Exercise 2
Read the following article about how human activity is threatening the natural world, and then answer
the questions on the opposite page.
MAKE ROOM FOR ALL SPECIES

Humans have more than doubled in number in half a century and that is why there is
less room for other species. People are taking other species’ living space to grow their
food and taking other species’ food to feed themselves. People are exploiting nature,
trading in it and squeezing it to the edge of existence and beyond. Often the choice
is hard: should money be spent on saving species or on feeding people?
Recently the World Conservation Union said that more than 12,000 species faced the
risk of extinction. This includes one bird in eight, 13% of the world’s flowering plants and
25% of all mammals.
Trees help humans by absorbing carbon dioxide; this is the main greenhouse gas
given off by human activity. Many other species help keep humans alive. They purify
water, fix nitrogen, recycle nutrients and waste, and pollinate crops. Plants and
bacteria carry out photosynthesis, which produces the oxygen we breathe.

Tropical cone snails contain toxins which may well be able to treat some forms of
cancer and heart problems. One toxin may be a thousand times more powerful for pain
relief than the drug morphine. But millions of cone snails are now killed annually for their
shells and their habitats are under threat. Most conservation effort aims at protecting
birds and mammals, creatures like the panda. Yet it could be said that little species are
just as important, like soil microbes, for example. They’re the least known species of all.
Nature has its own design and human beings should respect this. In the Amazon
Rainforest, for example, brazil nuts grow extremely well but an experiment to produce
them in plantations failed because the trees only produce a good crop in the forest.
Take them out of the forest and they will not produce nuts. Even worse, people are not
just removing individual species from the region, they are destroying the entire forest.
Researchers estimate that by 2020 less than 5% of it will remain untouched. By the
same date it is thought that about 20% of central Africa’s forests will have gone, and
the forests of Indonesia are also disappearing fast.
Some species are not disappearing. In 1953 there were about 2.5 billion human
beings, now there are more than 6 billion. However, humans must realise that
ensuring other species keep their living space is essential; it is the only way
that we too will ensure survival.

Exercise 3
Pedro Silva is a fifteen-year-old pupil at the Seaview International School in Shenyang, China. Pedro
has been at the school for only six months. His parents, Juan and Izabel Silva, work for an
international company that has recently opened an office in Shenyang and they have been transferred
there.
The family is quite used to moving around but this move has probably been the most exciting one so
far. Pedro and his sister, Ana, really enjoy their new school, which is very modern with excellent
facilities. When they were in Brazil, the family lived very close to the children’s school. It was only two
kilometres away and they used to walk to school every day. The family now lives at the Crystal
Apartments, number 46, Beizhan Road, in the Shen He District, which is fifteen kilometres away from
school. Mr and Mrs Silva were very worried about how their children were going to get to school, so
for the first three weeks they took Pedro and Ana by car. However, this was extremely difficult
because they had to make sure that the children arrived at school by 8.15, and this was making them
late for work.
The family discussed how to resolve the problem of getting the children to school. Pedro was quite
keen to cycle but his mother would not allow that because she was concerned about the heavy traffic
on the roads. The family then considered the possibility of the children travelling by bus or train. The
train was quite expensive and there was only one train per hour going in the direction they needed.
The buses were the cheapest option, apart from cycling, and more frequent. Going by bus seemed to
be the best solution. The bus route would take them on a very fast road and so the journey would be
only 25 minutes, and get them to school at 8.05. They would then have ten minutes to spare before
the start of school. The return journey was also very convenient; there was a bus they could catch
very easily after leaving school at 4.10. The buses were modern and extremely comfortable and so
everyone was satisfied with the decision.
Mr and Mrs Silva were a little anxious about Ana travelling such a long distance, but they were
confident that Pedro would take good care of her. Mrs Silva gave Pedro a mobile phone so that she
could contact her son at any time on 13808 488165.
The children now enjoy their journey to school. There are other Seaview pupils on the bus and so
they have the opportunity to talk with their friends. Pedro always has his MP3 player with him so that
he can listen to music. The views from the bus are also fascinating. Ana prefers to read on the bus, or
sometimes she does some homework.
Pedro’s school is carrying out a survey about how pupils travel to school.
Imagine you are Pedro. Fill in the survey form on the opposite page, using the information
above.

Exercise 4
Read the following speech to parents about children and music, and then complete the notes on the
opposite page.
Whether it’s dancing around the living room on a rainy day or singing along to the radio, school-age
children love listening to, and participating in, music. There are many good reasons why you should
encourage this enthusiasm.
Research has shown that children who are actively involved in music (who play it or sing it regularly)
benefit in many ways. They appear to do better in reading and are more likely to do better in maths and
science because music helps build reasoning skills and cognitive development. One study demonstrated
that students who were given keyboard training while also using maths software scored higher on maths
and fractions tests than students who used the software alone. There is even evidence that children who
are involved in music are more likely to go to college.
But don’t let the research cloud perhaps the best reason to encourage a love of music. It’s just plain fun.
There are few things that children (and many adults) enjoy more than singing, dancing, and listening to
music.
Listening to a wide variety of music improves a child’s ability to analyse and comprehend it. The early
years of primary education are the perfect time to expose your child to everything from classical music
to pop. Most very young children are open to experiencing a wide range of musical styles; at eight years
old children start to prefer popular music. Studies have also shown that children aged nine and above
prefer music with a faster tempo – so get ready to rock and roll if your child is approaching that age.
Fill your child’s life with as much music as you can. If you are able to you could put a small stereo with
a collection of CDs in your child’s room. Giving your child a musical alarm clock or clock radio can help
your child wake up musically. It is always fun to introduce your child to songs from your own childhood
or music you particularly love. Cook to music, clean to music, and occasionally take time just to sit and
listen as an activity.
You may be wondering if your music-loving child is ready for lessons. Most children are ready for formal
music instruction between ages 5 and 7. The piano is a logical place to start. Children who learn
keyboard skills also learn the fundamental musical concepts needed for other instruments or even for
vocal music. String instruments are another good place to begin. Brass or wind instruments, on the other
hand, can be more physically challenging and may not be appropriate until they are older.
If you dreaded piano lessons when you were growing up, then your child might just feel the same.
Likewise, if you force musical training, your child probably won’t embrace it. But if your child expresses
an interest in learning to play an instrument and seems consistently and genuinely enthusiastic, consider
signing him or her up.
Music is part of us all. In fact, researchers now think it may come before language in human
development. Whether your child becomes a concert pianist or simply enjoys singing in the shower,
when you encourage the love of music, you are giving a gift that will last a lifetime.

Exercise 5
Read the following article in which a waiter describes his job in an expensive restaurant. On the
opposite page, write a summary explaining the skills the waiter must have.
Your summary should be about 100 words (and no more than 120). You should use your own
words as far as possible.
You will receive up to 6 marks for the content of your summary, and up to 4 marks for the style and
accuracy of your language.
You need many skills for the job I do as a waiter in an expensive restaurant. Certainly you have
got to know how to deal with people. There are two types of service – discreet and entertaining
– and you need to be able to work out which is required when the customer comes into the
restaurant. If there is a group of people wearing formal suits and talking seriously on a weekday
lunchtime, they’re probably on business and you need to keep your distance. If they quickly ask
you where you are from, they probably want some entertaining.
We get lots of regular customers. If you recognise someone and can’t remember the name, then
you go to the reception desk and check, so by the time you meet him at the table you can say:
‘Good morning, Mr Panton, nice to see you again. Happy New Year.’ We have certain greetings
that change depending on the season.
In our restaurant people don’t need to raise their hands to get served. The restaurant is well staffed,
so waiting staff can pay special attention to every customer. If the guest is not eating his or her food,
we approach the table and ask if things are OK or if we should bring something else. If someone
orders coffee then goes to the toilet just after we’ve brought it out, we order a fresh pot to arrive in
two or three minutes and replace the cold coffee just before the customer gets back to the table.
You’ll always get people who have had a bad day, who will manage to complain about
something. For example, sometimes customers claim the food is under-cooked or over-cooked.
People often change their minds when they see someone else’s order. They see their neighbour’s
salmon and when their duck arrives they say: ‘Oh, I ordered salmon,’ and make a fuss. But the
customer is always right. Even if there is nothing you can do about it yourself, you listen to him/her.
When you give customers attention calmly and sympathetically they stop being so agitated. Then
you call the manager and he again listens to the customer. Now the customer is relaxed and you
can change whatever is wrong. It can work in your favour – often these customers come back.
We do give special treatment to celebrities. We acknowledge them discreetly but we try not to
get too excited. We’ve had famous actors, singers and football players in the restaurant.
As a waiter it’s important to look your best. You have to shave every day. You can grow facial hair
when you’re on holiday, and keep it if it’s a full beard or moustache when you return, but it’s not
encouraged. If your hair is long you need to tie it back.
The waiters all share the service charge. Then there are competitions where, for example, the
waiter who sells the most of a particular drink gets a bonus the next month. Cash tips are divided
equally among the staff, including the kitchen workers. On New Year’s Eve a Spanish guest left a
tip of £200. This was because I spoke Spanish to him and that made him happy.
I come from a family of hoteliers and my father now owns four restaurants in my home country. My
earliest memories are of helping him. During the three years I’ve been in Britain, I’ve worked for three
top restaurants. I want to work in Dubai, the Far East and the United States before I go back home and
help my parents. I’ve learned a huge amount from the general manager here and from the chef. I like
people who believe in continuous training. Quite often we have motivational speakers and we get
frequent briefings and courses on food and drink. Training makes us more skilled and more confident.

Exercise 2
Read the following article about men who hunt for birds’ nests in caves in Thailand, and then answer
The nest hunters of Tam Yai

Swiftlets are shy birds that make their nests in the remotest corners of deep caves. They have the ability
to fly fast and straight like arrows around the interior of the cave walls. Like some other birds, they build
their nests with their saliva, the juicy liquid from their own mouths. This juice hardens quickly to make a
small nest, shaped like a cup. These nests are called “white gold”, because they can be sold for
thousands of dollars in the Chinese food markets. It is these nests for which the hunters of Tam Yai are
prepared to risk their lives.
Tam Yai cave in southern Thailand is the largest network of caves inside a limestone mountain, known as
Suwan Kuha, meaning “cave temple”. It has been given this name because it contains a large area
decorated with statues of Buddhas. High above the statues, in the far corners of the cave complex, is
where the nests are to be found.
The nest hunters climb barefoot up dangerous bamboo poles hundreds of metres above the ground to
collect these valuable nests. They rarely use safety equipment, and if they fall, they will die instantly.
These nests can only be reached by the bravest and most skilled climbers, and they are often only able
to reach the highest nests with the aid of a stick and a net.

Nest hunting is a skill passed down in families from father to son. Because of the profits that can be
made, the competition among rival climbers is fierce. There are armed guards at the entrance to the
cave to protect the nests from thieves. In Tam Yai, there are also strict laws to prevent illegal hunting
and to ensure proper collecting, or “harvesting”, of the nests. As a result, the birds are a protected
species and the number of swiftlets is growing. Nest harvesting begins in March and if the harvest is
collected at the correct time of year, each swiftlet will lay eggs three times a season. Once the young
birds have hatched and flown, the nests can be collected and sold to the Chinese food industry as the
vital ingredient in bird’s nest soup.
The recipe for the highly valued bird’s nest soup is centuries old, and the soup is said to have a value in
prolonging life. Chinese doctors often prescribe it for people who are suffering from skin conditions, lung
disease and breathing problems.
It is important to prepare the nests thoroughly when they arrive in the restaurant kitchens. Firstly they are
washed, soaked and boiled until they have a soft, rubber-like texture. Then they are mixed with meat
and coconut and all the ingredients are cooked together. The nest itself is not delicious, in fact it has
hardly any taste. As one Chinese chef says: “It is the other ingredients which give the soup its flavour.
The nest is soft and crunchy, and when you prepare it you must be careful to remove all traces of the
bird, such as bones or feathers. This is because Chinese people appreciate the way it feels in their
mouth rather than the taste and smell.”
It is an exotic dish in a multi-million dollar market. The nests themselves are small; they weigh less than 10
grams and measure just a few centimetres. But for the nest hunters the risks are great indeed.

Exercise 3
A new fast-food restaurant recently opened in the suburbs of Mumbai, India, where Vijay Persad lives
with his parents and two sisters. He wanted to try out the restaurant but the other members of his
family don’t like fast-food, so Vijay called a few friends and they all agreed to go together. Vijay has
just celebrated his 18th birthday, and his friends are a little younger than him; they are still 17. The
new restaurant is situated in Yari Road, Versova, Mumbai, only five minutes’ walk from his house,
which is on the same street, at number 237.
The friends met at Vijay’s house just before 6pm. They wanted to arrive early at the restaurant in
order to avoid the crowds of people who come after 7pm. They were not sure exactly how many
friends would be able to come to the meal so they did not make a reservation in advance.
On arrival they were immediately impressed by the excellent appearance of the inside of the
restaurant. The tables were large and the seating was very comfortable. They were served with their
choice of drinks very quickly and the service throughout was very good. Vijay was disappointed that
there were not many options on the menu for vegetarians, although there were several choices for
those who liked chicken. The restaurant was more expensive than they had expected, so they only
had one dish and a drink. Overall, Vijay thought that the prices were too high, although the restaurant
did offer a take-away service for those people who had less time to eat and wanted something a little
cheaper.
Vijay does not have a credit card and so he paid with cash. They all agreed that the restaurant was
very friendly and had a good atmosphere, but they felt that the quality of the food was only
satisfactory. However, some members of the group said they wanted to return the following week to
celebrate the birthday of a good friend. Vijay was not keen on the idea, mainly because he likes to
have his evening meals at home since his mother is such an excellent cook. He only goes to
restaurants about twice a month on average.
At the end of the meal, the manager of the restaurant approached the group. He said that he was very
interested in their opinions about the new restaurant and explained that if they filled in the customer
satisfaction form, they would automatically be entered in a competition. The first prize was a free meal
at the restaurant for two people. Vijay’s friends were not interested in completing the form but Vijay
thought that it would be fun to try, although he was not interested in receiving any further publicity
material for the restaurant in future.
In addition to his comments, he had to supply his contact details. His parents’ phone number is
389536444 but he prefers to be contacted direct on his mobile/cell phone 854762190. He also has his
own email address vipsd@net.in which he checks every day.

Exercise 4
Read the article below about multi-tasking, the skill of doing many different tasks at the same time,
and then complete the notes on the opposite page.
You may think that 24 hours in a day is not enough for everything that you want to do... and
many people would agree with you.
Fortunately, researchers have found that there are many time-saving machines and gadgets in
the home and at work nowadays. A decade ago, it would have taken 31 hours to do all the
tasks that now take only 24 hours to complete.
For many people the rush starts at breakfast time, when they read text messages on a mobile /
cell phone while making toast. It continues in the car where the driver makes a phone call
with a hands-free set while listening with one ear to the radio and checking the satellite
navigation system.
This doesn’t stop when we get to work. There is a blizzard of emails, phone calls and meetings
often happening simultaneously throughout the day. However, researchers have found that
the busiest period of multi-tasking is still to come, at home in the evening.
“People will be operating the television remote control while surfing on the computer, texting
their friends on their mobile phone and having a conversation with their family,” says Calvin
Bilten, one of the authors of a report on multi-tasking. “They may be far more mentally
engaged at home than at work.”
According to the report, television remains the main focus of attention in the evening, but an
increasing number of people use computers to update their social network sites or download
and listen to music. Even eating takes second place to internet activities in many homes.
Bilten’s team of researchers calculated that the tasks carried out in a typical day ten years ago
would have taken 31 hours, with the old-fashioned email systems and mobile phones in use at
that time. He adds, “On one hand, it’s good because you get more done. On the other hand,
life was much simpler a decade ago. There was more talking face-to-face and more time spent
over dinner or just doing nothing. Now there is the feeling that you have to be using one
gadget or more all the time.”
However, the limits of present-day technology may mean that multi-tasking is nearing its peak
for this generation. This is good news for many researchers and advisers on human behaviour.
Zac Miller, a psychology professor, says that the thought of a 31-hour day is extremely
depressing. He states, “Observations of the brain made during multi-tasking show that
completing several tasks together takes longer than if they were done one at a time. Forty per
cent of people cannot remember the previous task they were doing, so they become
confused. This can be fatal on the roads.”
Moreover, there are signs of a revolt against multi-tasking. Many students and workers are
feeling too much pressure and are deleting thousands of unread emails and no longer using
social network sites.

Read the following article about a climb to the top of South-East Asia’s highest mountain.
Write a summary of the main difficulties that tourists face during the climb and the rewards
when they reach the top.
Your summary should be about 100 words (and no more than 120 words). You should use your own
Peak Performance
Yet another storm is about to descend on the
jungle-covered slopes of Mount Kinabalu. It is a familiar
sound to our guide, Joseph Duzun, who is going to lead us
through the mist-covered forests of South-East Asia’s highest
mountain. Joseph has been guiding groups of tourists along this path for the past ten years. The area
receives about 80-100 tourists a day, most of whom undertake the tough two-day climb to Low’s Peak.
It is physically demanding because of its very steep paths.
The local people regard Mount Kinabalu as the home of the spirits and pay their respects once a year, with
offerings of chicken, rice and cigars. The locals believe that their ancestors inhabit the mountain’s highest
peaks.
We plan to set out in the cool, early morning from Timpohon Gate, the official starting point for the
trail, for the five-hour climb to our base camp at Laban Rata. We will spend our first night there, at
3300 metres above sea level.
Our guide, Joseph, appears suddenly out of the mist. He has a huge smile and is carrying an old canvas
backpack. He is wearing rubber boat shoes which are far better suited to the steep, snaking paths
than our high-tech, high-priced hiking boots.
The path towards Laban Rata is a journey into a lost world, with thick mists obscuring our way. We
finally stumble into the base camp in the late afternoon. We have aches and pains all over our bodies
but they soon vanish as we drink steaming bowls of fish soup and hot green tea in the restaurant. At
Laban Rata, the air is noticeably thinner and simply walking from the restaurant to the bedrooms, a
small distance of 50 metres, leaves us almost breathless. About twenty tourists decide to abandon the
final stage of the climb because several of them are suffering from altitude sickness. The thought of
getting out of bed the following morning at 3 am in the freezing dawn temperatures has also discouraged
many others from continuing.
It is necessary to leave our warm beds so early in order to reach the summit at 6 am for the sunrise.
We follow 40 other climbers making their way across the granite rock faces in the chilly darkness. At
6.10 am, at the summit of Low’s Peak, the long-awaited moment arrives. The first rays of sunlight
break brilliantly over the peaks, lighting the countryside of Borneo like a vast green carpet. The
spectacular sight of the shadow of Low’s Peak stretches across the lowland, all the way to the sea – a
distance of about 180 kilometres.
After congratulations and celebrations with delicious hot drinks, we reflect on the marvellous feeling
of achievement that we have on reaching the top. For most of us, the climb to the rooftop of
South-East Asia has been a massive effort. For Joseph Duzun, however, it is just another day at work.

Exercise 3
At the age of 21, Alphonse Gaillard is the youngest member of the Mont Blanc Mountain Rescue
Team, based at Chamonix in France, close to the borders with Switzerland and Italy. Alphonse is
now in his final year studying English and German at Grenoble University. In the vacations he always
returns to Chamonix, and he is then able to play a full part in the rescue team's operations.
Members of the Mont Blanc Mountain Rescue Team have their storeroom, where they keep all the
equipment, at 74 Rue Bobigny, on the outskirts of Chamonix. There is also a small office in the
building, with its own telephone, but as the room is not regularly used the team members prefer to use
the email address sauvevie-montblanc@alice.net.fr to contact the outside world. The leader of the
team is Jacques Carpentier, an orthopaedic surgeon at the local hospital.
On 2 April 2011, during the Easter holidays, a pair of climbers were caught in an avalanche on the
upper slopes of Mont Blanc. One of them managed to take shelter beneath an overhanging rock, but
the other was swept off the ledge on which he had been standing and fell fifty metres down the
mountain side, severely injuring his leg. When his companion discovered him, he was unable to dig
him out completely from under the snow. He therefore called the Mountain Rescue Team on his
mobile phone.
Alphonse accompanied the team in the rescue expedition. Weather conditions were terrible; it was
snowing heavily, and a thick fog had descended over the mountain sides so that the party had to use
powerful lamps to guide them. Fortunately, the uninjured climber had been able to give them a map
reference, and, with the aid of a compass, they eventually reached the scene of the accident.
They released the injured man, whose leg had been fractured in two places. Jacques Carpentier took
a pole from one of the two stretchers carried by the team and used it to secure the broken limb. They
then gently lifted the patient onto the other stretcher and started down the slope. The slow, exhausting
journey to the bottom took them nearly three hours, so that it was already dark by the time they
reached the hospital. The whole rescue operation had lasted seven and a half hours.
The International Rescue Organisation required an accident report form to be completed because a
serious injury had occurred. The form had to be completed in English, so the team leader asked
Alphonse to perform the task.
Imagine you are Alphonse Gaillard. Fill in the form on the opposite page, using the information

Exercise 4
Read the following article about the development of new “super robots”, and then complete the notes
on the opposite page.
For some time now, scientists have been promising to introduce us to a new
generation of mobile robots that can do almost everything to make our lives
easier. We are told that they will be able to clean our houses, do all the weekly
shopping at the supermarket, successfully steer our cars through the crowded city
streets and guide us effortlessly to our holiday destinations.
So far, unfortunately, the promise has remained unfulfilled. This is mainly because the
scientists have failed to programme their robots to distinguish between the permanent
features of a typical street scene and those which are temporary and can move from
place to place. Some things which are seen in a street – buildings, street lamps and
so on – will always be in the same place. Other things, however, such as cars, trucks
and buses, and even smaller objects, like bicycles or babies’ pushchairs, will almost
certainly have been moved elsewhere.
We humans have no difficulty in accepting these minor changes when we observe

familiar scenes, but for robots up to now it has been a serious problem. Earlier robots
became confused by these insignificant changes and were consequently unable to
function properly. Recently, however, it has been reported that members of the
Robotics Research Group at the University of Oxford have given their robots a new kind
of visual memory which makes them much more successful.
The new computer program, called Clever Map, trains the robot to recognise familiar
objects as a whole and to accept the movement of some objects, such as cars, from
one place to another. So when, for instance, a vehicle which the robot has formerly
seen in a particular location is not in the same place again, it can dismiss the absence
of the vehicle as unimportant. At the same time, the robot is no longer confused by the
fact that identical features such as bricks, doors and windows may appear in different
locations.
The research workers first took their robot for walks around the buildings and gardens of
their university college. Once the robot managed to recognise the familiar
surroundings, they took it out into the streets of the city of Oxford and it successfully
produced maps of the whole city centre. The next step was to put a robot in the
passenger seat of a car and to test it out on a thousand kilometre journey around the
countryside. This has resulted in the production of the largest robot-created maps to
date.
These latest “super robots” have the ability to learn the details of their surroundings
and to use a set of rules in their computer programs to deal with changes. We
have not yet reached a stage of development when we can employ a
robot to serve all our domestic needs, but the time is now not
so far distant.

