Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following weather forecast.
Here is the weather forecast.
Today, very wet and windy in Northern Europe.
You can see from the satellite picture that the highest temperatures, as they so often are, are in the southern parts of Europe, where it's also quite dry, particularly over the eastern parts of the Mediterranean.
The forecast suggests that it’s going to be quite cold over northwestern parts of Europe for the rest of the day, even some snow on the mountains.
So that's today’s weather, with showery conditions in many parts of Northern Europe, but the best of the sunshine in the south and throughout the Mediterranean, and pretty good but cool in the eastern parts of Europe too.
Now let's look at tomorrow's weather chart. Very much the same in the south except that the rain is starting to push down into the northern parts of the Mediterranean there. Elsewhere, staying fine in Eastern Europe and fine in central and eastern parts of the Mediterranean as well. But still wet and windy in many northwestern parts of Europe, and a bit cool too.

Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation
W: You need to make sure obtaining good health insurance before you set off next month. M: Well, is that a real necessity?
W: Sure. It will protect you from medical expenses that can wipe out not only your savings, but your dreams of an education abroad. M: What’s your advice?
4
W: There are two different types of health insurance you can consider buying: international travel
insurance and student health insurance in the country where you are going. M: What is the international travel insurance? It sounds I need to travel a lot.
W: It is usually purchased in your home country before you go abroad. It generally covers a wide variety of medical service, and you are often given a list of doctors in the area where you will travel who speak your native language.
M: That’s quite good! Sometimes native language works better! But what is its disadvantage?
W: It might be that you can’t get the compensation immediately. In other words, you may have to pay all your medical expenses and then get part of money back after you come back. M: That’s the regular practice for insurance companies. But it will be a heavy burden for me.
W: You have another choice, getting student health insurance in the country where you will study. This might allow you to only pay a certain percentage of the medical cost at the time of service, and thus, you don’t have to have sufficient cash to pay the entire bill at once. M: Well, that sounds great.
