Unit I — Crossing Barriers
Lead-in (p. 7)
Read out the title.
Discuss the meaning. First, elicit the general meaning of 'barrier'. A barrier
stops something from happening e.g. an object, like a fence or a wall, or a law
or a problem. It could also be a language e.g. 'a language barrier' people who
don't speak the same language may not be able to communicate.
I Ask
ss if they have any experience of the highlighted places on the map (if they've
been there, if they know anyone who lives there etc) and what they know about
them. Then ask them what they think the highlighted regions have in common.
Suggested Answer Key
I think the common element
is that in all ofthe highlighted regions the English language is important: in
some places it is a native language (e.g. Britain, Ireland, North America,
Australia and New Zealand); in some places it is an official language (e.g.
Papua New Guinea, Hong Kong) although different local languages exist too; in
other places it is used widely as the language of administration and business
(e.g. Singapore, India), and in some places it is simply an important second
language that most people learn (eg. South America). Some of the regions
include former British colonies (e.g. many African states, India, Hong Kong,
parts of the Caribbean etc) and so have been influenced by the English language
and culture. The native cultures and religions in the highlighted areas vary
widely. English can be seen as a way of crossing the barriers created by
different cultures, religions and native languages.

Elicit other factors from
ss, then list their ideas on the board.
Suggested Answer Key
Other factors which have
encouraged the use of English around the world: ss wanting to come to an
English-speaking country to study; job prospects in their own country.
3
a. Go through the list.
Allow ss two minutes to do the exercise. Then ss compaïe their list to
their partner's.
b. Ask
ss what they find difficult while learning English (e.g. pronunciation, phrasal
verbs, grammar, idioms etc).  Write them on the board. Go through the table, then get two ss to read
out the example. ss work in closed pairs. Check round the class then ask some
groups to act out their dialogues.
Suggested Answer Key
A: I've gota problem with
pronunciation.
B: IfI were
you, rd watch films. A: That's a good idea.
4
Tell ss to look at the
two quotations and explain what they mean. ss in pairs discuss which one they
agree with Encourage ss to explain why.
Suggested Answer Key
The first one means that
if people all over the world spoke one language, communication would be easier
and so the world would be more peaceful.
The second one means that
every single one of the world3 languages is very important, so when a language
disappears because nobody speaks it any more, something important is lost. I
agree with the second one,•because the first one gives the impression that it
would be a good idea ifeveryone spoke the same language.
5, ss discuss in closed
pairs. Check pairs round the class.
 Suggested Answer Key
A: I think that English will be more widely spoken in the future. More and more young people still want
to learn English, and many want to go and study in an English-speaking country
B:
That's true. In many countries, English is still the key to a successful
career. I think that English will continue to be the language ofcomputers and
the Internet.
Reading (pp. 8-9)

native language. Write the figures on the board. Ask for

b.
Go through the statements
and elicit ss' guesses. ss scan paragraphs Y and 4 of the text to check if
their guesses were correct.
c.
Ask Ss to look at the
title of the article and the headings in the box. Explain any unknown
vocabulary items. Elicit ss' ideas about the contents of the article
Answer Key
1      True         2 True      3 True      4
False
2      Explain that ss will have to match the
headings to the paragraphs. Draw ss' attention to the strategy box. Remind ss
that it is not necessary to understand every word in the text to do this
exercise.
Ask ss to skim the whole
text for general meaning. Emphasise the importance of getting an overall idea
of what the text is about before attempting the paragraphheading matching
exercise. (Check general comprehension by asking 'What change is it about?' and
'Is it an easy change to make?' It is about the change from mainly English websites
to websites in many different languages. Translating the sites into different
languages will be difficult and a lot of work)
Tell ss to read the first
headed paragraph of the text carefully. Ask ss to work out why heading B has
been chosen for this paragraph. (The phrases 'it might make you think everyone
in the world speaks English' and 'give you the impression that it is the worlds
most widely spoken language'and 'If this were true, it would all fit the idea
of false impressions' in heading B. Also the figures in the following paragraph
show that the impression that everyonespeaks in English is indeed false.)
Tell ss to
read the second headed paragraph carefully and choose a heading for it from the
list. If ss find this difficult, draw their attention to all the that are
mentioned ('Yet English is mother tongue for only 5.4% of the world's population',
'a further 79" areproficient', 'only around 12% can communicate well in
English', This figure is nowhere near the total number of people speaking
Chinese') and point out also how this information contrasts with the impression that •everyone in the
world speaks English' in the previous paragraph (and is therefore u.2Lisjng).
If ss easily found the answer (F) without help, ask them to explain which
phrases helped them. Continue in the same way for the next paragraph — ask ss
to read and choose a heading, and then ask them to justify their choice. If
students are unsure, draw their attention to the phrase 'people would
apparently rather buy things online if they can order in their own language',
pointing out that 'would rather' means 'prefer' (so H 'Personal preferences' is
the best heading). Repeat the procedure for the next paragraph. For the last
four paragraphs, ask students to continue by themselves, underlining phrases
that link to the headings they choose. Then ask ss to compare ther answers and
the phrases they have underlined in pairs. Finally check ss' answers and the
underlined phrases as a class.

to the tapescript on p. 240. Ask ss to work in pairs to underline the parts of
the script that are paraphrased by the sentences they have completed in the
exercise, and see how the information is worded differently.
c.    ss discuss the question in pairs for a
few minutes. Then get feedback from the class.

3 Explain to ss that in this
task they will be in pairs. First one student will have to speak for about a
minute about two pictures. The student will be asked to compare and contrast
the pictures, and say something else (the question will vary according to the
pictures). Then the other student will have to give a brief answer to another
question about the same pictures. After that, roles are reversed with another
set of two pictures.

Write 'THEATRE' on the board and ask ss if they ever go, and what is enjoyable
about the theatre. Use this discussion to check that ss know basic vocabulary
to do with they theatre that will be used in the text (NB 'to act', 'actor',
'audience', •the stage', 'a play, 'a performance', 'a musical', 'lines' and
'producer').
Alternatively, ask ss, in
pairs..to work out mindmaps with 'THEATRE'.

requires that theatres become accessible to deaf people'). Also help ss to
understand why the other answers are wrong (A' actor/actress not stated that
deaf people were avoiding the theatre; B: theatres curtain were obliged by the
law to become more accessible; D: not the audience reason why theatre
interpreters are common).
ticketsdirector
Repeat this procedure for the next question or two, then ask ss to continue on
their own for the remaining questions. ss check their answers in pairs before
class feedback. For each question focus particularly on the evidence in the
text.
Answer Key

This wilt help ss revise
vocabulary related to theatre.
a.
Ask ss to look at the
poster. Elicit what is advertised (a performance for-the deaf) and if ss have
attended one. Ask ss why deaf people might not normally go to the theatre, and
how a performance specially for the deaf might be different.
b.
Elicit answers from the
whole class. If necessary, explain
'sign language' and
'interpreters'.
Suggested Answer Key
The text will be about the
work ofsign language interpreters, who probably help deaf people understand and
enjoy the theatre by using sign language (Sign language is movements ofyour
hands and arms used to communicate. The deaf have got their own 'official' sign
language to communicate.)
c.
Write some of ss'
suggested questions on the board, then ask ss to scan the text to see if their
questions are answered there. Check ss' answers and help ss with vocabulary if
necessary. Then elicit further basic information from the text that has not
been covered by ss' questions. (e.g. where the interpreters are during the
performance in relation to the actors — the three styles: 'placed', where they
are away from the actors and don't move, 'zoned', where they are on stage and
move a bit, and 'shadowed', where they follow the actors around. Make sure ss
understand the word 'shadow' s)
Suggested Answer Key

Do theatre
interpreters have a lot of work? (not many performances, but a lot of work for
each one, especially musicals)

Do they need
special training or qualifications? (not stated, but probably, as they are
professionals)

What do they
actually do during the performance? (they stand somewhere where the audience
can see them and use sign language to show what is being said)

Ask ss to read the rubric and
check they understand the task. Go through the strategy box with the ss.
Demonstrate the strategy by going through the first two or three questions with

key words (theatre interpreters; become commonplace because), then find the  relevant part of the text (paragraph
I) and read carefully. ss look at the choices and underline the key words (A
avoiding B: wanted to become more accessible C: a new law compulsory D: attract
audiences). Point out, however, that ss must pay attention to the whole meaning

4       B lines 42-50 ' 'placed', where
interpreters do not move; 'zoned' where interpreters move only during a change
of scene or act; 'shadowed', where interpreters move freely

A DearKaren,
Thanks for your letter. I was really sorry to hear you're so unhappy at
the moment and thought rd drop you a line to Cheeryou up and pass on some
friendly advice.
First of all, it seems to he that both your
problems are closely linked. Because you feel lonely at school you are unhappy at home. Why not join the
school sports team? I know you're fond of sports so that would be an ideal
opportunity to make new friends with people your age. And have you ever thought
about joining an after-school club? I did that when we first moved to the city
and believe me it works!
Now, as for the situation at home, I really
think you should talk to your parents. Just explain how you feel; you'll be surprised how understanding theft/ be.
As the situation is now they can only guess at why you're so sulky all day and
they certainly cant help! Trust me, it will clear up the tension and they'll
probably have some useful tips too!
If you
follow my advice, I'm sure you'll feel much better soon. Anway let me know how
it goes.
Lots oflove, Cynthia
B Dear Lee,
Thanks
for your letter! It was great to hear all your news. Since we last spoke [ve
been really busy too.
First of all, I finally got my drivers licence! You cant imagine how
relieved I was after failing four times! I'm now working overtime to save up
for my own car. Remember I was thinking about starting Spanish classes? Well, I
finally decided to enrol in a language school in my area with lessons on
Saturday. I'm really enjoying it but as you can imagine there hardly any
free time left!
Fortunately, its already May and I've got my summer holiday to
look forward to. On I st June I'm flying to Ibiza fot a week and I'll probably hire ajeep
there. I know it's rather short notice, but would you care to join tne? Iffll
be great fun! After my holiday I'll be very busy with some conferences I have
to organise for work Then, in December {Il have my Spanish exam, so Ill really
need to study hard after the summer!
Well, so much for my news. Don't
forget to let me know if you canjoin me on Ibiza. Lots oflove,
C DearMr and
Mrs Whitman,
Thank
you very much for your letter. Since I left England a lot has
happened.
To begin with, I have been very busy With my studies. NOW that I am in
the last year of unwersity, we seem to have one exam after another.
Fortunately, I only have one more month to go and then it will all be over!
After the summer I will start looking for a job and hopefully I will soon be
working as a psychologist. Furthermore, I am still fond of horse riding and have also been busy with that. Next
year I even hope to take part in competitions.
My
month in England with you really seems to have improved my English. According
to my Scottish penfriend I now make hardly any mistakes in grammar. I have also
found it very helpful with all the books in English I had to read for my
studies! Once again I would like to say how grateful I am for your
kindness and hospitality.
Thank you once again for your letter. I am looking
foward to hearing from
you again. Give my regards to Lucy. Best wishes,