Exercise 5
Read the following article about preparing for exams. On the opposite page write a summary of
what advice students are given in order to stay happy and healthy at exam time.
Your summary should be about 100 words (and not more than 120 words). You should use
your own words as far as possible.
Stay happy and healthy at exam time

Feeling nervous before examinations is a healthy sign that you take your studies seriously and want all
your hard work during the past two years to be recognised. On the other hand, it may be the case
that you realise you have spent too much of your time doing far too little. Either way, the best
method of overcoming nerves is to feel prepared. This means feeling confident that you have the skills
and knowledge to face whatever the exams may demand of you.
Ideally, you will have been preparing throughout your time at school by attending all your classes,
completing all your assignments and, possibly, keeping all your notes in order. All these things are
important, but you also have to prepare for the exams more directly. This means thinking about the
kind of topics that are likely to come up and the different ways they could be addressed. Look at the
syllabus to see what it contains and what you are supposed to know by the time you have finished
studying it.
Working your way through past exam papers will give you a better idea of what may occur, but make
sure that the syllabus has not been altered since the papers were written. The other way you need to
be prepared is to be sure in advance which exam you are taking at a particular time, and when and
where you are taking it.
However, apart from your academic preparation, it is even more important to look after yourself
both physically and emotionally. If you feel anxious, it is a good idea to talk to your teachers. They may
be able to offer reassurance as well as suggesting revision techniques.
Spending too much time alone in the period before the exams is unwise because you can become
unnecessarily worried. To avoid this, don’t completely give up your social life. Of course, you can also
be disturbed by what your school friends may say, so don’t be concerned by other people’s revision
timetables or by their claims to know what will be in the exams. They don’t know any more than you
do.
Avoid coffee and fizzy drinks. Feeling alert is helpful, but feeling over-excited is not. Feeling hungry is
not good either, so remember to eat breakfast even if you don’t really want it. Above all, you don’t
want to feel sleepy, so go to bed early and stop revising at least an hour before bedtime so that you
can close your eyes with a clear head.
Make the most of support offered by friends and family, and if you feel in need of extra support, by all
means take along a favourite toy or object with you to the exam room. Don’t be upset if your candidate
number happens to be your unlucky one or if your favourite clothes happen to be in the wash. You
should realise that although it is important to spend an hour or two filling pieces of paper with brilliantly
relevant details, filling the rest of your life with interesting experiences is far more important.

which may be helpful.
How to start a friendship

Some people are naturally outgoing and
don’t find it difficult to make friends.
However, people who are shy find it
harder to get to know people. When you
want to get to know someone it can be a
good idea to think ahead and have a few
ideas about things that you could talk
about. You could decide to compliment
them on something you have noticed
about them, or you could ask them
something about school. What to do if your parents don’t like
your friends
Sometimes parents might think that a
friend may be a bad influence on you. It is
worth listening to their concerns. You may
be able to reassure them about your
friend, or you may realise that your
parents are making some good points that
you had not thought about before.

Exercise 2
Read the following article about an expert on sharks and their behaviour, and then answer the
Shark expert
Andy Dehart is a shark expert and TV presenter who lives in the United States of America. He has had a
lifelong interest in sharks and is always trying to look for ways to educate the public about them. Many people
think that sharks have little or no intelligence, but Andy points out that recent studies have shown that many
shark species possess powerful problem-solving abilities and social skills. “Sharks do not want to attack
humans,” he asserts. “There is no shark species that eats humans as part of its regular diet. In most shark
attack cases, the shark leaves after realising that it has mistakenly bitten a human and not its intended prey.”
Andy takes every opportunity to explain that sharks need our help to survive. Sharks are being killed at a rate
of 2,500 each day. These great fish are particularly at risk from overfishing, and they have few young compared
to other fish that are caught to be sold. They simply will not survive if this sort of fishing continues. In the last
20 years, 90 per cent of hammerhead sharks have disappeared. Many other shark species are also on the verge
of extinction. Two species of shark which are endangered are fished for their fins. These are in great demand in
certain parts of the world, where shark’s fin soup is a favoured food. In Andy’s personal opinion, all shark fishing
should be stopped until the shark populations have had time to grow again. We then need to do a better job of
managing the fishing of sharks. However, even if the direct fishing of sharks is stopped, many will still be killed
when they are caught up in the nets of boats fishing for other species of fish.

Andy loves sharks and is very passionate about their survival and protection. He feels extremely lucky to have
had opportunities working at the National Aquarium and the television station which presents the Nature
Channel. He never wastes a moment in either place that could be spent educating people about sharks. He
does admit that it is probably not possible to get everyone to love sharks as he does. However, he does hope
to persuade people personally or through the media to respect sharks and the critical role they play in our
environment. His main objective is to keep spreading awareness that sharks are not dangerous man-eaters but
essential creatures in our oceans, as they provide ecological balance and help to control other species.

Exercise 3
Sarah Harman is a 16-year-old student who lives in England at 47 Mill Lane, Southampton. Her
telephone number is 07922348911. Sarah is in her final year of school and in September 2012 hopes
to go to the London Arts Academy, where she will continue her studies and receive specialist tuition in
singing. The London Arts Academy has an excellent reputation and has produced many singers who
have gone on to become famous.
Sarah has enjoyed singing since the age of 5, when her grandfather used to play the piano and
encourage her to sing. Her grandparents then moved away to live in Canada. Sadly, Sarah has only
seen them once since they left as the family has not been able to afford to visit them. However, Sarah
has continued her singing and, by the age of 7, her parents had arranged a private teacher for her
and she was performing at many music festivals. More recently, Sarah was asked to take the lead
role in a pop musical show called ‘Shout Aloud’ which was being performed at school. This was a
great success, and her 5 minute solo song, ‘Summer Dreams’, was well received and members of the
audience stood up and applauded her. Sarah has spent most of her singing career to date performing
classical songs, but she really enjoyed singing the more modern and popular songs required in the
musical.
After the school performance, one of the parents who had watched the musical, Mr Lawrence,
contacted Sarah’s parents to inform them about a talent show which was going to be on television in
the near future. Mr Lawrence was an employee of the local TV station and thought that the family
might be interested in entering Sarah for the competition. Mr Lawrence gave the family his email
address, lawr@abinternet.co.uk, so that they could write and ask him for the application form once
they had considered it. Mr and Mrs Harman thought that this would be an excellent opportunity for
their daughter and so made sure that they got the application form. They were all delighted to learn
that the first prize was a family holiday for four in a country of their own choice. The choice of
destination would be an easy one: they would want to visit Sarah’s grandparents.
It did not take Sarah long to decide to use the solo song that she had sung at school as her entry for
the talent show. She would need to make sure that the technicians at the TV station were able to
provide a CD player for her backing music and coloured lights in order to create the right atmosphere.
Sarah was very excited by the idea of appearing on television and even more excited by the
possibility of winning the holiday for her family.
Imagine you are Sarah. Fill in the form on the opposite page, using the information above.

Exercise 2
Read the following article about a working holiday in a country park, and then answer the questions
on the opposite page.
, Rest and Play

William Derbyshire had always regarded the phrase “working holiday” as a contradiction in terms. He
thought that holidays were for relaxing, not working. But when he heard about working holidays run by the
National Trust, he wondered if he should find out more.
So he obtained a brochure and discovered that the National Trust organises hundreds of working holidays in
some of the most beautiful places in the UK. The Trust provides cheap accommodation and food, and as
William was short of money at the time, he reckoned that this could be a way for him to take a break
without having to spend too much.
William chose to go to a big country park, to help a group of other volunteers to clear some of the
surrounding woodland. He was met there by the group leader, who immediately told him he had already
made his first mistake. The trainers William was wearing were quite unsuitable for outdoor work. It says so in
the brochure, in bold type, but somehow he had missed that detail. Luckily, the leader had a pair of smart
green boots for him to borrow. Then they headed off into the forest to meet the other volunteers.
The forest was full of all kinds of trees but had become overgrown with thick bushes and tangled weeds. The
volunteers’ task was to clear these, to give the trees more room, and to plant a few more in the empty
spaces. The National Trust is a charity and receives no money from the government. Without the help of
volunteers, work like this would not be done.
The other volunteers had been there for a week, and they had already cleared an area the size of several
tennis courts. The volunteers ranged from teenagers to pensioners, from a retired postman to several
students working for an award. There was also a surveyor, a civil servant, a teacher and a chef. A few were
first-timers, but most of them had been on lots of these holidays before.

After volunteers have done several working holidays, they get the chance to go on a brief training course and
become a volunteer leader. In exchange for a few extra duties, such as driving the minibus and buying the
food, leaders receive their holiday completely free. However, even though it was a cheap way to spend a
week, it was clear that most of them were there just for the love of it. They enjoyed meeting new people and
doing useful work together. Although they did not boast about it, William could tell they were keen to play
their part in making their corner of the world a better place.
The leader cut down some bushes with a chainsaw and then showed William how to use an axe to do the
same work. William found the task hard, but he liked the fact that he was free to work at his own pace. As on
any holiday, it was good to make new friends. Clearing woodland is not the only thing you can do on a
National Trust working holiday. Activities range from gardening to archaeology, picking fruit and vegetables,
looking after farm animals or cataloguing books in the library of a historic house.
William had his meals in a cabin with the other volunteers and slept in the men’s dormitory. He did not sleep
too well because the room was cold. Nevertheless, he loved every other aspect of the holiday and would be
happy to go back again next year.

Exercise 3
In October 2010, at the age of 17, Shokat Aziz took part in the Red Sea Water Sports Tournament,
held every three years off the coast of the Egyptian resort of Sharm el Sheikh. On that occasion,
Shokat won a bronze medal, coming third in the junior deep-sea diving competition.
Since early childhood, Shokat has loved practising every kind of water sport. As he lives in Saudi
Arabia, in the port city of Jeddah, he has easy access to the shallow lagoons on the coast as well as
to the deep water beyond the coral reef. By now he is an expert swimmer and diver and also
proficient in rowing, sailing and water skiing. His favourite activity, however, is windsurfing, and he is
fully equipped with a state-of-the-art surf board, a mast and a sail.
Shokat lives with his family at 84 Gabel Souk, Jeddah, in an apartment above a jewellery shop which
is managed by his father. Since leaving school in 2011, Shokat has joined the business as a trainee
goldsmith and he will soon complete his apprenticeship and become a qualified jeweller.
Nevertheless, his real ambition is to be a water sports instructor.
The Red Sea Water Sports Tournament will be held again in October 2013, and the organisers are
already advertising for participants. By that time, Shokat will have had his twentieth birthday, so he
will be old enough to compete in the senior events. He could choose diving once more and thinks he
would also be eligible for swimming and sailing, but he has no doubt that his best chance of a medal
this time will be in windsurfing. He has requested an application form, which he has now received. For
a response to his application, he can use the family business email: jewelcase@mosnet.sa.
Most competitors stay either in a local hostel or a nearby hotel. Fortunately, Shokat’s father has
relatives who own a holiday apartment in Sharm el Sheikh. They have kindly offered this
accommodation to Shokat for the period of the tournament, and his father has agreed to pay his entry
fee and travel costs. He will travel by ferry to Suez and then by bus all the way down the Sinai
peninsula. Shokat hopes to raise enough money for his living expenses by asking some of the regular
customers of his father’s shop to sponsor him.
If he is successful in the 2013 competition, Shokat plans to try for a scholarship to Cairns in Australia,
close to the Great Barrier Reef, where he can be trained as a water sports instructor. After that he
would be able to obtain paid employment teaching a variety of activities on rivers, lakes or oceans. He
thinks this will be a far more stimulating occupation and a more satisfactory way of life than making
and selling gold jewellery.
Imagine you are Shokat. Fill in the application form on the opposite page, using the
information above.

Exercise 4
Read the following talk about a project to encourage primary school children to play football, and then
complete the notes on the opposite page.
Game On
I work in a primary school, where I teach music and mathematics to students aged
five to ten. Although I knew very little about sport, I was recently asked to coach
the children in the football team. Fortunately, I heard about a new opportunity for
people like myself. It is called the “Premier Skills Project”, and its purpose is to help
new sports coaches to learn valuable skills to teach young children to play football,
or soccer as it is called in many parts of the world.
My experience with children’s football was limited and so I really wanted to

improve my ability as a coach. At the time, football was not well developed for the
pupils in my school. Many of them did not even know that they had to kick the ball.
I remember one child picking up the ball and running away with it. Sometimes they
would try to hit the ball with their hands or punch it with their fists. They even let it
strike them in the face or on the nose – with the result that the school medical room
was kept very busy! Some children often refused to play at all because they just
didn’t know what to do. I needed to learn how to help them understand the game
so that they got better at playing it. Through this new project, I hoped to discover
how to deliver the basic skills of soccer to young people who had never even
kicked a ball.
I am often asked what I learnt on the “Premier Skills Project” training course I
attended and how I am now applying this in my job as a coach. I reply that I learnt
how to deal with young players, and what appropriate activities to give them. I
learnt many training skills and now know what to do at each stage of training. The
most important lesson is that children need to enjoy the game and to have fun
while they are playing it.
Nowadays, I always try to keep the focus on enjoyment. Even when we lose a
match, we still return home happy. I have come to realise that young children do
not like being shouted at, so now I walk over to them and speak to them without
raising my voice. As a result, I am a much better organised coach. Even when I am
not present, everything can be done because I list all the activities in my session
plan. I try to keep everyone involved, and my coaching has become interactive. I
encourage the players to lead some of the training activities, so I can focus on the
interests and abilities of individual boys and girls.
The children too are more respectful to each other. They do not argue as much as
they used to. They are better organised now. They plan ahead for their school day
and try to make time for their soccer training. They are much better at making
friends and have therefore become popular members of their communities.

Exercise 5
Read the following account of an attempt to save the wild Asian tiger. On the opposite page, write a
summary of the reasons for the decline in the number of tigers AND the steps being taken by
the World Wildlife Fund to stop the decline.
Your summary should be about 100 words (and no more than 120). You should use your own
As estimated numbers last year dropped to fewer than 3000, we are now dangerously close to losing the
wild tiger in many parts of Asia. However, the managers of the World Wildlife Fund have devised an
ambitious plan to help double the population by 2022.
In spite of a global ban, the illegal hunting of tigers and the trade in their body parts continue, partly
because of their use in traditional medicine. The fall in the number of tigers has been a cause for concern
for several years, but recent estimates suggest that numbers are now declining even more rapidly. More
and more tigers are being killed, particularly to satisfy the constant demand for their skins. Unless action
is taken immediately the wild tiger may soon cease to exist in many parts of Asia.
Illegal hunting is the most serious issue currently facing tigers, but it’s not the only thing that threatens
their survival in the wild. Extensive habitat destruction due to logging, agriculture and the development
of new human settlements have forced tigers into ever smaller areas. This makes them easier for
hunters to find, and also brings them into conflict with communities who sometimes kill tigers to protect
themselves and their livestock. Meanwhile, rising sea levels caused by climate change threaten to
destroy vast areas of tiger habitat in the coastal regions of India and Bangladesh.
Save This deadly combination of factors could soon see tigers disappear completely from the
wild in many parts of Asia. However, there is still a chance to help them survive and
the recover. The Amur sub-species, for example, was down to a population of just 40 in the
1940s. Fortunately, as a result of the joint action of the governments of Russia and China,
Tiger as well as the efforts of conservation groups such as the World Wildlife Fund, the species
is still with us today, although in very low numbers of around 400.
Recently, the managers of the World Wildlife Fund have launched an ambitious plan to double the tiger
population by the year 2022, which is to be called “The Year of the Tiger”. They have already improved their
extensive tiger conservation efforts by increasing the number of their anti-hunting patrols and by making
the staff of these patrols better trained and equipped. The main focus is on twelve key landscapes, which
some of the world’s top tiger experts have identified as offering the best chances of increasing the world’s
tiger populations. In these areas the main objectives are not only to protect
the adult animals, but also to make their habitats safe for their young and
ensure a continued supply of prey for tiger families to feed upon.
This far-reaching plan to double tiger populations by 2022 represents

the best chance to preserve these magnificent animals. To achieve their
aim, the World Wildlife Fund managers also need to increase the support of
governments and the general public. Additional money is required in order to
make the vital work possible, and, thankfully, a major charity has promised to
double any gift received online in the foreseeable future. This means that, thanks
to this generous offer, a gift of one hundred dollars could put an extra anti-hunting patrol into the field
for a month, and any similar financial assistance will go twice as far towards giving the wild tigers the
support which they so urgently need.

Exercise 1
Read the following article about the equipment you need when learning to paint, and then answer the
Starting to Paint
Taking up a new hobby usually means that you have to buy some basic equipment to get started.
If you have decided that you want to learn how to paint, then you will need to know a little bit
about what you have to buy and how to choose what you need.
Choosing the Paint

Learning to paint is similar to learning a new language: both require practice and patience. First,
you have to choose which paint you are going to use. Acrylic paints are good to start with as they
are quick-drying. Acrylic paints are excellent for achieving smooth, plain colours and are quite
easy to use on their own without the need to mix them. If you do want to mix the
paints, however, there can be problems. By the time the mixture is made, the
paint may be too dry to be used. Oil paint, on the other hand, provides
a deeper colour, but is much more difficult to use. It takes a long time
to dry, simply because the paint is oil-based rather than water-based.
You should also remember that each colour has a different drying rate.
Mixing the paint

You need an easy-to-clean surface on which to mix the paint and you will find a wide variety of
mixing surfaces available. These are called palettes. It’s best to mix paint with a palette knife, as
it is specially designed for this purpose. It is not a good idea to mix paint with brushes because
they absorb some of it and you will not have enough paint left to work with.
Brushes
There are four main shapes of brush to choose from. ‘Rounds’ have bristles which come to a
point so that you can create precise lines. ‘Flats’ are good for applying areas of colour and for
creating straight edges. ‘Filberts’ are tongue-shaped and allow you to create broad or narrow
marks that can be curved. Finally, ‘Brights’ are short and useful for applying short strokes of
thick colour.
Painting surfaces
Deciding what surface you want to paint on is important. At the beginning it is
probably best to start with paper because it is cheap and easy to prepare. It’s best
to buy blocks of paper that have been specially prepared so that the paper doesn’t
change shape when wet and then cause the paint to crack. When you are more
confident you can begin to consider painting on other surfaces such as canvas and
wood.

Read the following article about television, and then answer the questions on the opposite page.
Television
Television viewing continues to grow around the world, even though the internet is now widely
used for entertainment. This may be because the number of ways of watching television has
increased. High definition technology, digital television, the use of digital video recorders and now
3D technology all contribute to enjoyable viewing experiences. Research reveals that a typical
person views almost 200 minutes of television a day. The chart below shows what the situation is in
a variety of regions around the world.

We know that many people watch a lot of television so it is important to ask what effect this may
have on children. Research suggests that having the TV on may have a bad effect on young
children’s language development by reducing the amount of conversation between child and adult.
It was found that when the TV was audible, the number of words spoken by either adult or child
reduced considerably. Surprisingly, even children who watched programmes that were described
as educational and specifically aimed at them learnt fewer new words than children who did not
watch the programmes. Unless further research shows that children under two years old might
benefit from TV, parents should encourage language activities through imaginative play. While there
is some evidence that a little TV viewing may be beneficial for the over twos, the evidence for those
younger is less certain. It is argued that first words are learnt far more effectively from real people
than from voices on the television. In the USA there is a formal recommendation that children under
two years old should not be exposed to TV or computer screens, and a growing body of evidence
is now causing governments and health authorities around the world to consider issuing similar
guidelines. However, parents could choose to limit viewing to an hour a day for their three- to five-
year-olds.
Childhood is a critical period for brain development and the formation of behaviour patterns.
Parents have a responsibility to ensure that the right conditions exist for these developments. It
is very helpful if parents can teach their children how to use their leisure time more effectively.
They can introduce their children to sports, music or other hobbies. An expert in child behaviour
said, “Children can easily be influenced by the programmes they watch and this can result in a
wide variety of psychological problems. Often parents do not know what their children are watching
on television, and it may be that they are being exposed to programmes which are unsuitable.”
Research also shows that television viewing leads to a decrease in physical activity and an increase
in the consumption of sugary drinks and unhealthy snacks. In particular, children should not have
televisions in their bedrooms as this encourages them to be inactive.
Researchers had expected that by the age of seven the influence of early television viewing on
children would have disappeared. However, they were shocked to find that the early experience
of television viewing continued to have long-term harmful effects on school performance and on
health.

