SECTION 1 Questions 1-14<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>

Read the text below and answer Questions 1-8.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

Choosing the best sleeping bag<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>

When choosing a sleeping bag, check what seasons it\u2019s for, as well as how heavy it is if you\u2019re backpacking. Also think about the filling. Natural duck down is very warm, has a longer lifespan and is easier to pack up, while synthetic materials are easier to clean, and they dry quicker and are cheaper.<\/span><\/p>

A.<\/strong> Vango Fuse -12<\/span>
This all-year-round sleeping bag combines natural duck down and a new synthetic fibre. The result is a bag that\u2019s warm and weighs 1.5kg. There\u2019s a water-resistant finish to protect it from moisture.<\/span><\/p>

B.<\/strong> Outwell Campion Lux Double Sleeping Bag<\/span>
This double sleeping bag – which is suitable for all seasons except winter \u2013 is soft and cosy, and there\u2019s a handy pocket for essentials, located inside near the top. It also folds up remarkably small, given its size.<\/span><\/p>

C.<\/strong> Nordisk Oscar +10<\/span>
At just 350g, this sleeping bag is remarkably light, and as it\u2019s synthetic, it\u2019s very easy to maintain. The pack size is just 13\u00d7 20cm, which makes it ideal for backpacking. It will work perfectly for summer trekking.<\/span><\/p>

D.<\/strong> The Big Sleep 250GSM Single Cowl Sleeping<\/span>
If you want a no-frills, budget sleeping bag that will last more than one summer, opt for this. It\u2019s soft, comfy and simple to wash. Give yourself a bit of time to fit it back in the bag, though. Use it for spring, summer and autumn.<\/span><\/p>

E.<\/strong> Jack Wolfskin Smoozip +3<\/span>
We like the extra insulation in this sleeping bag around the areas that tend to feel the cold (head, chest and feet). And the hood is cosy enough to use as a pillow.<\/span><\/p>

F.<\/strong> Vango Starwalker Dragon<\/span>
This innovative, high-quality kids’ sleeping bag enables you to undo some zips and turn it into a fun, animal-themed coat. Once your youngster is ready for bed, simply zip the bottom back on and zip up the shoulders. Suitable for between 8 and 20 degrees Celsius.<\/span><\/p>

G.<\/strong> Outwell conqueror<\/span>
This sleeping bag has an integrated down duvet and lots of space. What\u2019s more, it packs up compactly and is easy to get back in the bag. It\u2019s light but too big for a rucksack.<\/span><\/p>

For the purposes of the Prize, Life Writing is defined as non-fiction and should be based on a significant portion from the author\u2019s own experience. Traditional biographies, where the piece is only about the experience of someone else, are excluded.<\/span><\/p>

Writers only submit one entry each. Multiple entries by the same author will result in only the first entry being considered for the Prize and any additional entries disqualified. Writers who have previously won or been highly commended in the Life Writing Prize are excluded from entering; otherwise, previous entrants may submit.<\/span><\/p>

Entries must be the original, previously unpublished work of the entrant. Graphic novel-style entries, where drawings or photographs accompany text, are welcome. Entries can be self-contained pieces of life writing, or the first 5,000 words of a longer piece of work.<\/span><\/p>

The Life Writing Prize is open to writers aged over 18 and resident in the UK who are emerging writers, which means they have not previously published in print a full-length work. We define a full-length work as, for example, a complete work of fiction or non-fiction over 30 000 words.<\/span><\/p>

Entries that are simultaneously submitted elsewhere are welcome – but please let us know as soon as possible if a piece is to be published elsewhere or has won another prize so we can disqualify it from the Life Writing Prize.

SECTION 2 Questions 15-27<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>

Read the text below and answer Questions 15-21.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

Encouraging employees to be healthy: a guide for employers<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>

Benefits<\/span><\/strong>
Putting effort into employee wellness can reduce absenteeism and encourage better teamwork in the workplace, as well as increased productivity. Once you\u2019ve devised a program, continue to assess the outcomes and regularly survey your team to gather feedback.<\/span><\/p>

Focus on general prevention<\/span><\/strong>
Consider offering flu vaccinations on site and look at offering employees incentives on health insurance. Some companies arrange for someone who specialises in health issues, such as a doctor, to visit the workplace and speak to employees.<\/span><\/p>

Encourage a healthier diet<\/span><\/strong>
Most of us know that eating healthily can help prevent future diseases, but many are not aware that unhealthy eating is linked to a 66 percent increased risk of loss of productivity. It may be necessary to consciously develop a healthy food and drink workplace policy, including a healthy catering policy. A simple thing to do is substitute soda in any on-site vending machines with water or juice. Also investigate the nutritional value of food supplied for team meetings and work events. Consider putting a bowl of fruit out in the staff room and urge everyone to help themselves for free. You can encourage employees to bring in healthy lunches from home by making sure that there is a fridge in the break room.<\/span><\/p>

