b. Read the following passage and fill each numbered blank with ONE suitable word. Write your
answers in the box below.
Speech is one of the most important __________(1) of communicating. It consists of far more than just
making noises. To talk and also to be __________(2) by other people, we have to speak a language, that is,

after the beautiful areas it owns.
Common sense. (1) _______. "And you definitely need to good at handling people, because you're
continually dealing with farmers, visitors, conservationists and building firms."
(2)_______. About 80 people applied for the post as National Trust Warden for the Lleyn
Peninsula. In the end, Gareth's local knowledge and farming experience won him the job, despite his lack
of formal training.
"I find it particularly helpful that I still farm with my parents and that I can deal with farmers on the
same level and be aware of their problems. (3)_______. His farming life also means he is well able to cope
with the physical demands of the job - erecting fences, planting trees, building walls.
Since he has been with the Trust, Gareth says he has come to understand more about nature
conservation. "When I was a youngster," he recalls, "I used to pick and press flowers, collect butterfly
larvae and old birds' nests. And I thought to myself recently, where would I find all those flowers, the
birds' nests the grasshoppers now? (4)_______. It's not the farmers' fault - they were just doing what the
government told them."
Gareth says that, when he started his job, farmers and conservationists were set against each other.
Both sides wanted things done their way. Now they are talking and can see each other's point of view.
(5)_______. 10
Conservation is one of the main aspects of Gareth's work, along with public entry to the Trust's
land, tree planting and maintenance, and meeting the Trust's tenant farmers. "My role is to make sure jobs
get finished, with as little fuss and as economically as possible. What I enjoy most is seeing projects
completed, although about half my time is spent on reports, signing bills and so on."
Gareth is certainly keen on his job and despite never being off duty, he obviously enjoys every
minute of his work, especially talking to the public. (6)_______. "It's the attitude of some people I dislike,"
he admits. "They just walk into the area, demand everything, then walk out again as if it's their absolute
right. Having to be nice to those people gets on my nerves!"
But as Gareth says, it's all down to common sense really. So if you've got plenty of that, and you
like the idea of an outdoor job, you might think of applying to become a warden like Gareth - but don’t
