    The day of the Exam

    When the day comes give yourself plenty of time (0) ........ do everything:
    have breakfast but don't drink (1) ........ much; go to the toilet; arrive on
    time, but not too early or you will find yourself getting more and more
    nervous while you wait to start.
    In the exam, calm (2) ........ down by breathing deeply and thinking
    positively. Read the exam questions carefully and underline all of the key
    instruction words (3) ........ indicate how the questions should be
    answered. If possible start with the ones (4) ........ can do easily to give
    you confidence. Remember what you've learnt from practising questions
    and doing mock exams previously and plan your use of time. Don't panic
    (5) ........ everyone around you seems to start writing furiously straight
    away and don't be tempted to follow their example.
    Finally, after the exam, don't join in a discussion about (6) ........ everyone
    else did, (7) ........ you want to frighten yourself, and drain your self-
    confidence for the next exam. Above (8) ........, remember that exams are
    not designed to catch you out, but to find out what you know, what you
    understand and what you can do.

    Success
    Some say you can do it in seven days, others promise success in 24 hours,
    or you may prefer to take (0) ........ time and do it in 5 weeks. What are we
    talking about? Believe it (1) ........ not, these periods (2) ........ time refer to
    language learning courses that promise excellent results in less time (3)
    ........ it takes to say 'Bonjour'!
    However, the advertisements of these companies are not necessarily the
    best guide and if you don't know what to look for in a good course you
    could be left with little (4) ........ than a large bill.
    A complaint was recently made to a consumer rights group against
    WhizzLearn Systems, a language school chain, and the company has been
    forced to remove its claim that its technique is ten times better than any
    (5) ........ method. The Managing Director of WhizzLearn Systems said
    (6) "........ we still believe our claim is true, we are willing to change our
    advert. But the fact remains, if you spend 3 hours per day for 5 weeks on
    our language course you will soon be speaking the language. What we (7)
    ........ have done was to make (8) ........ clearer in the advert."

    An Incredible Vegetable

    Garlic, a member of the Lilliaceae family which also includes onions, is


    (0) ........ (COMMON) used in cooking all around the world. China is
    currently the largest (1) ........ (PRODUCT) of garlic, which is particularly
    associated with the dishes of northern Africa and southern Europe. It is
    native to central Asia and has long had a history as a health-giving food,
    used both to prevent and cure (2) ......... (ILL) In ancient Egypt, workers
    building the pyramids were given garlic to keep them strong, while
    Olympic athletes in Greece ate it to increase their resistance to infection.
    The forefather of antibiotic medicine, Louis Pasteur, claimed garlic was
    as (3) ........ (EFFECT) as penicillin in treating infections. Modern-day (4)
    ........ (SCIENCE) have proved that garlic can indeed kill bacteria and
    even some viruses, so it can be very useful for people who have coughs
    and colds. In (5) ........ (ADD), some doctors believe that garlic can reduce
    blood (6) ........ (PRESS) The only (7) ........ (ADVANTAGE) to this truly
    amazing food is that the strong and rather (8) ........ (SPICE) smell of
    garlic is not the most pleasant!
