PREGUNTA 9
Read the text and the questions. Then choose the correct answer
I've just come back from a trip to Australia. I visited the two main cities, Sydney and Melbourne, but I also
went to Perth in the southwest. We traveled by plane because it is a very big country and traveling by car or
by train takes too much time. Australia and the Australians were exactly as I expected. There is everything
from dry deserts to the most fantastic beaches. The Australians are relaxed and very friendly, but they speak
with an accent and words which were a little difficult for me to understand. First of all, Australians say G'day,
which means Good day. Then one day I got an invitation to a barbie, and they told me to BYO meat and drinks.
Well, I can tell you I was very confused. What did they mean? I finally discovered that a barbie is not a doll but
a barbecue, and that BYO means Bring Your Own. I was very confused when they asked me if I wanted some
pasta with a dead horse. I finally found out that a dead horse is simply tomato sauce. So, if you decide to visit
Australia, get a dictionary before you go. Then you won't look like a complete alf, which in Australian English
means stupid!
Which could be the best title for this story?
Seleccione una:

a. Eating out in Australia

b. BYO dictionary - how to understand Australian English

c. Australian people and animals

 d. What you can see in Australia and how

PREGUNTA 14
WORKING LIFE
It's nine o'clock in the evening. I've been in my office all day, and I'm feeling very tired. I've just finished
answering the last email of the day. It was a request for a sponsorship from a local soccer team. "Sorry, but
we don't have any money to invest right now," is our answer. I feel bad about refusing to support them as we
have done for the last five years, but my boss says that we have to find other marketing ideas. I don't like my
job anymore. I've felt depressed about it for a very long time now, and it's clear to me that the moment has
come to make a decision about what I want to do. I've worked for this company since 2003. This should be an
advantage, but I've begun to find it more and more boring. I'm a marketing manager, and this is what I studied
in college. And I was, until one morning six months ago when I woke up without any energy. All I wanted was
to stay in bed and not go to work. At first, I thought I was just a little tired, but now I know it's something more
serious than that. I need a change, and I need it now. But what type of change? We spend so much time at
work that it influences our life enormously. Feelings are not important in my job, only money, sales and
competition. This is not what I want. I've thought about this for a while, and I now realize that what I really
want to do is work with disabled children again
He isn't happy about:
Seleccione una:
 a. being in charge of the sponsorship department

b. saying no to the sponsorship

c. asking for the sponsorship

d. working late
