There are two fields next to the school. One of the fields is used for hockey. The other field is used for football and rugby. There is a building between the fields. Students can change into their sports’ clothes here, and then have some shacks after the game. The school building is very old, so it doesn’t have any room for any indoor activities. However, they have just started to build a new swimming pool next door. Brighton School Brighton School is in the centre of the city and doesn’t have any se fields next to the school. The only open space inside the building is the school hall. This means they can only have badminton there. However, the school does have two sports fields, but they are outside the city, so the students can only get there by bus. Every week, on Wednesday, the school takes the football teams to the fields by bus. The school doesn’t have a rugby team, but they want to create one. There is a lovely indoor sports area at South Hills School. The school is in a quiet part of town. Students can play tennis indoors and there is a big hall where basketball can also be played. When there isn’t a basketball game, they can set up the hall for bad- minton or volleyball. The school doesn’t have any fields so they can’t offer football or rugby but, after spring, they take students on a special trip to the coast, which is about 50 miles away. Some students go sailing and others prefer to go surfing.PART 3 |Questions 14-18 For each question, choose the correct answer. My home city, London, is always full of traffic and often, in the centre of the city, the traffic is not moving, This makes it very difficult for our parents to drive us to school. London isa very old city and the streets are often small which means it can also be difficult for ambulances, school buses and police cars to get through. Many people in London don’t drive to work because it takes a very long time. Most people choose to travel by train, underground or tram because they are much quicker. If people are travelling from outside of London, they often have to catch a train to one of the big stations and then go by underground to their office. It can be very expensive but with the traffic problems, it’s the only and the quickest way. Our city council has been trying to improve the traffic but there are still too many cars. A few years ago, they stopped lorries going into the centre between 8am and 6pm. This helped a little bit, but not enough. They then made every car driver pay to drive in London between 8,30am and 6pm. This didn’t make the traffic better because unfortunately people paid to drive in London and there was still the same number of cars as before. How can they change this problem? They want to stop all cars going into the centre except for buses and taxis. Many people think this is a very bad idea and will make travel around London worse. Only time will tell. 14, Why is it difficult for school buses to move in London? A. They have to pay during the day. B, They can’t get past other cars. C. They can’t drive through the centre, 15.
