Optional aids Optional activity 6: magazines, catalogues, scissors. Optional activity 9: cards from the Vocabulary box and blank cards for new words to be added. Follow-up activity: a non-transparent bag, small objects to go in the bag. Warmer 1 Game: Who wants to be a millionaire? As in the game show, one student is the contestant and the rest are the audience. Ask the student a general knowledge or language question, giving four possible answers to choose from eg. Brighton is a city in the north/south/east/west of England. The student must choose the correct answer. They can ‘phone a friend’ (ask another student), ask the audience (do a class vote) or go 50/50 (two of the four options are removed), but use each option once only. Invite different students to be the contestant with a new question each until a student gets an answer wrong. Warmer 2 Ask students to remember as much as possible about Star School from Unit 2, Lesson 2, eg How does the show work? Who was on the show? Review other types of TV programme and ask students to tell a partner what they have watched on television this week.

1 Opener •

The aim is to introduce the context for the listening in exercise 2. Ask students to look at the photo and elicit that it shows a TV game show, the host and five contestants. Students discuss the questions in pairs. Ask one or two pairs to report back to the rest of the class and establish the most popular game shows among the students.

2 Listening •

Check that students understand what they are going to hear by asking them to read the first part of the recording and find out how contestants win the game (by giving answers to questions which match the winning profile). Be prepared to explain match and profile, if necessary. Explain that students must put ticks in the correct places in the table to show what the contestants prefer. Tell students that contestants answer questions in the order of their names in the table.

•

Ask students to copy the table into their notebooks, while you put it on the board. After playing the recording, ask students to tell you where to put the ticks to check the answers.

Ask students to complete the You column in the table for their own preferences. Tell students they will hear the profile of the winner. As they listen, they should complete the last column of the table and think about who matches this profile. After each answer, pause the tape, check the answer and ask students which of the five contestants are possible winners. Highlight phrases A–C and encourage students to use them as they speculate on the winner. Pause the tape before the winner is finally given and ask students who it must be.

Ask students to look at the Grammar box and to complete the sentences and rules, using either must or can’t. Students turn to page 110 of the Grammar Summary to check their answers. Answers It can’t be Colin because he prefers meat. It must be you because your answers match the profile.

•

We use must to show that we are sure that something is true. We use can’t to show that we are sure that something is untrue.

Highlight that: – must, can’t, could, may and might are all followed by the verb in the infinitive form without to. – when making deductions, must shows we feel sure something is true and is the opposite of can’t, which shows we feel sure something is untrue. We don’t use mustn’t or can in this context. – could, may and might all have the same use, to show we think something is possibly true. Could does not refer to the past in this context. Drill the examples in chorus for pronunciation and stress. Optional activity Ask students to write three sentences using must, can’t, might, could or may to speculate about the winner from the game show. They should give a reason using because.

Optional activity Game: Spelling noughts and crosses Draw a grid on the board and write the numbers 1–9 in the squares. Divide the class into two teams. Teams must try to win squares in the grid by correctly spelling one of the words from the pronunciation exercise chosen by the teacher. If they are correct, they win the square and O or X is written in the square, depending on which team they are. If they are incorrect, the other team has the chance to choose the square and spell the same word. Teams try to make a vertical, horizontal or diagonal line of squares.

Optional activity Posters: students cut out small sections of pictures from catalogues/magazines (like those in exercise 6) and make a collage of them. They circulate around the room, showing other students their collages, inviting them to speculate on what the objects might be. Students then compare how many of their objects were correctly guessed. Ask students to look at the words in the box without looking at the definitions and tell their partner which words they know already. Students look at definitions 1–8 and match them with a word or phrase from the box. Explain that the definitions talk about the senses and check that students understand the connections between seeing – looks, hearing – sounds, eating – tastes, touching – feels. Choose students to read definitions out loud and different students to give the word/phrase they describe. Drill the vocabulary in chorus for pronunciation and stress.

