Unit 2: CITY LIFE Test 1 Tom: Hi Martha! I missed our meeting today. The traffic was horrible on Main Street, and I got delayed. Martha: That's okay, Tom. Were you driving? Tom: No, I was with my sister in her car. I don't usually drive. The parking fees are ridiculous downtown. Martha: I always take the subway. It's much faster, especially during rush hour. Tom: That's smart. Martha: The traffic situation is getting worse in New York. It seems like the bigger the city grows, the worse the traffic becomes. Tom: Definitely... and don't forget about the air quality. They're building a new office complex near my apartment. The dust is everywhere, and my allergies are acting up. Martha: That must be awful. I bet the construction noise is driving everyone crazy too. Tom: It sure is. Though I have to admit, these new buildings are making the city look more impressive. Have you seen the new glass tower on Fifth Avenue? Martha: The one they were working on when I moved. Is it finished now? Tom: Yes, it's a luxury hotel now. Young professionals love it because of the rooftop restaurant. Martha: Do you go there often? Tom: Once in a while for coffee. I'd like to go more frequently, but it's quite expensive. Martha: I know what you mean. These fancy places are way overpriced... I'll create 3 different tasks to test comprehension of this conversation about city life: Task 1: Multiple Choice Questions 1.

One big problem is traffic. There are too many cars on the roads, especially in the morning and evening. This causes pollution and makes people unhappy. If we use buses and bikes more often, there will be less traffic on the roads. Another problem is waste. Many people throw away too much trash. Some people don't recycle paper, plastic, and glass. To help solve this, our city now has special bins for different types of waste.
Schools teach children about recycling too. We also waste too much water and energy. Some people leave lights on when they're not in the room. Others let the water run while brushing their teeth. The solution is simple - we should turn off lights when we leave rooms and use less water. If everyone helps a little bit, we can make our city better. Small changes in our daily life can make a big difference. I'll create 3 different tasks to test comprehension of this passage about city problems: Task 1: Multiple Choice Questions 1.

Test 3 Different countries have interesting ways to solve traffic problems. In many European cities, people use bicycles instead of cars. They have special lanes just for bikes, so cyclists can ride safely. The government also makes sure there are many bike parking places. Some big cities have good underground train systems. People can travel quickly without using cars. The trains come every few minutes, and the tickets are not expensive. This helps reduce traffic on the roads. In other places, buses have their own lanes. This means buses don't get stuck in traffic, so more people choose to take the bus. Some cities also ask drivers to pay money when they drive into the city center. This makes people think twice about using their cars. Many schools now have special buses for students. Parents don't need to drive their children to school anymore. This helps make the roads less busy in the morning and afternoon.
