Introduction

This Introduction contains the following sections:
The main aim of Hello! English for Secondary Schools Year Two is to further equip
students of secondary school age with the necessary language, thinking and study skills
to communicate effectively and understand competently spoken and written English.
It aims to give students the necessary experience and confidence to apply these skills
both inside and outside the classroom and beyond school in their current and future
lives. New language, skills and topics are introduced gradually and practised thoroughly,
so that students have the chance to learn and use the language before they move on.
Critical thinking skills and awareness of strategies to improve language and learning
skills support the learning of the language and contribute to the development of a more
autonomous learner.
The approach
The course uses a standards-based communicative approach and methodology for
the teaching and learning of English. Students are presented with interesting topics
and meaningful situations to help them to progress in their secondary-level language
skills. They use and integrate the four language skills (listening, speaking, reading and
writing) in meaningful contexts and undertake realistic language tasks which they would
potentially undertake in future academic, professional or vocational situations. To do
this effectively, student-to-student interaction in class is necessary. Students need to
speak and work together cooperatively when asked, they need to help each other when
directed, and they need to develop a sense of independence and responsibility for their
own learning. Therefore they will need to be able to work together in pairs, as well as in
groups, and work on their own or as a whole class.
The course is standards-based and it aims to fulfil the standards set out in the Ministry
of Education Standards Document. It aims to assist students in the process of reaching
certain proficiency, behavioural and civic goals, not only in the English language, but in
the day-to-day interactions which they encounter all their lives.
Because students are expected to acquire tools and not simply ingest rules, standards
are valuable and effective supports for good learning. This is because they express clear
expectations for what all students should know and be able to do. Teachers become
aware that language is a means by which students achieve wider goals, and is not an end
in itself. In this context, rote learning as a framework for linguistic progress becomes

ineffective because it is insufficient to help students to achieve those wider educational
standards.
When teachers apply standards-based curricula, language learning is more purposeful
and practical than in most other forms of curricula. Standards communicate shared
expectations for learning and provide a common language for talking about the process
of learning and teaching. As a result, community leaders and business people become
more effective partners in, and monitors of, young peoples education.

Hello! English for Secondary Schools Year Two is a newly revised course for secondary
schools in Egypt that takes into account individual developments and their educational
context.
Extending learners linguistic knowledge
The course develops and extends the language and skills which students acquired
through Hello! English for Secondary Schools Year One. Previous structures, lexis and
functions are built on and enriched. In the first units of the new materials, students are
helped to make the transition from the previous level by recycling previously studied
language and structures in a new context with even more mature content. This approach
is continued and intensified through succeeding units, and more new language, skills,
structures, functions, tasks and activities are brought in to add to and deepen learners
linguistic knowledge and skills.

Taking account of learner development
These materials were developed with secondary-age students in mind. Topics were
chosen to appeal to learners
developing physical and emotional identity
developing awareness of the self as an individual
interest and engagement in the world beyond the home and classroom
positive desire to make the world a better place
transition to greater maturity
increasing intellectual and emotional independence
need for positive models of behaviour and achievement.
Pointing learners towards the right direction
Activities, skills and tasks in the materials are designed to channel students developing
intellectual abilities and personalities towards
acquiring a solid knowledge of the linguistic systems of English
regularly consolidating and recycling knowledge and skills in new situations
using language in purposeful, realistic and meaningful contexts
fostering the ability to think logically, critically and constructively about a range
of topics
developing a sense of responsibility for acquiring language for themselves in
contrast to expecting teachers to do this work for them
acquiring the knowledge, skills, strategies and attitudes which underpin and
make possible learner independence
broadening their abilities to cooperate in acquiring language
broadening their awareness of educational and civic roles and responsibilities.
Taking into account individual differences in learning styles
Learners have individual differences in the way they approach learning new subjects.
These differences can be summarised in terms of visual, auditory and tactile learners.
Visual learners generally need to see things in order to fully understand them. They tend
to think in pictures and learn best from visual displays such as diagrams, illustrated text
books and charts. During a lecture or classroom discussion, visual learners often prefer
to write things down.
Auditory learners learn through listening. They learn best through discussions, talking
things through and listening to what others have to say. Written information may have
little meaning until it is heard. These learners often benefit from reading text aloud and
using a tape recorder.
Introduction
4
Tactile learners learn through a hands-on style. They explore the world around them.
They tend to touch things, make things, fit things together or take them apart. They may
find it hard to sit still and may seem distracted by their need for activity and exploration.
Hello! English for Secondary Schools Year Two makes provision for differences in
learning styles by including
a variety of exercise types and activities which appeal to different learning styles
various strategies for making learning apparent and accessible
comprehensive teaching notes with suggestions on how to present and extend
learning.
In the communicative classroom, a teacher has many roles. Below are ten roles a teacher
may perform each time he or she teaches using a communicative approach.
Planner: The teacher decides on the aims and anticipated outcomes of each lesson
in order to decide what is taught, how it is taught, and what equipment and
materials will be needed in the lesson.
Instructor: The teacher introduces the language to be learnt, gives instructions to
students, and decides what language and activities need to be practised.
Language model: The teacher provides a model of spoken and written English for
students, especially when new language is presented and practised.
Manager: The teacher organises the class in order to Iulfl the diIIerent activity
requirements. Sometimes this may mean putting learners into pairs or groups.
Controller: The teacher controls the pace and content of a lesson and the behaviour and
discipline of the students.
Decision maker: The teacher decides what activities students will engage in, which
students to ask questions to and how long each activity should last.
Advisor: The teacher monitors the progress of the class, deciding how learners are
perIorming and what extra input should be given, such as Iurther clarifcation
of the task or extra examples of language items.
Monitor: When the students are working individually, in pairs or in groups, the teacher
moves from group to group helping students or correcting mistakes.
Personal tutor: The teacher identifes individual students` areas oI diIfculty and fnds
ways of helping them.
THE ROLE OF THE TEACHER
Introduction
5
Assessor: At different points in a class the teacher may observe the performance and
progress of particular students with a view to awarding ongoing assessment
marks or marks for participation.
Teaching a communicative course
As previously noted, a communicative course imposes a number of different roles on
how you teach, depending on what you are teaching and at which stage you are in a
lesson. The next part discusses some recurring themes which emerge while teaching a
communicative course.
Preparation, planning and monitoring
As a teacher, you can make teaching and learning as effective and enjoyable as possible
at the beginning of the year by:
getting to know the course materials very well by reading them through in
advance
planning the academic year
getting to know individual students names
making sure you have any important information about students.
As the academic year progresses, regular time and effort will be needed to:
prepare individual lessons
learn new teaching methods, techniques and activities
refect on successes and constraints in the classroom
discuss teaching with colleagues
mark students written work
monitor individual students and assess their progress.
Using the course cassette
Always make sure that you wind the cassette to the correct section for your lesson before
your lesson actually starts.
If your cassette recorder has a counter, set it at zero each time before you play the
cassette. Then you will be able to find the correct place easily again when you have
played the cassette and need to repeat it.
Using your own initiative
The lesson notes in the Teachers Guide can provide a useful framework for presenting
the students learning materials. The notes are carefully thought out and well organised.
They should be read before a lesson and provide you with a valuable tool to help in your
teaching.
Introduction
6
Lesson notes can add to your skill and judgement as an individual teacher, but they
cannot replace them. The lesson notes here should not discourage you from using your
own initiative as a teacher with a unique knowledge of the needs and characteristics of
your own students.
Classroom language: mother tongue or English?
This is a widely debated topic, and teachers choose to take different approaches about
when to use the mother tongue. For example, in which language should you
give instructions
advise students
praise them
explain grammar
monitor understanding?
It is an area of foreign language teaching that has to be considered, and judgements have
to be made by individual teachers. They sometimes face a dilemma. Teachers wish to
maximise opportunities for students to hear and use English. At the same time they also
deal with different levels of ability and wish to ensure that as many students as possible
participate in a lesson. It is also generally agreed that the classroom situation provides
the natural context for the meaningful and repeated use of language, and the opportunity
to use English for these should not be missed. Also, as the classroom provides many
students with their only exposure to English, it should be used as much as possible,
except where learning will be impeded by its use.
Other considerations
Make sure that learners understand the rubrics in their books and make use of this language
when giving instructions for an activity. When setting up pair work and group work, use
the same instructions each lesson so that students become familiar with them.
Classroom management
The class can be organised in different ways according to the activity being taught at
different times of the lesson. This will be indicated in the detailed notes for each unit.
Teachers are encouraged to invest time and effort in training their classes to change from
one format to another in an effcient way.
Whole-class
For whole-class work, all the students face the teacher. This is useful when introducing
new language, using the board to teach new vocabulary, structures or writing patterns, or
introducing a new topic.
Individual students working alone
Students work on their own to complete a task. This is useful for simple tasks such as
paragraph writing, writing answers to questions, listening and note taking, and some
reading tasks.
Introduction
7
Pair work
Students work with a partner to complete tasks. This gives essential practice of oral
skills such as when learners engage in discussion activities, exchange ideas and opinions,
or complete exercises which involve exchanging information. It is a very natural form of
communication. It can also be used in activities when students need to help each other,
for example with planning writing tasks.
For some kinds of pair work, for example in controlled practice or when getting students
to model new language, students should first work in closed pairs before working in
open pairs.
Group work
Students work in groups of four or more to complete tasks. This allows an opportunity
for cooperative learning and for speaking in natural situations.
Cooperation
Students should be encouraged to help each other as much as possible. Research shows
that where students help each other, everyone learns better, both the faster and the slower
learners.
/DQJXDJHDFFXUDF\RUODQJXDJHXHQF\"
When teaching a communicative course, you have to decide whether to focus on
language accuracy or language fluency. When learning and practising speaking English,
we want students to speak accurately and correctly, but we also want them to speak
naturally and at a reasonable speed. These two things can contradict each other. If a
student is trying to structure a sentence correctly, trying to remember vocabulary and
trying to pronounce words carefully, he or she might hesitate and speak slowly to give
lots of thinking time. Conversely, if a student is interested in what he or she is saying and
speaking quickly, then the number of language errors will probably increase. Generally,
try to balance accuracy and fluency. When practising and presenting new language, it
is perhaps more important to stress accuracy. During oral activities when students are
making use of language in a more life-like activity, you should stress fluency more, and
be prepared to tolerate errors more (and intervene in the lesson less!). In this way you
encourage students to be more responsible for their own learning.
Correcting mistakes
It is important to vary how and when you correct (and indeed sometimes if you correct)
work according to the kind of activity and the stage of the lesson. The important thing
is to maintain students enthusiasm to speak while at the same time helping them to
improve. One consideration is to vary how you correct mistakes. Do not always be
the source of corrections yourself. Highlight errors sometimes and give students or
their peers the opportunity to correct their own work. Another approach might be to
note consistent mistakes, and correct them the next time you review the language, for
example.