Ask each student to invent ten Do you prefer … or …? questions, similar to those in exercise 2. If necessary, give them further examples for ideas eg Do you prefer Jennifer Lopez or Cristina Aguilera? Adidas or Nike? Playstation or Xbox? Students draw a chart similar to the one in exercise 2 with their questions and the names of other students. They interview the other students and complete the chart. Invite a few students to report back to their class on what most people preferred. • Game: What’s in the bag? Put random objects like a ruler, a key, an orange or a bookmark into a non-transparent bag. Students put their hand into the bag and try to guess what the object(s) are, without seeing them, each student making a speculating sentence. This could be done in groups, with students preparing a bag of mystery objects for other students.

Americans don’t have to worry, because Richard Smith and Luke Bateman only want to break silly laws. Smith, who came up with the idea, said ‘There are thousands of stupid laws in the United States, but we are limiting ourselves to breaking about forty-five’. The pair intend to start their lawbreaking holiday in Los Angeles – riding a bike underwater in a swimming pool. They also want to go whale-hunting in Salt Lake City, Utah (1,500 km from the ocean), and cross the road on their hands in Hartford, Connecticut. Smith enjoys himself more on holiday when he has a purpose. ‘I am not really one of those people who likes going away and sitting by a pool.’ The students had to plan their 28,000 km journey across the continent carefully. It will take about two months – as long as they don’t get themselves arrested on the way!

Pronunciation Syllable stress Vocabulary Rules and regulations Age limit laws

Optional aids Follow-up activity: signs or pictures of signs, eg no smoking, no entry. Warmer 1 If students did the homework from the previous lesson, they can exchange crosswords with their partner, who tries to complete it correctly according to the definitions.

Other laws that Smith and Bateman hope to break include: • You mustn’t fall asleep in a cheese factory in South Dakota – you must stay awake. • You aren’t allowed to play golf in the streets of Albany, New York. • You can’t take a lion to the cinema in Baltimore. • It’s illegal to say ‘Oh boy!’ in Jonesboro, Georgia. • It’s forbidden to give lighted cigars to pets in Zion, Illinois. • You mustn’t drive round the town square in Oxford, Mississippi more than 100 times.

Warmer 2 Ask students to imagine they are going on a trip around America. They can choose three different cities/places to visit. They compare their plan with a partner and discuss reasons for their choices and say what they might see and do on the way. Useful information Before reading the text, it may be helpful to give students some background information to American law. Although Americans are all governed by US Federal Law, each state has its own constitution and laws, which have a greater influence on daily life. Laws can vary greatly from state to state, in areas such as crime and punishment, health, drugs and education. For example, serious crimes are punishable with the death penalty in some, but not all, states. The highest official in each state is the Governor.

The aim is to introduce the context for the reading in exercise 2. Check first that students understand break the law by giving an example of a law in your country and asking What’s the expression for ‘doing something illegal/not following the law’? Ask students to look at the cartoons and discuss in pairs which laws are being broken. Ask one or two pairs to report back to the rest of the class. Encourage use of might/could for speculation.

Optional activities • Fast finishers can cover the questions and try to remember them, looking only at the answers. • In pairs, students discuss which they think is the silliest law in the article.

Ask students to look at the cartoons below the exercise (of a donkey and a fridge) and guess the laws. Students read the sentences 1–10 to find the laws which relate to the cartoons. Students re-write the laws using the correct form of the verb in brackets. Check the answers by asking different students to say the re-written laws. Answers 1 You can’t whistle underwater in Vermont. 2 You mustn’t sing in the bath in Pennsylvania. 3 You can’t keep a donkey in the bath in Georgia. 4 You have to wear shoes when driving in Alabama. 5 You can’t eat ice cream on Sundays in Oregon. 6 In Elko, Nevada, people walking in the street have to wear a mask. 7 In North Dakota you can’t lie down and fall asleep with your shoes on. 8 In Oklahoma City you mustn’t walk backwards while you’re eating a hamburger. 9 All cats have to wear three bells in Cresskill, New Jersey. 10 You mustn’t sleep outside on top of a refrigerator in Pennsylvania.

