I think men are better at solving mathematical
problems because they are better at thinking
logically.
or
I think women are better at solving
mathematical problems because they are more
patient and take the time to think things
through.
3 Possible answer
On the recording, Ashley James believes that
boys do better at maths because they concentrate
harder than girls as they get older and because
maths is still seen as a male subject. Kathy
Manchester believes that women are less
confident than men because, at school, girls are
not expected to do well at maths as boys. She
thinks girls are better at solving problems,
however.

Part 1
Presenter Good afternoon. Our first item in todays
programme looks at the subject of
mathematics and asks Whos better at it:
boys or girls? Lets start by asking a
teacher. Ashley James, youve been a
maths teacher for over ten years. How
would you answer this question?
Ashley James Well, Jean, in my experience Id say
there isnt as great a difference as people
think, but as children get older, boys seem
to concentrate harder. Early on, girls have
the same ability, but its still the case that
girls tend not to continue with maths
after they leave school and go on to
higher education. The unfortunate truth is
that people still think of maths as a male
subject.
Presenter Thank you, Ashley. That certainly was my
own experience. When I was at school
girls were not supposed to be as good as
boys at maths. For Kathy Manchester,
however, this theory doesnt actually add
up. Kathys a researcher on the popular TV

Informal letter
1 Key
a The letter must mention that Nicky is invited
to the wedding, that she can bring a friend,
the time and place of the wedding, that she
needs to reply (RSVP), and that the wedding
list can be found on the Internet.
b The style should be informal Nicky is a
friend of yours.
2 Key
The style is too formal in places. The writer has
used an impersonal tone occasionally (She has
requested that an invitation be passed on to you),
passive verbs (be passed on to you), single-word
verbs (purchasing), and polite phrases (Yours
sincerely). The writer has also forgotten to give
details of the location of the wedding.
