Strategy 2: Using key words
A text usually has key words that can help you understand it. These are usually verbs and nouns.

Tune in to Reading
Strategy 1: Skimming
It can help you to understand a text if you read it quickly first to get an idea of what the text is about.

Look at the titles below. a A history of chat rooms b Are chat rooms safe places for children? c Why do people like chat rooms? Now skim the text and choose the best title. You only have one minute.

Read the summaries of paragraph 4. 1 Chat rooms are harmless fun. 2 There is lots of good advice for chat room users and providers. This advice should be followed. 3 Most people are irresponsible when they use chat rooms. Now read paragraph 4 and choose the best summary. Which key words showed you the correct answer?

Chat rooms have become very popular with teenagers, who use them to meet people from all over the world. Chat rooms were first invented by the US army, who used them to help soldiers stay in touch with their families. Since then they have spread to the general public and become an internet phenomenon. However, the popularity of these rooms with teenagers has raised a number of concerns. First of all, some children are using chat rooms to bully other kids by sending them unpleasant messages. Some bullies impersonate other children online and cause trouble for their victims that way. But the biggest cause for concern is that children have been harassed by adults as a result of their use of chat rooms. There are many websites which recount frightening stories of children and teenagers who have been lured into danger through chat rooms. So great has the problem become that in 2003 and 2005 the British Government issued warnings to children who use chat rooms, and guidelines to people setting up these rooms. The BBC also provides a chat guide for children and teenagers, as do other independent sites. Most of the advice is very similar. If you are a chat room user, you should be very careful who you trust with information online. One way to ensure this is by making sure that you stay in control of what you make public in a chat room. Never give away personal information like addresses and appearance keep your identity secret. In safe chat rooms there should be easily accessible ignore buttons, which allow you to block messages from individuals. Use these buttons, and if theyre not available, dont use the chat room. Only stay in public chat rooms, dont go into private one-on-one rooms. Only use rooms that are moderated, so that a responsible adult is monitoring what happens. You should also be able to contact the moderator easily so you can report bad behaviour if necessary. And finally, never meet someone from a chat room face to face without an adult to accompany you remember that online friends are actually strangers. Above all, parents and their children need to be aware that, although chat rooms can be great fun if used sensibly, they also need to be used with care.

Strategy 3: Noticing phrases


Often the key parts of a text are phrases rather than words. It can help you understand a text if you can notice these phrases.

Match the two parts of the sentences. 1 But the biggest cause for concern is 2 Children have been harassed by adults 3 The BBC also provides a chat guide for children and teenagers, 4 Only use rooms that are moderated 5 Although chat rooms can be great fun if used sensibly, a that children have been harassed by adults as a result of their use of chat rooms. b as do other independent sites. c they also need to be used with care. d so that a responsible adult is monitoring what happens. e as a result of their use of chat rooms. Now find the sentences in the text and check your answers. 7

Tune in to Reading (page 13)


This reviews the Tune in to Reading box on page 13 of the Students Book. It gives students further practice of using titles and accompanying visuals to help them gain an initial understanding of a text. Encourage your students to read titles carefully and then use them as a basis to predict what the text is about. They also need to examine all visuals provided, since these should also support understanding. After predicting, students should check their ideas by skimming the text, as practised in Unit 1, page 4 of the Students Book. There are two phrases that may cause problems for the students in this text: base camp (line 10): when people go mountaineering, this is the first area where they put their tents and equipment at the bottom of the mountain will even teach you some husky (lines 22-23): in this sentence husky is being used in a humorous way to mean the language used to speak to the husky dogs

ANSWER KEY 1 caught 2 trained 3 played 4 hit 5 fell 6 swam

This exercise reviews the Grammar box on page 14 of the Students Book. If students are having difficulty with this exercise, encourage them to think about how long each action is. The shorter action will often be in the Past Simple and the longer, background action in the Past Continuous. For example, in the first sentence, the ambulance came refers to the ambulances arrival, which would be very short. Talking on the phone would take a much longer time.

ANSWER KEY 1 He was talking on the phone when the ambulance came. 2 She was taking a bath when the phone rang. 3 He was walking in the mountains when he took the photograph. 4 As I was reading my report, I noticed a mistake. 5 He heard the news while he was eating dinner. 6 She hurt her leg when she was playing football.

It may not occur to students to use their knowledge of a topic when reading about it in a foreign language. So, before reading, encourage them to think about everything they already know about the reading topic. In class, students can share their knowledge in order to help each other. Students may ignore visuals in their eagerness to read the text. It is worth pointing out to students that pictures are carefully chosen to illustrate the article they accompany. So, time spent looking at the pictures will help them to understand the text itself. In class, students can describe the pictures to each other in order to raise the general level of knowledge about a topic. In this exercise students guess a title from the pictures before reading and then read quickly to check their answer. Allow students only two minutes for this exercise.

This exercise reviews the Grammar box on page 15 of the Students Book.

ANSWER KEY 1 The top adventure holidays

Students complete the paragraph by choosing between the Past Perfect and the Past Continuous.

In the exam students may rush into a text feeling that they have no time to waste. However, using what they know about the topic to predict content can greatly help them to understand it better, so a little time spent thinking about what they expect to meet in a text is valuable. Suggest students write down some words they think might appear in the text as a way of practising and developing this exam strategy. Note that the texts that students come across in the exam will probably not contain sub-headings as such. However, this skill can help with reading web pages and original sources in preparation for the exam.

Sports in Britain and Spain
Work in pairs. Read the text. What sports do the four people like best? Sheila __________ Jaime _________ Edward __________ Alicia _________

Kids in the UK often have about two hours a week of organised physical education classes. The classes include competitive sports such as football, cricket, rugby and hockey. Netball is also popular with girls. Sheila, from Bath, England I love playing netball. It is a good, fun game which is a bit similar to basketball, but you play with seven players. The game is really fast moving. You can only hold onto the ball for three seconds and you cant take more than one step with the ball, so you have to throw it to another player. Players have to stay in their areas of the court and if they dont, they are offside. Only the goal attack and the goal shooter positions can score. Edward from Edinburgh, Scotland I like rugby. Its a very hard sport and we play it in all weather: rain, snow, anything. You play with an oval ball in teams of fifteen. You can kick or run with the ball. My team is really good: we have won some school championships.

