For questions 1-5, choose the correct answer by matching the people below with the following texts.

Choosing an Art Course

The people below all want to take an art course. Below are descriptions of eight art courses. Decide which course would be the most suitable for each person. For questions 1-5, choose the correct answer.

Omar

Omar loves being outdoors and wants a weekend course where he can draw and paint natural scenery. He would like friendly feedback from a teacher, but he doesn’t want to use computers. He can travel, but only for day trips.

Lucia

Lucia is 17 and is building a portfolio to apply to an art college. She wants a course with different art skills, including drawing and photography, and she would like advice about applications. She can attend after school and on Saturdays.

Mei

Mei already paints well and wants to improve her oil painting techniques. She is especially interested in learning about famous painters from the past and copying their methods. She prefers a daytime course with a clear plan and small groups.

Peter

Peter has recently retired and wants a calm, social class in the daytime. He enjoys making things with his hands and would like to try pottery and simple sculpture. He prefers all materials to be included because he doesn’t want to buy equipment.

Hannah

Hannah works full-time and can only study in the evenings. She wants to learn how to edit photos and create simple posters for her small online shop. She is a beginner and needs a short course that starts soon, without any exams.

What to do

This task is a long one, so don’t worry, it cannot be done quickly!

Your task is to match eight texts with five people. There are three texts which you will not need.

It’s important to find out what the different people want before you look at the eight texts.

Don’t choose an answer just because it contains the same words as the question. Read the texts carefully to check the meaning is correct.

This part of the test cannot be done quickly because you need to read the details in each text carefully, and you may have to go back to a text and re-read it several times.

When you are sure you have found an answer, you may want to cross out that particular text as you will not need to read it again.

Strategy

  1. Read the five descriptions of people and underline the key words.
  2. Now read one description and try to find the matching text. The correct text must have all the points that the person requires. For example, if a person wants a romantic book that is short, you must find a text which matches the two requirements: romantic and short.
  3. Usually, the correct answer will not contain exactly the same words as the person’s description. You may have to recognize different ways of saying the same thing, for example, ‘love story’ instead of ‘romantic’, and ‘a book | can read quickly’ instead of ‘a short book’.
  4. If you think that there are two texts that seem to match the same person, read the description and the two texts again carefully. Only ONE text will match ALL of a person’s requirements.
  5. Check that the option you have chosen ts correct by trying to find out why the other options are incorrect.

Instructions

For questions 1-5, choose the correct answer by matching the people below with the following texts.