THE COURSE COMPONENTS
Introduction

New language is introduced in the context of a series of subjects and themes which
engage the attention of the learners and which are a worthwhile and lasting contribution
to learners broader intellectual and moral education.
For authenticity and appeal, past and present Egyptian and international personalities
with whom students can identify and through whose achievements they can be inspired
are used in the materials.
Photographs, graphics and life-like illustrations are used to contribute to an attractive
and colourful design which will appeal to the maturity of students of this age.
The first page of each main unit starts with a box which summarises the objectives of
the unit for the students and gives teachers an opportunity to outline the structures and
functions contained in the unit. The objectives box gives students a useful checklist
against which to monitor their progress at the end of a unit and to help them as they
come to revise for their end-of-year examinations.
All units cover the four language skills listening, speaking, reading and writing
and practise many key sub-skills such as reading for the main ideas of a text, listening
to identify the purpose of an oral text, and note taking.
All units contain tasks which, by their variety, take into account different learning styles
and which encourage students to develop independent learning strategies and habits and
critical thinking skills.
There are also supplementary grammar units at the end of the book. These highlight key
structures introduced in the book and act as an aid to revision. The individual sections of
the Grammar Review are highlighted in the unit colours to show the correlation between
the unit being studied and the relevant section of grammar.
Unit format and content
Each main unit contains five pages, each of which fulfils a different function.
Each five-page main unit in the Students Book is complemented by a four-page unit
in the Workbook. The first, second, third and fifth Students Book pages are always
accompanied by a corresponding page in the Workbook.
With its unit objectives box, mentioned above, the first page of a main unit sets the scene
for the whole unit and presents a listening activity. It also contains discussion or pair
work activities to start students thinking about the unit topic.
The second page, the Language Focus, concentrates on the structural content of the unit
and contains activities to present and practise target language.
The third page concentrates on Reading. It develops both the content of the unit and
students reading skills.
Introduction
10
The fourth page develops Critical Thinking skills. It is designed to encourage students to
think for themselves. It contains activities which encourage students to think about the
topic and practise language which will help to express their ideas.
The final page concentrates on Communication and develops students skills in talking
or writing about a topic in English. The Communication pages encourage students to
become more independent learners.
In this course, three of the Communication pages (from Units 4, 10 and 18) feature a
project. Each project is designed to encourage students to work together effectively and
come to decisions as a team. Each project is related to the units topic and encourages
students to use the language from the unit. Each project is extended upon in the
corresponding Workbook page.
After each group of three main units are the Review Units. These also have five pages.
They are designed to revise and consolidate the language learnt in the preceding three
units. They can also be used as an additional tool to assess the progress of the students
and identify any extra work that needs to be done on a particular language element.
2 The Workbook
The Workbook is intended to accompany the
Students Book, reinforcing the language and
grammatical structures that students have already
met. The purpose of the Workbook is therefore
primarily to consolidate language presented
in the Students Book and to provide students
with extra practice in reading, writing and
manipulating known language.
The general aims of the Workbook are to
practise and consolidate vocabulary
practise and consolidate word
derivations and families
practise and consolidate grammatical
structures
encourage and facilitate the use of a
dictionary
give opportunities to review recent
language
consolidate reading skills
encourage and consolidate thinking and discussion skills
develop students abilities to plan, write and proofread short texts.
Format and content
In order to correspond with the Students Book, there are 18 core units and a Review
Unit after every third unit, giving a total of 24 units in all. However as there are five

Ministry of Education
Book Sector
Introduction
11
pages in the Students Book and four pages in the Workbook, only four pages of the
Students Book will be complemented by a Workbook page.
Workbook exercises are designed for use in class as a follow-up to the Students
Book lesson. They can be started in class and then given to students to complete for
homework. The core units of the Workbook are not intended to test the students, but to
give them an opportunity to use and consolidate what they have learnt and so to feel a
sense of achievement, progress and confidence.
In the middle and at the end of the book, there are three Practice Tests, set according to
the specifications of the GSEC Examination. These Practice Tests not only indicate how
well students are progressing, but also prepare students for the examination they will sit
at the end of the year.
Unit format and content
Each unit, including Review Units, contains four pages to complement lessons one, two,
three and five of the Students Book.
Each unit of the Workbook includes tasks and activities which students should find
stimulating, challenging and motivating. These include
a variety of grammar practice exercises
a selection of different types of short reading texts
a variety of writing tasks and activities
dictionary exercises, word squares and crossword puzzles
pictures, photographs and topics to comment on and discuss.
The Review Units differ from those found in the Students Book as they follow the
format of the Practice Tests. Like the Practice Tests, they are specifically designed to
allow students to become more familiar with the testing format and content structure
of the GSEC Examination before students sit the exam at the end of the course. During
these tests it is more beneficial for the student to work alone and remain silent.
3 The Course Cassette
The cassette contains recorded dialogues and listening texts
from the Students Book and Workbook. Full tapescripts are
included in the Teachers Guide within the lesson notes.
4 A CD-ROM
The CD-ROM encourages revision outside the classroom,
through specifically designed activities and exercises. All the
exercises are directly related to key topics in the Students
Book and practise language functions, vocabulary, grammar
and reading. With the aid of the CD-ROM, students are able
to consolidate all aspects of the material presented in the
Students Book and Workbook.

5 The Website
The website (www.longmansec.com.eg) is a new feature that provides support material
for teachers and students. It also encourages students to practise their computer and
internet skills. There is a Question & Answer section for everyone. The Teachers section
contains all recorded material, the Teachers Guide, and other materials and links to
other resources. The Students section contains new exercises for revision and practice
tests.
6 The Reader: The Spiders
The course Reader provides an excellent opportunity for students
to develop the habit of independent extensive reading in English.
The importance of fostering extended reading at this level cannot
be overemphasised, and the additional material provided in the
Reader enables the student to engage in such quality reading.
Students should be reminded at regular intervals to make use of
this resource.
The questions included in the Reader provide a means of
focusing and assisting students reading and of monitoring their
progress during the pre-reading, while-reading and post-reading process.
In accordance with the Test Specifications for the GSEC Examination, students will
be asked questions to test their understanding of plot, incident and character in the
prescribed Reader.
7 The Teachers Guide
Book format and content
The book begins with a scope and sequence table which
summarises the language content of the course, unit by unit, and
a general introduction to the course which includes a background
to the methodological approach, descriptions of the published
materials, and notes about useful and effective techniques and
activities.
The main part of the guide consists of detailed notes on how to
exploit the material and tasks presented in the Students Book
and Workbook effectively.
The Teachers Guide contains the answer keys to the Practice Tests which are located in
the Workbook.
At the end of the book, there is a word list which lists the words with the units in which
they first occur, and a glossary which contains words and phrases used in the Teachers
Guide and their Arabic (contextual) translation.

Ongoing assessment
Together, the Review Units and the Practice Tests facilitate ongoing assessment of the
students within the classroom and also prepare them for their end-of-year examination.
The Workbook Review Units, which follow the test style and format of the GSEC
Examination, enable teachers to gauge the students progress and to identify any areas of
difficulty that may need extra teaching input. The Practice Tests also follow the style and
format of the GSEC Examination and can be given under test conditions, when students
work on their own and without books. Ensure that the students are facing the front of
the classroom and ask them to remain silent. At the end of the task, collect and mark the
students work. You can record their marks in a mark book.
Individual difficulties can be dealt with by talking with the student, or setting individual
exercises which may improve his or her confidence. Talk positively to the students even
about their mistakes. Show them that we learn through making mistakes!

4 Go through the answers with the students.
T A P E S C R I P T
Female radio presenter:
You may already know the story of Gullivers Travels,
but how much do you know about its author, Jonathan
Swift? Do you know where and when he was born and
what he did as well as being an important writer? In
this talk you will nd the answers to these questions and
more from todays guest, Professor James Smith.
Professor Smith:
Thank you. Well, lets start at the beginning. Jonathan
Swift was born in 1667 in Dublin, Ireland, when that
country belonged to England. His father, who died
before Jonathan was born, was Irish and his mother was
English. Although he spent his early years in England,
he returned to Ireland to go to school and university.
He found work in England as a secretary to a retired
diplomat. While he was working as a secretary, Swift
started to write. He later had other jobs, working as
DSROLWLFLDQDQGDFKXUFKPDQDQGKHQDOO\JRWDQ
important job at St Patricks Cathedral in Dublin.
In 1726, Gullivers Travels was published and became
a great success. Different people have different
explanations for this. To some it was an imaginative
childrens story, to others it was a clever commentary
on the politics of the day. Some people today see it as
the rst science ction novel. In my opinion, the book
succeeds because it has these different meanings.
Jonathan Swift wrote other books, but none were as
successful as Gullivers Travels. Jonathan Swift died in
1745.
If youre interested in knowing more about the author
of Gullivers Travels, I have a list of web pages you can
look at.

After a storm at sea, Lemuel Gulliver, a
ships doctor, is shipwrecked on the island
of Lilliput. The people of Lilliput are only
15 centimetres tall so they think Gulliver
is a giant sent by their enemies from the
neighbouring island of Belfusco. They are
frightened, so they capture him and tie him
to the ground to stop him from escaping.
Gulliver tells the people his story and
promises to help them in their fght against
Belfusco. He soon becomes a favourite of
the king. Gulliver then helps them to beat
their enemies by stealing all their ships, but
he does not agree with the idea of punishing
the people of the island. This makes the king
angry and he decides that Gulliver must die.
Luckily, a friend helps Gulliver to escape to
Belfusco and he sails home.

difference in character between Gulliver and the
King of Lilliput?
b Why do you think Gulliver does not agree
with the idea of punishing the people of the
neighbouring island after they have been beaten?
c What is Swifts message in this story?
Gulliver then helps them to beat the people
of Belfusco by stealing all their ships, but
he does not agree with the idea of punishing
the people of the island. This makes the king
angry and he decides that Gulliver must die.