Exercise 3
Christophe Lautrec lives at 34 Place Victor Hugo, in Vannes, a town in France. He enjoys many sports,
particularly skiing, but he has never tried surfing. He has friends who are expert surfers and they are
always encouraging him to learn how to surf. They believe that he would be good at it because his
skiing experience suggests he has a good sense of balance. Recently, his best friend, Marc Benoit,
called Christophe on his mobile, 0676448250, and told him that Jacques Depoint, Gerard Monet and
himself were all planning to go on a surfing holiday that they had read about in a leaflet at college. They
wanted to know if he would like to go along as well. Christophe asked his parents, Vincent and Marie
Lautrec, if they would allow him to go away with his friends. They were happy for him to go as he had
recently had his eighteenth birthday and had done very well in his exams. They felt that he deserved
a reward. His father even said that he would pay the 500 Euros which was the cost of the holiday
and which included all meals. He gave Christophe his credit card number 82713001 so that he could
arrange the payment for all of the group. His friends would then repay his father in cash.
Christophe’s friends were delighted when they heard that he could go. They immediately asked him
to be the group leader and sort out all the arrangements, because he is good at that sort of thing.
Christophe booked with the company his friends had already identified. It was called, ‘Les Surfers’.
Vincent insisted that Christophe should have the full course of beginner’s lessons with ‘Les Surfers’
before he actually went surfing with his friends. Surfing can be dangerous and he did not want his son
to try it without being well prepared. His mother also insisted that Christophe made the company aware
of the fact that he had recently had an operation on his arm following a skiing accident. She was quite
worried about his arm and hoped that it would be strong enough to take the strain of surfing. Christophe
was very confident that he was fit enough to do everything, but he was a little concerned about Gerard,
who had quite a serious allergy to nuts and could become very ill if he ate something that contained
nuts and did not get immediate medical attention.
Finally, all the arrangements were made, and the group chose to fly from Paris on flight AF 369, which
would land at Heathrow in England at 3pm. They would then have to get a train which would arrive
at the surfing resort of Newquay at 8pm. The travelling would not be easy and so they decided not to
take their own equipment but to hire it from the company. Jacques had done this before when he went
surfing in California, and he said that it was very convenient.
Imagine you are Christophe. Fill in the form on the opposite page, using the information above.

Exercise 3
Agung Alatas lives at Jalan Bandra No. 15, Bandung 40265, in Indonesia. However, he will soon be
leaving home to go to Eastern University which is just over 200 kilometres away. He hopes to begin his
studies in archaeology in January 2014. Naturally he is excited, but he is also quite nervous because
he is the first person in his family to go to university. He was therefore pleased to accept an invitation to
attend a one-day course, designed to give information about university life.
The course was held at the university itself, and Agung’s aunt offered to drive him there. She had
always wanted to see the city where the university is located. Agung made sure that his aunt had his
mobile phone number, 0832472411, so that she could contact him easily. The course was held in a
large room to accommodate the many prospective students who were attending. Unfortunately, it was
quite difficult to hear some of the things that were being said, and the room was rather cold.
The tutor gave a presentation about a typical day at the university, and Agung found this really
interesting. He would have liked to know whether any efforts were made to prepare vegetarian food,
but he didn’t get a chance to ask because there wasn’t really an opportunity for questions during the
presentation. By the time the question session came at the end, he had forgotten.
Pictures were shown of the student rooms and they looked very comfortable. However, Agung was
a little concerned; it seemed that the heating was controlled centrally and students could not set the
temperature that they wanted in their own rooms. Agung hates being cold, and he hoped that the
temperature would be set at a high level. He made a note to himself that maybe he should bring some
warm clothes and blankets.
After the presentation, everyone was given the opportunity to get together in smaller groups for a short
tour of the main teaching areas of the university. This was a great idea and Agung felt really excited
when he saw the well-equipped lecture halls. Further details about the layout of the university were
included in the useful and informative handouts. After the tour, course participants were given further
information about academic requirements and Agung wasn’t so happy to hear that if work was not
handed in exactly on time, then it would not be marked. He always seemed to have a problem with
meeting deadlines.
After the course finished, Agung was met by his aunt, who had enjoyed herself in the city. She was
pleased to hear that the course had been a success for Agung, although he did say that he had found
it rather long and that it could have been done in a shorter space of time. His aunt was very glad that it
had been quite long as that had given her plenty of time to do lots of shopping.
Imagine you are Agung. Fill in the form on the opposite page, using the information above.

Exercise 4
Read the following article about the eyesight of birds, and then complete the notes on the opposite
page.
A BIRD’S-EYE VIEW
Birds have an amazing view of the world, but that’s not just because they fly above it. Birds have
truly astonishing eyesight. In fact, the clarity with which they see the world is similar to that of
humans. But birds actually process the information they see much faster than humans and they
can spot movement much better.
A bird’s eyeballs may seem tiny, but a large part of the eye is hidden by the bird’s eyelid and skull.
The eye is one of the largest parts of a bird’s head and can sometimes even weigh more than a
bird’s brain. It is estimated that a bird’s eyeballs account for about 15% of the weight of the head.
In contrast, a human’s eyes account for only about 1% of the total weight of the head.
Birds’ sight is specially adapted for their own individual needs. Human eyes work together as a
pair to see straight ahead, but with birds, each eye can also see independently of the other eye.
This is the reason why different bird species have eyes in different positions. The pigeon has eyes
on the side of its head. This means it is capable of seeing almost everywhere around it apart from
directly above the head. The woodcock’s eyes are situated closer to the top of the head and the
bird can therefore see what’s behind it. It can still see what is in front and above the head as well.
Birds that catch fish sometimes have eyes set lower on the head so that they can see what’s below
them. This helps birds such as cormorants to skim the water and see the fish below the surface.
Of course the eagle is famous for its vision, and the bald eagle has astounding visual capabilities.
An eagle’s eye is almost as large as a human eye, but it has perfect vision that is four times sharper
than a human’s. This majestic bird can see both forward and to the side, and focus on both at the
same time. A hawk can see a mouse on the ground from a distance of over two kilometres.
Even more impressive is the fact that birds can see in colour. Scientists believe that birds see
colour in much the same way as humans do, but a bird’s eyeball is more complex than ours. They
have a special area in the eye which contains coloured droplets of oil. The quantity of oil and the
location and colour of the droplets of oil vary from species to species. This indicates that even
colour vision for birds is specially designed for their individual needs. For example, a kingfisher
has more oil droplets than most birds. Scientists think the extra droplets help kingfishers block
some of the bright glare from the water when they are fishing for food. A pigeon has drops of
bright yellow oil in the bottom portion of its eyeball. Scientists believe this might help to dull the
brightness of the blue sky during flight.
We often speak of having ‘a bird’s-eye view’. This

can take on new meaning when we realise just how
sophisticated their vision really is. It’s easy to understand
how even the smallest human movement can cause
birds feeding nearby to fly away. Bird-watching humans
will still keep spying and birds will still spot
us. After all, they do have the advantage of
a bird’s-eye view.

Exercise 5
Read the following article about ebooks, which are electronic versions of printed books. On the
opposite page, write a summary about the advantages AND disadvantages of ebooks.
Your summary should be about 100 words long (and no more than 120 words long). You should
use your own words as far as possible.
EBOOKS
As with any newly available technological product, the ebook is causing
plenty of excitement around the globe. Ebooks can be stored and read on
a variety of electronic devices including laptop computers, mobile phones
and specialist handheld devices. What was once a thing of science fiction
is now widely available to the general public in a variety of styles, and
sales of electronic devices are rocketing. The ebook has both advantages
and disadvantages in comparison to the printed book, and whether you love it or hate it, the
ebook is here to stay.
One of the main advantages of buying an ebook to read is that it is inexpensive. There are
no printing costs, storage fees or postage involved. Therefore, prices can remain low, which
is always an attractive proposition for both the consumer and the publisher. The device which
stores ebooks is also quite small, which makes it very easy to carry. A standard device can
hold literally thousands of ebooks. This means a wealth of information and entertainment can
be stored in an economical way.
One of the reasons that regular readers give for buying ebooks is that they are so useful
when travelling. There is no need to worry about the weight of books in luggage or the space
they occupy. The problem of not having enough to read when in a foreign country disappears
because any ebook can be chosen and as soon as the payment is processed the ebook can be
downloaded in an instant. Ebooks can also be read in poor light as many devices have a built-
in light, which makes them fantastic for travelling and night-time reading.
It is also worth noting that ebooks can be written in a special code which means that any ebook
can be translated into one of many languages by using simple commands. This has made them
popular prizes in online competitions.
Many students enjoy using screens more than using pen and paper, and so ebooks can be
a particularly good way of attracting reluctant readers. Such students may also enjoy the
‘scripting opportunities’, which give the reader the chance to choose their own ending to the
story. Of course, no forests need to be chopped down to provide paper for ebooks; the ebook is
proving to be beneficial environmentally as well.
However, not everything is better in the world of ebooks. They cannot be shared as easily as
printed books. Once downloaded to the device, they are yours to keep but cannot legally be
transferred.
For people who enjoy the printed page, the ebook may feel strange to read. Reading from a
screen might not feel as familiar and comfortable as reading from a book. A paper book can be
opened and the pages flicked through; no technical knowledge is needed. However, it may take
some time to learn how to find your way around an ebook device.
In addition, ebook devices have an uncertain life span. Paper lasts much longer than most
digital forms of storage. Technology is constantly changing and so it is difficult to judge whether
the software or hardware will become outdated, and the reader could then be left with a
collection of books that is no longer accessible. For the enthusiastic reader and collector of
books, this thought may be just enough for them to decide to continue buying paper books and
resist the idea of the ebook.

Exercise 1
Read the following article about places to visit in France, and then answer the questions on the opposite
page.
VISITING FRANCE
France offers great opportunities for visitors and a wide variety of different types of holiday.
Countryside and villages

There is plenty to see in the French countryside, including beautiful wooded valleys, rivers and
gorges. In most areas of France you can find pretty villages, especially in central Alsace, in the
countryside of Normandy and along the river in the Dordogne.
Castles
France is famous for its wonderful architecture, and two areas in France are particularly visited for
their attractive castles. The Loire valley to the south-west of Paris is best known for its large houses
or castles called ‘chateaux’, which were built by rich noblemen and kings from Paris. Towards the
south of France the Dordogne is famous for its medieval castles.
Mountains
The impressive mountains of the French Alps are popular in both summer and winter for skiing.
The area attracts skiers of all abilities, from beginners to experts. Less visited by overseas visitors,
the Pyrenees offer an attractive alternative to the French Alps for people interested in skiing or a
holiday in the mountains.
Beaches
France has thousands of beaches to meet every requirement. Some of the most popular beaches
with sun-seekers are those along the French Riviera, where high temperatures are almost
guaranteed during the summer months. The long sandy beaches of the Atlantic Coast north of
Biarritz are also well worth visiting, as is the very picturesque coast of Brittany.
Family fun
Among the most popular regions for people visiting France with children are the beaches of
the western coast such as those found in the Vendee department, which also has several large
attractions and events for families. Another favourite destination here is Ile de Ré, well known
for having lots of cycle paths which make it a pleasure for families to travel around. In addition,
amusement parks such as Disneyland and Asterix in the north of France offer great fun for both
children and adults.
Paris
Everyone loves Paris, as much for its café life and general romantic atmosphere as for the more
famous sights such as the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame Cathedral and the Louvre museum. The Metro
makes it easy to travel around the city and everywhere you go there is something new and exciting
to discover.
Eating out
Wherever you choose to visit, remember that good food is appreciated and widely known about
throughout France. Eating out is generally inexpensive, outside the large cities. A decent two
course lunch will cost about 12 euros. It is not necessary to leave a tip for the waiter or waitress
because the service charge is now included in the bill. However, most people still leave a small tip,
especially for good service.

Exercise 2
Read the following article about spices, and then answer the questions on the opposite page.
SPICES
By the year 1000, Arabian traders had found many wonderful treasures in India, but perhaps the most
precious trading goods were spices. These traders brought rare and exotic spices such as cumin and
coriander from India. They then supplied these spices to their countrymen and to Europe. Through this
trade they were able to make fortunes.
Today, when spices are cheaper and more widely available, it seems unbelievable that they were once a
royal luxury and that men were willing to risk their lives to acquire them. In 1497, four tiny ships sailed
southward from Portugal, under the guidance of Captain Vasco da Gama. He was searching for a new
route to the spice lands of Asia. In a two-year journey that covered 38,624 kilometres, he took his
ships around the continent of Africa to India and back to Portugal. Although only two of the four ships
returned safely to their home port, they brought back a cargo of spices worth 60 times the cost of the
voyage, making da Gama a wealthy man. Rich people were eager to exchange their gold for his pepper
and cinnamon. Cinnamon was particularly valued for use in funeral ceremonies when a wealthy person
died. Vanilla was another favourite of the rich because, when mixed with cacao, it made a previously
unknown, delicious drink. Pepper was the most precious spice of all, often used as a form of money,
particularly when rent had to be paid.
Da Gama’s successful voyage started a European power struggle for control over the spice trade. For
three centuries afterwards, the nations of western Europe fought violent battles at sea. Some people
believe that the wealth made from the spice trade in the past is similar to the wealth of oil companies
today.
The people of those times used spices, as we do today, to improve or vary the flavours of their
food. Spices were also used to disguise the taste of food that was not fresh. Without the addition
of spices it would have been too unpleasant to eat. In times when there was no refrigeration,
spices were also used for preserving food, such as meat, for a year or more.
In the 16th century, cloves were commonly used both to preserve food and
for medicinal purposes. It is fascinating to note that cloves are still used in
the same way in some modern food. Later, mustard and ground mustard
were also found to have preservative qualities. When spices were not
available, people often went hungry because they could not prevent their
food from going bad.
Today, we use spices to flavour our food but do not have to spend a large amount of money to
purchase them. Nevertheless, the total amount that countries spend on importing spices continues to
be significant.
Many people around the world work in very difficult conditions to produce spices for us. Much of the
work is done by hand and very specific skills are needed. These skills have been handed down from
generation to generation, but there is now some concern that younger people no longer want to do
this sort of work because they prefer to go to the cities and work in office jobs.

Exercise 3
Adirake Boonmee lives at 275 Rama Avenue, Rajatevee, Bangkok 10210, which is in Thailand. He has
a job at the weekends and has been saving his money for quite some time in order to buy his mother a
special present for her birthday. He is quite proud of himself as he has now saved 100 dollars. He has a
bank card and so he will be able to make the purchase without any problems. This will be his mother’s
40th birthday and Adirake’s father has planned a surprise trip to a beach resort, which is her favourite
place for a break. Adirake wants to buy his mother some perfume. She is always talking about the
latest perfumes, but she rarely buys any for herself because she usually spends her money on treats
for other members of the family. His mother works very hard as an accountant and has to meet many
people during her working day. Adirake knows that she likes to smell good when she is working.
Adirake realises that he has a big problem because he has no idea which perfume to buy for his
mother. His mother has two bottles of perfume. Adirake smelt each one when she was out at work, but
he really couldn’t work out whether there was one fragrance that seemed to be the same in each of
them. He did realise that they were both quite flowery, which made sense, as his mother loves filling the
house with sweet-smelling flowers. He also noticed that both bottles were made of glass and looked
very attractive. Again, that was not surprising because his mother loves crystal vases and admires
ornaments made of cut glass.
Adirake asked his father for advice on which perfume to buy. His father just joked and said that Adirake’s
mother loved the smell of her favourite hot drinking chocolate, but he admitted that he really did not
know anything about perfume. Adirake then decided to call his aunt to see if she could be more helpful.
Unfortunately, she was away for a couple of days and so he just left her a message asking her to call
him back on his mobile/cell phone, 0866551975. Adirake realised that he would have to make the
decision about the perfume purchase on his own and decided to go online to try to find an answer to
his problem. After some time searching, he was delighted to find a company which seemed to be able
to help him. He had to answer some questions on a form, and according to his answers, the company
would recommend the perfect perfume. The form was specially designed to be completed by someone
who wants to buy perfume as a gift for someone else. After the perfume had been identified it could
be ordered on the internet from the same company. Finally, Adirake knew which perfume to buy his
mother.

Exercise 4
Read the following article about mobile phones, and then complete the notes on the opposite page.
MOBILE PHONES
More than half the people in the world now pay to use a mobile or cell phone. Recent estimates
show that there are 4.1 billion mobile phone subscriptions, up from 1 billion in 2002. Over the
same period, land-line subscriptions rose more slowly, from 1 billion to 1.27 billion, indicating
that many people are rejecting the older technology altogether.
For many parents, knowing that their children can call them in an
emergency situation saves them a lot of worry. They are confident
that their child can reach them at the push of a button. Similarly, in an
accident, a mobile phone makes contacting emergency services much
faster; there is no longer any need to wait for a kind person nearby to
lend a hand. People on holiday appreciate the fact that if they want to call
home, they do not have to struggle with public phones with unfamiliar
dialling codes.
The mobile phone industry was initially aimed at business people, and it is easy to see the
advantages. They have access to clients 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and clients can contact
them at any time as well. This means they are always able to do business. Mobile phones with
multimedia capabilities also allow users to check their work email, which is useful for business
people who are frequently out of the office. Mobile phones that have dual SIM card capability
are convenient for business people. They can then use their phone for both private and business
purposes without needing more than one phone.
Many people have become so attached to their mobile phone that it is almost like an extra body
part. However, some are still unconvinced of the huge power of the mobile. While there are
obvious advantages to carrying a mobile phone, it is easy to overlook some of the problems that
can be caused.
Some people feel that although ease of access makes mobile phones so convenient for business
people, it can be a problem for the rest of us. There are many people who like to keep their
public and private lives separate. A mobile phone can destroy the barrier between the two
worlds. For example, if regular mobile phone users have to send their devices away for repair
or service, they are amazed by the sense of freedom they feel when no-one can contact them.
Many parents express doubt about the overall benefit of the mobile phone to their children.
Some parents have noticed changes particularly in the behaviour of their teenage children. They
have noticed that some show extreme anxiety if they miss a call or text message. Some teenagers
show signs of depression when they do not have access to their mobile phone. Others face
problems at school if they are not allowed to have their phones in class. Although not everyone
wants to define this obsession as a ‘disease’, an increasing number of clinics are treating it in
the same way as they would any other serious addiction. Perhaps even more seriously, research
has shown that over 20% of car accidents involving teenagers occurred while they were driving
and using their mobile phone at the same time.
Whether we like it or not, there is no doubt that the mobile phone is here to stay.

Exercise 1
Read the following article about airports, and then answer the questions on the opposite page.
AIRPORT TERMINALS
There was a time, not so long ago, when terminal buildings
at airports in major international cities were very unattractive.
Fortunately, famous architects are now transforming these
terminals into works of art. Not everyone likes all the new
designs, but the five featured here have certainly been
admired, and have inspired many discussions.
INCHEON, SOUTH KOREA

The terminal building at Incheon airport shows the best of traditional Korean design, and at
the same time it is a futuristic model of efficiency. Before starting work, the architect travelled
throughout the country. He visited ancient places and studied the design of religious buildings.
The roofline of the terminal is similar to that of a Korean temple, and unusually for an airport,
there are precious objects on display inside that are thousands of years old.
JEDDAH, SAUDI ARABIA

Unlike the rest of the terminal buildings mentioned in this article, one of the terminals at
Jeddah airport is only in operation during Hajj, the Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca, which takes
place once a year. This temporary, open-air terminal is covered with 210 white fibreglass tents.
These tents help to cool the desert air by as much as 10 degrees Celsius without the need for
air conditioning.
MADRID, SPAIN
The terminal here was built to provide the 50 million passengers who pass through it each year
with a spacious, stress-free zone, where they can begin or end their journeys. Glass-panelled
walls allow in plenty of light which creates this calming effect. There is a gently rolling roofline
constructed from long beams of pale bamboo, and there are pylons that change colour as you
walk through the terminal.
SINGAPORE
Singapore’s Changi airport has a cinema and a children’s playground with a gigantic slide.
There’s no doubt that it is one of the world’s most action-packed terminals. It is also one of the
most beautiful. The ‘butterfly’ roof has 919 skylights, which adjust to allow just the right amount
of daylight inside. At night, these same skylights glow with lighting carefully hidden below the
panels. The terminal’s most dramatic feature, however, is the vertical garden, also known as
‘The Green Wall’, which has four waterfalls and spans nearly 300 metres across the main
building.
MONTEVIDEO, URUGUAY
The beauty of this new terminal is its simplicity. The entire structure is under
a gently arching rooftop that sweeps 350 metres across the landscape. The
building is designed to blend in with its environment, and it offers a wide-
open, welcoming public space, which is enjoyed by passengers and the
loved ones who come to greet them. In Uruguay, it is still a tradition, and it
is still possible, to meet your family and friends as they come off the plane.

