Conversation of this kind, then, hardly has (07) ______________ (MEAN) communication. Male talk is often (08) _____________ (ARGUE) while women are more tentative, asking more questions and tending to build up their replies on what the other person had said. The research would indicate that women are better (09) ______________ (LISTEN) than men.

Question 7: Read the following paragraph about the education in Britain. Write true (T) or false (F) for each of the sentences below, according to the information given. If the information is not in the paragraph write no information (NI). (10 points)
 In Britain most schools are financed by the state and, for the children attending these schools, they are free. However; about 5 per cent of the school population attend private schools, and these are financed from pupils' fees. The general pattern of schooling in Britain is as follows.
 All the children must start school at the age of five. Many have previously attended play schools or nursery schools, but these are not compulsory. Primary education, whether state or private, seeks to develop all aspects of the child: physical and emotional, as well as intellectual and cultural.
 Roughly at the age of 11 (but often somewhat. later, especially in the case of private education), children move to different schools. These are called secondary schools, and nowadays most of them are comprehensive, that is to say, children of all abilities go to the same
school. Within some comprehensive schools children are put into different classes according to their intellectual ability; in others, children of different abilities are all kept together in the same class.
 In the first four or five years at a secondary school, the pupils have a set timetable of subjects, such as History, English and a foreign language, as well as science subjects and sports. At the end of this period most pupils take one or two public examinations, though these do not normally include all the subjects that the students have studied. In fact, a pupil may take the exam in as many, or as few, subjects as is thought suitable.
 After these exams, i.e. at the age of 16 or so, most pupils at state schools leave. Only about 30 per cent continue at school, compared with about 90 per cent in the small private sector. For those
that stay on, in either type of school, the next two or three years are spent concentrating on a small number of subjects, and at the end of these years of concentrated preparation, the pupils usually take a public school-leaving examination in their three specialist subjects. Their results in these exams will largely determine whether they now start to work, or whether they can continue with higher education at a university or college.
Answers (T, F or NI)
____ 01. School education in Britain is free of charge.
____ 02. School education is compulsory in Britain.
____ 03. School education in Britain is mainly free of charge.
____ 04. Most children in Britain attend private schools.
____ 05. Most children in Britain attend state schools.
____ 06. Comprehensive secondary schools are for pupils of different abilities.
____ 07. Pupils of the same abilities must attend comprehensive secondary schools.
____ 08. After four or five years at secondary schools, all pupils take one or two public examinations.
____ 09. In Britain state schools are better than those of the private sector.
____ 10. At the age of 16 or so, about 70 per cent pupils at state schools leave.

You’ve got 2 minutes to read all the sentences in Question 1 and Question 2 before listening.
Question 1. Listen to people talking about different cities. What can you do in each place? Tick the lists below. You will hear the talk twice.
1. It’s not really the best place to shop. Prices are too high there nowadays. But the food’s great and quite cheap. It’s a wonderful place just to walk around in and look at the old buildings. But there aren’t any interesting museums or art galeries, I am afraid.
2. It’s a very nice place to visit if you like being outdoors. The scenery is beautiful. Take a bus trip around the island, and sail around it if you have time. You can also go skiing. Unfortunately, the water is too cold there for swimming. You probably won’t like the local food. It’s
very spicy.
3. There are very good beaches there. Everything‘s quite cheap, so take plenty of money with you. There’s not much else to do. There’s only one hotel and no interesting old buildings.
4. There are several excellent museums and art galleries. If you like Chinese food you should visit China town. It’s fairly quiet at night though. It dosen’t have any good nightclubs or theatres.

You’ve got 2 minutes to check your answers before we come to Question 2.
Question 2. Listen to people getting ready for their holidays. Tick the things they are going to take with them. You will hear the talk twice.
a. I am not going to take many things with me this time, so I won’t need the big suitcase. Let’s see. I think we can buy presents for our friends when we get there. They’ll have music on the plane, so I won’t need my personal stereo, but I’d better take something to read. It’ll be fairly cool at this time of the year, so I don’t surpose we’ll be doing any swimming. I’d better pack the umbrella in case it rains. I’ll need a thick coat, too, if it’s going to be cold. That’s about everything.
b. I’ll put all our things into the big suitcase. Now, where are all the presents we bought? I’ll put them in the top. I think I’ll get a new camera as soon as I arrive. I won’t take my old one. You might want to listen to music on the plane, so I’ll take my personal stereo. I won’t take these books, they are too heavy. The weather should be good at this time of the year, so we’ll able to do some swimming. We don’t need coats or umbrellas. I’ll put in
