ΑΡΧΗ 2 ΗΣ ΣΕΛΙΔΑΣ ΤΕΛΟΣ 2 ΗΣ ΑΠΟ 6 ΣΕΛΙΔΕΣ Α . Read the text below and respond to tasks A1 and A2 . Writing a diary is a great way to honestly express your thoughts and feelings –and, if memory fails, it's a wonderful window to the past! Maybe the practice of keeping a diary strikes some people as strange or old-fashioned. It often feels trivial to record things as they happen, but later they may prove useful, instructive or even amusing. Keeping a diary maintains the illusion of doing worthy things in a careful and thorough way every day –that you're not just spending your days without a real purpose. Which brings us to the next question: who are you writing for? Ultimately, it's yourself. Diary writing is the most private form of literary creation because you are both the author and (for the present at least) the sole reader. There are great advantages to this. The first is the benefit to your mental health. The diary is a safety- valve in the age of social media. There is no fear of being trolled or cancelled when you only write for yourself and you won't have to live out your regret in public. The second advantage has more to do with existential curiosity: the long perspective of diary-writing furnishes a picture not just of what you did but of who you were. To read past diary notes helps you chart the progression of the self as it changes through time. Throughout the years we evolve, we get rid of our old selves and acquire new ones. Memory will play us false about our past, will blur the small changes or miscarry the meaning; a diary, while not always correct, can at least claim: "I was there at the time". A third important advantage of the diary is its function as a work reminder. History does the broad sweep of years and decades. Biography does the intricate detail of character and incident. Diaries do both of these jobs and can prove a valuable tool when you need to determine things about past circumstances and events. So, a diary gives you peace of mind and a place to order your thoughts or as a writer once said "Diary writing gives us insights into who we are, who we were, and who we can become".

(5 x 2 points = 10 points) Vienna's unpredictable Vegetable Orchestra COLUMN A COLUMN B 20. It is three hours before showtime and members of an orchestra are seated onstage in the garden of an old monastery outside Cologne, Germany. On cue, the smartly dressed musicians slowly raise their instruments, purse their lips and begin playing. Just then, a sound technician abruptly cuts them off. The carrot flutes were too strong and he couldn't hear the pumpkin drum. A. WHAT A VARIETY! 21. This is Vienna's Vegetable Orchestra: a 10-piece ensemble that plays music with instruments made entirely from fresh produce. Over the past 21 years, the group has played nearly 300 shows at packed venues around the globe. The group has also been listed in the Guinness World Records for 'Most concerts by a vegetable orchestra' and has inspired a few other biodegradable ensembles to sprout up around the world. B. ALWAYS FRESH 22. The orchestra has invented more than 150 instruments over the years –and for many members, that's half the fun. Some are ready-made items from the market: crunching dried onion skin in your fist sounds like a rainstorm while thumping a pumpkin with your palm resembles a bass drum. Courgettes and peppers make good wind and brass instruments. The most complex are transformer-like hybrids that combine two or more vegetables. C. THE FINAL REHEARSAL 23. Unlike traditional instruments, which can last for hundreds of years, vegetable instruments quickly go bad, so the orchestra has to create new ones each time it plays. The morning of every show, the group goes to the local market with a detailed shopping list. Whatever is not used, it gets boiled down into a soup that is served to the audience after the show. D. WORLD RECOGNITION 24. "One of the most fascinating things about touring is learning how food differs around the world and coming up with completely new instruments", said Jiirgen Berlakovich. In South-East Asia, the group discovered an elastic garlic grass that made a great bass string. In the US, they found markets that sell giant leaves, which can be used like a maraca. E. THE WAY FORWARD F. SONIC POTENTIAL IN VEGETABLES

ΑΡΧΗ 2 ΗΣ ΣΕΛΙΔΑΣ ΤΕΛΟΣ 2 ΗΣ ΑΠΟ 6 ΣΕΛΙΔΕΣ Α . Read the text below and respond to tasks A1 and A2 . More and more workers are switching sectors and are often seeking careers that offer greater purpose in their life. This mass movement tells us a lot about how people view their jobs. Marcin, 33, knew he needed a dramatic career change. He had grown tired of his desk job as an auditor in which his greatest interactions were over e-mail, and his main day-to-day function was to carefully check business records. "I was doing the same work every day, working on huge amounts of data, basically looking for human errors to gain money back for clients," he explains. So, Marcin switched from auditing to nursing. After studying for three years at a community college and one year at a nursing school, he took a job in a hospital intensive-care unit in October 2021. Since January 2021 millions of workers have changed to new roles. Some are looking for better pay or flexibility; others are changing their job completely. The pandemic has caused an increase in people changing jobs more frequently than was the case in the past. In fact, people’s expectations of a role and employer are much higher following the pandemic. Employees aren't only looking at pay. It's finding a career that makes them happy and self-confident that matters to them; a career that doesn't feel like a job at all. They want work to be a bigger part of their life; they want it to be energising and motivating. What each person wants when changing from one job to another is different, and depends on where they've come from, what they're moving towards and what they're leaving behind. Psychological factors are often at play: whether it's an employee looking for greater meaning that pulls them towards kind settings, or a worker facing burnout that's pushed away. While many nurses have left their job following burnout, Marcin is one of the workers who has moved in the reverse direction. He says that despite the ups and downs of being a nurse, he's content in his new career. "Now, even when the job is tough and I return home exhausted, I maintain a sense of gratitude. I can finally say I like my job -I really do." Adapted from https://www.bbc.com (2022)

(5 x 2 points = 10 points) Future Technology: 5 ideas that are about to change our world! COLUMN A COLUMN B 20. You've heard of cultured "meat" and steaks grown cell by cell in a laboratory, but what about other animal-based foodstuffs? A growing number of biotech companies around the world are investigating lab-made milk, ice-cream, cheese and eggs. Compared with meat, milk isn't actually that difficult to create in a lab. Beyond that, researchers are working on lab-produced mozzarella that melts perfectly on top of a pizza, as well as other cheeses and ice-cream. A. Lost in Sound 21. Bionic eyes have been a mainstay of science fiction for decades, but now real-world research is beginning to catch up with far-sighted storytellers. A raft of technologies is coming to market that restore sight to people with different kinds of impairment. In 2020, Belgian scientists developed an artificial iris fitted to smart contact lenses that can correct a number of disorders. Scientists are even working on wireless brain implants that bypass the eyes altogether. B. Floating Farms 22. Using a single lead system printed into the fabric, this new product from a smart materials company can accurately measure your beats and upload them to the cloud via Bluetooth. Once there, algorithms process the data to accurately detect irregular blood beating through your body, which could prove lifesaving. And it's not just athletes who could benefit. "The possibilities this product offers both to sportspeople and the general public are astonishing" says Tim Brownstone, founder of the company. C. Artificial Vision 23. London's coffee industry creates over 200,000 tonnes of waste every year, so what do we do with it? Some scientists have proposed turning coffee waste into biofuel for heating buildings and powering transport. Already some of the world's largest recyclers of coffee waste have started collecting coffee grounds from large chains and restaurants and processing them to create products such as pellets or logs for biofuel. D. Bio-Bean Power 24. The UN predicts there will be two billion more people in the world by 2050, creating a demand for 70 per cent more food. But most food we eat in urban areas is brought in. So, plantations on the sea or inland lakes close to cities would certainly reduce food miles. A single plantation measuring 350 x 200m would produce an estimated 8.1 tonnes of vegetables and 1.7 tonnes of fish a year. E. Artificially Produced Products F. Heart Monitoring T-Shirt
