Meet Mark Esau
Mark is a college student in London.
South African Mark Esau has taken a break from his dancing career and found a new outlet for
his creative talents – hairdressing.
Currently enjoying a two-year hairdressing course, Mark hopes to combine dancing with his
newly acquired skills and travel the world.
“I love transforming people. It´s so exciting to change people´s looks and boost their egos.
That´s why I find hairdressing so fulfilling and rewarding,“ said Mark who used to help his
stepmother in her salon when he was younger.
“I came to England originally to make my name as a dancer in the West End but it´s a hard nut
to crack. I decided I needed a career change and saw the course in Floodlight (a guide to day
and evening classes in London). Not only is the college a friendly place to work but the
lecturers are very encouraging and helpful if you have a problem.“

In May 1987, without permission, he flew his tiny plane from Helsinki,

Finland, across 800 kilometres (500 miles) to Russian territory

completely undetected by Soviet defence systems, until he reached

Moscow. To the amazement of passers-by, he landed his plane in the

headquarters, and told policemen that he had arrived on a public

peace mission.
Sadly, Mathias’ mission was as much a failure as the summit meeting.

He was arrested, tried, and sentenced to four years in prison by the

Test 1 Part 2 – Famous people
Here are the 8 people.
1
Her real name was Norma Jean, but the world knew, and still knows her better as Marilyn
Monroe. She was an actress and film star, famous for her roles as a sexy blonde. She made a lot
of films, among them “Some like it hot“ and “Bus Stop“. She was born in 1926 in America. She
was married twice. First to Joe Di Maggio and then between 1956 and 61 to writer Arthur
Miller. She died in 1962.
2
In 1947 India became an independent country, free from British rule. The year
after India’s independence, the man mainly responsible for it was shot and died. It was of
course Gandhi. He was born in 1869 and after school, studied law in London. He was later
given the title of respect Mahatma, and is remembered as Mahatma Gandhi. He was a thinker,
statesman and nationalist leader. His years in South Africa taught him that violence was not the
way to achieve change, and after his return to India in 1915 he taught and practised non-violent
opposition.
3
From India we return to the USA and, first, Chicago, where a well-known cartoon animator and
film producer was born in 1901. Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Dumbo (the elephant with big
ears) and many other characters were brought to life by Walt Disney. Disney also opened
Disneyland near Los Angeles. Florida’s Disney World, which he also planned, opened in 1971,
five years after Walt Disney’s death.
4

Test 2 Part 1 – The garter snake
A garter snake is a harmless little snake. It is not at all dangerous.
A friend read to me over the phone the following story out of a San Francisco Bay Area
newspaper:
A woman got in her car to drive somewhere one day, and before she had gotten very far from
home, felt something tickling her ankle. She looked down and saw a snake sticking out of the
bottom of her pants leg.
The woman screamed, slammed on the brakes, skidded to a stop at the side of the road, and
threw herself out of the car. She lay on the ground screaming and kicking her legs about in an
effort to get rid of the snake since she couldn’t bring herself to touch it.
A man driving by saw her and thought, “Oh, my God, that poor lady is having a heart attack
or something!“ He stopped and ran over to her to try to find out what was wrong.
Another man driving by saw the first man bending over this kicking, screaming woman and
thought, “Oh, no! That guy’s attacking that woman!“
He stopped, ran over, and punched the first man in the face. And all of that happened because
of a harmless little garter snake.“

Test 2 Part 2 – Special days
April Fools’ Day
On 1 April you can play practical jokes if you like. Teachers must be careful on 1 April when
there is a knock on the classroom door. It may well be the beginning of a practical joke.
Poppy Day
A poppy is a bright red flower. It has a milky juice. Opium comes from poppy plants but opium
has nothing to do with Poppy Day. Poppy Day is also called Remembrance Sunday. You
celebrate Poppy Day to remember those soldiers who died in the two World Wars.
On Poppy Day you wear an artifical poppy which is like the poppies that grew in the fields of
Flandres in Belgium during the First World War. The poppies are made by people who have
been soldiers.
Poppy day is always on the Sunday nearest to 11 November. This is because 11 November
1918 was the last day of the First World War.
Boxing Day
Boxing Day is the day after Christmas Day (which is December 25) so Boxing Day is 26
December. Long ago rich people gave boxes of gifts or money to people who worked for them
on this day. Some people give money to dustmen or postmen for example on Boxing Day.
Father’s Day
You give father presents on Father’s Day, the third Sunday in June. Father’s day came from
America not very long ago. Shopkeepers like Father’s day very much because so many people
buy presents. For example a lot of ties are sold and are given to fathers who may or may not
like and want them.
Halloween
Halloween is the 31 October. The evening before All Saints Day. There are fancy-dress parties
where you can dress as Napoleon or a lion if you like.
Halloween is also for children. On this night children visit houses and ask people if they want
“trick or treat“. A treat is usually money or sweets. If the children don’t get a treat they will
play a trick and that’s not always very nice! This way of celebrating Halloween has come from
the United States.
Twelfth Night
Twelfth Night is celebrated on the twelfth day after Christmas. It is 6 January and it is the end
of Christmas and the New Year celebrations. You take down all Christmas decorations and
Christmas cards.
Shrove Tuesday
Shrove Tuesday is the day before Ash Wednesday which is the first day of Lent. Lent is a
period of forty days before Easter. Traditionally, in the Christian Church, Lent was a long
period for fasting. You ate very little and only certain kinds of food.
As Shrove Tuesday was the last day before the fasting in the Christian year people once
thought it was important to eat something special. They ate pancakes and many people still eat
traditional pancakes on Shrove Tuesday.
May Day
May Day is 1 May when traditionally you celebrate the coming of spring. There may be a “May
Queen“ and you dance around a maypole. A maypole is a tall pole which is placed upright in
the ground. You dance around it, holding a ribbon which goes to the top of the pole.
In cities there are often political meetings and rallies on this day.
Burns’ Night
75
Burns’ Night is celebrated on 25 January every year. It is the day when Robert Burns was born.
He lived between 1759 and 1796 and was a famous Scottish poet. In Scotland you eat
traditional Scottish dishes, listen to bagpipes and read Robert Burns’ poems. Late at night you
sing “Auld Lang Syne“ which is a traditional song. The words of Auld Lang Syne are from a
poem by Robert Burns. The words are Scottish and they mean “good times long ago“. You sing
Auld Lang Syne at the end of parties all over Britain to remember “good times long ago“.