In schools in Spain, the most popular sports are football, basketball and handball for boys, while dance and gymnastics are popular for girls. Jaime, from Vigo, Spain My favourite sport is handball. It has the best parts of football, but you can touch the ball with your hand. You can play it indoors. You have to be very strong and agile to play the game. There are very good Spanish professional teams as well. I dont like athletics at all. I find running around a track boring. I prefer team sports. Alicia, from Cartagena, Spain I love gymnastics. Gymnastics develops good co-ordination. If you are a good gymnast, you are in very good shape. It is a wonderful hobby and a great way to stay fit. I dont like team sports because they are too competitive. When Im doing gymnastics, I am competing with myself.

Tune in to Reading (page 19)


This reviews the Tune in to Reading box on page 20 of the Students Book. It further develops the skill of scanning for specific information. This is a common exam task and students need to become aware of clues they can use to help them read quickly and effectively. Making students aware of how numbers and capital letters stand out in a text can be a very useful strategy. In addition, students need to be aware that time spent reading the task carefully is just as important as time spent reading the text itself.

16

Proper nouns with capital letters are, like numbers, easy to spot in a text. Students need to recognise links between proper nouns in the task and in the text as this will allow them to find where an answer is located quickly. Underlining key words in the task and the text is a good way to develop this skill.

Students read the job advertisement and then complete the letter.

Travelling to a different tune


A gap year is a period of time that students take between finishing school and starting university. Many students travel, others do international volunteer work and some enjoy a working holiday. A relatively new concept in the USA, there are organisations like Outward Bound which organise wilderness experiences. Citizens of the UK take advantage of programmes in Canada, Australia and New Zealand, with volunteering in Africa becoming more and more popular. There are many different and exciting experiences awaiting you abroad. Read about three teenagers and the type of travel experiences they had. 1 ___Melinda Clarke is an American teenager who was a volunteer in an African village where she taught English and computer skills. She has some advice for teens wanting to volunteer abroad: realise that you wont have all of the comforts of home. understand that you cant change peoples lives in a short trip, but you can contribute something. 2 ___Charles Warren is an Australian who has been an intern for six months in a science institute in Germany, where he has had to work very long hours. Even though he was working with people much older than himself, he has planned to stay on in Germany working for a company in Cologne because he has enjoyed his experience so much. 3 ___An exciting way to work all over the world is to take a job on a cruise ship. Sharon Paulson has visited Mexico, Cuba, the USA and many other countries. She works as a waitress, so she works long hours. She has some days free to tour the cities where the cruise ship stops, but often she has to work during the day.

ANSWER KEY 1 environment 2 demonstration 3 optimist 4 Humidity 5 community 6 investigation

When confronted by a new word, it can be useful for students to start by deciding what part of speech it is. This may be indicated by suffixes. Students have encountered noun suffixes on page 32 of the Students Book.

ANSWER KEY 1 technology = noun. Students know this is a noun because of the suffix -ology. 2 subsidise = verb. Students know this is a verb because of the ending -ise. Note that words ending -ise may also be spelt -ize, which is the US spelling, e.g. subsidize. 3 exploration = noun. Students know this is a noun because of the suffix -ation. 4 weightless = adjective. Students know this is an adjective because of the suffix -less, which means without. 5 environment = noun. Students know this is a noun because of the suffix -ment.

Once students have decided what part of speech a word is, they can use the context in which the word is used to help them guess the meaning. Students need to be encouraged to look at sentences and phrases that occur before and after the word itself as it is these sentences and phrases which will establish context.

Read the numbers to the class and ask students to repeat them. Students work in pairs. Students write numbers in figures in the left-hand column. Encourage the students to choose large numbers with several figures after the decimal point, for example 1,398.415. This will give them plenty of practice of a confusing part of learning English. Students then exchange numbers without looking at their partners paper, and complete the right-hand column of their table with their partners numbers. Finally, they compare their answers. Students match the symbols to the terms. A fourth symbol which is not used in the following exercises is , which is said as divide by.

Students insert three sentences into the text. Draw students attention to the phrases for example, in my opinion, and instead in sentences 1-3. These phrases all help readers understand a text and students should try to use them in their own writing.

Students write a concluding paragraph. It might be useful to direct students back to the opinion essay on page 36 of the Students Book, which can provide a model for this task.

Tell students that in the UK dates are read day/month/year. In the US the dates are read month/day/year. Write a few dates on the board and have students practise saying the dates. Remind students that they need to use ordinal numbers when reading dates. It may be useful to review the ordinal numbers 1-10, 20 and 30 on the board: 1 first 5 fifth 9 ninth 2 second 6 sixth 10 tenth 3 third 7 seventh 20 twentieth 4 fourth 8 eighth 30 thirtieth This is a fun pairwork practice. Students work in pairs. Ask students not to tell each other their birthday until they have completed the game. Note that the answer is given month + day as in the USA. It may be necessary to warn students about this before they start. As a follow-up, ask students if they know any more games like this. If so, ask students to tell the game instructions to the class. 23

MODEL ANSWER In conclusion, the problems here on Earth are not going to go away unless we do something about them. We need to act now and dedicate money to people, not space exploration.

This Tune in to Culture page, Mathematical terms in English, deals with numbers and mathematics. This is an important area to study in English as many of the numerical conventions used in Spain are not the same in the English-speaking world.

Tune in to Reading (page 31)


This reviews the Tune in to Reading box on page 38 of the Students Book. It further develops the skill of reading intensively when you are interested in all the details of a text. In their final exam, students may need to read a text in great detail to complete a task. This means they will need plenty of practice of reading slowly and carefully and using context to help them understand difficult sections.

Once the students have understood the events of the story, they will be able to use their understanding of the context to guess the meaning of unknown words.

Students use the information given to write a mini-biography of William Shakespeare. Set a limit of 60 words for this activity.

MODEL ANSWER William Shakespeare was born in Stratfordupon-Avon, England on 26 April 1564. He lived in Stratford-upon-Avon and London, where he wrote famous works such as Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet and Macbeth. He wrote 37 plays, which were inspired by Roman history, English history, and Italian stories. He died on 23 April 1616.

ANSWER KEY 1 The burglar broke into the house. Break into means to enter a house illegally to steal things. 2 It started going home. Set off means to start travelling on a journey. 3 The police caught and arrested Mr Ealey. The police arrest someone when they catch them and take them to the police station. 4 The shop assistant opened the till, which had money in it. The till is the machine in a shop which holds money and tells shop assistants how much money to give as change, etc. 5 The thief grabbed all the money in the till and ran away. To grab means to take something quickly with your hand.

