IJI Ask and answer the questions in exercise 7. Then
think of more questions using more blue words from
the text.
A News about the internet and social networks
never seems to be good. The latest l've seen
concerned a fifteen-year-old who posted a
party invitation online and ended up with 200
gatecrashers wrecking her home, a four-year-old
being treated for internet addiction, and the tragic
case of a young girl whose life was made a misery
by cyberbullies. In fact, reading the news, you'd
think the internet was to blame for everything,
including the complete breakdown of language,
communication and morals in modern society. But
is that really true?
B Whilst the language of chatrooms and tweets is
abbreviated and basic, there are plenty of articulate
bloggers out there, and people publishing e-books.
So, more people are writing than ever befare.
As for the spoken word, there is certainly more
screen time now and less face-to-face dialogue,
but that doesn't mean that there is a lack of
communication. Social networking is a way of
keeping in touch with more people, more often.
lf you feel you haven't got time to be with certain
people, you can still know what they're doing and
comment on it and that makes us feel closer.
lt's true, though, that posting updates and
cultivating followers and 'likes' on Facebook,
Twitter and lnstagrarri can become time-consuming
and addictive. A friend of mine recently deleted
her accounts because she thought that she was
spending too much time in contact with people
who she didn't really care about. She also worried
constantly about her profile and status updates,
and even admitted that she had invented things
to make her life look more interesting. Curing her
own addiction wasn't easy, but she did it. 'When 1
first logged off, 1wanted to go online again straight
away,' she said, 'but the longer 1 stayed off, the
more 1 realized that 1 didn't need it. Now l've got
a better relationship with my family and my "real"
40
friends.'
D More sinister than Facebook addiction are issues
such as bullying, spreading malicious gossip
and rumours and other bad online behaviour.
'Technology magnifies our behaviour,' says Jodi
4S
Smith, president of the etiquette firm Mannersmith.
'People with good manners still have good
manners, but those with bad manners now have
glaringly bad manners.' Weirdos, bullies and
gatecrashers have always existed, but now the
so
internet gives them anonymity and easier targets.
A recent study found that 7.5 million Facebook
users were younger than thirteen and the majority of
them said that they were unsupervised. So parents
really need to wake up. And all of us need to ask
ss
ourselves two things befare putting anything on
the internet. Firstly, do 1mind who sees this? And
. secondly, do 1mind that this will be around fa rever?
E Like it or not, the internet is here to stay and it isn't
the web or social networks which are good, bad or
Go
stupid; it's the users. The fact is that the only person
responsible for your actions in this world is you. So
be careful out there ...

notebook.

your notebook.

Does the writer agree with the statement in the title?
2
Which of the writer's arguments do you agree or
disagree with?
Paragraph 1
1 Does the writer give a clear opinion in this
paragraph?
2 What phrases introduce opinions in this
paragraph and in paragraphs 2 and 4?
Paragraph 2
ADVANCES IN TECHNOLOGY MEAN THAT WE WON'T NEED
TO LEARN LANGUAGES AT SCHOOL IN THE FUTURE. DO
AGREE?
2
3
These days, technology already enables us to translate
languages quite easily without having to learn a language
at all. In the future, computers will be able to do this task
even more effectively. Despite that, I believe that there will
always be good reasons to learn languages at school.
First and foremost, we will always need spoken language
for face-to-face communication. While computers
will be able to help with that, they are not ideal for
communicating. They can be slow, for instance, and
are impersonal. What is more, a language helps us to
understand a country and its people. In my opinion, we
should therefore make an effort to learn other languages if
we have any interest in travel, business or other cultures.
It is also important to consider the advantages of
languages as part of education. For example, learning a
language provides balance and contrast with other less
communicative subjects. Furthermore, as technology
reduces the need to communicate face to face, it is
important that people stilllearn interpersonal skills.
In conclusion, I would say that learning languages will
always be an important part of our education, whatever
technology is available, so I do not agree with the
statement.
3 What does that refer to?

~! Literature
James Huggins: 'Remember When'
1 Read the Context. What words can you think
of in your language which are used both for
technology and other things? What are their English
translations?