Discuss this question in pairs.
Disagreeing about whether to break a boiled egg at the big end or the small end is an example
of a ridiculous argument. What other ridiculous subjects do people sometimes argue about?
In the story of Gulliver in Lilliput, Jonathan
Swift is making fun of European politics.
The war between the islands represents the
war between old enemies within Europe.
Swift also makes fun of the ridiculous things
politicians argue about. He shows this by
giving the people of Lilliput small minds as
well as small bodies. In the story, they cannot
agree about whether you should break a
boiled egg at the big end or the small end.
On his second voyage, Gulliver sails to
Brobdingnag, where the people are 18 metres
tall. He has more exciting adventures. Only
this time, Gulliver feels very small.

buy it?
Omar: I got it from a shop in town. I was really
pleased with it, until later. Last night, while I
was surhng the internet, I founa the camera was
much cheaper to buy online less than half the
price I had paid for it, even though I paid in
cash.
Ali: Really? I know you can get some really good
bargains on the internet, but thats incredible,
Omar!
Hany: Yes, Ali. My father used to go into town every
week, but now he doesnt have time to go
shopping. Now he buys lots of things online.
Hes often told me to look on the internet
because things are often less expensive online.
Ali: The problem is that you have to have a credit
card or a debit card to buy things from the
internet and you cant get one until you are an
adult.
Hany: My father sometimes buys things for me online
with his card.
Omar: Well, Hany, I prefer to buy things from markets
or shops, because you can look at them and
pick them up thats impossible on the internet.
Hany: Id rather buy books and CDs online because
theyre the same whether you buy them in a

People use computers for many
different activities, from
reading online newspapers to
listening to music, but the fastest-
growing areas of computer use
are online shopping and internet
banking.
Until recently, shoppers had
two choices: they could buy
things from shops, or they could
order them by post or phone
from a catalogue. What has
made internet shopping so
popular is the increase in the
number of broadband internet
connections. To attract customers,
many online shops and
The gr owth of
onl ine shopping
companies now have interesting,
user-friendly websites which
make buying things easier
than traditional ways of
shopping. With just a few clicks
of the mouse, you can order
almost anything you can nd
in ordinary shops. In some
countries, people order their
food online and have it delivered
by supermarkets to their homes.
In Britain, experts believe that in
the next year, online shopping
will increase.
As well as being easier for
people with busy lives, internet
shopping also helps people to
look for things they cannot nd in
their own area and to nd them at
the cheapest prices. Interestingly,
researchers have found that
the largest increase in online
shopping is among men.
People are also changing to
internet banking. In the past,
everyone used to go into their
bank to put money into their
accounts or to arrange to
borrow money. Now, more and
more people are doing all their
banking activities online. Some
people never visit a real bank
when they need cash, they get it
from a cash machine.

f People with busy lives and old or disabled people.
2 Answer these questions.
1 Organise the students to work in small groups.
2 Tell them to read the questions and to think
about them. Encourage them to think about
price, delivery costs, shop overheads, size of
market, convenience, etc.
3 Get them to discuss the answers
4 Ask some of the groups to explain their answers
to the whole class. You can write up their ideas
on the board.
Suggested answers:
a Companies have a bigger market; they can sell
anywhere in the world. They dont need to spend
money on shops and places to sell their products;
they only need to have a website. This way they can
sell the products more cheaply. It is easier for people
to set up their businesses.
b Things are cheaper for customers to buy and they
have more choice because they can shop in many
different places, looking for the cheapest prices.
They can buy everything online and shop from
home. They dont have to go to the shops, so it is
quick and convenient.
c For customers, it can be risky because of credit card
fraud. You can only buy online if you have a credit
card, so children oIten fnd it hard to shop online.
Also, older people and people who dont have
experience using a computer might fnd it diIfcult.
You cannot actually see the products, only pictures
of them. You dont buy them and take them away.
The products might be delivered late and you have
to wait for them. Sometimes the wrong products are
sent or they arrive damaged or do not arrive at all.
3 Look at the following information about
people who complained about internet
shopping and discuss the questions in
pairs.
1 Tell the students to read the information. Help
sure they understand the information.
2 Tell the students to look at questions a and b
and to think about their answers.
3 Organise the students to work in small groups to
4 Ask some students to share their answers with
the class.
Suggested answers:
a People must be very careful when ordering an item
online. They must avoid mistakes in writing order
numbers, etc. and they must write their address
and postcode clearly. They must use only trusted
companies and not give their bank information to
anyone else. The companies must package the goods
adequately to protect them when they send them.
b Some of the problems can be avoided if you buy
from a shop, though the shop can still take your bank
details. If you buy in a shop, you can check that the
product is not damaged and, of course, you know
exactly what you have bought.
4 Discuss these questions in pairs or small
groups.
1 Ask the students to read the questions. Help
sure they understand the questions.
2 Encourage the students to think about the ways
that people exchanged things in the past and
why they think money has changed. You can
give them some basic ideas to get them going if
they are having problems.
3 Now put the students into pairs or small groups
and tell them to discuss their answers.
4 Ask some of the groups to share their answers
with the class.
Suggested answers:
a People used to exchange anything they had. Gold
was very popular, and items of value like tigers
teeth and ivory from elephants, etc. People have
basically used anything that other people thought
had value.
b Because the way we can buy things has also
changed. We need quicker and easier ways to pay for
things.
c I think cash will be less and less important. In the
future, we will carry small electronic chips which we
can use to pay for things.

sometimes cheaper. He is not worried about internet shopping, but he says he will

The story of money
Today, most people put their cash into a bank account.
Thousands of years ago, people did not use money at all. If they
wanted to have something, they gave the owner something that
belonged to them. Later, many different things were used as
money in different parts of the world, including sharks teeth.
In time, people decided to use gold as money because
everybody accepted it and it looked beautiful. The rst gold
coins were made in Lydia (now western Turkey). But gold was
very heavy.
The Chinese were the rst people to make and use paper
money. When the Italian explorer Marco Polo went to China in
the thirteenth century, he was surprised to see people using
paper money. Later, in Europe, people started to leave their
gold in banks and paid for things with notes from their bank.
Today, people still use coins and banknotes, but there are
many other ways of paying, including cheques, credit cards
and online payments.

2 Help the students to pronounce the
words by underlining the part of the
word where the main stress falls in
each: attach, bring up, cooperate,
pack, situation, string, tolerance.
3 Get the students to look the words up
in their Active Stuay Dictionary.
4 Check that the students know the
meanings of the words. Tell them
that when you say a word defnition,
they must say which word you are
describing.
Example:
Teacher: When you work together
with another person.
Students: Cooperate.

defnitions Ior all the words.
Answers:
attach: to fasten or join one thing to another
bring up. to look after children until they are
adults
cooperate. to work with someone else in

Discuss these questions in pairs. Then read
the article and check your ideas.
a How do members of sports teams cooperate?
Why do they do this?
b Can you think of ways in which animals such
as lions cooperate with each other?
A friend who is playing in an important football
match this afternoon asks for advice. What will
you say? I think you should try to score lots
of goals? This is helpful, but perhaps the best
advice is Dont forget youre part of a team.
Pass the ball to other players.
There are many situations where groups of
people need to cooperate to succeed, for
example, surgeons, who work with a team of
doctors and nurses to help patients; or scientists
who have to work in large, complex teams to
send people into space.
Animals also cooperate. For example, lions hunt
their prey in packs, and elephants live in family
groups to bring up their young and protect ill
members. In a recent experiment, scientists
showed that even birds can cooperate on
complex jobs. Two birds were put into a cage
with a box of food outside. The birds could see
the food, but they had to pull pieces of string
attached to the box to get the food into their
cage. If only one bird pulled a string, the box
did not move. However, if both birds pulled the
strings at the same time, they moved the box and
got the food.
To be a successful team member, you may need
to cooperate with people who are very different
from you and who you may not like. To succeed,
you will have to show tolerance and work with
these people. Imagine what would happen if a
nurse refused to help a doctor.

danger.
b They want to score the goals themselves. They are
greedy and not thinking about cooperation. They are
not putting the importance oI the team frst.
c They each do different parts that together help the
team to achieve a goal. Each member does his/her
part, which makes the work of the whole group
easier.
d Tolerance may be very diIfcult Ior some people
if they hold strong ideas and beliefs that are very
different from those of the people they have to
work with, and if they and/or the other people are
infexible.

with them and work with them even though,

want to escape from the island.
More boys join Jacks group
because he promises to protect
them from the wild animal and
give them meat.
Jacks boys paint their faces and
become very . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
They think one of the other
boys is the frightening animal
and they attack him. Then they
attack Ralphs camp and steal
the glasses of a boy called Poggy.
They wanted to use the glasses
to make a re. Ralphs group try
to get the glasses back but Poggy
is hurt. Jack captures two others
and Ralph is left alone. Jack then
sets re to the island to try to stop
Ralph from escaping. A passing
ship sees the re and comes to
rescue the boys. Finally, with the
arrival of adults on the island, the
ghting stops.
Critical thinking
The boys realise they must look after themselves until
they are rescued. The boys choose a leader and start to
organise their new life. The leader, Ralph, tells them
they must work together.

Read through the text and tell them to look
up any unknown words in their Active Study
Dictionary. Make sure everyone understands all
the words.
3 Ask the students to imagine that they are on an

their ideas with the class.
Suggested answers:
They should be calm. They need to be
intelligent and patient. A good leader is
someone who is understanding. They can
talk to people easily.

1 Put the students into pairs to talk about
rules. Tell them to read the questions
and think about their ideas.
2 Now put the pairs together into groups
of four to share and discuss their
answers.
3 Ask as many groups as possible to
share their answers with the class.
Suggested answers:
a Rules are important because they help
people to work together and to cooperate.
They help to make sure things run
smoothly and that people know what
other people will do in certain situations.
They help to make it possible to organise
things. For example, in families there may
be rules about bedtime, doing homework,
helping with chores; in school there
may be rules about uniform, meal times,
play times, etc. and when driving a car
there are rules about speed, traIfc lights,
roundabouts, etc.
b If there are no rules, or people break the
rules, people dont know what others will
do in certain situations and it makes life
unpredictable. People can get hurt, cars
can crash and there could be a complete
lack of order.

a Which of these sentences are facts (F) and which are opinions (O)?
1

Professional mountaineers climb for money.
2

Between 1922 and 2006, Everest was climbed by about 3,000 people.
3

Most people want to conquer something during their life.
4

When someone has climbed it, they feel fantastic.
b Make a statement of fact about mountains.
c Express an opinion about mountaineers.
Why do t hey do i t ?
A question which people often ask mountaineers is
Why do you climb mountains? The most common
answer is Because they are there. But this does not
tell us the real reasons why people choose this exciting
hobby.
Professional mountaineers climb for money, but for
many others, climbing a great mountain is a lifelong
ambition. For example, Omar Samra, the Egyptian
who reached the summit of Everest in 2007, says that
he had dreamed of climbing mountains since he was a
toddler. He even had photos of Everest on his bedroom
walls. But Omar does not just climb for himself. He
always takes an Egyptian ag with him and leaves it on
the mountains.
Some mountaineers say that their hobby is no different
from other hobbies, but most people do not understand
this because the hobby is so dangerous. Between 1922
and 2006, Everest was climbed by about 3,000 people,
but more than 200 of these climbers lost their lives. So
perhaps we should ask a slightly different question:
Why do people climb dangerous mountains? Many
mountaineers say the answer is simple: most people
want to conquer something during their life. A
dangerous mountain is a challenge; when someone
has climbed it, they have reached their goal and they
feel fantastic.
The Italian climber Reinhold Messner was the rst
mountaineer in the world to climb the 14 mountains
which are over 8,000 metres high. What is even more
amazing is that he was the rst man to reach the summit
of Everest without the use of oxygen cylinders!

2 Put the students into pairs to talk about what
motivates people to climb high and dangerous
mountains. Ask them if they think everybody
would like to climb Everest.
3 Ask pairs to share their suggestions and write
them on the board.
Suggested answer:
The most obvious reason is because it is a challenge. It
is something unique that only a few thousand people in
the whole world have managed to do. It is an ambition
that many people but not all have.

questions. Write some words on the board to
encourage them to think about different ideas.
For example: danger, challenge, family,

lifelong dream, etc. The students could ask
lots of questions. Guide them to think about the
various aspects of climbing such as preparation,
time away from family, dangers, challenge,
reasons for climbing, when the dream started,
and so on.
3 Go over the answers with a class and get some
of the pairs to share their answers.
Suggested answers:
a Yes, because I enjoy diIfcult challenges. No,
because I would miss my family and friends too

Answers:
a There is always snow at the top of high
mountains because it never gets hot
enough there for the snow to melt.
b The heat of the sun doesnt turn the snow
to water because, at high levels, there is
little oxygen and the air is so thin that it
can hold hardly any heat, so the water
always turns to snow and ice and does not
melt.
T A P E S C R I P T
Scientist: Hello. Today were going to ask
ourselves a scientihc question.
Why is there always snow and
ice on the summits of the highest
mountains? The summit of Everest,
which is nearly 9,000 metres above
sea level, is the nearest place on
the earth to the sun, so why doesnt
the heat of the sun turn the snow
to water? If you take a piece of
ice out of your fridge at home and
leave it in the sun, it turns into
water in just a minute or two, so
why doesnt this happen to the
snow on high mountains?
Heres the answer. The air at the
bottom of mountains like Everest
holds the heat of the sun. This
means that the temperature is
quite hot. However, at the top of
mountains, there is less oxygen.
This means the air is much thinner.
The air here does not hold the suns
heat so easily. So the higher you
go, the less heat there is in the air,
so of course the temperature gets
colder and colder. Above a certain
height, called the snow line, the
snow never turns to water.

