You don’t have to understand every single word to find out what the text is basically about. In Set 1, you will be required to select the correct title for each of the article's five paragraphs. You will need to read teach paragraph (1-5) for gist so as to understand its general topic. When you scan a text, you don’t read every single word carefully This is because you are looking for specific information, so not all the details of the text are important. Instead, you move down through the lines of text quickly, trying to find the information you need. When scanning, it usually helps to look for key words or ideas. Preparation for the Reading Test - Task | Careful reading: Theme: In the article we Sometimes, when you find the information you need by scanning, you may have to read this information slowly and carefully ‘to make sure you get the right answer. You may not have time in the exam to read the entire article very slowly, but you will be able to read the relevant short sections carefully to help choose the right answers, In Reading Task 1, there are a number of different broad themes the text can be about. These includ Society and living standards Personal values and ideals The world of work Natural environmental concerns Public figures past and present Education National customs Village and city life National and local produce and products Early memories Pollution and recycling will be looking at, the theme is National customs. When you practise, read ‘as many different texts as you can related to all the above themes. ‘TRINITY ISE tt Preparation for the Reading Test - Task 1 ction Pre-reading Write down as many ideas as you can think of for your answers to these questions. Then, if possible, discuss your notes with a partner, 4, What big national celebrations are there in your country? 2. What celebrations from other countries or cultures do you know about? 3. What's your favourite celebration and why? 4, What do people do during this celebration? 5. What are the benefits of having things to celebrate? Exercise | This is NOT an exam task, but it will help you practise reading for gist. Think about how texts are structured and how the different Ideasitopics are usually inked together ina logical order. When you have finished this task, you should find the actual exam task Which follows easier. Why? Because Exercise | will help you get a general understanding of what each paragraph is about. Read the following text about Hogmanay, a Scottish New Year's celebration. The paragraphs are not in the correct order. Put the paragraphs in order from I-5. Write the correct paragraph number on the answer line. Reading for gist Happy New Year! Paragraph Perhaps the biggest and most famous ofthese isthe Edinburgh Hogmanay celebration, now a three-day event. In 1996-97, 400,000 people attended, making It the biggest single New Year's celebration in the world that year. In recent years, the attendance figures forthe celebration have dropped somewhat, but only because a limit has been imposed on how many people can go for safety reasons. The street partis stil one ofthe largest New Year's events across the globe and Features wellknown bands performing infront ofthe beautiful Edinburgh Castle's quite the celebration and has been voted one ofthe top 2 travel experiences on the planet by the Discovery Channel ~ the only festival to feature on the lst. Paragraph Apart from singing this popular Robert Burns lyric, other traditional customs of Hogmanay include redding and first-ooting. ‘The former involves cleaning the home before the New Year, It is particularly important to make sure that fires are cleared of ashes and the leaves of the Juniper tree are also sometimes burned in a custom that is traditionally thought to keep away evil spirits, The latter refers to the tradition of the first visitor into the home after midnight on New Year's taking a gift for the homeowners with them. This visitor or first-footer is thought to bring luck to the household, The traditional gift was coal (or alternatively salt) but, nowadays, drinks and food are more typical, as the arrival of the first-footer often signals the start of a great party.TRINITY ISE Ht Preparation for the Reading Test- Task |_ TRINITY ISE It Preparation for the Reading Test - Task | Paragraph Pre-reading That Hogmanay traditionally enjoyed wider popularity in Scotland than Christmas is due, in part, to the fact that for about 400 years of its history Scotland didn’t celebrate Christmas very much at all. Nowadays, however, many parts of the tradi- tional Hogmanay ceremony have found their way into Christmas and New Year's celebrations around the world. For exam ple, the song Auld Lang Syne is now not only sung at midnight on New Year's Eve by celebrants of Hogmanay but also by other peolpe who celebrate New Year's Eve throughout the world, Indeed, according to the Guinness Book of Records, ‘Auld Lang Syne is one of the most frequently sung of all English-language songs. Paragraph Although both these customs are stil practised today, the Handsel Day tradition, which was also linked to Hogmanay, has largely died out. On this day, the first Monday of the new year, presents used to be given by employers to the members of ‘their staff, and by parents to their children. These gift-giving gestures now take place at Christmas instead. But while some ‘of the customs may have disappeared, the festival's popularity certainly has not. Each year, all major Scottish cities ane! towns hold huge events to mark the occasion, Paragraph Hogmanay is the Scots English term for New Year’ Eve: the lat day of the year. Although it has become similar in meaning ‘around the world with ringing in the New Year in the ‘Scottish style, the focus of the traditional Hogmanay celebration was not really on the clock striking 12 (midnight) at all. Hogmanay, you see, typically lasts until New Year's Day morning, and, indeed, in some places, well into January 2nd. It is thought that New Year's festival started as a celebration of the winter solstice (the shortest day of the year). Hogmanay was historically, and remains in many parts of Scotland, a bigger event than Christmas, Did you get the question right? Check below. The answers are given upside down.

Well, it’s simple really. Save the Children runs its official Christmas Jumper Day on a Friday early in December each year. People of all ages are encouraged to wear a Christmas jumper for the day, to school, college, work, cor wherever they're going, and donate £2 (or £1 if you're a child) by text message to the charity (for details on alternative ‘ways to donate see last paragraph]. And this year the government has promised to match every donation given, meaning for every £1 donated, it will give another £1 to Save the Children. OF course, it’s not a problem If, for any reason, you can’t take part on the official day. You can still wear your jumper another time and make a donation. Nor are you limited to giv ing just £2.