'Remember When' is a poem which plays with words that
have more than one meaning. As technology develops new
words are created, such as phab/et (a mixture of phone and
tablet), but many old words are also borrowed. Tweet, for
example, is what people do on Twitter but it is also the noise
which a small bird makes. In a playful way, the poem laments
how technology has changed our lives and language.

Which are the hardest obstacles, in your
opinion?
O
There's no shortage of endurance events these days. Marathons, triathlons,
ultramarathons, superswims and megacycles are relatively common. Even the monstrous
Marathon des Sables- a six-day, 251-kilometre run through the Sahara- attracts more
than 1,000 entrants. But there's now a new type of event which is putting the fun back
into fitness. Welcome to the world of extreme obstacle races, in which competitors run,
climb, crawl and swim through events with names like Spartan Beast and Rugged Maniac.
There's even one called Run For Your Uves, in which 'zombies' chase the participants.
O
But undisputedly the most successful event of all is Tough Mudder. This event, which
is described by organizers as 'the toughest on the planet; is a half marathon which
incorporates a gruelling series of 25 military-fitness-style obstacles such as 'The electric
eel; where competitors must crawl through freezing water, getting 10,000-volt electric
shocks if their body touches one of the wires above them. At the 'lsland hopping' obsta ele
they jump across from one artificial island to another, at 'Everest' they must somehow
climb up a very slippery metal slope and at 'Walk the plan k' they jump into more freezing
water from a 4.5-metre-high platform. That's not to mention the parts where they must
run through fire or wade through more than 1.5 kilometres of waist-high mud.

'Personal endurance challenges like lron Man, marathons and triathlons are definitely on
the increase, but a lot of people, including our founders, find training for those events
quite boring and repetitive; says Sarah Harvey ofTough Mudder UK. 'With this event yo u
never know what to expect, beca use the course is never the same:The courses, which are
designed by army specialists, are supposed to 'test all-round strength, stamina, mental
grit and camaraderie:Winning isn't everything in Tough Mudder and participants are
expected to help each other, as getting over a mud-covered wall alone, for example,
is not much fun. So at the start of each event the compere reminds the 'mudders' that
'teamwork and camaraderie are more important than your time:

Tough Mudder was founded in 201 Oby two British businessmen called Will Dean and
Guy Livingstone. Dean developed his business plan while studying at Harvard Business
School. The company now makes over $70 mi Ilion ayear and has more than 50 events
planned worldwide for next year. lts astonishing popularity is fuelled by people's desire
todo something both challenging and fun. Taking part is the most important thing, so
there are no prizes except for an orange banda na for those who finish. The exception
is a cash prize at the 'World's Toughest Mudder; a championship for which only people
with the top five per cent fastest times that year are eligible. They then have 24 hours to
complete the course as many times as possible. The record is nine times- that's 90 miles
oftorture. One year, 90% of entrants dropped out.
O
So whilst they can be fun, these are endurance challenges for seriously fit adrenaline
junkies. According to one participan!, whose advice was todo plenty of training, 'lf
yo u're not fit enough you'll hate every minute- it's the difference between a
brilliant experience and the PE class from hell:

Bargains! Unbeatable offers! Buy now, pay later! lt's
ha~d to resist the spending frenzy when you're constantly
bemg bombarded by the banners and the bright lights.
And if you're one of the six per cent of the population
who is a compulsive shopper, it's particularly difficult.
Most of us like occasional shopping trips ora bit of
'retail therapy', but there is a point when purchasing
becomes pathological. That point is reached when
someone goes on spending even if it causes financia!
or family problems or involves deceit, such as hiding
receipts or packaging. People who cross that lineare
referred to colloquially as 'shopaholics'. Officially their
'compulsive buying disorder' is considered an illness.
ysually, the idea is, "1 see it, 1 like it, 1want it, 1'11 buy
1t- and damn the consequences,'" says psychiatry
professor Donald W. Black. Shopaholics are on a high
when they buy, but the thrill fades fast, and sufferers can
quickly find themselves feeling down as well as up to
their eyeballs in debt. Compulsive shoppers themselves
often know what drives them. Those who are depressed
think that perfect clothes or more possessions will cheer
them up. 'Buying $300 jeans, 1felt better than everybody
else,' says Brian Kearney, a 20-year-old student. He says
he knew he had a serious problem when he was getting
through $1,500 a month on designer clothes, shoes,
sunglasses and expensive gifts for friends.
