LANGUAGES

1. Read the text and circle the best title.a Language studies in Englandb A different language to studyc Why English people study languages

Most students at school study at least one and maybe two languages apart from their own. European children tend to learn European languages and in England these languages are probably French, Spanish or German, but one student, Alex Brown, learns another language after school, and it’s not European. It’s Swahili.Alex is interested in the language because his grandparents are originally from the southern part of Africa and their first language is Swahili. So, every day when classes finish, Alex goes to his grandparents’ house for his extra class. Alex really enjoys learning from his grandfather, because he loves hearing all the old stories about his grandfather’s childhood.His grandfather obviously doesn’t ask for any money, but Alex pays for the class in another way. He looks after his grandparents’ garden. He enjoys cutting the grass and watering the plants, but the one thing he doesn’t like is collecting the fallen leaves from the trees.Alex’s dad picks him up after the class to take him home. ‘I’m very happy that my son is learning the language of my father’ he says. ‘When he is older he can go to Africa to visit his distant family and talk to them.’

AN URBAN COW

1. Read the story and order the pictures.1 b______ 4________2 5________3

One day, while I was studying in my bedroom for an exam, I heard a strange noise, like a cow mooing. I didn’t pay any attention at first because it was such an important exam that I really needed to study hard, but then I heard the sound again. It was so strange because I don’t live anywhere near a farm. I put my book down and listened but I could only hear silence.

I went back to studying until lunchtime and then I went into the sitting room, where my brother was watching television. I asked him about the cow sound but he didn’t know what I was talking about. The volume on the TV was so loud that he couldn’t hear anything.

I walked into the kitchen and I heard the sound again, this time much louder. I looked out of the kitchen window and to my surprise, there really was a cow in the garden and it was eating my mum’s best flowers. It mooed again and I was so surprised that I could only stand there with my mouth open.

DEDICATED FOLOWER OF FASHION

1. Read Angela’s descriptions of the clothes and match them to the correct picture.

1 It’s the longest skirt in the shop, but it’s not trendy enough for me with its big flowers. It’s very baggy too, which I don’t like, but I imagine it means it’s quite comfortable. __e__

2 This skirt is also very baggy, but it’s not as long as the first one. It’s medium length. It’s got the same flowery design and so it’s just as unfashionable too. Because it’s shorter, I also think it’s the most comfortable. ______

3 This is the skirt that I like the most. It’s long and quite fashionable. It hasn’t got the horrible flowers of the other two and it’s quite tight. It’s probably the most uncomfortable but you have to suffer for fashion! ______

4 These trousers are baggy at the top and tight at the bottom and I don’t think they’re very fashionable. They’re quite sporty, I suppose, at least for playing golf! ______

A DIFFICULT DECISION

1. Read the texts and put them in the correct order.

1 d 2_______ 3 4

a Unfortunately, if I do this, my parents will be really angry. The other option is to leave school and go and study at college and if I do this, my parents will be pleased but my girlfriend won’t, because the college is in another town and if I go and study there I won’t see much of her.

b If I do this, my parents will be happy and so will my girlfriend because she is definitely going to continue studying here. The next option is to leave school and look for a job. If I choose this one, and if I find a job, I will have more money, which will be good. This will also make my girlfriend happy.

c Obviously, the first option is the one that makes my girlfriend and my parents happy, but I think it’s the one that I personally don’t want. I need a change and if I stay at school I think I’ll be demotivated and bored. So it looks like there is no option that will please everybody: What can I do? If someone can give me some advice, I’ll be very grateful!

d On the 30th of June I have to make a decision and that’s not long as now we’re in April. I’m 16 and finishing my last year of compulsory secondary school this year and I’m not sure what to do next.

Dear Aunt Helen,I have a big problem. Do you remember the photos of the girl, Isabel, who I met when we were on holiday in Spain? Well, now I can’t stop thinking about her. I can’t concentrate on my studies and in a German test yesterday my mind was blank and I couldn’t remember anything! I don’t know why, andI failed it! What can I do? I’m worried that I’ll fail all my exams because all that I do is think about her. If I could stop thinking about her, I’d be OK.Love, Keith

Dear Keith,First of all, I think it’s great that you met such a lovely girl! She’s very beautiful in the photos you sent me. You should be glad to know her and you shouldn’t be stressed. I know you’re unhappy because she’s far away but you should be positive. She’s not in Australia! You could ask your parents for a plane ticket to Spain for your birthday. And you shouldn’t be embarrassed about it. If you explained how you felt to them, I’m sure they’d understand. And you shouldn’t worry about your exams. If you were more relaxed, I’m confident that you’d pass them. And remember that I’m very happy for you!Aunt Helen

GHOST STORY

I’ve never been so frightened as I am now. I’m absolutely terrified! Have you ever seen a ghost? Well now I can say that I have andI don’t want to repeat the experience ever! This is what happened.

