NEW HOTEL IS JUST WHAT THE AREA NEEDS

When developers released a statement that 1-they were going to build a luxury new
hotel at the local beach, everyone in the town was very excited. There have been
talks for years about opportunities for new developments, but 2-they never seem to
happen.
 Not only will the hotel need local workers but there are sure to be other jobs in
tourism when the hotel guests start to arrive.We all have to seize the opportunity and
realise that the hotel will not only give 3-us work, but offer improvements to the
whole area around the beach. The developers have promised a new road with wide
pavements to and from the beach and a replacement of the sad old beach restaurants
4-which have been there for years. We have asked for such development for years
and I’m so happy that the developers have come up with a solution to help local
people.
I was very surprised to hear that there are protesters 5-who are against the plan. Just
last week, some activists tried to stop lorries from entering the beach to start building
work, and I reported the incident to the police. Everyone has the right to protest, but
such obstruction is illegal. There has even been an accusation that I am working to
promote the hotel company, but 6-this is not true. We must remember that the hotel
will solve many of the problems in our area, and I support 7-it 100%.

1. According to the text, what opportunities may the development bring?

2. The text mentioned several improvements besides the hotel. Mention two of
them.
3. Quote the sentence showing the author’s response to the accusations made
against them.
4. What do the underlined pronouns refer to?

Answer Key:

1. A new luxury hotel will bring work and other improvements to the area
around the beach.
2. 1- A new road with wide pavements to and from the beach. 2- A
replacement of the sad old beach restaurants which have been there for
years.

3. “There has even been an accusation that I am working to promote the hotel
company, but this is not true.”

2. they : opportunities for new developments
3. us : local people

7. it : the hotel

NEW HOTEL, BUT NO NEW HOPE FOR LOCALS

When 1-we first received information about a new hotel at our local beach, many
local people were pleased and thought that the development could give us job
security. But when I put in a request to find out more about the developers on the
internet, I quickly changed my mind. It is very clear that the hotel is an international
company and in all 2-its branches, it employs an international staff. It also uses the
same building contractors for all its hotels, and none of 3-them are from our area.

In addition, the developers plan to replace the traditional restaurants 4-which have
been on the beach for years with new, upmarket restaurants, also with 5-their own
staff. These restaurants will be too expensive for most people in our neighbourhood.
I am also sure that locals 6-who work at the old restaurants will probably lose 7-
their jobs.

My investigation also revealed a plan to build several new roads to the beach 8-
which will affect bird and animal life in a sensitive nature area. I am not an activist
and I refute the allegation that I tried to obstruct building work last week. However,
people should have the freedom to protest about things 9-they do not agree with. I
plan to join the other protesters 10-who want a suspension of the building work until
we know exactly how many jobs will go to local people. Tension will also continue
until the plans for new roads are moved away from the sensitive nature areas.

1. The text mentioned several reasons that the development seems unlikely to
benefit local people. Mention two of them.
2. The text mentioned several demands by the protesters. Mention two of them.
3. Quote the sentence referring to environmental concerns about the new roads.
 4. Quote the sentence describing the developers’ hiring practices.
5. What do the underlined pronouns refer to?

1. Jobs won’t go to local people. The new road will affect bird and animal life.
2. They want a suspension of the building work until they know how many
jobs will go to local people.
3. “New roads to the beach which will affect bird and animal life in a sensitive
nature area.”

for all its hotels.”

Against the Radio

By: Reem

The last time 1-I visited my grandfather, he was singing along to the old radio 2-he
still has in the corner of his kitchen. 3-It struck me that I hadn’t intentionally sat
down and listened to the radio for as long as I could remember. None of us ever
listens to the radio, unless we happen to hear it at our grandparents’ or when passing
a building site! When I asked my friends about 4-their listening habits the following
weekend, they all confirmed the same thing.
As a source of music and information, it seems that radio is out of date in the eyes
(or more appropriately, the ears) of the digital generation. Statistics support 5-this
anecdotal evidence. 6-They reveal that we are abandoning radio in huge numbers.
Major radio stations seem to be satisfied with keeping 7-their older audience happy.
Conversely, streaming services now account for over 50% of millennials’ daily
listening. 8-It should come as no surprise that those aged 15 to 19 do nearly half 10-
their listening on smartphones. Never has it been easier to choose your own music,
or to take 11-it with you wherever you go. In fact, I have to wonder why anyone
would want to listen to someone else’s selection when it’s so easy to create your
own playlists.If you do this, you never have to listen to music you don’t like. Plus,
if you pay for your streaming service, you also eliminate the annoying adverts 12-
that invade your headspace constantly on many commercial stations.

If I’m relaxing, I usually choose to watch rather than listen. This means I look online,
and never check the radio. If I’m working, the last thing I want is an enthusiastic DJ
talking nonsense, followed by a song I don’t like, and then another three minutes of
boring adverts. No, I’m afraid I can only conclude that radio is practically dead and
gone.

1. According to Reem, what is the main reason why young people seldom listen
to the radio nowadays?
2. According to Reem, how have streaming services changed the way young
people listen to music?
3. According to Reem, what role do smartphones play in music listening habits
among teenagers?
4. Reem mentioned several reasons why streaming is preferred over radio.
Mention them.
5. Quote the sentence that shows Reem’s surprise at not having listened to the
radio for a long time.
6. Quote the sentence that expresses Reem’s negative view of radio DJs and
advertisements.
7. What do the underlined pronouns refer to?

Answer Key
1. Because of the popularity of streaming services.
 2. Streaming services allow people to choose their own music and take it with
them wherever they go.
3. Teenagers aged 15 to 19 do nearly half their listening on smartphones, which
leads them to abandon radio stations.
4. 1-People can create their own playlists 2- they never have to listen to music
they don’t like,” 3- and if they pay, they eliminate the annoying adverts. 4-
They can listen to their music wherever they go.

For the Radio

By: Manal

The fact that anyone under the age of 40 would tune in at all is a total enigma to me.
Just a few minutes ago, the digital receiver in the living room switched itself off
automatically. After being plunged into silence, 1-I realised that as usual, I’d been
half-listening to the radio for the last eight hours.

This happens a lot in our house. 2-My dad switches the news on first thing in the
morning and the station ends up playing all day long. To be honest, I enjoy the noise
and music: home wouldn’t be home without 3-it.

Radio has been around forever and despite recent allegations in printed media that
4-it is dying, there is evidence to suggest it is very much alive. According to research,
89% of people over the age of 15 listened to the radio every week in 2022.

The medium is also moving with the times and over half of all listeners now tune in
digitally, whether at home, in the car or on the move. You can even ‘watch’ your
favourite radio shows via live feeds online.

Sure, there are streaming services and with them access to more music than you
could possibly listen to in a lifetime. While I don’t claim to speak for all young
people, I’m quietly confident that most of us don’t want to have to choose our own
music all the time. 5-This is especially true when we are busy studying, exercising,
cooking or whatever else we do with music in the background.

In fact, radio is a great way to discover new songs, artists and even styles of music
that you might never think to search for yourself. Let’s not forget that radio is also
much more than just music. There’s news, sports, discussion, interviews, factual
shows and a whole lot more besides. Radio is here to stay so turn on, tune in, and
listen up.

1. Quote the sentence that shows Manal was surprised when the radio turned
off.
2. Manal mentioned several ways people can now access radio shows.
Mention them.
3. Manal mentioned several types of content that radio offers besides music.
Mention them.
4. Manal mentioned several advantages of listening to the radio. What are
three of them?
