TASK 1: BANKSY (14 points)
You are going to read an article about Banksy, the celebrated graffiti artist. Seven
paragraphs have been removed from the article. Choose from paragraphs B-J the one which
best fits each gap (1-7). There are two extra paragraphs that you do not need to use. Write
your answers ON THE ANSWER SHEET provided. The first gap (0) is an example.
BANKSY: UNRAVELLING THE STORY OF THE MYSTERY MAN “Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask and he will tell you the truth.” Oscar Wilde _____(0) A_ _ A world-renowned mystery man, a man who can make you a millionaire if he chooses your wall to paint on, Banksy is arguably the most spoken about street artist of the age. _____1. _ ____ He could be an individual or an organisation who secretively transforms street walls into magnificent murals that shine a light on the dark side of consumerism and capitalism. The most remarkable of his art techniques is the use of stencils which he developed as a means of quick graffiti. _____2._____ The story of how he came up with this idea is also an interesting one. Now, the basis of his said history relies on rumours and speculations, often with him suspiciously being quoted as the source. But, nonetheless, the story goes. Banksy left school when he was very young (some suggest that he was expelled from his school). He grew up in the Barton Hill district of Bristol, which was quite scary at the time. When he was 18, he once tried to paint a train with his mates, and they were raided by the British Transport Police. _____3._____ He goes on to recall, “As I lay there listening to the cops on the tracks, I realised I had to cut my time in half or give it up altogether. I was staring straight up at the stencilled plate on the bottom of the fuel tank when I realized I could just copy that style and make each letter three feet high.” The masked evangelist of street art and freedom of expression has successfully kept his identity a secret, but people have certain theories of who he could be. The most popular guess has been that he is a man that goes by the name of Robin Gunningham. Nonetheless, his art, even though being controversial and satirical in nature of the society, is highly appreciated by art connoisseurs all around the world. In recent accomplishments, his latest work Devolved Parliament was auctioned in London at £9.9 million on October 3 rd^ 2019. But none of these auctions are held with Banksy’s consent. _____4._____ This movement came into light when his 2004 graffiti named Kissing Coppers , which he painted in Brighton, was sold in 2014 at $575,000 at an auction in the USA. This was also observed when his internationally reputed graffiti Slave Labor [Bunting Boy] on a public wall in London disappeared one night and was sold in the USA for around $500,000 – $700,000. _____ 5. _____ Unfortunately, none of this money went to Banksy. And neither does he want it. He condemns that his artwork is prey to consumerism and is sold at auctions. But he also has his way to make people aware of his disapproval of such acts. In a 2018 Sotheby’s auction of his most reputed sketch Girl with Balloon in London, the painting self-shred inside the frame as soon as it was sold. And it was sold for about $1.1 million! Nonetheless, Banksy still needs to earn his bread and butter. And he does that through Pest Control, a handling service acting on behalf of the artist. _____ 6. _____ A few days earlier, Banksy opened a pop-up homewares store in Croydon named ‘Gross Domestic Product’. The store was opened to tackle a lawsuit against Banksy by a greeting cards company to seize legal custody of his name. And to prevent this, he was advised to sell his own range of branded merchandise. _____ 7. _____ Or he shall forever be immortalised in history as the anonymous artist. And who knows, he might have a disciple who will be taking his title or at least carrying forward his legacy.

TASK 2: IBIZA (12 points)
You will read some texts about exploring Ibiza. Match statements 1-12 to texts B-J. Statement
0 is an example. Write your answers ON THE ANSWER SHEET provided. Remember that each
text may be chosen more than once and that each statement corresponds to only one text.
TEXTS
A
Colourful kaftans, handmade beaded leather belts, woven sunhats and designer flip-flops and shades — chic bohemian style has become synonymous with Ibiza. Ibiza's Dalt Vila (Old Town) is a good place for a shopping spree, with boutiques down cobbled alleyways selling all manner of crafted goods.
