1115 Of all my friends, Id have to say Michelle is the nicest. You couldnt hope to meet a more caring person. I remember on one occasion, when we were both about six, she saw that some older children were being unkind to me, and calmly led me away by the hand. (5 marks) 1620 The practice of headhunting is becoming more and more commonplace in the business world. Companies who have important vacancies to fill are increasingly targeting and approaching excellent individuals in other companies and offering them more money. Agencies are also springing up to do this work on companies behalf. (5 marks) 2125 Sharon, I dont know what youre talking about, darling. Youve got the wrong end of the stick, said Basil.

1115 The big new thing in personal fitness is the medicine ball. Yes, you heard me correctly, those huge, heavy leather balls you used in the school gym, if youre over 30, that is. The medicine ball is lifted, held and thrown in various positions, thereby enabling the use of muscles that traditional training programmes do not. This means the body is sculpted in new ways. (5 marks) 1620 There is nothing more annoying in the whole world than not being able to find two socks which match. This problem becomes all the more pertinent when, at 8.30 in the morning, you have ten seconds left in which to decide, Shall I go to work with no socks or one grey and one black?
