listen to Meredith’s story.
Meredith: I was born in Yiangmen, China. My birth mother was unable to take care of me and gave me up for adoption. I was adopted by a loving childless family from America. I was taken to my new home in Chicago, Illinois before I was a year old. I grew up among people who loved me. I had everything a child could dream of but there was something I really longed for. A sister. I remember I often told my parents that all I wanted was a sister.
Narrator: Here comes the best part of the story. This might sound unbelievable, but it is true. Six years ago Meredith’s father, Jim Rittenhouse, was reading an online post in a Yahoo group from a family that had adopted a daughter around the same time that he and his wife had adopted their daughter called Meredith. Jim was really surprised because they called their daughter Meredith also. Along with the post there was a picture of young Meredith. When Mr Rittenhouse looked at the picture, he knew instantly he was looking at his own daughter’s twin sister.
Meredith: After a short amount of time and a very simple blood test, the two families learnt that their daughters, Meredith and me, were in fact twins. The orphanage in China had not known we were twins because the babies had been brought to them on two separate occasions. But none of that matters now. It is really great that I have a sister, a twin sister actually, who lives next door. And our parents are great people. I guess we are an unusual family, but I feel lucky to have them as parents.
Narrator: Life can hold surprises for everyone. As for the two sisters, the girls, like two peas-in-a-pod, are together again, this time, forever.

Your teacher has asked you to write an essay discussing the pros and cons of studying abroad. Write your essay in 200-250 words.
Текст аудирования:
Andy: What do you think about studying abroad, Jane? I know it’s expensive but my parents have asked me to think about it and let them know.
Jane: Well, these days, many people choose to study abroad. One good thing about it is that living in a foreign country means you will get to know a different culture. This will broaden your worldview and make you more tolerant and understanding of other cultures.
Andy: I suppose you’re right. It will definitely improve my language skills. That’s a good skill and may help me get a good job when I graduate.
Jane: Yes, but don’t forget that you’ll be far away from home. You may get really homesick and your studies may suffer.
Andy: That’s a good point. Also, adjusting to a foreign culture may be much more difficult that I expect and I might not be able to concentrate on my studies.
Jane: Yep. I think it’s a difficult decision that you need to think carefully about before you decide to do it. Only you know how well you will adjust to living in another country
Andy: You’re right. Thanks. You’ve been very helpful.
Jane: No problem. Good luck with whatever you decide.

At 5:30 every morning, before he got on the school bus, 15-year old Trevon Jenifer took his dog out for a walk.

The family were poor, but they 2) encouraged him to adopt the attitude that he could do anything he put his mind to. Even though he was given a pair of prosthetic legs, he preferred to do without them and use his arms and hands as his legs and feet instead.
He was a 3) cheerful boy and he was popular at school, always willing to help out and do whatever he could. His teachers were 4) constantly amazed at his abilities.
Trevon is now a member of the wheelchair basketball team and has also published a book about his life. What annoys him is when reporters ask him if his life would have been different with legs. His 5) response to this is that he thinks the question is as pointless as asking, ‘What if the sun rose in the west?» His attitude is that he is the way he is and he is happy that this attitude inspires others to do better things in their lives.

Writing

Studying abroad is a popular choice for many students, and it has both advantages and disadvantages.

On the one hand, studying in another country gives students a chance to experience a new culture. They can learn to be more open-minded and tolerant. Another advantage is that they can improve their language skills, which may help them find a good job in the future. In addition, studying abroad can make students more independent and confident.

On the other hand, there are some serious drawbacks. First of all, studying abroad is expensive, so not every family can afford it. Also, students may feel homesick because they are far away from their family and friends. Another problem is that it can be difficult to adapt to a new culture and education system, and this may affect their studies.

In conclusion, studying abroad has many benefits, but it also has some difficulties. I think students should carefully think about their personal situation before making this decision.
