life in the United States These stories are entertaining, but they are not true You have to look beyond Hollywood movies to understand what college is really like Thanks to the movies, many people believe that college students party and socialize more than they study Movies almost never show students working hard in class or in the library Instead, movies show them eating, talking, hanging out, or dancing to loud music at wild parties While it is true that American students have the freedom to participate in activities, they also have academic responsibilities In order to succeed, they have to attend classes and study hard Another movie myth is that athletics is the only important extracurricular activity In fact, there is a wide variety of nonacademic activities on campus such as special clubs, service organizations, art, and theater programs This variety allows students to choose what interests them Even more important, after graduation, students’ résumés look better to employers if they list a few extracurricular activities Most students in the movies can easily afford higher education If only this were true! While it is true that some American college students are wealthy, most are from families with moderate incomes Up to 80% of them get some type of financial aid Students from middle and lower-income families often work part-time throughout their college years There is one thing that many college students have in common, but it is not something you will see in the movies They have parents who think higher education is a priority, a necessary and important part of their children's lives Movies about college life usually have characters that are extreme in some way: super athletic, super intelligent, super wealthy, super glamorous, etc Movies use these stereotypes, along with other myths of romance and adventure because audiences like going to movies that include these elements Of course, real college students are not like movie characters at all So the next time you want a taste of the college experience, do not go to the movies Look at some college websites or brochures instead Take a walk around your local college campus Visit a few classes True, you may not be able to see the same people or exciting action you will see in the movies, but you can be sure that there are plenty of academic adventures going on all around you!

However, one day I got the chance to try something a bit different - to go on a day trip to a working cattle ranch just north of Los Angeles That's what I'm going to blog about today Although the ranch was only about 50 kilometres from where I was staying with my uncle, it took ages to get there because the traffic out of the city was so bad Fortunately, our guide and coach driver, Maria, kept us entertained with her stories and jokes The Raskin Ranch is located in a beautiful little valley, and has been home for six generations of the Raskin family It has been a family business since 1895, providing an income from both the cattle and the guest house These guys know what they're doing! I fell in love with the place as soon as I arrived The people working there walk around in jeans and cowboy hats - not as Dart of a tourist show, but because that's the most practical way to dress for the work they do These are real cowboys, though it should be said that they prefer to call themselves cattle ranchers The first thing we did when we got there was eat lunch You won't be surprised to hear that there was one thing on the menu: steak, cooked on a barbecue I'm glad I'm not vegetarian, because I have never eaten a steak as good as that one In fact, every steak I've eaten since then has been a bit disappointing in comparison You'd think an afternoon and evening at a cattle ranch wouldn't give you a lot of time to experience the place, but it was incredible how much we crammed into a short visit First thing after lunch was a riding tour of the ranch Don't worry f like me, you haven't had much to do with horses in your life These animals are well-trained and calm - perfect for beginners and experienced riders alike 106 The reason Tim went to the cattle ranch was to find work 107 Tim was bored on the long journey to the ranch 108 The Raskin Cattle Ranch has been owned by the same fam ily for over 100 years 109 The workers on the ranch wear special clothes to entertain visitors 110 Everyone on the trip ate the same food for lunch 111 Tim was rather disappointed with the food he was given 112 Tim did more than he had expected to do on the ranch 113 Tim enjoyed the tour of the ranch because he was an experienced horse rider 114 Tim found his day on the ranch to be very educational 115 Tim is certain that he will return to Raskin Cattle Ranch one day 106 107 108 109 110 111 112 113 114 115 SECTION IV WRITITNG (4 points) Part 1: Questions 116 – 125 (1 points- 0.2/ each) Finish each of the following sentences in such a way that it means the same as the sentence printed before it 116 It’s impossible to cross the road because of the traffic The traffic _ 117 We regret to inform you that your application hasn’t been successful Much _ 118 The only thing that prevented the passing of the bill was the death of the Prime Minister 7 Had it not 119 Rita doesn’t realize how serious her husband’s operation is going to be Little _ 120 I’m sure you were driving too fast at that time You 121 It’s impossible for us not to laugh when he starts singing We can’t 122 Although Judy was severely disabled, she participated in many sports Despite her 123 You can use it as long as you like, and it won’t rear out No matter _ 124 Success depends on hard work The harder 125 She never seems to succeed, even though she works hard However Part 2: Questions 126 – 135 (1 points - 0.2/ each) Complete the second sentence so that it has a similar meaning to the first one, using the given word Do not change the given word 126 You can avoid tooth decay by brushing your teeth regularly (prevented) Tooth decay 127 Bill changed his ways when he came out of prison (leaf) Bill has _sine he came out of the prison 128 Don’t tell your colleagues anything about this (breathe) Don’t _to your colleagues 129 People claim that he was the best tennis player of his times (said) He _the best tennis player of his times 130 The film is similar to Shakespeare’s Hamlet in a number of ways (resemblance) The film _Shakespeare’s Hamlet 131 She wants nothing less than to get a job as a news reporter (set) She has _a job as a news reporter 132 I’m sure that her success made her parents feel wonderful (must) Her success _feel wonderful 133 I’ve arranged a trip around Europe next year (arrangement) I’ve _on a trip around Europe next year 134 “I’m sorry I have to leave so early” John said (apologized) John _leave so early 135 Our house is going to be painted by a local film (have) 8 We are going _by a local film 9
