UNIT 1 GROWING UP
Read the story.

GROWING UP
I have never woken up on the morning of my birthday and “felt older”, I always expected to, but the
completion of another year never seems to bring the instant enlightenment and confidence I
associate with being grown up. I think this is because “growing up” is more about the experiences
one gains or that we all have, and the things we learn from them all the time in our lives, than
about crossing days off the calendar.
Very often, these experiences are small and mundane, like the routine of going to school, work or
farm every day, or learning your way around the neighbourhood. Sometimes, though, we
experience particular events or occasions we feel are important – as if we have been given a boost
on the path to maturity.
We eventually look back on these events as very significant in our process of “growing up”
moments, the kind of moments that we all share, when we learn more about ourselves, our family
and friends, as well as the world around us. Here are just a few of these kind of moments.
Exercises 1
Find in the crosswords, some of the words that were used in the story you have just read.
M C A L E N D A R D

Exercises 2
Look at these sentences used in the story
a. I have never woken up…
b. Very often these experiences are small and mundane…
c. Sometimes though, we experience particular events…
All the underlined words are adverbs of frequency. They are used to describe how often an
action happens.
1
There are six main adverbs of frequency that we use in English: always, usually (or normally),
often, sometimes, rarely, and never.
Examples
 My parents always walk to work.
 They usually arrive late for the meetings.
 My father often forgets his birthday.
 Hermenegildo sometimes wakes up early.
 I rarely drink tea in the morning.
Now, complete the sentences using the correct adverb of frequency. (usually, never, hardly, never
& rarely)
a. You ……………………………..ever say you love me.

b. Jenny ………………drinks coffee in the evening.
c. We are ……………………………unhappy.
d. She …………………………………….. speaks to her friends in English.
e. My friends and I ……………………………. have tea for breakfast.

UNIT 2 IMPORTANCE OF EDUCATION
Look at the pictures and then read the story.

EDUCATION
Education is no longer restricted to bookish knowledge and four walls of schools, colleges and
universities. Apart from the activities in the classrooms, laboratories and libraries, a student has an
opportunity to find out and express his hidden potential in the form of various extracurricular
activities. Youth festivals are the best platforms for such activities.
It is essential for all round development of a student that he should participate in one or the other
activity. There are many extracurricular activities some of them are declamation, debate,
histrionics, mimicry, painting, music, dance, singing poetical recitation etc.
Mere classroom studies make it boring and monotonous and students need some outlet for their
energies. They need opportunities and for entertainment also. Youth festivals are the spice of
academic life. When students prepare for various items, they have a sense of achievement, a
sense of doing something useful. Preparing the stage for the show, receiving the guest artists from
other institutions and looking after them inculcate in them a sense of responsibility, co-operation
and tolerance.
As the competitions of these youth festivals are organised among students of almost the same
age, they get rid of stage phobia. They no longer feel shy of the audience and the stage. They
learn to face an audience.
Youth festivals are the best means to search the talent among the youth. These budding artists will
become the singers, actors and orators of tomorrow. Youth festivals prove to be the stepping
stones for the future real life. The absence of youth festivals makes student life insipid and boring.
As such, students take to subversive activities. If they remain busy in preparing for competition in
youth festivals their time is used in a productive and fruitful way.

UNIT 3 SUCCESSFUL AND FAMOUS
Directions: Read the story. Then answer the questions below.

NELSON MANDELA
Nelson Mandela was one of the most loved and respected people
in the world. For countless reasons he was and remains a huge
hero. He was a person from whom we can all learn many lessons.
He experienced many things in his nine decades, from being
tortured to becoming president of the country he loved. After
retiring, he continued to travel the world, helping people and
raising awareness of global issues.
Nelson was born in 1918 into a South Africa that was divided along black and white racial lines.
He said he had a wonderful childhood and was a keen runner and boxer. He learnt more of the
terrible apartheid system when he studied to become a lawyer. This led to his campaigning for
equal rights and his involvement in the African National Congress (ANC), which he later became
the leader of.
The South African government did its best to keep Mandela from spreading his message of
equality for blacks and racial unity. It put him in prison for 27 years. He became famous around
the world as an icon of the struggle for freedom in South Africa. Rock stars, actors, politicians and
ordinary people campaigned to free him and end apartheid. He was released from prison in 1990
and the world rejoiced.
Nelson Mandela's call for racial reconciliation won him the hearts of millions. He also won the
Nobel Peace Prize, in 1993, and over 250 more awards. A year later, he became his country's first
ever black president and served in office until 1999. In his retirement, he continued to tirelessly
campaign for many global causes until old age slowed him down. He died on the 5th of
December, 2013, aged 95.

