    Time allowed: 1 hour 30 minutes
    This examination paper contains two tasks. You must complete both tasks.

    Task 1 Reading into writing task


    Your English penfriend is having some problems sleeping at the moment. Read the text below and
    then, in your own words, write a letter (approximately 150 words) to your friend saying:
    i) what he needs to do to sleep well
    ii) which of the things below you do personally and
    iii) how it helps you feel better.

    Sleep well and feel better!


    1.

    Sleep only when you are tired. This reduces the time you
    are awake in bed.

    2. Use the 20-minute rule. If you cant fall asleep in 20


    minutes, switch the light on and read or get up and sit
    somewhere warm and comfortable with your eyes closed.
    When you start to feel sleepy, go back to bed.
    3. Get up and go to bed at the same time every day. When your sleep cycle has a
    regular rhythm, you will feel better.
    4. If you exercise every day, it will help you sleep. Walk the
    dog, play football or go to the gym.
    5. It is important to relax before you go to bed. Listen to
    some music, read a book or have a glass of milk.
    6. Avoid big meals, coffee, tea and chocolate late at night.
    7. Take a hot bath before bedtime. It may help you feel sleepy.
    8. Make sure your bed and bedroom are quiet and comfortable. A hot room can be
    uncomfortable. A cooler room with blankets to stay warm is better.