The aim is to get the students to discuss laws in their country and the UK, using the language from the grammar box. Tell students they are going to discuss laws in their country. Do the example as a class, asking students to complete the three sentences about driving a car. In pairs, students discuss each law and complete the Age in my country column. Encourage students to discuss if they feel any of the age limits in their country should be different.

Highlight that: – must, can and can’t, have to and don’t have to are all followed by the verb in the infinitive form without to. Must, can and can’t are never followed by to. – don’t have to is not the same as mustn’t. It expresses lack of obligation rather than prohibition. – in this context, mustn’t can be used as the opposite of must, unlike when using must for deduction in the previous unit. Drill the examples in chorus for pronunciation and stress. Encourage students to use weak forms of can /k´n/ and to /t´/. Remind them that the first t in mustn’t is always silent and that the final t in can’t and mustn’t are not always fully pronounced. Point out that have is usually pronounced with a /f/ (not /v/) sound at the end in this context.

Optional activity Put key words from the ten laws on the board, eg sleep, refrigerator, ice cream, Sundays. Books closed, students try to remember the ten laws from the prompts.

Answers You must stay awake in a cheese factory. You mustn’t/can’t fall asleep. You mustn’t/can’t take a lion to the cinema. They have to avoid the police. Americans don’t have to worry. You must/You have to = It’s obligatory. You mustn’t/You can’t = It’s not allowed. You don’t have to = It’s not necessary. The students had to plan their journey carefully.

Recording Teen Problem Page Lara It’s about my best friend. Her mood changes so quickly. One minute she’s happy and cheerful, and the next she’s really depressed. It’s hard for her to concentrate for long – sometimes she just lies down and falls asleep. I don’t want to panic, but I’m really worried about her. What should I do? D I think you should calm down! It’s quite normal for teenagers’ moods to change rapidly. It doesn’t always mean that something is wrong. It’s helpful to talk about things, so why don’t you sit down with her and have a chat? If she doesn’t want to talk, then perhaps you’d better have a word with her parents. Rob I get good marks at school, so my friends all want to copy my homework. But I spend a lot of time working while they’re having fun. It’s not fair, and I’m getting fed up with it. But how do I tell them they can’t copy my work – I don’t want to lose my friends. Help! B Your friends ought to know that they shouldn’t copy your work. It’s cheating and they’d better not do it any more. The next time they ask, say ‘No’ nicely but firmly. Explain that they have to do the work themselves or they won’t learn anything. If they don’t understand, they aren’t real friends. Joe Two older boys at my school are really nasty to me. Every time I see them they hit me and say something rude. They tell other people lies about me. And now one of them says he’s really going to hurt me. I’m scared and I don’t want to go to school any more. What should I do? A Try not to show that you are upset or angry – they can’t bully you if you don’t care. I know it’s difficult, but you should try to ignore them and walk away. If the bullying continues, you’d better tell your parents or a teacher about it. But if the bullies say ‘Sorry’, you ought to accept their apology and try to stay out of their way. Abbie I know lots of people would like to have my ‘problem’, but I’m so upset. I’m really thin and I can’t put on weight. It doesn’t matter how much I eat, I still stay the same. I’m embarrassed to talk to my friends about it – they’ll just think it’s funny. C Don’t worry so much! It’s silly to worry about something you can’t change. Of course, you ought to make sure that you eat a balanced diet. But the fact is that it is more or less impossible for some people to put on weight. Answers Lara–D Rob–B

Answers 1 You should revise for your exams. 2 He let his friends down and he ought to apologise. 3 The music is very loud – we had better turn it down. 4 You shouldn’t feel guilty when you haven’t done anything wrong. (should). 5 You had better not interrupt the teacher when she’s talking. 6 You ought to go and lie down.

