uck. However, hard work can invite good luck. 
When it comes to success, luck can mean being in the right place to meet 
someone, or having the right skills to get a job done. It might mean turning 
down an offer and then having a better offer come along. Nothing can 
replace hard work, but working hard also means you’re preparing yourself 
opportunity. Opportunity very often depends on luck. 
How many of the great inventions and discoveries came about through a 
lucky mistake or a lucky chance? One of the biggest lucky mistakes in 
history is Columbus’ so-called discovery of America. He enriched his 
sponsors and changed history, but he was really looking for India. However, 
Columbus’ chance discovery wasn’t pure luck. It was backed up by years of 
studying and calculating. He worked hard to prove his theory that the world 
was round. 
Success that comes from pure luck and no hard work can be a real 
problem. For example, consider a teenage girl who becomes a movie star. 
Imagine she’s been picked from nowhere because of her looks. She is 
going to feel very insecure, because she knows she didn’t do anything to 
earn her stardom. On the other hand, think about an actress who’s spend 
years learning and working at her craft. When she finally has good luck and 
becomes a success, she will handle stardom better, she knows she earns it. 
People who work hard help make their own luck by being ready 
opportunity knocks. When it comes to success. I think that hard work and 
luck so hand in hand. 
TOPIC 11 
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Universities 
should give the same amount of money to their students' sports activities 
as they give to their university libraries. Use specific reasons and 
examples to support your opinion. 
 I disagree strongly with the idea that the same amount of money should go 
to university sports activities as to university libraries. Although playing 
sports is a wonderful way to learn about teamwork, strategy and reaching 
your goals, it should not be the principal focus of a university education. 
 Students need the most up-to-date library facilities available to get the best 
education. Many of those facilities are very expensive to buy and maintain. 
These include computerized programs and access to internet research 
databases that students can use to find information all around the world. If a 
university is only offering its students resources of a decade ago, it’s 
depriving those students of a tremendous amount of information. 
 Even the book and magazine budget of universities has gone up 
tremendously in last decade. More is being published on every subject, and 
every university wants to have this information available to its students. 
 It also costs money for universities to keep their libraries open. Students 
need to have access to all the libraries' research tools as much of time as 
possible. Because students are young and can stay up all night studying, 
many universities are starting to leave their libraries open all night during 
exam periods. This costs money, because the staff has to be paid extra to be 
there. It also costs money to run the building (electricity, heat) during that 
time. 
 Students at universities are only going to benefit from their education if 
they can get to all the tools they need to learn. Sports are secondary to the 
resources that students need from university libraries. For this reason, 
libraries should always be better funded than sport activities.

12 Many people visit museums when they travel to new places. Why do you think people visit 
museums? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer. 
 People love to visit museums when traveling to new places. I think this is because 
museums tell them a lot about the culture of those places. Museums are also fun. It’s 
almost impossible to get bored in a museum. Every museum will have at least one thing of 
interest to somebody. 
 When visiting someplace new, you can find out about the culture of that place in many 
ways. You can go to a movie or a place of worship or a nightclub. Another option is to sit in 
the park and listen to the people around you. The easiest way to learn about a place's 
culture, though, is by visiting its museums. Museums will show you the history of the place 
you're visiting. They’ll show you what art the locals think is important. 
If there aren't any museums, that tells you something, too. 
 Museums are fun. Even if you're not interested in art or history, there is always something 
to get your attention. Many museums now have what they call "hands-on" exhibits. These 
were originally designed to keep children occupied while their parents were looking at 
exhibits. However, museums have found that adults enjoy hands-on opportunities just as 
much as children. These exhibits have activities like pushing a button to hear more about 
what you're looking at, creating your own work of art, or trying on clothes like those on the 
models in the museum. 
 People also enjoy visiting museums about unusual subjects. For instance, in my 
hometown there's a museum devoted to the potato. This museum has art made out of 
potatoes. It also tells all about the history of the potato, and sells potato mementos like key 
chains and potato dolls. 
People enjoy visiting this museum because it's different. It’s not something they'd find in their 
hometown and the museum's curator enjoy talking about the Great Potato. 
 Museums are popular because they are about us. They reflect our creations, our values, 
and our dreams. No matter who you are or what you like, somewhere there is a museum that 
will amaze and interest you.
