Summer memories

[RC + LC + OA]

In the following song a boy and a girl look back on their holiday love affair. The order of the stanzas are mixed up. Reconstruct the storyline. Then, listen to the song to check your answers.

She swam by me, she got a cramp – he went by me, got my suit damp

I saved her life, she nearly drowned – he showed off, splashing around

Summer sun, something’s begun, but uh – oh those summer nights

It turned colder, that’s where it ends – so I told her we’d still be friends

Then we made our true love vow – wonder what she’s doing now

Summer dreams ripped at the seams, but oh, those summer nights

He got friendly, holding my hand – well she got friendly, down in the sand

He was sweet, just turned eighteen – well she was good, you know what I mean

Summer heat, boy and girl meet, but uh-oh, those summer nights

Took her bowling in the Arcade – we went strolling, drank lemonade

We made out under the dock – we stayed out until 10 o’clock

Summer fling, don’t mean a thing, but uh-oh, those summer nights

Summer loving had me a blast – summer loving happened so fast

I met a girl, crazy for me – I met a boy, cute as can be

Summer days drifting away, to uh-oh those summer nights

A holiday experience

[RC + WA]

Read the text below carefully.

The Horror! Last summer Michael and Kevin were halfway through a three month trek through Europe when they had a horrible experience in Budapest. Read Michael’s story below. It started on the train from Vienna when an Australian girl tried to sell us a voucher to one of the hostels in the city. She said it was the ‘party hostel’ of Budapest. She swore it was clean and safe and since she was a fellow backpacker we trusted her. Our trip went quickly downhill after we arrived in the hostel. Our room was in the basement, the window was half kicked out, garbage was all over the floor and I'm sure there were other unwanted houseguests crawling around. We hightailed it out of there. I heard from a lot of other backpackers afterwards that they also ran into trouble when they stepped into the ‘party hostel’, which belongs to a network of 12 hostels in Budapest. Another warning for tourists is that you have to be careful with the metro in that city. I know in Prague a lot of people who were tricked with free tram rides but in Budapest there are inspectors everywhere who target tourists deliberately. A lot of backpackers forget to validate their ticket after they buy it. When you change lines you have to revalidate it. Inspectors regularly hand out fines and when you are on a tight travel budget, it hurts. After leaving the terrible resort we took the metro to a highly recommended hostel ‘The Station’. Bought our tickets, got them validated. A metro inspector stopped me, asked for my ticket, said I didn't pay, even though I validated it a few minutes ago, and demanded money. Then he started demanding my passport and credit card. We weren't stupid and told him to bring us to his office. Other backpackers warned me to watch out for people who dress up in uniforms, call themselves police, and then rip off naive tourists. Basically, he wanted us to give him some cash, since he was an actual metro inspector. You can't argue with the system. Then we got back on the metro and we almost got mugged. Two young men cornered my friend without him knowing and one of them slipped his hand underneath his packs, and down his jeans to try to get his money belt. Luckily my friend noticed it and got away.

Meanwhile, I got into trouble with a group of guys who were trying to rip me off too. My partner in crime pulled me out of the gang and dragged me off at the next stop. All this occurred between only two stops on the metro. No scars but we really didn't get a good impression of Budapest. The baths are worth it and I highly recommend ‘The Station’. They meet you at the train station and show you how to use the metro. It's a new place and the people who work there are really nice.

Answer the questions. 1

Are the following statements true or false? Tick the correct box and justify your answers by referring to the text.

Michael and Kevin were almost 6 weeks on the road when they arrived in Budapest.

Read the introduction to I was Here, one of Beyoncé’s songs.

I Was Here is an R&B ballad, in which Beyoncé vulnerably reviews her past, wanting to leave an impact on the world before her life comes to an end. Described as a "career song", its development was motivated by the September 11 attacks in the United States. A music video for the song was released on August 19, 2012 and it features Beyoncé performing the song live at the United Nations General Assembly while images of volunteers doing humanitarian work were projected on the screen behind her. It was donated to the World Humanitarian Day and aimed to create social media history with one billion people sharing the message of doing something good for another person. Upon its release, it received positive reviews from music critics who praised the projections, Beyoncé's vocal performance and her look.