Students discuss in pairs whether or not they agree with the advice.

Optional activity Game: Quick advice Divide the class into two teams. Read out a small problem, eg It’s raining, I’m hungry, I’ve got no money, I’ve got a headache. The first student to shout out appropriate advice using a structure from the grammar box wins a point for their team.

Answers You should try to ignore them. They shouldn’t copy your work. What should I do? You ought to accept their apology. You’d better tell your parents or a teacher. They’d better not do it any more.

Highlight that: – all the forms give advice/suggestions. – should, ought to and had better are all followed by the verb in the infinitive form without to. Should and had better are never followed by to. – should is more frequent than ought to, but the meaning is the same. – oughtn’t is less commonly used. Students can stick to shouldn’t. – had better is used when something is important now. The contraction ’d is common, representing had, not would. – the negative form of had better is had better not. We don’t use hadn’t better.

Ask students to look at the Grammar box and to complete the sentences using should/ought to /shouldn’t or had better. Confident students can complete first and then check, while others can look back at exercises 2 and 3 and then complete. Students turn to page 111 of the Grammar Summary to check their answers.

Ask students to write a note describing a problem and asking for advice. Remind them that it does not need to be a real problem they have. Encourage them to look back at those in exercise 2 Reading for ideas, and highlight useful language for asking for advice, eg What should I do? What can I do? Help! Give students a few minutes to check their message for grammar, spelling and capital letters. Students then exchange their message with another student, read the message and write a reply giving helpful advice. Remind students to look back at the

advice in exercise 2 and to try to include some of the advice expressions from the grammar box in exercise 4, the adjective + infinitive pattern and imperatives, eg explain, try not to… Optional activity In small groups of about six, ask students to tell the others about the problem in their message and the advice they received. As a group, they decide who had the most/least serious problem and who got the best/worst advice. Follow-up activities • Game: Problems jigsaw Divide the students into small groups of about five. Give each group a large sheet of paper folded in half and a title, eg school/study problems, problems on holiday, problems with friends, family problems or any others appropriate for your students. In groups they brainstorm problems in their category and make a list on one side of the paper. They then give their paper to another group, who think of possible solutions and write them next to each problem on the other half of the paper. Groups receive their original paper back and read their advice. They then cut up the paper, each piece containing either one problem or one solution. They pass the pieces to a different group, who read and match problems with solutions to re-make the jigsaw. • Game: Adjectives and situations Before the game, put the adjectives from exercise 7 on cards and prepare another set of cards with places/situations written on them, eg in a library, at a supermarket, at a wedding, in an exam. Place the cards face down on a desk, in two piles. Divide the class into two teams. One member of a team chooses a card from each set and the team has to invent a sentence using the adjective + infinitive pattern to describe behaviour in this place, eg It’s rude to shout in a library. Teams score points for correct sentences. Homework Ask students to imagine that they doing an exchange with an English student, who is coming to visit them in their home country for a week, staying with their family and accompanying them to school. Students must write an email to their exchange partner, offering advice about things they should bring, rules of behaviour/local customs they’ll need to follow, places they should visit and things which are important to do during their stay.

Vocabulary Poverty and aid Energy-saving Useful expressions

Useful information Students may have heard of the Make Poverty History campaign and its trademark white wristbands. It aims to raise awareness of the growing divide between the world’s rich and poor and put pressure on richer nations to take action to address poverty. On July 2nd 2005, the Live 8 Concert was staged in 10 countries and screened worldwide as a united call for action to the leaders of the world’s eight richest nations, who were due to meet at the G8 Summit, to drop third world debt, increase aid and ensure fair trade. One of the most alarming statistics publicised by the Make Poverty History campaign is that a child dies every three seconds in the developing world. The idea for the Live 8 Concert came from musician, Bob Geldof, who in 1985 had been the driving force behind the original Live Aid concert and Band Aid single, which raised millions of pounds to help fight poverty and hunger in the developing world.