Ryan Nicodemus, on the other hand, was never given
much as a kid, but made up for it when he got his first
job. 'When the latest iPod carne out, 1 always had to
buy it, and the latest computer, the latest TV and the
latest video games,' he says. 'lt didn't matter how much
money 1 made, 1always spent more.' Arzu Yonak says she
shopped to get through the boredom of living in rural
Ohio. Then her habit got out of hand when she moved to
New York and was allowed to use her father's credit card
~t the age of 20. '1 remember having five shopping bags
m one hand and the phone in the other, saying "Mom, 1
can't stop!"'
Sorne shopaholics are compulsive gift-givers. Others
have tough jobs, working hard all day and needing a
reward at the end of it. And for all shoppers, the internet
can be a dangerous place, as no physical money
changes hands and the speed and ease of transactions
leaves no time for second thoughts. Youngsters in
particular are being bitten by the online shopping bug.
In a survey for a British psychology journal, 44% of
the teenagers interviewed showed signs of compulsive
shc;:¡pping habits, often on the internet.

The good .news is that facing up to the causes can help
sufferers fmd a cure. One therapist called Randy Frost
encourages his clients to go on 'non-shopping trips'.
They go into their favourite shop, browse and maybe
hold things, but then leave without buying anything.
That's hard when you're hooked on shopping. But
people can be cured, like former sufferer Ryan
Nicodemus, who is now a 'minimalist, and writes
books and blogs about living a meaningful life with
less stuff.' For him, feeling good no longer costs an arm
anda leg.

3 Shoppers think that online shopping is relatively safe.
4 They promised me a complete refund.
5 The company gave us a guarantee.
Tips for transforming passive and active sentences:
• Remember- the object of an active sentence becomes
the subject in the passive and vice versa.
• Decide which verb tense you need to use and whether
you need an agent.
• Passive with two objects- the indirect object usually
becomes the subject in the passive.

A In San Francisco in the 1960s, a colourful revolution
was in the air. The hippie * movement blossomed
there as young people became disenchanted with the
government, the war in Vietnam and the materialistic
values of society at the time. They rejected the greed
and selfishness of capitalism. For them it seemed
morally wrong that sorne people lived in mansions
while others were homeless, and that people competed
with each other rather than working together. Hippies
sought a more sharing, peace-loving and spiritual way
of life.
The hippie movement reached its peak in the summer
of 1967, with events like the Monte rey pop festival.
In the song 'San Francisco', Scott McKenzie sang 'if
you're going toSan Francisco, be sure to wear sorne
flowers in your ha ir', and an estimated 100,000 'flower
children' flocked to the city from all over the world,
attracted by the psychedelic music scene and the
hippies' values of peace, love and freedom.
In the following years, many West Coast hippies headed
for other parts of the USA to set up communes,
inspired by the idea that communities should share
their resources. One group of 320 people, led by a
charismatic English professor called Stephen Gaskin,
set off in a caravan of old school buses, vans and
trucks. Putting together the money they had, the group
bought ruralland in Tennessee, and the commune they
started became known as The Farm.
Membership of The Farm meant that you had to accept
Gaskin as leader, sign a vow of poverty and hand over all
money and possessions to the group. 'Farmies', as they
sometimes called themselves, lived in their buses or put
up tents or shelters. Later they built homes which often
housed ten or twelve families each. Vegetarianism was
compulsory and alcohol was banned. Clothes were all
second-hand, and if you wanted a car, you borrowed one
from the car pool.

E Hippies have often come up
against prejudice from
mainstream society, who
think they are workshy, but
everybody worked hard on The
Farm; teaching, painting, farming
or looking after the animals, vehicles
or the store. lf you didn't work, you were
asked to leave. Sorne people did odd jobs in the nearby town
to earn money for extra supplies, like sugar and oil, which they
shared out equally. They taught themselves to work the land and
mainly ate what they grew.
F
In the mid-70s the Farm was home to 1, 500 people, but they
were living below the poverty line and surviving on the equivalent
of less than one dollar a day was a struggle. In 1983 residents
voted to give up the communal experiment and many moved out.
The exodus left fewer than 300 people on the farm and about
170 remain today, living happily but working for themselves.