Hi Jack,
I must tell you about my grandfather. He was a pilot and today he told
me about his rst ying lesson. It was an amazing experience which hell
never forget.
His ying instructor was a friend of his parents and he was an excellent
teacher. They took off in a small plane at ten oclock in the morning and
were in the air for nearly two hours. For some of the time they were ying
above the sea. The instructor ew to start with, explaining everything he
was doing. After about half an hour, he asked my grandfather if he would
like to y the plane.
Of course, he said yes, and after that he was in control for about an hour.
He said it was slightly frightening at rst, but not as difcult as he had
thought it would be.
After he landed, his instructor said, Well done! Youve passed your rst
test! My grandfather now wanted to become a pilot. He said, Im going
to work really hard to make sure that I succeed.
Best wishes,
Andrew

d Yes, because more people can enjoy many more
things. Or no, because big corporations move to
where they can make goods most cheaply, and local
producers lose business and people lose jobs.
e Everyone wins: companies make more proft (that
is, they sell more products around the world) and at
the same time, they create more jobs for countries all
over the world.
f Yes, because there are more jobs, more products for
people to enjoy and more money for companies. Or
no, because in some countries the workers are paid
very low wages so that the companies can sell goods
at very low prices around the world. Also, global
trading causes pollution as products are shipped
around the world.

Suggested answers:
a Some products cannot be moved by plane or by
other forms of transport. For example, it is not
possible to move millions of barrels of petrol from
one country to another by plane or road. Ships can
carry much bigger loads.
b Sea travel is slower than air travel, and if there is an
accident it can lead to pollution in the sea. Sea travel
is better in that ships can carry much larger cargoes,
and it is better for transporting very heavy cargo
such as large lorries, tractors or things like oil and
minerals.
c Goods which are perishable, such as fruit, vegetables
and fowers, need to be transported by air so they are
still fresh at the point of sale. If these goods were
taken by road or sea, they would perish before they
could be sold.
d The Suez Canal allows ships in the Mediterranean
to access India and beyond without having to travel
all the way around Africa. Before the Suez Canal
was built, ships had to travel right around Africa
before travelling on to China, India and many other
countries.

It may not be good for the environment; it may

Presenter: Good evening. Welcome to Nineteenth
Century Writers. In this programme,
were looking at the life and work
of Guy de Maupassant. Our guest
is Professor Richard Hillery, who
teaches French literature at a
university in Australia. Professor,
would you mind telling us about
Maupassants life?
Professor Hillery. Yes, the hrst thing to say about
Maupassant is that he died when he
was only forty-two. But in his short
life he wrote six novels, three hundred
short stories, three books on travel
and a collection of poems.
Presenter: Amazing! Could you tell us about his
early life?
Professor Hillery: Well, Guy de Maupassant was born in
1850 in Dieppe in northern France.
Until he was thirteen, he lived happily
with his mother in a large house near
the sea. In those days, he used to
enfoy hshing.
Presenter: Was he good at school?
Professor Hillery. Not at hrst. He aiant enfoy school
until he went to the college in Rouen,
where he acted in plays and studied
poetry. He left in 1870, joined the
army and fought for France in a
European war. In 1871, he moved to
Paris where he worked as a clerk. His
life was very boring, except when he
used to go canoeing on the river on
Sundays.
Presenter: When did he start writing?
Professor Hillery: Well, in 1878 he started writing for
newspapers. It was also then that he
began writing stories. His friends
said he used to spend all his free time
writing.
Presenter: Did he make money from writing?
Professor Hillery. He certainly aia. His hrst short story,
Boule de Suif, was very successful
and made him famous. After that, he
wrote continuously, as many as four
collections of short stories a year. In
1883, he wrote his hrst novel, Une
Vie, which means A Life. It sold
twenty-hve thousana copies in the hrst
year.
Presenter: Did he use to do anything else as well
as writing?
Professor Hillery: Not much he didnt use to enjoy
staying at home and he loved
travelling, and on every journey he
wrote new stories. However, when he
got older, he didnt use to leave his
house very often and spent most of his
time alone. He died in 1893.

Professor Hillery: No. In fact, he said, I have wanted
everything, and enjoyed nothing.

identical diamond necklace as a
replacement. The cost 36,000 francs
is more than they can afford. They
have to borrow 18,000 francs, leaving
themselves with heavy debts. For the
next ten years, Loisel and his wife
spend all their time working to earn
enough money to pay their debts.
After ten years of hard manual work,
Mathilde looks old and exhausted.
Although she has lost her beauty, she
feels proud that she has paid all her
debts. When she meets her friend
Jeanne Forestier, she tells her the story
of the lost necklace. Jeanne is shocked
and tells Mathilde that the necklace
she wore to the ball was really made of
glass. It cost only 500 francs.
Loisel works as a government clerk and does not earn
much money. His wife Mathilde is very beautiful, but
she cannot afford the kind of life she would like.
One day, Loisel receives an invitation to a ball. At
rst, Mathilde refuses to go because she does not
have a good enough dress to wear. Loisel knows how
much his wife wants to go to the ball, so he gives her
some of his savings to buy a new dress.
Poor people should try to improve themselves.
It is best to be honest at all times.
Money makes people happy.
People should be happy with what they have.
Hard work is the way to real happiness.

like Mathilde who thinks that money and things
can make life better.
the class.
Suggested answers:
a It is best to be honest at all times.
People should be happy with what they have.
The story perhaps suggests that money is not the
most important thing, but even more, that things are
not what they really seem (that is, the necklace was
not really valuable, but they assumed it was).
b Everything may not really be what you think it is,
and you should be happy with the life you have got
and be proud of what you have got.

1 Ask the students to look at the pictures
of the three pieces of jewellery.
2 Ask them to suggest words to describe
each one and write their suggestions
on the board.
3 Tell the students to read the
description in the box and to decide
which necklace it describes.
Answer:
It describes necklace c because it is
attached to the chain in only one place and it
has two circles joined by Roman numbers.

turns to describe the other two
necklaces.
1 Put the students into pairs to take
turns to say sentences to describe
the other two necklaces. Student 1
says a sentence describing one of
the necklaces and Student 2 guesses
which necklace is being described.
They then swap roles.

Student 1: It is connected to the chain
in two places which are
very close together at
the top.
Student 2: Necklace a.

Communication
This beautiful piece of jewellery is very valuable because it is made of gold and diamonds. The main part
of the necklace is round and is attached to the chain in one place only. This main part consists of two
circles: the smaller, inside circle is joined to the larger, outside circle by the Roman numbers for twelve,
three, six and nine. This makes the necklace look like the face of a traditional clock or watch.

The Olympic Games
1
The Olympic Games, an international sports festival
which takes place every four years, are particularly
famous for athletics. But they also include individual
sports, like swimming, and team sports, like football and
hockey. For sportsmen and sportswomen everywhere,
taking part in the Games is usually the highlight of
their careers.
2
At rst, the Olympic Games were part of a religious
festival in ancient Greece. The only sport at that time
was a running race. Later, longer races were added,
together with boxing. The Romans conquered Greece
during the second century BC and, soon after, the Games
lost their religious meaning. Athletes were only interested
in money, so, in 349, the Games were stopped.
3
Fifteen hundred years later, archaeologists
discovered the ancient Olympic stadium, which had
been destroyed in an earthquake. This discovery gave
people an idea. They thought that individual athletes
would benet if the Olympic Games started again. They
also believed that the Games would help the world to be
a more peaceful place. So, in 1896, the rst modern
Games took place in Greece. Again, the Olympics were
only for amateurs; no one was paid to take part.
4
Although competitors are still not paid to take part,
some countries now train and pay future professional
Olympic athletes, so they are not really amateurs. Some
say this is not fair.
5
Since the modern Olympics began over a hundred
years ago, athletes have been getting faster and
stronger and, at every Games, world records have been
broken. This is good not only for individual athletes, but
also for ordinary people. Watching Olympic athletes
makes some people want to try new sports themselves.

they would help the world to become a

2 Now put the students into small
groups. Tell them to read the three
questions and discuss their answers.
3 Ask some groups to share their
Suggested answers:
a The Olympic Games are a way for people to have
contact with other nations and come together.
Through them, countries can learn about the
heroes of other places in the world. Countries
have to collaborate and cooperate for a successful
Olympic Games, and so they have helped to develop
understanding and respect between nations.
b It is hard for the Olympic Games to stay amateur
because the athletes need to train a lot to be good
enough to compete and so they do not have time to
work. So it is probably fair to say that, in the current
situation, it is nearly impossible.
c If they were never paid, fewer people would
participate and possibly fewer records would be
broken. It is the money and training that drive the
sport forward.
Zola Budd
In the 1984 Olympics,
the runner Zola Budd
broke the world record
for the womens 5,000
metres and won a medal
for Britain. However,
Zola Budd was South African, not British. But
1984 was a year when South Africa could not
be in the Olympic Games. Was this fair?

benet if the Olympic Games started again. They

1 Put the students in pairs and ask them to read
through the three questions.
2 Make sure they all understand the questions,
then ask them to discuss the questions in their
pairs.
3 Get some pairs to share their answers with the
class.
Suggested answers:
a Athletes need to be determined and willing to
make large sacrifces, including not having much
contact with their families, training for long hours,
travelling, eating healthily and being very organised.
So selI-motivation, Iocus and selI-discipline are all
very relevant characteristics.
b Yes, because it allows cultures to come into contact.
It allows people to appreciate athletes from other
countries. It means people travel and meet and are
exposed to other cultures.
c They beneft because the host nations get lots oI
publicity (such as China when it hosted the 2008
Olympic Games) and so a lot of attention is focused
on them. International sport also allows smaller
or poorer nations to excel (Ior example the long-
distance runners from Ethiopia).
4 Discuss these questions in small groups.
1 Tell the students to read about the two athletes.
Make sure they understand the two stories
fully. Ask what Abebe Bikila wore on his feet
(nothing). Ask where Zola Budd was born
(South Africa), why she ran for Britain (South
Africa could not be in the Olympic games in
1985) and who she won the medal for (Britain).
2 Now, put the students into small groups and tell
them to read and discuss the questions.
3 Ask some of the group members to share their
Suggested answers:
a Fair play and honesty are important in international
sports because all competitors and countries must be
seen to have an equal chance. It must be certain that
no one has an unfair advantage.
b Abebe Bikila: Most people would probably think
that it is harder to run with no shoes, and this was
actually a disadvantage which he chose for himself.
Zola Budd: Students may feel that Zola Budds
winning the medal for Britain was not fair because
she was not born in the UK and was not a resident of
the UK. Perhaps people should compete only for the
country they were born in ( but what if they were
born in one country but their parents were born in
another?).

