Part II (questions 6-10): Arrange the following paragraphs in the correct order so that 
they form a complete passage. Write the letters next to each paragraph in the correct 
order from number 6 to number 10 in the box below the passage. 
A. Each of the three days was divided into two morning and two afternoon sessions on 
different subjects. Some of these were very interesting; Marketing and Time 
Management were particularly good. However, some of the other subjects were treated 
in a rather superficial manner, or were aimed at very inexperienced secretaries. 
B. The course was well organized and all the administrative aspects went smoothly. The 
course secretary was always available to answer any questions, and we were asked to 
complete a feedback questionnaire every day. 
C. From 10-12 December 2020 I attended a course called ‘Developing the Executive 
Assistant’, which was run by RP Consultancy in Brighton, as part of my professional 
development plan 
D. There were two trainers, who were both very professional in their manner and gave 
well-prepared sessions, although one of them, Judy, was not very good at keeping to 
time, which meant there was often no time for questions. In addition, she did not give 
us much opportunity to contribute our own ideas in her lecture 
E. On the whole, this is a well-run course. I found it very useful, and I would therefore 
recommend the company to send other secretaries on it. It is perhaps better suited to 
less experienced secretaries, who might benefit from more of the sessions than I 
personally did. 
6 7.. 8. 9.. 10.. 
Part III (questions 11-15): Read the following passage and answer the questions under 
each passage by circling the best letter (A, B, C, or D). 
Liam Killen 
Liam Killen is a rising star in cross-country mountain biking. He has raced since he was 
12 and had both successes and disappointments in that time. His worst moment so far was 
during a recent World Championship. His front tyre started to lose air at the last part of the 
race and he finished fourth. This was not the first time he’d been unlucky. In a previous race, 
it was raining heavily and he crashed his bike just minutes after the crash. 
He often gets nervous before a race but he thinks that this is a good thing. ‘Nervous 
energy makes you go faster and on the day. It’s all about winning. The important thing is to 
stay positive’. 
Liam likes a hard race with steep climbs. ‘They make all the difference. You have to be 
really fit to get ahead’. He also enjoy entering competitions at tops levels as there are fewer 
riders in the race and this makes the start easier. ‘You can get into the front group more 
quickly’. 
Liam has been chosen to go to the Olympic Games and one day he would like to win a 
medal. ‘I’m still quite young and expect to be riding until my mid-thirties so I’ve got enough 
time to achieve my dream. I know the Olympics are hard and I’ll have to produce my best-
performance yet. But I feel confident’. 
Liam trains for 30 hours a week – always outside – and he reaches speeds of 65 kph. He 
thinks that cycling professionally is the best job in the world and would recommend it to 
anyone. His advice to people starting to race is ‘Be prepared for some hard work. If the 
training was easy, it wouldn’t make you faster’.

A. includes some hilly ground

B. Most riders will be younger than him 
C. The race is longer than he is used to 
D. He is looking forward to the challenge. 
15. Which of the following would Liam say about cycling? 
A. ‘I think everyone should start cycling. You don’t need to rain very hard to get good at 
the sport and it’s great fun’. 
B. ‘I often get nervous before a race and I think that makes me perfume badly but I don’t 
intend to give up’ 
C. ‘I know it’s not possible to win every race but I love cycling. I plan to continue the 
sport for quite a few more years’. 
D. ‘I have to cycle at least 4 hours a day. To get faster I’ll have to do even more and I 
don’t know if I have enough time for that’.