Test 3 Part 1 – A-B
(CD only)
A
From pet to pest
This is a story about a little rabbit called Cottontail. She was owned by a boy called Teddy
Hughes, and when he and his family started a new life in New South Wales, Australia,
Cottontail went with them on the ship. For a while, she was the only rabbit in Australia, as
rabbits were unknown there.
Soon after the Hughes family arrived, Cottontail escaped into the bush. She wasn’t alone for
long, though, for she had a litter of baby rabbits. That’s when Cottontail proved a real failure as
a pet, for those few rabbits bred and bred over a few years until the whole vast country was
overrun with millions of them. That one rabbit had started a dynasty that threatened the
livelihoods of thousands of farmers.
B
Here is another one.
Mission impossible
Mathias Rust was an idealistic young man. The 19 year-old West German was disappointed
when the summit meeting between Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev and American president
Ronald Reagan broke up without agreement in October 1986, and decided that he had to do
something to publicise the search for peace between east and west. He decided to fly on a peace
mission to Russia.
In May 1987, without permission, he flew his tiny plane from Helsinki, Finland, across 800
kilometres (500 miles) to Russian territory completely undetected by Soviet defence systems,
until he reached Moscow. To the amazement of passers-by, he landed his plane in the middle of
Red Square outside the Kremlin, the government’s headquarters, and told soldiers that he had
arrived on a private peace mission.
Sadly, Mathias’ mission was as much a failure as the summit meeting. He was arrested, tried,
and sentenced to four years hard labour by the Russian courts.

Test 3 Part 2 – Why was Stonehenge built?
(CD only)
Here are three different theories.
Number 1
Different people added details to this first theory about why Stonehenge was built.
Gerald Hawkins who is an American astronomer thought Stonehenge was a very old
observatory and a kind of huge computer. You could use Stonehenge to make calculations
about how the sun, the moon and the planets move.
Sir Fred Hoyle is a well-known British astronomer and writer. He thinks that Stonehenge could
help those who built this giant stone circle to predict eclipses of the sun and moon. An eclipse
is when you can’t see the sun or the moon. This happens for example when the moon is
between the sun and the Earth. When you predict an eclipse you say exactly when it will
happen.
Euan Mackie, a Scottish archaeologist, thought there was a kind of old school for astronomers
or priests near Stonehenge. When the priests had studied at this school for a long time and had
learned a lot they could stand in the middle of Stonehenge and tell people the positions of the
sun, the moon and the stars. They used the stones as a guide.
Number 2
In 1920 Alfred Watkins who was an amateur historian presented a theory that Stonehenge is the
centre of a system of pathways, narrow paths or roads where people walked for hundreds of
miles. A few of these pathways lead to other stone circles. These pathways go in all directions.
Alfred Watkins called the pathways “legs“ and believed they were magical. He said they
formed an enormous map which showed the positions of the stars. His theory was that energy
followed these “legs“ or paths. When you walked, following these paths, you got a lot of this
spiritual energy into your body. You almost became a battery. Watkins thought the energy was
so strong it could make the stones at Stonehenge fly.
Number 3
People who believe in UFOs have another theory. A UFO is an unidentified flying object, for
example a flying saucer coming from another planet to visit Earth. People who think there are
UFOs believe Stonehenge was built by people or creatures from other planets. They, people
from Mars or some other planet, needed a good landing place that could be seen from space.
They visited Earth and built Stonehenge. Now when they are approaching Earth they can see
Stonehenge from a great distance. Stonehenge is used for navigation to guide spaceships or
flying saucers. It is like a light-house.
People who believe in UFOs also believe Stonehenge is used as a landing place for aliens from
other planets. It is like their Heathrow or Arlanda.
