Hike and enjoy the local sights!

You are considering going on a hiking tour and now you'd like to get more information. In 1.5 minutes you are to ask four direct questions to find out about the following:

1) the duration of the tour;

2) the cost of the tour;

3) number of people in the group;

4) the presence of a guide.

You have 20 seconds to ask each question.

You are going to give an interview. You have to answer five questions. Give full answers to the questions (2-3 sentences).

Remember that you have 40 seconds to answer each question.

Imagine that you and your friend are doing a school project “Free time activities”. You have found some photos to illustrate it but for technical reasons you cannot send them now. Leave a voice message to your friend explaining your choice of the photos and sharing some ideas about the project. In 2.5 minutes be ready to:

• explain the choice of the illustrations for the project by briefly describing them and noting the differences;

• mention the disadvantages (1–2) of the two types of hobbies;

• express your opinion on the subject of the project – which hobby you would prefer and why.

You will speak for not more than 3 minutes (12–15 sentences). You have to talk continuously.

Imagine that you are doing a project on what volunteer work people do in Zetland. You have found some data on the subject – the results оf a relevant survey (see the pie chart below).

Comment on the data in the pie chart and give your opinion on the subject of the project.

The survey question: What volunteer work do you do?

Write 200–250 words.
Use the following plan:

– make an opening statement on the subject of the project;

– select and report 2–3 facts;

– make 1–2 comparisons where relevant and give your comments;

– outline a problem that one can face with volunteer work and suggest a way of solving it;

– conclude by giving and explaining your opinion on the role of volunteering in our life.

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 aloud. You will not have more than 1.5 minutes to read it.

Culture shock is a feeling of disorientation that occurs when someone moves to an unfamiliar cultural environment. This common experience affects millions of travelers, students, and immigrants worldwide each year.

The process typically involves several stages. Initially, people experience excitement about the new culture. This "honeymoon phase" is followed by frustration and anxiety as differences become apparent. Simple tasks like shopping or using public transport can suddenly feel overwhelming.

Physical symptoms often include headaches, insomnia, and loss of appetite. Psychological effects may involve homesickness, irritability, and even depression. Many people withdraw socially during this adjustment period.

Fortunately, culture shock is temporary. Most individuals gradually adapt by learning local customs and building new relationships. Keeping an open mind, maintaining a sense of humor, and connecting with both locals and people from your home country can help overcome these challenges.

Understanding culture shock helps prepare travelers for these natural feelings, making cross-cultural experiences more rewarding in the long term.

Task 2. Study the advertisement.

An end to second-hand coffee

To the naked eye, this farm is just like any other. But it doesn’t take long to realise that the farm of Jesus Martin, though not huge, is anything but ordinary.

Martin grew up like many others in the Santa Ana Valley –– known as the Coffee Triangle of Colombia—on a coffee farm owned by his father and grandfather. “I am the youngest of six children and we all worked the farm,” Martin said. “My parents focused their energies on teaching us the agricultural trade, but also the love behind it.”  Despite this great dedication to coffee and respect for his family business, he ended up pursuing a different career altogether: law and business management. It didn’t come easy to him as coffee was never far away.

During every visit to his family’s humble farm, the rich aromas of beans roasting and the smell of his mother’s carrot cake caused his heart to beat faster. Coffee was his life, and in 2004, after years practicing law, he found a way to combine his legal knowledge, business education and family’s lifeline into what he called “the coffee dream project”.

Despite growing some of the most coveted beans in the world, most Colombians have never even tasted the Colombian coffee that is renowned around the world. Instead, local people drink what they call “second-hand coffee”, which is made from berries that haven't fully ripened, have been over-roasted or even infected with insects and diseases. Like most businesses in struggling economies, the farmers only make profits on exports—so they save their best stuff for higher paying countries. “Farming coffee for a profit is very challenging,” Martin explained, tossing a few berries in his hand. “The coffee trade intermediaries, exporters, roasters and big multinational companies are the ones that benefit the most in the coffee-trade chain.”  Martin’s dream project, however, was to turn this process around, bringing specialty coffee back to Colombia.

The project, however, was a total surprise for his family. “When I first informed them, they told me I was crazy, they said it was a wild goose chase.”

Even with his background in farming, starting the project from the ground up was difficult. Convincing his workers to focus on quality was his biggest concern; most only cared about quantity since their wage was dependent on how many beans they picked. Martin recalled many hours, days and weeks training local farmers to understand the process, from the colours of the raw berries to the smell and taste of the beans once they’d been dried and sorted.

Once the farmers understood the importance of quality, it was onto phase two: bring the roasting process in-house, instead of paying for the beans to be roasted elsewhere. Buying his own roaster—one of the only five in the entire country—was expensive, but the purchase offered a huge saving in roasting, packaging and exporting costs.

By 2008, his passion started to pay off; he opened his flagship store Café Jesus Martin in Salento. The shop and its team of trained baristas, Martin said, have done much to teach the locals about enjoying specialty coffee. The look on their face when they take their first sip is what keeps him motivated. “They are reacting so positively; they’re discovering something entirely different than what they’re used to consuming,” Martin said. “When they discover the difference in quality of their coffee, they start to care more about where and whom it’s coming from.”

16. How did Martin’s family react to the idea of his project?

1) They fully supported it.

2) They didn’t believe in its success.

3) They thought it would take too much time and effort.

4) They thought he didn’t have proper background for it.

17. The most difficult thing for Martin in the beginning was to make his workers …

1) care about the product standards.

2) pick bigger quantities of beans.

3) undergo special training.

4) agree to lower wages.

18. We may conclude from the last paragraph that Martin’s store …

1) is what Martin’s project was all about.

2) serves coffee that is very different from what the Columbians were used too.

3) is only the first in the line of many more.

4) is the thing he cares about most now.