1 Opener •

The aim is to set the context for the reading. Ask students to agree on a figure in pairs and have a competition to see which pair is closest to the correct answer. Answer 6,700,000,000 approx and rising: 6,646,131,400 (December 2009 est.)

•

Ask students to look at the photo on page 38 and describe what they can see. Optional activity Do the opener without students opening their books, so that they will not have seen the World Poverty box yet. Put some numbers/statistics from the box on the board, eg 100 million children, one in three people, 60%. Then read information from the box, eg people in the world who cannot read or write, and ask students to guess which number goes with it. They then open their books to check their predictions.

Reading 2 •

Ask students to read World Poverty box and play the recordings. Try to elicit some reaction from the students, for example by asking them which information they find most surprising or shocking. Ask students if these are facts or opinions. Explain that The Aid Debate contains both facts and opinions. Ask the students to read and listen to the text and note which are facts and which are opinions. Encourage students to deduce the meaning of unfamiliar words from context and reassure them that they will be looking at the bold words in more detail in the next exercise. Ask one or two confident students to identify facts/opinions and ask how they reached their decision. Ask students to make a list of the verbs which indicate opinions rather than facts.

Warmer 1 Game: Sit down Ask all the students to stand up. Go round the class, asking each student to say the name of a country. Students who can’t think of a country within three seconds or who repeat a country that has already been named, must sit down and are out of the game. Continue round the students as many times as necessary until there is only one student left standing – the winner. With a large class, this could be played in smaller groups.

Recording See the text on page 38 of the Student’s Book. Answers Poor countries already get a lot of aid. However, some of their governments spend the money on weapons or steal it (FACT). We should be more careful who we give the money to. (OPINION) We ought to give a lot more food to the poorest countries – we’ve got too much and they’ve got far too little. (OPINION) I disagree – giving food doesn’t help. We should help people to grow food for themselves. (OPINION) Every year the European Union (EU) gives its farmers $913 for each cow they have. However, the EU’s annual aid to Africa is only $8 per person (FACT). Japan is even worse than the EU (OPINION), giving $2,700 to each of its cows and $1.47 to each African (FACT). It’s incredible!

5 Linking words •

Ask the students to find examples of however in The Aid Debate.

Highlight that: – however expresses a contrast, like but. – however is more formal than but and more common in writing than speaking. – however, unlike but, is often placed at the beginning of a sentence, where it is followed by a comma. Students complete the text with however and and. Check the answers as a class. If students found the exercise difficult, prompt them by asking Does the information agree with or contrast with the information before? See Grammar Summary page 115.

Every year the European Union (EU) gives its farmers $913 for each cow they have. However, the EU’s annual aid to Africa is only $8 per person. However, by 2001 a child there was 25 times more likely to die.

I agree that it’s an imperfect world, but rich countries ought to buy more from poor countries. I believe in fair trade. (OPINION) Children in rich countries live longer. Children living in poverty are more likely to die now than they were ten years ago. In 1990 a child in sub-Saharan Africa was 18 times more likely to die than a rich child. However, by 2001 a child there was 25 times more likely to die. (FACTS) Of course I’m not saying that it’s their fault, but people in poor countries should work harder. They must learn to help themselves. (OPINION) In my opinion, we should only give aid to governments who respect human rights. (OPINION) We’re not a rich country and we’ve got lots of poor people and problems (FACT). We ought to look after our own people first. We aren’t responsible for the whole world (OPINION).

Recording and answers HOW YOU CAN SAVE ENERGY How can you make a difference to the world? Easy! Take control of your environment. 1 Switch off the lights when you leave a room. 2 When you make hot drinks, just boil the water you need. In a week you can save enough energy to light your house for a day. 3 Run the washing machine at 40°C not 60°C and use a third less energy. 4 Turn down the heating in your house by 1°C – it will cost 10% less! 5 Turn your TV, radio or DVD off at the wall. When you leave them on standby, it uses 10–60 % more electricity. 6 Walk, cycle or, if you must, take the bus to school. Don’t drive or let your parents drive you – be impolite and say no! 7 Buy local food, not fruit or vegetables from the other side of the world. 8 Think before you fly. A New York to Paris flight gives out 3.8 tonnes of CO2 (a greenhouse gas) per passenger.

