I can see the attraction of blogs, to update friends, but I dont read them if I dont know the author. 1 Andy Howden (TV Producer) I havent time to keep track of things on paper, and blogs dont appeal. If Im going through a period of change, I record my thoughts but its not consistent. 2 Sarah Whitworh (Student) I write all my thoughts and feelings in a diary. It goes on for pages, and its a great way of tracking how you change. I shout about the arguments Ive had. 3 Rio Takanashi (Student) Blogs are a great way of conveying your thoughts and experiences. I dont keep a diary, but I like to read about what others have done. 4 Maxine Johnson (Teacher/Lecturer) I use an organiser and record things Ive gone through with my students, as well as appointments and meetings. Without one Id be lost. 5 Barbara Wood (Patient advocate) My appointments diary allows me to manage what I am doing. Emails are a good way of revising plans, but I generally prefer to keep a record on paper.

(from Charlotte Philby The Independent on Sunday 11th march 2007)

exam_int_in.doc TELEWORKING Study Listening, CUP RON HOWARD There's been a rapid increase in the number of teleworkers and telestudents over the last ten years or so. Naturally, this growth in the number of teleworkers affects only certain occupations; workers involved include those in the information sector especially but also business professionals and scientists, and also teachers. In some cases people are being persuaded or even forced to become telecommuters, but often they choose to do so themselves. Why do people choose to work at home? Well there are a number of advantages for the worker and also for the people who employ them and for society in general. Let's look at these. First of all, what are the advantages for the worker? I would say the main advantage is that less time is spent commuting; that is, travelling to and from work. Someone working in a big city like London can easily spend an hour or more travelling to work and the same amount of time returning home. Two or three hours a day can therefore be saved and this is time that can be spent in more profitable ways than sitting in a train or car. Commuting is quite stressful and teleworking eliminates that stress. Not having to travel saves not only time but also money, bus or train fares can amount to hundreds of pounds a year; motoring costs are also high. Working at home can be more convenient than working in an office. Work time can be scheduled to suit the worker rather than the boss, breaks can be taken as and when needed rather than according to fixed schedules and it's generally pleasanter working in the comfort of your own home. There's no need to dress up and so on. The choice of a place to live no longer depends an nearness to the office. Less expensive and more attractive areas far from the city now become a possibility. Finally people who can't leave home for any reason can work as telecommuters; for example, those with disabilities or the need to look after small children or elderly parents. Recent surveys have shown that 68% of people who telecommute want to continue but / 32% want to return to central office working, why? What are the disadvantages? For one thing the worker may have to equip his home at his own expense, this means buying a computer and peripherals such as a printer and perhaps also a fax machine. Heating and lighting bills are likely to be higher, and there's also the question of insurance. These costs have to be set off against the savings from not having to travel. Even if the employer pays for the equipment, home working makes a demand on space, a spare bedroom may have to be converted into an office.

exam_int_in.doc THE NO. 1 LADIES' DETECTIVE AGENCY (pp 1-5) Mma Ramotswe had a detective agency in Africa, at the foot of Kgale Hill. These were its assets: a tiny white van, two desks, two chairs, a telephone, and an old typewriter. Then there was a teapot, in which Mma Ramotswe - the only lady private detective in Botswana brewed redbush tea. And three mugs - one for herself, one for her secretary, and one for the client. What else does a detective agency really need? Detective agencies rely on human intuition and intelligence, both of which Mma Ramotswe had in abundance. No inventory would ever include those, of course. [] She had a sign painted in bright colours, which was then set up just off the Lobatse Road, on the edge of town, pointing to the small building she had purchased: THE NO. 1 LADIES' DETECTIVE AGENCY. FOR ALL CONFIDENTIAL MATTERS AND ENQUIRIES. SATISFACTION GUARANTEED FOR ALL PARTIES. UNDER PERSONAL MANAGEMENT. There was considerable public interest in the setting up of her agency. There was an interview on Radio Botswana, in which she thought she was rather rudely pressed to reveal her qualifications, and a rather more satisfactory article in The Botswana News, which drew attention to the fact that she was the only lady private detective in the country. This article was cut out, copied, and placed prominently on a small board beside the front door of the agency. After a slow start, she was rather surprised to find that her services were in considerable demand. She was consulted about missing husbands, about the creditworthiness of potential business partners, and about suspected fraud by employees. In almost every case, she was able to come up with at least some information for the client; when she could not, she waived her fee, which meant that virtually nobody who consulted her was dissatisfied.

