Read the texts from a magazine article in which five persons talked about their attitude to helping the people in developing countries. For question 61 to 65, match the name of each person (61 to 65) to one of the statements given below, which is the summary of his or her speech. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.
Sharon Hill:
When the fire began I was on the fourth floor. I smelled the smoke, panicked and ran to the staircase. I was already in flames. I looked for a fire escape but there wasn’t one. So I climbed through a window and down a drainpipe. I was lucky to escape. The place was a death trap. No sooner had I come out of the drainpipe than I heard the fire engines whistling in. It was too late. The hotel was completely on fire then. I saw some guests jumping out of the hotel windows. People were crying and shouting. That was a terrible scene.
Tom Bell:
There was a complete lack of safety precautions. I was shocked. The building should never been used as a hotel. There were no tire escapes or emergency exits. None of the regulations were adhered to. The only staircase was made of wood. There wasn’t even an alarm system. I’ve never seen such a badly designed building. The hotel management has been negligent, as my assessment makes this quite clear. The hotel was without any form of lire-prevention. It wouldn’t have cost much to install a lire escape, an alarm system and a few fire extinguishers. If they had taken these precautions this tragedy wouldn’t have happened. Their negligence has resulted in the deaths of 31 people and great suffering to hundred more. They will be held responsible and will have to pay compensation to all those people.
Frieda Corbett:
I certainly do not accept responsibility. I did not start the lire. I suggest you find the idiot who left a lighted cigarette on his bed and ask him why he did such a daft thing. This hotel was built with the knowledge and approval of the City Planning Department. If they thought the design was bad they should have told us then. Making safety regulations is their job, not mine.
Harry Bright:
This hotel was built 20 year ago. Safety standards were much lower then. It should have been inspected — it should have been closed — five years ago when the regulations were tightened, but it wasn’t. Our office deals mainly with new buildings and we have neither the time to inspect, nor the right to close unsafe old buildings like this one. I hope that as a result of the tragedy, the Government will decide to create special lire department, with powers to close all hotels, theatres and other public buildings which don’t satisfy the latest safety standards. It must be done soon. Otherwise, I will resign.
James Hurst:
Who is responsible for this tragedy? The idiot who started the fire? The hotel owners who were too stingy to pay for some alterations which would have prevented the tragedy? The city office which allowed the hotel to be built in the first place and failed to inspect it afterwards? They must all share the responsibility. But what really worries me is that there are probably thousands of other hotels just like this one. The Government must make strict new safety regulations and make sure that every hotel in the country is inspected. Hotel owners who deliberately ignore the regulations should be punished severely.
Now match each of the persons (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement.
Note: there are two extra statements.
Statements
[A] The hotel guest who started fire should be held responsible, not me, the manageress.
[B] As the head of The City Planning Department, I will resign as a result of the tragedy.
[C] We should urge the Government to take more strict measures to prevent things like this from happening again.
[D] Fire engines should come as early as possible to save people in fire.
[E] A new department should be set up and should be given more power so that it can deal with such problems.
[F] As the chief of the local fire brigade, I inspected the hotel and the bad design of the building without any safety precaution shocked me.
[G] I was one of the guests in file hotel who were lucky enough to survive.