I was watching television – a boring programme about famous people. It was quite depressing really. Then I heard a noise like tic, tic, tic. At first I didn’t take any notice but then it got really annoying, so I switched off the TV and tried to locate where it was coming from. However, as soon as I stood up the noise stopped. I sat down again and the tic, tic, tic started again. Then I thought it was amusing, even intriguing. Like a mystery.

I’ve had strange experiences before but this was definitely one of the strangest. I stood up again. Again the sound stopped. When I sat downI saw the most shocking thing. Three white fingers under the sofa. I couldn’t stop myself screaming and in that moment the ghost came out from under the sofa and said ‘Hello!’ I ran out of the room and I haven’t returned yet. What am I going to do?

FAME AND FORTUNE

1. Read the text and circle the best title.a Anonymous Annie.b A Changed Woman.c What Ann Used to Be Like.

Ann Clarke is 27 and happily married with two young children. She looks like a very normal person, who probably had a very normal past. Don’t be deceived. Ann used to be very different. For a start, Ann used to be known as Annie. Annie Mator to be precise, and she used to have green hair as the lead singer in a rock group called the Animators, which used to be very successful in China and Japan in the late nineties, although not in Europe.

‘It was amazing at the time.’ Annie told me. ‘We used to go out on the streets of Tokyo and have hundreds of fans asking for our autographs.’

I asked about Europe. ‘No. Nobody knew us at all in Europe, which was great because we used to get quite tired of all the attention in the Far East. We used to spend at least six months a year there, so it was nice to get back to a place where you could be anonymous.’

So what happened? Why is she now a ‘normal’ wife and mother? ‘In the end I just got tired of all the travelling. It used to be great to live that kind of lifestyle, but after three years of itI decided that it was time to lead a quieter life.I started going out with the drummer who was on our last tour of China, and now we’re married and living in London, where nobody knows who we are, which is wonderful!’

DISASTER IN GALICIA

1. Read the text and circle the best title.a Ship sinks near Galiciab Oil disaster off Galician coastc Storm causes ship to sink

In November 2002, the oil tanker Prestige broke in two off the Galician coast, to the north-west of Spain, leading to one of the worst environmental disasters Spain has experienced.The ship, which was carrying more than 70,000 tonnes of oil, started to have problems when it was caught in a terrible storm. The strong waves broke a hole in the side of the ship and, despite attempts to avoid the disaster, a large amount of oil was released into the sea.Westerly winds blew a large amount of this oil onto the Galician beaches and rocks, destroying wildlife and one of the most beautiful parts of European coastline. Fishing also had to be completely suspended in the area, meaning many local people lost their means of earning money. After a few days floating helplessly at sea, the Prestige sank, taking to the bottom with it most of its deadly cargo, the long-term consequences of which are not yet known.Thousands of local people helped clean the more than 140 beaches affected along the ‘Coast of Death’ by removing the oil and taking affected sea birds to have the oil removed from their feathers. Only time will tell if this natural paradise will return to its previous state.

PROTEST

1. Read the news report and put the paragraphs in the correct order.1 b 2_______ 3 4

a We interviewed one very unhappy woman, Clare Brown, who said that she was protesting about all of these issues. She said she was worried because she lived near a nuclear power plant and also that she was unemployed. She said that there were a lot of violent crimes in her town and that many drug addicts lived in her street. She also said that, after voting for the government in the last election, she definitely wouldn’t be voting for them again.

b Last Saturday a demonstration marched to Parliament to protest about the government’s policies. Two large organisations were involved in the march. One was ‘Green Planet’, which was demonstrating in general about environmental problems and specifically about the new law on nuclear energy.

c We also asked a member of the government for his views and he said people didn’t understand how complicated it was to solve these problems and that the government was doing everything it could to make things better. We told him about the unfortunate woman and all her problems but he said he had no comment on the matter.

d The other was ‘No More Crime’, which believes that the government does not do enough to prevent crime and violence. There were also thousands of individuals, all with their own personal worries and protests against the government, such as unemployment and drug abuse.

MYSTERY PRODUCT

1. Read the text and decide which product was made and sold.a magazine b newspaper c novel d comic

First, obviously, it was written by the author, on his portable laptop computer. Then the story was sent to the publishers. The editor thought that the general idea was fantastic, although the story was a bit flawed in places, so parts of it were rewritten.When everyone had decided that it was ready to be printed, the complete work was loaded onto the publisher’s main computer. The work was 326 pages long, so 163 sheets of paper were needed, as both sides are used. These were loaded into the printer and a test was printed. When everyone was satisfied, thousands of copies were printed. Also the front and back covers were designed. An artist was employed for this job, and when they were approved by the author and the editor, these were also printed, on special, more expensive paper, and in colour.The product wasn’t advertised heavily, but copies were given to critics, whose reviews were read by many people. The product was sold in specialised shops and also in department stores, in their literary section, and because the reviews described it as ‘excellent’ and ‘superb’, nearly a hundred thousand copies were sold.