The class could vote on which is the most effective poster and the best posters could be displayed on the classroom walls. • Balloon debate: Change the world. Draw a picture of a balloon on the board and tell the students that they are politicians and that they are all in the balloon. Unfortunately they are too heavy and it is sinking fast, so some politicians must be thrown out of the balloon. Divide the students into small groups of five or six. Each group must think of three good suggestions which will make the world a better place, eg we should use electric cars, university education must be free etc. Groups choose a spokesperson for their group, who tells the rest of the class their suggestions. Other students can ask questions about their suggestions. At the end, take a class vote on which group had the least successful suggestions and should be thrown out of the balloon.

UNIT 3 COMMUNICATION ACTIVITY

Student’s Book p107 and p117 Aim: To practise ordering a debate on nuclear power. • Students work in pairs. Check that they understand nuclear power and encourage them to predict some of the arguments which may be used for and against nuclear power. • Tell students they are going to read half of a debate on nuclear power. Their sentences are in the wrong order and they must work with a partner from the other group to put all of their sentences into the correct order to re-build the debate. Give students time to read their own sentences on p107 or p117. • Remind students not to show their sentences to their partner. Student A begins with Let’s start with the situation today … and student B looks for the following sentence and so on. Remind them to look for clear links from one sentence to the next. • Students show each other their sentences and check that they still agree on the order. Check the correct order with the whole class and encourage students to give their own opinions on the nuclear power debate. Answers – Let’s start with the situation today. We have to do something about global warming – the world is getting hotter and hotter. – I agree and global warming is caused by burning oil, coal and gas for energy. We should look for other ways of producing energy. – That’s right and we don’t need to look far for other ways of producing energy. Nuclear power works and it doesn’t produce the greenhouse gases that cause global warming. – Actually, you’re wrong – nuclear power stations do produce greenhouse gases, about 40% of the gases produced by other power stations. – I can’t believe that it’s 40%. And the other thing about nuclear power is that it’s safe. – Safe? You must be joking. Don’t you remember the nuclear accident at Chernobyl? We must use wind and wave power to get energy. – But wind and wave power won’t give us all the energy we need. Anyway, the fact is that nuclear power is here now, and we must use it and build more power stations. – I completely disagree. We should close nuclear power stations and not build any more. Nuclear power stations produce dangerous waste. We have to find better ways of producing energy – or learn to use less energy. Workbook Unit 3 Lesson 4 pp32–33

The aim is to encourage students to acknowledge the rights and responsibilities of teachers and students and use language from lessons 1-3, as well as expressions of opinions. Introduce the idea of classroom rights, asking students who has rights in the classroom and eliciting students and teachers. Highlight the example rules given for students and teachers and tell students they should add more rules for both. Give students five minutes to write down their ideas in pairs. Then join pairs together into groups of four to discuss their ideas. Repeat the procedure, joining groups of four students into groups of eight. Continue to group students into progressively larger groups until the whole class is working together. Make a copy for each student of the Learner Independence activity – Unit 3. See page 209.

Warmer 1 Choose ten small objects and put them in a bag. (You may ask students to add their own possessions to the bag. Make sure they don’t put anything inappropriate). Students will have to guess what the objects are by only reaching in and touching them. Some of these objects should be easily identifiable – a coin or a key – but others should be misleading – a driving licence (could be a credit card, an ID, etc). Students reach in the bag one by one; make sure they don’t cheat by looking inside. Each student touches an object but doesn’t take it out. Students pass the bag around and write down what they think the object they have touched is. When they finish, write their possible answers on the board. Without revealing what each object is discuss each possibility. Encourage students to use modal verbs of deduction after providing them with a few examples, eg The object is flat and round so it could/may/might be a CD, or it could/may/might be a DVD, it’s hard to tell just by touching it.