v Chess is a game for two people played
with sixteen pieces each, including two
kings, on a chessboard with black and

who gets the opponents king into a
position where it cannot be moved.
v Water skiing is a sport in which a motor
boat pulls a person along while they are
standing on skis, skimming the surface of
the water.
v Netball is a team game played with a ball
on a court in which the players usually
girls or women score points by throwing
a ball through a high horizontal ring with
a net hanging from it. There are seven
players in each team.
v Climbing as a sport uses permanent
anchors fxed to a wall or rock, especially
bolts, for the climbers protection. The
climber progresses from the bottom to the
top of the climbing face. The sport tests
the climbers gymnastic ability, strength
and endurance.
v Squash is a game for two players who
use rackets to hit a small, fairly soft ball
against the walls of an indoor closed
court.
b All of these sports are played in Egypt, but squash
is the most popular of them. Egyptian international
squash players have been very successful in
worldwide competitions for many years. They are
some of the best in the world circuit.
c The Russians would do well in chess because the
game is played widely and taken very seriously in
Russia. It is sponsored by the State and young people
showing a talent for chess are trained by professional
coaches and, if they succeed at the game, can

Darts is a sport that many in England think should be
included in the Olympic Games, but most people say
that it is not a sport but a game and so should not be
included.
Cricket should not be included either, as it is played
largely only by the countries from the British
Commonwealth.
Rugby is a very popular sport but is played only by a
limited number of countries and so therefore should not
be included
Chess, like darts, is not really a sport but a game and so
also should not be considered..

How t rade began
For t housands of years, people produced
most of what t hey needed t hemselves.
They grew crops and hunt ed for food.
However, t hey learned t hat t hey could
have more goods if t hey t raded wit h
ot her count ries. Groups of t raders from
Babylon t ravelled t housands of kilomet res
on camels in caravans. But because t hey
had t o carry food for t hemselves and
t heir animals, t here was lit t le space for
goods. For t his reason, t hese t raders
carried small, valuable t hings like gold
and diamonds.
During Roman t imes, t rade became very
import ant . The Romans t raded wit h China
and brought silk t o Europe. Roman ships
also brought t in from Brit ain, wheat from
Africa and j ewellery from t he East . Aft er
t he Romans, t here was less t rade, but in
t he t welft h cent ury, it increased again.
The I t alian cit ies of Venice and Genoa
became t he worlds most import ant t rade
cent res. From Venice, t raders t ravelled
t o China, bringing back spices and silk.
I n t he fourt eent h cent ury, Arab t raders
visit ed I ndia and China.
In the hfteenth and sixteenth centuries,
global t rade increased. Great t raders from
Spain and Port ugal opened many new
sea rout es. Lat er, European companies
in America started exporting sugar, rice,
pot at oes and t obacco t o Europe and
importing expensive goods like silk and
j ewellery.
I n t odays global economy, it is easy
t o carry goods quickly and cheaply by
air, road and railway. For more t han a
hundred years, world t rade has been
increasing and, as t he world becomes a
smaller place, t rade bet ween count ries
will cont inue t o increase.

As international trade increased, people from different countries met for the rst time. As well as
trading goods, they traded ideas and taught each other many things.
The wheel was invented in 4,000 BC in Sumeria, now part of Iraq. With the wheel, people could
travel further and carry goods more easily.
Paper was invented in China in the second century. Arabs learned how to make paper from wood
and cotton in the eighth century. The Europeans then learned this from the Arabs.
Bicycles were invented in the 19th century by the Germans. The rst bicycles had a big wheel at
the front and a small wheel at the back. There are now many kinds of bicycles.
A type of camera was invented by the Iraqi Ibn al-Haytham in around 1020. The rst camera that
was small enough to be carried from place to place was designed by the German scientist Johann
Zahn in 1685. However, his design was not used to take photographs until 150 years later.

Review C
c (suggested) It is good in many ways because it
creates jobs, tolerance and cooperation but it might
be bad for the environment because of pollution, and
it might mean that countries increasingly lose their
individuality.
d (suggested) Swimming is the best form of exercise
because you have to use most of the major muscle
groups. This gives your body a good workout and, if
you swim fast you get a good aerobic workout, too.
e The writer was French.
f (suggested) She wanted to look rich and as good as
all the other women at the ball. She wanted to give
the appearance of being richer than she really was.
2 Write a paragraph of seven (7) sentences

1 Tell the students to think about a form of
exercise they like doing.
2 Write the following questions on the board:
How long have you been doing it?
What equipment do you need to do it?
What do you have to do?
Why is it good for you?
Why would you recommend it to other
people?
3 Now tell the students to write seven sentences
about their chosen exercise. Tell them to use the
questions on the board to help them but not to
answer them directly.
4 Ask some students to read their paragraphs to
the class.
Example answer:
I have been walking for exercise for four years now.
You dont need much to get started just a strong,
comfortable pair of shoes or walking boots and suitable
clothing for the weather. All you have to do is to plan
your route and walk along it at a reasonable pace.
Walking is good for you, especially if you walk at a
fast pace or uphill, because it exercises your heart and
lungs and works the muscles of the lower body. I would
recommend walking to other people because it is simple
and cheap; you can do it alone or with friends and you
can enjoy beautiful scenery at the same time.

a Give short answers to the following questions:
1 What is this passage about?
2 What should you do when you have written your goal on paper?
A goal is something you want to achieve. First, decide what your goal is. For example, do you want to pass
a test? Do you want to be a doctor? When you have decided on your goal, write it down on paper and look at it
every day. Then decide what you must do to succeed.
Some people never reach their goal because they think it is impossible. But you must always believe that your
goals are possible. Don`t think, 'This test is diffcult. I`ll probably fail. Instead, think, 'This test is diffcult, but
I`ve worked hard and I will pass it.
Most people are successful at things they enjoy. So always try to enjoy your work. Keep looking at the goal
you wrote on paper and think how happy you will be when you succeed. Think about that happiness while you are
working and you will enjoy your work.

One day, I was waiting for a friend in town when I saw two men. One was sitting on the pavement wearing old
clothes. He had a hat in front of him. As people passed, he said, 'Can you give me money, please? Some people
threw coins into his hat, but most walked past. The other man, who was wearing a suit, stopped people and asked
them politely to lend him money to buy petrol for his car. Most people happily gave him coins or notes. During the
ten minutes I was watching him, he collected a lot of money. He put it all in his pocket, but did not go to buy petrol.
I soon realised that both men just wanted money. The one in the old clothes needed money more than the one in the
suit, but the one in the suit got more money. Isn`t that strange?

1 On what surfaces is hockey played?
2 What do hockey players use to hit the ball?
Hockey is a very old team sport which is popular all over the world. Hockey is normally played on grass, but
there is also ice hockey.
Men and women can play hockey, and in some countries they play together in mixed teams. Like football, there
are eleven players in a hockey team. Players carry sticks which they use to control the ball either to pass it to
other players on their team, or to hit it into a net and score goals. The goalkeeper is the only player who can kick
the ball.
Hockey can be a dangerous game. The ball, which is small and very hard, can break bones if it hits a player, and
players can hurt each other with their sticks. One of the important rules of the sport is that players cannot lift their
sticks above their shoulders.
4 How do players score goals in hockey?
a They kick the ball into the net. b They hit the ball into the net with a stick.
c They throw the ball into the net. d They carry the ball into the net.
5 How is a hockey ball different from a football?
a It is softer. b It is larger. c It is smaller. d It is not round.
1 What did the writers friends do before they went climbing?
Two of my friends went on a three-week climbing holiday in Switzerland last year. They had climbing lessons
for six months before they left and took ropes and other important equipment.
On the frst day of their holiday, they started climbing one of the easy mountains. It was a bright, sunny day
and they did not fnd climbing diffcult. When it was nearly dark, they stopped and ate some of the food they had
brought with them, then they made beds for themselves on a large piece of rock. The mountain side provided
shelter from the wind.
During the night, it became very cold and started to snow. Unfortunately, when my friends woke up in the
morning, the snow was still falling and they decided to come down the mountain. But there was too much snow
and they had to wait for fve hours to be rescued.

1 When did Maupassant move to Paris?
2 What does the word These mean in These were much healthier?
When Guy de Maupassant arrived in the French capital during the early 1870s, Paris was one of the most
exciting cities in the modern world. Many of its narrow streets, with their old houses in the poorer parts of the
city, had been knocked down in the 1840s and replaced by wide streets with beautiful new buildings. These were
much healthier for people to live in. New railway lines brought thousands of people into the city every day to
work in the growing industries.
The Eiffel Tower opened in 1889 and brought thousands of tourists into Paris, which was already an important
centre for artists and writers. The frst line of the Paris Metro opened in 1890, attracting even more visitors.

1 Where was the man on the bicycle travelling to?
2 What did the guard expect to nd in the bag?
A man was going from Greece into Turkey on his bicycle when a guard stopped him. The guard asked, Whats
in the bag on your back?
'Sand, said the man.
'Take it off. I want to have a look, said the guard.
The man took the bag off and opened it to prove he was only carrying sand. Then he closed the bag, put it on
his back and continued into Turkey.
The next week, the same thing happened. Again, the guard wanted to see inside the bag, but again there was
only sand. This continued for six months, but then one week the man did not come.
Some years later, the guard saw the man in the town and said, 'You can tell me the truth now. I knew you were
bringing something into our country, but I didn`t know what.
'It was bicycles, said the man, smiling.

