The following text is for questions 28 to 32.

Anybody who is over the age of six knows that there is nowhere safe for
skateboarders to skate. This prevents young people from enjoying an active, energetic
and adventurous pastime.

Just watch a local street for a short while and note the steady stream of skaters
speeding up and down the footpaths. Toddlers can be trampled on and old ladies can
be knocked down as they struggle home carrying their cat food from supermarkets.
Thunderous rattles are heard on our main roads each night as skaters travel without
lights and without signs to oncoming cars.

Skateboarding is a serious sport that improves young people's health. It

increases fitness, improves balance and strengthens the joints in knees and ankles.
Although it appears to be a solo sport, when groups practice together and compete to
perform stunts or runs they form firm friendships.

Young people should be prevented from becoming overweight couch potatoes.

If they are actively involved in skating, they do not smoke, take drugs or break laws
for fun.
Kids will always seek thrills and excitement. They need to practice their* 180s,
360s and Ollie’s free from restrictions. We must build skate parks in the suburbs so
that streets are safe for small children and senior citizens and skaters have spaces
where they can race, chase, speed, and soar towards the sun.

The text is for numbers 33 to 37.

33. The text is about....
Male chauvinism (men’s believe in male superiority) extends even into the area of
automobile driving, it seems. Believing that they are far better drivers than women. Men
consider women drivers incompetent, inattentive, and even dangerous behind the wheel.
However, statistics prove that women are, in fact, safer drivers than men. For example,
insurance rates for women are 20 percent than they are for men. Another proof is that more
accidents are caused by male drivers between the ages of 18 and 25 than by any other groups.
Also the greater percentage of accident involving deaths is caused by men. Although women
are criticized for being too cautious, they are really just being safe drivers.
The reason for women drivers’ safer driving habits can perhaps be found in the
differing attitudes of sexes toward automobiles as a convenience, like a washing machine.
On the other hand, men regard the automobile as an extension of their egos. Using it as a
weapon when they feel particularly aggressive or using it as a status symbol.
In all, women are safer drivers because of their attitude. Men can learn to become sale
drivers if they adopt the attitude that an automobile is merely a convenience.

The text is for questions 38 to 42.

It was the dawn of science and technology. Anything seemed possible—even the creation
of life itself. Victor Frankenstein becomes obsessed with this idea and works relentlessly to
prove his theories; but the glory he imagined becomes a living nightmare - not only for him,
but for his friends and family too.
Mary Shelley’s gothic horror story-Frankenstein-was first published in 1818 and has
been the inspiration behind numerous stage productions and films - many of which strayed a
long way away from her original masterpiece. Classical Comics presenting a full-colour
graphic novei remains true to this classic tale, bringing the original story to life which has never
been created before.

This graphic novel is available in two versions: Original Text and Quick Text editions.
The Original Text stays faithful to Shelley’s original text, while the Quick Text brings the story
up to date by presenting the text into a more simplified style so that the tale is accessible to all
readers.

The Quick Text edition will allow you to soak up a general feeling for the characters and
locations, while the Original Text version will help you easily slip into the language in which
the novel was written.

Even if you’re not studying the original, this graphic novel is worth buying. It’s a great
story, and should be one that everyone has the chance to read. Now, thanks to this release, even
those who don’t particularly like to read too much are given the chance to find this tale and
hopefully it may encourage them to search out the original book too.

As with previous Classical Comics, the presentation is first class. The best grade glossy
paper really helps to set this graphic novel head and shoulders above the usual comic book
releases on the market. Not only that, you also get a pretty comprehensive biography of Shelley;
Mary Shelley’s Family Tree; a feature that explains what life w'as like in the year of the book’s
release; and a brief look on how Frankenstein has been adapted to many different formats over
the years.
