NEW COLLEGE BUILDINGS

1           The College intends to modernise its current site in a multi-million pound investment to upgrade its buildings and create a new campus. The College has secured support and funding for the project and is now looking for a suitable developer to take the project forward. Although no formal plans have been submitted at this stage, the College aims to redevelop the existing location with new buildings in one area and sell the remaining land for development. The total amount of spending for the whole project will be about £40 million.

2           We are aware of people’s worries concerning the redevelopment of the site, but we cannot continue in the existing buildings in the long term. They have become tired and unworkable and are now proving very costly to maintain - which is money that should be spent directly on teaching and learning. The buildings do not meet our needs for the 21st century or the requirements of our students. They are, quite simply, outdated.

3           The quality of the teaching and learning at the College will always be the most important consideration. That’s why we intend to create a brand new College campus. We want our students to have the opportunity to learn in modern, up-to-date facilities. This investment is timed to make sure that our future students will also have top-class facilities.

4           During the creation of our new campus, we intend to ensure that the redevelopment takes place away from any buildings that will still be in use. It will be business as usual for the College. An assessment of all the existing buildings will be carried out to make sure that they are capable of providing a suitable learning environment until the new buildings are complete. Where necessary, money will be made available to ensure that these buildings remain fit-for-purpose until the new buildings are ready.

5           We are determined to work closely with our local neighbours on this project. Although there will be a formal public consultation process as part of the planning procedures, we will also be inviting our immediate local residents to more informal meetings where we can give our full attention to their views and opinions. Our consultants are beginning work on putting together plans that will give us an idea of what the new campus will look like. We will consult closely with local people as the project progresses. Our intention is to create a College that benefits everyone.

6           The College understands the contribution that it makes to the local economy, both in terms of employment and the business generated by our thousands of students and staff. We believe the decision to rebuild the campus here in the town centre, rather than moving to a location outside it, will be very good for the town centre and will help it to continue to be economically successful.

7           We are very aware of the fact that the College stands at the heart of the historic part of the town, with its many attractive old buildings. We view this as an opportunity to improve this area in general. With the exception of the historic Great Hall, all the existing buildings, which are in a mixture of styles and are not attractive, will be pulled down. A new state-of-the-art campus will be constructed that will greatly improve the appearance of this part of the town.

A QUICK WORKOUT CAN DO YOU AS MUCH GOOD AS A LONG ONE

For those who are too busy to spend as long exercising at the gym as they would like

- and for those who are a bit lacking in the willpower department - there is good news. Researchers have found that fitness enthusiasts can reduce the time they spend working out by two-thirds 1 ________________________.

A study involving male weightlifters has suggested that there is no point in exercising for long periods. Those who exercised less saw a significant decrease in body fat. The study focused on 16 students aged 19 to 23, 2___________________. They were split into two groups. Both carried out upper-body training three times a week for eight weeks. One group did one series of eight repetitions, 3______________. At the end of the study, both groups had improved `significantly` in terms of muscular strength, said the researchers.

Report author Dr Julien Baker said: This study indicates that it is unnecessary 4 __________________ and that a shorter work-out may achieve the same results. Many fitness classes are now shorter in duration and promise results in quicker times, and there is much research to suggest that interval training - intense activity 5___________________ and shorter, high-intensity workouts - performing at 80 per cent of your maximum aerobic capacity - can achieve maximum results in shorter periods. This kind of research may see a change in the way we exercise and show that it may be better to do a number of regular express workouts which would fit in with the busy lives that many lead.`

Dr Baker said he also hoped the findings would encourage more people 6__________________.`The more people we get doing a little exercise which is beneficial, as opposed to fewer people doing a lot of exercise, the better it will be,` he added.    

А. to spend hours at the gym

В. who already worked out regularly

С. but this made no difference

D. followed by a short recovery period

Е. and still achieve the same results

F.    to take up exercise

G.   while the other did three sets of the same exercise

THE MEANING OF LANGUAGE

Laughter is a series of vowel-like notes, repeated every one-fifth of a second, A22_________________ 15 facial muscles. People make a `huh-huh-huh` noise rather than `ho-ho-ho` or `ha-ha-ha`. Young children laugh about 300 times a day, an adult only 17.

Your laugh says a lot about you. According to a study, cacklers rejoice in others’ misfortunes, howlers are attention-seekers, snorters are A23___________________ to feelings of superiority, sniggerers are immature and insensitive, belly-laughers are trustworthy and friendly, and chucklers are kind but introspective.

Laughter really is contagious. In January 1962, an outbreak of giggling at a

Tanzanian girls’ school  A24________________________________ to local villages and 14 other schools, forcing several to close. The epidemic finally ended two years later. It is believed that the brain may be programmed to respond when it hears other people’s laughter. That’s how canned laughter on TV comedy programmes  A25____.

Most laughter has nothing to A26___________________ with humour. One researcher examined what people said or heard before they laughed and found it was usually things like `Are you sure?` or `See you later`. We laugh at the end of a sentence as a subconscious signal that we’ve finished speaking or, if someone else is speaking, that we have understood.

Some experts believe that laughter is an unconscious recognition of status - which is why people laugh at their boss’s terrible jokes. One study in a hospital found that senior staff A27_____________ average made 7.5 witty remarks per staff meeting, junior staff 5.5 and lowly paramedics only 0.2. The study also found that women laugh almost twice as much listening to a man as men do listening to a woman.

Men and women laugh at different things. During an online study, a researcher asked 100,000 people to A28______________  various jokes on a scale of 1 to 10, according to how funny they found them. Males preferred aggressive, nasty jokes. Women, who tend to be more lingusitically skilled than men, preferred wordplay.

                                                                                   2) spread             3) enlarged           4) grew

Раздел 4. Письмо.

Comment on the following statement.

Some people say that young people should have as much fun as possible and enjoy themselves during their youth. Others, however, believe that young people should think seriously about their futures and plan for them.

What can you say for and against the idea that youth is a time for having fun?

Write 200-250 words.

Use the following plan:

1   Introduction (Describe the situation)

2   Arguments `for` 

3   Arguments `against`

4   Conclusion

       Some people think that young people have to have as much fun as possible while others say that they have to be more serious and be prepared for the nearest future.

       I think, everyone should prepare themselves for the future. First of all, things can not happen very fast. In this case, it takes some time to prepare yourself for serious things, for example, university or work.

Secondly, everyone, especially, young people need skills for development. You can not take part in marathon without running skills. 

Also, you need to have a habit to improve yourself constantly, which is very useful while growing up.

      At the same time, I can understand people, saying “you only live once” and while you are young, you should try everything and have fun because after “fun time” there is always serious period in life: work, family and others.

      In my opinion, these people have a point. But still who said that working on your qualities and skills does not bring joy? This joy is even bigger although it takes an effort to get it.

      In conclusion, I would like to say that if we weight out the facts, the ones that support enjoyment and those who are against it and up for being serious. We will see that “being serious” is definitely outweigh those who against.