Tune in to Culture (page 33)

However, Burma is still commonly used in English to describe this country, especially in a historical context such as here. Point out to students that biographies often include the same sort of information. They can learn common sentences to help them write this kind of text.

Students work in pairs to answer the questions in the quiz as quickly as possible. Then read out the answers. Students may question the answer to 5, as Anne Frank lived most of her life in Amsterdam. While she moved with her family from Germany to Holland to escape the Nazi regime, she was actually born in Frankfurt.

Strategy 1: Understanding the setting


When reading intensively, it can help your comprehension if you get an idea of the background to the text first. This is especially true when reading a story.

Strategy 3: Guessing meaning from context


Once you have understood what happens in a story, this will probably help you to guess what some of the difficult words mean.

Read the text. It includes three stories about crimes. For each story answer the questions. 1 What sort of crime is committed? 2 Where does the crime happen? 3 Why is the story funny?

Use what you know about the stories and the questions below to guess what these words mean. 1 to break into (line 12)
In the story, who broke into a house?

2 to set off (line 22)


When the dog set off, what did it start doing?

Strategy 2: Characters
Stories are often about people, so it can help you to follow the story if you concentrate on what the characters do.

3 to arrest (line 25)


Who arrested Mr Ealey?

4 till (line 47)


Who opened the till and what was in it?

This reviews the Tune in to Reading box on page 47 of the Students Book. It further develops the skills of inferring. In their final exam students may be asked to interpret the position of an author. It is important therefore that they develop the ability to infer meaning from a long text, where an authors argument might not be completely obvious.

1 I cant make the decision now. Ill have to sleep on it. 2 Dont be such a sleepyhead! Get up now! 3 My friends are coming to my house to sleep over tonight. 4 I wanted to talk to you last night, but you were fast asleep. 5 Im so happy its Saturday and I can sleep in. 6 I need to go to bed to get my beauty sleep.

Finding information in a text to justify statements is a common skill in the final exam and this is a technique students will need to master.

ANSWER KEY 1 With sleepwalking many people believe what they see in films and cartoons, that the sleepwalker walks around with his hands out and eyes closed. In fact sleepwalking can mean many things. (lines 7-10) 2 His mother said that it was just a phase he was going through. (lines 16-17) 3 Both of these explanations were interesting, but I wasnt entirely sure that they explained the situation. (lines 21-23) 4 Often sleepwalking can be caused by stress and so there was a possible connection here. (lines 27-29) 5 It was not clear whether this would be a certain solution to the problem, but I felt that it was worth a try as a first attempt. (lines 32-34)

Stevens sleepwalking
Strategy 1: Inferring meaning
To infer meaning from the text, identify which sentences contain the relevant information. Read the text and find the sentences which tell us the following information. 1 The writer thinks the public have a false idea of sleepwalking. 2 The mother thinks the sleepwalking is not a major problem. 3 The writer doesnt agree with the parents sleepwalking explanations. 4 The writer says he is not one hundred percent sure that the sleepwalking is caused by stress. 5 The writer thinks his solution might not work, but that there are other ideas that they can try.

Doctors Casebook: Stevens Sleepwalking


but they stop doing it in later life. The father thought that When Steven was twelve years old, he started sleepwalking. One Steven wasnt getting enough exercise during the day, as he night he was sleeping perfectly normally and the next he was out of bed and moving around the house.

Strategy 2: Inferring meaning from other words


When you read a text, try to infer meaning from all the surrounding words.

Match the words in bold with the definitions. Then find the words in 1-7 in the text. Do they have the same meaning? 1 People often think terrific means very bad. In fact it means excellent. a if 2 Normally I can solve this problem.

Strategy 3: Looking at paragraphs


It is a good idea to look at paragraphs individually, especially at the start of the text. It is at this point that writers tell us their own opinions. However, sometimes you will have to infer the meaning.

An important part of learning a foreign language is to learn idioms. An idiom is a phrase that exists in one language, but cannot be translated directly into another. For example, took off is an idiom in the sentence: He took off his coat, because take + off in other languages will not have the same meaning as the English phrasal verb.

Work in pairs. Look at the conversations and answer the questions. Can you get all seven questions right? 1 STUART: When I leave university, Im going to work as a film director. ADAM: In your dreams! Youre going to get a 95 job like everybody else. Adam says in your dreams because: a he thinks Stuart will become a film director. b he thinks that it is improbable that Stuart will become a film director. c he thinks Stuart will work hard to become a film director. When Yvonne says dont lose any sleep over it, she means: a dont worry about it. b work all the time and dont relax. c dont work at night. What is a brainwave? a An old idea. b A complicated idea. c A brilliant idea.

2 WILLIAM: I have to take a Physics exam in June! Im sure Im going to fail. What can I do? YVONNE: There are six months before the exam. You have lots of time to study, and I can help you.

ANSWER KEY

When trying to understand a text, students need lots of encouragement to use the knowledge they already have. This strategy suggests using word spiders to write down what they know about a topic as a way of organising their thoughts before reading. If students are having difficulties brainstorming environmental problems, encourage them to think about problems in their own local area. Also refer students back to the text on the Antarctic on page 56 of the Students Book.

Strategy 1: Using what you know
When you have a complicated text to read, first try to think about everything you already know about the topic. This is good preparation for reading. You are going to read a text about environmental pollution. Brainstorm all the words you know about environmental problems. Complete the word spider.

environmental problems

Read the topic sentences from the text below. What do you think the rest of each paragraph will be about? Paragraph one: The shrinking Aral Sea is a severe trouble spot in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan because of over-irrigation and pollution. Paragraph two: The water is also being severely polluted by pesticides and fertilisers. Paragraph three: The environmental crisis is quickly becoming a human crisis too. Now read the article and check your answers.

The shrinking Aral Sea is a severe trouble spot in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan because of over-irrigation and pollution. Inefficient irrigation systems still consume enormous amounts of water which would once have reached the sea, but now do not. The Aral Sea used to have a volume of 3 1,000km3 forty years ago, but now its volume is only 110km . it than higher times seven is water the of The mineral content was four decades ago. The water is also being severely polluted by pesticides and fertilisers. Local farmers have been using these chemicals on farmland to help them grow cotton. Where the water has completely dried up, there is now an environmental nightmare. There are big areas of desert covered with large amounts of salt. The land is contaminated with toxic chemicals washed down from the farms on the rivers

upstream. As the water has disappeared, ships have been abandoned, stuck on the dry sea bed. The environmental crisis is quickly becoming a human crisis too. There is not enough food in the area so malnutrition is rife and diseases and conditions such as tuberculosis and anaemia are on the increase. In particular, throat cancer has become more common near the Aral Sea than anywhere else in the world.