outlook your relations with others and the choices you make  be an
optimist  learn from-other people

b.    Allow ss two or three minutes to read
the text quickly (not including paragraphs A-I) and check their answers.
c.     Explain the task and go through the
strategy point. Explain that ss need to follow this advice in order to complete
the task successfully. Ask ss to read the paragraphs (A-I). For each one, check
that ss understand the main point. Then ask ss to read carefully the first and
second paragraphs of the text, and try to decide why G is the correct answer.
(G contains the reference words 'In the past', which contrast with 'these days'
in the next paragraph and shows the passage of time. It also contains the word
'now', which relates to 'these days'. That particular group' in the next
paragraph refers back to 'the younger generation' in paragraph G. Also 'feel
comfortable talking openly' in the next paragraph contrasts with 'rarely discussed'
in paragraph G.) Then ask ss to reread carefully the paragraphs before and
after gap I and ask them to think what information is missing and then find
which paragraph fits best. Check the answer (F) and why it fits, eliciting the
connecting words, phrases and ideas. Continue in this way for one or two more
gaps. Then ss complete the rest of the task individually. Check ss' answers,
for each one eliciting the reasons why it fits.
Answer Key
I F
Connecting words, phrases
and ideas:
 In paragraph F, 'nowadays' refers back to These days' in the paragraph
before gap 1. In the paragraph aftergap 1, 'She' refers back to 'Janet' in F,
and 'slowly achieve contentment when she realised her attitude was changing'
refers back to 'slowly found that changing her outlook has brought her
happiness' in F.
2       In paragraph B, 'She was, at one
point, a definite pessimist' continues the description of Janet before she
changed in the paragraph before gap 2, and refers back to 'she criticised
herself endlessly, certain that she did not deserve success and happiness.' In
paragraph B, 'she came to the realisation that ...'t and this idea is continued
in the paragraph after gap 2, with 'The turning point in her life was when
3       In paragraph 'Change' refers back to
Change many aspects of her life' in the paragraph before gap 3. In the paragraph after gap 3, 'Ifwe do decide to change things,
however ' makes a contrast with 'Most of us have a tendency to stay with what
we know rather than choosing any form ofchange :in paragraph A
4       In paragraph E, 'these findings'
refers back to What she understood from her research was that in the paragraph
before gap 4. In the paragraph after gap 4, 'how we feel about an event' refers
back to 'the way we view it leads to happiness or unhappiness' in paragraph E.
5       In paragraph C, 'moments ofboth
happiness and unhappiness' refers back to 'how we feel about an event' in the
paragraph before gap 5. 'Janet herself.' makes the transition from generalisation
in the paragraph before gap 5 to Janet's personal experience in paragraph C. In
the paragraph after gap 5, 'that same level of contentment' refers back to
'being a contented individual' in paragraph C.

3
4
5
6       In paragraph H, 'however, happiness is
not a goal ' makes a contrast with ' as long as we really want to succeed in
the paragraph before gap 6. In the paragraph after gap 6, 'further advice'
follows on from 'advise people that ' and the advice given in paragraph H.
7       In paragraph D, the negative
consequences of 'thinking and worrying about the past and anxiously planning
the future' fit in with the advice given in the paragraph before gap 7 to
'focus on the present'.
a.    Allow ss two or three minutes to read
the article again. ss then explain the words in bold by giving examples or
synonyms. ss can look up the words in their dictionaries.
Suggested
Answer Key desire: wish achieve: get openly: freely contentment: happiness
vulnerable: defenceless outlook: viewpoint upbringings: the way one was brought up criticise: put
down, complain about demand: ask focus: concentrate deserve: earn, be worthy
b.    Explain the task. ss work in pairs and

Elicit answers around the class.
Answer Key comfortable:

sad: unhappy - sadness valuable: important - value
Explain the task. ss work

Check ss' answers around the class.
Suggested Answer Key
1       surround us/come at us from every
angle
2       acknowledge the truth
3       takea course ofaction that we decide
4       interpret things in our own way
Allow ss time to read the
text again and ask them to make notes about three of the writer's main points.
When ss have prepared their answers, ask them to work in pairs and discuss
them. Monitor ss' performance around the class. Choose some pairs to discuss
the points in front of the class.
Suggested Answer Key
A: The
writer suggests that we cannot be happy in life until we decide to stop being
unhappy.
B: Yes,
she believes that happiness comes when we change our outlook and attitude to
life and concentrate on the present rather than the past or the future.
 That's right. She also states •that the way we interpret what happens to
us can make a huge difference to how we feel. I think she makes a number
ofvalid points and everyone can be happy if they always look on the bright side
of things.

film. How aboutyou?
B: I

bag, then I feel much better. Would you say you are an optimist or a pessimist?
A: I

can happen rather than the best thing. What about you?
B:
lam more of an optimist because I always tell myself that no matter what
happens I still have my family and my friends who can help and support me.

D      Dear Sir/Madam,
I
am writing to
express my complete dissatisfaction with the gift I recently ordered from your
company.
Firstly,
the figure was damaged and had a crack in it. What is more, the message
engraved on the figure was not the one I had chosen. Therefore, it was totally
unsuitable to give as a gift.
To make
matters worse, the item was delivered three weeks after the date I had placed
the order and not within ten days as advertised. As a result, it arrived long
after the occasion for which I purchased it.
As you
can imagine I am very disappointed. I insist on a full refund and an apology
for the inconvenience caused. I await your prompt reply. Yours faithfully,

E Dear Sam,
Hi. How
are you? Thanks for your letter. I was glad to hear you are thinking of taking
up tennis and herds the advice you asked for.
Firstly,
ifI wereyou, I would see if there is a local tennis club in your area and
become a member. Alternatively, perhaps you know someone who can give you some
free tuition? Have you thought about seeing if the local library has a useful
'how-to' guide? This would help you get started.
Next,
you dont have to wow about a tennis outfit. Your ordinary trainers and a
tracksuit will do. As for equipment, a tennis racquet and a few balls will be
enough. You should stick to a budget of no more than £75 in case you
change your mind later.
Well, I
hope my advice will be of some help to you. Write back and let me know how you
get on. Love,

F DearJane,
Thanks
foryour letter. I have thought about whatyou said and I've got some information
and ideas for you to think about.
First
of all, I think Anne is right. I think that it would be a long trip and we
would get very tired. Instead, why don't we just cycle round Lake Windermere as
you suggest? There are lots ofinteresting sights we can see and places we can
go such as the castle, Wordsworth House, the Steamboat Centre and the Beatrix
Potter Museum.
As for
where to stay, the Queens Hotel has reasonably priced rooms. It is also
conveniently located near the lake and would make a great starting point for
our trip. It even offers home-cooked meals, and I think it would be a good idea
to stay there.
Well, I
cant wait to hear from you so we can make all the arrangements. Talktoyou soon.
Love,

about traditional jobs in their country and prepare a poster for the class.
Alternatively, they can find the similarities and differences between these

Suggested Answer Key
Butler
Shaun Harrison mentions
that he needs to be polite, respectful and well-organised. I strongly agree
that these are necessary qualities for a butler.
Steeplejack
Mark Thompson says
that in order to be a steeplejacka person should have a head for heights, be
strong and quite fearless. I agree, and I would add that a steeplejack also
needs to be careful and cautious, because it is dangerous to work at such a
great height.
Town Crier
Peter Moore states that he
has a booming voice and this is certainly a necessary quality for a town crier.
Furthermore, I believe that a town crier needs to be an extrovert and sociable.
Milkman
Rick Booth says that a
milkman needs to be in good shape to do his job. I agree because it's physical
work and it involves a lot Of heavy lifting.
Chimney Sweep
Ted Cox mentions that in
order to be a good sweep, you have to be a good listener. I quite agree with
this because he works in people's homes and there is a social aspect to his
job. I would also say that you need to be careful to do thejob properly.
Yeoman of the
Guard/Beefeater
Miles Reed Says that
Beefeaters have to be on their guard at all times for bomb scares and robbery
attempts, and I strongly agree. He also mentions that he enjoys meeting people
from all over the world, so being sociable is also important.

Suggested
  Answer Key
 A: I think some of these jobs are
  in danger of disappearing because times have changed.
B: Thatg true. In the modern world there isn't really any
  necessity for the role of town crier in my opinion, don't you think so?
A: I agree. However, I believe that jobs like the
  steeplejack and butler are still relevant today because a need exists for them.
A: In my country a traditional job which is in danger
  of disappearing is that of a grocer in a small grocery shop. This is because
  big supermarket chains offer customers products at a much cheaper price.
B: I agree. As small grocery shops can't afford competitive
  prices, people prefer to do their shopping in supermarkets.

Suggested Answer Key
A     To: Mr Johnson
From: Jane
Smith Subject: Increasing Profitability Date: 1st September 20..
Introduction
The purpose of this report
is to make suggestions regarding ways of increasing the profitability of Elle
Clothing. Advertising
Firstly; one
suggestion would be to start an advertising campaign. Byputting an
advertisement in the local newspaper or on the local radio we could attract
more customers to the shop and so increase sales.
Merchandising
Secondly, I
think it would be helpful to change the displays within the shop. In this way
we could present the merchandise in a way which is more appealing to customers
and attract more passing trade. Special Offers
Finally, we
could introduce a number of special offers such as discounts for students or
'buy one get one free' promotions. By doing this, we could attract more
shoppers to the store. Conclusion
To sum up, I
believe that if we follow some of the suggestions presented in this repom, we
will be able to attract more customers and so increase sales and the shop's
profitability.
    B          Sir/Madam,
I am
writing in response to your advertisement in the Daily News on 18th January for
the part-time position in your Accounts Department for which I would like to be
considered.
I am a
seventeen-year-Old student currently studying for my 'A' levels at Lofton
College. I plan to follow a career in Accounting and so this would be a perfect
opportunity for me to gain some valuable experience.
I have
some previous experience of office work gained while working as an Office
Assistant for Blackwells Solicitors last summer My duties included filing,
answering the telephone and some typing.
I
believe J am a hardworking and sensible person. I am also honest and reliable
and can be trusted to act responsibly and maturely.
I hope
you will consider my application. I look forward to hearing from you in due
course. Yours faithfully,
Rachel Brown

Suggested
  Answer Key
A The room in picture A looks very stylish because of
  the hammock and the wooden walls. It also has character.
8: Yes, you're right. It looks quite rustic, too as all the
  furniture is made of natural materials and it is light and airy because of
  all the tall windows.
A: The room in picture B
  looks very cosy and lived-in, dont you think?
B: Yes, it looks very comfortable, but it is rather
  traditional with all those ornaments and the draped curtains.
A I
  agree. It's not very spacious with all that furniture.

think the room in picture B belongs to someone traditional and sensitive,
  as there are a lot of soft furnishings. This person likes to feel comfortable
  and protected and to be surrounded by beautiful objects.
The room in picture C probably belongs to someone who is straightforward
  and who has simple tastes. It is very modern and bare, so I think it belongs
  to someone very fashionable and wellorganised.

