Strategies and useful tips
- It is recommended to spend not more than 15 minutes on this task.
- In that task knowing of the following aspects of the language is checked:
- phrasal verbs (to put up, to come across, to cut down with, etc.);
- difference in using of words similar in meaning and synonyms (to look, to watch, to glance, to see; a trip, travel, a voyage, a journey, etc.);
- difference in using of words very close in sounding and spelling but different in meaning (again/against, effect/affect, beside/besides, etc.);
- dependent prepositions and word patterns (to rely on smb, to fall in love with smb, to throw in/at, to take care of, etc.).
Lighthouse Keeper
Now the lighthouses are fully mechanised. But even before the \({\boxed{32} \underline{ }}\) of electricity, a caretaker worked in every lighthouse. And many people thought that this work was very romantic and harsh. It has been passed down from generation to generation. This was not an occupation for weaklings. The most difficult thing the caretakers had to \({\boxed{33} \underline{ }}\) was loneliness, a storm and shipwrecks. Previously, the caretakers had to be on an open fire. The constant danger was also that the tower could catch fire and this sometimes happened. The caretaker's family also had to bear the debt. To be away \({\boxed{34} \underline{ }}\) civilisation, receive homeschooling and help their brother or father. Some spent their entire lives at the lighthouse from birth and continued the dynasty.
The difficulties of past caretakers were chemical hazards. Mercury vapours on the wheels and bearings of the mechanism poisoned the caretakers. Mercury vapour causes depression and hallucination. Therefore, the doctors \({\boxed{35} \underline{ }}\) examined the caretakers claimed that mercury affected their mental state. Once every five months, the caretaker received food and communicated with the continents albeit for a short time. Usually they brought him \({\boxed{36} \underline{ }}\) , newspapers and books. Prolonged isolation was also a big disadvantage of this work.
Surprisingly, many wanted to be lighthouse keepers and were proud \({\boxed{37} \underline{ }}\) this profession. They were attracted by the opportunity to be closer to nature. Many of them loved primitive farming. Many even became writers. After all, life on the island flows steadily and there is \({\boxed{38} \underline{ }}\) time.
