There are almost as many reasons for studying abroad as there are students. Some want to (32)mattress their CVs and increase their chances of employment after graduation. Some want to volunteer and help the (33)underprivileged people who live in poorer countries. Some want to learn a skill, so they attend specialized programs, like(34)agricultural field schools where they can participate in digs. Still others want to learn a language so they choose to live in a country where that language is spoken.These are all (35)frequently valid reasons for wanting to study abroad. Interestingly, students who only want the experience for their CVs will (36)choose programs that closer to home and less challenging. They aren't fully invested in the program and, unfortunately, the work these students perform often goes(37)bolster by the community in which theylive and work.On the other hands, students who want more than just the experience — those who truly want to help people and do good — often find and choose programs that are well (38)suited to their interests, despite their location and challenge. The work these students perform also(39)typically results in considerable good for their respective communities. Research has shown that, for students in this latter group, choosing an appropriate study-abroad program is a strong (40)bolster of future success in life.Your answer Correct answer(31) i vory tower ivory tower(32) m attress bolster(33) u nderprivileged underprivileged(34) a gricultural archaeological(35) f requently equally(36) typically(37) b olster unnoticed(38) s uited suited(39) t ypically frequently(40) b olster indicatorPart III: Reading ComprehensionQuestions 41 to 45 are based on thefollowing passage.Dear Mr. Gregory:I recently graduated from Oxford University and am interested in interviewing for the advertised position of Marketing Assistant with Blue Fish Graphics. I believe that Blue Fish Graphics is an ideal company where I can become a responsible and active participant in the growing field of graphic arts marketing. I am confident that my skills and experience speak for themselves and that my qualifications are a good match for this position.My extensive and diverse coursework at Oxford allowed me to gain a broad understanding of and appreciation for the industry in general and thecorporate goals and objectives of Blue Fish Graphics in particular. In addition to art history and marketing classes, I also studied arts management and was involved in several large-scale fundraising events on behalf of student organizations with which I was involved. These experiences taught me the importance of organization, communication, and flexibility. Often, ultimate responsibility for the effectiveness and success of the fundraising events fell to me. These rewarding experiences certainly paid off with the knowledge that I gained as a result.My previous summer work experience as a sales assistant for a local business provided me with a strong base of communication knowledge and helped me learn the importance of effective marketing strategies. I am willing and able to work on several projects at once, I can write about a diverse range of topics, I work quickly and efficiently, and I'm sure that I would be an asset to Blue Fish Graphics.I have included a copy of my CV which outlinesmy background and experience in greater detail. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns, and I look forward to speaking with you soon.Sincerely,David Jennings41.
