For seven years I lived in Singapore, a 1____________ of almost three million people. Like London, Paris and New York, Singapore is a 2_________ city, with people from different parts of the world living and working together. I enjoyed the 3 ___________ lifestyle I led there, and made the most of the superb 4_______ , ranging from the excellent shops to some of the best restaurants in the world. In the evenings and at weekends there were always 5_____________________ ; with such diverse attractions as classical western music, an exhibition of Malay art or a Chinese opera in the Street, It was difficult to get bored. Perhaps most impressive, however,was the remarkable transport 6 __________________ , with excellent roads, a swift and efficient bus service and a state-of-the-art underground system which could whisk 7_________ from the suburbs straight into the heart of the city (this was particularly important, as the government banned private cars from entering the 8________ during the morning and afternoon 9____________ in order to reduce 10_______ on the roads and 11 __________ from the exhausts).

Of course, living in a city like this has its disadvantages as well. For a start, the 12_____________ can be very high - renting an apartment, for example, is very expensive. And as the city is expanding, there are a lot of 13_________ where new apartments are continually being built to deal with the 14_____________ which is a direct result of the government encouraging people to have more children.

Fortunately, Singapore doesn’t suffer from problems that are common in many cities such as 15_________ , which is partly the result of the government imposing very severe penalties on anyone bringing narcotics into the country, so it is safe to walk the streets at night. In fact, the 16________ housing estates there are probably the safest and most orderly in the world.

Singapore wouldn’t be ideal for everyone, however, especially if you come from the countryside and are used to a 17_________ lifestyle. The traditional villages that were once common have disappeared as the residents there realised there were no 18______________ for their future and moved into new government housing in
the city. Nowadays, there is very  little 19________ around the city, which means that Singapore imports almost all of its food.And despite a ‘green’ approach to city planning, the 20_____________ which  has eaten into the countryside has had a detrimental effect on the 21_______________.

Good evening, and welcome to today’s edition of ‘Today in Government’.

There were angry scenes in both 1 __________ of Parliament today following an unprecedented walkout by the Prime Minister and other members of his 2_____ during a speech by the leader of the 3________ . Criticising their 4__________ on law and order, the Prime Minister called his opposite number a ‘strict 5_________ who wants to take away the freedom of the individual and turn the country from a freedom-loving 6________to a 7_______ run by one man.’

It’s almost time for the people of country X to vote again and it is now only one month until the 8_____________.

Members of Parliament have called for a 12________ so that the people of country X can decide whether or not the country joins the ‘One World’ organisation. This follows a survey in the town of HappyTown, the Prime Minister’s own 13_________.
The Ministry of Education was accused by the press today of employing too many 14_________ Patrick Huston, editor of the Daily News, defended his attack. ‘It’s no good having a department full of computer experts if they are unable to run our schools properly, he said.
Tom Mathews, a senior statesman for country X at the World Commission, has called for World Union member states to impose strict economic 15__________ on the government of country Y. This follows alleged human rights abuses on tribesmen in the north of the country who are demanding 16_________. Their leader, Carl Hews, called on countries around the world to help them in their struggle for freedom.