Suggested
  Answer Key
Even though you may look for something elsewhere, you will find whatever
  you need, in the place where you live.
Your home should contain things that excite, interest
  and entertain you, as well as food and warmth.
A house is not a home unless it is filled with love.
agree with the third saying the most. A home should
  be a place where you feel happy and safe because you are surrounded by people
  who love you. What about you? To me, the first saying is the one I agree with
  most.

Suggested
  Answer Key
I think the couple decided to live underground because they wanted to
  have an unusual home and also because they wanted to help the environment.
c.
  Explain the task and
  read out the prompts and explain any unknown vocabulary. Ask two ss to read
  out the example. ss work in pairs and complete the task. Ask some pairs to
  report back to the class. Then, tell ss to read the text quickly, ignoring
  the numbered gaps, to find out what advantages and disadvantages of living
  underground are mentioned.
Suggested
  Answer Key
A: Living underground would probably reduce building costs, as you would
  simply dig out earth to make a room instead of buying thousands ofbricks to
  build walls.
B: Hmm. That's true, but I think it must be a bit cramped
  living underground and you might not have much contact with your neighbours,
  too.
A: You Ve got a point there. I don't think you would
  have any nice views either because there wouldn't be any windows. However, I
  think living underground would cut maintenance bills and heating bills, as
  the earth surrounding your home would keep it warm and stop draughts from
  coming in.
B: Yes. It would probably be quite safe, too, as your home
  would be protected from bad weather.

environment.
5 Explain
the task. ss work in pairs and make a list of all the points for and against
living underground which were mentioned in the text. Ask various ss to present
different pros and cons to the class.
Answer Key
Advantages: space-saving,
money is saved on energy and maintenance bills; significantly reduced heating
bills, free from most forms of noise; low fire risk; reduced need for
artificial light; naturally protected from wind and draughts, greater security,
building will last 500 years, compatible with new conservationist methods,
keeps agricultural land green
Disadvantages: hard to get
planning permission, difficult to cope psychologically; building costs can be
higher when a lot of excavation is needed
Suggested Answer Key
A: TO
me, living underground has many advantages. Firstly, it saves a lot of space
and it doesn't spoil the landscape. Secondly, it can be much cheaper, as you
save money on maintenance and heating bills by installing solar power and glass
roofs. They are quiet too, don't you think so?
B:
lagree. They also have a low fire risk, are not draughty and are very secure.
Also, most importantly, living underground helps to protect the environment.
A:
That's true. However, there are a few disadvantages to living underground. It
can be hard to get planning permission and the building costs may be high if a
lot of excavation work has to be done.
B:
You are right. Also, some people find it difficult to cope psychologically with
living underground

we should also recycle our household waste. Glass, paper, plastic and metal can
all be recycled and used to make new products. This means that we will not
destroy our planet any In further by using up its resources.

the plants or wash the car.

insulating our homes will stop heat and energy escaping. This means that we
will use less energy to heat our homes, as the insulation will keep the heat
inside our houses.

Suggested Answer Key
 A: I think that earth-sheltered houses could be the homes of the future,
as they are a great way to preserve the environment and have an unusual and
cosy home.
B:
Hmm. I'm not sure that I agree. Underground homes can be quite expensive to
build, so not many people would be able to afford them.
 Yes, but they can be much cheaper to live in, as heating and electricity
bills would be much cheaper.
B:
That's true, but what about the psychological difficulties some people have
with living underground?
A: Well, underground homes
do not have to be too deep underground, and they can have large windows and
lots ofnatural light from glass roofs. B: Maybe you're right.
 I think that in the future, people will have houses with solar panels
all over the roofin order to provide electricity for their home.
B: Yes, I thinkyou are right. There
are already some houses like this. Also, people might have houses made
ofspecial glass which will allow a lot ofnatural light into their homes.
A: Maybe.
I think some people will have houses under the sea, in sea cities, as there
won't be any space left to build on on land.
B That would be very
exciting.

ModelA is
an unsuitable answer for the rubric in Ex. 9 because: the title is unsuitable -
the title is too long and is not catchy the introduction does not catch the
reader's attention - it is too general and does not refer to the specific
problem and it does not address the reader directly the writer does not follow
the instructions in the rubric - it does not make clear suggestions or give the
expected results for how to raise money, only on how to spend money the style
is not appropriate for the target reader - it is formal in some paragraphs and
informal in others the writer does not paraphrase the rubric - 'lack of funds'
and The youth leader has asked the club members to write an article suggesting

A Dear Susie,
Thanks
for your letter. Iffs great to hear that you and your cousin are coming to my
country. I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time and I have a few suggestions
that I hope you'll like.
There
is plenty to see and do in England. I thinkyou should definitely go to London,
as its the capital city and is full of exciting places to visit.
IfI
were you, I'd visit the Tower ofLondon. Then, you could learn about English
history. Another suggestion is to go to Madame Tussaudß and see all the
wax figures. This would mean that you could have a wonderful time and feel as
ifyou are meeting lots of famous people! Why not visit the West End and see a
musical? Then you could learn something about English culture and practise the
language.
whatever you do in
England, you'll have a brilliant holiday.
Write and tell me all

B Lets make it better
As most of you know, the
old college snack bar is about to be replaced with a bigger and better
self-service cafeteria. Will this mean that we will finally have somewhere
comfortable and appealing to eat? I think that if the college follows the
suggestions below, the new' cafeteria will be a huge success.
First ofall, I think that
it is important to include vegetarian and low-fat options in the new menu. In
this way, it would cater for the large number of students with special diets.
In addition,
perhaps the college could invest in more comfortable seats for the cafeteria
The seats we have at present are hard and uncomfortable. If new seats are
bought, the cafeteria will be a comfortable place to spend lunch breaks.
Another
suggestion is to play modern music to make the atmosphere lively and inviting
to students. As a result, more students would visit the cafeteria.
Its about time
we students had an eating place we enjoyed spending time in. Let's hope the new
self-service cafeteria is everything weve dreamed of!
C Dear Mrs Jones,
Thank
you so much for the list of possible places to visit during our trip to London,
which includes a wide range of interesting sights to choose from. If I may, I
have one or two suggestions as to which places I think would be worth visiting
during our trip.
Firstly,
I recommend visiting the Tower of London and Madame Tussaud's as they would
definitely be interesting places to visit. I feel sure that we would have a lot
Offun there.
Secondly,
I suggest that we do not go to Buckingham Palace or Westminster Abbey as I
believe they would take a lot of time to look around. This way we would have
more time to do other activities.
Finally,
I think it would be a good idea to visit some shops, especially Harrods. In
this way, we will have the chance to visit a famous department store anð
buy some souvenirs and gifts.
Thank
you for considering my suggestions. I am sure we will have a very enjoyable
time and are all looking forward to the trip. Yours sincerely,
Jane Cox
D We
are all aware that our foreign exchange students will be arriving next month
and we are all looking forward to entertaining them. The question is: what are
they going to do during their free time in our neighbourhood? I believe that
the suggestions below will give us all some good ideas.
First of all, I think it
would be a good idea for our foreign exchange students to take a walk in the
forest. This would mean that they would have the opportunity to see the beauty
ofthe English countryside.
Another suggestion would
be to advise our exchange students to visit the local shops and cafes. In this
way, they would be able to buy souvenirs or gifts, practise English by shopping
and ordering food and they would also have the chance to sample English
cuisine.

Finally, I suggest that our exchange

From: Katy Brown
Subject: Places ofinterest
for the students to visit
Date: 12th March 200
Introduction
The purpose of this report
is to make suggestions for places which students may be interested in visiting
during their stay next week.
Durris Castle
This is an eighteenth-century
castle, built on top of a hill and surrounded by forests. There are lots of
interesting things to see there such as the dungeons and the gardens. Entrance
fee for castle and gardens: £2 (with student card).
Pengillen Shopping Centre
This is well worth a
visit. As well as having a large variety ofshops, there3 a lovely café with
delicious cakes and a wonderful view. There are three craft shops selling
locally produced arts and crafts. These would make great souvenirs and presents
to take back home.
Trelawney Cove
This is a beautiful beach
with white sand. It is very safe for swimming. It is usually not crowded,
except at weekends. A wide range of water sports are available such as
windsurfing and waterskiing.
Roscommon Leisure Centre
This indoor leisure centre
is climate controlled and has a number of different swimming pools and eating
places. There are water slides, wave machines and a games arcade. A perfect
place to visit when the weather is bad.
Harris Museum and Art
Gallery
The museum has a number of
interesting exhibits related to the history of the area and even has a replica
of an Iron Age village which visitors can walk around. There is currently a
modern art exhibition in the gallery and there is also a tea room and museum shop.
Entrance is £3.50 for students.
Conclusion
Overall, I believe that
the places ofinterest suggested in this report offer a wide variety of
activities and experiences that visiting students will enjoy during their stay.

Unit 5 —
Modern Living

Lead-in (p. 83)
 a. Ask ss to look at the pictures and
elicit what each person is doing and how these activities are related to the
title. Teach vocabulary items as required.
Suggested Answer Key
The pictures show
different aspects of modern living such as: beauty treatments, skateboarding,
shopping, fast food restaurants, the Internet, phones and credit cards.
b. Go
through the list, explaöning vocabulary if necessary, and ask ss to say
which of the trends and fads are related to the pictures.
Answer Key fast food
restaurants, keeping fit, shopping centres, designer labels, chain stores,
beauty treatments, credit cards, text messaging, junk mail
2 a.
ss work in pairs and put the trends and fads from the list in Ex. 1b under the
correct headings. Check ss' answers. Then ask ss to make sentences about how
popular each trend/fad is in their country.
Suggested Answer Key
I would say that text
messaging is particularly popular in my country. It is a cheap way ofkeeping in
touch with friends.
I think that soap operas
are rather unpopular nowadays. They used to catch the publics attention but I
dont think they do anymore.
Muzak is more or less
unknown in my country. As far as I know, it is functional music with soothing
qualities.
b. Go
through the useful language box. ss work in pairs and use the useful language
box to complete the task. Monitor ss' performance around the class, then ask
some pairs to report back to the class.
Suggested Answer Key
 What do you think oftext messaging?

B:

I kind of like text messaging. What I like most about it is the fact
    that you can communicate quickly and cheaply with your friends.

A:

How do you feel about celebrity gossip?

B:

Ijust cant stand it.

A:

What is your opinion ofdesigner labels?

B:

I don't really have an opinion on them, I'm afraid.

