1.10,375 punts

  1. a) The discovery of new underwater species in the Mediterranean.
  2. b) The changes in marine life he observed from childhood to adulthood.
  3. c) The influence of Jacques Cousteau’s campaigns against overfishing.
  4. d) A passion for documenting marine life on film.
  1. a) Descartada

    No es diu a l’entrevista: no parla de descobrir espècies noves, sinó de veure tornar les que ja no veia des de petit: pops, peixos grans, boscos d’algues.

  2. b) Correcta

    Jordan Scala explica que el mar de la seva infantesa era buit i que, en bussejar de gran en una reserva marina, va trobar el que hi faltava: «What was missing from the sea of my childhood was there: octopus, large fish, seaweed forests». És la segona opció.

  3. c) Descartada

    Cousteau apareix pels seus documentals («the underwater world that Jacques Cousteau showed us in his documentaries»), no per campanyes contra la sobrepesca.

  4. d) Descartada

    No es diu a l’entrevista que ell volgués filmar la vida marina: diu que de petit li fascinaven els documentals de Cousteau.

1.20,375 punts

  1. a) World War II.
  2. b) Large scale exploitation of the sea for food.
  3. c) A large number of scuba diving tourists.
  4. d) Pollution of the sea by documentary filmmakers.
  1. a) Descartada

    La guerra només marca el moment: durant la Segona Guerra Mundial «the Mediterranean shores were still full of large fish»; el que acaba amb la vida marina és la industrialització de la pesca posterior.

  2. b) Correcta

    Jordan Scala ho diu així: «The industrialisation of fishing after World War II put the final nail in the coffin of Mediterranean marine life». La causa és la pesca industrial, és a dir, l’explotació del mar per obtenir aliment. És la segona opció.

  3. c) Descartada

    No ho diu: el busseig turístic només apareix com un benefici per als pescadors de Cabo Pulmo, «diving tourism inside the reserve and better fishing around it», no com a causa de la destrucció.

  4. d) Descartada

    No es diu a l’entrevista: dels documentals només diu que de petit el fascinaven.

1.30,375 punts

  1. a) requested a marine reserve and later benefited from it.
  2. b) opposed the creation of a marine reserve but later benefited from it.
  3. c) catch more fish inside the reserve than before.
  4. d) warn divers about sharks inside the reserve.
  1. a) Correcta

    Jordan Scala explica que els pescadors «asked the Mexican government to create a no-fishing area» i que després «those visionary fishermen are better off now». És la primera opció.

  2. b) Descartada

    Diu el contrari: no s’hi van oposar, van ser ells qui van demanar crear la reserva.

  3. c) Descartada

    Dins la reserva no es pesca («a no-fishing area»); la millora és en el turisme de busseig i en la pesca de l’entorn.

  4. d) Descartada

    No es diu a l’entrevista: els taurons només surten com a part de la recuperació («the return of the large fish and sharks»), sense que ningú avisi els bussejadors.

1.40,375 punts

  1. a) Wild animals have adapted well to changes caused by human activity.
  2. b) Land animals’ habitat has been better protected than that of sea animals.
  3. c) More land is needed to farm pandas, tigers, and elephants.
  4. d) Human activity has removed 90 % of all fish from the ocean.
  1. a) Descartada

    Diu el contrari: dels mamífers, «Only four percent is everything else», és a dir, el que no són persones ni animals de granja.

  2. b) Correcta

    Jordan Scala dona la xifra del que està protegit: «only seven percent of the ocean and around a fifth of our land has been protected». La terra està més ben protegida que el mar. És la segona opció.

  3. c) Descartada

    Els pandes, tigres i elefants surten com a exemple de fauna salvatge, que és una part molt petita dels mamífers; no parla de criar-los ni de necessitar més terra.

  4. d) Descartada

    Exagera: diu que s’ha eliminat més del 90 % dels peixos grans («over 90 percent of the large fish in the ocean»), no de tots els peixos.

1.50,375 punts

  1. a) Their effectiveness.
  2. b) Their cost.
  3. c) Their long-term existence.
  4. d) Their naturalness.
  1. a) Descartada

    Sí que l’esmenta: són «the best and most efficient technologies to remove carbon from the atmosphere».

  2. b) Descartada

    Sí que l’esmenta: mentre es protegeixin, «they do the removal for free».

  3. c) Descartada

    Sí que l’esmenta, amb altres paraules: diu que «they already exist», és a dir, que ja són disponibles.

