Part B Passages

5 years ago, I had to make a big decision. At that time, I was working for a small engineering 11 company. However, thing were not going very well for the company and it was losing money. One day, the boss told us that the company was out of business. We were all unemployed 12. That lunch time we went to the pub 13 as usual. We were all very depressed 14. While of course, we talked about the problem. Then the landlord 15 of the pub heard the news. He said, “Why don’t you buy the company.” At first we all laughed and then we started to discuss it properly. We knew the problems. The company had lost a lot of customers because it hadn’t developed new products, but finally we decided 16 to go for it. So we bought the company. The first few years were very difficult. But we worked hard and we had a bit of luck. We began to improve 3 years ago. Since then we have done pretty well. Last years we took on 4 new people. And so far this year we have taken on another ten.

11. Who bought the company that was out of business?

12. When did the company start to employ new people?

13. What did the story mainly tell us?

Now it’s 8:00, time for the educational report. GCSE is the British exam taken by the students in England and Wales around the age of 16. Recently researchers at university have confirmed the doubt of many parents and employers 17 that some GCSEs are easier than others, despite official claims that each subject is equally difficult. The researchers found that sciences and modern languages were the hardest GCSEs to do well in. Chemistry ranked the hardest of the major subjects followed by physics and French. They also found that regardless of the ability students were more likely to gain good grades in easier subjects than in chemistry or French. Drama was the easiest GCSE to do well in, followed by physics education, media studies, English, English literature and religions studies. The number of test takers in physical education and religious studies rose faster than in any other subjects last year. More than 144,000 pupils set GCSEs in physical education last summer, an increase of 7.5 percent, and 147,500 took the religious studies exam, arise of 4.6%. However, it was the problem for the country if pupils avoided hard subjects. Fewer peoples would go on to study languages or sciences at A level and university. Even though they were important to Britain’s future development.

14 What is the most difficult subject according to the research?

15 How many pupils took the test of physical education last year?

16 What does the report mainly tell us about the GCSEs.