G Though few of the hippie communes still exist, their legacy
remains. Large numbers of people are again choosing alternative
lifestyles in eco-villages, cooperatives and other types of
'intentional communities' which are springing up around the
globe. Despite the different names, these communities echo the
hippie commune ideals of peace, sharing and sustainability. The
hippies wanted to change the world, and who knows, maybe their
grandchildren will finish the job.
* Hippie comes from the word 'hipster', which was the na me
given to someone who was 'cool' in the 60s.

~~~.~~~~~j~~. we should be optimistic about creating a better society.
Looking back through history, there have been great civilizations which have
left a legacy of culture, laws and systems of government.
our
quality of life has improved over the years, and society has a strong base
which it can build on.
3
the progress which we make over time, human
beings often act as individuals who only want the best for themselves or their
own social groups rather than society as a whole.
there have
always been wars, there has always been poverty and there has always been
inequality.
it appears that human nature doesn't seem to change
much over time,
a lot of the problems that societies have faced in the past
are still problems today.
4 On balance 1
believe that, even though we are making progress and
we may want to create a better world, it will be impossible to have a perfect
society whilst humans themselves are imperfect.

This is an extract from a song which was first recorded by Harry
McCiintock in 1928. lt describes what paradise would be like for a
'hobo'. Hobos were poor, often homeless migratory workers, who
travelled around the USA looking for employment. They travelled
illegally in the boxcars (freight wagons) of trains.
McCiintock himself had been a hobo and knew what it was like
to travel around the country in boxcars, sleep in barns and be
stopped constantly by the police. The song was probably based
on other folk songs of the time, such as 'Hobo Heaven'. lt has
been sung by many different artists over the years, and there are
several versions online.

Reading Cosmetic surgery & the media
1 . . Look at the title of the text and the
photos. Discuss the questions.

As soft music plays in the operating theatre, the surgeon
works calmly and carefully. The procedure takes about 90
minutes and when the patient wakes up he'll be sore. He'll
also be about $4,000 poorer when he leaves the clinic.
s However, in a few weeks he'll feel that it was worth the
pain and the money when he looks in the mirror and sees
a perfect nose, rather than the one he had hated for so
many years. (1) ...
Cosmetic surgery is a boorning business. (2) ... These days
it is more popular and more widely available than ever
before. Opinion polls indicate an increasing acceptance of
cosmetic surgery as part of normallife. One survey found
that nearly 50% of young women in Britain were going
to have cosmetic surgery in the near future. Teenagers too
are 'going under the knife'.This is sometimes necessary for
birth defects or injuries, but many procedures on undereighteens are simply 'beauty enhancement'. Sorne doctors
criticize parents who allow youngsters to change their
bodies while they're still growing. They suggest waiting a
while before reducing, enhancing or flattening proportions
which rnight be naturally different in a few years anyway.
The boom in cosmetic surgery also horrifies sociologists,
who think that our preoccupation with beauty rnight be
a sign that society is becoming more superficial. (3) ...
Certainly, body image is under attack from the perfection
portrayed in advertising by the fashion and beauty
industries. Television has also played its part. In
particular, a number of reality TV series convinced
their viewers that a makeover was something
which they rnight need and which they needn't
feel guilty about. (4) ...
The names of those programmes resonated
with prornise: The Swan, Ten Years Younger,
Make Me Peifect. Poland's frrst surgery show,
Make Me Beautiful, attracted 100,000 applicants
for the first series, and one of the most
successful progranrrnes, Extreme Makeover, was
shown in 30 European countries. Each episode
introduced participants and discussed their
'defects'. (5) ... Then carne the transformationa makeover usually involving multiple surgical
procedures, new teeth, designer clothes and a lot
of make-up. The climax revealed the transformed
protagonist, as their amazed friends and farnily
applauded. Sorne makeovers were truly amazing, and
showed how cosmetic surgery could make people
happy. What the media sometimes ignored was the sadder
side of the beauty business. Cases, for example, like Muriel
Bessis, who had eleven operations and years of problems.
Because of poor quality surgery, Muriel couldn't close her
ey~s for a year and had to sleep with her eyes open.
·'!.·
Fortunately there is currently a trend in the media to
be slightly more realistic about looks and beauty.At
least one cosmetics company now includes models
of a1l shapes and sizes in its adverts, and their 'real
beauty' campaigns have been hugely successful. (6) ...