Exercise 2
Read the following article about the future of higher education, and then answer the questions on the
opposite page.
THE FUTURE OF UNIVERSITY EDUCATION

The world’s higher education system must provide for 80 million more students by
2025. It has been calculated that this will require building three new universities
every week for the next 13 years. Governments agree that it is impossible to build so
many universities, and so the future of higher education will definitely be online.
The potential benefits of online learning are enormous. At the moment a typical university student
needs a large amount of money to cover the cost of tuition and living expenses. The aim of online
learning is to cut these costs. Learning will be cheaper and all students will be able to afford it.
However, in order for online learning to become widely accepted, universities must be prepared
to change and co-operate closely. This is the only way to improve the quality of online education
resources. The idea of a student as someone who goes to a classroom to learn from a teacher will
disappear. We have already changed the way in which we shop. We no longer have to go out to buy
products and services because shopping can be done from home. We now have to adapt to the idea
that we might not need to go to lecture halls and classrooms to study for a degree.
This should not be a threat to universities and colleges. Most countries in the world want to increase
the percentage of the population with a degree. Online learning offers the opportunity to teach many
more students than we do now. One university could potentially have a million students. Young
students nowadays like to spend time in groups with their friends; but in future, communication with
fellow students will all be virtual. Older learners currently find it difficult to take part in on-campus
courses because of work and home responsibilities. These people will find learning online very
convenient as they will be able to study at home in their own time.

Some universities are concerned that, by making knowledge freely available online, they will become
little more than providers of certificates. The worry is that students will study material online free of
charge, after which they will search for universities or colleges that are willing to test them, and if
they pass, provide them with an appropriate certificate. Universities say that if this happens, they will
not be able to survive financially.
Others argue that it can be an advantage for universities to offer online resources, as long as they
have a thorough system of testing, and provide recognised qualifications. They may find that their staff
have more time for other work, such as medical research, which could eventually benefit all of us.
People may not be happy to pay for tuition at a university with a poor reputation, preferring to attend
a free, virtual one. Students will continue to pay, however, for a qualification from one of the top
universities. These diplomas, certificates and degrees will be evidence of the quality of their learning,
and universities will have to find ways of charging for these. Some say that it will be sad to lose the
picture of today’s students all gathered together on graduation day to receive their certificates. In the
future, graduation day may be a quiet individual celebration at home.

Exercise 3
Andrzej Nowak is Polish, and lives at 42 Aleje Nowe, 26-600 Radom in Poland. He is in his final year
of studying for his A Levels at the English Medium Border Academy. Andrzej is the youngest of five
children, and was born in 1996 on 16th December. Ever since he was a small child he knew that he
wanted to be a veterinary surgeon. He is aware that he will probably have to study veterinary science
for five years before he qualifies as a vet. Andrzej also knows that his parents will not be able to afford
university fees for such a long course. There are no universities that offer this course close to his home,
and so he would have to pay for accommodation as well. Andrzej understands that it would be difficult
for his parents to pay for this.
Nevertheless, Andrzej has already researched various universities in the UK. He wants to study in the
UK because his level of spoken and written English is excellent. He has found out that the course at
London University is good. Southampton University seems even better because of its focus on wild
animals. He has visited the UK once, just after he took his IGCSEs. The trip was a very special one
because he stayed with his eldest brother, who had moved there some years ago. During this holiday,
Andrzej met someone who was studying at Bristol University. This neighbour invited Andrzej to go with
him to the university on a few occasions. Andrzej was amazed by the facilities and he wished that he
could go there himself. Bristol University would be his dream choice because it offers an interesting
course, including practical experience with all sorts of animals, not just domestic ones.
Andrzej’s mother and father are very concerned about their son as they know that he is clever and
that his teachers are expecting him to get four grade As in his A Levels. They do not want him to be
disappointed all his life if he is unable to achieve his ambition. Mr Nowak advised his son to search the
internet for information about scholarships. Andrzej had not tried to find out if any universities offered
a free course to exceptional students, but he immediately started researching the topic and he found
a few possibilities. He narrowed his search to two organisations that offer scholarships specifically for
people who want to study a science-related course at a university in the UK. Andrzej explained to his
father that if the fees were covered by the scholarship, he could stay with his brother. This would be
cheaper than studying in another town in his own country.
Imagine you are Andrzej. Fill in the form on the opposite page, using the information above.

Exercise 1
Read the following article about the cacao tree, and then answer the questions on the opposite page.
Spotlight on Chocolate
In this month’s magazine, Anna Lee, our expert on agricultural matters, reports on a trip to Belize.
Like many people, I love chocolate, and on a recent visit to Central

America, I found out more about where this delicious, sweet-tasting
substance comes from.
Cacao Trees
I travelled deep into the beautiful rainforest in Belize. There, I was

introduced to the cacao tree farmers whose crop is used for making
chocolate. The farmers pointed to colourful pods the size of footballs
growing straight out of the cacao tree trunk. They told me that one
pod of white beans contains enough cacao to make two small bars
of chocolate.
Making Chocolate
After the cacao beans have been harvested, the growers send them to a factory where they are
roasted and turned into an oily paste called cocoa liquor. Some of this liquor goes straight into
chocolate; the rest is pressed to make cocoa butter. If you have ever wondered why chocolate melts
in your mouth, it is due to the addition of cocoa butter, which melts at body temperature. In order to
make different kinds of chocolate, sugar and vanilla are also added in varying amounts.
Growing Cacao
In Belize, the farmers that I spoke to were proud to be growing cacao the traditional way. This age-old
method has many advantages: the cacao trees are shaded by the tall forest canopy, which prevents
the trees drying out when it gets hot. Furthermore, in this environment natural predators thrive, and
they destroy the insects that would eat the cacao crop. The farmers also showed me the cacao leaf
litter which covers the forest floor. Leaf litter is a thick layer of fallen leaves, which enriches the soil
and helps plants grow. Without leaf litter, chemical fertilisers have to be used, which can get into
streams and pollute the water supply.
The farmers that I met knew about protecting the rainforest. But in other areas, not all growers are as
environmentally aware. Some growers cut down the rainforest and plant cacao trees on the cleared
ground. Cacao trees grow well in sunshine, but this way of farming can cause problems for the
ecosystem.
Organic Chocolate
If you buy chocolate, consider buying organic chocolate. The organic approach to growing cacao
supports the rainforests as well as the farmers and their families.
Competition!
Enter our chocolate competition and if you win, you will receive a ticket to visit the Maya Gold
chocolate factory. To enter the competition, just tell us where Maya Gold chocolate comes from. Put
your answer on a postcard, and remember to give us your name, address and age.

Exercise 2
Read the following article about the Tyrannosaurus rex, and then answer the questions on the opposite
page.
T-rex
Millions of years after its lifetime, the dinosaur Tyrannosaurus rex (T-rex)
has become a legend. More than any other extinct creature, T-rex has gripped
our imagination. Children in particular enjoy learning about dinosaurs and
playing with models of T-rex. Just over a century ago, however, no-one knew
that such a creature had ever walked the earth.
People have known about dinosaurs since the 1820s, but it was not until 1905 that the most fearsome dinosaur,
T-rex, was identified. T-rex was about the height of a two-storey building, with a bite eight times greater than a
lion’s and, if alive today, it could easily swallow an adult human whole.
T-rex inhabited swampland and forest in the part of the world we now call North America. Dinosaurs became
extinct about 65 million years ago, during the end of the Cretaceous period, and T-rex was one of the last dinosaur
species to exist.
The story of the discovery of T-rex is complex. The first significant T-rex finds were a fossilised jaw and backbone,
which were unearthed in 1901 by an expert from the American Museum of Natural History, Barnum Brown. The
specimens were found on a river bank in Wyoming. In the next few years, Brown made further discoveries of fossilised
parts of the T-rex neck and leg. Brown’s most successful find came in 1908. One day, on his way back from camp,
he noticed four tail bones sticking out from a sandstone hillside, and he was excited to see that the parts belonged to
another T-rex skeleton. Using a plough, then dynamite, he gradually exposed more bones and a complete skull.
All the bones were sent to a museum in New York, where experts reconstructed a T-rex skeleton. This first T-rex
reconstruction went on display in the American Museum of Natural History in 1915, where it still stands today.
T-rex was thought to be the largest meat-eating dinosaur, until 10 years ago, when a creature two tonnes heavier was
identified in South America.
In the hundred years since its discovery, T-rex has continued to intrigue the public. Children are always enthusiastic
about visiting exhibitions which feature T-rex. It may be the enormous size of T-rex that people find so amazing, or
its strange and ferocious appearance. Museum reconstructions show that an average adult T-rex weighed 7 tonnes,
stood up to 4 m tall and 12 m long. Its pointed, rigid tail aided movement and helped to counterbalance the enormous
head. The jaws contained 50–60 sharp teeth, which, unlike those of other species, could grow again when broken.
These teeth were perfect for eating meat.
Analysis of the skull indicates that T-rex had a very strong sense of smell. Scientists have established that all
dinosaurs had tough, scaly skin, but there is no evidence to indicate their original colour. It is possible that the
creature developed camouflage to increase the chances of survival. In addition, no-one can say how many bones
T-rex had, as a complete specimen has yet to be discovered.
Some experts believe that T-rex

Exercise 3
Leila Ranjit and her twin brother, Eric, attend Lakeview Community School, 1767 Falling Leaf Avenue,
Toronto, L3J 6T8, in Canada, where they are both studying for a travel and tourism qualification. Leila
and her brother are keen to get a job with an airline when they leave school. Leila was doing some
research for her coursework when she found out about the Airline Training Partnership (ATP). This local
organisation offers students the chance to do work experience, and Leila and her brother were very
interested in the opportunity.
The twins’ travel and tourism teacher, Mr Wilson, agreed that the work experience would be of benefit,
and he applied to ATP for the twins to attend. Leila and her brother were delighted when Mr Wilson
told them they had been given a full day’s work experience on 21 June, starting at 9am. This was a
particularly special day for them as it was also their 17th birthday.
The training took place at a special training facility on an airfield. Their parents were excited about this
opportunity for the twins and they drove them to the local train station, where they caught a train to the
airfield.
On arrival at ATP Leila, Eric and other work experience students from different schools, met some
airline representatives who were very well informed and answered all their questions. They went on a
tour of different kinds of aircraft and even went into the cockpits where they had a go at the controls.
They each had a turn at using a flight simulator and practised take-off and landing of an aircraft. The
twins also watched a film about what cabin crew have to do if there is an emergency. At the end of the
day, the twins met a pilot, who talked about his experiences flying around the world.
During their excellent lunch, the twins were presented with a surprise birthday cake. All the work
experience participants wished them a very happy birthday. After this, they went back on board and
were given emergency-type situations to manage on one of the planes, just as if they were real cabin
crew. It was fun dealing with smoke in the kitchen and going down the emergency chute, but Leila feels
she will never forget the excitement of climbing onto a life raft.
Leila loved showing her friends the photographs she had taken, especially those of the practical tasks
she had carried out in the afternoon, which made the experience interesting. This confirmed for her
that she wanted to work in the travel industry. Eric felt that the life-saving skills that he had learned
made him think he might like to work in the fire service. The twins loved the day and felt that the staff
had been very friendly and informative. Leila hopes that her school will allow other students to have the
same opportunity in future.
ATP ask work experience participants to complete a feedback questionnaire.
Imagine you are Leila. Fill in the questionnaire, using the information above.

Exercise 4
Read the following article about the uses of garlic, and then complete the notes on the opposite page.
Garlic: the lifesaver

Often bitter, sometimes sweet, garlic is a real attack on the senses. Love it or
hate it, it is impossible to ignore this ancient member of the onion family, and
it might just save your life.
Garlic dates back over 6 000 years, and is a native plant of central Asia. In
ancient Egypt, garlic was included in religious ceremonies. Interestingly, clay
models of garlic have been found in the tomb of Tutankhamun. Apart from its
spiritual uses the Egyptians valued it as a form of currency when
exchanging goods. The Romans thought of it in health terms, as an internal
cleanser.
Today, garlic is used as a seasoning in Asia, Africa and Europe. It is appreciated by cooks because
it has a distinctive taste and can bring out the flavour of other ingredients. It is also easy to grow, as
long as you protect it from birds. They mistake the emerging garlic bulbs for worms and enjoy eating
them. After harvesting, the garlic can be dried in the sun, or in an airy place for the skin to mature
so that it remains fresh for longer.
In scientific terms, garlic is a member of the allium family, which includes onions, leeks and chives.
Crushing garlic produces allicin, which is known to scientists for its unique health-giving properties.
It is also the substance which gives garlic its characteristic aroma.
Scientists are researching the health benefits of garlic and have discovered some encouraging
facts. In the well respected scientific investigation called the ‘Seven Countries Study’, scientists
found a clear connection between the consumption of garlic and low rates of heart disease, even
when other factors which might also reduce heart disease, such as a healthy diet, were taken
into account. Furthermore, studies in Asian countries found that eating garlic every day reduced
the rates of some kinds of cancer. Some people who suffer from asthma have said their health
improved after they began to include garlic in their diet, but so far there is not enough scientific
evidence for doctors to recommend it for this condition.
It seems wise to include garlic in your diet, but only in moderate amounts. Eating excessive
amounts of garlic can be harmful, because the high sulphur content destroys the natural bacteria
in the gut. This can cause the irritating skin condition, dermatitis. It has also been known to cause
a distressing and painful inflammation of the stomach. There has even been some evidence that a
very high intake of garlic can cause difficulties with blood clotting.
Garlic has always been part of people’s diet in some parts of the world, but in other areas it is a
more recent addition and is increasing in popularity. For people who like eating garlic, but who are
worried about their breath smelling of it, the best cure seems to be to take a sauna or just sweat a
lot. This is far more effective than eating mint or chewing parsley. An informal alternative is to make
sure your close friends eat the same amount of garlic as you do.

Exercise 1
Read the following article about birthday celebrations, and then answer the questions on the opposite
page.
Happy Birthday!
People around the world celebrate their birthdays in many different ways. Here are some
examples of customs from different countries:
United Kingdom:
A special cake is made and small candles are put on the top. The person celebrating their
birthday has to blow out all the candles at the same time if their wishes are to come true. Then all
their family and friends sing a song wishing them a happy birthday. Some people also like to give
the birthday boy or girl ‘the bumps’. This means that one person holds their legs, another person
holds their arms, and then they lift them up and down, bumping them each time they touch the
ground. The number of bumps is the same as the person’s age, and then one extra bump is given
for good luck.
Germany:
Small candles are placed in a special birthday candle holder and put on the dining table. Then
a large, beautifully decorated candle is placed in the centre. The candles are lit early in the
morning and kept burning until the evening, when the birthday boy or girl has to try and blow
out all the candles with one breath. One interesting custom involves single men celebrating their
30th birthday. They have to take a brush and sweep the steps of the city hall. At the same time,
some friends throw rubbish onto the steps, making them more difficult to clean. In this way, all
the women can see which man is still single at 30, and they can find out whether he is good at
cleaning.
Brazil:
On their birthday, Brazilian children usually enjoy eating sweets which are in the shape of fruit
and vegetables. Their homes are decorated with banners and brightly coloured flowers. Adults
and older children pull the ears of the birthday boy or girl, one pull for every year of their age.
There is a cake and the birthday boy or girl has to give the first slice to their most special friend
or relative.
Mexico:
A model of an animal is made out of papier-mâché. It is filled with sweets and good things to eat,
and then hung from the ceiling. The birthday boy’s or girl’s eyes are then covered up, and they try
to hit the animal shape until it breaks open and the sweets fall out. Then they share the contents
with family and friends and they all sing a birthday song.
Canada:
In Canada, it is traditional for Canadians to cover the birthday boy’s or girl’s nose with butter. The
idea is that the greasy nose makes it too slippery for bad luck to stick to them. They hope that
only good luck will follow them for a year.

Exercise 2
Read the following article about cities of the future, and then answer the questions on the opposite
page.
Cities for tomorrow

Imagine a city of the future. Do you see clean streets, flying cars and robots doing all the work?
No-one really knows what the future holds, but the reality now is that our urban spaces are
overcrowded and polluted.
Almost 50% of the world’s population currently lives in cities, and by 2050 that is expected to
increase to 75%, which will put pressure on resources. Experts say that it is time to start designing
better urban environments. We need new cities to sustain an ever-growing population, and we
have to redesign the ones that we have lived in for centuries.
There seem to be two main opinions about how
Current Population of Major Cities
16 cities should look in the future. There are some
15 planners who believe that we need to go back to
14
13 a simpler life, and others who think that advanced

12 technology will solve all the problems.

1 space and have vegetable gardens on their roofs.
0 Many people are attracted to growing their own
Istanbul New Shanghai Buenos Mumbai Lagos
York Aires food, and we may need to combine urbanisation
with a more rural lifestyle.
On the other hand, computer experts believe that the answer may lie with the use of electronic
technology. “The use of this technology will bring a wide range of new services to citizens,” says
Professor James. “Many of the big technology companies believe that the most efficient cities will
be those that are connected to networks. One company already has 2,000 projects in cities around
the world. These projects include crime prevention, recording water usage and smarter public
transport systems. This company’s most important project is in Rio de Janeiro, where it has built
an operations centre which controls the city. This centre was first built to help manage the floods
that regularly threaten Rio de Janeiro. It now co-ordinates 30 government agencies and provides
mobile applications to inform people about traffic problems, and to give other city updates. There
is clear evidence that the number of accidents has fallen because drivers take greater care if they
have advance warning of incidents.”
However, critics such as Fatima Khan question how quickly this kind of city may become outdated,
just like the computer systems they rely on. Professor James responds to such concerns by
explaining that developers are constantly updating systems. He also says, “In our experience,
although some people are worried about loss of privacy, most people are happy for us to collect
data, as long as they are informed.” He explains about a project his company completed, where
households were given information about their water consumption. Most people quickly changed
their habits and saved water when they realised how much they were using. Those who also had
access to their neighbours’ information saved twice as much.
Ms Khan is concerned that ordinary citizens will no longer have a voice in the development of their
cities. She is convinced that successful cities will be able to provide something for everybody, but
only if everyone is involved in planning and creating them. The developers building the cities of the
future would be advised to take notice of her views.

Exercise 3
Emergency Loan
Robert Harley is a 19-year-old British student who is nearly at the end of his second year at university.
He is studying World Literature at the University of Portsmouth and hopes to get a Bachelor of Arts
degree when he finishes his three-year course. It had always been his dream to go to university but he
has been worried about the cost of it. His mother, who is a widow, has worked very hard to support him
and his two sisters, and he does not want to ask her for any money. He applied for a student loan to pay
his fees and accommodation costs, and he was awarded the maximum amount available. He managed
the first year very well, without having to ask for any help. He had hoped to get a job in the holidays
after his first year, but he found it impossible.
During term time, he shares a house with three other students at 48, Hook Lane, Portsmouth
PO13 7AG. Last year, he was in a hall of residence, and he preferred living there because the cost was
very straightforward and included all the bills. This year, Robert has found it quite difficult to manage his
money in a sensible way, and now he is very worried because he is starting to fall into debt. When he
started to share a house, he forgot to calculate how much he would have to pay for heating and water.
Robert also had a very big expense when he went to France for three days to attend a conference
on European Literature. He had to borrow £100 from one of his friends when they were in France,
because everything was much more expensive than he had expected. He now owes £300 in rent, and
he knows that he does not have enough money to pay his share of the electricity bill, which is £40. He
has just had a bill for £50 for his phone, number 07358469654, and he does not know how he will pay
that. His bank account, number 975300 at The National Bank in Portsmouth, is practically empty, and
he will not get his next student loan payment until September.
Robert hopes that he will be able to find a job this summer, but he knows that he will not be able to
make enough money to pay off his debts and support himself. He refuses to tell his mother about his
problems because he does not want to worry her. Last week, he went to the Student Advice Centre
and explained that he was £490 in debt. The advisor there was very helpful. He gave Robert some
information about a special scheme that the university has, to help students who are in financial
difficulty. Robert discovered that he can apply for an emergency loan from the university, and so he has
decided to see if he can get £1,000 to help sort himself out before next term.
Imagine you are Robert. Fill in the form on the opposite page, using the information above.