UNIT 4 ENGLISH IN THE BUSINESS WORLD TODAY
Source: https://www.facebook.com/Mozambique4business/
TO START-UP OR NOT?
A Start-up is a new business that has just begun. Starting a new business is difficult and Start-ups
are very vulnerable trying to compete with more established companies in the Business world.
New businesses are often started in a bedroom or home office. Mark Zuckerberg created
Facebook from his Harvard dormitory. Steve Jobs started Apple in his father‟s garage.
It is difficult for a new business to get funding. Some use a Crowd-funding platform like Kickstarter,
where many people invest or donate a small amount of money.
50% of new businesses will fail in the first five years. 25% will fail within the first year. The number
one reason is that they offer a product or service that people don‟t want. Other reasons for failure
include financial fraud and a lack of managerial experience.
But what about the ones who succeed? Uber started in 2009 and today has an estimated value of
$62.5 billion.

UNIT 5 NEW TECHNOLOGY- FRIEND OR ENEMY
INNOVATION OF NEW TECHNOLOGIES

It is an indisputable fact that the world has gone too far with the innovation of new technologies
such as mobile phones, the internet and so on, due to which people are able to tour the cosmos
virtually sitting at one place using their smart devices or other technological gadgets. Though
mobile internet access is often times hurried and short, it can still provide common internet features
like alerts, weather data, emails, search engines, instant messages, and game and music
downloading.
Due to the easy access of smart phones, communication has been very effective and instant.
People are able to convey their message all around the globe to their loved ones without spending
hefty sums of money. Adults are always fond of such gadgets and they always welcome and adopt
such new technology readily. Further, young people have been able to broaden their minds and
improve their skills by doing research on the Internet. For instance, they use smart phones to look
up any new word they come across. As we know that most of the universities have online teaching
provision and smart phones assist the students to complete their assignments on time.
The mobile phone has been a lifesaver for a lot of people in case of an emergency. Likewise, use
of smart phones can be of vital importance in preventing crimes in the society by providing
information to the security forces in time.
Nonetheless, for the young the use of mobile phone can be like an addiction and they can misuse
it. Young people are also prone to getting involved in undesirable activities on the Internet. This
might have adverse effect on their academic performance. Therefore, young people should always
be monitored and made aware of its bad outcomes.
Also a major contributor to its popularity is the availability of prepaid or pay as you go services form
a phone shop or an online store. This allows subscribers to load text or airtime credits to their
handsets by the use of their credit cards, debit cards or by buying a prepaid card from the network
they subscribe to. This plan also doesn‟t commit a particular customer to a contract. If prepaid card
is not that appealing to you, then you can opt to subscribe using the pay by month plan.

UNIT 6 DISCOVERING THE WORLD
Source: https://www.google.com/search?q=worlds+largest+countri

