SECTION 2 This Section contains three texts. Read the three texts and f ollow the directions for each.

Text One Read the following newspaper article and then answer the questions

A TAIWANESE student has died after falling from the top floor of a student hostel in north Birmingham. The accident happened on Thursday evening in the residential area of the university.

by Stephen Slater According to the coroner, who carried out the post-mortem at University College Hospital, Birmingham, Kim Jung Chan, 27, died of multiple injuries caused by the fall. He was taken to the hospital immediately after the accident but died on Friday morning. Police have spoken to other residents of the 120 room student block and do not regard the incident as suspicious. Chan, a married man with 2 children, was half-way through an eight week pre-sessional English course at the Language Centre of University College, Birmingham. His plans were to remain at the university to study for a Masters degree in the agricultural science. The college administrator, Dr. Huggins, said: “It is true that many of our overseas students experience difficulties adapting to life in Birmingham but we have trained counselors to help make the adjustment easier. In the case of Chan, this is a total shock. I don’t know if his death had anything to do with any problems he may have had in Britain. We will have to wait for the verdict of the inquest before deciding whether we need to give closer supervision in the future.” The inquest has been adjourned until the second week in October.

If you need to travel within a week of booking, you must pay by cash, card or bankers cheque. Book, pay and receive your tickets in a matter of hours. There is a charge for this service. Otherwise, if the airline allows it, you can pick the ticket up at the airport when you check in. RESTRICTIONS

You may not want the cheapest fare to Latin America.

Most airlines offer between 25% and 50% discounts off the fares shown here to children while infants travel for 10% of the full IATA fare (usually between $100 and $250). Please ring us with your requests.

Part Three You are staying in Antigua, Guatemala. A friend from Mexico has written to you to tell you that she would like to visit you for a few days in Antigua. Read your friend’s letter carefully and find the answers to her questions by reading the advertisement below. Then write a reply to your friend. Write about 150 words.

Hi! I am thinking of coming down to see you in Antigua! Won’t that be wonderful? But I only have about 5 days, and would really like to do as much as possible. You know that I like outdoor activities and exercise - and a little culture, but not too much! Will there be things that we can do together - during the day and in the evening? Is Antigua very expensive? Will it cost a lot to do any special tours and activities? And, if we want to do a tour away from Antigua for one day, is there anywhere we can go, by car or by bus? Lots of questions, I’m afraid. Do write and let me know your suggestions. And see you soon! Patricia