In an ideal future, the media message would be that
although none of us are perfect, we are perhaps more
beautiful than we think. Until that happens people
will continue to have surgery which they don't really
need and which they can't really afford.

Read the summaries again and answer
the questions in the Text analysis in
your notebook.
Summary A
Look at sentences 1-3. In which
paragraphs of the original text can you
find each piece of information?
2 What is the meaning of the blue words
and phrases?
3 What modal verb is in the summary?
SummaryB
4 Match three sentences from the
summary with sentences A-C. Are these
good or bad features of a summary?
1 People really started taking the (1) ... of school uniforms more
seriously in the USA after former president Bill Clinton challenged
primary and middle schools to make uniforms compulsory 'if it means
that teenagers will stop killing each other over designer jackets.' As
a result, uniforms have become far more common than before, but
teachers and (2) ... don't always seem to agree about them.
2 In schools with a compulsory uniform policy, teachers have noticed a

are no longer allowed to wear gang colours or expensive, distracting

academic performance, as students supposedly have higher
self-esteem and better focus when they are 'dressed for success' in
uniforms.
3 Despite teachers' observations, however, not everyone agrees.
So me sociologists claim that the research does not always show that
uniforms cause all these positive effects. They say that the studies
are inconclusive, with improvements in (S) ... and performance
possibly dueto many other factors.
4 Confronted with the inconclusive nature of the studies, teachers,
school governors and most parents still trust their instincts. Those
instincts say that if everyone looks the same, there are obviously
fewer (6) ... for kids to fight about. Common sense, in this case,
outweighs the research.
Summary A
The text discusses whether school uniforms are
beneficia! or not. (1) Where school uniforms
are wom, behaviour and academic results have
improved. (2) Sociologists claim that these
benefits may have been caused by other things.
(3) However, teachers' and parents' experiences
still tell them that it's better for students to wear
uniforms.
A This sentence gives unnecessary detail.
B This is a personal opinion.
C This is copied directly from the text.
Summary B
(1) The text discusses the advantages and
disadvantages of school uniforms. (2) An American
ex-president tried to persuade people that
uniforms made schools safer. (3) Teachers and
sociologists don't always seem to agree about
them. (4) According to teachers, uniforms improve
behaviour and results. (5) However, sociologists
say this may be caused by other things. (6) 1think

didn't know what he wanted todo with it, so he set off
on a mission to discover his passion. He started a new
job each Monday for a year, working as a dairv farmer,
florist, yoga instructor, astronomer, firefighter, and so on
and so on. He slept on 55 beds, couches and floors as he
travelled 46,685 miles around the USA and Canada trying
to answer the eternal question, 'What do 1want to do
when 1grow up?'
But where would anyone get such an idea? Sean blames
his father. 'lt's all his fault,' he says, laughing. 'We were all
sitting around the dinner table discussing "What should
Sean do with his life?" My dad said, "lt doesn't matter
35
what you do, Sean -just make sure it's something that
you're passionate about." So that made me think, how
many people are in the same job for 30 or 40 years and
they don't necessarily like what they're doing? 1didn't
know what 1wanted todo, but 1knew that 1wanted it
40
to be something 1was happy doing. 1started flipping
through the classifieds in the newspaper and looking at
all these differentjob titles. They all sounded really cool,
but 1had no idea what the job would actually be like.
That's how 1came up with the idea to start my One45
Week Job Project.'
As news of his idea spread through his website and the
media, people called and emailed him with more job
offers than he was able to take up, including sixteen
to work as a nanny. So me of the jobs he turned down
so
were dog groomer, tattoo remover and a job in a
slaughterhouse. When employers took him on, he
asked them to donate his salary to charity, as his travel
and living expenses were sponsored by NiceJob.ca, a
Canadian job search engine.
a
O
One of the aims of Sean's project was simply to learn
from people, rather than trying to get ahead or find
the perfectjob, which probably doesn't exist. '1 would
as k my co-workers what they like most about their
job and the most common answer was that they liked
the people they worked with,' says Sean. lt seemed
that having relationships with colleagues was often
more satisfying for people than the work itself. He also
learned that being a high-flyer with a six-figure salary
might not necessarily be the route to contentment.