  4. d) Correcta

    Els avantatges que enumera són la seva eficàcia («the best and most efficient technologies»), que ja existeixen («they already exist») i que són gratis («they do the removal for free»). Que siguin naturals no ho presenta com un avantatge, així que aquesta és la que no esmenta. És la quarta opció.

1.60,375 punts

  1. a) All three objectives are given the same priority everywhere.
  2. b) Protecting 30 % of the ocean is the minimum requirement.
  3. c) Protecting the most biodiverse areas will harm fishing.
  4. d) A new system is used to choose which areas to protect.
  1. a) Correcta

    Jordan Scala explica que triar les zones depèn del pes que es doni a cada objectiu: «Picking which areas to protect depends on how much we value the different objectives»; donar el mateix pes als tres és només una hipòtesi («if we gave the same weight to biodiversity, food and carbon»). Per això la primera opció és falsa.

  2. b) Descartada

    És certa: diu que «the minimum amount of ocean we would need to protect would be 30 percent».

  3. c) Descartada

    És certa, tot i que l’opció és més tallant del que ell diu: «Protecting the top areas for biodiversity could result in a loss of fish to catch».

  4. d) Descartada

    És certa: «we developed a new framework to optimize multiple benefits» per triar les zones.

1.70,375 punts

  1. a) is too expensive.
  2. b) requires government subsidies.
  3. c) requires international cooperation.
  4. d) requires the support of polluting industries.
  1. a) Descartada

    Diu el contrari: el cost és «only a fraction of the money that governments use to subsidise industries that pollute».

  2. b) Descartada

    Parla de subvencions, però de les que reben les indústries contaminants, i proposa «reverse the flow of that money».

  3. c) Correcta

    Jordan Scala insisteix que cal cooperar entre països: «Getting governments to work together is essential», i cita una coalició que ja reuneix 66 països. És la tercera opció.

  4. d) Descartada

    No es diu a l’entrevista: les indústries contaminants només surten com a receptores de subvencions, no com un suport necessari.

1.80,375 punts

  1. a) Optimistic and hopeful, focussing on solutions and positive outcomes for the planet.
  2. b) Neutral and scientific, focussing on factual explanations and technical details.
  3. c) Pessimistic and resigned, focussing on the destruction of nature, which is seen as inevitable.
  4. d) Alarmist and fearful, emphasizing the urgency of the environmental crisis.
  1. a) Correcta

    Jordan Scala parla de recuperació i de solucions: «I have seen this miracle happen in other areas across the ocean» i «We saw it recover in only 10 years». És la primera opció.

  2. b) Descartada

    Dona xifres, però per defensar un pla d’acció («we launched a campaign for 30 by 30»), i parla amb entusiasme del que ja s’ha recuperat, així que el to no és neutre.

  3. c) Descartada

    Parla de destrucció, però no la veu inevitable: «I thought nature was lost» correspon a abans de conèixer la reserva, i després presenta solucions.

  4. d) Descartada

    Reconeix el perill («If we are to prevent a global disaster»), però no parla amb por: el que domina són les solucions i els resultats ja aconseguits.

Transcripció oficial de l’àudio

Interviewer: Today I am joined by marine ecologist Jordan Scala who is here to tell us about 30 by 30, an ambitious plan to protect our planet. Jordan, what made you want to get started with this plan?

Jordan: When I was a kid growing up in the Mediterranean, I was fascinated by the underwater world that Jacques Cousteau showed us in his documentaries. When he started filming during World War II, the Mediterranean shores were still full of large fish. But when I went to the sea to swim in the '70s, I saw none of that. There were sea urchins at the bottom, but I never saw a large fish. The industrialisation of fishing after World War II put the final nail in the coffin of Mediterranean marine life. I thought nature was lost. Until, in my 20s, I started scuba diving in the Medes Islands marine reserve in Spain. One square kilometre fully protected from fishing and other damaging activities. I still remember that first dive in the reserve. As soon as I put my head underwater, I felt like diving into one of Cousteau's films. What was missing from the sea of my childhood was there: octopus, large fish, seaweed forests. Just a few years of protection had allowed the sea to recover.

Interviewer: Is the Medes Islands marine reserve unique, are there other areas of the sea which have recovered?