52 jobs in 52 weeks (extra)

[RC, WA]

Read the text below. Use a dictionary to look up words you don’t understand.

52 Jobs in 52 Weeks Asked what he wanted to be, Sean Aiken used to tell people he was going to become a physiotherapist. He didn't know exactly what that entailed, he acknowledges, but it "sounded cool." But then he found himself graduating from business school with a sense of trepidation. He was on the verge of "real life" and still unsure what he wanted to do with it. After his father confessed to never finding passion in his work, Mr. Aiken committed to an unusual journey: He would work anywhere, doing 52 jobs in a year and donating his wages to charity. "I promised myself that I would find something I loved doing," the Vancouverite told students recently at Saint Mary's University in Halifax. The highs, the lows and the lessons learned during the year from February, 2007, to March, 2008 – including that "it's surprisingly difficult to dress a mannequin" – are detailed in his book One-Week Job, out this week. Mr. Aiken sat down with The Globe and Mail to talk about his experience. You graduated top of your class with a business degree. Why didn't you end up on Bay Street6 instead of dabbling as a bungee instructor, baker and bartender? I started out in sciences. I was thinking about being a physiotherapist or getting into rehabilitation. I took a business course and I found I could really relate it to the real world. I thought business would allow me to keep the options open. So I wasn't too sure exactly what career path I wanted to take, whether I wanted to be on Bay Street or another job. Many take the year after school to go travel and try different things. I guess One-Week Job was my way of doing that. What did you learn about yourself? Many things. I'm not a very good yoga instructor. I guess the biggest thing is I got a lot of confidence. To put myself, week in and week out, in these challenging situations, most often in a job I'd never done before. I guess just kind of testing my abilities, and knowing I have the skill set that I could step into any situation and learn and make do. 6

Bay Street is the financial district of Toronto (a major city in Canada). (You can compare it with Wall Street in New York.)

How did you find and choose the jobs? Our information was on the website and people would e-mail or call with offers. I chose based on what the job sounded like, whether I'd be learning something or not. What were some of the jobs you turned down or, in retrospect, wish you had turned down? One job I turned down was working for Naked News in Toronto. The job was to be a news anchor: As I was delivering the news, I'd have to take off my clothes. Were there jobs you liked, that helped clarify what you want to do in quote unquote real life? I worked in Toronto at the Steam Whistle brewery and the corporate culture there is just amazing. They really respect their employees and, in return, their employees are really happy to be there. I really enjoyed that perspective. In business school, we were always focused on the bottom line, we had this idea that, in order to get ahead, it almost has to be at the expense of others. So it was good to work at a company like Steam Whistle and see how they're involved in the community and how that helps their business. Other ones â&#x20AC;&#x201C; specifically, working in a cubicle job â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I found that I definitely could not see myself in an office environment all the time. So basically, each week I was able to take little pieces of what I was looking for in a career. Any jobs that put them all together? There are a few. I think I'd definitely like to be a teacher and a real-estate agent. I'm not sure in what order. How much time did you spend actually doing the job? When you were a yoga instructor, for example, how long did you have to spend learning it before you could teach a class? Monday through Thursday, I did six hours of yoga class a day. Sometimes I participated in the class, other times I would sit in the corner and take notes. On Friday, I stood up and taught the course myself. That was a really hard week. It was incredibly difficult and I was very sore afterwards. The next week, I was a dairy farmer and I definitely still felt the soreness, even a few weeks after that. What advice would you give a young person, someone close to graduation? I would say, "Don't focus on the title." It's so easy to say you want to be a doctor, teacher, whatever, but d

you don't think about what actually makes up the career. I would say to focus more on yourself and learning more about the types of situations in the workplace you need to be happy. And then start putting it together and see what jobs come out of it. The most important thing is to do something you love. OLIVER MOORE The Globe and Mail Abbreviated from the original version

Actors and actresses

[RC + GRA]

Read part of an interview with actress Georgia Taylor1 and find out what an actress’ job is really like off the stage and screen. Can you tell us a bit about your job?