Strategy 3: Finding specific information


Read the sentences carefully and then identify which part of the text has the answer. 43

Are the sentences true or false according to the article? Find evidence in the text to support your answers. 1 Because water is precious in the Aral Sea, local people try to protect the water supply. 2 The Aral Sea is getting smaller. 3 Local farmers have stopped using fertilisers and pesticides. 4 In some parts of the sea, ships can no longer sail because there is not enough water. 5 There are serious health problems developing in the area.

Strategy 1: Identifying adverb and adjective pairs
Writers use adverbs and adjectives to show their opinions. It can be useful to pick these words out of a text and decide whether they are positive or negative. The adverbs and adjectives are often used together in pairs, for example, incredibly interesting.

Read the first paragraph of the text and find adverb and adjective pairs used to give opinions.

iPod nano (2GB or 4GB)


The iPod nano, the latest mp3 player from Apple, is absolutely amazing. It is incredibly thin and small enough to fit into your jeans pocket. However, small size doesnt 5 mean small memory. The memory capacity (2GB or 4GB) allows you to store 500 or 1,000 songs respectively. No sound quality has been lost 10 either. In fact, the nanos sound quality is absolutely fantastic. The nano has no movable parts inside. This, combined with its size, makes the nano ideal for those who want to use it while working out at the gym. You can run or jump around and your sounds will not be affected. What also makes the nano a real 15 winner for the fitness fan is its stopwatch for timing exercise routines. Theres also a lap timer for you to record your times. Moreover, the nano will even tell you your shortest, longest and average lap times. What about the nanos other features? The games Brick, 20 Music Quiz, Parachute and Solitaire are included as standard, which is not the most imaginative selection. Having said that, all are enjoyable games. The nano plays both photos and video on its colour screen and, although the screen is pretty small, images are sharp and perfectly clear. Finally, the battery should provide 25 you with 14 hours of playing time and will fast charge to 80% capacity in only 1.5 hours. The nano may not have a voice recorder, but the lack of that feature does not in any way take away from its superb quality. The nano has not been around long, but it has already 30 established itself as the one the others have to beat!

Strategy 2: Opinion phrases


Another clue to the writers opinion is the way in which the writer uses certain phrases.

Strategy 3: Referring devices


Writers use referring devices like although to show contrast or to emphasise opinions. Look out for them as you read and see how they are being used.

Look at the phrases from the text and decide whether they are positive or negative. Find evidence for your decision. 1 This, combined with its size, makes the nano ideal for those who want to use it while working out at the gym. (lines 11-13) 2 What also makes the nano a real winner for the fitness fan is its stopwatch for timing exercise routines. (lines 14-16) 3 which is not the most imaginative selection. (line 21) 4 Having said that, all are enjoyable games. (lines 21-22) 5 although the screen is pretty small, (line 23) 6 images are sharp and perfectly clear. (lines 23-24) 7 The nano may not have a voice recorder, (line 27) 8 but the lack of that feature does not in any way take away from its superb quality. (lines 27-28)

Match the two parts of the sentences. Then check your answers in the text. The referring device is in bold. 1 No sound quality has been lost either. 2 Theres also a lap timer for you to record your times. 3 The games Brick, Music Quiz, Parachute and Solitaire are included as standard, which is not the most imaginative selection. 4 Although the screen is pretty small, 5 The nano may not have a voice recorder, a Moreover, the nano will even tell you your shortest, longest and average lap times. b images are sharp and perfectly clear. c but the lack of that feature does not in any way take away from its superb quality. d In fact, the nanos sound quality is absolutely fantastic. e Having said that, they all are enjoyable games.

Spoken English is often more idiomatic than written English. Idiomatic expressions can cause students lots of problems since they are not literal.

Point out these aspects when reading play scripts and ask the students to suggest alternative ways of saying the idioms.

ANSWER KEY

Students often believe that spoken English is more informal than written English. However, this is not necessarily true and there are various degrees of formality in spoken language. You can ask the students to find examples of different degrees of formality in texts and ask them to transform them into more or less formal equivalents.

ANSWER KEY Formal: 1you must be; 4Would you like me to; 7please do; 9I would like to do; 11would you like to follow me? Informal: 2yeah; 3Im; 5Thanks a lot; 6can I get; 8thats right; 10Thats brilliant; 12Sure.

This Tune in to Culture page, Lets go to the cinema!, deals with films.

This reviews the language taught on page 77 of the Students Book. Students read the script and find the errors.

ANSWER KEY 1 2 3 4 5 6 Im fed up with taking my things without asking Shes so inconsiderate. its not fair Shes really childish. Take my advice.

Students work in pairs on a jigsaw reading looking at films. Put the students in pairs. Cut the photocopies in half and give one half to each Student A and the other half to each Student B. Tell students that they are not allowed to look at each others papers. First, students individually write the questions which will answer their missing information. You might want to check that students have the correct questions before they start the information exchange on King Kong and Girl with a Pearl Earring. Then they work in pairs to ask and answer the questions. At the end of the exercise let students compare their answers with the texts.

Students act out the script in pairs. Encourage the students to use as much emotion in their performance as possible. Students write a script using the first script as a model. Mark has become tired of living with Ben and his bad habits. Nancy needs to be supportive of Mark. Encourage students also to use language that they have learnt on page 77 of the Students Book.

ANSWER KEY 1 2 3 4 5 6 What is the name of the film? Who is the director? Who are the main characters? Where is the film set? What is the film about? What is the best scene?

MODEL ANSWER MARK: I cant stand it anymore! NANCY: Is there a problem? MARK: Its Ben. He plays really loud music late at night and he also spends hours talking on the phone. NANCY: Hes very selfish. MARK: He also spends hours in the bathroom in the morning and he never does the washing up. Its not fair! NANCY: Hes really childish. MARK: And recently he has started wearing my clothes. It drives me mad! NANCY: Oh no! Hes so inconsiderate. MARK: I think I need to get a new flatmate. NANCY: I think so, too.

