Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, is a city of contrasts. It is an exciting, crowded, modem city and at
the same time, a city that is full of history. The streets of Bangkok are usually noisy and crowded with people. Some are selling food, other selling clothing, cassette tapes, flowers, or souvenirs.

shopping, and the friendly Thai people. Everyone seems to smile there.
Most of the year, Bangkok is hotter than any other capital cities in Asia, but from December to
February, the weather is cooler and much more comfortable. Actually, it is an interesting city to visit at
any time of the year. The shopping is excellent, and the price is cheaper than in many other large cities in
Southeast Asia.
There is always plenty to do in Bangkok any time of the day or night from watching Thai dancing or
boxing to taking a boat trip on the river or trying some of the delicious and spicy food. And if you get
tired of the city and the traffic, there are beautiful beaches only two hours away by bus.

I. Read the passage and choose the best answer from A, B, C or D. LIFE OF A MAN Thomas is now in his sixties, and is one of the many homeless people who live on the streets he buys a newspaper most days. Today, with his fellow tramps, he reads about yesterday’ s student demonstration. Like many of the tramps that live under the bridge in New York, Thomas was not always so poor. A long time ago he was in the Navy, and like many who have been to sea for a long time, he has stayed slim and fit. Despite the strict organization on board ship, he loved the life, and had the opportunity to see many countries. He visited Poland and Russia; in South Africa he realized what he valued in each country was the people he met. He was always astonished and delighted by the ways in which the people he met differed from one country to another. Some day, he hopes, everyone will see the world as he does. After many happy years in Navy, he had to retire. The good things in life always come to an end. His mother and father had long since died and he’d lost touch with his other relatives. He came to New York and became an industrial designer. He was happy, although it wasn’t the same as the sea. He never wanted to get married and have children. And then there was the period of darkness. He smiles sadly. He shrugs his shoulders and looks at his hands. There are tears in the corners of his eyes. This is something that he cannot bring himself to talk about. “It all went wrong”, he whispers. He was silent for a minute; then recovered. He began to talk more loudly. “Look at me now­ it makes me angry. And what about the President? He’s been in power for years, and look what he’s done for us. Nothing! I’m still out on the streets and live the life of a tramp.” 39. It would appear that Thomas _________ A. has organized a protest recently. B. takes an interest in important events. C. has no contact with other homeless people. D. is not as poor as he used to be. 40. When Thomas was in the Navy, he _________ A. only visited three countries. B. enjoyed the strict life on board ship. C. was very well paid for the job he did. D. liked meeting people from different countries. 41. Thomas changed his job because he _________ A. was too old to stay in the Navy. B. wanted to start a family. C. wanted to be near his relatives in New York. D. did not enjoy the work any more. 42. Thomas lost his job and became a tramp because _________ A. he did not have any family. B. he was tired of doing normal job. C. of reasons he does not want to discuss D. of the death of his parents. 43. The text states that Thomas thinks the President _________ A. should not allow home people to stay on the streets. B.should increase pensions for oldpeople. C. has not had enough time to change things. D.should have done more to help people like him

Task 3. Read the article. Six sentences have been removed from the article. Choose from the
sentences A-G the one which fits each gap (14-19). There is one extra sentence which you do not
need to use. For questions 14 – 19 write the correct letter A – G on the answer sheet.

Ever since the 1910s, when film-makers like Cecil B. DeMille first set up shop in
Hollywood, mapmakers, the explorers of the city’s social terrain, have been compiling
that only-in-Los Angeles fixture, maps showing the locations of the fabulous homes of
the stars. Collectively, they form an unofficial version of the Oscars, reflecting who’s in
and who’s out in the film world. ‘Each one looks different’, says Linda Welton, whose
grandfather and mother pioneered these maps. (14) ________. Former icons vanish from
them, new ones appear on them, and some of the truly greats are permanent fixtures on
them.
In 1933, noticing the steady stream of tourists drifting westward to follow the stars
from Hollywood to Beverly Hills, the nearby district where most of the stars went to
live, Ms. Welton’s grandfather, Wesley G Lake, obtained a copyright for his Guide to
Starland Estates and Mansions. (15) _________. For 40 years Ms. Welton’s mother,
Vivienne E. Welton sold maps just down the road from Gary Cooper’s place at 200
Baroda. The asterisk indicated that it was the actor’s final home, as opposed to a plus
sign (denoting a former home) or a zero (for no view from the street).
‘My grandfather asked Mom to talk to the gardeners to find out where the stars lived’,
Ms. Welton recalls. ‘She’d say: ‘Oh, this is a beautiful garden. Who lives here?’ Who
would suspect a little girl? Ms. Welton and her crew now sell about 10 000 maps a year
from a folding chair parked curbside six days a week. (16) __________.
The evolution of the maps mirrors both the Hollywood publicity machine and real
estate and tourism development. (17) __________. The first celebrity home, according to
Marc Wanamaker, a historian and a founder of the Westwood and Beverly Hills
Historical Societies belonged to the artist Paul de Longpre. He had a luxuriously landscaped house at Cahuenga Avenue and Hollywood and real estate agents would
take prospective clients past it on tours.
Although it is not known for certain who published the first map, by the mid-1920s all
sorts of people were producing them. (18) ____________.
One of the most famous of the early maps was produced to show the location of
Pickfair, the sprawling home of the newly married stars Mary Pickford and Douglas
Fairbanks Sr, and the homes of some of their star friends. During World War I, they
opened their home to serve refreshments to soldiers. As Vivienne Welton once
explained in an interview with Mercator’s World, a map and cartography magazine,
‘She urged a few friends to do the same. (19) __________.
For over 40 years, people have marched toward the corner of Sunset and Baroda with
hand-painted yellow signs saying: ‘Star Maps, 2 blocks’, ‘Star Maps, 1 block’, ‘Star Maps
The Third English Language Contest for School Children, 2014-2015
Form: 10 - 11 Page6
here’. The maps reflect the shifting geography of stardom as celebrities, seeking escape
from over-enthusiastic fans, some with ill intentions, have moved out to other locations.
A. As they do so, they give advice to the tourists on star safaris through the lime
green landscape of Beverly Hills.
B. Studios like Paramount published the names and addresses of its stars on theirs,
and businesses distributed them as a promotional gimmick.
C. Others, however, say that the star maps are still an essential part of Hollywood
and the film world.
D. Early film stars like Lillian Gish lived in modest, somewhat grubby rooming
houses, taking street cars to and from the studio.
E. Updated regularly, they are still for sale at the corner of Sunset Boulevard and
Baroda Drive.
F. And so a map was needed.
G. It is the oldest continuously published star map and one of a half-dozen or so
maps of varying degrees of accuracy and spelling correctness sold today.