WORLD'S LARGEST COUNTRIES
There are 195 different countries in the world. While some countries are in fact small towns with
few residents, other countries are so large they can be homes to snow and sunny weather at the
same time.
Top six largest countries in the world account for nearly half of all the land in the world, so they
never cease to inspire with their geography, as well as animal and plant diversity.
Russia
When it comes to size, no other country in the world comes close to Russia. With the total area of
6,612,100 square miles (17,125,200 km2), Russia spans across the entire north of Asia, and it also
has a small part which geographically belongs to Europe.
Russia is so large it covers one-eighth of all inhabited land area on our planet. Although the
largest, this is only the ninth most populated country in the world with 144 million people, most of
whom live in the European part.
Spreading across eleven different time zones, Russia's land is covered in steppes in the south,
and tundra in the north, which is called Siberia. The north coast of Russia is usually covered in
snow every single day of the year.
A steppe is a large, flat area of land with grass but no trees. A steppe receives little rain each year.
This is enough rain to support grasses, but not enough for trees to grow. It is found in temperate
(without extreme cold or heat) regions of earth.
A tundra is a large, flat area of land with only low growing plants. It is found in very cold regions of
earth. Tree growth is difficult there because of the cold temperatures, and without much plants, few
animal species can survive there.
16
Canada
The second largest country in the world, occupying 3,855,100 square miles (9,984,670 km2), is
situated on the North American continent and has only 36 million people.
Like in Russia, some parts of Canada are extremely cold, covered in snow all year round. The
world's northern most settlement, only 508 miles away from the North Pole, is also situated in
Canada. Indigenous people like the Inuit, a group of Eskimos who still build snow houses or igloos,
had lived in Canada for thousands of years before European settlers came.
United States of America
Bordering only Canada and Mexico, the United States of America (US) incorporate 3,796,742
square miles (9.833,520 km2) of the Northern American continent.
The US is a federation of 50 states, famously depicted as stars on its flag. Forty-eight of these
states are contiguous (sharing a common border), while Alaska, which was bought from Russia in
the 19th century, is in the north-western corner of the continent, across the entire Canada.
The state of Hawaii is also detached from other states, being an archipelago (a group of small
islands) in the Pacific.
Extreme weather conditions are very likely in the south of the country. In fact, most of the world's
tornadoes happen in the US.
17
China
Despite having much smaller territory than Russia, China is by far the most populated country in
the world with 1.4 billion of people.
Spreading across 3,705,407 square miles (9,596,961 km2), Chinese landscape varies greatly from
one region to another, with grasslands, steppes, forests and even deserts.
Due to the fertile basin (an area of land from which water flows into a river) of the Yellow River,
now located in the north of the country, China was able to rise as one of the earliest and most
powerful civilizations in the world.
Hosting nearly 35,000 different species of animals and plants, China is one of the most biodiverse
countries in the world, and home to the popular black and white pandas.
Brazil
Brazil, the largest country in South America, has a population of 208 million and a territory of
3,287,956 square miles (8,515,767 km2).
Having once been a Portuguese colony, Brazil today has very ethnically diverse population, with
half of the residents identifying as mixed race, and notable Asian and indigenous minorities.
Since the Amazon River basin is located in Brazil, the vast tropical forest around it accounts for
much of Brazil's territory. The Amazon rainforest is a protected habitat (natural home of an animal
or plant), unique not only for its rich wildlife, but also because some 70 isolated tribes still live in it.
Due to heavy industrialization, this natural heritage of Brazil is now threatened by mining, oil
extraction and dam building.
18
Australia
The only country on the Australian continent, Australia is composed of a massive mainland, the
island of Tasmania and several smaller islands, spreading across 2,969,907 square miles
(7,692,024 km2).
Australia was completely unexplored by outsiders until the first Brits settled in the 18th century.
Prior to that, the country was solely inhabited by indigenous Australians, called Aborigines. These
groups, who ones spoke 250 different languages, now make up only 2% of the total population.
Australians normally live in coastal areas, so the largest middle part of the country mostly has
deserts, grasslands, and very few people. Australia is known as the home of koalas, kangaroos
and hundreds of venomous (poisonous) species.

UNIT 8 LIFE AFTER SCHOOL
MY SCHOOL LIFE
When I started at this school, my first impressions weren‟t very good. I didn‟t know anyone, so I felt
worried and shy. I thought my classmates were very quiet, and the school was big and unfriendly.
But after a few weeks I felt much better. I was more relaxed, and I started to make new friends.
Now I really enjoy going to school. I see my friends here every day, and I like most of my classes.
This year I‟m studying ten subjects. My favourite subject is geography. At the moment we‟re doing
a project about the environment. It‟s about the way the world‟s temperature is increasing, and its
effect on the weather. I‟m definitely interested in studying geography at university. I also go to an
after-school club at school. The after-school club is a place where you do other activities, like
sports or creative things. I go there twice a week. At the moment we‟re learning to edit digital
photographs on the computer. I think that it‟s really exciting.
Most of my teachers here are nice. The best teacher is Mrs Hammond, my geography teacher. At
first, I didn‟t like Mrs Hammond because I thought she was too strict. But in fact she‟s very friendly.
The only teacher I don‟t like is Mr Brown. He‟s really moody and he gives us too much homework.
