INTER RAILING AROUND EUROPE

Imagine you were told to pack a rucksack with all you need

for a month of travelling, what would you take with you? Well, this is the problem which thousands of young people have when they decide to go ‘InterRailing’. Never heard of it? Well, lnterRail has become a common part of our language.

The idea is you buy one train ticket which covers the whole or

part of Europe; you pack your bag, jump on a train and go! Prom Austria to Turkey, from Finland to Spain, lnterRail is the ideal way for young people to travel around Europe on a small budget.

The InterRail Pass was first introduced in 1972 and was a rail ticket which offered under 21-year-olds unlimited travel through twenty-one European countries. The ticket quickly became very popular indeed, allowing young people to travel throughout Europe very cheaply. Over the years, the age limit for the ticket has been raised a number of times and the area covered by the ticket has been expanded. The rail pass now covers 30 countries, reflecting the opening of the borders to the East and the growth of the European Union.

Today, there is a wide range of tickets available, for young and old alike, for a whole month or just a few days, for all of the countries or for just one particular ‘zone’.

The ticket has been an amazing success. Since its introduction,

nearly 7 million young people have travelled using this form of rail ticket. Apart from the fact that the ticket offers young people a cheap form of travel, the lnterRail Pass is also simple to use. It is accepted as a means of travel without any further complicated paperwork. It also offers discounts on many ship and ferry connections and lower entrance fees to many museums and galleries.

But it is the freedom which it offers that has captured the

hearts of young people. There is nothing quite like sitting on a train with nothing else except the things you have with you in your rucksack.

The freedom to be able to decide yourself when and where to travel without having to stick to any timetable other than the one you decide upon yourself is thrilling. InterRail offers an element of adventure while providing an element of security at the same time. You know you have your ticket, as it has already been paid for, you

know where it is valid and for how long.

Despite the occasional language problem, Europe is perfect

for InterRail. It offers travellers an enormous amount of diversity, with each country having something unique.

France is one of the most popular countries, in particular Paris. Germany is also a top destination for its history and festivals; Italy is home to art and pizza; Greece has a ‘sun, sand and sea’ image.

Of course, anyone considering going InterRailing for a month

really has to do some careful planning with maps, timetables and one of the many lnterRail guides available. For certain trains, in particular the high speed ones, you have to pay extra. You also have to pay a supplement to use the sleeping wagons. Travel safety is a subject many young people have to become familiar with, as well. While it is usually pretty safe on most trains in Europe, there are, of course, areas and

times which are more risky than others. Travelling by train during the day is advised for young people, and doing the journey with someone else is also much safer than travelling on your own.

A month of travelling through Europe gives you the chance

to see many new places and meet young people from all over the world. It is both educational and culturally rewarding.

You are advised to plan well in advance to try and get the most out of your journey. However, in my experience of InterRail, it was all the unexpected things which happened that made the journey so interesting, but above all, fun!

READING

READ THE PASSAGE ABOUT EXTREME SPORTS AND ANSWER THE QUESTIONS 1-6. CHOOSE A, B, C OR D.

EXTREME SPORTS

Extreme sports are described as activities which have a high level of danger.

Examples of common extreme sports include skydiving, rock climbing,

surfing, scuba diving, water skiing, mountain biking and snowboarding.

These sports often involve speed, height and great physical effort.

Extreme sports differ from standard sports because they are affected by environmental obstacles and challenges, including weather and terrain.

Because natural obstacles, such as wind, snow, water and mountains, cannot be controlled, they inevitably affect the outcome of the given sport or event. In contrast, in a standard sporting event, athletes compete against each other under controlled circumstances.

While it is possible to create a controlled extreme sporting event, there are often factors which cannot be held constant. Examples include snow conditions for snowboarders, rock and ice quality for climbers and wave height for surfers.

Most people that engage in extreme sports do so for the so-called ‘adrenaline rush’. Under circumstances which cause fear, the hormone adrenaline is released, along with serotonin and endorphins, substances which produce a physical state of excitement and a general sense of well-being. Extreme sports fanatics claim that participating in such challenging activities allows them to develop their physical as well as mental skills and gives them the satisfaction of mastering inhospitable environments.

  12. Because they affect only specific sports.
  13. They are referred to as factors that must be controlled.
  14. They are given as examples of changeable conditions.
  15. Because these conditions are necessary for each sport.
  16. The hormone adrenaline is released
  17. when someone is excited.
  18. when someone is relaxed.
  19. when someone is frightened.
  20. by serotonin and endorphins.

  22. have more advanced mental skills than regular athletes.
  23. need high levels of serotonin.

MY NATURAL ENVIRONMENT

Living in South Africa, I had always taken the wildlife pretty much for granted. Not to say that we were surrounded

by it, but the accessibility of game parks and wildlife sanctuaries always made it seem like a natural part of the environment. For this reason, I suppose that the way my European friends used to talk to me wasn’t so strange after all.

They would ask me what I thought at the time were really silly questions which got on my nerves. They’d say things like ‘Do you have a baboon?‘ or ‘Do you travel to school by elephant?‘.