Strategy 2: Identifying idioms
An idiom is a phrase that exists in one language, but cannot be translated directly into another language. Spoken English uses lots of idioms. When you have a script to read, try to recognise idioms and guess what they mean in the context.

Tune in to Reading
Strategy 1: Using stage directions
Sometimes you read spoken English in scripts for plays and screenplays for films.

Read the dialogue from a radio script and look at the stage directions in brackets. Put the stage directions in two groups: 1 describing emotions 2 describing things that you do with your voice.

(Scene: Karen and Will are speaking on the phone.) Karen: Hi, Will. Its me, Karen. Will: (Pleased.) Hi, Karen. How are things? Karen: Great. I just wanted to tell you about the party last night. Will: Oh yeah, it was your sisters birthday party, wasnt it? Karen: (Enthusiastic.) Yeah. The party was great. We all went to a restaurant: The Ivy. Will: (Impressed.) Wow, lucky you. Its supposed to be great. What was the food like? Karen: Brilliant. Absolutely amazing. The ice cream birthday cake was incredible. Will: I bet. (Coughs.) Actually, I was thinking... Karen: Yeah, what? Will: (Pause.) Erm.... Karen: (Amused.) Yeah, what, Will? Carry on with what you were saying! Will: (Stutters.) Well, about The Ivy. Its just Ive always really wanted to go there. (Embarrassed.) So I was sort of wondering... erm Karen: What? Will: (Quickly.) Erm, if youd like to go there with me. Karen: Wow. Yeah. Id like to. Will: Really? Oh great. Karen: (Laughing.) Lets sort it out at school tomorrow. Will: Yeah, brilliant. See you tomorrow. Karen: Yeah, see you tomorrow.

Find idioms in the script in exercise 1 that mean the same as the following. 1 How are you? 2 You are very fortunate. 3 I am sure that is true. 4 Continue. 5 Organise it.

Strategy 3: Features of spoken English


Spoken English is not necessarily more informal than written English.

Read the conversation below and decide if the words in bold are examples of formal or informal language.

(Scene: In a dentists waiting room. A nervous-looking teenage girl is sitting waiting. She is holding her coat on her lap. The dentist enters: she is a woman in her forties.) Dentist: Hello, 1you must be Helen. Helen: Er, 2yeah, 3Im Helen. Dentist: 4Would you like me to take your coat? Helen: 5Thanks a lot. Er, 6can I get a drink of water? Dentist: Yes, 7please do. Now make yourself comfortable. This is your first visit to me, I think, Helen. Is that correct? Helen: Er, yeah, 8thats right. Dentist: Good. Well, today all 9I would like to do is take a quick look at your teeth and see if any work needs to be done. Therell be no injections or drills today, I promise. OK? Helen: (With relief.) Oh, great. 10Thats brilliant. Dentist: Right, 11would you like to follow me? Helen: 12Sure.

Ill be there for you!


Thats the song that started each episode of Friends. For 10 years, millions of fans followed the lives of Rachel, Ross, Monica, Phoebe, Chandler and Joey. In the first episode, aired on NBC television in 1994, Rachel leaves her fianc at the church. She says she cant stand the idea of marrying. She moves in with Monica, but finds out that life is hard without her Daddys financial help. In Episodes 2 and 3 we see the characters at home, watching TV and just hanging out. Monica cleans everything to impress her parents, Phoebe receives money from her bank thats not hers and Chandler starts smoking again. We also learn that Ross really likes Rachel, but cant tell her. Over the years audiences learnt that each character had a very particular personality. Rachel was the most glamorous, while Phoebe was fun, friendly and sometimes irrational. Ross was unreliable in relationships and his sister Monica was too organised and a bit obsessive. Chandler was the handsome, sarcastic guy and Joey was nice, but not very intelligent. In 2004 the programme finished in the US. In the last episode Ross and Rachel finally get together. Chandler and Monica have twins and name them Erica and Jack and then they move to the suburbs together.

A climbing accident
When I was younger I used to go climbing a lot. It was fantastic. My friends used to plan long holidays and we always went to the mountains together. One day something terrible happened. We took a train and went to Wales. We met a group of climbers there. We were walking in the mountains, when it started to rain. My parents had always warned me never to climb when it was raining. The other climbers shouted, lets go back! But I wanted to continue, so I ran ahead of the group. Everybody else went back, except my best friend John and I. We climbed onto a rock. There was another rock nearby. It didnt look very risky, so I did something really stupid. I decided to jump from one rock to the other. As I was running to jump off the rock, I fell. John had shouted to warn me that it wasnt safe, but I didnt listen to him. I was in hospital for four months with a broken leg. I felt so stupid about the accident.

After school I decided to study Marketing and Languages at university. Before I went to university, I decided to take a gap year abroad. I wanted to improve my English because its an important part of my course, so I decided to go to Ireland because I have some relatives in Dublin. I had never been away from home before so when the plane took off, I was very nervous. But I was also looking forward to a new adventure. I went to English classes during the day and worked as a waitress at night. I learnt a lot: talking to the customers and listening to their discussions. But when people spoke to me very fast, I couldnt understand what they were saying. At the weekends, I spent time with my cousins and my new friends. We went to bookshops, clothes shops and record shops in the city centre. At night we went out dancing. It was terrific. I have just come back and I recommend this experience to everybody.

Digital libraries
You may take after your parents and read the same books or visit the same libraries as they did. But maybe youll use a digital library to get your stories. Internet sites like Google and Million Book Project have been producing e-books for a while. Project Gutenberg and many universities have also been making books available on the internet since 1971. You can use a digital library in different ways. You can type a line from any chapter of a book. You will then get a list of all the books that have this line, or something similar. Or you can search for books by author, title or subject. With older books, its often possible to read the whole book. But with more recent books, sometimes you can only read a paragraph or a page for free and you need to pay a fee for the rest of the book. Digital libraries which are free often contain books from university libraries. They usually receive money from the government or from a private institution. Other digital libraries which charge a small fee are businesses. They make money through advertising. They show adverts relating to what you are looking for. Although they are just beginning, digital libraries are starting to take off as more and more people encounter them online.