3Explain
the task. Play the cassette twice if necessary. ss listen and complete the
task. Check ss' answers. Ask them to identify what helped them. Also elicit
whether the speakers like or dislike what they are talking about and why.
Suggested Answer Key
A Fast food
restaurants B Budget airlines
C Graffiti
4
Help ss explain what the
quotations mean. ss work in pairs

to express their opinions.
Check ss' answers around the class.
Suggested Answer Key
You won't get
any respect from anyone if you are not fashionable.
k Istronglydisagree with the first statement. It suggests that you are
insignificant if you are not fashionable in your clothes and ideas.
B: That's right. There is more to life than fashion and people should not
judge a person's worth as a human being based on what they wear or think.
Fashion
changes all the time but classical ideas and practices remain.
A: Well, I agree with this statement on the whole because it is
established practices and ideas that remain. Some new ideas become established
after a while but many do not.
B: ThatS very true. I think that what is a new idea one year will often
be an old fashioned one the next.
5
Ask ss to look at the
trends and fads in Ex. 1b. Explain the task. Allow ss two minutes to prepare
their answers. Check ss' answers around the class.
Suggested Answer Key
In my view,
the use ofcredit cards would be the thing a person from the previous century
would find the most difficult to get used to because of the technological
development involved. Plastic money, ATMS, shopping through the Internet, or
even over the phone, are all things a person from the previous century would
find hard to get used to.

full sentences using appropriate language.
e.g. The majority of the students questioned like watching films. etc
b. Read out the questions and elicit answers from various ss around the
class.
Suggested Answer Key
There are a
couple of reality shows that I am familiar with in my country: Fame Academy and
Big Brother. I find them both interesting and entertaining. I enjoy the idea of
watching a variety of personalities dealing with everyday activities. In this
way, you can explore peoples characters and attitudes.
2 a. Read out the question and elicit answers from various ss. ss read
the first paragraph of the article and check their answers.
Suggested Answer Key

children
ss then look
at the completed text about Japanese women and the notes on the board and in
pairs do the task. Check ss' performance, then ask some pairs to report back to
the class.
(ss'own answers)
a.    Divide the class into pairs and each
pair into ss A and B. Ask all ss to look at the pictures and elicit/provide key
vocabulary items (e.g. newsreaders, studio, game show, presenter etc). Remind
ss that SAS must talk about similarities and differences between the pictures,
not just describe them (elicit-language for comparing and contrasting; if
necessary refer ss back to in Unit I p. 13) and also answer the second part of
the question. Then SAS complete the speaking task. SBS listen to their partner
and keep time, making sure SAS talk for about one minute uninterrupted. Go
around the class and monitor ss' performance, then ask individual ss to report
back to the class.
Suggested Answer Key
StudentA: The
firstpicture shows a news programme, whereas the second picture is a game show.
There are two newsreaders, a man and a woman, sitting behind a desk in a
television studio, looking quite serious, but there is only one game show
presenter, and he is smiling enthusiastically. The newsreaders are looking at
the papers on the desk, probably putting them in order for the programme, but
the game show presenter is holding up a big bundle of money, probably to show
the contestants what they could win. One similarity is that all the presenters
are formally dressed in suits. I think news programmes are more popular with
young people because they watch them to find out what's going on in the world. In
my opinion, game shows are family entertainment programmes, and are probably
more popular with older people.
b.    Read out the question and elicit
answers from SBS around the class.
Suggested Answer Key
Student B: I
prefer to watch the second programme as I love game shows. I enjoy trying to
answer the questions before the contestants. I think shows like this are good
for expanding your general knowledge, so watching them is not a complete waste
of time.

Answer Key

c.    Ask ss to look at the pictures and
help them with vocabulary if necessary. Remind ss that SBS must talk about
similarities and differences between the pictures, not just describe them. ss
work in the same pairs; SBS are allowed about one minute to complete the
speaking task, while SAS listen and keep time. Go around the class and monitor
ss' performance, then ask individual ss to report back to the class.
Suggested Answer Key
Student B: The first
picture shows a business woman in an office whereas the second woman is sitting
on the steps outside a house in the country. The first woman is Sitting behind
a desk holding a telephone to her ear and looking at a man opposite her. She
seems very busy and stressed whereas the woman in the second picture seems very
relaxed. The second woman is casually dressed in jeans and a casual top whereas
the businesswoman is formally dressed in a suit. Both women are about the same
age but they obviously lead very different lives. I think the second woman; way
of life would be more satisfying because it seems slow and relaxed; the

Suggested Answer Key
1       There are certain arguments in favour
of advertising. To begin with, advertising creates jobs. As a result, the unemployment
problem is reduced, which is an important advantage for a countrys economy.
Another point in favour is

that it increases the
wealth of a country, since tax paid on goods can be used for essential services
in society.

2       However, some people feel that
advertising also has its drawbacks. The main disadvantage is that advertising
can make people dissatisfied with what they already have. In particular,
children of poorer parents feel inferior when they cannot buy the same things
as their classmates. Moreover, advertising causes people to place too much
importance on material goods. For instance, many people are willing to work long
hours so they can afford the goods on offer.

 Firstly, the tickets are a lot cheaper than other airline companies. As
a result, more people are able to travel abroad.
2      The most important disadvantage is
that it is frustrating and time-consuming. For example, you waste a lot of time
sifting through the mail and you may overlook an important letter or bill as a
result.
3      To begin with, it is one of the main
reasons behind the problem of obesity in modern society. Many people are more
likely to buy fast food than to eata healthy lunch these days because it is so
convenient.

As anyone with a

everyday life. However, are they our flexible friends or an enemy in disguise?
Ending:
To sum up, I believe that
the responsibility for the use or misuse ofa credit card lies in our hands. We

Dear Ken,
Hi - how
have you been? Heres the information yu asked for (language too
formal/wrong verb) about the hotel foryour uncle. I found (wrong tense)
one, the Westin Hotel, but there are some good and badpoints.
One of
the main advantages QC (wrong preposition) this hotel is that
(unnecessary word) it is comfortable and luxurious. EQL example (wrong linking
word), there's a swimming pool and a sauna. Another point in favour Qf (wrong
preposition) this hotel is that they have good-gices (unnecessary word). T.hece$
(wrong tense) even a special discount in (punctuation problem) and May
(punctuation problem).
However,
this hotel also has some drawbacks. The main point against it (unnecessary
word) is that the location is rather out of the way. As a result, your uncle
will have (wrong tense) to walk about fifteen minutes to the nearest bus
station. Another disadvantage is  (missing word) difficult to find rooms,
so your uncle will have to book early.
All in
all, bowgygt (wrong linking word), [think (language too formal) the
Westin Hotel is a good choice, and you can safely recommend it to your uncle.
Inform him that he can ÞQQk (unnecessary word) directly (see
number at the bottom), or ifyou want me to do it just let me know. ( can't
wait to hear (language too formal) from you again.

Suggested Answer Key
A     It seems that everywhere we go
nowadays we will hear the beeping sound of someone's mobile phone. Along With
the Internet, emails and credit cards, mobile phones have become a central part
of modern life. But are they a benefit or a nuisance?
There is no doubt that
mobile phones have their advantages. To start with, they are very useful in an
emergency. We can contact people from wherever we are and be contacted
ourselves. In addition, they are a veo• fast means of communication. For
example, text messaging is simple and quick
However,
there are also a number ofdisadvantages. The main  disadvantage is that they can be
dangerous. For example, using a mobile phone while driving is extremely
hazardous and can cause an accident. To add to that, mobiles can be costly. Call charges for calling
another mobile or a long distance number are high.
All in all, in the right
hands mobile phones are a welcome practical means ofcommunication. Ifwe use
them responsibly and respectfully, mobile phones are a useful tool for modern
living.
B      Health and fitness go hand in hand and
every town and city has gyms, health clubs and sports centres available for
people to use. Nevertheless, does keeping fit have more benefits than pitfalls
in today's society?
One point of view in
favour of keeping fit is that it helps maintain a balanced weight. This is
important because being overweight can cause many health problems such as high
blood pressure and stress on thejoints. What is more, keeping fit means that
you will be able to do more activities easily. For example, people who are
unfit get tired and out of breath doing simple things. Fjnajjy, a good overall
level of fitness helps to maintain a healthy body as exercise is good for the
heart and lungs.
Nevertheless, there are
also some disadvantages. One disadvantage is that keeping fit can be expensive.
Memberships to gyms and health clubs often cost a lot of money. Another disadvantage
is that it is often difficult to fit exercise into our hectic lifestyles. Our
daily schedules are often so busy that we don't have the time to exercise
regularly
All things considered,
some moderate exercise every day has a great number of benefits. How and when
we exercise is up to us, but keeping fit is essential for good health.
C      Dear Hilda,
Thanks
for your letter. I was very happy to hear that you are thinking of studying
here. I have all the information you asked for.
University
students living in my city have a number of advantages. In the first place,
there are lots of great facilities for students. For example, there is a
fantastic sports centre with special discounts for students as well as an
Internet cafe. Also, the social life for students here is great. There are a number
of international students at the university, so you will have the opportunity
to meet people from all over the world.

On the other hand, there are a
couple of drawbacks. The main one is that life can be quite expensive. Student
accommodation is costly as the rents are quite high. Also, there is lots of
traffic. The roads are very busy and it can be gaite noisy, especially around
the campus because it is on a main road.
Overall,
I think you will have a great time here at university. It is a great place to
live. If there is anything else you would like to know, just drop mea line.
Take care. Love,
Gillian

However,
the crowds are probably there because there is a certain time when it is best
to visit a place. Perhaps when the crowds have gone home, the weather will be
bad, or the attractions will have closed for the season.
2       I agree, as I myselfprefer to travel
independently and make all my own arrangements rather than go on a package
holiday. This gives me the freedom to go wherever I like, whenever I like and
not rely on organised tours and visits to certain sights.
However, for some people,
particularly those who are traveling with young it may be easier to have everything
arranged for you, as this means that you have less to worry about and you can
relax and enjoy your holiday, knowing that the children will have plenty to do.
3       I disagree as I think that it is
important for young children to see as much of the world as possible, so that
they grow up knowing that there is more to the world than the place where they
live. They need to learn that all people are not the same and life is different
in other parts of the world.
On the other hand, certain
kinds of food in other countries may not suit them and they could get sick Apart
from this, the weather might be too hot and young children can easily get
sunstroke. I don't think they are good travelers either, because they get bored
easily.

You're right. It definitely wouldn't fit in your suitcase! I wouldn't buy the

made ofplastic. It is not a very original souvenir, either.
B: Oh,
I don't know. It's not too bad. I definitely wouldn't buy the lamp. You can
find lamps like that in any antique shop so its not very unique and wouldn't
give me any special memories of my holiday.