Exercise 4
Read the following article about second-hand markets in the UK, and then complete the notes on the
opposite page.
Second-hand Markets
The second-hand market has now become a very popular British event. It is not complicated; you
load your car with things you no longer want, drive to a field and park next to other people doing
the same thing. Then open the back of your car, take out the goods you want to sell and put them
on a table.
As these second-hand markets have developed, they have become more sophisticated, but it is
still inexpensive items that most shoppers are looking for. Buyers know that the starting price will
probably not be the final price they have to pay, and for many buyers, half the fun is bargaining
over the price. If you are a seller, it is very important to be friendly to your customers, because
if you can engage a customer in conversation, it is amazing what they will buy. For example, at
a sale a few weeks ago, an old chess set, with some pieces missing, was sold to a very happy
customer. One seller happily reported he had made an impressive £118 profit, even though he
had to pay £6 to park his car, and another £3 for the hot chocolate that he bought to warm himself
up. It was a bitterly cold day and he had forgotten to bring along a piece of cardboard to stand on,
a well-known trick of the regular sellers to keep their feet warm.
There are some amazing stories, such as the one about a valuable vase which was sold at a
market for £1 in 2008, and which later sold for £32,450 at an antiques auction. Jane Smith, a
regular visitor to second-hand markets, has her own story to tell. “It is a good idea to arrive early
to try to get the best goods. Once I bought a ring for £2 and I later discovered it was real gold and
diamonds, valued at £1,200. I didn’t sell it; I now wear it as a good luck charm!” Sellers are always
advised to check that they are not selling something at a give-away price which is actually very
valuable.
If a seller asks for too much money, customers will move on. However, if you ask for too little, they
might still move on. Once, a woman had some nicely packaged soap. Several women stopped
and asked, “What scent is it?” When the woman could not tell them, they walked away. Even at a
second-hand market, customers want to be sure that the people who are selling items have some
knowledge of their goods.
There is a great sense of fun at second-hand markets. Buyers should enjoy looking at the variety
of goods without feeling disappointed if they do not actually purchase anything. Sellers also
enjoy doing something different for a few hours, and they know it is best to go for the fun rather
than with a serious intention to make a lot of money. There are no rules and regulations, buyers
must understand they have no rights to return faulty goods. Moreover, you can always be sure of
finding someone stretching the idea of the second-hand market to its limit. Recently there was a
man who was not only selling the contents of the back of his car, but also the car itself.

Exercise 5
Read the following article about exams and revision. On the opposite page, write a summary about the
different things that students can do to ensure exam success.
Your summary should be about 100 words long (and no more than 120 words long).
You should use your own words as far as possible.
EXAM SUCCESS
Some people read textbooks in the bath when revising for exams, while others surround themselves
with notelets covered in facts. There are many ways to revise, but there is no magic formula
guaranteeing exam success. There are a few shortcuts that can make a big difference, but the
exact approach can only be decided by the person who is sitting the exam.
According to Dr. Viv Harman, a specialist in educational assessment from a local university, the first
and most basic point is to make a solid revision plan. She explains, “Research on undergraduates
shows that those who have a working style based on breaking down tasks into small, manageable
parts end up with better degrees.”
Revision should never simply be seen as soaking up knowledge. Pupils should try to get involved in
what they are studying so that they become genuinely interested in the topics. If you are interested
in something, you are more likely to remember it. The number of subjects that students have to
study nowadays is considerable. It is a lot to expect that a young person should find every topic of
every subject fascinating. Some students say that they struggle to find even half the subjects that
they have to learn of any interest at all.
Parents often worry when their children say that they want to revise with a friend. They fear that
when the friends get together, they will start talking about anything other than their studies. But
parents should not necessarily stop their children from revising with a friend, if they are explaining
concepts to one another. This can be one of the best ways to understand a complicated subject.
Explaining something to someone else can often help to clarify your own thinking. If parents try
to intervene too strongly, they may end up turning revision into a battleground. The best way for
mothers and fathers to help is by being supportive. During the final few hours before an exam, they
should do everything to help students to feel relaxed.
Thirty years ago, teachers often complained that they did not have much information about how
examinations were marked, and so they found it difficult to help students do the right thing in an
examination. Nowadays, exam boards publish a lot of information about what they expect. They
even publish their mark schemes, and so everyone knows exactly what the examiners want to see.
Anyone who is sitting an exam needs to have a good knowledge of the mark schemes. Teachers
should pass these on to students because they help to show exactly what the difference is between
an A and a C grade.
Students regularly ask their teachers how much revision they should do. Geoffrey Till, author of the
booklet ‘How to Succeed in Exams’, advises students to start revising early. “For most students,
the hardest thing is getting started. It’s best to study about 10 minutes a night and build up to doing
more revision later,” he says. Many students find that it is advisable to have an intensive study
period followed by a short break. Different people can concentrate for different lengths of time, but it
is important that each student knows what works best for them.
Most students try their best, but they can also take some comfort in remembering that history is full
of famous people who did not do well in exams, but who achieved great things in later life.

in them. More and more schools are looking forward to

the day when all students have their own tablet computer. Go
Teachers realise that their students must be highly skilled in

the use of computers to get good jobs in the future. A few of
the many benefits students will experience if they work with
a tablet are listed below.
Computer Skills
The world is run by computers and it is important that students become skilled at using them. Having
a tablet in the classroom for each student guarantees that they will not suffer any disadvantages if
they do not have a computer at home. As well as gaining general computer skills, students can also
use fantastic tools that can teach computer programming, which will be of benefit in the future.
Music
Students can write their own music and record their own songs. They can download music history
encyclopaedias that provide facts, with interactive songs and music. They can even use special
applications to learn how to play an instrument on the tablet without having to buy the real thing.
Geography
For years, teachers have encouraged students to broaden their knowledge of the world through
things like pen pal programmes and field trips. With video connections as a standard feature on
most tablets, students can interact with a class anywhere in the world. It is an affordable way to see
the world without having to leave the classroom.
Writing
Putting words on paper can be a lonely and boring experience for some students. However, instead
of writing a book review that only your teacher will read, you can write a blog about the book
you are reading, and invite feedback from your classmates. Instant responses and comments can
provide motivation.
Direct Communication
Tablets provide an instant and secure connection between parents and teachers. It may be easy
for students to lose a handwritten note or assignment, but it is not so easy to lose a tablet. The
tablet goes between school and home, so teachers can contact parents and parents can monitor
students’ assignments. If students are away from school for any reason, their teacher can keep
them up to date.
Eco-friendly
Tablets enable huge savings to be made for the environment because they do not use paper.
Imagine how many trees would be saved if students completed 12 years of schooling using a tablet
for all their e-books, assignments, projects and studies.

Exercise 2
Read the following article about silver, and then answer the questions on the opposite page.
SILVER
Silver has been regarded as something precious for thousands of years. There is evidence that it
was highly prized in ancient times, and was used for making plates for rich people. By 700 BCE, it
was used to make coins. The production of silver grew over the centuries, but when Europeans first
went to America, silver began to be used in many new and different ways.
Discoveries of silver across the world and new technologies meant that the mining of silver continued
to grow rapidly everywhere. The weight of silver is measured in troy ounces. By the 19th century,
nearly 120 million troy ounces were being produced annually. Now, more than 5000 years after
ancient cultures first began to mine this precious metal, an average of 671 million troy ounces is
mined every year.

In earlier times, silver was thought to have magical properties and it was considered to be useful in
keeping bad spirits away. Nowadays, most people think of silver in relation to jewellery. The fact is,
however, that silver has many more uses than just looking decorative. It is probably only now that we
are discovering all the possible ways in which silver can be used.
People have known about the anti-bacterial properties of silver for a long time. The ancient
Phoenicians kept water, wine and vinegar in silver vessels to ensure freshness. It is only recently,
however, that scientists have discovered how silver works. Quite simply, silver destroys the ability of
bacteria to form the chemical bonds which are essential to their survival. When bacteria and silver
come into contact, the bacterial cells fall apart. Today, there are bandages and ointments that use
silver as an active ingredient. Silver promotes the growth of new cells, which in turn increases the
rate of healing. This makes silver especially valuable for treating burns and wounds.
Another key use for silver is in the millions of water purifiers that are sold each year. Silver prevents
bacteria from building up in filters so that they can work effectively. Research has shown that silver,
together with oxygen, cleans water. This means that other chemicals, such as chlorine, do not have to
be used. Silver is therefore starting to be added to water purification systems in hospitals, community
water systems and swimming pools. Scientists hope that silver will be able to be used in helping to
produce clean drinking water in countries where water-borne illness is a problem. Current research
shows that this use of silver is an exciting development for the global water supply.
In the past, silver was often used to decorate places of worship, and many people saw it when they
went to pray. Today, there is probably much more silver around us, but we do not necessarily see it.
For example, every time you travel in a motor vehicle you are surrounded by pieces of silver. Every
electrical action in a modern car is activated with silver-coated contacts. Basic functions such as starting
the engine and opening power windows all need a special switch that has a silver covering. Another
important feature for our driving safety is the silver-ceramic lines fitted into the rear window. The heat
created by these lines clears the rear window of mist and ice so that we can see clearly out of it.
Silver is just as valuable today as it has been throughout human history.

Exercise 3
Ajay Banerjee is 18 years old and finished his exams two months ago. To celebrate the end of his
school studies, his family wanted to do something enjoyable together, before he went to university.
They decided to go on a New Discovery Mediterranean cruise, number 39781. He went on the cruise
ship with his parents and grandmother, and the holiday was a great success. They flew from their home
in Delhi, India to London, and then took a train to the port of Southampton in the south of England,
where the ship sailed from. It was a long journey.
Initially, his family was worried about taking his grandmother because she finds it difficult to walk and
sometimes needs to use a wheelchair. However, the cruise company’s arrangements for wheelchair
users were excellent and in fact, they seemed to get priority everywhere. This meant that none of the
family had to worry about any special arrangements and they could all relax and enjoy the holiday.
It was Ajay’s grandmother who had suggested the idea of a cruise because one of her friends had
been on one recently. Ajay and his parents had not really known what to expect, and they were very
pleasantly surprised by most of the facilities and services on board the ship. One thing that was really
outstanding was the food. It was amazing, there was so much choice, and they could eat as much as
they wanted. His grandmother was also worried about the food because she is a strict vegetarian, but
there was plenty of choice for her too. However, it was the cleanliness and comfort of the cabins that
pleased his mother the most. As for Ajay, the highlight of his cruise was the entertainment. There was a
cinema, a theatre and a club where they could dance until very late at night. He only wished that there
had also been a room for computer gaming. There were facilities for sending emails and so Ajay was
able to keep in contact with his friends using his email address, ajaban@bol.net.in
Of course, a cruise takes you to different places, and on this one the family was able to visit five
European countries. Ajay had never been to any of these places before and so he was able to get
a taste of what they were like in the day that they had ashore at each port. All the family agreed that
there was not really enough time ashore. They thought that it would have been better if the ship had
visited fewer places but allowed passengers two days in each port. The excursions were hurried and
there was no time to explore any particular place properly. However, at least Ajay felt that he now knew
which countries he would plan to visit again one day. At the end of the cruise, Ajay agreed to complete
a feedback form.
Imagine you are Ajay. Fill in the form on the opposite page, using the information above.

Exercise 4
Read the following article about the possessions people take with them when they have to leave home
quickly because of a disaster, and then complete the notes on the opposite page.
Precious Objects
Mount Vesuvius, a volcano in Italy, had stood quietly for 700 years until the day in 79CE when it
erupted and killed most of the citizens of Pompeii. Evidence shows that the eruption caught the
local population completely unprepared. When Vesuvius began emitting black clouds of ash and
the danger became more obvious, most people must have tried to run away. So what did they try
to take with them in the hours before the fatal eruption? Archaeologists have discovered many
fascinating objects found with the citizens’ bodies.
There were many practical items found, such as lanterns. Even before nightfall, the city could have
been plunged into darkness before the main eruption, which came shortly after midnight. Some
people had their keys, clearly hopeful that they would be returning home. One young girl was
discovered with a charm bracelet, with more than 40 charms from all over the Roman Empire. “She
may have hoped it would bring her good luck,” says Augusto Berardi, an expert on Pompeii. “It is a
very beautiful object.”
A doctor was found with his medical kit, which included scalpels, forceps and a needle. “We can
never know if this was to save the tools of his trade, or a brave attempt to help the wounded,” says
Berardi.
The possessions of one young woman, found outside Pompeii’s Nola gate, suggest that superstition
and faith played their part as the victims tried desperately to escape from the rising heat and falling
rocks. The ‘Porta Nola’ girl carried a statuette of an Egyptian goddess, which she would probably
have looked at when praying. The girl also wore protective bangles, including one in a special shape
which was thought to protect against the evil eye. It is impossible to know whether she, or any of the
other victims, grabbed those objects at the last minute, but she had clearly tried to protect herself
from bad fortune.
The people of Pompeii were ordinary people, but they died in an extraordinary way. They were living
their lives as usual when they were interrupted by a force beyond their control. Their reactions may
not have been so different from those of people caught up in recent catastrophes.
Following floods in the UK in 2007, a sociologist, Trevor Miles, studied what possessions people took
with them as they left their homes. Residents had little time to choose what to take with them when
they were evacuated. Afterwards, he says, they would either laugh at or regret their choices. One
woman snatched up her constant companion, a parrot, as fire fighters rescued her. Unfortunately,
she forgot to take the bird’s cage and had to spend hours in the rescue centre holding her pet in her
arms. Others picked up their very expensive televisions, but wished later that they had taken their
favourite family photos.
Another survivor of disaster, from Iran, has learned a vital lesson from his experience of running
away after an earthquake. If he ever needs to run from his home again, Ahmad only has to reach
into his cupboard where his belongings are neatly stored in separate piles. Emergency items such
as a torch to light the way and a first-aid kit to help others are on the left in the cupboard, and his
precious possessions are on the right.

Exercise 5
Read the following article about children who move away from home to live in foreign countries.
Write a summary about the problems that they may face AND about how parents can help their
children.
Living Far From Home
For a variety of reasons, global expatriate populations are growing, and it is likely that more and
more children will experience life in a country other than their own when they are growing up. Even
more significantly, international relationships are becoming more important in our global society.
It is very easy to consider expatriate children lucky. They are exposed to new and exciting
experiences and cultures, and they have a chance to see the world from a broader perspective
than many of us. Also, unlike their parents who are usually busy adjusting to a new job, these
children can simply enjoy their new surroundings. However, while there is no denying that they have
great opportunities, there can also be many disadvantages.
It can be frightening to be put into an unfamiliar situation and fear can be overwhelming. For
example, friends are very important in a child’s life and many struggle to make new friends when
they go to new countries. They go into schools where friendship groups have already been made,
and it is not easy to join these groups. Another problem expatriate children face might be missing
their ‘home’. It is difficult to be separated from their extended family. Parents should allow expatriate
children to find a balance between keeping in touch with loved ones from back home and working
on new social interactions.
Language barriers can also make integrating difficult. Although people in many parts of the world
speak English as a common language, in many places it is expected that if you live in that country,
you must use the language spoken there. In addition, unfamiliar customs can often be confusing for
an expatriate child – a child from Poland who moves to Morocco, for example, might not realise that
it is considered to be polite to take their shoes off when visiting a friend’s house.
In spite of these problems, it is often said that children who have grown up in an expatriate
environment benefit from these experiences. However, children do need some support to help them
to be well-adjusted and happy.
Parents are the key to helping a child to adjust to life in a new environment. They must talk to
their children, and listen to what they are saying about the difficulties and frustrations they are
encountering. Simple acts of communication can go a long way towards helping an expatriate child
who feels lonely. By creating a stable home environment where expatriate children feel understood
and loved, parents give them a better chance of adjusting to their new surroundings with ease.
Parents can also help their children to take part in social activities, because this is important in
helping them to adjust to a new way of life. There may be interesting sports that their children can
do which are not available in their home country. For example, expatriate children who live in hot
climates may be able to do all kinds of outdoor activities which were not possible in their colder
home countries. These are great ways for children to make friends and build confidence.
Although living away from your home country is undoubtedly a challenge, if the situation is well
handled, this opportunity prepares children to become happy and successful global citizens of the
future.

Exercise 1
Read the following article, written by a parent, about taking young children out to eat, and then answer
YOUNG CHILDREN IN RESTAURANTS
Eating out with young children needs careful planning.

Here are my tips for a successful visit to a restaurant with
young children.
Quiet entertainment
It is a good idea to take an activity for young children

to enjoy if the restaurant does not provide anything. I
suggest a colouring book, a toy car or an action figure. I
always take my iPod and headphones as a backup plan.
Make sure you take toys that are quiet, because other
diners will not want to listen to a loud battery-operated
toy while they eat.
Limited options
Too many choices can often lead to young children getting upset. It is best to limit your child’s options for
food and drink. The restaurant might offer fizzy drinks, milk, fruit juices and water, but that might be too
many drinks for your child to pick from. I suggest offering children only milk or water. I also advise that you
limit the choices of food. There are often many choices on a menu; select the two healthiest options and
allow children to pick one of them.
Choose the right restaurant
You could find out which restaurants are child-friendly before choosing one. You can ask friends for advice
or search for information on the internet. It will be miserable for you, and for everyone else, if you try to
take a young child to a formal restaurant only to find yourself trying to comfort a screaming child. It could
also turn out to be an expensive waste of money if you don’t even finish the meal because you have to
leave quickly. Save the expensive restaurants for adult-only occasions, and choose a less formal place with a
relaxed atmosphere for the children.
Childproof the table
There are all kinds of items on a restaurant table that are not suitable for young children. As soon as you get
to your table, make sure you childproof it – or at least the area of the table within your child’s reach. When I
say childproof the table, I mean move the knives, salt pot and breakable objects out of reach.
Before you go
It is a good idea to talk with your child about how to behave at a restaurant before you go there. You could
have a special meal at home; you’ll be able to enjoy it while helping your children learn what is expected of
them at a restaurant.
It is important that children learn how to behave when they are in different situations. Eating out in
restaurants is one of life’s pleasures, and children should be taught how to enjoy the experience.

Exercise 2
Read the following article about choosing which country hosts the Olympic Games, and then answer
Hosting the Olympic Games
On 2 October 2009, the citizens of Rio de Janeiro celebrated winning their bid to host the Summer Olympic
Games in 2016. It was the first city in South America ever chosen to host the Olympics.
The process of deciding where each Olympic

Games takes place is the responsibility of Voting for Host 1st round 2nd round 3rd round
the International Olympic Committee (IOC). City for Summer (number (number (number
Nine years before each Games, the IOC invites 2016 of votes) of votes) of votes)
Olympic committees from any country which
would like to host the Games to submit an Chicago 18 - -
application. The IOC then evaluates these Tokyo 22 20 -
applications and the big choice is made seven
years before the Games are due to take place. Rio de Janeiro 26 46 66
The lucky winner then has time to build facilities,
prepare the opening ceremony and deal with all Madrid 28 29 32
the other tasks that need to be completed in
order to create a successful Olympic Games.
Competition to become the city to host the Olympics is fierce because there is a general belief that the city
and the country will benefit economically from the event. Interestingly, there is very little definite evidence
that this is always the case. Economists say that some cities never get back the money that they spent on
preparing for the Games. Additionally, some cities fall into serious debt. Cities must explain how they will be
able to fund the Games. If a country does not have a stable economy, it may find it difficult to prove its ability
to hold the Games. The IOC itself has nothing to do with paying for the Games. That responsibility falls on
the city’s Organising Committee of the Olympic Games, the host city itself and private financial supporters.
Possible host cities have to measure up against a long list of criteria. Basically, the public authorities of a
city that wants to host the Games must be able to assure the IOC that they have the very best places in
which to hold the Games. This includes showing suitable existing venues and presenting design proposals
for new ones. Potential host cities must also present a range of other plans. If even one of these plans is not
up to standard, then the city will not be considered. Then the IOC conducts an opinion poll, to try to get an
understanding of how excited the population is about possibly hosting the Games. This is important as an
unsupportive population could cause problems at the Games.
Cities are invited to help their chances by promising to increase the participation in, and practice of, sports in
general. For instance, when the Olympic committee for Doha, the capital of Qatar, put in a bid for the 2020
Olympic Games, they said that they would build a centre to help increase women’s participation in sports
across the Middle East.
There is a problem if a city is in an area which has extreme weather. Temperatures in Doha rise above 38
degrees Celsius in summer. Clearly, this could affect the performance of the athletes. To avoid this potential
problem, Doha’s Olympic committee suggested that the 2020 Summer Games could be held in October,
when temperatures in the area are lower.
When the IOC has carefully evaluated everything, the committee chooses one fortunate city to host the
upcoming Olympic Games. Those not chosen, however, are not completely out of luck. They can work further
on their plans in order to bid again. It often takes several applications before a city’s plan meets all of the
IOC’s expectations and gets voted as the winner.
Rio de Janeiro will be showing the world what it can do; certainly Tokyo will be watching as it prepares itself
for the 2020 Olympic Games.

Exercise 3
Ayesha Nahyan is a 17-year-old Emirati girl who lives with her parents. They live in Apartment 58, The
Heights, Al Bateen Street, Abu Dhabi. It is a pleasant apartment, but it was not big enough for the party
that Ayesha organised recently to celebrate her grandmother’s 80th birthday.
Ayesha’s parents are both very busy business people and so Ayesha agreed to take on the responsibility
of arranging the party for her grandmother. She spent a lot of time searching the internet trying to find
a company which organised special events. She was about to give up when a friend told her about a
company called ‘Yellow Balloon’ that specialises in planning parties. Her friend had used this company
and was happy to recommend it.
Ayesha called the manager of ‘Yellow Balloon’ using her phone, number 0536255012, and she
explained that she wanted a very traditional party for her grandmother. The manager suggested holding
the event outdoors at a beautiful venue in the desert. Her grandmother had grown up in the desert and
Ayesha knew that she would enjoy this rather than being indoors. Ayesha was a little worried, however,
because the manager did not have any pictures to show her so it was difficult to imagine what she was
talking about.
On the day of the party, Ayesha arrived to see a huge tent made of traditional woven materials. Her
grandmother and all the guests came soon afterwards and were amazed to see the wonderful scene
that had been created. When she was seated comfortably, some women began to perform a traditional
dance and at the end of it, each dancer offered a sweet to her grandmother. Ayesha was rather
annoyed about that and she had to take them away quickly. Her grandmother is diabetic, and Ayesha
had told the company manager that her grandmother should not be given anything with sugar in it. That
awkward moment soon passed, however, when the steaming plates of rice and meat arrived. Ayesha
was very impressed by the feast, and her grandmother’s eyes lit up with delight. This was the highlight
of her day. She said that the food reminded her of meals that she had eaten as a child. It was wonderful
to see her grandmother appreciating such dishes. Ayesha had never seen her enjoy food so much.
Ayesha was glad to see the attention the waiters gave to everyone, making sure that no-one had an
empty plate. Later on, the children in the group sang a traditional song, and everyone clapped their
hands and joined in.
Ayesha was very impressed by the efficiency of the ‘Yellow Balloon’ staff. They managed to make sure
that they were always available to help without getting in the way of family and friends. Ayesha will
be joining a local university next year to study Travel and Tourism. She is sure that she will remember
this occasion as a good example of hospitality. Ayesha agreed to complete an evaluation form for the
company.
Imagine you are Ayesha. Fill in the form on the opposite page, using the information above.