One of the happiest people he met was Chet, a
cowboy from Wyoming who said, 'Money is not
important to me. 1make enough money to get by and
that's alll need. llave my life. llave what 1do.'
Of course after all this, the inevitable question for
Sean is: 'Now do you know what you want to do with
your life?' His answer is typically philosophical and
positive: '1 realized what makes me happy today is not
necessarily the same thing that will make me happy
five years down the road. The reality is that l'm going
to have five or six careers in my life. lnstead of being
overwhelmed by that, now l'm excited about it.'

The famous English author Charles Dickens wrote Oliver
Twist in 1838, when society cared very little for the poor or
(1) .... The novel tells the story of a young (2) ... who was
taken toan institution called a workhouse at the age of nine.
Workhouses provided accommodation and work to the poor,
but the (3) ... there were very harsh. Eventually he is sold for
f5 toa 1 an (4) ... for whom he works almost as a slave.
After an argument, Oliver runs away to London. There he
meets a 1 an (5) ... young man called the Dodger, who takes
him to the house where he lives with a group of young (6) ...
and an old man called Fagin. The extract starts at this point.
15
Oliver wondered why the old man lived in such an old,
dirty place when he had so many watches, but then he
thought that it must cost Fagin a lot of money to look after
the Dodger and the other boys. So he said nothing, and got
up and washed. When he turned towards Fagin, the box
had disappeared.
Soon the Dodger entered with a cheerful young man
narned Charley Bates.
20
'Have you been at work this morning?' Fagin asked the
Dodger.
'Hard at work,' answered the Dodger.
'Good boys, good boys!' said Fagin. 'What have you got?'
'A couple ofpocket-books* and sorne handkerchieves*.'
2 ~J) 2.16 Read the extracts from 0/íver Twist. What
kind of 'work' do you think Fagin's boys do? Why?
3
25
'Good workers, aren't they, Oliver?' said the old man.
30
'Very good,' said Oliver. The others started laughing,
though Oliver saw nothing funny in his answer. Fagin
inspected the handkerchieves and told the two boys that
they were extremely well made and that he was pleased
with their work.
35
Later, the boys went out again to do sorne more work.
When they had gone, Fagin turned to Oliver. 'Take my
advice, my dear,' he said. 'Make them your models.
Especially the Dodger. He'll be a great man himself, and
will make you one too, if you copy him.'
40
The Dodger and Charley Bates went out to work every day,
but sometinws carne home with no handkerchieves, and
Fagin would get very angry. Once he even knocked them
both down the stairs and sent them to bed with no dinner
because they had returned with nothing.
Read the extracts again and answer the questions in
your notebook.
1 What do you think the boys are really doing when
they first 'greet' Oliver?
2 ls Oliver innocent or streetwise?
3 What does Oliver think that Fagin does with his money?
4 What are Fagin's plans for Oliver?
5 What adjectives would you use to describe Fagin?
Oliver meets Fagin
'This is him, Fagin,' the Dodger said to the old man. 'My
friend Oliver Twist.'

10
Fagin smiled and shook Oliver's hand. Then all the young
gentlemen carne up to him and shook both hands very
hard, especially the hand which held his few possessions.
One of the boys was particularly kind. He even put his
hands in Oliver's pockets so that Oliver would not have
to empty them himself when he went to be d. The boys
would probably have been even more helpful, but Fagin
hit them on their heads and shoulders until they left
Oliver alone.
Oliver sleeps at the house and when he wakes he
sees Fagin looking at the contents of a box which
contains watches and jeweUery.

designer suit which she thought was a bargain, but
it ended up costing an arm and a hand. However,
when she asked the auction website for her money
back she was telling that they never give refits

lt appear that more and more young people are
getting into trouble with the police. The question is,
should young offenders be sent to 'prison', or not?
On the one hand, if someone has committed a crime
then they should be punished. On the second hand,
young people should be given a second chance. Another thing for consider
is that nowdays young offenders' institutions are overcrowded, so perhaps
young people should be given community service insteado One vantage of
this is that we can teach them useful skiUs foremployment.

Ouestion forms
Questions which use continuous forms use the main verb
Unit 1
We use reported speech to express what another person has
said without using their exact words. In formal language we
use that to begin the reported speech el ause, but we often
omit it in informal speech.
