F. Never be afraid of listening to other travellers’ advice.
The lessons I learned from travelling
Lesson 1: ___A________
Before I went travelling for the first time, I worried about it. I was frightened that something
might go wrong. I soon learned not to worry. Here are some other lessons I learned.
Lesson 2: ____________
One of the first things travel taught me is that things won’t always go according to plan: buses
will break down, flights will be delayed, and maps will occasionally be difficult to read. These
problems made me more patient and helped me accept that I can’t control most things. They
also resulted in some exciting adventures – the woman in Marrakech, for example, who, when I
asked her for directions, invited me into her home for coffee.
When we’re traveling, our most memorable experiences are usually the result of something we
didn’t plan. We should continue to think like this when we get home from our travels – when
things don’t go to plan, we should enjoy the adventure.
Lesson 3: ____________

2
Growing up in Virginia, I rarely met people who were very different from me. That changed
when I moved to London. I soon found myself at a dinner party where every guest came from a
different country. You can learn a lot from listening to people from different places.
When I began travelling beyond Europe, I experienced many different cultures. I celebrated the
Hindu festival Diwali in India and families in Turkey invited me to stay in their homes. Now, in
my new hometown of San Francisco, whenever I pass a mosque or a temple, I’m happy that I
live in a multicultural city.
Lesson 4: ____________
When I’m travelling, I have an open heart and mind. I smile at people I pass on the street and
talk to people on the bus. I ask their name and learn a bit of their story. Now that I’m home, I
try to be as friendly as I am when I’m travelling.
Earlier this year, a young Asian man asked me for directions. I decided to start a conversation
with him. I learned his name was Chien Yu, and that he was from Taiwan. He told me stories
about growing up in his grandmother’s home, and taught me how to say thank you in his native
language. Even at home, we can have experiences and meet people. Thinking like a traveller,
when we’re at home, helps us understand the world better.

a possibility
How jobs have changed
Economics, politics and new technologies have changed many industries. We’ve chosen
three jobs to look at how they have changed.
The music industry
Musicians in the 1960s had two choices – form a band and play hundreds of concerts in
local town halls for very little money or try to persuade a record label to sign you. (0)
__D_________ Record companies don’t sign new bands on long contracts anymore, and
musicians have a lot more control over their careers. There is a lot they can do by
themselves. (1) ____________ And musicians can also use the internet to become
popular by uploading songs and videos, and talking to fans. Often, musicians release their
first album through small inexpensive distribution companies. One problem for young
musicians nowadays is that there aren’t as many places to play as there were in the 1960s.
That’s why musicians often play music in the street.
Journalism
From typewriters to Twitter, journalism has changed a lot over the past 25 years. In the
past, reporters didn’t have search engines like Google to find out information. (2)
____________ Today, journalists use Twitter to send live updates from a court case or
council meeting, and can write their stories at the same time on laptops, tablets or phones.
They don’t have to write notes, then return to their office to write up the story on a
typewriter. Everything is quicker and easier. One problem for reporters nowadays,
however, is that new technologies mean new demands. (3) ____________ Now, they
have to update websites, write Facebook pages and create video content as well.

7
Publishing
Before computers, editing a book was very different from today. Writers typed their
books on paper and sent them to publishing companies by post. Then editors used
different coloured pens to go through their writing and to change or correct what they
wrote. (4) ____________ Nowadays, digital technology means that writers and editors
work on books and articles on their computers. It’s good news for trees, and good news
for writers and editors who can delete and replace the things they write easily. One
problem for the publishing industry is that people don’t always pay for their books
nowadays. (5) ____________ Today, you can often find illegal downloads of books on
the internet.

READING
Read the following interview and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D to each
question.
Reporter: How long have you been a doctor?
Turner: Eight years.
Reporter: How did you get started?
Turner: I went to medical school for four years. Then, I practiced with another, more
experienced doctor named Clarissa Parker. Clarissa taught me how to see patients and
how to understand their problems. She also taught me how to give people shots!
Reporter: How do you stay calm on the job?
Turner: I use my training. I think back to the time I spent learning with Clarissa. I
remember how calm she was, even when things got chaotic. With so much going on at
once, you never know what will happen next in the emergency room.
Reporter: Are there any new tools that doctors use?
Turner: We use a stethoscope that allows us to listen to a person's heartbeat. We also use
special thread to close deep cuts. The thread disappears after two weeks. This means we
do not have to remove the thread after the cut has healed. It is already gone!
Reporter: Do you heal pets and other animals?
Turner: No, I do not. A veterinarian is a doctor that heals animals. I only heal people.
Reporter: Do you ever get nervous?
Turner: There is no time to be nervous. I have to think about what I have to do to help my
patients. If they are in pain, I want to make them feel better as soon as possible.
Reporter: What do you like best about being a doctor?
Turner: Helping people!