Exercise 4
Read the following article about special-effects artists, and then complete the notes on the opposite
page.
Special-effects artists
In films, nothing is impossible. Living, breathing dinosaurs can roam the Earth. Humans can rocket to distant
galaxies and battle with alien races. This type of cinematic magic is made possible by the hard work of teams
of special-effects artists. Some of these artists work with computers, while others work in more traditional
ways.
In order to create computer-generated (CG) special effects, artists begin by producing 3D models of
characters and sets on a computer. The models are first created as wireframes that establish the underlying
structure of a character or object. Realistic surfaces, skins and textures are then added. After that, animators
are responsible for the movement of characters. Character animation is a slow, painstaking process that
requires incredible attention to detail and a deep understanding of natural human movement and facial
expressions. Using mathematical algorithms, animators have developed hair that sways in the virtual breeze
and clothing that wrinkles realistically when a character moves.
Traditional modellers are still a crucial part of special-effects teams. They create miniature versions of large
objects, buildings or entire film sets. Modelling is often associated with old special-effects techniques, like
the miniature spaceships that roar by the camera in the original ‘Star Wars’ trilogy.
Pyrotechnic-effects artists are licensed professionals trained in the safety precautions involved in large-scale
explosions, fire, bullet shots and small-scale explosive devices. In addition to their extensive knowledge of
explosives, these artists design firework-like effects that achieve exactly what the director wants.
A special-effects make-up artist is part modeller, part

sculptor, part painter, part chemist and part beautician.
Make-up artists need to learn how to mix different
chemicals to make mouldable materials that are safe
for close contact with skin. This is because they have to
create masks and special-effects make-up for humans to
use. They also have to know how to use more traditional
make-up techniques to blend the real and the artificial.
If you would like to become a special-effects artist, the

best advice is to absorb all the information you can find.
You can search online video-sharing sites for free tutorials.
Then it’s time to start playing. Have fun building your own
models, either from kits or originals. Play with different
moulding and sculpture compounds and learn how to
make your own.
A degree in special effects isn’t absolutely necessary but it may be the best way to get experience and basic
training in all of the special-effects fields. Many universities offer training in 3D-modelling and computer
animation. While studying, you can also watch slow-motion recordings of people and animals to see how
bones and muscles move, as the body subtly shifts weight. It is helpful to study movement by going to ballet
performances and taking trips to the zoo. All of these are great ways to start your career making magic in
the movies. Who knows, one day, one of your creations might end up on the big screen!

Exercise 5
Read the following article about a presentation that was given about the Japanese Kodo ceremony. On
the opposite page, write a summary about the importance of the ceremony in the past.
The Japanese Kodo Ceremony
Hachiya began his presentation by explaining that his family has been in charge of the Kodo school in
Japan since it was founded more than 500 years ago, and he hopes his descendants will continue to
run it for many centuries to come. Kodo is a ceremony which involves burning incense. It has been an
important part of Japanese culture for centuries. It was originally used for religious purposes in Buddhist
temples. However, it is nowhere near as well known as the tea or flower-arranging ceremonies. Indeed,
Hachiya’s school is one of only two in the whole world which provides instruction on how to enjoy this
ancient practice.
After this introduction, Hachiya allowed his audience to take part in a Kodo ceremony. He opened a
small, round, ceramic pot which appeared to contain nothing but greyish-blue sand. Buried within the
pot was a heat source (probably charcoal-based; precise details were kept secret), the temperature
of which was being controlled by the fine grains of sand. His concentration on the task was intense,
and he appeared to forget that he had an audience. Using several delicate tools – a spatula, a feather
and tongs – he formed the sand into the shape of a mountain. With great care, he unwrapped a paper
envelope, from which he removed a tiny slice of agar wood, no larger than a fingernail. This he placed
onto a metal square which he had put on the top of the sand. When he was satisfied that all was in
order, Hachiya ensured that the wood was close enough to the heat source to release its scent, but not
so close as to produce any smoke.
Hachiya was now ready to pass the ceramic pot to the person on his left. He instructed them to take
only three breaths and submit to any memories or emotions that might be evoked. It was interesting to
hear how much people were inspired to say.
Kodo ceremonies grew out of rich people’s love of pleasures. They would pass the time by performing
Kodo ceremonies and making a game of testing each other’s ability to identify the different perfumes
produced by different woods, often trying to trick each other by burning the same woods. People
also enjoyed the ceremony because they thought it helped them to write and read poetry. However,
sometimes the ceremony had a more practical use. “In the past, men and women did not use email
and Facebook to meet,” said Hachiya. “About a thousand years ago, if a man wanted to meet a special
woman, he would write his feelings in a poem and send it to her. Most importantly, he would have
performed the Kodo ceremony and perfumed the letter. The scent needed to be perfect; otherwise she
wouldn’t take any interest. The hope was that she would reply with another poem, and if that was a
success, then the couple would eventually be able to meet.”
Kodo was also very important to the Samurai warriors. These fighters performed the Kodo ceremony
before leaving for battle. This gave them a feeling of dignity.
Hachiya stated that he sees his work as important, saying, “In a modern global culture which favours
speed and instant pleasure, I believe Kodo ceremonies have the ability to teach people about the value
of time. The wood which is used for these ceremonies may be hundreds of years old, but once burnt, its
smell lasts only for a few minutes. And this moment is never going to happen again.”

Exercise 1
Read the guide about a Dark Sky Park in Northumberland in the UK, and then answer the following
questions.
NORTHUMBERLAND
DARK SKY PARK
About the Park
In Northumberland Dark Sky Park, in England,

you can experience a night sky that is truly
amazing. The skies are unpolluted by city lights,
and this is the perfect place to come and spend
time looking at the stars and planets. The park
is the first of its kind in England, and the fourth
largest in the world.
Managing the Park
All the lighting in the visitor centre and along the paths to the viewing platforms has to be monitored
and controlled by staff so that the amount of light produced is kept as low as possible. This ensures
that visitors have a perfect environment in which to view the stars. It is estimated that 85% of the UK
population has never experienced the beauty of a clear night filled with billions of stars. It is not just
stargazers who benefit from the limited lighting. The park is home to many nocturnal species, and
the darker conditions create a suitable natural habitat for bats. There is also plenty for visitors to see
during the day, including deer and a variety of birds.
Visitor Information
Although the park is open all year round, the best time for stargazing is during the autumn and
winter months because daylight hours are the shortest. Many visitors prefer to bring binoculars, as
although they don’t provide such good views of the planets, they are easier to use and are also less
expensive than a telescope. But if you do decide on a telescope, keep it simple and portable. You
could easily spend over £2000 on the most up-to-date models, which are able to track objects in
the sky automatically, without having to adjust the telescope manually. However, you don’t need to
spend this amount – a basic telescope will still give you good views of the night sky.
Visitors often spend many hours looking at the stars. At first, it can be difficult to see clearly in such a
dark environment. For the majority of people, twenty minutes is enough time for their eyes to adjust
to low light levels, although some find it can take up to forty minutes. You can bring a normal torch to
help you find your way, but the white light that it produces does affect your ability to see in the dark.
However, red light doesn’t create this problem so, for best results, we recommend that you put a red
cover over a normal torch. If you prefer, we sell suitable torches with a red light in the visitor centre,
or alternatively, you can bring a red bike light if it’s not too bright.

Exercise 2
Read the article about sleep, and then answer the following questions.
A good night’s sleep

Most of us spend a third of our lives sleeping, although some people say they need as little as
four hours sleep a night. There are various factors which affect sleep – just ask nurses or factory
employees who sometimes work night shifts how difficult they find it to change their sleep routines.
We know that sleep is essential for brain growth, and also for maintaining memory skills. Although
it has been said that the function of sleep is to give the body a chance to rest and recover, this is
not entirely true. In reality, the amount of energy gained by sleeping is tiny – about the same as the
energy we get from eating a piece of toast.
One way to understand the role of sleep is to look at what happens if you have too little. Some
research has shown that sleep-deprived adults are less productive at work. If you have ever stayed
up all night, you may have noticed some negative after-effects the next day, such as finding it hard to
remember simple things at school. After just one night without sleep, you may struggle to concentrate
in class.
Many people find their sleep is disturbed as a result of not having enough relaxing ‘wind-down’ time
before going to bed. It is recommended that people should not look at screens for an hour before
sleep. If we don’t switch off our devices, our brains can’t switch off either.
It has also been suggested that long-term sleep loss may increase the risk of obesity. Your body
produces important chemicals while you sleep, which are vital for controlling how hungry you feel
the next day. If your body doesn’t produce sufficient levels of these chemicals, over time this may
mean you put on weight.
According to Professor Joanna Kelly of the National Sleep Centre, the time spent sleeping each day
declines during our lives. Newborn babies have 16 hours’ sleep daily, which decreases to 12 hours
by the time young children reach the age of two. This gradual decrease in sleep continues through
childhood, with teenagers typically needing about 9 hours to function at their best. Although the
research findings indicate this is the ideal situation, from her experience as the mother of teenage
daughters, Joanna knows all too well that this does not always happen. Adults need about 8 hours’
sleep, although as we get older, the quality of our sleep can suffer because we wake up frequently
during the night.
Average daily animal sleep time
Just like humans, age also affects the sleep of 30
animals. Another consideration is their position in 25
the food chain – lower down the food chain, animals
like deer must remain alert to possible predators, average
20
while those animals near the top tend to get more daily 15
sleep, because they have little to fear. Captivity can sleep time
10
(in hours)
also have a role – animals often sleep more in zoos,
5
as they are safe from predators.
0
brown bat squirrel python cat tiger
There are no definite rules about the ideal amount of animal
sleep humans require. Professor Kelly sums up by
saying: “The amount we need is the level that allows us to stay alert. My work with families suggests
that some might benefit from changing their lifestyles.” Our lives today are busy, and although regular
sporting activities after work or college are great at providing exercise, this can also mean that we
eat large meals late in the evening. This can cause digestion problems, which affect sleep, so a light
snack is often preferable if you want a good night’s sleep.

Exercise 3
Ryan Taylor is an Australian teenager. He enjoys taking part in a range of outdoor activities, and is
hoping to develop a career in this area. In order to find out what this might be like, he has decided to
go on an activity holiday, run by an organisation called Action Adventure. Their main office is at 110
Abermarle Street, Perth. They run five-day and seven-day holidays, and Ryan has chosen the shorter
one.
Ryan was born on 13 March 2001 and lives at 265 High Grove Road, Perth, with his parents, David
and Jessica Taylor, and his younger sister, Amelia. His personal email address is rwalk@neus.net.au
but he is giving Action Adventure his family email address, walkers@aust.net.au as a point of contact,
because his parents also need to receive information about the holiday. It might be difficult to get in
touch with Ryan’s father as he’s travelling abroad when Ryan is hoping to have his holiday, but his
mother will be at home in case of emergencies. She is not expecting any problems as, although Ryan
is allergic to eggs, he is generally very fit and healthy and knows which foods to avoid.
Ryan’s mother would be happy to take him by car for the start of his holiday on 8 April, but she is having
a small operation on her back on 29 March and is worried she won’t be able to drive. There is, however,
a good train service which will take him close to the activity centre, and from there the centre provides
a minibus service twice a day. Because he is travelling by train, he is bringing a minimum amount
of luggage with him – just clothes and personal wash items, rather than bedding. He is interested in
anything the centre can provide that will help reduce the amount he has to carry.
There is a choice of activities available on-site, including football and river swimming, and participants
are encouraged to sign up for a main activity. Ryan loves rock climbing, and there are some fairly
tough climbs located near the centre. He has read about these in a magazine, and has decided that
this is the activity he is most keen to try. He lives near the sea, so he spends a lot of time in and around
water. Because of this, he is not as interested in things like sailing or kayaking as he would prefer to try
something different on his holiday. He is interested in learning more about the geology of the area, and
there are some caves nearby which he would like to explore. On a holiday last year, the whole family
went horse riding, and while the other members of his family really enjoyed it, it wasn’t such a success
for Ryan.
Ryan has made some enquiries with Action Adventure, and they have sent him the registration form for
his holiday.
Imagine you are Ryan. Complete the form, using the information above.

Exercise 4
Read the article about the way amateur archaeologists use satellite technology, and then complete the
notes on the following page.
Satellite imagery
Nowadays, satellite technology is used to provide information on
everything from population growth to forecasting the weather and
making maps. This last example is particularly useful to those
people with an interest in archaeology. In 2014, an amateur
archaeologist called David Young was looking at an area of local
countryside on a satellite map, when he noticed a single tree
right in the middle of a field. David explains, “In the past, when
farmers hit something large and hard while working in their fields, they often planted a small tree. This
was easier than digging the object up, and reminded them to avoid this spot in future.” When David
investigated the area around the single tree, he found some buried coins in a large pot. In another
image, he noticed a narrow strip of land where the grass was not growing well. This indicated that
there was once an ancient roadway which had been buried over time. When he went to this location,
he discovered some ancient cooking tools left behind by travellers who had probably stopped to eat.
David has some advice for other amateur archaeologists: “Unusual patterns in fields today can
sometimes suggest evidence of an ancient community. However, as many of these fields will be
on private farmland, remember to ask permission from the farmer before you start exploring a site.”
Landowners have reported that animals have escaped from their fields because gates have been
left open. Additionally, some farmers have complained that crops have been damaged by people
digging up an area that they think may contain something exciting.
Although amateur archaeologists don’t generally use the more sophisticated technology and
equipment that professionals have, the satellite images that are freely available online have made
archaeology more accessible to everyone, with many advantages. For example, in just one year,
amateur archaeologists identified the locations of hundreds of potentially interesting sites. This is
important because as cities all over the world continue to expand, new building work can permanently
cover places of historical importance. Amateur archaeologists are often able to provide details of
the specific size of an area of interest, then professionals can decide whether or not to investigate
further.
As well as being helpful in finding potential sites of worldwide importance, amateurs also have local
knowledge which can be a valuable source of information for the professionals. They often look
at images of places closer to their homes, and find things that might otherwise go unnoticed. For
example, even strangely shaped areas of forest can be worth further professional investigation.
Once a possible site has been identified, it is important that amateurs inform the professional
archaeologists, who understand the importance of recording exactly where items are found. This
information can be lost if the correct procedures are not followed when the object is removed from the
ground. Also, some people keep what they find for themselves, rather than sharing their discovery.
“If you find something of interest, contact the experts. If you want to be more involved, join a local
archaeology group. It will probably have links to professional archaeologists,” says David. Indeed,
many professionals rely on amateurs for a variety of things, from the discovery of possible sites to
assisting at the site itself. It is a relationship that can work well for both groups.

Exercise 5
Read the following article on learning to write computer programmes, or ‘coding’. Write a summary
about the advantages of learning to code, AND the disadvantages of the different ways people
learn how to code.
Coding
The world of education has certainly been transformed by technology. Students learn how to use it,
but they only occasionally learn how it works. Now the realisation that there is a gap between using
technology and understanding it is prompting a new approach – that of teaching young people how
to write computer programmes, or to ‘code’.
Those people who can code are likely to find a wide range of professional job opportunities open
to them, today and in the future. Many employers in the social network industries are looking
for new recruits with coding skills, but it is not only technology companies which are looking for
those who can code. Nowadays, all industries rely heavily on their software programmes. This
makes someone who can design specific in-house software packages very appealing to potential
employers. Although traditional printed books cannot keep up to date with online learning
materials, sales of coding books have dramatically increased. There are some excellent books
available, and many people prefer to have a physical resource to refer back to. More and more
people are taking the opportunity to gain a qualification in coding to improve their career prospects.
Coding teaches you how to think clearly and logically, which are skills that can be transferred
into many areas of employment, not just technology. Comparisons have been made between the
attention to detail needed when learning to code and the precise ways of working in, for example,
architecture or law. This knowledge should encourage students to try out one of the coding clubs
that are proving increasingly popular in colleges around the world. Tomas Stiller runs one of these
clubs. He explains that it is a good way to learn, even though some people find it difficult to have
enough time to attend regularly. In a few short weeks, you will be able to build useful applications
and websites. Having a face-to-face tutor means students can ask questions and interact, although
attending a club can be too expensive for some.
If you really can’t devote the time to attend a club, there are other ways to learn. An obvious choice
is an online training package. There are many free sites available, for example codecollege.com.
This will introduce you to the basics of coding while you have fun creating simple games. You’ll have
all the resources you need to get started, but these free sites only offer an introduction to coding.
There are a huge number of sites out there, but as anyone can post information, you cannot always
be certain that the information online is reliable. Although this can be frustrating when you are trying
to find specific details, the mountain of coding information is an indication of the huge number of
people out there with a shared interest in learning how to code.

Exercise 1
Read the leaflet about how different countries celebrate spring, and then answer the following
questions.
Spring traditions around the world
The beginning of spring is a time for celebration in many countries.

Here are some ways that people in different parts of the world
welcome spring.
Iran
In Iran, the festival of Nowruz begins shortly before the start of

spring in March. The name Nowruz means ‘new day’, and this is a
New Year celebration. Before the festival, people get their homes ready by cleaning and repainting
rooms. Not only does the house need to be well-presented, everyone also has to make sure that
they dress in new clothes. During the festival, people visit relatives and eat traditional meals such
as sabzi polo mahi, a special dish of rice and freshly fried fish. They also have a family picnic
outside, which is the highlight of the festival and marks the end of the celebrations. Although
younger members of the family enjoy various sweet treats, they are particularly keen on the gifts
of money that they receive. It is believed that everyone must behave well during Nowruz to ensure
that the following year is a happy and successful one.
Russia
Throughout Russia, the festival of Maslenitsa is celebrated in towns and villages. On the first
day of the festival, people make a figure out of straw, known as the Lady of Maslenitsa, which
represents the passing of winter and the return of the light. This figure is carried from place to
place and people sing songs as it passes by. During this celebration, people also like to cook
pancakes that are said to symbolise the arrival of the warm sun. The festival ends on a Sunday
when the straw figure of the Lady of Maslenitsa, as well as any uneaten pancakes, are thrown
onto fires. When the fires have burned away, the ashes are spread on the fields to encourage
the growth of new crops. This is a time when people have fun wearing masks and dress up in
unusual, bright clothes.
Japan
In Japan, the ancient festival of Hanami, which means ‘looking at cherry blossom’, starts in late
January in the tropical islands in the south, and stretches into May in the far north. Nowadays,
the arrival of the cherry blossom is eagerly awaited, and 24-hour news reports provide updates
on exactly where and when the flowers will appear. This festival is of great national importance
and the older generation believes that it brings hope for a new start. Traditionally, people meet
together under the blossom to listen to music and enjoy food. Japanese students are especially
excited at this time because the festival marks the end of the school year. If you feel hungry during
Hanami, you can buy a cherry blossom burger or a pink bun.