THE
WORST HOTEL IN THE WORLD
John
was very excited as the boat neared the horbour. The sun wasjust setting in the
evening sky and the island looked beautiful in the twilight. He was really
looking forward to his holiday.
The
hotel didn't look very attractive from the outside, but he was confident that
although it was a bit basic, it would be comfortable and clean. He couldnt have
been farther from the truth. When he opened the door to his room, he couldn't
believe his eyes. There was no bed, just a mattress on the dirty floor. The
window was stuck so he couldnt open it and the bathroom was at the other end of
the corridorand, when he turned the tap, the water was a muddy brown colour. He
went to the front desk to complain, but it was deserted. As it was quite late,
he decided to stay the night and look for somewhere else the next day.
The
next morning, John left the hotel and walked into the town to find somewhere
else to stay. To his disappointment, everywhere was fully booked. Without a
second thought, he raced towards the harbour andjumped on the first boat out of
there. John breathed a huge sigh of relief as the boat carried him away from
the island. He was far, far away at last.

WEIRD WELCOME
We
felt surprised as the train pulled into the empty station. My sister Susie and
I had travelled all day to come and stay with our uncle Peter for the weekend.
It had been a long journey
and
we were tired. "Where is he?" asked Susie. "Don't worn'. He'll
be here soon, I said, but I was a little worried. It wasn't like uncle Peter to
be late.
We
got off the train and looked around the station. There was definitely no sign
of uncle Peter. An hour later there was still no sign of him and now we were
both very anxious. "Maybe hes forgotten we're coming, " said Susie.
Why don't you call him?"I looked in my bag but my address book wasn't
there.
Just
then, I had an idea. I asked the clerk at the ticket Office to find the
telephone number for Peter Cooper in Fowler Street. "You must be Peter's
nieces!" exclaimed the clerk. "He's my neighbour! Hes told me about
your visit. But what are you doing here?" he continued We're waiting for
uncle Peter, of course," I replied. "Oh dear!" laughed the
clerk. 'You should be at Stanford West. This is Stanford East!" we quickly
took another train to Stanford East station. We laughed as we saw uncle Peters
worried face and ran across the platform to greet him. It was such a reliefto
be togetherat last!
c THE CAMPFIRE
I'll
never forget my first camping holiday The sun was shining brightly as we
arrived at the campsite and chose the best spot to pitch our tent. My family
and I were very excited to be spending a holiday in the great outdoors.
By the time we had put up our tent we were all very
hungry, so we decided to cook the first meal on our campfire. We quickly
gathered some dry wood and lit a fire.
Suddenly,
there was a loud crack and one of the sticks in the fire exploded. Sparks flew
everywhere and a burning ember flew up andlandedon our tent. The material
immediately caught fire and within seconds there were huge flames leaping up
from our tent.
Terrified,
we ron to fetch buckets ofwater and threw them over
the
tent. We were screaming so loudly that other campers ran to help us. Gradually,
the flames died down and the fire went out, but our tent was ruined.
After
we had checked into a hotel and eaten a delicious lunch, we all began to see
the funny side of our experience. That was the shortestcamping holiday
ever!"said Dad, and we all laughed.

Both
pictures show hobbies which can be done by anyone, but the people in the
pictures are both adults. Picture A shows a woman at home looking at her stamp
collection while picture B shows a man playing golf outdoors on O golf course.
I think it must take o long time to build up o stamp collection just as it must
also take some time to learn to play golf and to become good at it. It must be
rewarding to build up a large collection of stamps, especially ifyou have some
valuable ones. However, I think golf must be more rewarding because you would
have a greater feeling of satisfaction from developing your skill as a player;
especially ifyou enterand win competitions.

Picture
A shows a young girl who looks like a punk. She has spiky hair and she is
wearing a lot ofmake-up andjewellery. In contrast, picture B shows a
middle-aged man in simple and plain clothes with a hat. He looks like a farmer.
Both people have long hair and that is where the similarity ends. I think the
girl has chosen this style as a form of rebellion which is probably also
reflected in her music tastes and other aspects of her lifestyle. I think the
man's style, on the other hand, reflects his simple lifestyle and he has chosen
these clothes for practical reasons. I think they are work clothes and he wears
a hat to protect his head as he probably works outdoors.

I
dont think it is right, but / think it is natural. We usually form our opinions
about people within the first minute of meeting them. We should really take the
time to get to know a person before we judge them and sometimes we do and
change our initial impression ofpeople, but more often our first impression is
the lasting one. So, no, I don't think it is right, but I think it is human

He
stepped out of the shadows and walked towards me. It was a cold, dark night and
the moon was hidden behind the clouds. I had just returned home from a long day
at the office and I was about to put my key into the lock to open my door when
I saw the dark figure lurking in the shadows.

I
was frozen to the spot with fear. "What do you want?" managed to say
feebly, "You!" came the reply. I immediately flew into a panic and
frantically tried to open the door ana get inside quickly before he came any
closer.
Just then, I dropped my keys on the floor. I crouched
down to pick them up and suddenly the man was standing right next to me.
"Don't hurt me!" I screamed as he took hold of my arm to pull me up.
"WhatS the matter with you?" he asked in a voice that now sounded
quite familiar.
Later that night, I was able to laugh about how silly I
had been. I had forgotten that my cousin, Tom was coming for dinner and it was
him who was waiting for me in the shadows. We had a lovely dinner and I was
happy and relieved to see him, but I felt embarrassed about the event foc a

Our
history is what makes us the way we are.
I only agree with the first statement up to a point, as it
suggests that we are what our history has made us. I think that history plays a
part in forming our characters, but in the end, we are all responsible for our
own character and behaviour.

History
shows that we make the same mistakes over and over again.
I think that there is some truth in the second statement,
as it seems that we keep making the same mistakes again and again throughout
history. For example, ifwe really learnt from history, there would be no more
wars.

question and elicit answers from ss around the class.
(ss'
own answers)

a.
Divide the class into pairs and each pair into ss A and B. Ask all ss to look
at the pictures and elicit/provide key vocabulary items if necessary (e.g.
snake, exercise book whiteboard). Remind ss that SAS must talk about
similarities and differences between the pictures, not just describe them and
also answer the second part of the question. Then SAS complete the speaking
task. SBS listen to their partner and keep time, making sure SAS talk for about
one minute uninterrupted. Go around the class and monitor ss' performance, then
ask individual ss to report back to the class.
Suggested
Answer Key
Student A: Well, the first picture shows a man outdoors,
handling some sort of snake, while a boy is watching and listening and taking
notes on an exercise book. He might be asking the man questions about the
snake, and noting down the man's replies. The second picture is quite
different: there's a group of students sitting at their desks in the classroom
and a teacher standing in front of them. He seems to be explaining something to
them and is about to write something on the whiteboard. I'd say learning
through experience as in the first picture, is much more effective because ifs
more memorable and enjoyable too. We remember far more about things we've
actually experienced than when we're are just told about it in a classroom.
b. Read out the
question and elicit answers from SBS around the class.
Suggested
Answer Key
Student B: I don't think that difficult subjects such as
Economics or Medicine should be taught at school, as these are subjects which
should be learnt by adults, not children. Complicated and specialist subjects
should only be taught at university so that people can decide whether to study
them or not.
c. Ask ss to
look at the pictures and help them With vocabulary if necessary (eg. protest,
court house, banner, signs). Remind ss that SBS must talk about similarities
and differences between the pictures, not just describe them, and answer the
second part of the question. ss work in the same pairs; SBS are allowed about
one minute to complete the speaking task, while SAS listen and keep time. Go
around the class and monitor ss' performance, then ask individual ss to report
back to the class.
SuggestedAnswer Key
Student B: In the first picture we can
see a group ofpeople sitting on the steps of what looks like a court house or a
parliament building. They have got a large banner which says 'peace now. In the
second picture, on the other hand, there are two people standing on a street
corner holding signs which are protesting against circuses. I think that the
first kind ofprotest is more likely to be heard and to have some results, than
the second kind, as it is a protest on a much larger scale and is taking place
somewhere where a lot of people will be noticed, whereas the second kind
ofprotest only consists of two people trying to make their opinions heard.
d. Read out the question and elicit
answers from SAS around the class.
Suggested Answer Key
Student A: I have taken
part in a demonstration once before. It was a march to protest against the war
in Iraq. People all over the world were taking part in similar marches to show
that they disapproved ofthe war The marches were peaceful and were shown on
television in several different countries around the world. Unfortunately, the
war still went ahead, but at least the world leaders knew that thousands
ofpeople did not support their decision to go to wat

Explain the task.
Play the cassette. ss listen and make notes. Elicit answers from ss around the
class. Discuss ss' answers.
Suggested Answer Key
StudentA is a very good fluent speaker
who manages to say a lot in the time allowance with almost no hesitation, and
uses a wide range of language appropriately and accurately. Student B is also
good, but hesitates more and so doesn't manage to say quite so much, and uses a
more limited range of vocabulary. Both students respond well to the questions,
but Student AS response to the pictures is more personal.

task and read out the dialogues. Elicit answers from ss around the class.

Amelia Earhart was bðrn in 1897 in
Kansas, America. Her family traveled a great deal, so she often missed school,
but she was very bright academically. When she graduated from high school, she
became a nurse. She worked as a military nurse during the First World War.
After the war, she became a social worker in America and taught English to
immigrants. She went to air shows in her free time in the 1920s. She had a
10-minute plane ride at one of these shows and decided to learn to fly.
Amelia had flying lessons and bought her own
plane. In 1922, she started taking part in record-breaking stunts and organised
cross-country air races. She promoted flying for women. In 1928, she was first
woman ever to fly across the Atlantic, although she was only a passenger. She
married George Putman after this flight and they decided together that she
should make a solo flight across the Atlantic, which she did in 1932.
In 1937, Amelia took her final flight. After
flying from Miami to Australia, she and her plane disappeared mysteriously and
were never seen again.

George:
Hello, Amelia. IVe heard a lot about you. I'm George Putman.
Amelia:
Nice to meet you, George.
George:
Are you looking forward to the flight?
Amelia:
Of course I am, but I'd rather be the pilot than the passenger.
George:
Ha ha. Maybe you.will be able to make your own flight across the Atlantic one
day. Amelia: I certainly hope so.

George:
rve been thinking. Why don't you make a solo flight across the Atlantic? You
've always wanted to do that, and now would be the perfect time.
Amelia:
Yes, I think you're right. It's something rve been thinking about, too.
George:
You could fly from here to Britain and you would be the first woman to fly the
Atlantic solo.
Amelia:
I know. I'd be the first person to have flown across the Atlantic twice, too.
George:
You never know, you might even set a record for Amelia: fll certainly give it a
try!

Amelia:
Well, Fred, we've got a long way to go. I hope you feel ready for this trip!
Fred:
Ofcourse I'm ready! We're going to make history on this journey!
Amelia:
i know — I'm so excited. When we get to South
America,
we'll fly on to Africa and then to Thailand. Jt's going to be wonderful to see
so many fantastic places.

