Five celebrities tell Andrew Morgan their favourite memories of railway journeys Page 3 of 8
A. Andrea Thompson - Newsreader
I fell in love with the south of France a long time ago and try to get back there as often as I can. There’s a
local train from Cannes along the coast which crosses the border with Italy. It takes you past some of the most
amazing seascapes. It never matters what the weather is like, or what time of the year it is, it is always
enchanting. Out of the other window are some of the best back gardens and residences in the whole of France.
You feel like someone peeping into the property of the rich and famous. The travellers themselves are always
lively because there is an interesting mix of tourists and locals, all with different itineraries but all admirers of the breathtaking journey. B. Arisu Mezuki - Actress
I imagine most people’s favourite impressions of trains and railways are formed when they are young
children, but that’s not my case. I was brought up in Singapore and Cyprus, where I saw very few trains, let
alone travelled on them. It wasn’t until I was a teenager that trains began to dominate my life. I made a film
which featured a railway in Yorkshire. Most of the filming took place on an old, disused stretch of the line
which had been lovingly maintained by volunteers. That’s where my passion for steam trains began. When
we weren’t filming, we took every opportunity to have a ride on the train, and, when I went back last year,
it was as if time had stood still. Everything was still in place, even the gas lights on the station platform!
C. Betty Cooper - Novelist
I am indebted to one train in particular: the Blue Train, which took my husband and me on our
honeymoon across France to catch a boat to Egypt.
It was on the train that my husband gave me a pink dress, which I thought was absolutely wonderful. Someone
happened to mention that pink was good for the brain, and I’ve never stopped wearing the colour since. What
I remember about the journey itself, however, is how lovely it was to travel through France and then by
boat up the Nile to Luxor. It was, without a doubt, the perfect way to wind down after all the wedding preparations
D. Martin Brown - Journalist
We were working on a series of articles based on a round-the-world trip and had to cross a desert in an
African country. There wasn’t a road, so the only way we could continue our journey was to take what was
affectionately known as the Desert Express. The timetable was unreliable - we were just given a day. We
also heard that, in any case, the driver would often wait for days to depart if he knew there were people still
on their way. When it appeared, there was a sudden charge of what seemed like hundreds of people
climbing into and onto the carriages - people were even allowed to travel on the roof free. During the night,
the train crossed some of the most beautiful landscapes I have ever seen. It was like a dream, like travelling across the moon.
E. Raj Patel - Explorer
I have enjoyed so many rail journeys through the years, but if I had to pick a favourite it
would be the Nile Valley Express, which runs across the desert of northern Sudan. The
one misfortune in my youth, growing up in South Africa, was missing out on a family
train journey from Cape Town to the Kruger National Park. I was regarded as being too
young and troublesome and was sent off to an aunt. When I came to live in England as a
teenager, I still hadn’t travelled by train. London Waterloo was the first real station I
ever saw and its great glass dome filled me with wonder. Your answers: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Part 3 (10 points). Read the following passage and choose the best answer to each question.
Wood has long been a popular building material in North America because it has generally been plentiful
and cheap. Swedish settlers in Delaware built log cabins as early as 1630s. In New England, British
colonists built wooden ‘saltbox houses’. Most of the wooden homes of Colonial times could be built with
simple tools and minimal skills. Page 4 of 8
In the early 19th century, the standard wooden house was built with beams set into heavy posts and held
together with wooden pegs. This method of construction was time –consuming and required highly skilled
workers with special tools. The balloon – frame house, invented in 1833 in Chicago by a carpenter from
Hartford. Connecticut, used a frame of lightweight lumber, mostly 2 x 4 and 2 x 6 inches. This type of
house could be assembled by any careful worker who could saw in a straight line and drive a nail.
This revolution in building was made possible by improved sawmills that could quickly cut boards to
standard sizes and the lower cost of lumber that resulted. There were also new machines that could produce
huge quantities of inexpensive nails. Skeptics predicted that a strong wind could send such houses flying
through the air like balloons and, at first ‘balloon frame’ was a term of derision. But the light frames
proved practical, and wooden houses have been basically built this way ever since.

HOT TIPS FOR STAYING COOL AT EXAM TIME 0. _____C_____
It’s always good to know what you’re aiming for so that you know if and when you get there. By having an
aim for each week, or even each day, it will help you check your progress and show you if you need to change your plans. 1. ___________
Rather than have to work through masses of notes every time you revise something, try noting down things
you want to remember on a piece of paper. It doesn’t seem much to learn that way, but it makes sure you
don’t miss out anything important. Once you’ve learnt the main points, rewrite them on another piece of
paper without looking at your notes. 2. ___________
There is nothing worse than being confused about what you need to prepare for your coming exam. If you
have a plan and stick to it, you won’t end up cramming all your revision into the last few hours! Make a list
of your exams and what you need to learn beforehand, and then drew up a timetable covering all the topics.
You can then work out what you need to do on a weekly basis and when you are going to do it. 3. ___________
By now you’ll probably have discovered the method of revision which suits you best. But every now and
then it might be helpful to try a different method. You could try working with a group of friends, or using a
different book which covers things from a new angle. Whatever it is, just try something different occasionally. 4. ___________
Some things are almost impossible to remember, so you may need to do something unusual to help you
remember. Try writing them down in large letters and bright colors and sticking them on the fridge, on a
mirror or on the bathroom door. Try recording them onto a cassette player and keep playing it back to
yourself - on a personal stereo if you have got one! 5. ___________
Not too many people like exams and most of us get nervous before and during exams. But if you’ve
followed your plan and put the effort into revising, then there is no need to worry or panic. Hopefully these
tips will have helped you. Give it your best shot - that’s all that anyone can expect from you. Your answers: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. SECTION D. WRITING