Jordan: No, I have seen this miracle happen in other areas across the ocean, like in Cabo Pulmo, Mexico, where local fishermen were so upset about not having enough fish to catch, that in the mid-90s, they asked the Mexican government to create a no-fishing area. A national park in the sea. We surveyed the marine environment then, and the place was an underwater desert. When we returned a decade later, everything had changed. What had been an empty sea was now full of life and colour. We saw it recover in only 10 years, including the return of the large fish and sharks. And those visionary fishermen are better off now. From diving tourism inside the reserve and better fishing around it.

Interviewer: So, there is obviously a strong argument for protecting our seas then.

Jordan: Yes, but today, globally, only seven percent of the ocean and around a fifth of our land has been protected. That means that we have converted most of our planet into a tame environment, where we and our farmed animals represent 96 percent of the mammals. Only four percent is everything else, from pandas to tigers to elephants. And we have removed over 90 percent of the large fish in the ocean in the last century alone.

Interviewer: Last summer saw some of the hottest temperatures in human history, in places that one would expect to be cool, like Canada, Finland and Siberia. I imagine this has played a role in the destruction of the natural environment.

Jordan: This extreme heat kills hundreds of thousands of people. If we are to prevent a global disaster, we need to do two things. As we know, we need to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases to almost zero. But we also need to decrease the excess carbon pollution in the atmosphere and in the ocean. We need nature's help. Because trees, grasslands, and healthy oceans are the best and most efficient technologies to remove carbon from the atmosphere, and they already exist. As long as we protect them, they do the removal for free.

Interviewer: So that’s the solution. Surely, it can’t be that simple.

Jordan: The problem is that nature cannot keep up with us. The biodiversity that is left today is not enough to absorb our impacts any longer. That's why I put together a team of top scientists and economists to answer the question of which areas in the ocean we must protect first. And how much of the ocean do we need to protect? We decided to focus on three objectives: biodiversity, food and carbon storage to help the fight against climate change. If we think of each objective in isolation, there are compromises. Protecting the top areas for biodiversity could result in a loss of fish to catch, for example. To solve that problem, we developed a new framework to optimize multiple benefits. Picking which areas to protect depends on how much we value the different objectives. We found that if we gave the same weight to biodiversity, food and carbon, we would need to protect the right 45 percent of the ocean to maximize the three benefits. We also found that even if we didn't value biodiversity, the minimum amount of ocean we would need to protect would be 30 percent.

Interviewer: But what about land?

Jordan: Similar analysis has been done for the land, also showing 30 percent as a minimum. Armed with this research, we launched a campaign for 30 by 30, meaning at least 30 percent of the planet, land and sea, protected by 2030. Getting governments to work together is essential. Working with the governments of Costa Rica, France and the United Kingdom, we built the High Ambition Coalition for Nature and People, which now has 66 countries, all supporting "30 by 30" as a main target for a global deal on nature.

Interviewer: Some will say, however, that we cannot afford to protect our natural world. What do you say to that?

Jordan: I understand that the idea of protecting a third of our land and ocean may feel threatening to those who see only the short-term profits of their destruction. But let's look at the numbers. A study has put the cost of protecting 30 percent of the planet at about 140 billion dollars a year. That's only a fraction of the money that governments use to subsidise industries that pollute our air, damage our land and empty our ocean. We need to reverse the flow of that money from funding the destruction of our life support system to preserving it.

Interviewer: Thank you, Jordan.

HOW TO MAKE PIZZA LIKE A NEAPOLITAN MASTER

When you think of Italy’s most memorable dishes, its beloved pizza will most likely be among your top three favourites. It’s a comfort food that has become an obsession around the world. But what makes pizza from Italy so special, and where do you find the very best?

Like so many of the country’s most prized gastronomic delights like wine, olive oil and [5] cheese, the quintessential pie from Naples, where pizza was born, is now worthy of its own Designation of Controlled Origin (DOC). The city’s pizza-making tradition even received Unesco recognition in 2017 as an intangible cultural heritage item. Naples is the hub of the pizza napoletana, with generations of the same family groomed in the art of being a pizzaiolo (pizzamaker). And each family carefully guards its recipe variations with a passion that’s [10] matched perhaps only by the city’s love for its football team. There are three basic types of Neapolitan pizza: the Margherita, topped with tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese and fresh basil; the marinara, with no cheese and oregano and garlic instead of basil; and the “DOC”, made with mozzarella di bufala instead of the usual fior di latte made from cow’s milk.

