Here is one of their replies
My collection composed of ordinary wooden pencils. Altogether I
have three thousands - almost all of them were bought new here in
UK, but some come from the US, Europe, South Africa, Australia and
even Russia. I am not very focus - I buy pretty well every pencil that I
see, included souvenir pencils and promotional pencils. As well as many,
many new pencils, the Internet has enabled me to get a hold of a large
number of old pencils - mainly by swaps. In the US, it's also relative
common to find old pencils in street markets or the like.

TRAFFIC
(57) ---------- opinion surveys show that people are becoming increasingly concerned about a
range of problems associated (58) ---------- traffic. It is clear from simple observation that the
traffic on our streets is increasing dramatically year by year. It is also a fact that many drivers
don't observe the speed (59) ---------- in operation in the town centres. In fact, most drivers go
considerably faster.

Another is to stop (64) ---------- building of out-of-town shopping centres, which people rely

HOW TO DO WELL IN EXAMS
Do not underestimate the power of revision in the days and hours before an examination. The
closer you are to the exam, the more chance you have of storing and retaining crucial
information. But do not overdo it. 67. -------------- An effective daily routine can help you
through an exam period, so in the days leading up to your first exam, get into the habit of
being up and ready to work by 9 a.m. It can be a shock to the system after months of working
to your own timetable to be mentally alert at that time if you have not prepared for it.
On the day of the exam, have a good breakfast, pack two of everything you need (pens,
pencils, erasers, etc.), then make your way to the examination hall in good time. 68. ---------Once in your seat, simply pause for a few seconds and collect your thoughts. 69. -------------When you tum over the test paper, spend a short period reading through all the instructions
and questions, paying particular attention to key verbs such as 'discuss', 'compare' and
'evaluate'. 70. --------------It is wise always to allow for 10 minutes at the end of the exam to
give yourself time to go back over your answers. Once you have selected the questions you
wish to tackle, begin by attempting the one you think is your strongest. It will give you more
confidence when you see a well-answered question down on paper. 71. -------------72. --------If you do need something else to focus on to help collect your thoughts,
choose a fixture in the room, such as the ceiling - or anything else that will not allow you to
be distracted.
Finally, once you have finished, never hang around outside afterwards to attend the inevitable
post-mortem by other students. 73. -------------VI.