1 Tell the students to look at the two pictures.
2 Ask them to describe the pictures to you. Write
some of the words they use on the board.
3 Explain to the students that the farmers are
using pesticides and fertilisers.
4 Ask the students to read the two questions.
5 Discuss the answers with the whole class.
Answers:
a The pictures show that modern technology is used
in agriculture to put fertilisers and pesticides on the
land, and that there are different ways to do it. They
show that fertilisers and pesticides are important in
agriculture.
b They help the crops to grow.
2 Tell them to use their dictionary to look up the
meanings and to fnd out and mark where the
stress falls in the words with more than one
syllable.
3 Now see if the students can pronounce the
words.
Answers:
fertile: fertile land or soil produces plenty of good crops
genetically modihea. (not in Active Study Dictionary
search under separate words) when crops are
genetically modifed, scientists change their genetic
structure to improve them, for example to make them
disease resistant
organic: using farming methods that do not use
chemicals that are harmful to the environment, or
produced by these methods
pesticide: a chemical substance used to kill insects that
damage crops
spray: to make liquid come out of a container in a
stream of very small drops
3 Listen and answer these questions.
2 Play the tape and tell the students to listen for
the answers to the questions.
4 Now ask some pairs to share their answers with
the class. Encourage class discussion fnd
out who agrees with Ali and who agrees with
Hassan. Encourage the students to give reasons.
Answers:
1 Ali prefers organic farming. He thinks it is the best
way to farm.
2 Organic farms dont produce the same quantity of
food. It is more expensive to produce the food that
way. It is probably quicker and easier to spray the
crops, too.
T A P E S C R I P T
Hassan: Did you read that newspaper article about
farming, Ali?
Ali: Yes, I did, Hassan. It was very interesting,
wasnt it?
Hassan: What do you think about the idea of organic
farming?
Ali: I think its the best way to farm.
Hassan: Really? I dont. Why do you think that?
Ali: Well, the main reason is that I dont like the
idea of eating fruit and vegetables that
have been sprayed with pesticides. I mean
pesticides can be poisonous, cant they?
Hassan. I suppose so. In the past, the Nile ooaea ana
left fertile soil on the helas, so we aiant neea
chemical fertilisers then, did we?
Ali: Quite right, Hassan. I know that doesnt
happen now, but as far as Im concerned,
the answer isnt to continuously spray the
land with chemicals.
Hassan: What is the answer, then?
Ali: In my opinion, we should improve the
quality of the soil by adding natural, organic
fertilisers.
Hassan: But surely its much quicker and easier for
farmers to spray their crops with chemical
fertilisers and pesticides, isnt it?
Ali: Yes, but that would be more expensive than
using organic fertilisers, wouldnt it?
Hassan: What about the quantity of crops farmers get,
though? Id say that modern farming makes
more money than organic farming, Do you
agree?
Ali: Well, its true that organic farms dont
produce the same quantities as modern farms,
so they dont make quite as much money. But

1 Get students to discuss the questions
in pairs. Then go over the answers as a

2 Do the same with the second question.
Make sure they are clear about the
formation of question tags with
present and past simple verbs.
Answers:
a The question tag verb is not the same. You
have to add an auxiliary verb (do/does/
dont/doesnt/did/didnt) as you do to form
the negative or the question form of a verb
in the past or present simple.
b In the other sentences, the question tag is
negative if the verb in the main sentence
is aIfrmative, and aIfrmative iI the main
verb in the sentence is negative. The word
order also changes, so it is verb + subject
in the question tag when the main verb
has subject + verb.

Shoul d sci enti sts
modi fy our food?
Thousands of years ago, most people were hunters
whose food came from the animals and sh they had
killed and from nuts, roots and fruit they had collected.
Later, these hunters lived in one place and became
farmers whose method of getting food was to grow
crops from the seeds of wild plants. Over time, they
noticed that some plants were better than others. They
saved the seeds from these plants and so the yields and
quality of their crops improved.
Like plants, all other living things contain genes which
control what they will be like. Modern scientists can
put genes into plants and animals in their laboratories,
and this means they can modify their genes in order
to change what they are like. This is called genetic
engineering.
A type of tomato is an example of this. When normal
tomatoes ripen, one of their genes produces a chemical
that makes the fruit rot. Scientists can modify this gene
so that the tomatoes do not rot so quickly. This is one way
in which genetically modied (GM) crops can improve
agriculture. Scientists know that this technology can
also protect people from starvation in countries where
insects or diseases destroy crops. For example, fruit and
vegetables have been modied so that they are not
damaged by the diseases that kill normal plants.
However, many people believe that modied food is
unnatural and fear that genetic engineering may bring
new diseases in the future. So should we eat genetically
modied food or not? Surprisingly, biscuits, cakes and
many other foods that we have been eating for years
already contain genetically modied ingredients. Have
they done us any damage?

Scientists know that this technology can also
protect people from starvation in countries where
insects or diseases destroy crops. For example,
fruit and vegetables have been modied so that
they are not damaged by the diseases that kill
normal plants.
However, many people believe that modied food
is unnatural and fear that genetic engineering
may bring new diseases in the future.
People in some remote areas do not have enough food. Their health is
getting worse.
Scientists can give these people GM seeds which will produce plants with
high food yields. This will give the people enough food.
It is possible that the new food will bring a new disease.
Should the people depend on the high yield seeds or should they use their normal
seeds and move to an area where food is easier to grow?

There is no clear answer. It is not easy to move people
because of country borders or restrictions on their

Sometimes people cant move, so the only way to help

the farmers, supplying equipment and allowing
scientifc experiments with genes, etc. Encourage
them to use the expressions of advice and
instructions that they have learnt in the unit.
Example answers: We mustnt let people starve.
We need to give more money to poor countries. We
must make sure that genetic moaihcation can help
grow crops in dry parts of the world. Give farmers
help and make sure they have modern equipment.

and they must listen carefully and answer the
questions. You may need to play the tape more
than once.
Answers:

b 1819: Melville was born.
1839: He went to sea.
1847: Melville married Elizabeth Shaw.
1851: Moby Dick came out.
1891: Melville died without fnishing his fnal novel.
T A P E S C R I P T
Joice. When his novel, Moby Dick, came out in 1851,
Herman Melville haa been writing for hve
years. He haa alreaay written two books callea
Typee ana Omoo, ana was popular in Britain
ana America. Toaay, Moby Dick is his most
famous novel but at hrst people aiant like it.
But lets start at the beginning ana look at what
Herman Melville haa aone before he wrote his
greatest work.
Melville was born into a gooa New York family
in 1819. His father, who importea gooas from
France, aiea when Herman was twelve. After he
haa left school, the young boy workea in very
orainary fobs in ofhces ana on farms.
By the age of twenty, Herman was borea with
the fobs he haa been aoing ana aeciaea to
look for aaventure, so, in 1839, he went to sea
hrst on a whaling ship, ana later on a navy
ship. During one of his voyages he went ashore
on the Maquesas Islanas ana livea for a few
months with the primitive Typee people. In his
mia-twenties, Melville returnea to live with his
mother ana write about his aaventures. Tom, the
hero of his novel Typee, spenas four exciting
months with a group of islana people. His
secona novel, Omoo, was about Melvilles life
on islanas in the Pacihc Ocean. People lovea
reaaing about the unusual life Melville haa
been living in these strange, remote places, ana
so both these novels were very successful.
In 1847, Melville marriea Eli:abeth Shaw ana
they bought a farm. Here, Melville workea for
eight hours a aay on his thira novel, Moby
Dick, which came out in 1851. This was a
serious book ana many of his reaaers were
aisappointea because it was not the exciting
aaventure story his hrst two novels haa been.
Melville continuea to write short stories ana
a collection of poems, but wrote nothing
important except a story callea Billy Budd.
Melville haa not hnishea this hnal novel about
life at sea at the time of his aeath in 1891.
Explain that they must decide if the sentences
are true or false.

b False. His father died.
c False. He worked in oIfces and on Iarms.
d True.

Ishmael, the novels storyteller, went
to sea on a whaling ship called the
Perquod. The ships captain, Ahab, had
lost a leg when his ship was attacked
by a great white whale called Moby
Dick on his last voyage. Ahab told his
men that the purpose of their voyage
was to hunt and kill Moby Dick and
he offered a gold coin to the rst
sailor who saw him.
The Perquod sailed round the
continent of Africa into the Indian
Ocean. Whenever they met other
ships which had been whaling in the
area, Ahab asked their captains if they
had seen Moby Dick. A sailor from
one of these ships predicted that
anyone who tried to kill Moby Dick
would die. After this, there were many
accidents on the Perquod, but nothing

a In the past, whales were hunted and killed for
their meat, their teeth, for oil and blubber to make
candles. Whale meat is still very popular in some
countries like Japan, and the oil and fat from whales
is used in the production of things like soap.
b Some people are against whaling because there are
low numbers of many kinds of whales in the world,
and some kinds have already become extinct. These
people argue that whales do not provide anything
essential to man and that they play a vital role in the
ecology of marine life, so they should not be hunted.

stopped Ahab. He was determined
to kill the whale which he thought of
as his enemy.
Suddenly, a storm hit the Perquod
and one of the sailors fell to his death
from the ship. Soon after this, they
saw Moby Dick and Ahab sent out
men armed with harpoons in a
small boat, but the whale destroyed
the boat. The next day, more boats
were sent out and, although a
harpoon hit the whale, Moby Dick
was strong enough to attack the
Perquod. On the third day, boats
were sent out again and this time
the whale rammed and sank the
ship. Captain Ahab was pulled out
on a harpoon rope and died attached
to the whale. The boat sank and all
the crew drowned except Ishmael,
who held onto some oating wood.
He was rescued by another whaling
ship and lived to tell the story.
a Why do you think Captain Ahab was so determined to
hunt and kill Moby Dick?
b Do you believe that Moby Dick was really Captain
Ahabs enemy? Why/Why not?
c Do you think that Ahab could have saved the lives of
his crew? Why didnt he?
d Do you think the story of Moby Dick has a message? If
so, what is it?
Critical thinking
Whenever they met other ships which had been
whaling in the area, Ahab asked their captains
if they had seen Moby Dick. A sailor from one
of these ships predicted that anyone who tried
to kill Moby Dick would die. After this, there
were many accidents on the Perquod, but nothing
stopped Ahab from hunting Moby Dick. He was
determined to kill the whale which he thought of
as his enemy.
People need to be determined if they
want to reach their goals in life.

Moby Dick is not my kind of book and I do not know if I will hnish it. People say it is
one of the worlds greatest books, but things happen so slowly. The voyage of the
Perquod does not start until you have read 150 pages, and we do not meet the whale
until page 250. And you know exactly what is going to happen: either Ahab will kill
Moby Dick, or Moby Dick will kill Ahab. At the moment, it doesnt matter who wins.

Moby Dick is a book that everyone can enjoy. Once you start reading it, you cannot

the Perquod. You really feel that you are on the ship yourself. Moby Dick is like
another human character. He is incredible. You really want him to win his hght with

The main purpose of buildings has always
been t o prot ect people from bad weat her. I n

buildings keep out heat and cold. I n hot , dry
areas, buildings wit h t hick walls or t hose wit h
small windows keep out t he heat . I n places
where t here is a lot of rain or snow, buildings
have sl opi ng roofs, whereas in Egypt , where
t here is lit t le rain, most houses have DW roofs.
2
Geography is also import ant in building
design. Many houses in Japan, for example,
are made of wood because Japan has a lot of
eart hquakes, and buildings made of bricks and
concr et e can be dangerous if t hey fall down.
3
Many modern buildings are made of met al,
concret e and glass, but some are st ill made
from mud bricks. These houses are part icularly
suit able for hot climat es because t hey do not
conduct heat well, so t he inside st ays cool.
They are also easy and cheap t o const ruct .

Today, t echnology also affect s how buildings

or rain falls, it runs down the slope and off the roof.
Houses with fat rooIs are usually Iound in places
where there is little rain or snow, where water wont

1 Discuss with the class how it is now possible to
control things in a house from a distance with a
mobile phone. For example, you can turn on the
heating or air conditioning, turn the cooking on
or off, and so on.
2 Put the students into pairs to think about the
advantages and disadvantages of being able to
do this.
3 Ask pairs to report back to the class and
encourage full class discussion.
Suggested answer:
Advantages: remote control could save energy because
you could turn off any lights you had left on by mistake
and turn on the heating just before you got home. You
could save time because your dinner would be ready
when you got home.
Disadvantages: It might be expensive and if you lost
your phone, someone else could enter your house.

