Taxing test for taxi drivers

 

NEW DELHI taxi and rickshaw drivers are to be given a compulsory crash course in the English language to prepare them for
the influx of tourists that will arrive in the city for the next Commonwealth Games.
[5]     According to the Times of India, transport authorities want the cab drivers to achieve a 2,000-word vocabulary by the
time the games start in 2010.
    “The programme is aimed at the cabbie or auto [rickshaw] driver because he is the first person a passenger interacts
with on arrival in the city,” said transport commissioner VS Madan. “That's why we want drivers to converse properly and not in
sign language,” he added.
    Under the programme, drivers will be taught English relevant to the needs of tourists. By the end of their course
drivers should be able to give directions and suggest good restaurants, among other useful tourist advice. The transport
[10] department will give the taxi drivers an English proficiency exam each year. In the first year, a driver is expected to have
learned 20 per cent of the vocabulary and be able to reply to questions such as, “Where can I get a tourist map of the city?” In
the second year, the driver should know 35 percent of the words. By the third year the drivers are expected to have learned 50
per cent of the words. The transport department say that by the Commonwealth Games in four years, drivers will be able
to converse confidently.
[15]     To help drivers the department is to provide special centres where drivers will be able to use audio visual aids to help
them become proficient. Audio tapes will also be provided so that the drivers will be able to listen in between fares.

   One day a crow finds a tasty piece of cheese. She picks it up, flaps her wings, and flies to a high branch of a
tree to eat it.
 Down on the ground, a fox sees her. “Oho!” he says to himself, “That looks like a delicious piece of cheese.
Maybe I can get it away from that old crow.”
[5]     He walks over to the tree and calls to the crow in a very friendly voice. “You look so pretty today, Madam
Crow!” he says. “Your feathers are so beautiful and your eyes so bright! And is your voice more beautiful than
ever today?”
    Now, some people think crows have beautiful feathers and bright eyes. However, most people do not think
crows have beautiful voices. The crow listens to the nice words of the fox and likes what she hears. Of course,
[10] she tries to sing for him. But as soon as she opens her mouth, the cheese drops. Snap! The fox has it in his mouth
before it reaches the ground.
     The fox quickly eats the cheese. Then he turns to the crow and says, “You cannot trust a person who flatters
you,” and runs away.

    “CHINA has begun to enter the age of mass car consumption. This is a great and historic advance.” So proclaimed the state-run news agency, Xinhua, last year. Environmentalists may feel a twinge of fear at this burgeoning romance with motoring. But a rapid social and economic transformation is under way in urban China, and the car is steering it.

    In 2002 demand for cars in China soared by 56%, far more than even the rosiest projections. The next year growth quickened to 75%, before slowing in 2004 (when the government tightened rules on credit for car purchases) to around 15%. But in a sluggish global market, China’s demand remains mesmerising. Few expect this year’s growth to dip below 10%. As long as the economy goes on galloping at its current high-singledigit clip, many expect car sales to increase by 10-20% annually for several years to come.

THAILAND

 

Khao Lak and Phi Phi islands are still off limits.
[5] In Phuket, where the worst-hit areas were Patong
Beach and Kamala Bay, some resorts are
operating normally, but the devastation is not
yet cleared up everywhere. According to the
Tourism Authority of Thailand, the island of
[10] Ko Lanta has sustained only minimal damage,
and Krabi is back to normal. The worst-hit hotel
in Krabi, the Rayavadee, will reopen fully on
March 6. Trang province, in the south, is said
to be fine, although the upcoming islands of
[15] Ko Yao and Ko Racha were affected. More

The southwest, south and east coasts were all
badly affected, including the popular beach
[20] resorts between Kalutara and Galle. Many hotels
are ruined; others have reopened and are
anxious to receive guests. Surrounding villages
sustained damage, but most hotels are self-

contained. The road south from the capital,
[25] Colombo, may be prone to traffic delays.
Resorts to the north of Colombo were not
damaged, and all of the interior, including the
Yala National Park, is open for business. More