This may be hard to believe but, even in a country as rich as the United Kingdom, some 3.5 millon children stil ive in poverty. The charity works to give these young people hope for a better future. Worldwide, 6.6 million children die each year before they reach their fifth birthday. The sad fact is that most of these deaths are caused by preventable or treatable diseases, like diarrhoea and malaria. Save the Children wants to stop this. needless tragedy from continuing to happen. With our donations, itis making a real difference to children’s lives, locally and globally. 3.

It was founded by two sisters, Eglantyne Jebb and Dorothy Buxton, In May 1919, specifically to help children across Europe who were victims of the First World War. The sisters did not origi- nally Intend to keep the charity going after the war ended, but there was one emergency after another and Save the Children always got Involved to help. In the 1930s, it began helping the helpless beyond Europe, running and funding chil- dren's projects in Asta, Africa and the rest of the world. Its efforts to assist children all around the world have continued right up to this day. 4.

Text A [Although one of the main goals of recycling is to reuse as many existing materials as possible in order to limit the quantity of new raw materials itis necessary to introduce, harvesting trees is an unavoidable part of the paper-making process ~ no matter how much paper is recycled. This is because every tlme paper is reused, its fibres weaken. New paper, or virgin wood pulp, has to be added to the process, and that means using new wood. However, the wood used by the paper industry in Europe comes from sustainable supplies Which are able to continue over a long period of time. Some of it, for example, comes from young trees that would have to be cut down anyway to let the forest mature; this process is called thinning the forest. ‘Another source of wood pulp is sawmill waste; essentially the dust and small pieces of wood that are left after timber has been processed for other purposes, like furniture making. A lot of wood pulp also comes from fast-growing forests of species like spruce and eucalyptus. As from last March, all paper products sold in the EU (which Britain Is part of) have to come from legally harvested, and that means sustainable, timber resources, Text B 7 Paper is biodegradable, which means it breaks down naturally over time, When it biodegrades, however ft creates methane, a powerful greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming. Similarly, when paper Is burned in an incinerator, it produces another greenhouse gas ~ carbon dioxide. By recycling paper, therefore, |we keep these gases out of the atmosphere for longer. Based on the results of a recent study by the Waste land Resources Action Programme (WRAP), as many as 10.8 million tonnes of carbon can be prevented from going into the atmosphere in this way each year, Not to mention the fact that recycling also means cutting Gown fewer trees to add to the paper-making process. This, in turn, keeps more greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere. .

I've caught a few burglars in my time as a cop. Very few arrests were more satisfying for a uniformed officer than that rare capture of a burglar in the act. Most of the ones | caught had run away from the scene and were found hiding under cars, in gardens, and on one unforgettable occasion we arrested a man who became known as ‘the man from Atlantis, because he hid from us for over an hour in a fishpond, It was January and he nearly froze to death. By day, they walk around the streets targeting houses that are not protected. These inexperienced thieves will attack a prop- erty in an instant. They climb through an open window or force the door, steal anything they can and then run away with their finds.

Read the following text and answer the 15 questions on the next page. Art Therapy Paragraph 1 Art therapy is a way of expressing specific emotional or physical issues through art, Itis not about creat- ing a fantastic piece of art. You don’t even need to be able to draw or paint. It aims to help you express yourself in a safe environment. It may be very helpful for people who feel uncomfortable with touch or talk therapies. Art therapists believe that being creative helps the healing process. They believe that we have emotions and abilities beyond our everyday awareness and that these can be accessed through dif- ferent forms of art therapy. Paragraph 2 Although contemporary art therapy is a relatively new practice, art has been used since the beginning of human history. However, it wasn’t until the 1940s that the therapeutic use of art developed into a dis: tinct discipline. In England, the first person to refer to this specific use of art was Adrian Hill. While being treated for tuberculosis, this artist suggested participating in art projects to his fellow patients. Hill went on to develop art therapy programmes In hospitals and institutions until he retired in 1981. Paragraph 3 You don’t need experience in art to take part in or benefit from art therapy. It can take many forms including drawing, painting, sculpture work, dance, drama, poetry and photography. Art therapy sessions can last anywhere between half an hour or a whole morning or afternoon. Many people have regular therapy sessions for weeks or months. Some will be held as group sessions and some will be one to one sessions. The therapist encourages participants to use art to explore their feelings, develop their confi- dence and be more self-aware. Paragraph 4 Your therapist is responsible for creating a safe and interesting setting for you to work in. This can mean that over time you're able to express powerful emotions. Therapy may bring up some very strong and at times uncomfortable feelings. But if this is done in a safe environment with the support of a profession- ally trained art therapist, it is usually a very positive process. Like all doctor/patient relationships, patient confidentiality is taken very seriously. There has to be absolute trust and a very strong bond can develop during the therapy sessions. A therapist has to possess excellent communication skills, be sensitive to the problems of others, be emotionally stable and have a deep understanding of art, Paragraph 5 More and more, art therapy is being offered to people with physical illnesses, particularly to cancer patients, Studies have shown that it has shown benefits in helping people to express the physical and emotional effect on people with cancer who had many different symptoms, including pain and anxiety. Researchers have found that although many symptoms, such as tiredness and stress, were improved, the therapy did not seem to relieve physical sickness. However, it gave cancer victims a way to express their feelings about their illness. A recent study looked at using art therapy for children having painful proce dures for leukaemia. They found that children who had art therapy were less distressed and more able t0 cooperate during the procedures.
