11. While the population of Europe and America is growing older , those in (DEVELOP) countries are

becoming younger. In the non-Western world, (PARTICULAR) India, China and Brazil there is a

new generation of teenagers (GROW) up. These young peoples tastes are influencing
(CONSUME) habits in our world today.
12.

13. In terms of language , English is dominant throughout the world. It is a way with which teenagers across the

world can communicate with each other and share a common culture. The (EXIST) of graffiti
written in English in so many countries is one example of this.
14.

15. The (STRONG) force in international youth culture today is pop music. It has a
(UNIVERSE) appeal and is driven by pop music stations like MTV and others. They broadcast pop music to every
corner of our planet, and while most of the music is English, kids from all over the world learn to sing English
too.

16. Youngsters these days can communicate online with friends in (DISTANCE) places . In fact, a
teenager in India may feel they have more in common with an Internet friend in Brazil than with other young

17.

18. There may be a greater (READY) to learn a foreign language on the streets of cyberspace than in a

a small town in the Netherlands but he is right in the centre of a major trend. He feels he is (EXACT)

in tune with all of his (SEEN) friends.


21.

22. Many companies say they are trying to create a youth agenda to unite teenagers around the world. Such an

agenda includes an (AWARE) of the global environment and human rights. Benetton, for
example, says teenagers do not always conform to the same style. Thus, those who wear the united colours

of Benetton are encouraged to celebrate together their individual and (CULTURE) difference.

23. I am quite sure I wouldn't like to have an (OCCUPY) that has anything to do with

physics, (CHEMIST) or maths. I am not the (SCIENCE) type at all. In school I was a

complete (FAIL) in the mentioned subjects. I am not very good at (DEAL) with people
either, nor am I very (AMBITION). Jobs in business, (ADMINISTRATE)

and (MANAGE) do not really interest me. In (ADD), I find it rather


(IRRITATE) to be surrounded by many people.
24.

25. I would rather see myself in a job involving (CREATE) work or (ART) skills of some sort. I'd

like to have the opportunity to work outdoors (OCCASION) and perhaps do some

We live in a new (RESIDENT) area in the suburbs of London. It is a quiet (NEIGHBOUR) ,

which is a great change after living in one of the (NOISE) parts of London for years. The house is set in

beautiful (SURROUND) , but there is one major (ENVIRONMENT) problem: a chemical

factory a few miles away in the (INDUSTRY) zone. (FORTUNATE), the waste from the

factory has been causing serious (POLLUTE) of the atmosphere and the Thames River.

Another (ADVANTAGE) is the night life , which doesn't exist. If you want any

(ENTERTAIN) you have to drive into (CENTRE) London, where you have the (DIFFICULT) of
finding a (SUIT) parking space. (LUCK) , it is only a five-minute walk to the nearest
(GROUND) station, which then takes me directly to Oxford Circus.

Hawaii is one of the most (FASCINATE) places in the world to get a clear view of the night sky. This is

because of the island's (GEOGRAPHY) setting. Because it is a (MOUNTAIN) area in the

middle of the ocean, Hawaii is much less affected by light (POLLUTE) than other parts of the world.

(FORTUNE), tourists are allowed to go to the top of the volcano,known as Mauna Kea, where the view is

even more (IMPRESS). The volcano rises to a (HIGH) of over 4000 metres and gives visitors

an (INTERRUPT) view of the night sky. It is also the (LOCATE) for the world's most
(POWER) telescopes.

The telescopes at WM Keck Observatory have been credited with the (DISCOVER) of about 40 new planets

memory for the project I'm working on at the moment. In most (OCCUPY) nowadays , it is becoming useful

admit I do not get much (PLEASE) out of sitting in front of a computer screen for hours, but I don't stand

much chance of (PROMOTE) without computer skills. So I made an (APPOINT) to see my


bargain computer the next day.

Pythagoras was a (PHILOSOPHY) born on the Aegean island of Samos. He was known as a

great (MATHEMATICS) who has received (ADMIRE) for over 2000 years. As a young man he

travelled a lot and was (GREAT) influenced by some (REMARK) ideas he came across in Egypt and
Babylon.

Over time, he made (EXTEND) mathematical (INVESTIGATE) , which included "Pythagoras'

Theorem" , a great (DISCOVER) stating that the square of the hypotenuse of a right angled triangle is equal

to the sum of the squares. In (ADD), Pythagoras was one of the earliest (SCIENCE) to suggest

that the earth was a sphere (REVOLVE) around a central fire. Without doubt, his
(CONTRIBUTE) to the scientific world will always be acknowledged.

Many people , maybe even the (MAJOR) are not particularly happy in their job. They go to work and get

paid. (EMPLOY) for them is just a way of paying the bills. This leads to (LAZY) at work and

unhappy workers often don't show enough (POLITE) to customers or (KIND) to their fellow

workers. Many workers feel that they have no chance of (PROMOTE) and they are unhappy with

the (WORK) conditions.

If you want to get (ENJOY) from your work, make sure that involves doing an (ACTIVE) that you

like. Ask yourself whether the job will have the same (ATTRACT) after five years. A (CARE)

now can save you a lot of (HAPPY) in the future.

Three or four cups of coffee a day may not sound (EXCESS) , yet some of the minor symptoms many of us experience

(like headaches , indigestion or high blood (PRESS) ) may be related to caffeine (TAKE). A cup of real coffee

contains about 100 mg of caffeine . It stimulates the (NERVE) system , heart and kidneys . Heavy coffee

(CONSUME) is likely to produce a general (FEEL) of anxiety.

The effects that caffeine has on the human body depends to some extent on personality and (PSYCHOLOGY)

factors. People, for example , who take tranquillizers are often (SENSE) to caffeine. Drinking more coffee only makes
their symptoms worse.

The long-term dangers of caffeine - such as cancer and heart disease - have been the subject of much debate , but a recent study

has found no significant association between coffee consumption and any major cause of (DEAD).

However, it might be worthwhile , trying to find out if caffeine is responsible for minor (ILL) by gradually
(REDUCE) the coffee intake. Switching to tea does not help much because tea also contains caffeine. The same applies to cocoa

and cola drinks. (CAFFEIN) coffee is not the answer either because it tends to have a greater effect on your

stomach, causing (DIGEST) and diarrhoea.

(HERB) teas, which contain low levels of caffeine, fruit juices and plenty of water are the best substitutes. Also watch out
for caffeine in painkillers and in cold remedies; you could end up ingesting several hundred milligrams of caffeine a day without

even (REALISE) it.

One thing that people get from their (OCCUPY) is, of course, money. Most people wouldnt do the job they do if it

wasnt for the pay at the end of each day, week or month. However, the (MAJOR) of people want more than just a good

salary. There are many other things which add up to job (SATISFY) , the feeling of (ENJOY) you get

from doing a job that makes you happy. What people in (EMPLOY) want from a job varies (GREAT) from
person to person.
For some, the chances of (PROMOTE) make a big difference. For others, working in a (CREATE)
environment with other people makes them happier than they would be working alone. When planning your career, you should

consider all the (ACTIVE) involved in a job and decide how each one suits your (PERSON) . If youre

considering becoming a (JOURNAL) , for example, do you like meeting members of the public? If you're thinking of

becoming an (ACCOUNT) do you enjoy detailed work with numbers? Just because one job is better paid than
another, it doesnt mean it's the job for you.
