TASK 1
Read the questions and answers in the text about Deborah Frankel Reese, an American painter. Match questions 1-5 with answers A-G. There are two answers that do not match the questions. Write the appropriate LETTER in the column in the questions box. 0 is an example. (5 x 2 = 10 marks) The text is an introduction and it is not part of the exercise. Deborah Frankel Reeses paintings are done in oils, but she uses other materials like graphite, ink or tissue paper for textural and linear emphasis. She lives now in Vermont. Moving to the Upper Valley from the New York metropolitan area 12 years ago gave me a focus to my work, and helped me to create work that is mine and not a response to the latest fashions in Soho.

Id like to fly over and spend a week practising my French and eating croissants. Whenever children come home for Halloween I always give them sweets and drinks. We have already had it. Friends and family came over for the weekend. My husband and I would go for dinner to a fancy Italian restaurant about two hours drive from home and we would stay overnight at a hotel nearby. Last December watching our big, hairy, white dogs ice-skating on the frozen pool. I usually paint to capture my emotions. When I am excited I use brighter colours. I love chocolate and candy, but I have to watch it because of my prescriptions. Occasionally, I will have a big piece of chocolate cake. I have a young part-time student that comes twice a week and my husband takes care of the garden, the dogs and other pets that we own.

TASK 2
Read the information about Joyces Ireland Hiking Tours. Decide if the statements below are True or False and put a tick () in the correct column in the box at the end of the exercise. The first statement (0) is an example. (8 x 1 = 8 marks) Ireland has a lot to offer the walker: dramatic sea cliffs, high mountain ridges, quiet green roads and then there are the sleeping villages, oak woods, sky-blue lakes and torrential waterfalls. We organize unique small-group guided hiking tours of Ireland for walkers of all abilities and ages. We spend from one to three nights in each area and walk the best parts before moving on to our next stop. We travel between locations on a comfortable LDV mini-coach and are therefore flexible in our choice of routes. We stay in small hotels, guest houses, B&Bs and occasionally castles. All rooms are en suite twin, double or single. Singles are available for a small supplement. We take packed lunches to eat during our walks, but our evening meals are taken either in the places we are staying or in local restaurants. If you have travelled with Joyces Tours before, you get a 5% deduction. This will be subtracted from your final payment. We offer price reductions for any bookings of four or more people.

Terms and conditions 1. Joyces Ireland tours run with a minimum of four clients: if Joyces Ireland has to cancel any trip, four weeks notice will be given and all money refunded to the client. 2. If you are prevented from proceeding, you may transfer your booking to any other appropriate person free of charge, provided that you give reasonable notice before the departure date and that there are no other changes to the booking details. 3. A booking is accepted with payment of a deposit of US$600 / EU450 / UK400 per person. On receipt of this you will receive a letter of confirmation. 4. The final balance is payable eight weeks before departure. If it is not paid by this date, we reserve the right to cancel the booking.

Run the dishwasher only when its full and dont prerinse dishes. But the real waste is in the bathroom take showers, and take shorter ones. Look for lowflow shower heads. They have great pressure and conserve gallons of water.