When John, a friend of mine who was visiting from England, invited me to join him and a group of friends on a wildlife

expedition, I was not brimming with enthusiasm. However, from the moment we entered the gates of the Zaluzi game reserve, I knew that this was not going to be anything like I had expected. We had been travelling along the National Road when, suddenly, we swerved onto a dirt track which seemed to be hidden in the middle of nowhere.

Miraculously, the scenery changed dramatically. The civilised environment took on a wild, chaotic aspect and continued to do so as we penetrated deeper into the bush. After having a good night‘s sleep at one of the reserve‘s bungalows, we were woken at the crack of dawn. After a quick breakfast we piled into a jeep and set off. Our guide assured us that the early start was necessary in order to have the best chance of seeing what was really worthwhile. Armed with just a thermos of coffee, we set out towards the shore of a small lake where it was expected that we could see the animals that used it as their morning watering hole, On the way to our destination, we topped a hill and there, silhouetted against the emerging morning light, were a group of animals. It was a stunning sight. As we moved closer, the animals did not appear to be alarmed by our presence.

I had never before come within such close range of a pride of lions. It did cross my mind, however, that we might be in a certain amount of danger. When I asked Timothy, our game ranger, if we were actually in any danger, he bluntly replied that one is never entirely safe in the bush, but his knowledge and experience allowed him to anticipate any danger with reasonable accuracy.

However, the following day there was some cause for alarm. Not having started out so early, we missed the sightings of the day before. We decided to drive around for a while, hoping to come across something of interest. Suddenly our tracker perched up on the back of our vehicle, signalled to the driver to halt and at the same moment I realised that this time we had stumbled right into a pride of lions. The driver promptly turned off the engine and in a low voice warned

us to remain seated and not to make any abrupt movements. The lions were picking at what looked like the carcass of a zebra. Timothy later told us how much to our advantage this was. Had their bellies not been full, their reaction to us would surely have been otherwise. As the nearest lion was less than three metres away from the jeep, l  considered that we had been very lucky indeed.

All in all, it was a wonderful trip. Our near miss with the lions was without a doubt the highlight, but what it taught me yet again was how easy it is to be indifferent to our surroundings and not have a full appreciation of the beauty around us.

READING

                YOU ARE GOING TO READ A MAGAZINE ARTICLE ABOUT A PAINTER’S EXPERIENCES. SEVEN SENTENCES HAVE BEEN REMOVED FROM THE ARTICLE. CHOOSE FROM THE SENTENCES A-H THE ONE WHICH BEST FITS EACH GAP. THERE IS ONE EXTRA SENTENCE WHICH YOU DO NOT NEED TO USE.

I have been a professional artist now for nearly forty years. I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t scribbling something or other. However, I only do this job because I have learnt the technical skills involved. For me, it is wrong to believe that a painter has the power to express his emotions or character through art.

Oddly enough, I first discovered this weakness in the position of the artist when I went to university. (1) (   F  )But within weeks I had to rethink everything. I had a lot of trouble accepting the theories put forward by my lecturers, but their arguments were too strong. I started to realise that university can broaden your mind only if you’re prepared to reconsider your childhood ideals. (2) (  B  ) Luckily I had my tutor to help me. He told me that if I wanted to return to being the narrow-minded brat I was when I first entered university, I was welcome to

do so. We kept in touch for years after I had graduated. (3) ( D  ) I never really liked his work, which I found too depressing, but I could tell he valued my opinion.

Having run a local art group for the last few years, I have come to realise how other people’s views on a work of art can change one’s attitude. (4) ( A )   Although her vocabulary is limited to a few words, she knows what she likes and when she thinks something is rubbish, she has no hesitation in telling me so. (5) (  H  ) She always praises

everything I do and calls everything ‘lovely’ even when she’s looking at a cover for a horror story I’ve just made.

I always try to explain to her that an image doesn’t have to have meaning within it. The meaning is given by whoever observes. ‘But it’s a cat!’ she exclaims, and I say, ‘To you it’s a cat. Someone else may see it as their own cat, someone else may even see it as a tiger. It depends on who the viewer is.’ This has been my philosophy for

most of my career. Ever since university, I’ve tried to keep in mind that everyone has their own individual way of looking at things.(6) (  B  )

You could say that, because I’m the artist, the meaning I give is the authentic one. (7) ( G )This may sound a bit abstract, but it’s the only way it can be. For this reason, I always try to keep my work open so that viewers are free to give their own

interpretations. Any description they give will only add to the variety of meanings available. This is why I never name any of my paintings. I like the viewer to be involved, and a title only restricts interpretation.

  1. in fact, my most objective critic is my three year-old granddaughter.
  2. It is not easy to turn your back on the ideas that were guiding your life until then.
  3. That’s why my first exhibition wasn’t a great success.
  4. He was also an active artist and would always invite me to the openings of any exhibitions he gave.
  5. Therefore, whoever looks at one of my paintings will see it differently.
  6. I entered as an innocent, enthusiastic young painter looking forward to studying the rich history and many wonders of art.
  7. But I believe that the interpretation of the viewer is as authentic as mine.
  8. My daughter is the complete opposite.
