Jack La
r
k
When I participated in the Junior Masterchef Australia I got to meet
leading food producers in Tasmania and travelled around the world
to culinary events, including a recent food challenge in Hong Kong.
I started cooking seriously when I was nine, after watching the movie Julie and Julia. When I asked my
mother’s permission to enter Junior Masterchef, she didn’t give it much thought before signing the form.
The next thing I knew, I was on TV and some schoolmates started to call me “Masterchef boy”. I have
been enjoying my globetrotting adventures, in particular a visit to London last year to savour my idol’s
culinary creations. Blumenthal, who runs The Fat Duck in Bray, invited me to dine at his three Michelin star
restaurant.
With my Junior Masterchef experience, people keep asking me if I hope to become a professional chef. It’s
sort of a tricky question because I’m not sure 100 percent what I want to be. I love cooking and it’s always
going to be an option. Then again, so is forensic science. But if I were to become a chef, I reckon my kitchen
would always combine food and science — just like my idol Heston Blumenthal.

Tales of a Reformed Troll:
Issy Was a
Cyberbul
In January 2014, I was convicted of sending offensive tweets to
Caroline Perez. On the twenty fourth of that month, I was sentenced
to twelve weeks imprisonment. From then on I was branded a
“Twitter troll”. However, the correct term to describe my actions is
bullying. I’ve been asked countless times why I sent the tweets. To
be honest I’ve asked myself the same question just as many times.
At the time of sending the tweets I was under the influence of a lot
of alcohol but I think that to simply blame drink is an easy excuse.
Another reason why I sent those tweets was because a lot of other
people were also doing so. So I simply did the same. What I made
my victim feel is something hard to swallow. I guess the combination
of alcohol and Twitter gave the perfect recipe for sending abuse.
Those ten minutes of vile, horrific tweeting has in fact ruined my life. Once the case came to court, and
it came out in the press what I had tweeted, I instantly lost my job. The fact that the case was so widely
reported in the media also had a massive effect on my family, and in particular my parents. Not only did I
lose my job because of the “trolling”, I also lost my flat. So once I got out of prison, I had nothing, no job
or no home to turn to.
Honestly I don’t think I should have been sent to prison. I personally feel that education is needed rather
than punishment. I think I should have been offered help with my drink issue rather than serve a short
time in prison.
I know what I did was wrong and if I could take the time back I would never have done it. Yes at the time
it did ruin my life and I have to live with that label for the rest of my life. However, it will not define me. I’m
writing this as a warning. What you put on social media can land you in a lot of trouble. Simply think before
you tweet.

I got my first set of turntables and headphones as a birthday
present and I started DJing for my friends.
Interviewer: What do you do as a DJ?
Roger: First of all I have to keep up with the latest hits and
that takes a lot of time, then when I am working in clubs,
discos, parties or festivals I get to play records and CDs and

Part 4
Now turn to part 4, questions 20 to 25.
You will hear a conversation between a girl, Alice and
a boy, Alex about tattoos. Decide if each sentence is
correct or incorrect. If it is correct, choose the letter A
for YES. If it is not correct, choose the letter B for NO.
You now have 20 seconds to look at the questions for
part 4.
Now we are ready to start. Listen carefully. You will
hear the recording twice.
Alice: So Alex, are you for or against having tattoos done?
Alex: Tattoos are cool and are a way of expressing your
individuality. Why don’t you get one done?
Alice: No way! I think tattoos are ugly and they are
dangerous because they can damage your skin. Sometimes
you just do it because it’s fashionable.
Alex: Well, getting a permanent tattoo is a big decision and
shouldn’t be made lightly and it certainly shouldn’t be the
result of peer pressure. Anyway, you don’t have to cover your
whole body with tattoos. I don’t find that attractive but just
one carefully chosen can mean a lot.
Alice: I really can’t agree with you. Even if you get just one
done what happens if you regret it later? Besides, tattoos may
become an addiction and people can’t stop having them done.
Alex: Well, I have a small tattoo and I didn’t get addicted.
I love my tattoo. As long as you choose the tattoo design
carefully I am sure you won’t need to have it removed. I think
it’s your life, so it’s a personal decision.
Alice: Yes, you’re right. It really is your own business.
Now listen again.
You now have six minutes to check and copy your
answers on to the answer sheet.
This is the end of the test.
