Welcome to

BRISTOL

A Paragraph 1 – _______________________________ BRISTOL is England’s sixth biggest city and in 2009, it was one of the top ten cities in the world for young adults according to the international travel publishers, Dorling Kindersley. With its mild climate, international airport and high-speed train links to London, it is fast becoming one of the UK’s most popular tourist destinations. In 2015, Bristol then won the European Green Capital award. Paragraph 2 – _______________________________ Bristol has a strong musical identity. The music journalist Andy Pemberton first used the term trip hop in 1994 to describe the fusion of hip hop and Jamaican dub music. The Bristolian artists Massive Attack and Tricky are famous for this Bristol sound. Banksy, the famously mysterious graffiti artist, is from Bristol and there are numerous examples of his work all over the city. For more traditional art lovers, the 1766 Theatre Royal is the oldest, continuously operating theatre in England. Paragraph 3 – _______________________________ Bristol has plenty of accommodation options for all budgets. From camping and youth hostels for the younger, more independent traveller, to comfortable family B&Bs and luxury five-star hotels. Or for something different but cheap, how about staying in the university residences during the summer when the students go home? Paragraph 4 – _______________________________ Bristol has a multi-ethnic population which means a vibrant food scene to match that of its music and culture. It is easy to eat cheaply in the city and you can taste authentic food from all over the world. In 2012, the city launched the Bristol Pound, its own local currency, which encourages people to spend money in the area and help smaller local businesses. Most restaurants accept Bristol pounds. Paragraph 5 – _______________________________ Bristol enjoys a relatively mild climate and one of the best times to visit the city is during the summer months. Bristolians love a good festival and there is a festival for almost everything; the international Bristol Balloon Festival, the Harbour festival, the urban graffiti festival Upfest, food festivals, music festivals, a film festival, a Shakespeare festival and even a festival dedicated to the actor Cary Grant who was born in Bristol. But don’t forget to pack an umbrella as it often rains, even in the summer!

Paragraph 1 – Differences between past and present shopping habits

Shopping is changing in many ways. In the past, when you wanted some new jeans, you went to the shops to try on jeans, chose the jeans you liked best, paid for them with cash, took your receipt and then went home. Nowadays many people prefer to shop online. It is quicker, products are often cheaper, there are more choices and you do not even need to leave the comfort of your sitting room.

A Shopping today is different compared to shopping in the past. B You get a receipt when you buy something in a traditional shop. C Online products are always cheaper. D It is difficult to compare prices online. E When you shop online, you can’t try on the product before you buy it. F Online shops usually offer a trial period. G More older people than younger people shop online. H Shopping with a smartphone is becoming more popular.

Paragraph 3 – Disadvantages of shopping online Online shopping is not perfect. You cannot see, touch or try on the product before you buy and many people still prefer to buy clothes and shoes at a traditional shop. You cannot pay by cash online. If you are under 18 years old, you cannot have your own credit card and pay by credit card but teens can still shop online with, for example, a prepaid card. Paragraph 4 – Potential problems What happens if you buy online and realise that the product is not what you expected or wanted? Most online shops offer a trial period and if the size is wrong for example, you can return the product in its original packaging and the shop gives you all your money back. Paragraph 5 – The future of shopping online Smartphones are being used more and more often to buy online products, especially by the younger generation. Studies show that people aged from 18 to 30 do more than half of their shopping online and about 25% of these younger shoppers use a smartphone to buy products. And this trend is probably going to increase as technology improves the whole shopping experience.

Pairwork Look at the pictures A-E. Who are these people? Where are they? What are they doing?

School and Work

Paragraph 1 – The world of work Many of today’s workers spent at least ten years of their life in full-time education, but did all that school actually teach them the skills they needed in the world of work? Before we answer that question, let’s look first at what an employer usually looks for in a potential employee. Paragraph 2 – Qualifications An employer in a specific field is going to ask for specific qualifications. If you are going to be a doctor, studying Maths and Science is going to help you more than studying Art and Geography. If you want to be a journalist or writer, language and history qualifications are probably more useful.

