Questions 6--9 are based on the following task. (10 points)
Identifying the topic sentences:
6 Innumerable dubs and societies arrange dances and balls as social occasions for
their members. People tend to go to such dances in groups, having first dinner together out
or in the house of one of them. Dining out in a restaurant in the evening is not often in the
province, though becoming less rare as the life improves. When they dine out, they look for
restaurants, which have exotic and unusual menus. There are a surprising number of them,
some in quite small villages. Their good reputation attracts customers from far and wide.
7 People play darts, talk and drink, usually while standing up. Every pub has its
name, its sign and its "regulars", its customers who turn up night after night. A few old
pubs have real character but many are dull and ugly. It seems that the English think it rather
indecent for people to drink alcoholic drlnks in any place where they can be seen from
outside. So pubs usually not only have no tables outside, but also are so built that it is
impossible to see in, or for those who are inside to see out. There are exceptions to this, but
not many.
8 With pint glasses filled with beer in Scotland the national drink is whisky

women sit at tables, and they often provide good lunches.
9 From 3.00 to 3.30 p.m. teashops offer you, as well as a pot of tea, bread and

atternoon tea. Nor do they use teapots, which they eonsider old-fashioned. They are quite
satisfied with teabags and a pot of hot rather than boiling water. The British say the
American tea is like dishwater.
A. The teashop is almost as British as the pub.
B. In the past years nightclubs have spread from London to other towns.
C. The British still have their own ways to spend leisure and pr[rate hours.

our arrival on July 14. We arrived at $: 00 p. m and were told our room was not ready.
We left our luggage with the clerk at the reservations desk and went to dinner. Our
room still wasn't ready after dinner. In fact, it wasn't until 9: 30 p. m. which made the
evening a total loss and was very hard on our two children who are usually in bed by 8: 00
p. m,
The people at the desk were impolite that evening. I had the impression the hotel was understaffed.
Well, can you do something [or us, Mr. Pane? You see the compensation should be
made to us. That is, out stay in your hotel should Be free.
Yours truly,
George

Here is a sample essay:
There are a growing number of vegetarians nowadays. They don't eat foods containing
meat. According to the research I recently conducted, there are some beliefs that prompt
those people to become vegetarians.
Some people do not eat meat because they believe it is unhealthy. Certain types of meat
contain a high amount of fat. Too much fat in diet can cause health problems llke heart
attacks and cancer. People can also get serious diseases or infections from eating meat that is
not cooked long enough. Not everyone who eats meat will have these problems, but many
people stop eating meat because they do not want to take the risk.
Some people do not eat meat because they believe it is too expensive. By not buying
meat, these vegetarians have more money left over to buy other kinds of food. Vegetarians
believe they can get enough protein that their bodies need by eating other less expensive
types of food like nuts, cheese and milk.
