Read the following report carefully, and then in your ANSWER BOOKLET answer all the questions that follow. Your answers should be based on the report. When developers released a statement that 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 <u>they</u> never seem to happen. We all have to seize the opportunity and realise that the hotel will not only give 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 which have been there for years. We have asked for such development for years and it was heartwarming to know that the developers have come up with a solution to help local people. 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. I was very surprised to hear that there are protesters 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 this is not true. We must remember that the hotel will solve many of the problems in our area, and I support it 100%. 1) Building a luxury new hotel will bring two opportunities to the area around the beach. Write down these two opportunities. (4 points) 2) The developers of the project have promised to make two changes in the area. Write them down. (2 points) 3) What did activists who are against the plan do the previous week? (2 points) 4) What has the writer of the report been accused of? (2 points) 5) Write down the sentence which states that the writer is entirely with building a new hotel and reminds us of the solutions it will present to the problems in the area. (2 points) 6) What does the underlined pronoun “they” refer to? (2 points) 7) Find a word in the report that means “causing feelings of happiness”. (2 points) 8) It is important to recognise bias to determine how much the writer’s presentation of the subject is affected. Suggest two tips for recognising bias in the news. (4 points)