Man: We buy different food in different places,

market.
Interviewer: Do you prefer the market to the
supermarket?
Man. Yes, aehnitely. Supermarket prices are
quite high and there is too much choice.
Interviewer: Too much choice?
Man: Yes. If we go to the supermarket, it always
takes us a long time to decide what to buy.
In the street market, there is less choice
ana most things are cheaper. So we save
money and we spend less time shopping.

class.
Suggested answers:
a Supermarkets have a lot more choice and you
can buy everything in one place. They also have
many things that they import from other countries.
However, they can be expensive, they tend to use
lots of packaging which is bad for the environment,
and they are often on the outskirts of cities so you
need to use a car.
b Probably more people will grow their own food.
Some people will grow their own food because they
can grow it organically without pesticides. Others
will do so because it is cheaper. People can even
grow vegetables on the roofs of block buildings.

d To protect the people who lived in them.
Today, most people who live in cities live in tower blocks. These are tall buildings which contain
many ats. The rst tower blocks that we know about were built in the ancient city of Shibham in
Yemen in the sixteenth century. All the citys houses are made from mud bricks, and this includes
500 tower blocks. Some of these are over 30 metres high and have 11 storeys. Each storey is a
at for a single family to live in. The blocks were built in this way to protect people from attack by
enemies.
Although Shibham has been a city for more than 2,000 years, most of its houses were built
around 500 years ago. For this reason, people sometimes refer to Shibham as the oldest
skyscraper city in the world. It is denitely the earliest example we know of a town where the
architects built into the sky instead of only along the ground. Shibhams towers are the tallest
mud brick buildings in the world and the rst tower blocks in the Middle East.

Presenter: We all live busy lives sometimes we forget
what is most important to us. This story
may help you to remember.
Storyteller: One day, a professor came to talk about
time management to his students. Im
going to start with an experiment, he said,
opening a cupboard and taking out a large
glass tank which he put on his desk. Next,
he took out a bag of tennis balls and started
putting them into the tank. When there was
no more space in the tank, he asked the
students, Is the tank full?
Everyone replied, Yes.
The professor said nothing but took out a
bag of golf balls. Carefully, he put these
into the tank, then moved the tank around
until the golf balls fell between the tennis
balls to the bottom of the tank. Again, the
professor asked, Is the tank full?
Now, many of the students smiled and
replied, No.
Next, the professor took a bag of sand and
pourea it into the tank. The sana hllea the
spaces between the tennis balls and the golf
balls. Is the tank full? he asked again.
The students all said No!
Right, replied the professor. Next, he
took six large bottles of water and poured
water into the tank until it was full. If he
had put any more water in, it would have

asked, What does this experiment prove?
One student replied, It proves that, even if
we are very busy, it is always possible to do
more.
The professor shook his head and said,
No, it proves that if we dont put all the
tennis balls in the tank hrst, we wont be
able to put them in later.
Everyone was silent.
The professor continued, What are the
tennis balls in your life? Your family?

Passing tests? Your ambitions? A good job?
Remember it is most important to include
the tennis balls in our lives. If we dont, our
lives will be meaningless. If people gave
too much importance to the sand and water,
things like watching TV or going shopping,
their lives would have no meaning. So ask
yourselves, What are the tennis balls in my
life? Then, make sure you put them in the
tank hrst.`

The fast train from Cairo was half an hour away
from Alexandria. The passengers were chatting,
sleeping, reading or listening to music when
they heard this announcement: We regret to
inform you that one of our passengers is very ill.
If there is a doctor on the train, please could he
or she come to the front?
Unfortunately, there was not a doctor on the
train, but one of the passengers left her seat and
went to the front, where the ill passenger was.
She told the trains conductor, My brothers a
doctor in a hospital in Alexandria. I could phone
him on my mobile and ask him to arrange for an
ambulance to meet the train when it arrives.
Thank you, said the conductor. Thats a
very good idea.
The woman phoned her brother at the hospital
and told him what had happened.
When the train arrived in Alexandria, the
doctor was waiting with the ambulance and two
paramedics. The ill passenger was taken to
hospital, where he had to have an operation. A
week later, he was better and left the hospital.

with the class.
Suggested answers:
A doctor on every train is too expensive
and doctors are needed at hospitals and in
more important places. Train accidents and
problems are not Irequent.
Being a good neighbour can save lives. For
example, iI you visit an ill neighbour each
day, when something bad happens you will
know and be able to get help.
Technology can save lives in many ways. The
technology that hospitals use Ior operations is
a good example.
Probably, Technology can help save lives is
the best moral Ior the story because that is
what happened as the woman used her mobile
phone to call ahead for help.

An Englishman, Sir Henry Curtis, is in Africa
looking for his brother who has gone missing
while searching for King Solomons Mines. Alan
Quatermain, an adventurer and hunter who has a
map of the mines, agrees to help Sir Henry look
for his brother. A young African, Umbopa, travels
with them as their servant.
Walking across a desert, the group almost die
of thirst, but eventually reach mountains. They
cross the mountains into Kukuanaland, a country
in a hidden valley. Soldiers from the countrys
army capture Sir Henrys group and are going to
kill them, but suddenly become afraid when one
of the Englishmen behaves strangely. Soon the
Kukuanas believe that the men have strange and
powerful forces.
The Englishmen are taken to King Twala, a cruel,
violent man who kills anyone who opposes him.

To become king, he killed his brother and sent his
brothers wife and son Ignosi into the desert to die.
The servant Umbopa now tells the Englishmen
that he is really Ignosi. Then, with his own soldiers
and his English friends, he attacks the kings army.
In the battle that follows, Twala is killed. Then,
one of the old kings advisers, Gagool, takes the
group to King Solomon`s Mines, where they fnd
rooms full of gold and diamonds. While they are
looking at the treasure, Gagool escapes and traps
the Englishmen in the mine without food or water.
Fortunately, after a few days, they manage to get
out of the mine, taking enough diamonds to make
them rich.
The Englishmen say goodbye to the new King
Ignosi and start their journey home. On their way,
they stop at an oasis, where they fnd Sir Henry`s
brother.
He was searchi ng for Ki ng Sol omon s Mi nes.
Ignosi tries to persuade Sir Henry and his
friends to stay in his country. He offers them
gifts and a home, but they tell him they must
leave because they miss their own country.
Ignosi says they will always be remembered
in Kukuanaland.

Voice: If youre one of those travellers who prefers a
holiday off the beaten track, why not visit the
Dakhla oasis? Youve probably never heard
of Dakhla because it is the furthest oasis from
Egypts main towns and cities.
Dakhla is an unusual oasis because it is above sea level
in fact 122 metres above sea level. If you think of an
oasis as a small pond with palm trees around it, you
may be persuaded to rethink your ideas if you visit this
oasis. Dakhla consists of fourteen different settlements,
including the towns of Mut and Al-Qasr, and has a
population of 75,000 people. The oasis is supplied
with water that comes from more than 520 springs
and ponds. It is known that people have lived here for
thousands of years, but before roads were built across
the desert, hardly any visitors came to Dakhla because it
was so aifhcult to get there.
The main thing which attracts visitors to Dakhla is the
258

town of Al-Qasr. Although most of the old part of the
town has been abandoned, you can still see clearly what
life was like here in the past. The houses were designed
to keep people cool and comfortable in the summer heat
I neednt explain that this was before electricity and
air conditioning were invented.
The ola town of Mut was the hrst settlement at Dakhla,
but today its main attractions are its hotels and
restaurants. There is still an old town here with its mud
brick houses and narrow streets. Most of the inhabitants
of Mut are ready to leave their old houses if they are

1 Wh di d f d i I di ?
Diamonds are the worlds hardest, most valuable stones. They were formed, over millions of years,
deep under the earths surface by great heat and by the weight of the rocks above. Now scientists
can also make diamonds in their laboratories.
The rst diamonds were found thousands of years ago in India. Since then, they have been found
in more than 35 countries, including Brazil, Russia and South Africa. Today, most of the worlds
supply of diamonds comes from South Africa. Most diamonds are from open mines where large
amounts of rock have to be removed so that people can get to the stones. This process can
damage landscapes and be bad for the environment.
Although most people think of diamonds as jewellery, only 20% of diamonds are worn as jewellery.
The other 80% are used for industrial purposes, including cutting or polishing metals.

Man 1: Im here for a week with my wife and children.
Ive wanted to come here since I learnt about
Egypt at school. Were staying near Cairo
and while were here were going to see the
Pyramids at Giza, the Great Sphinx and other
ancient sites. My children have to study ancient
history at school next year, so this trip will
be very interesting for them. We must buy

the children are hoping to spend a day or two

for foreign visitors to Egypt. Of course, some
times of the year are busier than others for us.
There are parts of the year when my staff and I
have to work twelve hours a day for six days a
week, then other times are quieter, which means
that we dont have to work such long hours. I
enjoy my job especially when customers say
they have enjoyed the trips weve organised.
Sometimes I pretend to be a tourist and go on
the trips myself, because we must always make
sure that the customers are getting value for
money. It is essential for our reputation that we
look after tourists well. We mustnt forget that
tourism is very important for Egypt.

People have visit ed Egypt ever since Greek

began when an Englishman, Thomas Cook,
arranged the hrst pack age t our in 1841.
Package t ours are holidays arranged by
a t ravel company which include t ravel,
accommodat ion and somet imes meals for a
xed price.
Mass tourism as we know it today hrst
became popular in t he 1960s, when air
t ravel became cheaper, and t oday t ourism
is a huge business. Millions of holiday-
makers are carried by air t o destinations
all over t he world. Count ries on t he
Medit erranean coast alone at t ract 100
million t ourist s every summer!
Count ries make a lot of money out of
t ourism, but t here are also disadvant ages.
For example, every minut e of every day,
about one hundred Europeans visit Not re
Dame cat hedral in Paris. Their feet w ear
aw ay the stone foors. The buses waiting
for t he t ourist s produce pollut ion t hat
damages t he out side of t he building.
During t he t ourist season, many of t he
worlds great cities are very difhcult to live
in. Try ordinary food shopping in Prague or
Florence in t he middle of summer! Tourist s
wit h cameras block your way. Shopping is
impossible!
For Egypt , t ourism is t he second most
import ant earner of foreign currency aft er

shops and restaurants because the tourists
would bring them more business, too.

Suggested answers:
a Tourists can add to problems of pollution,
overcrowding, the wearing away oI and damage to
historical monuments. Tourists can disrupt the life of
local people and change the feeling of the location.
There is ecotourism in the deserts, along the Red
Sea, and in oases such as Siwa. Ecotourism is
different from other kinds of tourism because it tries
to respect the local environment. It looks careIully
at the consequences when creating tourist locations,
and considers the local countryside and wildlife as
well as eIIects on the lives oI the local community.

A, B, or C, would like. Remind them to think
carefully about their role.