A different type of diary


Bored with blogs? Depressed by more dull internet diaries? For something more exciting, you should take up writing a dream diary. What could be more thrilling than writing about the fantastic world of the unconscious? It transports us to exotic places, through time and space. In our dreams we can fly, speak languages, meet up with childhood friends, obtain supernatural powers, to name just a few examples. When you wake up, lie still and try to remember your dream. Then get up and write it down. This will help your memory and make it more difficult to forget what you dream about. The study of dreams is a relatively new science. As a result, its difficult to give true meaning to dreams. But if you read a dream diary over a period of time, you see that dream cycles emerge. Images repeat themselves and there are recurring themes. If you dont give up, its possible to understand a little bit more about who you are and what makes you work. Many creative people keep a dream diary. So give it a try. It could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship!

Heres how you can help


So, youre worried about the environment and you want to do something about it. Here are a few things you should try out. Stop pollution and waste, and help fight rubbish by getting a job in recycling. Local councils are employing more people to do this. Read all the information available and find out what job would be good for you. Maybe you could be a driver, collecting material for recycling. Or you could manage a recycling plant1. You wont make a lot of money, but you will be saving the planet. Become a campaigner! Get out in public and organise activities to help change things. Many companies are responsible for pollution in rivers and in the air, and campaigners spread the news about the companies and encourage people to take action. If campaigning is too political for you, there is always teaching. You can give courses or presentations about the dangers of the rising sea levels and flooding or show how hurricanes and tornados are also the result of global warming. Education sends a message to young people. If you are passionate about the environment and like communicating, this is an excellent way to help. So stop worrying, and start working. Make it your career or simply volunteer. Every little bit helps.

Beating cyber-bullying
Bullying is when one person or a group of people hurt or intimidate another. It is an old problem but with a new face. And the new face is called cyber-bullying. Cyber-bullying is intimidation using new technology. Examples of this are sending threatening or abusive text messages, video clips or pictures. The Anti-Bullying Alliance works in Britain to reduce bullying and create safer environments where children and young people can live, grow, play and learn. If victims feel safe, this will help them get over the bullying. Experts say this type of intimidation is sometimes much worse than traditional forms of bullying. The victim feels she or he cant get away from the bully, unless they throw their phone away. Fighting the cyber-bully is not always easy. Many times, the victims dont admit theyve been bullied. An organisation called Text Someone hopes to provide some solutions. They want to get the message across that you can stop the bully. They aim to encourage young people to report bullying. They have got into schools by using an internet service. This service gives students the power to report incidents of bullying twenty-four hours a day. Students can send a text message, email or voice message.

Next shouts the casting director. A woman waves her arms and screams, OK, lets go! The music and lights come on. A group of us jump gracefully onto the stage. In the front row of the theatre, the director and producer sit up quickly and take notes. This is my life. As a professional dancer, we are always auditioning for the next big production. This week Ive been in the Opera House at the auditions for Anthony Vebers new musical Tigers. Hundreds of singers, dancers and performers have turned up. Later I hear a journalist ask Mr Veber, the writer and director of Tigers, if the auditions are tough. Tough? Veber repeats. He grins, then reclines in his seat. Of course theyre tough, he replies. But only the best actors can be in my musicals. This is a huge production. We cant make any mistakes. And it takes a week of auditions just to find the most talented dancers. When I return to the stage, I am extremely nervous and fall on two of the other dancers. The casting director, Judy Bates, gives me a telling off. I apologise and ask for a second chance. Im sure I sound quite desperate. But Bates turns to me and shrugs. Im sorry, she says, we only take the best. The whole scene makes me feel a little ill. I cant believe I made such a silly mistake. You have to be almost perfect in these auditions. But a professional cant be put off by difficult auditions. As I leave the Tigers audition, I stop worrying about my mistake and I begin to feel a little better too.

Learning to ski

TERM TEST 1

Part One: READING COMPREHENSION

I first went on a foreign holiday with my parents when I was sixteen. We had arranged a two-week trip to Switzerland. For me the trip would be a life-changing experience. I grew up in Lincolnshire, a part of England which is almost completely flat, so when I arrived in the Alps it was the first time I had been in real mountains. It was great and very cold, minus fifteen degrees! My first view of snow-covered peaks will stay with me forever. I remember waking up in my hotel and waiting for the sun to come up because I wanted to be on the slopes. Luckily, I already knew how to ski because I had been learning in my local sports centre on an artificial slope. It wasnt glamorous, being in the ski club on wet Tuesday afternoons. But, actually, when I started skiing in the mountains, I found that my hours at the local club had really helped. Because my ski centre didnt have fabulous views or huge slopes, I had never been distracted by scenery or by trying to reach extreme speeds. Instead I had spent my time learning the fundamentals of the sport. This meant that slowly I had mastered the art of stopping, the manoeuvres, the techniques that you need in real life. Skiing can be risky if you dont know what youre doing. So when I was finally on the top of the mountain, I felt prepared. But as I was moving down the slope for the first time, with the snow under my skis, I knew that I had never felt anything like it before. The experience was incredible! I was hooked! When I came home from that first trip, I spent all my spare time learning to be a ski instructor. Although the training was expensive, it was worth it, because I knew that I wanted to live and work in the mountains. I had to be disciplined about studying because there was a lot to learn. However, I made it in the end and I now teach skiing to tourists in the French Alps. When people find out that I grew up in the flattest part of Britain, they are always amazed that I make my living as a ski instructor.
Answer the following questions, using information from the text. 1 The author was impatient to go skiing. What information in the text tells us this? 2 Name two things that the author learnt in his local ski centre. 3 Which of the following sentences summarises the fifth paragraph? a The author was not surprised at all by the experience of skiing on real snow. b The author was nervous about having real snow under his skis. c The author was amazed because skiing on real snow was so enjoyable. 4 Name two reasons why learning to become a ski instructor was difficult. 5 Join these sentences using the words given.

Books are big news in Spain

Part One: READING COMPREHENSION

In Spain books and reading are part of an exciting cultural calendar which everybody can enjoy. There are events all year round, with two of the biggest in Barcelona and Madrid. 23rd April is International Book Day. It is celebrated all over the world. This day was partly chosen because it is the anniversary of two of the most important writers in world literature: Miguel de Cervantes and William Shakespeare, who both died on this day. Although the festival was first celebrated in 1995, in Spain the day has a much older connection with books. This is because 23rd April is also Saint Georges Day, which is a major celebration in Catalonia. On this day men give a rose to their loved ones, who give them a book in return. It was the popularity of this tradition which helped UNESCO1 choose 23rd April as the official day to celebrate books. The Book Fair in Madrid is another interesting example of a festival which promotes books and reading. It was first celebrated in 1933, when many publishers had a small stall in one of the central avenues of the city. It later moved to the citys main park, The Retiro. Every year authors from around the world visit the book fair and thousands of book fans turn up to enjoy the occasion. There are still stalls, but today there are a lot more of them. The festival also includes special public events to promote reading and help people in poorer countries. For example, in 2001, a project called A Door to Culture was created. A huge metal structure was constructed in the centre of Madrid. This structure held up to 50,000 books which local people had donated. They were later sent to public libraries and schools in Central America and Colombia. This was a major demonstration of how passionate Spanish people are about books and reading. There are many similar festivals in Spain today. They show how we can encourage people to take up reading, and to continue reading. In a world dominated by TV and the internet, it means there is still reason for optimism about books.

