RUBRICS Richard Jackson and his wife spent their honeymoon going down the Zambezi river in a canoe. „They say this is a good test of a relationship,‟ said Tim as he handed me the paddle. I wasn‟t sure that such a tough challenge was what was needed on a honeymoon, but it was too late to go back. My wife, Leigh, and I were standing with our guide, Tim Came, on the banks of the Zambezi near the Zambia/Botswana border. This was to be the highlight of our honeymoon: a safari downriver, ending at the point where David Livingstone first saw the Victoria Falls. 1 D places Neither of us had any canoeing experience. Tentatively we set off downstream, paddling with more enthusiasm than expertise. Soon we heard the first distant rumblings of what seemed like thunder. „Is that Victoria Falls?‟ we inquired naïvely. „No,‟ said Tim dismissively. „That‟s our first rapid.‟ Easy, we thought. Wrong! 2 F events The canoe plotted a crazed path as we careered from side to side, our best efforts seeming only to add to our plight. This was the first of many rapids, all relatively minor, all enjoyably challenging for tourists like us. 3 A The overnight stops would mean mooring at a deserted island in the middle of the river, where Tim‟s willing support team would be waiting, having erected a camp and got the water warm for our bucket showers. As the ice slowly melted in the drinks, restaurant-quality food would appear from a cooker using hot coals. Then people would begin to relax, and the day‟s stories would take on epic proportions. 4............................................................. 5........................................................ 6....................................................

TYPE II You are going to read a newspaper article. For questions 13 – 19, choose the answer (A, B, C or D) which you think fits best according to the text. Mark your answers on the separate answer sheet. Groomed for TV Martyn Harris looks back on his experience of being trained to appear on TV. I am terrible on TV. I slouch, sneer, stammer, fidget, forget my lines and swallow the ends of my words. It rankles, because I know inside I am scintillating, sensitive and sincere. Television can make any fool look like an intellectual. Newsreaders can contrive to look nice and even the worst presenters can seem sensible, but I come over as a shifty subversive. The single television programme I have presented was so awful that even my mother couldn‟t find a good word for it. After a catastrophic radio show last year, when I addressed the interviewer by the wrong name throughout, I swore I‟d never do broadcasting again. Until now, that is. I have my first novel out next month, which is called Do It Again, and the PR people inform me you just have to get out there and promote it. Scotland one day, the south coast of England the next. It‟s going to be hectic and I have to get my act together. Which is how I find myself being scrutinised for televisual potential by two svelte creatures from Public Image Ltd, while cameraman Alastair focuses on my trembling upper lip. Public Image is the outfit which has been teaching MPs how to look good on TV. They also groom executives from major companies in everything from corporate presentations to handling broadcast interrogation, but as far as I‟m concerned, if they can make politicians look like real people, they are good enough for me. „He blinks a lot, doesn‟t he?‟ says Diana, the speech specialist, studying my image on a video monitor. „And the crossed legs look defensive. But the voice isn‟t bad.‟ Jeannie, who is introduced to me as Public Image‟s „charisma consultant‟, takes a step backwards to study the general posture. „Needs to get his bottom back in the sofa. And the jacket makes him look a bit deformed. Where does he get his

1 The writer believes that one reason he is terrible on TV is that A he doesn‟t make enough effort to perform well. B he can‟t help being rude to interviewers. C his personality seems unappealing to viewers. D his personality differs from that of newsreaders and presenters. 2 The writer has become involved with Public Image Ltd because A he wants to find out what such companies do. B he has been told that it is in his interests to do so. C he is intrigued by the work they do for politicians. D he has been told that the company is good at promoting novels. 3 Diana and Jeannie both say that one of the writer‟s problems when appearing on TV concerns A the way he sits. B the clothes he wears. C the way his eyes move. D the way he moves. 4 What does Diana tell the writer about politicians? A They are usually reluctant to tell the truth. B They often fail to realise that they are shouting. C They are frequently nervous when they appear on TV. D They frequently speak in a way that is harmful to them. (1C,2B,3A,4D) 
