Test 1

Some people work for the same organization all their working life. Others think

that it is better to work for different organizations.

Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

For most people, when they get their first job they have little idea whether or not they

will remain in the same organization throughout their working life. If they decide to

change, they need to consider how this will impact on their career overall. People who

stay

with

the

same

organization

will

have

the

advantage

of

a

thoroughly

understanding how it works and also becoming familiar with the staff and processes.

If they work hard, their promotion prospects are good and there is likely to be greater

job

security

with

a

promise

of

a

good

pension

when

they

retire.

Employers

value

loyalty

and

may

offer

additional

incentives

to

long-term

employees,

including

bonuses and reward schemes.

However,

one

of

the

drawbacks

of

staying

with

the

same

organizations

is

that

the

person may get stuck doing the same job year after year. In some cases, this can lead

to boredom and disillusionment. Moving from one organization to another can be a

strategic decision in order to have variety and acquire a range of skills and experience.

9. A friend of my father started out as a sociology teacher, he then joined the Social

Services and is currently managing a care home in

Western

Australia.

This

has

made

him

incredibly

knowledgeable

in

a

range

of

related

fields

and,

in

my

view,

has

provided

him

with

a

much

more

interesting

working life.

There are benefits to working for one organization; I feel that it is also valuable for an

employee to be able to offer a wide range of experience having worked for different

companies.

As

long

as

it

is

planned

carefully,

I

feel

that

change

is

good

and

will

ultimately benefit the employee and the employer.

Test 2

One

of

the

consequences

of

improved

medical

care

is

that

people

are

living

longer and life expectancy is increasing.

Do you think the advantages of this development outweigh the disadvantages?

Over the past 50 years, people have become used to the idea that they will probably

live longer than their grandparents did. However, a longer life is only desirable if you

can look after yourself and be independent, otherwise there can be disadvantages for

everyone.

If you walk into a hospital in my country, you are likely to see a lot more elderly

people than you did in the past. In fact, this is causing significant problems as there is

a shortage of beds. Medical treatment is keeping the elderly alive, but at what cost to

others?

On top of this, one of the biggest medical problems these days is dementia. Even if

old people are still fit, they may not be able to look after themselves. They may have

to live with their children or be cared for in a home, which can be expensive. Elderly

people do not like to be a burden, but their children can feel obliged to care for them.

Obviously, not all old people become ill. Those who remain healthy can enjoy a

happy old age as long as they have saved enough money. People are much more

active in their sixties and seventies than they used to be and this can only be a good

thing. They have time to enjoy their retirement and do a range of activities that then

could not do when they were at work. They can also help look after their

grandchildren, which is a great benefit for working parents.

To sum up, I believe that we should aim to keep people as healthy as possible so that

they can enjoy their old age without having to rely on others. A longer life expectancy

is obviously advantageous, but no one wants to live to be 100 if they only cause

problems for their family and society.

Test 3

Car

ownership

has

increased

so

rapidly

over

the

past

thirty

years

that

many

cities in the

world are now ‘one big traffic jam’.

How true do you think this statement is?

What

measures

can

governments

take

to

discourage

people

from

using

their

cars?

Most

people

would

agree

that

car

ownership

has

increased

in

recent

years

and

is

causing a range of problems, particularly in build-up areas. I think there are a number

of ways that governments can aim to deal with this.

Many

big

cities

in

the

world

have

traffic

problems

but

these

problems

vary.

For

example, it is reasonably easy to drive around my city after 10 am and before 5 pm.

However, outside these hours, you have to allow double the usual time to reach your

destination.

In

some

other

cities,

traffic

is

congested

at

all

times,

and

there

is

the

continual sound of car horns as people try to get wherever they want to go.

One of the best approaches governments can take in busy cities is to encourage the

use

of

public

transport.

This

means

the

transport

facilities

have

to

be

well

run

and

people must be able to afford them. Buses, trams and trains are good ways of getting

around, and if they are cheap and reliable, people will use them.

Another approach is to discourage people from actually entering the city by building

car parks and shopping centers on the outskirts. Many cities around the world do this

quite successfully and offer passengers bus transport into the centre, if they need it.

At peak travel periods, governments can also run campaigns to encourage people to

be

less

dependent

on

their

cars.

Apparently,

a

lot

of

car

trips

involve

very

short

journeys to, say, the supermarket or local school. These are often unnecessary, but we

automatically get in our cars without thinking.

Clearly we all have a responsibility to look after our cities. Governments can do a lot

to

improve

the

situation

and

part

of

what

they

do

should

involve

encouraging

individuals to consider alternatives to driving.
