Good neighbours become good friends A popular Australian TV show once said, ‘Good neighbours become good friends’. It sounds great, but how true is it? It wasn’t always the case in the show, with neighbours regularly falling out with each other. It might be easier to make friends with neighbours rather than going out to meet new people, but it isn’t everyone’s choice. It’s great being able to get together every day without having to make Life Vision Intermediate Unit Test 2 A 2 IMAGES NOT TO BE USED SEPARATELY.

After living in my street for five years, I still hardly knew my neighbours, even those in the house next door. A quick ‘hello’ in the morning, that’s all, until one day I lost my house keys. It was a cold day, and I was amazed to see that people on my street came to save me. One invited me in to get warm, another recommended somewhere to buy new keys. Since then, I’ve got to know all my neighbours better. I’ve learned that we all went to university and have had good jobs, and I didn’t expect the man old enough to be my grandfather to have such a good sense of humour! A family from another country is moving here soon, and I’ll be the first person to welcome them to the street. It’s not always perfect. I love being outside, but that’s not much fun when neighbours are playing music while they tidy their gardens. I don’t say anything though, because they don’t ask me to move my car when I leave it right in front of their house. I’m moving away next year. Not because of the neighbours, but to be closer to my family, and I’ll be more upset to leave than I expected. We haven’t known each other long enough to write or phone once I leave, but I won’t wait five years to introduce myself in my new street. In fact, I’m already planning a party to get to know everyone as soon as I move in! 1 The writer says the Australian TV show.

How can social media impact our lives? In this talk, I’m going to discuss the impact that social media has on our lives. First of 1 , let’s talk about fake news. News travels fast on social media, and it isn’t always true. We have to learn how to decide if news is true or fake. Turning 2 my next point, I think social media has an impact on language. 3 , people are losing the ability to write correctly because they only write short messages. Secondly, a lot of very short words are entering the language, 4 example LOL (laugh out loud) or TBH (to be honest). 5 , let’s talk about time. Today, we spend more time on social media than on anything else. This means we have less time for other activities such as reading or doing exercise. In 6 , I think social media has an enormous impact on our lives, and this isn’t always good. /6 J Writing: Linking ideas Six parts of sentences are missing from this text.

Changing places Moving to a new city can be a big challenge but it can bring a lot of exciting new opportunities, too. Here’s the experience of one student. Last year my family moved from a small village in Wales to Manchester in the north of England. I was a bit nervous about making the move, but I’ve got to say that I’m really enjoying life here. There have been a lot of big changes, 1 – last year I went everywhere on foot! One of the biggest differences about living here is that my school is much bigger than the one I went to. Since 2. The school I’m at now has more than one thousand pupils in it. It can be pretty noisy when the bell rings for classes to start. Studying here is much better than being at a village school 3. I can study French and Spanish, as well as all the different science subjects. I’m really happy about that because I’d like to do chemistry at university. And travel abroad, too. With so many more students at the school, I’ve met a lot of people. I have some really good friends who I spend a lot of time with, 4. I try to message them most days, and we chat when I’m gaming online. They tell me about what’s happening back in Wales. Living in a city isn’t always easy, though. There are definitely some negative things, 5. I sometimes miss the peace and quiet of my old home. Where we used to live, we could just walk out onto the hills from our back door. That was quite a special thing to be able to do. Having said that, there are lots of things that I can do here that I just couldn’t do in my village – go to big Life Vision Intermediate Unit Test 2 A 4 IMAGES NOT TO BE USED SEPARATELY.

I’ve got more chance to meet people and live a more interesting life. Although 6 , and one day I might move back, right now I want to be in a big city where everything is just much more exciting. A but I keep in touch with old friends, too B because there are more choices of subjects to take C for example, everywhere around here is so busy D only 300 people lived in the village, everything was smaller E however, we haven’t lived here very long F also we do the same things after school G for instance, I use public transport at least twice a day now H so that’s why I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else I where I lived was good when I was younger /6 Life Vision Intermediate Unit Test 2 A 5 IMAGES NOT TO BE USED SEPARATELY.
