A PLACE IN THE SUNThe number of British people buying second homes abroad has risen dramatically over the last ten years. The majority of these people is retired, or has taken early retirement. A small number of people work in the destination country and there are those who actually commute regularly from the UK. One city analyst, for example, spends Monday to Thursday at work in London, and the weekends in Barcelona, where his family live all the time.Some people sell their UK property to finance the purchase of a home abroad, but a large number of people keep their UK residence and divide their time between the two places.Popular destinations include France, Italy and Spain. A new trend has appeared, following the fall in the cost of air travel. People are now buying homes in Canada and the Eastern Mediterranean region. The common factor, however, is the climate. Almost everyone who responded to a recent study agreed that they wanted to live in a warmer and sunnier place.Every year, a number of people who have moved abroad decide to retire to the UK. The reasons vary and include health problems, family and simple homesickness.Section 4 Read the following passage and then chooce the correct answer form the choices A,B,C and D to each statement. (12)For years Jim Cartwright enjoyed spending his apare time repairing his local footbal clubs tumstiles, the metal gates which allow one person at a time into the football ground. When Jim was made redundant from his full-time job selling equipment to sports organisations, he realised he already knew plenty of people responsible for turnstiles. This made him sure that his hobby could become a successful new career.He had 1000 brochures printed and posted them to clubs around the country. For two weeks he heard nothing. Then Troon Football Club requested a quotation for repairing their turnstiles, with the possibility of the work becoming regular. He wanted the contract so much that he cut his profit margin to a minimum. He won it, though with no guarantee of further work and celebrated the launch of his new business.In the next month, club after club offered Jim work, and he recruited his first employee, Alec, to help re-install the repaired turnstiles. Alec, however, took frequent breaks and never put in more effort than he had to. Whats more, he seemed unhappy working for Jim. Although Jim had no complaints about the quality of his work, Alecs attitude made him difficult to work with.Jim considered dismissing Alec, but recruiting him had taken a long time because there had been so many suitable people to interview. Now he was simply too busy to go through that process again, and anyway, Jim had employed Alec on the understanding that the job would probably end when the current contracts were completed.Suddenly,though, Jims business was at risk. He made very few mistakes, and calculated his costs and the time that a job would take very accurately. But he had forgotten that generally clubs have repairs done between the end of one football season and the start of the next. Now no major jobs were coming in.After buying a replacement van, as his old one was beyond repair, he could only just cover Alecs wages and his own. But without more work he had no future. The solution was something more regular, and he decided to produce turnstiles, ad well as repair them. For an investment like this, though, he needed help, and he persuaded his bank to give him a loan. From then on, Cartwright Turnstile Services just grew and grew and now employs three full-time workers.18. why was Jim Cartwright confident about starting a business repairing turnstiles?A He had learnt from mistakes that his previous employer madeB He had a lot of contacts with possible customers.C He had experience of doing the work in his previous job.19 why was Jim happy that Troon Footbal Club gave him the contract?A It was the first his firm had receivedB It led to long term work for the clubC It provided him with a good profit.20. What problem did Jim have with Alec?A His work was not of a high enough standardB He did as little work as possibleC He made a lot of complaints about the business21.why did Jim decide to continue employing Alec?A It would take too long to find a replacementB There was a lack of people with the right qualificationsC Jim had given him a contract which guaranteed him work.22.why did Jim find himself in danger of going out of business?A His costs were higher than he had estimatedB He found that each job took longer than he expectedC His work was mostly limited to certain times of year.23.Jim asked his bank for a loan in order toA pay the wages billB start manufacturingC buy a new van.Part FourSection 5 Read this advertisement.