Pizza is said to have originated in the city in the 1700s, after one of the essential ingredients, [15] the tomato, was brought from Peru. But even before that, Neapolitans had been eating a version of the pita, a kind of flatbread brought from Arabic immigrants, and which eventually evolved into “pizza” in the local dialect. Most upper-class Europeans originally considered tomatoes to be poisonous, but at a time of almost famine, local Neapolitans started topping their humble flatbreads with tomatoes, and soon the creation became a staple of the city’s cuisine. Today, there [20] are more than 500 pizzerias in Naples, but only a fifth of them are certified by the True Neapolitan Pizza Association, an organisation created in 1984 to protect and distinguish authentic pies from the wannabes. Its criteria are based not only on the ingredients that go into the pie—including everything from the type of flour in the dough to the provenance of the cheese—but also the preparation, from the dough fermentation style to oven temperature. The Association now even [25] holds an annual contest to judge which pizza makers are the best in the world.

So, how does one make an authentic Neapolitan pizza? To begin with, the dough must be made with Italian wheat flour, fresh brewer’s yeast, water and salt. The dough must be rolled by hand or with a slow speed mixer; never using a rolling pin. However, twirling it in the air to oxygenate the dough might be best left to the professional pizzaioli. Pureed tomatoes are [30] another necessary ingredient for a great pie—preferably San Marzano, which grow on the volcanic plains of Mount Vesuvius and are required for pizzas with DOC designation. Only two types of mozzarella should be used to get the designation: fior di latte made from cow’s milk; or mozzarella di bufala, made from the milk of the water buffalo that live in the Campania and Lazio regions.

[35] Of course, part of Neapolitan pizza’s fame comes from how it’s cooked. The dough must be no more than 3 mm thick and must bake for 60 to 90 seconds at a very high temperature inside a wood-burning oven, resulting in a pizza that’s crispy but not burnt. It all sounds easy enough, but there is a reason why some pizzamakers are considered true masters: that moment just before a pie becomes a burned mistake often lies in an expert’s eye. But even if you don’t [40] have DOC-qualified ingredients or a wood-burning oven, all you really need to make a good pie is flour, yeast, a can of tomatoes and cheese. Whatever ingredients you use, hopefully, the final result will be delicious.

Last Saturday I went with four friends to the new restaurant in our town, and we all loved it. It serves modern Mediterranean food, and the menu changes with the seasons.

Our favourite dishes were the creamy rice with wild mushrooms and the grilled octopus, which was tender and full of flavour. The ingredients are clearly fresh and local, and the vegetables tasted as if they had just been picked. For dessert, the lemon tart was light and perfectly balanced.

The staff were friendly and efficient, and they explained every dish patiently. The decoration is simple but warm, with wooden tables and soft lights. Considering the quality, the prices are very reasonable: a three-course meal costs about twenty euros per person.

The only small drawback is that the dining room gets noisy when it is full, so book in advance. Highly recommended!

Què mira cada criteri en aquesta redacció

  • Grammar Mira que les frases siguin correctes i que es combinin temps i estructures. Aquí hi ha passat simple («Last Saturday I went with four friends to the new restaurant»), present per valorar i una comparació hipotètica («the vegetables tasted as if they had just been picked»).
  • Vocabulary and spelling Mira que el vocabulari sigui precís, propi d’una ressenya gastronòmica, i que l’ortografia sigui correcta (aquí, en variant britànica). Per exemple, «tender and full of flavour» i «the lemon tart was light and perfectly balanced».
  • Cohesion Mira que les idees s’enllacin i que cada paràgraf tingui la seva funció: la presentació, els plats i els ingredients, el servei i el preu, i la valoració final. Aquí, «The only small drawback is that the dining room gets noisy when it is full» introdueix el matís i «so book in advance» el resol amb un consell.
  • Adequacy and coherence Mira que la ressenya cobreixi el que demana la consigna: el tipus de menjar («It serves modern Mediterranean food»), els millors plats, els ingredients, el servei, la decoració, la relació qualitat-preu («a three-course meal costs about twenty euros per person») i alguna altra observació, com el soroll.

Last year I had a real academic challenge: I failed my first two maths exams in a row and began to believe that I was simply bad at the subject.

I realised that hiding the problem would only make it worse, so I talked to my teacher, who suggested that I review my mistakes every week. I also joined a study group with two classmates, and we met every Thursday to explain exercises to each other.

It was slow work, and some weeks I wanted to give up. However, by the third term my marks had improved so much that I passed the course with a good grade.

What did I learn? First, that asking for help is a sign of strength. Second, that effort and a good method can matter more than talent. Now, when something seems impossible, I remember those Thursdays and keep going.