My job involves working in television, film, theatre and occasionally radio, playing a variety of characters while collaborating with a team of people, including a director, writer and producer. In between acting jobs I sometimes spend my time auditioning for new roles. What's a typical working day like?

There is no such thing as a typical day in this industry but I can talk about my latest job on ITV2’s Lewis as an example. Every day I usually arrived on location in Oxfordshire just before 7 a.m., in time for an hour in costume and make-up before an 8 a.m. filming start. My day always involved shooting a handful of scenes, with breaks when I wasn't required for that particular scene. Filming normally wrapped at 7pm and I was driven home where I looked over my lines for the next day's filming.

Mark the adverbs that indicate how often things in Georgia’s life happen. Explain the underlined words orally. Follow this scheme in order to use adverbs of frequency correctly: § With to be: adverb after the verb

Georgia’s friends are always there for her. Are they always there for her? Yes, they always are.

She is usually at work before 7am.

In affirmative statements and questions with ordinary verbs: adverb before the verb

Georgia occassionally works for the radio.

Does she ever work for the radio? Yes, she sometimes does.

1 Georgia Taylor (born Claire Jackson; 26 February 1980) is best known for her roles as Toyah Battersby in the ITV soap opera Coronation Street from 1997 to 2003, as Ruth Winters in the BBC show Casualty from 2007 to 2011 and as Kate Barker in Law & Order: UK from 2013 to 2014. 2 a commercial television channel in the United Kingdom

In negative statements with ordinary verbs: adverb between two verb forms

Her friends don’t normally lie to her.

With auxiliary verbs (can and will): adverb between two verb forms

Georgia can always count on her friends. They will never let her down.

INJURIES A

[RC + VOC + OA]

Read the text about a mountain climber and the injuries he received while climbing a mountain in Switzerland. Afterwards, answer the questions below.

One of the nastiest experiences in my life was the day when I wanted to climb a mountain on my own in Switzerland. The fact that I decided to do that was already proof positive that I had no experience at all. I had taken just a few lessons with an experienced guide and I thought I could manage. I had the necessary equipment, I thought, and the mountain I wanted to climb was described as “for beginners”. It was not too high. Some 3 or 4 hundred metres high. So I thought OK. I’ll do that. But I had overlooked some important information. It read: under the guidance of an experienced climber. The first hundred metres went well. The terrain was not too demanding. But just when I began to feel the pressure in my arms and in my legs, the slope became steeper, almost perpendicular. Fortunately this mountain had been prepared by the local climbers and I found enough hooks in the rock to fasten myself and prevent me from falling down more than some 20 metres. But then, suddenly, I missed a step, slid back and actually fell some 20 metres deep and swung to and fro. I hurt my head against the rock, so I had a bump on it, my nose started bleeding and my back ached terribly. In an effort to protect myself I tried to grasp a point in the rock, but missed. Now my right hand was also wounded and I felt I had a sprained ankle too. When I finally came to a standstill, I looked down and saw the abyss under me: more than two hundred metres deep. I panicked. But I was lucky. An experienced guide had watched me climb and he realised that I was an absolute beginner. He climbed up as fast as he could and guided me further up, because descending was not an option there. He was calm and self assured and did not blame me as long as we were climbing. But once we were on top of the slope, he told me never to try such a thing again. 1. How high was the Swiss mountain the speaker wanted to climb? ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………....... 2. How could you see that the mountain had already been prepared by the local climbers? ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………....... 3. Name 5 injuries the speaker received after he had missed a step. ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………....... ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… 15

4. How deep was the abyss under him when the speaker finally came to a standstill? …………….………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… 5. What did an experienced guide do to rescue him? …………….………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… 6. What did the guide tell him once they were at the top of the slope?
