Sample answer

Many young p"opl" .u.rnot wait to own their own flatand they move from their parental home as soon asthey can, even if it means to live alone. Howeve4 theprice of flats is rising greatly and the size of flats isreducing, so is it reaily worth living alone than withyour parents?It cannot be denied that living alone gives you privacyand independence. There is no one to tell you what todo and you can go in and out when you want. parentsstill try to control your life, despite of the fact thatyou are more than twenty years old, so there is a bigadvantage to breaking up with them and having yourown space.Neverlheless, it is my belief that there are moreadvantages to keeping on living with them. The firstpoint to bear in mind is that it is much cheaper: youmay pay some rent to your parents but it is never asexpensive as paying a mongage or renting a flat onyour own. Related with this is the fact of being able tosave money while you live with them, so that one davit will be easier to buy your flat.A further point is that always your meals are cookedfor you, and your washing and ironing can bedone too. Ifyou live alone, you do not always eathealthily and you spend a large amount of time doinghousework and shopping.To conclude, it is tr-ue that living with your parents canput a great strain on your relationship with them, butthere are more advantages than disadvantages.

Examiner's commentContent: The writing successfully addresses the differentparts of the question. The task is well fulfilled andcertainly analytical rather than merely descriptive.Organization and cohesion: The writing is wellorganized and introduces similarities and differences inan appropriate and logical manner. There is clever useof paragraphing, each paragraph being clearly aboutsomething different.Accuracy: There are a number of mistakes which suggesta lack of control: 'which coming' and 'more great'.Range: There is a range of tense and vocabulary usage,including some impressive language such as 'Commonto both films is . ..' . However, this ambition is not alwayssuccessful 'a diamond crown that functionates as anenonnous laser.'Register: The register is appropriately semi-formal,as befits an arls reew in a newspaper.

Sample answerThe exciting world of spies is beautifully reppresentedby James Bond films. In Sean Connery's'Dr No', JamesBond fights against a scientist who utilises atomicenergy for the motive of diverling rockets and missiles.In Pierce Brosnan's last edition'Die another day', theenemy holds a powerfull weapon, a satellite with adiamond crown that functionates as an enormous laser.Common to both films is the way James Bond savesthe world from terrible disasters. Another similarity isthe exotic and atractive settings. 'Dr No'takes place inappealling crystal water beaches of Jamaica and'Dieanother day' moves from picturesque'La Habana' tothe very impresive views of Iceland. But the more greatsimilarity of all, made in propurse of course, is thatin both films there is a comparable scene of UrsulaAndress in the first one and Halle Ber-ry in the secondone, which coming out of the water dressed in exactlythe same bikini.What sets one film apart from the other is the gapof time between both of them. Old James Bondwas sciovinist and even a bit racist instead pierceBrosnan's Bond treats Halle Berri as an equal and aswell behaves it could be said as a perfect gentleman.It is also noticeable in respect of the gadgets they use,there is no comparasion between the Giger Counter (tomeasure radioactivity) used by Sean Connery and theinvisible car of Pierce.Both films are action-packed and compelling, whichmakes the perfect choice for a divefiing evening'sviewing, howeve4 if you prefer a visually appeallingexperience, but I have to say maybe less plausible also,then'Die another day' is the film for you.Bv Donatella Fiore

I: In what way?D: Working in close collaboration with others is anintegral part of this bu-siness - thati always been clearto me * but I came to realize that you can't rely on otherpeople to make things work. It's a tough old world andultimately it's down to you - it's a question of attitudeThings onl) happen if you let them - and if you only seegre), skies and gloomlz dalys ahead. that! what ),ou'll get.I: So the whole thing focused you for your future withAdvert Eyes.D: Thatt right, I did a lot of growing up with Trenton.I: Well, tell us how you met each othe6 Sandra.S: We were introduced at a party by a mutuai friend. Iremember I was very wary of David at first. He alreadyhad quite a reputation in the business - his past workspoke for itself. And he looked so serious, so apparentlyindifferent to everything. He mentioned some vague ideahe had for setting up a business, something to do withadvertising - but that wasn't what struck me most. Iiust couldn't get over how animated. how oassionate hebecame when he talked about - well. everlthing reall). Itwas difficult not to be carried along by his words.I: So when he asked you to join him, you had nohesitation in accepting?D: Well, it was actually Sandra who asked me. And Iwas the one who had no hesitation. My colleagues atTrenton had warned me against going into business witha complete unknown - they said it was too much of agamble. But when I met Sandra, it was like looking intoa mirror. Here at last was someone on m)' wavelength.someone who looked at life through the same cameralens. And anyway, I felt it was time to do somethinsdifferent, to live a little dangerously.I: And has it been? Dangerous, I mean.D: Anything but. Funnily enough, though, it's turnedout that we do have quite a lot of differences, but thesehave all been to our advantage. Sandra, for example, hasmuch more of a business brain than I do.I: Is that right, Sandra?S: Well, yes, it seems to be a hidden talent of mine.But I've had to learn the hard way. Raising money, forexample, was an absolute nightmare - we just couldn'tseem to get the finance.I: That must have been quite disheartening.S: Well, no, you can't afford to let things like that getyou down. It was no good getting upset about it;throwing a tantrum in a bank managert office is nevera good idea - you might need to go back there one day.No, I just couldn't work out what the problem was. givenour experience and the way the advertising market wasshaping up at the time. We were just a small concern,asking for a small amount of money.I:-But you obviously got the money.S: Yes, I met an investor who understood what we wereabout - and then, once we'd made a couple of ads,money was easier to come by.

Sandra, if I could startwith you. What were you doing before you set up inpartnership with David and what made you change?S: Well, I was directing - er, drama mosflV - for a smallsatellite TV company. It was an interesting, experimentaltime for me - they were a young, dynamic group andseemed to be going places. But these were troubled timesfor the business in general and they just werent makingenough money. An,'way, things weren't looking too goodfor me; as I'd been the last to arrive, I reckoned I'dprobably be the first to have to leave.I: So you jumped before you were pushed, so to speak.S: That's right, and that was a great shame, because I'dnever felt so comfortable working in a team as I did withlhat group ol people.I: David, you had a similar background, didn't you?D: Yes, I'd also made a name for myself directing TVdrama, but with the much larger Trenton TV. I leftthem because they were moving in a different directionto where I wanted to go. But the experience provedinvaluable for the future - I can see that now.

I: David, how does, er advertising work compare with TVdrama? Is it very different.D: Well, for a stafi theret more money around than fornormal TV work, and that can be very liberating. But themarkett understanding of quality may not be the sameas yours and you.find your creativity stifled.Yes, it's our own company, and it may seem a creativebusiness to an outsider. But an advert is not )our ownbaby in the same wa] that a TV drama might be. Thereare too man)' people who have a sa) in what you do andwhat goes into the advert.S: Yes, I'd go along with that, although for me, running abusiness can be incredibly creative.I: So what does the future hold for Advert Eyes. Whatare your plans for the company?S: Well, we can't really say too much at the moment.It's not that we're not willing to, itt just that we're notentirel] certain how things will work out ourselves.D: That's right. The normal thing might be to look atsome type of long-term growth for the business, but atthe moment we're concentrating on consolidating ourposition, rather than branching out. Who knows whatthe future will bring?I: Sandra, David, the very best of luck for the future.There we must leave it. Thank you.S and D: Thank you.