Fred: You're right. I

Read out the list of
adjectives, explaining the meaning of any unknown words. Elicit answers and
justifications from ss around the class.
Suggested Answer Key
I think that Amelia was
optimistic, as she carried out death defying feats and always believed that she
would survive. also think that she was stubborn, as very few women would have
persevered in becoming a pilot in those days. She must have been determined to
succeed in her chosen career, as she worked very hard to become a famous and
successful pilot. She was very daring, too, because she did many dangerous
tricks in her plane. I think that she was a bit rebellious, because she chose a
career which she knew would shock some people in those days.

Explain the task and
allow ss time to make notes. Then, ask individual ss around the class to talk
about two women who featured in their country's history.
(ss' own answers)
Examples from English history:
Elizabeth I was born in
1533. At that time, women were considered to be inferior to men, and nobody
thought that such a young woman would make a success ofbeing the ruler
ofEngland. Queen Elizabeth' advisors constantly tried to persuade her to marry
so that there would be a king in power, but she refused. She never married or
had children, but she was a strong and powerful monarch and improved the
country in many ways during her reign. She became known as Good Queen Bess. She
died in 1603 at seventy years ofage after a very successful forty-fouryear
reign.
Emmeline Pankhurst was
born on 14 July 1858 in Manchester, England. She helped found the WomenS
Franchise League in 1889 and she founded the Women 3 Social and Political Union
(WSPU) in Manchester in 1903. She campaigned strongly for womenS right to vote
and led the Suffragette movement. At that time, women were not allowed to vote
at all, as they were not considered to be knowledgeable about politics.
Emmeline Pankhurst died on 14 June 1928 in London, a few weeks after women were
granted the vote in Britain.

 Margaret didn't waste a moment. She rushed round the flat, gathering
together her few belongings, and then sat drinking coffee and watching the

Margaret had been full of hopes and expectations when she left the sleepy
village where She had been brought up. Things will be great in the city"
she had thought.
3      But things had started to go wrong
right from the start. The only flat she could afford was a cheap, filthy place
which was dark and unpleasant. She was also convinced there were rats; she
hadnt seen them, but at night she was sure she could hear them running around.
4      She had tried hard to find ajob, but
with no luck Everything she had heardabout the big city turned out to be wrong.
She had no friends, she lived in terrible conditions and she felt miserable.
5      Things got really bad when she
realised that she couldn't afford the rent. At first, the landlady was very
understanding. But soon, even she seemed to turn against Margaret. "If you
don't pay me by Friday, you'll have to leave"she had said.

One night, Margaret
was almost asleep when she heard a noise. "Who is it?" she shouted,
bur there nas no reply. In the darkness, she saw a figure trying to open her

A The UFO
Sam woke up with ajump. He looked around him and saw  that he was on the ground at the side
of the road, just a few metres from his car. Suddenly, he remembered what had
happened.
He had
been driving home from work late that evening when he had seen several bright
lights in the sky above the quiet country lane. He slowed down to get a better
look and suddenly an enormous spaceship landed on the road in front of him. The
door opened and three small, strange creatures came out,
The
creatures led Sam into their spaceship and closed the door. He tried to leave,
but he felt as though he could not move or speak. He felt the spaceship lift
off the ground and the creatures gathered round him. They stared into his eyes.
'They're trying to read my mind," he thought, and then everything went
black.
Sam
rubbed his eyes and stared at the lights of the spaceship as they rose up into
the air. He knew he could never tell anyone, because they would never believe
him.
B       The Marathon
Six
months of hard work had finally paid off. I cried tears of happiness as my
friends pushed a bottle of water into my hand and wrapped a blanket around my
shoulders. 'Well done!" they shouted.
Six
months earlier, I had learnt that my youth group had to close down. Our
clubhouse needed repairs but we couldnt afford them. I decided to find a way to
raise money. The group meant so much to the young people ofmy town.
I had
never been very fit and I hated sports, so my friends were shocked when I
announced that I was entering the London Marathon. "You'll never do
it!" they laughed. "l will," I promised.
I began
an exhausting training schedule. I went running before school every morning.
After school I went to the gym. I was very tired, but I was determined to get
fit.
When
the day arrived, I was nervous, but I paced myself. When I ron across the
finish line, it was the best feeling in the world. I raised enough money to
repair the clubhouse and I showed my friends what I was made of!
C       The Disaster
Tara
sat down by the side ofthe road and put her head in her hands. She had no idea
what to do. She was all alone with no car, no money and no phone.
She had
been on her way to her grandparents' golden wedding anniversary party. It was
going to be a wonderful party, with all of the family celebrating together.
As she
drove down the motorway, she saw a car parked at the side of the road, and a
woman waving at the passing cars. She looked as if she needed help. Tara pulled
in and got out of her car to see what was wrong.
As she
walked towards the woman, she suddenly heard a car door slam and an engine
roar. She turned around and saw a man driving off in her car! As Tara stared in
shock, the womanjumped into the other car and sped off.
As she sat by the
roadside, she heard a car stop near her, and a voice call out, "Hey, do
you need a lift?" It was her cousin, David. Tara was so happy to be
rescued that she burst into tears.
D The Prize

I couldnt believe the
moment had finally arrived. My heart was beating fast. As the door to the hotel
suite opened, I pinched myself, hoping that this was not just an amazing dream.
I had
been a huge fan ofCarly Montague since I saw her in a soap opera in the 1990s.
When she became a pop star I bought all her CDs and videos and I went to see
her in concert whenever she came to my town. I had always dreamed of meeting
her, but I never thought my dreams would come true.
When I
saw a competition in a magazine with the Star prize Of a day with Carlÿ
Montague, I entered straight away. I didn't think I had a chance of winning,
but a month later I received a letter telling me that I was going to meet my
favourite star at a luxurious London hotel and spend a whole day with her.
I
entered the hotel suite and saw Carly waiting to greet me. I knew that this was
going to be the best day ofmy life.

Suggested Answer Key
Whether a
person learns or not depends on them and what they do with the information they
receive. Schools and colleges do not educate people, they merely present
information.
b. Elicit a variety of answers to the question around the class.
Suggested Answer Key
I agree with
the statement up to a point, as I think that if people want to learn, they will
learn regardless of their experience in school or college. This is evident from
the way students remember what has interested them and forget what they were
not interested in. However, I think schools and colleges are necessary in order
to guide children to the information they should be learning and to show them
how to learn and acquire knowledge by teaching them to read, research and
analyse information.
c. ss discuss the questions in pairs. Ask some pairs to present their
opinions to the class.
Suggested Answer Key
A I dont think that learning will ever take place completely without
teachers, but I think that students' contact with teachers, classrooms and
schools in general may become limited in the future, as more learning will take
place at home.
B: I agree.As home computers become more widely used, I think that
children will spend more time learning through the Internet and through CD-Roms
and less time meeting with their teachers, or sitting in classrooms with their
friends.
Reading
(pp. 138-139)

I Ask ss to
look at the objects in the pictures and elicit what they show (a video
recorder, an overhead projector, a digital camera, a computer, ajar of pencils,
and a telephone). Read out the title of the text and elicit a variety of
suggestions from ss as to what it means, the relationship between the objects
and the possible content of the text. Allow ss some time to read the text
quickly and check if their guesses were correct.

2

Suggested Answer Key
I think the title refers to a school
in the future where classrooms will have more computers and technological
equipment than in the top and bottom pictures of classrooms. I think the
objects relate to the text because in the future, students will use video
recorders, computers and digital cameras in the classroom.

b. Ask
ss to reread paragraph I of the text and establish why sentence C fits in gap O
(the word' refers to the 'classroom' in the first sentence, and 'has had much
the same meaning' is explained in the description of the classroom in the next
sentence, and echoed in 'have basically remained the same'. 'For many years'
fits in with the present perfect tense). Allow ss some time to read the text
and the missing sentences and complete the task. Remind ss that there is one
sentence which they do not need to use. Point out that ss must try to find
reference words which link the missing sentences and the sentences before and
after each gap. ss do the exercise individually and then check their answers in
pairs. Check ss' answers round the class, asking ss to justify their answers.
Answer Key
 G (Even so' contrasts with 'changes
have been made' from the previous sentence, and 'a visitor from Victorian
times' is echoed in 'any visitors from the past'in the following sentence) 2 F
('has always been' links to that will still continue' in the following sentence
and the subject 'teachers' is repeated later in the paragraph)
3
I (the topic of 'sharing
of projects' in the previous sentence is continued with 'pupils will be able to
work on the same project together')
4
D (the topic of 'the role
of teachers' is continued in the next sentence with Teachers might not always
give the lessons' and 'In the future' fits with the future tense 'will still be
there' and
'will no doubt be replaced)
5
A (the reference word
exchange' is repeated from the previous sentence and 'in much the same way'
refers to this exchange through 'the latest mobile phones' from the previous
sentence) 6 B (the reference word 'video' and 'project' are repeated in the
following sentence)
7 H (the reference word
'training' is repeated in the following sentence)

Suggested Answer Key

Computers are the
classrooms of the future and most of the school curriculum will be followed
online.

Children will
share classes and projects with other students around the country and around
the world.  Teachers will interact with pupils through video windows.

All the desks will
be in a circle.

Videos,
software and multimedia programs will be used more.  Children will be able to exchange
information, music and videos through mobile phones.

New equipment and
technology will improve lessons in every subject.
A: I
think that most of the school curriculum will be followed online in the future
because it will be easier and more convenient for children to learn through
computers.

B:
A:
B:
A:
B:

I agree. Children need to learn computer skills from an early age,
  anpvay, so it is better for them to use computers in their education. J think
  ss wjJJ share projects because they can do this online.
I agree. I dont think that teachers will interact with
  pupils through video windows. I cant see that happening, to be honest. Hmm. I
  think that it might happen at some point in the future because in that way,
  one teacher could interact with quite a lot ofchildren, so it would save
  money.
I see. I think desks will be rearranged and I agree that videos,
  software and multimedia programs will be used more. In fact, school projects
  and presentations are already being given in video format or on computers in
  some schools.
Yes, and children will be able to
  exchange music, information

and videos
through mobile phones, as this is already happening.
A:
Thatß true. And I think it goes without saying that new equipment and
technology will improve lessons in every subject, as we can see how technology
is already improving education and whenever new equipment is introduced to a
school it makes a huge differïnce to the learning experience.

B:

I would like to see more up-to-date computers bought so we can learn how
  to use the latest equipment% I also think we should have a swimming pool for
  swimming lessons and I would like the classrooms to be redecorated so they
  are more modern, comfortable and more pleasant to work in.
I agree with you about the
  computers and the redecoration of the classrooms, but I don't think we really
  need a swimming pool. After all, there is a sports centre at the end of the
  road which is perfectly suitable for our schoors needs. I think what our
  school needs is a theate with up-to-date lighting and sound equipment. There
  should also be some TV or video cameras and editing equipment, so that we
  could learn how to make our own films.
That's a great
  idea. I think you're right. ThereS not much point in building a swimming pool
  when we can use the one at the sports centre, and a theatre like the one you
  described would be much more useful.
Good. so, we agree that the most
  important changes that

should be made to our
school are buying modern computers, redecorating the classrooms and building a
theatre.

