Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 28 to 32.
What is life like for today's students? As the university and college terms began, I talked to a few students about
their lives. Sarah James is a second year biology student. "Money is a big problem," said Sarah. "I can eat quite cheaply
at the university, but I spend quite a lot on transport. I also spend quite a lot on clothes, as I like to wear things that are
in fashion." Colin Peters, who is studying engineering, disagrees. "I don't spend anything on clothes," he said, /'unless
you count climbing boots. I'm very keen on climbing, and you do need special equipment, some of which is very
expensive. Luckily, my parents gave me money for my birthday in November. Not much of my money goes on transport,
because I have a bicycle." Diana Bell is a first year fashion student. "I make all my own clothes. This should save me
money, but in fact, the materials are very expensive. I don't know how I would manage if I didn't sell some of the
dresses and hats I make to the other students. Everything is expensive," she said. "That includes the rent, food, transport
and heating for the flat in winter." Jack is a science student in his final year. "What do I spend my money on?" Well, not
on clothes, and not a lot on going out in the evening. My rent is expensive, and I suppose I spend quite a lot on books.