Paragraph 3 – Teamwork After qualifications, teamwork is possibly the most important skill any student can learn. To work effectively in a team, an employee needs to first have an opinion, then express C that opinion, listen to colleagues, give a relevant reply and perhaps suggest or agree on a compromise. A teacher who asks their students to work in groups to solve a problem or complete a project is, in fact, teaching the students the important skill of teamwork.

TASK 1 – LONG READING 4

Reading subskill: Deducing the meaning of words from context Read the text again. Match the highlighted words to the definitions below.

Paragraph 4 – Time management Both students and workers are often under considerable pressure with lots of tasks and responsibilities to be completed within a certain time. The ability to multitask is certainly going to be helpful in any future situation with time limits. Every time you finish all of your homework before the next lesson, you learn good time management. Paragraph 5 – The best teacher So, how does school teach you these valuable skills? School subjects prepare you for some qualifications but not all. Fortunately there are many jobs that do not require qualifications, only experience. So yes, school does teach you some of skills you need but experience at work is probably the best teacher.

Does all the class agree on the same sport? Use the vocabulary in unit 7 to help you. Which is the hardest sport in the world to do?

2 A

Look at the pictures and write the names of sports. Then skim the text and check your answers. C B

Paragraph 1 Most sports are both physically and mentally difficult. But which sport is the most difficult? A group of U.S. Olympic Committee sport scientists, academics, athletes and journalists created a survey to find the hardest sport. Paragraph 2 The survey included endurance, power, speed, strength, agility and coordination. Endurance is the ability to continue an activity for a long period of time. Power is the ability to be strong in the shortest time. Speed is the ability to move fast. Strength is the ability to produce force. Agility is the ability to change direction quickly. Coordination is the ability to react immediately and have your body parts in the right place at the right time.

Paragraph 3 According to the results, the third hardest sport was football and the second was ice hockey. The hardest sport in the world is boxing. Boxing is a contact sport and boxers fight for three minutes in a series of between nine and twelve rounds. They only rest for one minute between each round. Paragraph 4 Boxing requires endurance, strength, power and also agility and coordination. The boxers need to be fit enough to fight for almost an hour, powerful enough to win, physically agile enough to change direction quickly and mentally agile enough to change tactics very quickly. Coordination and speed are vital to a professional boxer. Paragraph 5 So boxing is the hardest sport but which is the easiest? According to the same survey, fishing and billiards are the easiest of sports. They do not require much speed or endurance and perhaps that is why many people enjoy doing them!

The best of British food

ritish food has a bad reputation but with its multicultural population and popularity of cooking TV shows, all that is changing. One of the most famous British dishes is the classic Sunday lunch with roast chicken or beef, roast or boiled potatoes and usually two different vegetables. Another favourite is fried fish and chips but it isn’t the healthiest option. Dairy produce is usually of a

very high standard and the milk, butter, cheese, cream and ice cream are excellent. Thanks to the number of Asian cultures present in the UK, hot and spicy curries with rice are popular and there is a wide choice of both cheap and more expensive restaurants. Many of these restaurants offer a take-away service so you can eat delicious food in the comfort of your own home.

Jacket potatoes

Take one large potato for each person. Wash the potato and make small holes in the skin. Put them in the middle of the oven at 180°C for about an hour. The potatoes are ready when the skin is crunchy and the potatoes are soft. Take them out of the oven and open the potatoes. Add salt, pepper, butter and grated cheese. Serve hot with a generous portion of green salad.

Autumn activities

Autumn is a magical time in the UK. The leaves on the trees are changing colour and the days are getting shorter and colder. On a sunny day after rain, you are going to find people walking through the woods looking for field mushrooms. Picking mushrooms is a popular seasonal activity and the season generally lasts from September to November. But you must be very careful to only pick mushrooms you know because there are also many poisonous mushrooms in the UK. Take a good guidebook or even better, an experienced person with you and never eat a mushroom that you don’t know. There are various mushroom picking groups so why not join and follow the experts?