Suggested
Answer Key

A:

Personally, I think that students stay away from school
  because they are bored with their lessons. What do you think?

B:

I think that boredom plays a role in making
  students want to play truant, but I also think that problems at school cause
  them to take time off. For example, they may be being bullied, or they may
  have problems with a certain teacher which make them afraid to go to school.
Yes, that's a goodpoint. I suppose that the influence
  of their friends could have something to do with it, too. If their friends
  are playing truant, they may copy themjust to fit in.

B:

They
  may also have family problems and not feel like going to school. For example,
  they may have a sick parent or have to go out to earn some money if the
  family is poor.

2
 Truancy can cause students all kinds of
problems. For instance, they will certainly fall behind in their studies and
find it hard to catch up again ifthey miss too many classes.
B: That's right. They may also get in trouble
with their teachers and their parents ifthey are found out. It is illegal for a
child under the age ofsixteen to miss school without parental permission.
A:
Yes, I know. Another problem truancy may cause students is that they could fall
in with a bad crowd and get involved in crime.
B: Exactly. They could also decide to try
other forms Of rebellious behaviour, such as smoking or drinking and endanger
their health.

A: My
laptop computer is very important to me when / am away from home. It has all my
important documents stored on it and I use it every day to send emails and look
for information on the Internet. Do you have a laptop?
B: No,
but I have a mobile phone, which I couldn't live without when I am away from
home. I use it every day to send messages and make calls. The Other thing I
couldnt live without is my camera. I take o lot ofpictures wherever I go.
A: Oh,
I don't like taking pictures, but I like to write about places I visit and
things I do, so my diary is very important to me, especially when I am away
from home. What else is important to you when you are away from home?
B:
Well, you will think this sounds very silly, but I always take my teddy bear
with me when I go away. It comforts me when I feel homesick. you see.
A:
Right, well, what three things would you take with you ifyou were going to
study abroad for a year?
B: IfI
was going to study abroad for a year, I would definitely take my mobile phone,
my camera and my teddy bear. I wouldn't leave home without them. What about
you?
 A: Well, I wouldnt take a teddy bear. I'm sure they can be very
comforting, but if I had to choose only three things to take, then I would have
to take more important things. I would take my laptop, my diary and my guitar.
I love playing my guitar, and ifI felt homesick I could play some songs from my
country to cheer myselfup.

Read out the questions. ss
discuss them in pairs. When ss the task, ask some pairs to report
back to  the class.
Suggested Answer Key

A:

I think
    that people go away to study in order to experience living in a different
    area or even a different country.

B:

Yes, I agree. That way, they get to learn a new way of life, and
    maybe even a new language, as well as the subject they have chosen to
    study.
Another
    reason is that universities or colleges in other areas often offer courses
    which are not available Where you live, so in order to study your chosen
    subject, you have to leave your home town or country.

B:

That's a good point, I hadn't thought of that. Also, going abroad to
    travel gives you the chance to meet interesting people from other parts of
    the world.

2

A:

Someone who
    is studying abroad can face several problems. They may feel homesick and
    miss their family, for example.

B:

That's right, or they may have trouble understanding the language and
    be unable'0 communicate properly.

A:

Another
    problem they may face is prejudice from the native people Of the country
    they are staying in. Some people have negative attitudes towards
    foreigners.

B:

Yes, that can be difficult. They may also find that the culture is
    very different to their own and they might have a lot to learn in order to
    be able to fit in.

3

A:

I would
    love to study in a foreign country because I would like to learn about how
    people live in other parts of the world.

B:

Me too. I would love to learn a new language as well, and
    be able to communicate with the native people of a new country.
It would be
    great to gain insight into a different culture and to get to know new
    places.

B:

I agree, although I might feel a little homesick at
    times.

Explain the task and the
mean ing of the assessment terms. Play the cassette and elicit answers round
the class.
Suggested Answer Key

Both students use
accurate grammar, though the range of structures they use is very limited, with
almost no complex sentences. Their vocabulary is also very limited.  Student B has perfect (American)
native speaker pronunciation. Student A makes some minor pronunciation errors,
e.g. 'd' instead of 'th', but generally has very good pronunciation and can be
easily understood throughout. Both students use stress and intonation
successfully to convey the intended meaning.

Both students
interact well, particularly Student B, moving the task forward and inviting
responses from each other, though not with any degree of sophistication. They
do not develop their ideas very well and some oftheir responses are rather too
short and simple.

5 a.
Read out the task and ask ss to work in pairs and discuss the questions. When
ss have completed the task, ask some pairs to report back to the class.

Suggested Answer Key

A:

I think bullying can certainly create problems with
  attitude and behaviour. Young pupils can be particularly vulnerable because
  if they are being bullied, they might feel too afraid to discuss the problem
  and then the situation could worsen.

B:

I agree. Also, the child's performance at school can also
  be affected resulting in low grades. Bullying affects children both
  academically and psychologically.

A: I
think turning to a professional is definitely the answer. For example, most
schools these days have professional psychologists to help pupils.
B: I
agree, but I think childrm should tell their parents first. Parents can help
out by being there for a chat and by going to the school with the child to
resolve the matter.
A: Yes, you're right. I
think schools should punish bullies and make sure that they don't do it again
by giving them detention and extra work or even expelling them from the school.
B: I disagree. I think
bullies should be made to see a therapist to find out why they are bullying
other kids. ThatS the only way to make sure they don't do it again.
b. ss
work in the same pairs and discuss the question. Monitor ss' performance around
the class, then ask some pairs to present their answers to the class.
Suggested Answer Key
A: Corporal punishment
is not allowed because it is seen as cruel and unnecessary.
B:
That3 right. Nowadays, behaviour is discussed to help to solve problems. I cant
really think of any occasion when corporal punishment might be acceptable these
days. We have generally moved away from the forms ofphysical punishment that
were accepted in days gone by to trying to encourage young people to treat
others in the some way that they themselves would like to be treated.
A: I agree. I feel it's
much more acceptable to bè punished by, for example, fixing something
you have damaged or by cleaning up the schoolyard.

The schools in the area do not have tennis courts or a swimming pool, so a new

— The cinema has a small Screen and has neither a Dolby sound system, nor
facilities for showing the latest 3D movies. An entertainment complex could
provide a modern cinema and many other facilities too.

Suggested Answer Key
A      Today, many people believe that
English is the most valuable foreign language to learn. I agree with this view
for a number ofreasons.
First ofall, English is
the language ofbusiness, computers and the Internet. Therefore, it is an
important part of daily and working life. People need to be able to understand
English in order to conduct business meetings, use the Internet and use a
variety ofcomputer software programs.
What is more, it is the
second language in many countries around the globe. Consequently, you can be
sure that whereveryou go, you will find someone who speaks English. On the
other hand, many people believe that other foreign languages such as Spanish or
French are more important to learn. However, there are very few countries where
most people do not speak any English at all.
In conclusion, I believe
that although there are valid reasons for learning other foreign languages,
English is by far the most important language to learn in the modern world.
After all, it is the language of the future.
B      Dear Sir/Madam,
I am
writing in response to your recently published article. I believe that ordinary
people can do a lot to reduce the amount ofcrime in our neighbourhood.
Firstly,
Neighbourhood Watch schemes are a good way for members ofthe public to help
reduce crime. People can report suspicious characters to the police and keep an
eye on neighbours' property while they are away. In this way, criminals would
be greatly discouraged from committing crimes in residential areas.
In
addition, I think that people should be encouraged to install burglar alarms in
their homes. As a result, criminals would be deterred from breaking into
houses.
However,
some people believe that crime prevention should be left to the police. Whilst
I feel strongly that crime prevention should not be the sole responsibility of
the public, I feel that since we are the victims we should make an effort to do
what we can.
All in
all, it is my opinioh that there are things the public can do to fight crime,
but they need to feel that the authorities are working to protect them as well.
Yours faithfully,
Timothy Hardcastle
C More education,
betterjobs
Every year, millions
ofstudents decide to go to university after school to improve their job
prospects. I strongly agree that higher education is necessary, in order to
secure a good career for a number ofreasons.
Firstly, in today's
competitive job market many employers will not consider hiring staff who do not
possess a degree. People without qualifications may find it extremely difficult
to get anything more than an unskilledjob.
Furthermore, many higher
education courses include work experience so that graduates have the
qualifications and experience required for a position. As a result, they can
often start higher up in a company.
On the other hand, some
people believe that experience is more valuable than qualifications. However,
this is often acquired from starting at the bottom and working your way up.
With the right qualifications, prospective employees can start from a higher
position Oh the career ladder.
All things considered, it
seems that for many jobs, having a college or university education is a huge
advantage. After all, it is better to be over-qualified than undereducated

out the question. Ask ss around the class to give their answers with reasons.
Suggested
Answer Key

I
strongly agree with Speaker 3. Recycling is quick and cheap and most
importantly, it saves energy. To add to that, it reduces a lot of waste safely.
The government should impose laws about recycling because it plays the most
important role in helping the environment.

I
agree with Speaker 2. I believe that recycling should be part of our lives, but
I do not think that we should go as far as to impose laws.

The
Antarctic is a region ofgreat importance due to the fact that it provides us
with valuable information on the natural history ofour planet. Fossils are a
sign of how life on Earth has evolved and sediment from different lakes enables
us to learn about climate change. Furthermore, the ice sheet is a climate and pollution
 record for the last 500,000 years and the Antarctic gives us information
about the ozone layer and global warming. The fact that a number of species are
protected and marine pollution is controlled adds to the importance of the
Antarctic for the protection ofour planet.

in front of the class.
Suggested Answer Key
Today I was assigned the
task of researching Antarctic animals. First we set off to an island just
two-thirds of a mile away After reaching the island my fellow scientists
started making observations and writing down important information. While they
recorded the data I randomly chose a penguin for my crew to test. The penguin
was tagged and some measurements were taken. Tracking devices were placed on
the penguins back. The penguin will be tracked for weeks and perhaps months.
After we were finished we boarded the ship and headed out to sea to measure
marine pollution.

Tell ss they will need to
do some research using the Internet or encyclopaedias etc to find more

expedition (1911). Then, set the task as written HW Ask individual ss to read
out their diary entries to the class in the next lesson.
Suggested Answer Key

We finally reached
our goal, the South Pole, today. We are exhausted and cold but in good spirits
We have achieved what explorers have been trying to do for over a hundred
years. We put up the Norwegian flag to mark the spot and felt very proud.
Obviously the British team have been delayed so its a big day for Norway!

