Artificial intelligence has long been the holy

of 2018 and promises to continue into the new

V. In the following text, six sentences have
been removed. Choose, from the sentences (A- G), the one which fits each gap
(1-6). Remember, there is one extra part you do not need to use. (1.5 pts)
A. These protects both the employer and the
employee and mean that there is certainty about those terms and conditions
B. This is the extent to which you can profit
from the investment you have made in your business C. A buyer will want to see
vast quantities of information and documentation on the business
D. The most frequent example of this is when
significant pieces of machinery and equipment are subject to financing
arrangements and the consent of the financier is necessary
E. They should be short and simple, and full
agreement should be negotiated with the buyer as soon as possible.
F. This can be difficult, though, and if staff
find out about the sale it can unsettle them
G. You do not want a potential buyer using
this confidential information either in the course of negotiations or after
negotiations have broken down.
If you plan to sell your business, be careful.
They are an enormous number of traps awaiting the inexperienced seller. Before
giving out any information about the business to any potential purchaser, make
sure I have signed a confidentiality undertaking- that is, a document promising
not to make confidential information public. (1) ________. Many confidentiality
letters, however, have no legal value, so taking appropriate advice is
recommended.
You should also consider your strategy for informing
your staff of the proposed sale. Most
3
business owners want to keep the sale secret
from their employees until the deal has been completed - or at least until
negotiations are fairly advanced. (2) In addition, you will need to produce a
considerable amount of information about the business and is running; for this
you will require the cooperation of senior management, who will therefore need
to be informed of the sale.
When corresponding with a potential purchaser,
mark everything "Subject to Contract". Contracts can be made
accidentally and you do not want to be committed until a formal contract,
including all of the relevant terms, has been negotiated and signed. To avoid
this, many people negotiate a summary document, which briefly sets out the main
conditions of the sale. These documents can be useful because potential area of
dispute or disagreement can be seen in advance. (3)
Do remember
however that a summary rarely deals with all
the points for discussion, which are going to arise in the course of
negotiations.

Make sure all the paperwork is in order. (4)
It is vital therefore that you ensure all
insurance policies bank statements, finance documents, and employment, supplier
and customer contracts are well ordered and up-to-date. This will save everyone
a lot of time.
In addition, make sure that all staff have
up-to-date contracts of employment. An employer must, by law, issue statements
of terms of employment to all employees within two months of their starting
work. (5)
Even if you fail to issue them, the buyer will still expect you to be able to identify with certainty what the terms and conditions are. The absence of written contracts makes that much more difficult.
You may also need the approval of people
entirely external to the business for the sale to take place. (6)
Getting such a agreement generally takes time,
so you will need to move quickly if
a buyer wants it done before completing the
deal.

VI. Read the passage and CIRCLE the letter A,
B, C or D to indicate the correct word or phrase that best fits each of the
numbered blanks from 1 to 8. (2.0 pts)
Interpreting the feelings of other people is
not always easy, as we know, and we rely as much on what they seem to be
telling us, as on the (1) words they say. Facial expression and tone of voice
are obvious ways of showing our (2)

unconsciously express views that we are trying to hide. The art of being tactful
lies in (3) these signals, realizing what the other person is trying to say,
and acting so that they are not embarrassed in any way. For example, we may
understand they are (4)
reluctant to answer our question, and
so we stop pressing them. Body movements in
general may also indicate feelings, and interviewers often pay particular
attention to the way a candidate for a job walks into the room and sits down.
However, it is not difficult to present the right kind of appearance, while
what many employers want to know relates to the candidate's character (5)
and psychological stability. This raises the

question of whether job candidates should be
asked to complete psychological tests, and the further problem of whether such
tests actually produce reliable results. For many people, being asked to take
part in such a test would be an objectionable (7)

VII. Read an article about two brothers who
have written a book. For questions 1-8, CIRCLE the letter A, B, C or D which
you think fits best according to the text. (2.0 pts)
TAKE TWO BROTHERS
Rebecca Pearson meets the team behind a lively
new thriller.
What were you doing at the age of 11? Playing
football? Possibly. Watching TV? Probably. Working on a novel as well?
Unlikely- unless you're Jamie Webb, author of the brilliant new 272-page novel
The Inventors. He wasn't on his own, however, because he co-authored The
Inventors with his much older brother, Alexander Gordon Smith, who is in his
twenties.
We had arranged to meet in a café and, within
minutes of arriving, I spot the brothers easily as they are both wearing
matching black Inventors promotional T-shirts. The queue for drinks is huge,
but, despite the fact that I am ten minutes early, they have already bought me
a selection of drinks to save me joining the line. New to the whole publicity
business, they admit they're a bit nervous about the interview. Let's start by
talking about the book, then, I suggest.
The Inventors is an exciting tale about two best friends, who have a passion for creating weird and wonderful machines. "I woke up with the idea in my head one morning, "says Smith," and I just ran round to tell Jamie. Then, from the word go there was no question of me doing it by myself- it developed so well between us. One of us would suggest something and then the other one would take it and develop it. Often we would talk for hours before we actually wrote anything down. If I'd done it by myself, it wouldn't be anywhere near what it is".
It emerges that Webb is a much better inventor
than Smith. Certainly some of the creations in the book are very vivid, far
more so than in comparable novels. You certainly wouldn't put it past Webb to
become an engineering mastermind; as well as the writing, he's also keen on
acting and Tae Kwon Do, but says he doesn't want to put himself into one
artistic box just yet.
Smith and Webb have every sympathy for writers
trying to get a foot in the door and it was a stroke of luck that led to the
publication of The Inventors. The brothers had written the first three chapters
of the book with no idea what to do with it when Webb spotted the Wow Factor
competition, which is run by the publisher Faber and the bookshop Waterstone's.
"It was on the last day when Jamie noticed it," says Smith, "and
so we got our entry in just in time, and then we didn't think anything more of
it. We were on the shortlist: we didn't win but Faber ended up taking the book
on". And that was their big break because since then they've gone from
strength to strength.
So, I ask, if the book goes on to become as
successful as the Harry Potter books, might Webb take all the credit? They both
laugh. "If we ever make millions," Smith points out, "maybe we
will end up arguing over that as we both know that if Jamie hadn't sent the
first three chapters in, it wouldn't have been published. But then we both know
I had the original idea."
Smith has advice for people who want to write
but don't know how. "Remember that everything has a story, and as a writer
it's up to you to imagine what that story is. Look at what's happening around
you, say next time you're walking down the street, and think of ways this could
be used in a book. Also, don't put too much pressure on yourself- writing takes
time, so don't be disheartened if you don't write a masterpiece straight
away". He says that when he's not writing, he's often trying to unravel a
tricky plot in his head or invent a new character or machine. "That's the
best thing about being a writer- you can spend all your time daydreaming and
call it work!"
Once I stop the recording, the brothers are
visibly relieved, and ask if they have done OK. They then invite me to their
launch party in a few days' time. Grinning broadly at each other and shaking
their heads, they say they still wonder if they're dreaming. Are they the
nicest authors in the business? Probably. And that's no invention.