Part One: READING COMPREHENSION

Experts have repeatedly warned us that we are running out of oil. This means that if alternative sources of energy are not found, we will probably end up with a global energy crisis. One of the possible energy alternatives is solar power: obtaining energy from the sun through special solar panels. The use of solar power became popular in the 1970s, but it was considered too expensive. Since then it has become a lot cheaper and it is now being used more in industry, as large companies like BP and Siemens have both entered the solar power market. In Murcia, Spain, a huge power plant will soon function using solar power. As solar power is becoming cheaper, it will become more visible in everyday life. For example, a solar-powered boat has been designed by Christoph Behling and one of his boats can be seen in London, where the Serpentine Solar Shuttle started operating this year. Experts forecast that solar power will continue to be used by designers like Behling in new and different ways. Individuals too are looking into putting solar panels in their homes. At the moment solar panels are most popular with people who live in the countryside, but there is a movement to bring solar power to towns and cities too. Sharp, the worlds top solar cell producer, have said that if every building in the UK had solar panels on its roof, this would generate more than the UKs current electricity consumption. That means gas, nuclear power or coal would not be needed. One problem is that solar panels are very expensive and this discourages people from using them. If you are not a homeowner, that doesnt mean youll be left out. Solar panels have been built into many new gadgets too. If youre feeling really trendy, why not try out a solar backpack? It costs about t200, with some versions specifically for skiers and snowboarders. The solar panels in the backpack are used to charge the batteries of other devices like MP3 players and mobile phones. And, if you like camping, youll be interested in a solar tent. The tent doesnt just charge batteries its solar panels also provide electric light inside. Sales in gadgets are expected to double over the next ten years and if the trend continues, more and more of these gadgets will be solar-powered. That means that you dont have to be a big corporation to help the environment.
Answer the following questions, using information from the text. 1 Mention three things that have changed in the use of solar power since the 1970s. 2 More people are using solar power at home and this generates a lot of power. Which information in the text tells us this? 3 Mention two features of the solar-powered gadgets that have appeared on the market. 4 Which of the following sentences summarises the final paragraph? a People will be more trendy in the future, but they will only want solar-powered gadgets. b People will be buying more gadgets and helping big corporations to save the environment. c People will be buying more gadgets and more gadgets will be available with environmentally friendly features. 5 Rewrite the following sentence using the words given. A solar-powered boat has been designed by Christoph Behling.

He is a travel advisor and uses some of these websites when he plans holidays with his friends. Tom, welcome to the programme. TOM: Thank you very much. PRESENTER: Tom, there are travel agencies in every city and small town. So, why are people using the internet to look for holidays? TOM: Well, travel agencies are generally very good. But people are looking for new and different types of holidays. The travel advisor websites are offering very original ways to travel. People can research these sites with their friends, from work or from home, so its very handy. PRESENTER: Why dont you tell us a few examples of the ones you use? TOM: You mentioned turnhere.com before. I usually use that one. They have a lot of videos of local tourist attractions, famous streets, restaurants and shops. So you can see the places before you set off on your trip, and get a good idea of what they might be like. Sometimes a photograph or an article is not enough. When you actually see a video, it can often be much more attractive. PRESENTER: Right. And what about the other website, tribewanted.com? What is that? TOM: Tribewanted is an online project.

Its possible to go to the island for one, two or three weeks only, depending on how much money you spend. PRESENTER: Right. And what do you like about it? About Tribewanted? TOM: This is a great idea for people who are looking for adventure. It is a new and ambitious project. Its about having fun, but also trying to have a positive effect on the place you visit. They want to promote responsible tourism. Its about helping the communities who live in the place you want to travel to. Its a really clever idea. PRESENTER: I see. There are so many different types of travel advisor websites. There seems to be one for every different type of person. Why is there so much choice? TOM: More young people are travelling than before. Their expectations have changed. Theyre interested in different locations. Maybe they have a hobby like climbing, canoeing or doing sport or yoga, so they want this to be part of the holiday as well. If a group of friends goes on holiday, maybe they want nightlife, but they may also have individual interests too. So the travel advisory websites realise that the consumer is asking for more. PRESENTER: What advice can you give our listeners if they want to use these websites? TOM: The best advice is to explore. Look at different websites: some are more reliable than others, so its possible that youll have to look around. And be patient because, as you say, theres a lot of choice. You might spend some time looking around, but eventually you will find something for you. PRESENTER: It sounds like things are going to change even more in the future. Tom Land, thanks a lot for talking to us today.

Term Test 2
PRESENTER: This morning well be talking with Eleanor Watts, who is a regular guest on the programme. Today, Eleanors going to tell us about palm reading. Palm readers look at the lines on the inside of peoples hands and claim to be able to say things about the persons future. Its not exactly a science, and to many its nonsense. But now it seems scientists will be using palm reading in the future. Can it be true? Eleanor will explain where palm reading started and shell also tell us how it has developed over time. Eleanor Watts, welcome back to the programme. ELEANOR: Thank you. Im delighted to be here. PRESENTER: First of all, Eleanor, you must tell us something about the history of palm reading, because we know it goes back a very long way, doesnt it? ELEANOR: Fortune-telling goes back a very long way. It is mentioned in the Bible. We know that palm reading itself was used by some Ancient Greek physicians, who used it for medical reasons. But it has also existed for a long time among Indian mystics. And its still quite popular today. PRESENTER: But come on! Nobody really believes the idea that a person can read your future by looking at your palm. ELEANOR: Predicting the future is a part of palm reading. This is called cold reading, and historically, it has been more important. Today, a lot of palm reading looks at a persons character, not at their future. A lot of people who criticise palm reading think its all about cold reading, which isnt really true. PRESENTER: What about the palm-reading interpretations we see in hundreds of magazines? ELEANOR: In my opinion, this is just entertainment. People read them, but Im not sure if they take them

