SECTION 6
(Please note: The following questions are related to a specific reading passage, which is available solely before the first question. Remember, it may be helpful to refer back to the reading text while answering the questions to ensure accuracy.)
Read the passage and answer the questions.
British people go to live in Australia for many reasons. Some go for work and decide to stay, some go for family reasons and others go because they think that the UK is dark, cold, rainy, expensive and crowded and they’d like to live where the air is clean, there’s a lot of space and it’s sunny.
When they both stopped working, Terry (65 years old) and Sarah Black (61 years old) went to Tasmania to look after Terry’s old father who was living there. When Terry’s father died six months later, they sold their house in the UK and moved there. They moved to Tasmania because of the sunny weather, open spaces, relaxed lifestyle and because houses, cars and petrol were not as expensive as in Britain.
At first, they enjoyed living there. Everything was exciting and new. Then, when the excitement of moving was over, they realised that it was true that Tasmania was sunnier than Britain, but the sun was strong and burnt if you stayed outside for a long time. Winter evenings were darker, longer and more boring than those in Britain. They thought the television programmes were worse and there wasn’t a library in the village near their house! The only water they had was rain, which didn’t come very often. So, it was impossible to have a good garden; flowers and vegetables need lots of water!
Three years after they moved, they decided they were too old to change from British to Tasmanian ways of life. They also wanted to come back to be with their son and his family. Flying from Tasmania to Britain for visits was expensive and tiring for people of their age.
Now they have returned to dark, cold, rainy Britain. Life is more expensive but they have a nice garden, they can meet their old friends, read library books, enjoy their favourite TV programmes and see their grandchildren every week. They’re home!