Encourage more exercise<\/span><\/strong>
Encouraging employees to exercise needn\u2019t be expensive as there are plenty of low-cost methods available. These might include: installing racks for bikes in your staff car park; encouraging employees to take part in fun runs and charity events; suggesting ‘walking meetings\u2019 where people discuss business as they get fresh air and exercise; and putting in showers to assist those who ride or run to the workplace. Some companies negotiate group rates for their employees at a nearby gym.<\/span><\/p>

Improve mental health<\/span><\/strong>
Recent reports have shown that ignoring mental health costs Australian companies at least $11 billion a year. We all have a responsibility to look out for one another. Some ways you can do this in the workplace include: running employee surveys to get valuable information on morale in the workplace; training managers on mental health strategies; offering rebates so employees are compensated for counselling if required; and refusing to accept any bullying and unprofessional behaviour in your workplace.<\/span><\/p>

Read the text below and answer Questions 28-40.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

A home-sewing revival: the return of Clothkits<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>

In the 1970s, Clothkits revolutionised home sewing. Later, a woman from Sussex, England, revived the nostalgic brand and brought it up to date<\/span><\/p>

A<\/strong>. I can\u2019t remember many of the clothes I wore before I was six, but I have a vivid memory of a certain skirt whose patterns I can still trace in my mind. It was wraparound, with a belt that threaded through itself, decorated with cats in two shades of green. I wore it with a knitted red jersey my mum bought in a jumble sale, and brown sandals with flowers cut into the toes. It was 1979, and I was not yet five. I forgot about that skirt for a long time, but when a girlfriend mentioned the name Clothkits while we were chatting, it was as if a door suddenly opened on a moment in the past that resonated with vivid significance for me.\u2019 The brand, founded in 1968, had by the late 1980s mostly vanished from people\u2019s lives, but by a combination of determination and luck Kay Mawer brought it back.<\/span><\/p>

B<\/strong>. Clothkits was created by the designer Anne Kennedy, who came up with the ingenious idea of printing a pattern straight on to coloured fabric so that a paper pattern was not needed. It was accompanied by instructions that almost anyone could follow on how to cut the pieces out and sew them together. \u2019I was rebelling against the formulaic lines of textile design at that time,\u2019 Kennedy says. \u2019My interest was in folk art and clothes that were simple to make as I had lots of unfinished sewing disasters in my cupboard.\u2019 Clothkits has always embodied the spirit of the late 1960s and 1970s. Its initial design was a dress in a geometric stripe in orange, pink, turquoise and purple. It cost 25 shillings (\u00a31 .25), and after it was featured in the Observer newspaper, Kennedy received more than \u00a32,000 worth of orders. She ran the company from Lewes in Sussex, where at its peak it employed more than 400 people, selling to 44 countries worldwide. Sew-your-own kits formed the core of the business, supplemented by knitwear. Kennedy\u2019s children demonstrated the patterns by wearing them in photographs.<\/span><\/p>

C<\/strong>. Kennedy sold the company in the late 1980s. There had been a few administrative problems with postal strikes and a new computer system, which back then took up an entire room,\u2019 but the times were changing as well,\u2019 she says. \u2019More women were going out to work and sewing less for their children. ‘ She sold the company to one of her suppliers, who then sold it on to Freeman\u2019s, which ran Clothkits alongside its own brand for a while, using Kennedy\u2019s impressive database, but its ethos as a big, corporate company did not sit well alongside the alternative and artistic values of Clothkits. In 1991, Clothkits was made dormant, and there the story might have ended, were it not for Mawer\u2019s fascination with discovering what happened to Clothkits.<\/span><\/p>

D<\/strong>. Mawer\u2019s mother bought her a sewing machine when she was ten and taught her basic pattern-cutting and garment construction, encouraging her to experiment with colour and design by trial and error. The first garment Mawer made was a pair of trousers, which she made by tracing around an existing pair of trousers. In her late twenties, she spent five years working on digital and sculptural installations.\u2019 It was an amazing, mind-expanding experience, but I knew it was unlikely I could make a living as a practising artist. I was definitely looking for a way that I could work in a creative industry with a commercial edge.\u2019 The experience inspired Mawer to return to education, studying for a degree in fine art at the University of Chichester. Her passion for vintage fabric, which her mother had encouraged her to start collecting, led her back to Clothkits, and from there to a journey into the heart of Freeman\u2019s. Negotiations with the company took 18 months, but in October 2007 Clothkits was hers.<\/span><\/p>

E<\/strong>. The ethos of Clothkits remains the same, and Mawer is proud that her fabric is printed either in London or the north of England, and that packaging is kept to an absolute minimum. \u2019l wanted to feel that everyone involved in the brand, from design to production, was part of a process I could witness. I couldn\u2019t see the point of manufacturing on the other side of the world, as that\u2019s not what Clothkits has ever been about.\u2019 The revival of Clothkits has also, of course, coincided with a growing sense of dissatisfaction at our disposable society, and the resulting resurgence of interest in skills such as sewing and knitting. \u2019Making your own clothes gives you a greater appreciation of the craftsmanship in the construction of a garment,\u2019 Mawer says. \u2019When you know the process involved in making a skirt, you treasure it in a way you wouldn\u2019t if you’d bought it from a mass-producing manufacturer.\u2019<\/span><\/p>
