Dolphin Trip
By Paul Hannan

My family have always been huge fans of New Zealand – my mum comes from the capital – so we
saved up and went for a holiday there. We started with a week in the city she grew up in. After that,
we toured around for a while before ending up by chance in Kaikoura, a small town on the coast.
The first evening it seemed a rather dull place, but the next day I remembered what I'd read about it
– that it was often possible to see dolphins and whales there! I’ll always think of Kaikoura as the
place where I finally achieved my lifelong ambition – to swim with wild dolphins.
My family and I set off on a dolphin trip on a cold, grey day with a number of other people on a
small boat. However, the sky soon turned blue, and we raced across the waves in the sunshine until
we finally reached the place where we were supposed to go swimming. To my surprise, this was
more than 40 km from land. I was quite cold by this time, and really starting to wonder why my
family had made me come all the way out there, when suddenly someone shouted ‘Dolphins!’.
All I could see were fins everywhere – there were more than a hundred dolphins, all swimming
towards our boat! Many of them were jumping around in the water as if they were asking us to
come and play. I put on my snorkel and jumped into the sea. Everywhere I looked, all I could see
was dolphins, swimming under me and round me. Then I remembered the guide had told us to make
sounds in the water to attract them. So I did and actually heard them making similar sounds, as if
they were trying to answer me. I even made eye contact with one dolphin, and watched it carefully
as I swam round in a circle. Amazingly, the dolphin almost followed me, but then changed its mind,
although it kept eye contact with me all the time. It neatly made me realize how intelligent and
beautiful these creatures are.
Then after an hour of swimming the guides called us to get back onto the boat. Although I had
enjoyed myself, I was keen to leave the water by then as I was very cold. As I got dry I noticed that
everyone on board was smiling and I realized what a very special moment we'd had.
I’ll never forget that experience, and Kaikoura will always have a special place in my heart.
PART 4
Questions 21-25
Read the text and questions below. For each question, choose A, B, C, or D..
One to watch!
Essay by Jessica Bourne, aged 14
I’m a big fan of films featuring the spy James Bond. I’ve got most of them in DVD. We’ve recently
bought Quantum of Solace, in which Daniel Craig plays the part of Bond. I don't know why the
film’s got that name – but it's a great movie, anyway.
All the actors who’ve played James Bond have been great, but Daniel Craig, who's made lots of
other films, plays the part better than any of them. Even though he doesn’t talk very much, I think
he’s the most perfect actor for the role. He even does a few of the more dangerous things in the film
himself, instead of getting someone else to do them. I did wonder sometimes whether he’d be clever
enough to defeat the bad people – but I’m not going to tell you the ending! The actress who stars
with Craig gives a fantastic performance too – I loved all the glamorous clothes she wore!
The director probably had a hard job making this Bond film as full of action as earlier ones. But the
excitement starts right at the beginning here, with a car chase along a mountain road, and plenty of
other thrilling scenes, too – Bond leaping off tall buildings and so on. Unfortunately I found the
story difficult to follow in places, and it also seemed to be over very quickly – it lasted under two
hours. I also felt there weren't as many jokes as in the old Bond films. And where was all the
ridiculous Bond equipment – the underwater car or exploding watch that everyone laughed at? This
is a more serious, darker Bond film, but I still really enjoyed it.
21. What is Jessica trying to do in her essay?
A. explain what first attracted her to Bond films
B. tell readers about the Bond DVDs she owns
C. give a balanced view of a Bond film she has seen
D. describe how Daniel Craig got the part of James Bond

22. What can a reader find out from Jessica’s essay?

A. whether Quantum of Solace is her favorite Bond film
B. what other films Daniel Craig has made
C. which other actors have played James Bond
D. whether she thinks Daniel Craig is the best James Bond

23. What does Jessica tell us about Craig in the new Bond film?
A. He performs some of the action scenes.
B. He wears some stylish clothes.
C. He is given a lot of lines to say.
D. He looks strong and fit enough to fight the criminals.

24. What is one problem with the film, according to Jessica?

A. It seems a bit too long.
B. It’s sometimes hard to understand what’s happening.
C. It has too much silly technology in it.
D. It has jokes that aren’t very funny.

25. Which of these might appear in a magazine review of the new Bond film?
A. It’s full of excitement, with Bond jumping across rooftops, so don’t be disappointed by the
slow start.
B. The director wanted to move away from the last Bond film and include a bit less action.
C. I’m not sure the title tells you much … but be prepared to watch a rather different kind of
Bond movie.
D. Daniel Craig performed well as James Bond, but the main female star was disappointing.