very seriously. People are not taken in by it. You dont have to believe it, to enjoy it. PRESENTER: So palm reading is just a bit of fun? ELEANOR: It is. But interestingly, today many scientists are studying the palm. PRESENTER: Doctors are palm reading? ELEANOR: No. But doctors are looking at the hands to learn about peoples future health. PRESENTER: Really? ELEANOR: Yes. There have been some studies which show that it can be useful. Recently a British medical team suggested that by measuring someones palm, you could see if the person has a tendency to have high blood pressure. PRESENTER: High blood pressure. Anything else? ELEANOR: Yes. One British doctor, Dr Graham Archard, says there are a lot of things which we can learn from the hand. The colour in parts of the hand or behind the fingernail can indicate if someone is anaemic. PRESENTER: I see. ELEANOR: Some other research suggests that there might be a connection between specific fingerprint patterns and heart problems. However, this is a new area of study. PRESENTER: So youre saying that there might be a modern science of palm reading? ELEANOR: Something like that! But even the doctors who worked in these studies say that more investigation is going to be needed. They have to study this area more. PRESENTER: Its all very interesting. Well, thats all we have time for. Eleanor, thanks again for coming in to talk to us. ELEANOR: My pleasure.

Term Test 3
PRESENTER: Today were talking about Shakespeare in schools. I remember the first time I studied Shakespeare. Talk about boring! It wasnt until I saw his plays performed at university that I understood what Romeo and Juliet and Macbeth were really about. I remember thinking, if I had seen that at school, I would have understood a lot more. Well, it looks like schools have got over the problem. The Shakespeare Schools Festival started in 2000 with eight schools. Six years later, there are 1,200 schools in the UK taking part in the festival and over 25,000 students involved. Our guests today have both participated in the festival. Lindsey Kearns is a teacher who has directed students in several plays, and Josh Reeves is a student who has acted in the festival. Lindsey, Josh, welcome to the show. LINDSEY: Thank you. JOSH: Thanks a lot. PRESENTER: Lindsey, how does the festival work, then? LINDSEY: The festival is open to every secondary school and youth theatre in Great Britain. Students between the ages of eleven and sixteen perform the plays in their local professional theatre for a week in February. PRESENTER: What plays are usually performed?

LINDSEY: Hamlet and Henry V have been done at my school. Then there are the plays you mentioned before, Macbeth or Romeo and Juliet. Theyre also performed by a lot of schools. But there are fifteen abridged Shakespeare plays that schools can choose. PRESENTER: How do the schools prepare the production? LINDSEY: In September the teachers attend a Directors Master Class with professionals. PRESENTER: Did you go on this course? LINDSEY: Oh yes. It was excellent. If I hadnt been on the Master Class, I wouldnt have known where to begin. PRESENTER: So that course gives the teachers some help. Is there professional help for the students too? LINDSEY: In January the casts receive a half-day workshop. The workshops are designed to prepare the casts for their performance. PRESENTER: What happens on the day of the performance? LINDSEY: Four schools each perform a different, half-hour Shakespeare play at the same theatre. Parents, colleagues, schoolchildren and the general public turn up to see the shows. At the end of the evening, all the casts are invited back on stage for professional feedback on their show. PRESENTER: What do the students think of the festival? LINDSEY: My students have always worked really hard and done a great show. Theyve never let me down. I teach in a deprived area of London. The students at the school have fewer opportunities than other young people. Students have told me that acting in the plays helped them gain confidence. When I asked them if the festival helped them understand Shakespeare more, the answer was a big yes. Its a great way to educate students. PRESENTER: Josh, youve been in the festival a few times. Would you agree with what Lindsey says? JOSH: Definitely. I think Lindsey forgot to say that the festival is also great fun. Ive made some great friends from acting in it. If I hadnt been in the play, Id never have met them. And there were all types of people too, from all backgrounds, which was great. Its so diverse. PRESENTER: Josh, you are not actually part of the Shakespeare Schools Festival any more because youre seventeen. Are you still performing now? JOSH: Yes, I am. The schools festival was so successful that theres now a Shakespeare Youth Festival. This is for sixteen-to nineteen-year-olds and the students have complete control. They set up their own theatre company and prepare a forty-five minute production. About 400 companies have been set up and the best twenty productions will represent the festival in the Liverpool City of Culture celebrations. If our school wins, well ring you up and invite you to Liverpool to see the show. PRESENTER: Well I cant wait to see the results. Josh and Lindsey, I think theyre both wonderful festivals, and I only wish theyd been around when I was at school. And, if you enjoyed todays show, remember that Lindsey and Josh will be coming back to the show in a few weeks.

Writing
Model answer I think reading is really important for children and young people. I believe it is essential for two reasons. Firstly, reading helps them to learn new vocabulary and understand grammar. What is more, it also teaches children to understand ideas and arguments. Secondly, reading is a great hobby. Books can tell you about new people and different countries. Reading helps you learn about the world and it is great fun too. Besides, it is a hobby that stays with you for your whole life. In conclusion, I would say that reading is one of the best ways to educate children and young people.

1 Any three of the following: solar power has become a lot cheaper. It is now used more in industry and large companies like BP and Siemens have both entered the solar power market. In Murcia, Spain, a huge power plant will soon function using solar power. It is also becoming more visible in everyday life. 2 There is a movement to bring solar power to towns and cities too. Sharp, the worlds top solar cell producer, have said that if every building in the UK had solar panels on its roof, this would generate more than the UKs current electricity consumption. That means gas, nuclear power or coal would not be needed. 3 The solar panels in the backpack are used to charge the batteries of other devices like MP3 players and mobile phones. The solar tent provides electric light inside. 4 c 5 Christoph Behling has designed a solarpowered boat. 6 a warned d looking into b huge e left out c forecast f try out

Model answer TEACHER: Is solar power really important? STUDENT: Yes, it is. There is a problem with oil. Its running out and we need to replace it. TEACHER: But how can we use solar power? STUDENT: If everyone puts a solar panel on their house, it will provide enough power for the whole country. TEACHER: Arent solar panels expensive? STUDENT: Yes, but if you buy solar panels, you wont need to pay for electricity ever again! All your electricity will be free. TEACHER: But everyone has to put a panel on their house? STUDENT: No, we could build solar power stations instead. One is being built in Murcia at the moment.