Joice. Gooa afternoon. My talk toaay is about the
remarkable man Michael Crichton. Why is he
remarkable? Well, for several reasons. Firstly
because his books have sola more than 150
million copies. Seconaly, having trainea as
a aoctor, Crichton spent most of his career
working as a hlm airector, a TJ proaucer
ana, of course, a writer. Ana thiraly, although
many of his books are science hction stories
full of aaventure ana excitement, they are also
cautionary tales, warning how humans can
be affectea by science experiments which go
wrong.
Lets look at his life. Michael Crichton was
born in Chicago in 1942. He was a brilliant
stuaent at school ana went on to stuay
anthropology ana biology at Harvara. After
moving to Englana ana teaching anthropology
at Cambriage University, he went back to
Harvara to be trainea as a aoctor, but auring
this time he also wrote novels, using two names.
John Lange ana Jeffery Huason. Crichton was
awaraea a pri:e for one of these early novels.
One of the reasons Crichtons books were
so popular was that he wrote about science
ana scientihc problems in a way that coula
be unaerstooa by orainary people. In The
Andromeda Strain, written in 1969, Crichton
writes about humans who are infectea by germs
from space. In the 1990 novel Jurassic Park, he
consiaers the aangers of genetic engineering, of
human beings interfering with nature, ana his
2004 novel, State oI Fear, is about the aangers
of global warming.
Michael Crichton aiea in 2008, at the age of
sixty-six.

The story begins with reports of attacks by strange
animals on Isla Nublar, an island in the Pacic
Ocean off the coast of Costa Rica. Alan Grant, a
paleontologist (a scientist who studies prehistoric forms
of life), and a student, Ellie Sattler, are taken to the
island by its owner, the billionaire John Hammond,
to visit a special park which he has set up there.
When they arrive, they nd that the park is inhabited
by dinosaurs which have been produced by genetic
engineering. The animals are kept safely behind
electric fences and cannot escape. But then one of
the scientists who works at the park turns off all the
alarms so that he can steal some dinosaur eggs to
sell to another organisation. While the electricity is off,

kept safely behind electric
fences and cannot escape.

a Can scientic research help us to understand the past and make improvements for the future?
Give some examples.
b Jurassic Park is a science ction story, but does it describe any real dangers related to genetic
engineering?
some of the dinosaurs escape and start attacking and
killing humans. Alan Grant and a group of children
he is looking after are lost on the island and are in
great danger.
Scientists and engineers try to make the park safe
again, but it is too late. Some of the most dangerous
dinosaurs have escaped and are on a boat that is
sailing towards the mainland of Costa Rica.
To avoid more damage, the park is destroyed by
planes from Costa Rica. Then some of the survivors,
including Alan Grant, are put in prison for putting
peoples lives in danger. Later, it is reported that
a pack of unknown animals is eating crops and
attacking animals in Costa Rica.
This is the end of Jurassi c Par k, but the story continues

1 Look at the pictures and discuss these
questions in pairs.
1 Ask the students to look at the pictures and tell
you what they can see.
2 Ask them which problems are represented by
the pictures and which problems they think are
serious.
3 Encourage class discussion.
2 Ask them which words they already know and
if they can explain any of them in English.
3 Tell the students to look up all the words in their
syllable.
4 Now ask the students to explain all the words
to you.
Answers:
ban: to oIfcially say that something must not
be done, used, etc.
demand: if there is a demand for something, people
want to buy it
dependence: the state of needing someones or
somethings help in order to live or
continue
hunger: the feeling you have when you want or
need to eat; a severe lack of food,
especially for a long period of time
reduce: to make something become less in size,
amount, price, etc.
run out of: to use all of something so that there is
none left

Answers:
a They believe there are answers to the problems, but
all the countries of the world must work together.
b They suggest using electric cars and banning cars
from cities, or allowing people to use their cars
only on certain days and making people use public
transport. They suggest using more energy from
wind, waves and the sun.
T A P E S C R I P T
Nadia: The problems in these photos are quite
worrying, arent they, Azza?
Azza: Yes, but they are all problems we can solve.
Nadia: I suppose so, but well only succeed if all the
countries of the world work together.
Azza: Thats right. Countries cant do much on their
own.
Naaia. So what about pollution from trafhc in cities?
Azza: Well, there are lots of things we could do. We
could ban cars from cities and make people use
public transport you know, trains or buses.
Nadia: There are some places where people cant use
their cars every day of the week. For example,
if your car number plate ends in 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8,
you can only drive it in your city on Mondays,
Wednesdays or Fridays.
Azza: Thats a really good idea. If every city in the
worla aia that, we coula cut trafhc pollution by
hfty per cent.
Nadia: And that would help reduce global warming
and climate change, wouldnt it?
Azza: Yes. The other thing we could do is reduce
our dependence on fuels like gas and oil, by
increasing our use of energy from wind, waves
and the sun.
Nadia: But can we do that before we run out of oil?
Azza: Good question. I dont know, but there are
already cars which can use electricity that
will reduce the demand for oil.
Nadia: Personally, I think hunger is the worst problem.
I mean, its terrible that some people dont have
enough food to eat.
Azza: I agree, but theres actually plenty of food in the
world. We can feed everyone.
Nadia: So we could end world hunger if we thought it
was important enough.
Azza: I think so, yes.

1 Use your Active Study Dictionary to check
the meanings of these words and phrases.
Most people now accept the fact that the
worlds climate is changing. But why is this
happening and what can we do about it?
Scientists believe that there are a number
of natural reasons for climate change. One
could be changes in how much heat we get
from the sun. Another could be volcanoes.
When a volcano erupts, it sends dust
into the atmosphere. This stops some of
the suns light and can make our climate
cooler.
We have also been adding gases like
carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. These
greenhouse gases stop heat escaping,
which increases the earths temperature.
This is called the greenhouse effect.
The carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is
increasing mainly because we burn fuels
such as oil and gas. The fact that we
continue to destroy the rainforests (which
take in carbon dioxide and produce
oxygen) makes matters worse. If the carbon
dioxide in the atmosphere continues to
increase, scientists believe that by 2050,
the temperature of the earths surface
could go up by 2C.
How will global warming affect the
world? It is now known that the ice at the
Arctic and the Antarctic is melting. If this
continues, sea levels will rise and some
parts of the world will be ooded, making
many people homeless.
So what can be done? Countries must
stop destroying the rainforests and produce
less carbon dioxide. And, as individuals,
we must all reduce the carbon dioxide we
produce. This can be done by people using
cars only when they have to or by turning
down air conditioning in the summer.

North Sinai attracts ecotourists
El-Arish, a city in North Sinai, has always been one of the most important entrances to Egypt.
It was the way into Egypt for the Turkish and Roman armies, who destroyed the traditional
Arishi culture.
Now North Sinai is being improved, but there will be no new cities or industrial areas. Agriculture,
shing and tourism will be the most important activities.
The North Sinai Bedouins have not been travellers for many years. Today, many own farms on land
which used to be desert. Others are shermen on Lake Bardawil. The lives of Bedouin women
have also changed. They used to look after their families, but now some are businesswomen,
producing traditional carpets and other goods for tourists.
Although there are no historic sites in North Sinai, it is a pollution-free environment. This attracts
ecotourists, and ecotourism will help the area and protect its culture.

The worlds climate is changing. Scientists believe that this is due to a number of natural
reasons, like heat from the sun, volcanoes and the increase in carbon dioxide. Global warming
will cause ice in some regions to melt, sea levels will rise, there will be oods and lots of people

1 Why didnt the writers mother know how to cook?
I never did cooking at school. I learned everything I know from my mother. She decided to teach me because
when she and my father got married, she did not know how to cook even the simplest meals. This was because her
mother (my grandmother) had refused to let her in the kitchen while she was cooking. This meant that she had to
begin cooking lessons at the age of 23.
So, when I was only fve years old, my mother started teaching me. We began with simple things like eggs and
soup, then we moved on to chicken, meat and fsh and fnally bread and cakes. I particularly loved making bread:
when a new loaf comes out of the oven, it has a fantastic smell. I am really glad my mother taught me to cook. If I
have a child, I will do the same for him or her.

1 Why do homes which are made of ice stay warm?
g q
The people who live in the far north of Canada used to build their homes out of large blocks of ice. Because
these were hard and thick, their houses were well insulated and so the people were warm and comfortable. In
the hotter climate of North Africa, the Bedouin made their homes from animal skins. This made it easy for them
to move their home when looking for food. These are two examples of people who adapt their homes to ft their
lives.
Birds do this, too. Some types of birds, which spend their lives in the air looking for food, do not make new
nests every year, but return to the same nest again and again. And one particular type of bird does not build a nest
at all, but lays its eggs in the nest of another bird and leaves these birds to look after its young.

1 Why did the wise man stop?
2 Why did the traveller want the valuable stone?
A wise man, who was travelling in the mountains, found a valuable stone in a river where he had stopped to catch
fsh to eat. The next day, the man met another traveller who was poor and hungry, so he opened his bag to share his
food. The hungry traveller saw the valuable stone and asked for it. The man happily gave it to him.
The traveller left knowing that the stone was so valuable that he would be rich for the rest of his life. But a few days
later, he returned and gave the stone back to the wise man. Ive been thinking, he said. I know how valuable this
stone is, but Im giving it back in the hope that you can give me something even more valuable. Can you give me
what you have that made it possible for you to give me the stone?

1 Where can visitors see two markets?
2 What does off the beaten track mean?
Everyone knows that Tokyo, the capital of Japan, is one of the largest and busiest modern cities in the world. But for
travellers to Japan, there are many interesting places which are not too full of tourists. Here are two which are off
the beaten track.
Takayama is a beautiful old town in the mountains. It still has an ancient street market as well as a farmers market
along the river. Some of the buildings in Takayama are more than four hundred years old. A few of the oldest houses
are now museums where visitors can see what life in Japan was like in the past. Near to Takayama is an old village
where you can still see traditional carpenters at work.
Yamadera is a collection of temple buildings on the side of a mountain. It is diffcult to climb up to the temple, but
the view is beautiful.

2 What is special about the Selous Wildlife Park?
g q
The fantastic Selous Wildlife Park in the south of Tanzania is the largest wildlife area in the world and a great place
to see lions, elephants, giraffes, crocodiles and other wild animals. We stay in comfortable accommodation by the
Rufji River. From there we can drive into the park to look at the wildlife and take boat trips along the river. When it
is dark, we can watch the animals come down to the river to drink.
Then we fy to the island of Zanzibar. Here we can wander through the narrow streets of the old town with its
beautiful mosques and busy markets. We spend our last few days relaxing on Jambiani Beach, where we can go
swimming and diving.
This 14-day holiday costs from only 1,500 per person. Flights, all other travel and meals are included in the price.

1 Why didnt the writer travel to work by bus?

I always used to drive to work alone. The journey never took more than 30 minutes, even when it was busy. One
morning last month, I couldnt start my car and I had to use public transport. I waited at the bus stop. I couldnt get
on the frst bus because it was full, so I started walking. Ali, a friend from work, saw me from his car and stopped.
Whats happened to your car? he asked.
It wouldnt start, I said.
Ill take you, Ali said.
Thanks. Thats very kind, I said.
Ali drove me to work and back every day that week. I wanted to pay him for petrol, but Ali refused to take my
money. You can drive me to work next week, he said.
Now Ali and I always travel together. We take turns to drive. It costs less and I enjoy travelling with a friend.

Ice cream is frozen sweet food made of milk or cream and sugar. The Chinese were the rst people
to invent ice cream in the fourth century BC. It is surprising that the amounts of ice cream eaten in
cold European countries are more than those eaten in hot countries.