Exercise 2
Read the article about plastic toys which have been found on beaches in the UK, and then answer the
following questions.
LOST AND FOUND
Cornwall is an area in the south-west of the UK, and it is famous for its beautiful beaches. Many
people travel to Cornwall to enjoy a day at the seaside, but for people like Sarah Carter, there is
so much more to the coast than just surf and sand.
Sarah is a beachcomber, which means she spends every spare moment walking along her local
beaches with her eyes down, hoping to find an item for her collection. Unlike most beachcombers,
however, Sarah is not interested in the shells or fossils found on the beaches. For the last ten
years, she has been looking for plastic objects which are usually found in a child’s toy box. Sarah
explores the beaches looking for pieces of the plastic toy Playgo.
Many things found on a beach tell a story, and the lost Playgo pieces are no exception. Twenty
years ago, the Singapore Rose was on its way to Canada when the container ship hit an extremely
rough wave and turned on its side. The captain of the ship, Dirk Bartrum, feared that the ship
would sink, but instead, 57 of the ship’s huge containers fell overboard into the sea. One of these
containers was filled with nearly 6 million pieces of Playgo.
Not long afterwards, some of these pieces started to appear on beaches in Cornwall. Tourists
quickly joined the hunt for the brightly coloured toys. However, it was local schoolchildren who
initially discovered them, including life jackets, divers and pirates. The fact that many of the objects
had a sea theme was what initially caught Sarah’s attention. As time has passed, and more of the
pieces wash onto the beaches, it is the rare octopuses, rather than the fishing nets and scuba
equipment, that Playgo collectors search for. Many people might think that the pieces are more
likely to appear on the beaches after a high tide. However, after a bad storm is when they wash up
in greater quantities.
In recent years, collecting these Playgo toys has become very competitive, and because the
pieces continue to appear, Sarah has set up a website which allows other collectors to add details
of the type of Playgo they have found.
The Playgo pieces are attracting the Lost Playgo pieces found in Cornwall
interest not only of beachcombers, but also Life jackets 26 600
of scientists. Steve Newton is a marine
scientist who has been following the Playgo Diver flippers 418 000
story from the beginning. He cannot explain Octopuses 4200
why the pieces of Playgo were only found on Scuba equipment 97 500
beaches in the UK until recently. Although Ship sails 26 600
most pieces are still found in Cornwall,
Sarah has started to receive reports of Dragons 33 941
discoveries in Ireland, the Netherlands, and
as far away as Australia. Steve points out that Sarah’s website is a valuable resource for recording
the location of Playgo discoveries: “If these pieces do all come from the same lost container, these
reports are teaching us a great deal about ocean currents.”
Not everyone is fascinated by the discoveries, however. Plastic takes centuries to degrade, which
is why the Playgo pieces still look nearly as good as new. The fact that plastic in the ocean is a
threat to marine wildlife is also a great worry to beach lovers and environmentalists alike. Sarah is
very sensitive to this important environmental issue, and is pleased that her website is helping to
raise awareness about it. Recently, a local group organised a 30-minute beach-cleaning session,
in which 41 volunteers collected 96 sacks full of rubbish. The contents were sorted afterwards,
and 53 out of a total of 8763 pieces of plastic were found to be pieces of Playgo.

Exercise 3
Dominic Briggs attends Key International School in London. He has one more year before he finishes,
and then he hopes to study Film and Journalism at London University. He has lived in different
countries, including the United Arab Emirates and Tunisia, and he learnt Arabic and French when he
was young. His mother and father, Georgina and Harry Briggs, are both teachers and they love to
experience life in different countries, but Dominic has not always found it easy to adapt to so many
changes. Now that Dominic is 17, the family have returned to England and live at 28 Ravenslea Road,
Balham, SE12 9RG, which is just outside central London.
Recently, Dominic got home from school feeling tired so he decided that he would relax and look
at cinema websites on the internet. He has always enjoyed watching films from other countries
and particularly likes foreign documentaries. While browsing, he noticed that a travel company was
advertising a competition with questions about foreign films. When he saw that the competition prize
was a family holiday for four in Europe, he decided to enter.
Some weeks later, he was amazed to receive an email to his personal address dombr@gmail.com
informing him that he had won, and with a holiday request form attached. His first reaction was
one of excitement at the thought of the chance to visit the film studios in Spain, where many of his
favourite films were produced. However, he was a little worried about telling his parents as he had
not even mentioned the competition to them, although he had had to provide their email address
– gandh@briggs.mail – previously. Fortunately, his parents were so excited about the news that they
congratulated him and said that they could not believe their luck. They had not planned a holiday
yet, but the idea of going to Europe, preferably to a warm and sunny country, was very appealing.
Dominic was keen to travel by train, but his parents explained that it would mean travelling overnight
and would be too time-consuming, so they agreed that it would be better to fly and have more time at
the destination.
Dominic explained that the travel company offers tailor-made holidays. This means that they organise
personalised holidays for small groups. The family had a long discussion about where to go. His
parents wondered whether there would be a problem because they can only go away during the school
holidays. In addition, Dominic’s sister, Rebecca Briggs, who is 10 years old, wanted to make sure that
vegetarian food would be available. She also hoped that they could go somewhere near the sea as
she loves swimming. Dominic knows that his father would love to go hiking in the south of France but
his mother would prefer Italy because of the many art galleries. The family could not stop talking about
the prize and were eager to find out what sort of holiday the company would create for them. Dominic’s
parents said that he should complete the holiday form as he had won the competition.
Imagine you are Dominic. Fill in the form using the information above.

Exercise 4
Read the article about lions, and then complete the notes on the following page.
Lion populations
Lions are famous both for their beauty and their strength. Most children learn to identify lions very
early from the many pictures and stories in children’s books. There is no shortage of lions in films
either, and young children especially are fond of characters based on lions.
Lions can weigh between 100 and 250 kilograms, depending on their age, and can live for as
long as 14 years in the wild. They become fully grown after five or six years. Male lions are
distinguishable by their impressive manes. This is the thick hair which grows around their face and
neck.
Lions are the only social members of the cat family. They live in large groups called prides,
consisting of about 15 lions. Related females and their young make up the majority of the pride.
Lions within a pride are often affectionate towards each other.
There are about 20 000 lions left in the wild – down from more than 200 000 a century ago. The
conservation charity, Lion Guardians, which trains and supports teams of local people to monitor
lion populations, states that it is hard to get reliable data. One of the main explanations for the
decline in lion numbers is the loss of their natural environment caused by a rise in the human
population in many parts of Africa. This means that people need more land, either for building
homes or for growing food. The lions therefore lose the areas of land where they have always
lived and often approach villages. They are then vulnerable to catching diseases from the village
animals. Another reason for the reduction in the lion population is the shortage of food sources
in the wild, such as antelope and gazelle, because people are increasingly relying on the same
animals for their food.
In Botswana, Namibia, South Africa and Zimbabwe, where most lions live in reserves that have
fences around them, lion populations have been growing. The work done in reserves is most
effective when it is combined with more traditional conservation efforts. Outside the fenced
reserves, this includes helping communities to tolerate living with lions because they currently
see the lions as a threat and may sometimes harm them. Some conservation researchers also fit
modern satellite tracking collars on lions in order to study them. These collars are attached to the
lions’ necks and enable researchers to study lion movements in great detail in areas where it is
usually impossible to follow them. The location data is used to guide the work of Lion Guardians.
Occasionally, it is possible to capture lions from one area where there is not enough food for
them to survive, and relocate them to a protected reserve. However, this can prove to be very
challenging for conservationists, as lions are constantly on the move.
Not only is it encouraging to learn that conservation projects are working to save lions, but also
that some lion populations are increasing as a result.

Exercise 5
Read the article about a person who survived a shipwreck. Write a summary about what he did to
survive.
Your summary should be about 100 words long (and no more than 120 words long).
You should use your own words as far as possible.
Shipwreck survivor
A Chinese man, Poon Lim, is famous for being the longest shipwreck survivor. He spent 133 days
in the sea when his ship went down in the South Atlantic after leaving Cape Town. It took just two
minutes for the ship to sink, and the only man who managed to survive was Poon Lim.
Despite the mad chaos of the sinking, exploding ship, Lim was still able to grab a life jacket, which
was vital, as he had never learnt to swim well. He floated in the ocean for what he estimated to
be around two hours until he spotted one of the ship’s life rafts. It was a wooden raft about two
and a half metres square, partially covered by a canvas roof. After much effort, Lim succeeded
in reaching it and although weak, managed to pull himself aboard. Luckily for Lim, on the life raft
there were some bottles of juice and tins of biscuits, together with two flares, a flashlight and even
some chocolate.
Once Lim realised that his emergency provisions were running out, he knew that he had to invent
ways to find food and water. He used the canvas from the roof and his life jacket to make a
container to catch rain water. He had never been fishing and had no skills to help him, but he
improvised by making a fishing hook out of the wire from the flashlight and the jagged edges of
the biscuit tins.
By day 60, he was aware that he was losing physical strength so he began to swim around the life
raft twice a day. This routine continued until a particularly bad storm nearly destroyed his life raft.
Against all the odds, he survived and was able to repair the damage. However, this experience left
him feeling even more terrified about his situation.
Lim had never seen such a variety of beautiful sea creatures and spent many hours observing
the fish that swam around him. However, he was alarmed by the threatening sharks that at times
surrounded his life raft, and occasionally attacked him.
Lim survived for almost five months. On two occasions he spotted a ship, and once a plane
passed by near him, but each time his shouts and frantic waving went unnoticed. The nightmare
only came to an end when he was picked up by Brazilian fishermen on April 5, 1943, about ten
miles from land. They sailed to Belem, Brazil, a town at the mouth of the Amazon River.
Upon arriving in Belem, suffering from severe sunburn, he spent four weeks at the local hospital
to recover and regain his physical fitness. He explained to people that he had worked hard not to
lose a sense of hope that he would finally be rescued. Lim went on to live to the age of 72, and
even now, 133 days remains the longest time for one person to survive being lost at sea in a life
raft. When he was told about his record, Lim said: “I hope no one will ever have to break it.”

Exercise 1
Read the leaflet about a fun race for families, and then answer the following questions.
Family Fun Run

Practical information
The Arrow Bay Family Fun Run is taking place on 1 July. Online registration starts from 3 April, and
entry forms cannot be accepted after 15 May. It’s important to apply early – last year’s race was
over-subscribed, so some people were disappointed not to get a place. The 2.4-kilometre route
loops twice around the town centre, through the park and past local monuments. This year, the entry
fee for the event is US$8 per person, or US$26 for a family of 4 and there is also a special price of
US$6 per person for groups of 10 or more. All runners will be sent an information pack one month
before the event.
Who can enter
It’s great for all ages. There’s no minimum age for entry, but children under 11 need to have an adult
running with them. Those aged 11 to 14 must be accompanied by an adult to the start and met at
the Fun Run exit. All runners will be given a race number, and they need to make sure that this is
securely attached to their clothes and can be clearly seen by the race officials. If this number isn’t
visible when runners cross the finish line, they will take home the memory of an amazing experience,
but not an official race time!
A photographer will also be taking photos, so runners should check the website later to find a picture
of themselves as they cross the finish line! On completion of the race, each runner will be given a
medal, and special T-shirts will be on sale as a souvenir of the event. However, for many families
and friends, the main idea is simply to enjoy the experience, and there is no pressure to record a fast
time or even run all the way round.
On the day
On arrival, there will be volunteers on hand to direct runners to the warm-up area. Even if it’s cloudy
at the start, all those taking part should bring a hat because it might get hot later. Water is provided
by the volunteers along the route to keep everyone cool and hydrated. The organisers recommend
leaving valuables at home due to limited storage facilities.
Sponsorship
Every year, thousands of runners raise money for charity, and more than US$500 000 has been
donated to over 400 different charities over the years. This year, the event committee is aiming for
a total of US$20 000 for their chosen charity MilesofSmiles, which supports local youth projects.
For more information about getting sponsored for this year’s charity, email Katherine Jones at
events@milesofsmiles.com, or contact Steve Heston on steve@funrun.com for payment of current
entry fees and the dates of future events.

Exercise 2
Read the article about sailing around the world, and then answer the following questions.
Round the world adventure

When David and Patricia Jones sailed off in a boat from the United Kingdom,
they were intending to take their boat on a short trip for a couple of weeks.
They wanted to sail to northern Spain. Amazingly, fourteen years later, they
have just returned, after an adventure which took them 94 000 kilometres.
During their journey, they visited 56 countries, swam with dolphins, and even
survived running out of water for 20 days, by filtering seawater.
They bought a second-hand boat, which needed US$10 000 spent on repairs, in addition to the
US$25 000 purchase price. When the work on the boat was finished, they were ready to begin their
first journey. The couple were both skilled sailors, and they thought that a short trip would allow them
to see what living in a small space was like before attempting a longer ocean crossing in the future.
They also wanted an idea of how much food and drink they would need to take to last the journey.
Sailing to Spain, however, was so successful that they decided to continue to the USA, stopping in
New York for a two-day shopping trip. They didn’t really feel like normal holidaymakers, because
they spent their time buying safety equipment and medicine for the next stage of their journey.
Surprisingly, Patricia’s happiest memory of the city was when she saw a dentist, as she had
complained of painful toothache on the boat for days! After the USA, they sailed via the Panama
Canal and the Pacific Ocean towards Australia, before returning home.
Although using wind power most of the time meant there were fewer stops for refuelling, they still
needed money to keep the boat running safely. On one occasion, the side of the boat was damaged
when they hit an object floating in the sea. Because of these costs, in the middle of their trip, they
decided they would have to use all their savings. Even with that money, they still preferred trading
some of their possessions for the supplies they needed. On one island that they visited near Fiji,
they handed over some tools that they were carrying in return for fresh fruit and vegetables. Patricia
explains, “One of the villagers saw a rope we had with us. We had wanted to use it to climb the
mountain there, but the weather wasn’t good enough. In fact, the villagers needed the rope to repair
a roof in the village that had been damaged by a recent storm. So we exchanged it for enough food
for a month!”
David and Patricia’s average monthly sailing distances During their trip, they had some
incredible experiences – swimming

with seals, and watching smoke
from a distant volcano. They met
4800 a giant whale – even bigger than
4600 their 11-metre boat. Some people
4400 might have been frightened, but
David described the encounter as
4200
magical. However, meeting other
4000 travellers was the highlight of their
3800 journey. They also found it useful to
December January February March April May June talk to locals and get ideas for new
destinations.
The adventure taught them to rely on themselves, and they were generally quite lucky. While at
sea, David fell and twisted his ankle, but otherwise they survived without injury. Their biggest scare
was when they thought they were being chased by another boat. Fortunately this turned out to be a
fishing-boat. One of the crew had cut his leg, and needed first aid. Patricia volunteered to help, and
David watched anxiously as she put on her safety equipment and crossed over to the other boat. “I
was so relieved when she came back safely,” he said.
The couple are already planning another adventure, this time travelling through European canals.

Exercise 3
In his hometown of Barton, New Zealand, high-school student Travis Finley bought a new laptop
on 5 January, 2018 as his old one was beginning to run very slowly. Also, he was having problems
completing his schoolwork because the battery wasn’t lasting as long as it should have. This meant
that it was sometimes difficult to use when he wasn’t at home at 56 Hills Avenue, Barton. He knew that
a new laptop would be expensive, as the typical cost of the type that he wanted was around US$940.
He researched the different options from a number of stores in town, including popular electronics
stores like Officeworld and Compu-Planet. He also looked online, but he decided in the end that he
wanted to talk to an expert about what to buy. He found good deals on offer from an independent shop
called Easy IT Solutions, and when he visited the shop in Dawson City, he found the salesperson was
very helpful. He initially decided to buy an Aria ZK2954 laptop for US$970, but then he was persuaded
that if he spent more, he could buy something that would last longer. The FD4876 by Jansson was the
recommendation he accepted, and he bought the laptop that day.
At first he was pleased with the machine, as it was much quicker than his old one and the battery
was more reliable. However, after a month he noticed that after he had switched it on, although the
programs loaded without problems, he found the picture quality disappointing. He realised that the
problem was getting worse, and additionally, he found getting online was taking a very long time.
Last week he emailed the manager of the shop, Robin Turner – robin@EITS.bis.com – and Robin
asked Travis to bring the laptop back to the shop on 2 February. Robin told him that because the
machine was less than a year old, Travis could return it to the manufacturer. Robin asked him to
complete a form giving personal details such as his email – travisfin@nz.ac – and information about
the problem. Unfortunately, Travis had lost his receipt which showed the purchase date and the cost
of US$1250, but the shop checked their records and gave him a letter to send off with the laptop
explaining the situation. Travis is going to complete the computer repair sheet and send it to the
manufacturer together with the letter and the laptop.
Because Travis is currently studying, he needs to be able to use a computer as soon as possible, as
he can’t do his work without it. For this reason, he needs to make sure that the manufacturer tells him
how long the repairs to his laptop are likely to take, or if he needs to get a replacement. He wants the
laptop manufacturer to email him about this so that he can decide what to do next.
Imagine you are Travis. Fill in the form, using the information above.

Exercise 4
Read the article about how students can use technology to learn about the environment, and then
complete the following notes.
Technology and Environmental science

Environmental science includes subjects such as chemistry, geography and biology in the study
of the environment. It is an important part of many education programmes, and developments in
technology have greatly benefited the way the subject is taught and learnt.
One particularly successful use of technology is with special apps on smartphones. These
use scientific facts to show students predictions about the future. For example, students might
be studying the ecology of a nearby lake, and possible environmental damage. The app uses
information collected by the student to explain how different pollution levels will affect that
particular lake. Of course, many people agree that doing experiments outside the classroom is
a great learning opportunity. However, not everyone is convinced that it is necessary to use the
latest technology to do so, and some teachers worry that too much time is spent on electronic
devices during science lessons. Most schools try to take a balanced approach, and limit how
often electronic devices are used.
When students use the internet in their science lessons, they also benefit from being able to
access the latest information about international environmental research that is relevant to their
studies. However, not all students own smartphones, or have access to tablets at school. To
address this issue, some mobile phone companies are offering schools special deals. They
give free phones to schools for the students to use, with cheaper internet connection which the
schools can afford more easily.
We all know how important it is to protect the environment, but the results of the damage that
is caused by pollution often take time to appear. To help students see the long-term effects of
different solutions to the problem, a virtual reality computer game called TimeSpeed has been
created. It is set in a beautiful ocean, and students wear special glasses, which make the game
look so real that people feel as if they are actually in the water. The game begins with a sea
filled with creatures, then as pollution levels rise, the sea-life starts to vanish. Although some
people have commented that educational games like TimeSpeed do not include enough detailed
information for students, teachers have been pleased by how well students have responded to its
message. Developers have released a new improved version of the game, which is even more
relevant to study programmes.
Most students today learn through working together and sharing information. As well as work in
the classroom, the same approach can now extend to the wider world. It is easier than ever to
compare results of scientific investigations with students in other countries.
Teachers of other subjects are also exploring interesting ways of using technology to improve
their students’ learning experience.

Giant sequoias
Giant sequoias are very special trees. They are found growing at heights of
1400–2150 metres above sea-level, and can reach 3000 years old. The largest
trees live in North America, in a popular national park in California’s Sierra Nevada
mountain range. The first widely known discovery of a giant sequoia was in 1852, a
massive specimen around 1240 years old. This great age explains its size. People
used to think that tree growth slowed down with age, but it has been found that
sequoia trees produce wood at a faster rate around their trunks and branches as
they grow older, making them even stronger.
In the early twentieth century, people started cutting down giant sequoias to sell the
wood, destroying trees that had grown for many years. Fortunately, this practice
was stopped as the trees would often fall apart when they hit the ground because
of their great weight. The fact that the wood had little value meant that it could not
be used for commercial purposes, which protected the trees from large-scale destruction.
Giant sequoias become so tall because they grow in height quickly and live a very long time. These
trees are too massive to be blown over in storms and winds. To do well, giant sequoias require lots
of water, which until recently they have received from snow that falls in the Sierra Nevada mountains
over the winter months. When the water from melting snow is absorbed into the ground, this has
provided a steady supply of water throughout the drier months. These conditions have historically
created an ideal growing environment for sequoias. Over the last few years, scientists have noticed
that climate change has led to a reduction in the amount of snow falling. This means that there is
less snow in the mountains to melt and provide the regular water supply that the trees need. Visitors
can also cause great harm by walking around the base of giant sequoias. This presses down the soil
around their roots and prevents the trees from getting enough water.
In times of hot dry weather, forest fires can be a common occurrence, but the giant sequoias are
fortunate in that their thick outer surface is resistant to fire. In fact, even when a fully-grown tree is
hit by lightning, it might be damaged but it is not usually killed. Despite the dangers, fire is actually
an important factor in the life cycle of the giant sequoia forest. To grow successfully, young sequoia
trees need sunlight, and an area free of competition from other plants. Over the centuries, small
forest fires have helped to clear the ground of other species of plants and have created the space
that sequoias need in order to become established. However, in many areas of the park, there are
fire prevention regulations in place, which means that these smaller fires are less frequent, and this
reduces the chances of new sequoia plants growing.
The increase in temperature linked to climate change can create another possible danger. Insects,
which have increased in numbers in the warmer temperatures, have killed other species of trees
in the forest, such as spruce and pine. In normal conditions, trunks of giant sequoia trees contain
special chemicals to protect them from most insects, but scientists are becoming increasingly worried
that insects might also attack the sequoias. For this reason, these trees are monitored closely for
signs of disease.
Giant sequoias are a popular tourist attraction, and many people have enjoyed spending time among
these majestic trees.

Read the information sheet about foods that are very good for you, and then answer the following
questions.
Superfoods
There are some types of foods, called superfoods, which are particularly good for us. Ones we
have known about for a long time include avocados, blueberries and seaweed. But here are four
more that you might not have heard of.
First, daikon is a root vegetable that is popular in Japanese and Chinese cookery. People also refer
to it as moola, and it is a type of radish. Not only does it have a peppery, fresh taste; it contains
incredibly high levels of vitamin C, making it particularly healthy.
Another vegetable superfood is the bitter gourd, or bitter melon. Although its appearance isn’t
pretty – it resembles an ugly cucumber – it is believed to reduce cholesterol and lower blood sugar
levels, so is great news for diabetics.
Two fantastic fruits are gubinge and lucuma. The first is a small green fruit from Australia. The other
grows in valleys in Peru, and contains several minerals and vitamins.
Even greater benefit

Until recently, most scientists have concentrated on studying the effects of individual foods on our
health. But in the last few years, what is known as food synergy has become popular. This is the
idea that eating certain foods in pairs can make them even healthier for us than if they are eaten
alone. Researcher David Jacobs came up with the name, and dietician Elaine Magee has written a
book on the topic. She explains: “It is like adding one plus one and getting four instead of two: the
total is greater than the sum of the individual parts.”
One pair of foods that works well together is salmon and yogurt. The vitamin D from the oily fish
helps the body to take in a greater quantity of calcium from the yogurt – and that is good news for
your bones.
We all know that vegetables are good for us, but pairing them with certain other foods seems to
make them significantly better for us than they would be alone. One such combination is broccoli
and tomatoes, which was discovered by scientists at the University of Illinois; another is cauliflower
and chicken, which was the focus of a study at The Institute of Food Research. They found that
selenium, which is an essential mineral contained in chicken, and sulforaphane, a plant chemical
found in cauliflower, work together to provide the winning combination.
So, next time you’re wondering what to eat for dinner, maybe this will give you some ideas!

