STAGE 9 CAIE, ENGLISH

WRITING SKILLS: JOURNAL ENTRY


Q I. Ariana Svenson works for Apus Peru Adventure Travel Specialists, a company that offers you opportunities to

visit little-known places. Here she writes about a cycling journey across the Andes Mountains in South

America, through varied scenery.

OK. I admit it, we go looking for adventure. We had always wanted to visit the Manu region but it had seemed

hopelessly expensive so we had the idea of cycling there, seeing Peru's National Bird, the Cock of the Rock,

and then going home.

It was low season and although it was totally the wrong time of year to be crossing mountain passes, we set off,

armed with an excess of wet weather gear, and brimming with enthusiasm. Two minutes after we had reached

the top of a mountain pass it was hailing and we were drenched.

Our descent would have been truly exhilarating in good conditions – when it's freezing it is hellish. Our hands,

though gloved, were the first part to lose feeling – not good when you need to be able to feel your hands to

apply the brakes on hairpin corners! Your lips go numb first, and then your nose starts running and your knees

begin to freeze up in the cold. It was pure agony. An Andean village, that appeared to be warmly welcoming

from above, was coldly abandoned and shut up as we passed by closed doors.

About three hours later, bedraggled and miserable, we arrived at Colquepata. There they told us it was only

another forty minutes downhill to Paucartambo: it took us over two hours! At least the journey was downhill

and at its best there were smooth roads, good gradients and high speeds. We passed through pretty farmland,

groups of eucalyptus trees and herds of cattle and sheep on their way home at the end of the day.

Paucartambo emerged around the corner, a charming place, with cobblestone streets, narrow alleys and

whitewashed houses. People in skirts and draped in colourful blankets added an old world charm and we felt

that we had stepped back centuries.

Later we arrived in San Pedro to see the Cock of the Rock birds doing their mating dance. We camped on a nice

man's soccer pitch, and woke up at midnight to the sound of rain – incessant, heavy, continuous rain that pelted

the tent with a somewhat dismaying regularity. We roused ourselves and trudged through the muddy quagmire

to see the Cocks’ dance again, wondering how many would look for a mate in this foul weather. We were right

– very few!

Following a flat tyre, brake adjustments and load rearrangements, we were jolting our way downhill again,

through ever more beautiful and warm jungle. Soon we were racing along through pampas luxuriant with

grasses – the rich moist air of the jungle filled our lungs which felt as if they had been starved in the Andes. It

was heady and intoxicating – and we just wanted to smile and laugh, out of sheer happiness. Great flocks of big,

bright, buttercup-yellow butterflies were feeding on the road and when we passed they fluttered up and

surrounded us, so we were cycling in a haze of butterflies – utterly dreamlike!


We continued to the village of Pilcopata where we managed to get some necessary repairs done to the bikes. We

decided to travel further by local bus but had to wait because all the buses out of the region were full, and there

were no more for two days.

In those long hours of waiting we developed the art of conversation with complete strangers. In our time-

oriented society, it's not something that we usually do. Everyone is far too busy or has lots of friends. However,

in the heat of the jungle people aren't in a hurry and are happy to discuss things with strangers. I got into a

conversation with an old woman who had lived all her life in the region. She exclaimed, “Do you know how

much tourists pay to visit Manu?” She added, without bitterness, “Not a cent reaches our town. They come with

all the food they need – even bread and water! And all they leave is rubbish!” It struck me then just how

important it is to buy locally, and be environmentally conscious in all our actions. I am glad that when we travel

we buy at small shops and eat in local restaurants. You can't please everyone, but you can make a difference.

Imagine you are one of Ariana Svenson’s companions on her journey. You are now on a boat on the way

home and are writing your impressions of the adventure in your journal.

Write your journal entry in which you describe what you think were the good and bad points of your

journey.

In your journal entry you should include:

• your thoughts and feelings • what you have learnt from the experience.

You should base your ideas on what you have read in the passage, but do not copy from it.

You should write between 1 and 1½ sides, allowing for the size of your handwriting.

Up to ten marks are available for the content of your answer, and up to ten marks for the quality of your

writing.



STAGE 9 CAIE, ENGLISH

MATCH REPORT


Q I. You are a reporter attending a press conference given by a football manager. This is what he said.

‘I’m really proud of what the lads did today. Considering last week’s match against Bestwick this was in a

different league altogether. The score line wasn’t what we were hoping for, of course, but Reno’s goal in the

first minute was brilliant and should have set the tone for the rest of the match. I can’t comment on the referee’s

decision to send off Pilly just before half-time for a perfectly fair tackle, but I have demanded an inquiry. Mc

Adam’s second goal should have been allowed – the linesman obviously wasn’t looking in the right direction.

And then fate really hit us with Crow going down so badly after that vicious tackle from Donohue. The rain

didn’t help of course; that was the muddiest football pitch I’ve ever seen. It could have been a lot worse, but a

5–1 defeat will, I admit, affect our goal average for this season. I’m not even prepared to consider relegation,

however. I’m sure we shall find our form and get back on top. Football is all about the next match, not the last

one, and I’m confident the lads will pull out all the stops when the going gets tough and pull it out of the bag.

The coach says that the two who are off with injury at the moment, Samson and Towanda, should be fit for the

next match. Samson is already attending training sessions even though it’s only three weeks since he injured his

leg. Next week’s a big cup match but with all the lads firing on all cylinders I have no doubt that we can beat

our old rivals United this time. I have something else up my sleeve too; I can’t talk about it yet, but it’s

something that will give the whole squad a real boost. I’d like to take this opportunity to say that the rumour

that Trevini has applied for a transfer is absolute rubbish. All the lads are completely loyal to the club and are

totally focused on winning the cup. The Rovers won it in 1972 with a glorious victory in the final, so that

proves we can win it again. Football’s a game of two halves and the season isn’t over until it’s over.’

1. Write below the notes you took at the press conference.

...............................................................................................................................................................................

...............................................................................................................................................................................


2. Now you are back in the newsroom. Turn your notes into a sports news report. Think about the order

in which to use your notes, and the style of news reports. (Look at the key point in Unit 1 of the

Coursebook if you need to.) Write your draft report of about 250 words.

...............................................................................................................................................................................

...............................................................................................................................................................................

3. Imagine now that you are a subeditor of the newspaper. The report on page 1 must be cut to about 175

words to t the space available on the sports page. Use brackets to show the cuts. Usually reports are cut

from the bottom upwards, after the repetitions and long-winded expressions have been removed or

expressed more economically. Also make sure that:

• the paragraphing is appropriate for this kind of writing (more paragraphs than usual and often a sentence

equals a paragraph) – put in extra paragraph markers if necessary • the style is factual, with names and numbers

– make the information more condensed if necessary

• the language is dramatic – make the vocabulary more sensational if necessary

• the sentence structures are appropriate – change to mostly simple or compound sentences if necessary

• there is some reported speech – change indirect to direct speech if necessary.

4. As the subeditor, it is also your job to decide on a headline for the report. It should be between three

and six words – short and dramatic words which summarise the content. You should also give the report

a subheading somewhere in the middle of the report. This should be two to four words, and will preview

what is coming in the next section; it may be a quotation. Give the headline and subheading below.

Headline: ...............................................................................................................................................................

Subheading: ................................................................................................................. .........................................


5. Write the final version of the report here, the one the readers of the newspaper will see. Include your

headline and subheading.