You must return them in two weeks’ time. And now can I see your reader’s card? Here you are. What’s that noise? What noise? I didn’t hear anything. Honestly, Tom. I heard somebody moving outside the window a minute ago. I’m scared. It might be a burglar! Calm down! There’s nothing to be afraid of. It may be the wind in the trees.

Answers 1 The Perfect Storm 2 Bridget Jones’ Diary 3 The Sign of Four

Useful information Bridget Jones’ Diary is a novel written by Helen Fielding and published in 1996. It is written in the form of a personal diary, presenting (often humorously) a year in the life of a single English woman in her thirties. In 2001 it was made into a successful film starring Renée Zellweger, Hugh Grant and Colin Firth. The Perfect Storm is a creative nonfiction book which follows the lives of the fishermen before and during the storm. It was written by Sebastian Junger and published in 1997. The book was adapted for the film of the same title, directed by Wolfgang Petersen and released in 2000. The Sign of Four was written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in 1890. It was the second of the numerous stories which he wrote about fictional detective, Sherlock Holmes. It, too, has been made into a film version.

Student’s Book p42

Recording One We knocked at the door. It was opened immediately by an Indian servant. The Indian was wearing a bright yellow turban on his head. He had white clothes and a yellow belt. ‘My master is waiting for you,’ said the servant. As he spoke, we heard a man’s voice. It came from one of the rooms inside the house. ‘Bring them in to me,’ the voice called. ‘Bring them straight in to me.’ We followed the Indian servant into the house. He stopped in front of an open door. ‘Come in, come in,’ said the voice. We entered – Holmes, Miss Morstan and myself. The room in which we were standing was full of Indian paintings. In the centre of the room stood a strange little man with a bald head. He was smiling, but he seemed very nervous.

Two The crew of the Tamaroa pushed a very large net over the side of the ship. The net was made of strong rope and it was held by six or seven men on the deck. The men in the water would have to swim to the rope net, then climb up it. Two of the men fought their way through the waves and got to the rope net. They climbed it slowly, but at last they were safely on board the ship. But the rescue was difficult and dangerous, nut just for the men in the sea but also for the crew of the Tamaroa. All the time that they were holding the rope net huge waves were crashing down on the deck, covering the crew with water. Two men were still in the water and one of them was very weak and tired. He was extremely cold and his hands couldn’t hold the ropes. ‘You have to climb that net!’ the other man screamed. ‘This is your last chance. If you don’t climb it you’ll die!’

Three Suddenly, the producer shouted again. ‘What are you doing? The camera’s on you now. You’re supposed to be sliding down the pole, not trying to climb up it. Go, go go.’ I smiled in a kind of mad way at the camera and dropped myself down. I landed at the feet of the fireman I was supposed to interview. ‘We’ve run out of time,’ the producer shouted in my ear. ‘Finish the interview.’ ‘And now – back to the studio,’ I said. Thursday 28 September 11 a.m. Everyone on the programme is laughing at me. Everyone is saying, ‘And now – back to the studio!’ They all think it’s very funny. I’m so depressed. I thought I’d found something I was good at, but I’m not good at anything. Not men. Not talking to people. Not work. Nothing. Answers Extract 1 Extract 2 Extract 3

Optional activities • In pairs, students speculate about what could happen next in each story. Encourage students to use verbs of deduction, eg Bridget might get depressed. • Write the names of the three novels on the board and ask students if they can remember any characters from each. Write the names they give and add any others they forget. Then dictate examples of direct speech from the novel extracts/recordings for students to write down, eg The wind will blow the rope away from them. Students then compare their sentences in pairs for accuracy and spelling and discuss which novel they came from and which character said which. • Students work in groups to act out a scene from one of the novels. First they should write a script from the information in the extracts, then assign roles and perform their extract for other students.