She's a beautifull girl; I have knew that she's American and she's stading medicine at Navarra University with your brother Peter. She's very young, but I think that she's apropiate to David. The marriage ceremony was in San Saturnino Church at Twelve o'clock. The wheater was very could, and I was dressed with a summer dress, so I was freezy oll day. It was a happy ceremony, with a clasical coral and finally, David told us some words to thanks to the guests. The party was in Gorraiz castle. Do you remember? It is the same restaurant when I made my wedding. It is a marvellois place and the food is fantastic. We started to eat at half past three and we finished at seven o'clock! In the wedding there were a hundred and twenty guests, and the mayority of them were loves and friends to David and Jenny. People were very happy and we danced a lot. At nine o'clock, the waiters served us a lot of food to dinner and the Party finished at twelve o'clock at night. I meet with Paul. Do you remember? He's working in London and He's amrried with a English girl cold Mary. We went speaking about the band all night and he gave me loves to you. I see you! Blanca

Dear David, I am sad because you can't visit me but I talked to Peter and as soon as we could we are going to travel to London and we'll visit you. About the wedding, I enjoyed a lot with people who didn't see for a long time. I spent much time talk to Peter and we decided to do a travel together. The marriage ceremony was in the garden of a very beautiful house.which was in a small village called White River. The bride was really pretty, Carol came from Italy and she has dark hair. The Italian guests were very nice and they danced a lot in the party. The food was delicious, there was some typical food from Italy and I love it. At the end of the party, the people had drunk very much so we had problems to get a place in the cars. I took many photos, so I send a few of them with this letter. When I'll visit you, I carry more photos. See you, Ana

La puntuacin asignada por un equipo de correctores a esta redaccin es de 5 sobre 10 (2 en el apartado de Tarea y 3 en el apartado de Lengua). Tarea poco satisfactoria, omite un elemento de la consigna (no menciona el amigo mutuo) y los dems no los desarrolla demasiado; a veces requiere algn esfuerzo para entender. En cuanto a la lengua, hay bastante control aunque haya errores como la falta de un sujeto; falta el complemento del verbo enjoy; marcadores del discurso about the wedding y la organizacin del texto falla en algunos casos (I spent much time talk to Petertravel together).

Hello Greg!!! Where the fuck were you yesterday? ya bawbac? I don't know if you remember but there was a wedding in Manchester. Why didn't you come? You missed the best wedding you'll see in your whole life. You know David was getting married last nite and the name of the bride was Fiona. Oh man, she's gorgeous. We had to go from London to Manchester for the wedding cuz Fiona wanted to celebrate it in her village cuz her grannys are old and they cannot travel. The ceremony was in the council and after we went to a good restaurant for the dinner. We didn't enjoy very much with the most of the guests cuz all her cousins were stupid, we didn't connect with them, even her brothers, but we had a very good night cuz I was with all my friends and we sat in a different table very far from the family. The lunch was fantastic, I'll let you know what we ate. After we went to the best nightclub in town. Before the nightclub, David and Fiona made the first dance for all of us. It was very nice to see them dancing together. And after, my girlfriend started to throw up in the middle of the dancefloor. What a shame!! I was already very drunk but I had to drive her home and put her in bed. I decided to stay with her cuz I was tired as well. I hope to see you soon, mate!! And tell me why you didn't come??? David

La puntuacin asignada por un equipo de correctores a esta redaccin es de 7 sobre 10 (3 en el apartado de Tarea y 4 en el apartado de Lengua). Lleva a cabo la tarea de manera suficientemente satisfactoria aunque desarrolla los puntos de la consigna de manera desigual: por un lado hay demasiadas disgresiones (ha escrito ms de 250 palabras) y por otro omite un elemento de la consigna (el amigo comn). No requiere esfuerzo por parte del lector. En cuanto a lengua, demuestra bastante control con algunos fallos puntuales (council, enjoy + complement). En cuanto al uso de tacos, se puede entender que en este caso, entra en el registro informal entre dos amigos de mucha confianza.
