I. COMPRÉHENSION ÉCRITE (6 points)
I’m Boshra Chibou, I’m a 16 year-old girl and this is a big year for me. When I finish my GCSE’s* at the
end of year 11, I will continue my studies, go to college and hopefully to university, depending on my marks.
I’ll study business.
The area where I live is considered “disadvantaged” but our school is new and beautiful and we have lots of
computers. We were the first school in London to be named a Business and Enterprise College.

I start classes at 8:45 a.m. and finish at 3:30 p.m. My friends and I have business meetings at lunch time, for
Young Enterprise.
The subjects I am studying for my GCSE’s are English, Science, Maths, Computer Technology and
Religious Education. These subjects are compulsory. My personal choices are French, Technology, Drama
and Business Studies which is the Young Enterprise programme.

I am the Finance Director of our Young Enterprise fashions company, “East Style”. It was a hobby for us
before. We make our own clothes and we are friends, that’s why we chose it as a project. I am very good at
Maths, so I am finance director. We have five Operations Directors who make the clothes and we also make
bags and cushion covers. We work after school, on weekends and during holidays.
It’s hard work but I am interested in Business Studies. My friends can use this experience as a reference for
15 work or for university but mostly they got into this to help me out.
