We make them and we break them, because some promises are very hard to keep. Here are the top
six most common broken promises...
1. ...................................
You always hear this from builders, plumbers, and electricians. But the truth is very different. They
won't come back until next week (or later). And you will probably need to phone them five times first.
2. ...................................
We love hearing secrets and we happily make this promise. And at the time we really mean it. 'Don't
worry,' we say, 'your secret is safe with me.' But of course it isn't. Research shows that everybody will
always tell one other person the secret. Very soon the whole street will know!
3. ...................................
A favourite phrase of doctors, dentists, and nurses. They usually say it just
before they give you an injection. But the phrase is not complete. The full
phrase is: 'This won't hurt me (but it will probably hurt you a lot).'
4. ...................................
You make a new friend on holiday or on a bus journey, you swap e-mail addresses, and you make this
promise. Six months later you find a name and e-mail address on a card or an old piece of paper. 'Oh
dear!' you think - but then you remember that they didn't write to you either!
5. ...................................
In Hamlet. Shakespeare told us never to borrow or lend money. He was right. When we lend people
money they always make this promise, but then they forget. If we then ask for the money back, they
think we are mean. If we don't ask, we never get the money back.
6. ...................................
Whitney Houston sang a song about this and every day, all over the world thousands of people make
the same promise to each other. We know eternal love exists, but is this promise the most difficult one
to keep of them all?
b. Read the text again. Find words to match to the definitions. Underline the stressed syllable.
1. ................................... (n) a person who repairs water pipes, baths, etc.
2. ................................... (n) studies to find more information about something
3. ................................... (n) putting medicine under the skin with a needle
4. ................................... (n) the act of travelling from one place to another
5. ................................... (adj) something which lasts forever
