LANGUAGES 1. Read the text and circle the best title. a Language studies in England b A different language to study c 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.’ 2. Read the text again and answer these questions. 1 What languages do English students normally study? They usually study French, Spanish or German. 2 Who studies Swahili?

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.

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, and I 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 2.

Well now I can say that I have and I 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.

e

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 down I 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?

DISASTER IN GALICIA 1. Read the text and circle the best title. a Ship sinks near Galicia b Oil disaster off Galician coast c 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. 2. Read the text again and answer the

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. 2.

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. 2.

Do you think that a future like 1984 could happen? Why/why not?

Why/Why not? Chapter 12 1. Read this paragraph about Chapter 12. There are eight wrong words. Circle the wrong words and write the correct word instead. Winston has moved to a more uncomfortable cell. He eats meat three times a day and he is getting fatter and stronger every day. O’Brien takes Winston to Room 101 because he must love Big Brother. On the floor there is a big metal box full of rats – the worst thing in the world for Winston. O’Brien puts the narrow end of the tube over Winston’s face and Winston can see the first rat. So Winston protects Julia. Finally, Winston sits in the Chestnut Tree Café and drinks some coffee. He has met Julia again, in a café on a warm day in March, but he only cares about himself now. He loves Big Brother. 2. Room 101 is different for everyone. What is in your Room 101?

Chapter 12 1. Winston has moved to a more comfortable cell. He eats a meal three times a day and he is getting fatter and stronger every day. O’Brien takes Winston to Room 101 because he must love Big Brother. On the table there is a big metal box full of rats – the worst thing in the world for Winston. O’Brien puts the wide end of the tube over Winston’s face and Winston can see the first rat. So Winston betrays Julia. Finally, Winston sits in the Chestnut Tree Café and drinks some gin. He has met Julia again, in a park on a cold day in March, but he only cares about himself now. Teacher’s Resource Bank ESO 4 / © Pearson Educación, S.A., 2006
