Read the four texts below. There are ten questions about the texts. Mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate which text tells you the answer to the questions from 1 to 10.

A My French teacher

Choosing just one person who has had a major influence on my life is practically impossible! There have been people at all stages of my life who I have both admired and been motivated by for different reasons. However, if I have to mention just one it would have to be my French teacher at secondary school. After all, it’s because of her that I took a particular career path and ended up where I am today. Her passion and enthusiasm for the subject touched everyone in the class and I knew from the very first moment she started teaching that languages were going to figure somewhere in my life. It’s quite scary really, to see how significant a teacher’s influence can be. He or she can bring a subject alive for the students – or totally kill it off! Miss Winters was with us only for a term but a lot of her passion for languages rubbed off on me and for that I will always be grateful.

My big sister Inevitably, I have to say – my older sister, Ruby. I say ‘inevitably’ because from the moment I could walk I absolutely worshipped her! She was my idol. As far as I was concerned Ruby was perfect and I used to copy her every move. Her favourite colour was my favourite colour – her favourite food was mine too. Even into our teenage years I followed her taste in clothes, music, and boys! Now, looking back I think what I admire most about her was her patience with me. I must have been a complete pain but she never lost her temper. She gave up a lot of her time to help me with school work and she would regularly sit down with me and talk through any problems I had. Back then I copied her because I thought she was beautiful and clever and I wanted to be just like her but now I understand that in fact her influence also went a lot deeper. I hope I’ve developed into a caring, patient person and if so, then I certainly learned it from her.

My best friend When you get into real trouble and think there’s no way out, the last person you want to talk to is your family. You feel that you’ve let them all down. I’d got into a bad state. I was into drugs and I was going round with the wrong people when my best friend realised what was happening and persuaded me to get out. It can’t have been easy – I wasn’t listening to anyone at the time. But he stayed with it and refused to abandon me. And in the end he talked me into getting counselling and the people I spoke to really helped me turn my life around. Without him my life would have been completely different – I might not even be here at all. Boyd helped me see life in a different way and because of him I gave up my job in insurance and retrained to be a counsellor so that I could help other young people.

C A character in a film

Without doubt, the person who has had the greatest influence on my life wasn’t a real living person at all – but a character in a film! I was a very shy ten year old boy when I first saw Billy Elliot on the big screen. I had always wanted to dance but had never been allowed to. It was my sister who went to the ballet classes and me who tried to copy her steps in our living room. The kids at school knew I wanted to dance too – and I came in for so much teasing it used to really upset me. Where I came from, boys just didn’t do dancing – like Billy Elliot! I still had this deep desire to dance – but I’d been covering it up for a long time. Then I saw the film. It gave me the confidence to ask for dancing classes and it also altered everyone else’s perception of …
