0 I Larry Walters was a lorry driver, but he had always wanted to fly After leaving school, he wanted to become an Air
Force pilot, but unfortunately, he was turned down because of his poor eyesight So he had to do with watching others fly the fighter jets that criss - crossed the skies over his backyard As he sat there in his garden chair, he dreamed about the magic of flying
1 ….Then one day, Larry came across an advertisement in the local paper and realized there was a way of making his
dreams come true He went to a specialist store and bought forty - five weather balloons and several tanks of helium These were not brightly - coloured party balloons, but large spheres measuring more than one metre when fully inflated His plan was
to float lazily into the sky, and spend the afternoon sunning himself 10m above his girlfriend's garden before eventually coming back down to earth
2….When he returned home, he attached the balloons to his garden chair, tied the chair to his car, and filled the balloons
with helium Then he packed a few sandwiches and drinks and took his air gun so that he could burst a few balloons when it was time to return to earth
3 When his preparations were complete, Larry sat in his chair and cut the cord But he made a mistake in his calculations
and things did not turn out quite as he had planned He did not float up as gently as he had expected: within seconds, he passed the 10m altitude that he had hoped to reach, rising quickly to 30m and then 300m he climbed and went on climbing until he finally levelled at 3,000m
4…At that height, he did not want to risk shooting any of the balloons because he was afraid it might unbalance his aircraft
and send him, crashing to the ground So he stayed up there among the clouds, sailing around for fourteen hours desperately trying to come up with a solution to the problem of how to get back to earth
5….Eventually, many hours later, he drifted into the main approach corridor for Los Angeles International Airport.
Fortunately, a Pan Am flight passed him and air traffic control was alerted The pilot explained that he had just seen an armed man floating in a garden chair at 3,000m just outside the plane
6….Understandably, the air traffic controller found this difficult to believe, but a few minutes later a Delta Airlines pilot
called with the same message Radar confirmed the existence of an unidentified flying object above the airport and the authorities sent for a Navy helicopter to investigate
7….As night began to fall, offshore breezes began to blow Larry out to sea, and when the helicopter arrives, the wind from
the propeller kept pushing his home - made aircraft further away Eventually, they hovered several hundred metres above him and managed to drop down a line, with which they were able to pull him gradually back to safety
8….As soon as Larry hit the ground, he was taken away by the police charged with invading Los Angeles' International
Airport airspace But as he was being led away in handcuffs, a television reported called out, "Why did you do it?" Larry
stopped, looked at the man and explained "I've been dreaming of flying for years I just got tired of waiting"

PART FIVE: MISTAKE CORRECTION
There are twenty mistakes in the following passage Find and correct them Give your answer in the box provided.
More and more women are now joining the pay labour force worldly They represent
the workforce in all the sectors which are expanding as the result of globalization - the
informal sector, included subcontracting; export processing or free trade zones;
homeworking; and the "flexible", part - time, temporary, lowly - paid labour force
Women's high participation in informal employment is partially due to the fact that
many jobs in the formal economy are not opening to them: they are actively excluded of
certain kinds of words lack access to education and training or have domestic
commitments The increase of women's participation in the informal sector has been most
marked in the countries like Sub - Saharan Africa which sharply economic decline and
structural adjustment policies have reduced the official job market drastically
Job gains for some women have meant losses for another Womanly employment in
export production is increased in Bangladesh, Vietnam and Al Salvador, for instance, while
women in South Korea, Taiwan, and Hong Kong are facing with redundancies as the
Trang 5industries which have relied on their labour for three decades (textile, clothing, shoe and
electronic) relocate elsewhere (In South Korea, industry which tend to employ mensteel,
petrochemicals, electricity, automobiles, shipbuild, machinery - have received government
subsidies to stay put)