Text A

The London Transport Museum The London Transport Museum focuses on the development of transport systems in the city of London and the people who worked on them over the last 200 years. It is located in Covent Garden Piazza between Russell Street, Tavistock Street and Wellington Street. The first underground electric train is among the various exhibits at the Covent Garden site. The original train did not have any windows because the designers thought that there was nothing to see underground. The problem was that nobody knew which stop they were at. They resolved the problem by paying a person to run inside the train at every station shouting the station names. In addition, the collections also include original artwork and advertising posters, exhibits exploring the design of London’s transport system, London Transport during the war and the expansion of the London Underground. The London Transport Museum has a picnic area, a café and a bar. There is also an excellent research library and a souvenir shop.

It is right that men, women and children share the housework equally.

Enjoy doing the housework Doing the housework isn’t everyone’s favourite home activity but there are many ways you can make it more interesting. • Share the jobs, one person hasn’t got the time to do everything so decide together who does which job. • Make a list of all the things to do in the home and then have some fun. • Listen to your favourite music when you do the washing-up and dance when you clean the floor. • Cooking is more fun when everyone is involved. One person prepares the vegetables, another person cooks the meat and another person lays the table. • You can create a competition with prizes for who finishes their jobs first. The prize can be a simple pleasure like sitting down for that delicious lunch or reading a book together.

Average miutes per day

recent study at the University of Maryland in the USA estimates that American children aged 6 to 12 do less housework than children in other countries. On average, they spend less than three hours a week on housework, compared to 14 hours a week watching TV! There are many reasons why children in the US don’t help at home. Both parents are often at work all day and it’s usually quicker for parents to do the housework than show the children how to do it. For a family to be happy, children need to help with the housework and they learn to look after themselves and help other people. This gives them an important sense of responsibility and autonomy for their adult lives. Doing the housework as a family is also a great teambuilding activity. Based on international comparisons, ten yearolds can load or unload the dishwasher, do the washing-up, tidy rooms, clean the floors, put the shopping away, take the rubbish out, cook a simple meal, wash clothes, make the beds and water the plants.

Desert regions A desert is an area with little or no rain and living conditions are difficult for plant and animal life. They cover about one third of the earth’s land surface and deserts can be hot or cold. In fact, most of the Northern and Southern polar regions are cold deserts. The characteristics of hot deserts include hot temperatures in summer, strong winds and no clouds. The nights are often very cold in a hot desert and there is usually a temperature

104

difference of more than 20°C between the day and the night. The largest cold desert in the world is Antarctica and the biggest hot desert is the Sahara in Africa. The driest desert in the world is the Atacama Desert in South America and the hottest temperatures are in the Lut Desert in south east Iran, the Sahara and the Mohave region of the Great Western Desert in California, North America.

Mountain regions

Mountain regions usually have a different type of climate compared to the flat land next to the sea. The higher the mountain, the colder the weather. For this reason, you can find snow on the top of mountains that are on the equator. Mountains are also generally wetter than the land at sea level. The air at the top of a mountain is colder and it rains more often. In a mountainous area that is also windy, rain falls on the mountain on the windy side and there is sometimes a desert on the side without wind.

The Big Bang Theory Hi Lotte I’m in London and I really love it! We’re staying in a big hotel in the centre of London. It’s closer to the bus stop than the Tube station but I like walking. I’m sharing a room with three other people at the moment but I’m going to change rooms tomorrow. The food in London is surprisingly good but the weather is terrible. I like taking the Tube and there are many fantastic, free museums. We went shopping on Oxford Street yesterday and I bought you a present. See you soon! Love, Sandra

Exam Tip

I watched the The Big Bang Theory last night and found it very funny. There are six main characters and they enjoy talking about Science. You are going to love Penny. She is my favourite character. She is the most beautiful but she isn’t the most intelligent. She isn’t a scientist and she doesn’t usually understand what the others are talking about. I think that the series is great because it teaches us that we can be friends with people that are different from us. You really must watch it! Exam Tip A review must have a title and be clearly organised into paragraphs. Use adjectives and adverbs, express your opinion and give a recommendation.

1 How many paragraphs? 2 Which adjectives and adverbs? 3 What recommendation?