The icy wind is
testing our endurance to the limits, but despite the difficult conditions, we
cannot fail to be amazed by the whole area. The ice sheet must be extremely
thick and there are several huge lakes. The main inhabitants of the region are
penguins - thousands ofthem. We also saw more seals today there are obviously
many species breeding here.

put together is really interesting. Desert Rose is the second single for
the CD and its also great. The beginning of the song is sung in Arabic and then
you hear Sting's voice. I really liked this song! The song Aftetghe-8Qjn Has is
another song that I loved. The End of the Game has a lot ofdifferent

Sting is a man who has played almost everywhere in the

Suggested
Answer Key
The
life of the average girl today is very different to the lives of the girls
described in the text. For example, girls these days go to school and so are
not in the house all day. Girls and boys have to help

around
the house as, in most families, both parents go out to work and do not have
much time to do household chores. Girls also leave home earlier these days, as
they often go to university or get jobs when they finish school, whereas the
girls in the story will probably stay at home with their parents until they get
married.

The model has some faults.

good, but there are some errors — e.g.

Self-Assessment Module 5
A
There are and always have been as many different types of music as there are
shades of colours in the rainbow. However, the music I find most enjoyable is
classical music.
Classical music never goes
out of fashion. It is always popular, and it makes people from every generation
experience a wonderful range offeelings and emotions.
Furthermore, classical
music has a history and it is fascinating to learn about the composers who
created these pieces of music. By listening to and reading about classical
music we can learn about the Jives and times of the great composers.
Finally, classical music is
great in every situation. For a romantic evening, Chopin is ideal. When I want
to relax, I listen to Mozart, and for a strong, heavy atmosphere, I choose
Wagner.
Overall, I believe that
there is a piece of classical music to appeal to everyone. It is timeless and
can truly calm the savage beast.
         B                             How
to Revise Effectively!
We all know that revision
is very stressful and time-consuming. However, there are a number ofuseful
hints that you can bear in mind to make the task a lot easier.
First of all, make a revision timetable. List all the
subjects that you have to revise and plan when you will study each topic. In
this way, you will not forget to revise anything andyou will not panic.
Secondly, take regular
breaks. You may feel that you should study for as long as possible, but in
actual fact, this is not the way to get the best results. You will take in far
more information ifyou take a break every twenty minutes.
Finally, eat healthily,
get plenty ofsleep, but have fun, too! Your body and mind cannot function if
you are stressed, so remember to get all the nutrients and all the sleep you
need, as well as enjoying a few laughs. It's good foryou!
All in all, ifyou bear
these points in mind, you should be able to learn and retain all the
information you need to help you pass your exams. Good luck!
C Our
planet is facing a crisis. The land, water and air is so polluted that if
something is not done soon, the earth will no longer be a nice place to live.
We can all do our bit to help in the battle against pollution.
First ofall, we should all
leave our cars at homeond use public transport or bicycles to get around. Cars
emit poisonous gases and cause air pollution. This results in acid rain which
destroys buildings and poisons rivers and lakes.
Another way we can all
help is to recycle our waste. This will save on natural resources and will mean
that there will be less rubbish to be disposed of and our planet will be a
cleaner place to live.
Finally, we should save
energy by using less water, gas and electricity. In this way, we use less
fossil fuels, and so cause less pollution and save our plands resources.
In conclusion, if we all
do something now we can make a difference. After all, as the saying goes, 'many
hands make light work'.
D Dear Sam,
I hope
you're feeling better. It was such a shame that you weren't well and missed PaulS
party. I thought I'd write and tell you all about it.
We all
met at Paul's house at about seven o'clock. The place looked great - Paul had
decorated it with balloons and streamers and there were coloured lights
everywhere. He'd also hired a DJ so there was fantastic music playing. The
atmosphere was brilliant.
Everyone
was there (except you, of course) - all Paul's friends from college and a few
of his neighbours, plus his brothers and his cousins. The house was full of
people. We danced for hours, only stopping to try some of the delicious food
that Paul's mum had made. There were sandwiches, pies, biscuits and a huge cake
with coloured icing.
It's
such a pity that you couldn't make it, but don't worry Paul says he's going to
have another party soon! Well, that's all for now. Lets get together soon. Love
Anne
     E   Dear Paula,
Thanks for
your letter. It was great to hear all your news.
I'm so glad that your
parents are planning to visit Clacton this summer.
If they
want a good hotel to stay at, rd recommend the Ambassador Hotel. Its a lovely
modern hotel in the centre of town and it's near the train station. It's
comfortable and clean and the rates are very reasonable. Theres a resturant and
a bar and lounge where they can relax in the evenings.
I
should warn you, though, that they'll have to check out early on the day they
leave, as the hotel expects guests to vacate their rooms by 8am. Also, being so
near the station may mean that it's quite noisy. While the rooms are lovely,
they don't have much ofa view and there's no pool at the hotel.
I hope
your parents have a great holiday If you want to know anything else, just drop
me a line.
Best wishes,
Sarah

b. Answer Key
Language skills might be necessary
depending on the country you want to work in. If, however, you wish to find a
job within the EU, then a knowledge of English could well be enough.
Communication in the
countryyou plan to go to might be quite different from what you ore used to, so
it might be a good idea to find out about it before arriving. For example, some
nations perhaps communicate in a much quieter way while others use more body
language to communicate ideas and opinions.
Social skills will
also be important so as not to cause offence in the countryyou choose to work.
For example, in Japon it is insulting to have your legs crossed on your desk
showing the soles ofyour shoes, while in other countries it is quite
acceptable. So, obviously, social behaviour is different in different countries
and, in order to fit in with any system, we need to change our ways to a
certain extent if we want to be accepted.
Managerial skills are
certainly a necessary part of the modern workplace, whichever country you
choose to work in. How we manage ourselves, deal with others and organise our
daily workload will show our general attitude and ability to work with others
and to work under pressure.

view to giving recommendations to schools nationwide.
Recommendation:
On the whole, the activities on offer
seem to be of interest to visiting youngsters, though our survey did show that
they would only be interested in returning next year if certain additions were
made. Therefore, I strongly recommend that the number and types of activities
on offer should be further improved in order to attract even greater numbers
ofyoung people nextyear.

There are several ideas for preparing successfully for your exams.
  Firstly, I think it would be a good idea to make a revision plan. That way,
  you can be confident that you will revise everything in time. Then, you could
  do some revision every day. This would mean that you will not have to do
  everything at the last minute. Also, if I were you, I'd eat properly. This
  would lead to your body being in good condition as well as your mind.
Answer Key
This would help you feel more calm and relaxed.
This would result in being able to share your ideas and discuss your
  problems.
That way you wouldn't feel that you
  were studying nonstop.

  suggest joining the local club you mentioned. That way, you would have the
  chance to try out all the different Classes and find the one that is best for
  you.
All in all,
  saving the environment is no easy task. One solution would certainly be to
  have stricter laws preventing factories from polluting the environment.
  Despite the fact that pollution levels are so high, there is almost total
  indifference on the part of the governments who have no interest in improving
  the situation.
This small, family hotel is situated on a hillside quite far from local
  beaches. Actually, it might be considered to be rather remote for most
  tourists, and as a result, customers might not be willing to book rooms
  there. Therefore, the suggestion Of having a mini bus to and from local beach
  areas needs to be discussed. Moreover, I would suggest focusing on the
  positive aspects of this particular pension as the advantages certainly outweigh
  the drawbacks.

  you find these suggestions helpful. I think you will find that they are
  neither difficult nor expensive to implement, and I think that they would

Suggested Answer Key
It might be a good idea to use part of the area to create a small
  amusement park, as this would definitely attract more teenage visitors.
Although education is important, some more emphasis
  on entertainment is needed. You will find that teenagers appreciate it, as
  they need a break from learning.
You could possibly include some more general areas of interest. This
  would result in making the museum more appealing to young people.
Another idea would be to use a
  foster means of transport than trams, as this would make the trip more
  exciting.
Finally, it might be better ifyou
  had a less formal restaurant. That way, teenagers would feel more
  comfortable.

Dear Madam,

We all feel that if you could carry out even some of these changes, you
  would have a lot more teenage visitors, and many would come back a second

  to my next visit. Yours faithfully,

Suggested
Answer Key
A
I
was finally in Africa, on my dream holiday! The rest of our group were on a
day-trip to Nairobi, but I had decided to do some exploring on my own. I had
been warned not to wander too far away from our accommodation, but the scenery
was so beautiful, I lost all sense of time. I found myself in a large sandy
area surrounded by trees. I stopped. I could smell smoke and could hear the
rhythmic beating of drums. Suddenly, a man carrying a spear appeared from
behind a tree.
What
can I say? It was an amazing experience! Nabu and the rest ofhis tribe made me
feel so welcome and had given me a present of a wooden spear. / felt very privileged
to have seen their way oflife and I think they enjoyed meeting me, too. 'The
others will never believe me!" I thought. Perhaps the wooden spear would
convince them.
B
It
was early evening on the first day ofour holiday in Bermuda. Stan and I were taking
a walk along the deserted beach beside our small hotel. We could smell the
perfume of the strange and beautiful flowers and hear the cries of the sea
birds which were dark shadows now in the evening sky. It was very peaceful.
"Hey! What's that?" Stan said suddenly, "Surely it cant be a
message in a bottle?"
We
smiled at each other. What would our holiday have been like if we hadn't seen
that bottle half-buried in the sand on our first day? It wasnt from a prisoner
in a castle or somebody shipwrecked on a desert island, but it had led us to
the very strange story of Mona, who had lived on the island over a hundred
years ago. She was long dead, but at least now her children, grandchildren and
great-grandchildren knew what had happened to her and why she had disappeared
like that, without a trace.

Educating
Rita is the moving story of a tough, working-class woman who wants to change
her life. Rita is a lively hairdresser who wants to do a university degree.
This heartwarming film is directed by Lewis Gilbert, who also directed Shirley
Valentine. The cast includes Julie Walters as Rita, and Michael Caine as Frank
a disillusioned college lecturer who eventually agrees to help her. Walters
gives an unforgettabJe performance, and Coine who had to put on a lot of weight
and grow a beard to ploy the role, is superb, as always.
Far
from the Madding Crowd, by Thomas Hardy, tells the timeless story of the
beautiful Bathsheba Everdene. The only daughter ofa well-to-do farmer, this
spoilt and difficult young woman is loved by three men. One is a steady and
reliable farmer, one is a wealthy landowner and one is a weak and greedy soldier.
This is a dramatic story with many unexpected twists.
The
Beatles 1 is a collection of the group's number one hits from the 1960s. It

timeless, from the catchy tunes ofEleanor Rigby and Paperback Writer to the
rich melodies of Yesterday and Hey Jude. If there is anyone out there who has
never heard of the Beatles, this is an excellent introduction.
