They are being replaced by new apartments in towers serviced by high-speed elevators. Shanty town residents will be resettled in smaller apartments in separate buildings on part of the cleared land. With India’s current economic boom, incomes are going up and demand for housing in a Mumbai suburb is rising fast. About 8 million people live in the shanty towns of greater Mumbai, more than the population of Switzerland. (adapted from Bloomberg, Jan 2010) Write about:

This is what she had to say about the experience: ‘I admit I was tentative when we got to the jumping platform, but I 2was so determined to do something extreme, you know? Anyway, I was fourth in line and waiting for my turn to jump was difficult because the others were making me nervous. One girl decided that she wasn’t going to jump. 3At the last possible moment, she climbed back down. 4That was an anxious moment and it got to my nerves a little. I wish I could tell you I was cool when my turn came, but I really wasn’t. I mean, forget 5the beautiful vista and all that, I could barely hear the monitor’s advice, I was so scared. “Just lean away from the bridge and let gravity take you.” she said. Can you imagine how hard it is to actually 6let your body tumble into the void? I don’t know where I got the nerve to do it, but I did. And then, whoosh… I was freefalling and screaming my head off! At the end of the fall the bungee actually pulls you back up, you know, and that’s when I felt 7the weightlessness. That was the best part.

Having been deprived of its gardeners, nannies, cooks, maids, construction crews and farm workers, nothing functions normally in the state. With one third of the population having mysteriously been transported elsewhere, things go from bad to worse. Rubbish soon piles up on the streets which once seemed to have been cleaned with a toothbrush. In just a few weeks, California seems to have stopped functioning altogether. Returning to the way things used to be and recovering the Latino workforce becomes the only priority. The general mood is that what seems to have been taken away is the “California Dream” itself. Even the marketing of the film A Day Without a Mexican stirred some controversy. Some immigrant rights groups appeared to have been offended by promotional billboards reading "On May 14th, there will be no Mexicans in California".

However, with practice and careful attention to a few tips, anyone can give an effective presentation. So 1[short answer gap], giving you a few tips about planning a presentation, then I’ll discuss actually giving one. 2[short answer gap], you need to get your timing down because you do not want to feel rushed. It’s good practice to prepare and rehearse for no more than 75 per cent of the time you're given to speak. No one will get upset if you finish early, but ending late is a sign of disrespect for the audience. 3[short answer gap] to rehearse for time is that it helps you think about your ‘must know’ information. If you run long, rewrite your draft to cut everything that isn’t directly relevant. That will also help your listeners focus on your message. Is everything clear so far? Good. Then let’s talk about giving the presentation now.

4[short answer gap], I would say avoid reading from a script because that puts everyone to sleep. Instead use bullet points and write them at the top of the page so you don’t have to look down too much as you speak. Also, stage fright is a negative form of excitement, so try to reverse the flow of energy by breathing deeply and by thinking about how successful your presentation is going to be. 5[short answer gap] is that it will help your confidence and that carries over to the audience. If your voice is expressive and your gestures animated, you will appear passionate and sincere. Finally, anticipate questions because your answers may be even more convincing than your presentation. short answer gap]

9 b 10 b C A day without a Mexican (2004) is a dark comedy which provides a satirical commentary on American society. As the plot goes, California awakes one morning to find its entire Mexican and Latino population gone. Having been deprived of its gardeners, nannies, cooks, maids, construction crews and farm workers, nothing functions normally in the state. With one third of the population having mysteriously been transported elsewhere, things go from bad to worse. Rubbish soon piles up on the streets which once seemed to have been cleaned with a toothbrush. In just a few weeks, California seems to have stopped functioning altogether. Returning to the way things used to be and recovering the Latino workforce becomes the only priority. The general mood is that what seems to have been taken away is the “California Dream” itself. Even the marketing of the film A Day Without a Mexican stirred some controversy. Some immigrant rights groups appeared to have been offended by promotional billboards reading "On May 14th, there will be no Mexicans in California". They believed it was a genuine anti-immigration slogan.

E 1 2 3 4 5 F ‘Very few students feel natural or even comfortable in front of an audience. However, with practice and careful attention to a few tips, anyone can give an effective presentation. So 1I’ll start by giving you a few tips about planning a presentation, then I’ll discuss actually giving one. 2First of all, you need to get your timing down because you do not want to feel rushed. It’s good practice to prepare and rehearse for no more than 75 per cent of the time you're given to speak. No one will get upset if you finish early, but ending late is a sign of disrespect for the audience. 3Another reason it’s important to rehearse for time is that it helps you think about your ‘must know’ information. If you run long, rewrite your draft to cut everything that isn’t directly relevant. That will also help your listeners focus on your message. Is everything clear so far? Good. Then let’s talk about giving the presentation now. 4To those of you who use notes, I would say avoid reading from a script because that puts everyone to sleep. Instead use bullet points and write them at the top of the page so you don’t have to look down too much as you speak. Also, Stage fright is a negative form of excitement, so try to reverse the flow of energy by breathing deeply and by thinking about how successful your presentation is going to be.

5Again the reason I’m saying that is that it will help your confidence and that carries over to the audience. If your voice is expressive and your gestures animated, you will appear passionate and sincere. Finally, anticipate questions because your answers may be even more convincing than your presentation. Remember to paraphrase the questions before answering them, and maintain eye contact first with the person who asked you the question, and then with the rest of the audience so they can feel involved. 6So let’s wrap up with a quick summary. Your presentation will go well if you are prepared and well-rehearsed, use notes effectively and stay focused on your audience. I’ll be happy to take your questions now.’ G This writing assignment is worth 10 points.

F 1 She finds a brand new, expensive looking bathroom scale! Miscues and misunderstandings between husband and wife are the source of many jokes. Here, the husband chooses to take his wife’s meaning literally and gets her precisely what she asked for, just not a fast car. The joke also implies that the wife weighs 200 pounds (or more). 2 The last sentence serves as a reminder that the husband is none the wiser in the end. Joking about a woman’s weight is always taboo and the joke teller gets out of trouble by making the husband pay the ultimate price. 3 Students’ own answers.
