one part of the world to another in at least 5 minutes. The Internet is providing a lot of 
new business opportunities. Some businesses are advertising their products on the

 Prague has the population of over one million people. It is not the biggest city in

and the “Mother of Cities” because it has many beautiful buildings and statues. Perhaps 
the most popular building is the Old Town Hall with its amazing 15th century clock. 
People also call Prague “Europe’s school of music”. There are many concert halls and 
every May there is a famous music festival: “Prague’s Spring”. There are also twenty

 grammar and vocabulary, and fairly coherent expression of 
 relevant ideas. Response may exhibit some imprecise or inaccurate