Exercise 2
Read the article about the Global Teacher Prize, and then answer the following questions.
The Global Teacher Prize

The Global Teacher Prize is a US$1 million award presented annually to an exceptional teacher
who has made an outstanding contribution to their profession.
A few years ago, an educational charity called the Varkey Foundation was concerned that many
problems around the world are caused by lack of education. They decided to ask Populus, a leading
research company, to find out more, by comparing education in countries around the world. One
section was on how teaching compares with other professions. Their investigation also covered many
other key topics, such as are children encouraged to become teachers. The results of this survey,
published in 2013, shocked the chairman of the Varkey Foundation, whose parents had both been
teachers. Therefore, in the same year, he decided to establish the Global Teacher Prize, with the
overall intention of raising the profile of the teaching profession. The first prize was awarded in 2015.
The process of choosing a winner is a lengthy one. People can name a teacher they know, or
a teacher can apply themselves. In the first year, teachers from 127 different countries were
nominated, and over 5000 applications were received. After the closing date, a team of judges
carefully select 10 finalists, who gather in Dubai for an exciting event where the award is presented.
The winner in the first year was Nancie Atwell, a teacher from the USA, and media interest in her
success was enormous. After accepting her prize, Nancie gave a speech in which she talked about
the fact that as a teacher you can make a real difference to students’ lives.
Nancie discovered a love of books when she was a child, and went on to become an English teacher.
Like many other teachers, she enjoys the chance to be creative in the classroom. She developed a
technique called the writing-reading workshop, which she first described in her book ‘In The Middle’.
Her method allows students to choose the subjects they write about and the books they read, and
her success is evident in that many of her students have become published authors. Being able to
see students make progress is an explanation given by many teachers for their love of teaching.
The winner of the Global Teacher Prize receives US$1 million. When asked what they would do with
this money, various finalists suggested that they could buy teaching equipment for their school, or
use it to design an educational website. Nancie donated her award to the Center for Teaching and
Learning, the school she set up in 1990 to support less advantaged students. One thing finalists all
agree on, however, is that their role as a teacher enables them to share their love of learning.
The 2016 competition was also a great success. The award was presented to a primary school
teacher called Hanan Al Hroub. She developed her own specialist teaching approach, which is
based on developing trusting and friendly relationships with students, paying attention to their
individual needs, and above all, rewarding positive behaviour. She wrote about this in her book ‘We
Play and Learn’, which has inspired other teachers to review the way they teach.
Would you consider going into the teaching profession? After all, no two days are the same, which
is what attracts many to teaching in the first place. Perhaps the Global Teacher Prize can inspire
more people to try to become the outstanding teachers of the future!

Exercise 3
The International Student Technology Conference takes place in April each year. This year it was held
in Budapest, Hungary. Students from many different countries attended, including Gregor Brundt and
his friend Andrei Stroman, who both go to MTB International College in Munich, Germany. Gregor had
seen an advertisement for last year’s conference, which took place in Warsaw, Poland, but he had
exams then, so he couldn’t go. He had been looking forward to this year’s conference since that time.
Overall, he found it was a very positive experience.
Gregor and Andrei travelled to Budapest by train, then got a bus to the hotel where the conference
was taking place. They had been sent instructions on how to get there, and Gregor particularly liked
the really useful colour-coded map. First of all, they had to register, and provide contact details in case
of emergency. Gregor gave his parents’ names – Andrei and Angela Brundt. He decided to give his
mother’s work email address – avbrundt@era-international.com – as she checks that regularly, and
the family address, which is Alpenweg 16, 73091 Rosenheim, Germany. He also gave his own email
address – techking@familybrundt.com – so the organisers could send him a feedback form to fill in
after the conference. He was given an attractive cloth bag, containing his ID badge and a pen.
Some students stayed at the hotel, but it was quite expensive, so Gregor had chosen to stay with a
local family instead. The conference organisers had made all the accommodation arrangements, and
the family collected him from the hotel after he had registered. Unfortunately, they had to wait for him
because the queue to register was quite long. Gregor thought there should be more than one desk for
registering, to speed up the process.
There were several sessions each day, and students could choose which ones to go to. Gregor
attended one on programming, and another on music technology, both of which were very interesting.
He thought that the careers talk was the most valuable session of them all. He was lucky to get in, as
lots of students wanted to go to this talk, but the room wasn’t big enough for everyone. Each session
lasted for 90 minutes; some students felt that this was a bit too long, but Gregor thought it was just
right. In fact, he felt that the whole conference, including the social programme, was very well planned.
The dinner on the final evening was the highlight for him. Everyone was presented with a certificate,
and a special conference mug, which was Gregor’s favourite souvenir from the event.
Several competitions took place during the conference. Gregor was interested in one on robots, but
it was full. Instead he entered another, and designed an app for keeping up with homework. Andrei
actually won his competition on computer gaming. All the competition entries were put on display
outside the main hall. There was also a book stall, which Gregor thought could be a bit bigger, although
he did find an interesting book on robots.
Imagine you are Gregor. Fill in the form, using the information above.

Exercise 4
Read the article about WWF (The World Wildlife Fund), and then complete the notes.
WWF
The World Wildlife Fund, usually called WWF, is the first global green organisation. It was set up
by a small group of people in 1961 in Switzerland, and national WWF offices gradually opened
across the world after that. The aim of the organisation is to protect the environment and the future
of wildlife.
WWF focuses on conducting research to establish the extent of environmental problems. The
organisation recently published a report which revealed three worrying findings. It established
that wildlife populations worldwide have declined by 52% since 1970. It also showed that humans
are using the world’s natural resources far too quickly. As a result, our future on this planet is
threatened.
Their extensive research enables WWF to come up with solutions to the environmental problems.
One method of dealing with global threats to the environment is by running conservation projects
all around the world. As the human population is growing, more land is being used for farming.
This has reduced the natural habitat of many wild animals, and as a result wildlife and people are
now living closer together, which can cause problems. For example, villagers in parts of India have
been cutting down trees to use for fuel, but this destroys the natural habitat of tigers. Therefore,
WWF is donating biogas stoves to help people cook and heat their homes without the need to cut
down trees. Another endangered animal in parts of east Africa is the mountain gorilla, which looks
for food on farmers’ land. WWF is providing head torches for mountain rangers, so they can patrol
farmland by night, and return mountain gorillas to the safety of the forest. And in Nepal, WWF is
supplying fences so that farmers can protect their land and prevent endangered snow leopards
from attacking their farm animals.
In addition to these projects, WWF is working with businesses and industries in many countries
to encourage them to work in more environmentally friendly ways. WWF also believes strongly in
raising awareness through advertising, so that people around the world are better informed and
understand the threats to the environment. An example of successful advertising at a local level
has been to highlight the dangers faced by turtles which get caught in fishing nets. WWF has been
working with fishermen in Tanzania, to help them see the importance of turtle conservation. In
the past, if they had to cut a trapped turtle free, their nets could not be used again. So WWF has
been replacing fishing nets, which makes it more likely that fishermen will release turtles. Another
successful project run by WWF in Africa has focused on reducing potential conflict between
humans and elephants. Elephants love to eat crops, so they come on to farmland which puts them
and the villagers at risk. WWF has encouraged farmers to set up beehives away from their land, as
elephants are even more attracted to honey. WWF provides farmers with bee-keeping equipment
so they can manage these hives, and therefore live safely alongside elephants.
WWF also works with young people of all nationalities to inspire them to care about nature, and
to help them to make positive choices for their future on this planet. Whether WWF is working at a
local or global level, the aim is the same – to protect our planet for future generations.

Exercise 5
Read the news article about a city in Bangladesh which successfully reduced air pollution.
Write a summary about what caused the high levels of pollution, AND how the city managed to
improve living conditions.
Rajshahi – a city successfully reducing air pollution

Until recently, the long hot summers in Rajshahi used to be made a lot worse for the locals, because
they had to keep their windows shut – not because of the wind or monsoon rains, but because of
the poor air quality.
Dust from the roads all around the city was one of the main contributors. That, and the smoke and
chemicals produced by the brick-making industry, made Rajshahi one of the world’s most polluted
cities. However, Rajshahi has managed to improve things so dramatically that the city has made
the headlines. According to United Nations data, the Bangladeshi city did more than any other city
in the world to get rid of these air particles that cause pollution and are so bad for human health.
Most of the inhabitants are too poor to own cars, which normally cause air pollution in many
other cities. Instead, it was the effort made to clean up the city’s brick kilns, where the bricks are
baked, that was partly to thank for the achievement. Levels of the larger air particles went from
195 micrograms per cubic metre in 2014 to 63.9 in 2016, a reduction of about two-thirds. Levels of
the smaller air particles were nearly halved from 70 to 37 micrograms per cubic metre, the second
highest reduction of any city in the world.
Many of the city’s inhabitants remember having to close windows and doors to stop a thin layer of dirt
appearing on every surface in their house. Even today, with air quality dramatically improved, there
is still so much dust in the air that city officials are unable to go ahead with the idea of introducing
solar panels. They fear that dust will settle on the panels and prevent them from generating power
within weeks. Nevertheless, air quality has been transformed. One reason for this is that there is
a ‘zero-soil’ programme in the city, which means that no part of the ground should be bare earth.
Instead, to reduce the amount of dust kicked up by people and vehicles, the city has been made
greener by planting grass, flowers and trees wherever possible.
City officials began looking at transport in 2004, when they imported many battery-powered
rickshaws from China. These three-wheeled vehicles are the main form of public transport, and
their batteries keep the air clean. There was also a ban on large lorries from the city centre, which
added to the improvement of air quality, keeping the air free of petrol and diesel fumes.
One city official became convinced that the city needed more pavements, after looking into urban
planning in other countries. Previously, the sides of most city roads were dusty and broken, making
them dangerous and unappealing to walk along. So far, 15 kilometres of pavements have been
added, and there are plans for more. Apart from encouraging a healthier lifestyle, the pavements
help to control the dust in the air. There are also plans to introduce cycle lanes in the future,
although the high temperatures in the summer mean that this mode of transport may not be the
most popular.
People are now proud of their city, and have started looking after it more. One resident, who spent
over ten years working in Europe, reported how much it had changed. “I was worried I’d find it hard
to live here after so much time abroad. But I came back to find the city has been transformed.”

Exercise 1
Read the article about Dr Sarah Hilton, a researcher working in Antarctica, and then answer the
following questions.
Antarctic space research
Nobody knows what it’s like to live on Mars, but the

scientist Dr Sarah Hilton does have some idea. She’s
spending a year at the Concordia research base in
Antarctica, where the special conditions found there
are helping her learn about what life on Mars might be
like for future astronauts.
The region has an average temperature of minus
50 °C. The sun vanishes completely for four months in
winter, with temperatures dropping to minus 80 °C. The
base is so far from civilisation that it’s the only place on
Earth where you get the same feeling of remoteness
that astronauts experience. In fact, it takes longer
to get to Antarctica than to the International Space
Station 400 kilometres above us!
Sarah is part of a team of 13 scientists who are living and working at the base. During summer,
Concordia is home to up to 60 visiting scientists. But in winter, a crew of only 10 is left to run the
base, so everyone has several roles: the chef is also a fireman; the plumber is trained as a medical
assistant.
When asked why she applied, Sarah says: ‘I’ve always been fascinated by Antarctica. I’d already
experienced working in constant daylight at the North Pole, which had a negative effect on
my body’s ability to tell day from night. But sleeping in 24-hour darkness in Antarctica is totally
different. Also, you immediately notice the flat landscape and strong winds here.’ Sarah’s main
job is monitoring the effects of these conditions on health, as previous studies found that people
working in Antarctica share many physical challenges with those working in space. Results on
Earth can give clues about possible problems astronauts might face.
Sarah has discovered that although the freezing cold and lack of sunlight make conditions very
uncomfortable, she was surprised to find that living with strangers is harder than anything else.
Her team is of mixed experience and cultural background, including a French scientist, an Italian
physicist and some Spanish astronomers. Although English is used when discussing research,
there is a multicultural atmosphere, with Spanish being the most common language used in social
situations.
Sarah started off trying to make friends with everyone because like being in space, communicating
with people back home can be difficult. She soon realised, however, that having just a few close
friends has made her feel more positive, and has also enabled her to focus more on work. She
produces research which predicts how people might perform on future missions to the Moon, Mars
and beyond. One study that Sarah hopes will be useful is to measure people’s eyesight during their
visit, as, just like the conditions in space, everyone at the base has only artificial light for many months.
Considering this difficult environment, everyday life at the base is well-managed, with the team
kept occupied. While most prefer reading books, or using the games consoles provided, Sarah
enjoys taking photos to record her trip when she isn’t working. The food at the base is good,
even if most of it is preserved – for example, vegetables and meat come in tins. Sarah admits to
missing things like salad, although she made sure she brought plenty of chocolate, her favourite
treat, with her on the trip. Team members’ personal items are important, and Sarah regrets not
having her favourite shampoo, which she wasn’t allowed to bring with her. This is because the
base in Antarctica reuses its water through the same special recycling system that is used on the
International Space Station, and it can’t cope with the chemicals found in many washing products.
And Sarah’s future? She says, ‘I’d love to go to Mars if I could, but I don’t think it’s very likely!’

Exercise 2
Read the article about four people (A–D) who are reviewing computer games that they’ve played.
Then answer Question 11 (a)–(j).
Computer game reviews
A Tom
In Rune Island, a brother and sister start out on a remote island. The aim of the game is to follow
clues and solve puzzles to reach the highest point of the island, where a mysterious scientist awaits.
You can play either as the boy or girl throughout, and as each character has special abilities, it’s
worth changing between the two as you play. During the game, you climb things, push objects
around and even use sunlight to activate switches that open doors. To start with, it’s nothing more
than a gentle game with some nice music, but as time goes on, you get more involved in the action.
I really love puzzle games, and I assumed I’d feel the same about Rune Island. I like it, but it rarely
offers anything tricky, although there were a few tasks that left me feeling satisfied when I’d solved
them. You can only climb certain rocks, marked by their colour, and while this shows you where to

Journey is a treasure-hunt adventure set in a breath-taking world. The setting looks as if it comes
straight out of a movie, with its lush jungle environment and dramatic music, and you almost feel
like you’re watching actors on a screen running and jumping, rather than computer images. The
game contains a range of puzzles, and you need to use different approaches to solve them. It can
be difficult to use some of the objects that you find, which unfortunately can interrupt the enjoyment
of being involved in the game. The only other issues are that although it’s exciting, it’s not very
long, and there aren’t really many options to go off the path and explore. Once you finish, there’s
little value in repeating the game in the hope of experiencing something new. Still, it’s gorgeous,
challenging, and a great example of what virtual reality is capable of.

In Farspace, you choose which character you want to be, and try to escape from a distant planet.
One of the fun things about difficult games is advancing through a hard level. Unfortunately, in
Farspace, you need more than skill, as all too often, success is based on chance. At any point you
might meet an enemy that seems impossible to beat – and if you don’t win, you have to start again.
One tip is to listen to the soundtrack, as the style of the music is often a clue to what might be
around the corner. You might get lucky and find some items to help, but then you don’t know which
character can use them. As you can’t change characters mid-game, you have to start again to find
out. The characters look great, and although you won’t be exploring the surrounding landscape –
the game is based in the city – the stunning video-clips remind you that you’re in another world.

Snowscape is an extreme winter-sports game in the mountains of Switzerland. Open ‘map view’
and you fly around a realistic 3D model of the mountains and find somewhere to land. To start
snowboarding, skiing or paragliding, just bring up a menu, choose the sport, and you’re off, straight
into the action. There are various events that you can repeat to improve your skill, like races and
time trials – so many, in fact, that I spent more time deciding what to do next, rather than enjoying
the game. My favourite event is one that marks a distant point, maybe the peak of a mountain,
then simply asks you to reach it. Here the freedom of being able to switch sports really works. It’s
exciting not to be limited to following a particular path, and you soon find out which sport is best for
travelling through forests and valleys and over peaks to reach your goal.

Exercise 3
Read the article about making energy from the sea, and then complete the notes.
Wave power: creating energy from the sea

Wave power is a source of energy that is created from the movement of the waves in the sea as
they roll towards the shore then back out again. This regular movement means it is easy to predict
how much energy will be produced. Equipment to collect the energy from the waves is already in
place along many coastal regions including the United States, Canada, Scotland and Australia.
At a time when we understand that the remaining supplies of fossil fuels such as coal are very low
in some places, it is good to know that wave power will never run out. The seas which have been
a constant feature of our planet for billions of years are a vital part of our lives. While there is no
doubt that we have a need for power, we must protect our planet from destructive human activities.
In contrast to the way that fossil fuels are produced, no harmful waste is created in the process of
obtaining energy from the waves. There are some problems, however. As parts of the equipment
use chemicals to keep them running smoothly, there is always the possibility that these chemicals
might spill into the water nearby and cause pollution.
For countries which have coastlines, major coastal cities are often important destinations for
large cargo ships and recreational boats. As wave-power equipment is often situated just off the
coastline, it can cause disruption to shipping, so governments and private companies that want to
invest in wave power must consider the needs of those they may be disturbing. In addition, they
have to take into account the fact that the energy produced by the waves can only be used in
urban areas close to the sea.
Wave-power generators are large machines that may be unpleasant to look at for people living in
coastal regions. They may be found in places that rely on holidaymakers, which could therefore
have a damaging effect on the local tourist economy. Being situated close to the land could also be
a problem in terms of noise from the machinery. Fortunately, the noise they make is covered by the
natural sound of the waves, which is actually louder than the equipment.
Those who choose to invest in wave power do so in the knowledge that, unlike the situation with
fossil fuels, wave power causes minimal damage to the Earth. While it can’t be denied that to some
extent the machinery can disturb the creatures that live on the seabed, for many people, this is
preferable to something like coal mining. Here, the extraction process can cause considerable
damage to the landscape. Furthermore, the construction and management of wave-power sites
can provide opportunities for creating ‘green jobs’ in the local community. Most people would
consider this as a positive step.
Anyone who is interested in using waves to create power must examine both sides of the argument.
What is certain is that traditional methods of fuelling the planet need to change, in response to both
global climate conditions and the availability of the fuels we have relied on for years.

Exercise 4
14 Read the article about a type of animal called a sloth, which lives in forests in parts of Central and
South America.
Write a summary about the features of sloths’ bodies that enable them to live in trees.
Your summary should be about 100 words long (and no more than 120 words long). You
should use your own words as far as possible.
Sloths
The sloth is an animal that spends most of its time high up in the trees of Central and South America.
There are different species of sloths, including the brown-throated sloth and the endangered pygmy
sloth.
The word ‘sloth’ means inclined to laziness, and these relaxed
and very slow-moving creatures certainly appear to live up to
the name. With the help of their extremely specialised claws
which curve toward the wrist creating four large, natural
hooks, they can hang upside down from a tree branch for
days without effort. This is also possible as they have less
muscle mass than you might expect – 30% less than other
mammals of equal size. In fact, they eat, sleep, breed and give
birth while hanging from tree branches. You would expect that
being born high above the ground might cause problems if the
babies slip, but they are born with such strong skeletons that
a fall from the trees will generally not hurt them. Sloths exist
almost entirely on a diet of leaves which they pull from the trees using their long sticky tongues.
These leaves are such a poor source of nutrition and energy that eating is central to the creatures’
whole lifestyle, and they spend almost every waking moment doing it.
Due to the amount of effort needed to obtain enough nutrients, the sloth’s metabolism (the chemical
process in the body that breaks down food) is amazingly slow. In fact, it is the slowest in the entire
animal kingdom, meaning that a leaf that is consumed might take weeks to pass through the sloth’s
body.
The time spent eating means a lack of time spent on maintaining clean fur, which in turn allows an
organism called algae to grow on the sloths during the rainy season. This gives their fur a greenish
colour which is useful as they spend as much as 95% of their lives in the trees, where the colour
helps hide them from other animals. The fur has another important benefit: in most mammals, hair
grows downwards, towards the feet, but because sloths spend so much time hanging upside down
with their legs above their bodies, the outer hairs grow in the opposite direction, away from the feet.
This provides protection against the rain, creating a natural path for water to flow off the animal.
Sloths have also adapted internally for an upside-down life. All their internal organs, including the
heart, liver and stomach, are arranged inside in a different pattern from that seen in most mammals.
This means that nothing gets crushed or obstructed when the animal is hanging motionless for
extended periods of time. Even with the ability to remain still and hidden among the leaves, it is
still important to know what’s going on around you. Sloths therefore possess an extra bone in their
neck which allows them to turn their head nearly 270 degrees. This enables them to look down at
the forest floor while hanging from a tree.
Many sloths need to move to sunny spots to warm up when it is cold. In such weather, their
temperature drops and they find it harder to move because they are so cold. This can be dangerous
for sloth populations because they must move around in the tree to eat in order to survive.