B
The island’s carefree spirit attracts yogis and wellness gurus looking to unwind and connect with their inner selves and with nature. Whether you celebrate your private practice on the beach or spend a week at a retreat, you are in the right place to find bliss. Several yoga studios host retreats focused on daily practice, workshops, teacher training, and revitalization therapy. So if you are sick and tired of your hectic lifestyle, it might be time to give it a shot.
C
Fearless travelers in need of adventures on the water can try flyboarding, parasailing, and jet skiing, but nothing beats racing off a cliff and plunging feet first into the island’s crystal-clear waters. The west coast coves of Cala Tarida and Cala Bassa are popular spots for diving. After catching your breath from all the activity, relax on the white sand beaches with a well-deserved cocktail. The company Rockid Ibiza Outdoor arranges excursions around the island including cliff-jumping with instructors.
D
Finding the right lodging is key. Though there are charming hotels on the island, the best way to stay is definitely a house rental, and the company to use is Deliciously Sorted Ibiza. Owned by in-the- know Brit Serena Cook, the company reps a range of houses from the affordable family home we rented to drop-dead estates that draw celebrity clientele. Their concierge service stocked our kitchen, booked our restaurants, arranged the world’s best babysitter and even got us a discount on a rental car handing us the keys in the airport upon arriving — no waiting in line.
E
Despite its glitzy reputation as the ultimate European destination for clubbers, Ibiza offers much more than an endless party. With a documented history that dates back at least as far as the Phoenicians in 654 B.C., the island has learned UNESCO World Heritage status not only for culture, but for biodiversity as well. It remains a bastion of idyllic beaches and pine forests, plus it’s full of architectural landmarks.
F
There's a growing atmosphere of exclusiveness, with many new venues catering for those who want to let their hair down in unashamed luxury. Perhaps this is due to the new wave of immigrants — Elle Macpherson, Jade Jagger and James Blunt all have secluded villas here — and the fact that those who partied during the Club Tropicana years have grown up (somewhat) and now want to indulge in sushi and Champagne rather than a bag of chips and bottle of Estrella.

G
Blending Moorish and medieval styles, Dalt Vila, or Old Town, is a labyrinth of narrow, cobbled streets which offers a glimpse of yesteryear. You should also make your way toward Eivissa Castle, Eivissa’s most renowned landmark. Interestingly, this UNESCO site was constructed over a thousand- year period and it’s got the former governor’s residence, some military barracks, and a gatehouse tower for you to visit.
H
For relaxing pristine sandy, Caribbean-style beaches, jump the ferry to nearby Formentera— Ibiza’s chill little sister —which is far too beautiful to miss. Its gorgeous beaches and its calm, shallow water are ideal for even the smallest tots to play; and although some beaches may be a bit busy, these kids also love the vendors who walk the beach chopping up fresh pineapple and coconut. Also, make sure you look to the easternmost tip of the island to find a picture-perfect spot with sweeping ocean views, plunging cliffs, and El Faro de la Mola, the tallest and oldest lighthouse on the island.
I
You’d better climb Ibiza’s highest peak, Sa Talaia, for peak views of traditional whitewashed Ibicenco homes, verdant pine forests, and panoramas of Sant Antoni Bay. Start the trek to the summit—roughly 5.5 miles round trip—a few hours before dusk to watch the sky turn a beautiful kaleidoscope of purples, pinks, and yellows as the sun sinks below the horizon. Before beginning the trek, veer off Sa Talaia Street to visit the Can Jeroni Cultural Center for exhibitions featuring regional paintings, sculptures, and photography.
J
No one should miss Balafia, set in a pretty grove of lemon trees. There’s no menu, just the freshest tomato salad and the most savory seafood you could want. Another day we hit El Clodenis, in San Rafael. Here, under olive trees in the peaceful walled garden of an old finca, grilled meat with a good red has never tasted better. Not only was the food delicious, but there was a small playground for toddlers.
