I. Read the passage and do the task that follows.
Interviews are not a perfect method of choosing the best people for jobs; however human beings like to
examine each other in this way. One of the many problems of selection as it is commonly practiced is that
the forms filled by applicants often fall to show people as they really are. This means that you can follow
all the best advice when completing your from and still find that you are unsuccessful at the next stage-
the interview. Similarly, in the rare cases where interviews are automatic, a candidate with an inadequate
form may do surprisingly well. Of course your form needs to show that you have confidence in your
ability to do the job, but don't try to turn yourself into someone else - a person you have to pretend to be
at the interview. Realism and honesty are the best approach.

PART D: SPEAKING
One of the most striking features of the present century is the progress of science and its effects on
almost every aspect of social life. Building on the foundation laid by the predecessors, the scientists of
today are carrying their investigation into ever-widening fields of knowledge.
Modern civilization depends largely on the scientist and inventor. We depend on the doctor who
seeks the cause and cure of disease, the chemist who analyses our food and purifies our water, the
entomologist who wages war on the insect pests, the engineer who conquers time and space, and a host of
other specialists who aid in the development of agriculture and industry.
The advance of science and technology has brought the diffeient parts of the world into closer touch with
one another than ever before. We are able to reach distant lands within a very short time.