'1 have. a he.adache.,' said +he. woMa~.
The. woMa~ said C.f-ha.f-) she. had a he.adache.. When we change direct speech into reported speech, we
change the tense of the main verb by putting it one step

Reported questions
Reported questions have a different word arder from direct
questions (the same as an affirmative sentence). We also
change the tenses used in the same way as we do for reported
statements.
Verb + subject (direct question)
'Wh10-r10- art. ':fOU +'rom~' sh10- ask10-ci.
Subject + verb (reported question)
Sh10- ask10-ci m10- tt)l-\10-riO- l141aS +rom.
lf a direct question uses question words such as who, why,
when, how or what, we repeat the question word in the
reported question.
'UkA..¡..'s -f-h10- -f-im10-~ 1 -+ Sl-\10- ask10-J m10- 14Jka..¡.. -f-h10- -f-im10- tt)aS.
lf a direct question doesn't use question words, we use if or
whether in the reported question instead.
'Ar10- tjou happtj?' h10- ask10-ci h10-r. -+ H10- ask~ 1-\10-r

Relative pronouns & adverbs
We use relative pronouns and adverbs to add a new relative
clause to a sentence. We choose a relative pronoun or adverb
that refers to the noun befare the relative clause:
bo!:fl
bo':f l4lko wo~ -f-h10- rac10-/
We use who or that to refer to people.
miO- platjiO-r l4lko 1 &..¡.. Scor10-J -f-h10- qoa! ÍS happtj.

ma+'s &

Definíng & non-defining relative clauses
Defining relative clauses give essential information about the
noun they follow. Without the relative clause, the sentence
would be incomplete and would not make sense. Compare:
5
that~
what & which
Tha-t-'s 1-ke. a-t-hle-1-e..
Tha-t-'s +he. a-t-kle-1-e.
l4lko
WOil

~.
Non-defining relative clauses give extra, non-essential
information about the noun they follow. lf we remove the
relative clause, the sentence still makes sense. Compare:
That is used:
to refer to a noun 1 nouns that come(s) before it.

The.re.'s 11.~ &+ca~ be. done..
We can combine two simple sentences in two ways by using
non-defining clauses. We usually put the less important piece
of information into the non-defining clause.

in informal style instead of where, if we add a place
preposition at the end of the clause.
Omitting relative pronouns
Note: We can omit who, when, where, which or that if it is the
object of a defining relative clause, but we cannot omit whose.
This is very common in spoken English.
The.se. are. +he. +rai~e.rs Cwhich 1 1-ha.f-) he. wore. whe.~ he.
broke. +he. worid re-cord.
We always use commas to separate a non-defining clause from
the rest of the sentence. We cannot omit who, which, when
or where from a non-defining relative clause, nor can we start
one with that.
His +oo.f-ball ki-t-, which his dad bot~qh+, was otpe.~sive..

6 Correct the errors in the sentences in your notebook.

same tense as we would in the active sentence:
One sentence is correct. In which sentences can the

Active & passive forms
We form the passive voice with be + past participle. We use be
in the same tense that we would use in the active sentence.
Cac+ive.l Consumers buy many products online. -+
Cpassive.l Many products are bought online by consumers.
Some irregular verbs have very different past participles.
See irregular verb list on pages 150-151
Sorne verbs don't have a passive form. This includes intransitive
verbs (which don't take an object) such as die, s/eep and swim.
Use
We use the passive to emphasize the action (the verb) rather
than who or what (the agent) did the action. Compare:
l bouqit+ a ne..w pitone. las+ .wuk. (Active- it is important to
say who bought it.)
lhousands o+ ne..w pitone-s are. bouqit+ e.ve.rtj Jatj. (Passiveit isn't important to say who buys them.)
In active sentences, the subject of the verb is also the agent
(the person doing the action). When we change an active
sentence into the passive, the object of the active sentence
becomes the subject. We add by+ agent to the end of the
passive sentence to show who is doing the action.
Form
The present simple passive is formed as follows:

Passive with two objects
When an active sentence has two objects, there are two
possible passive sentences. To rewrite this kind of sentence in
the passive, one of the objects becomes the subject and the
other remains the object. The object that is changed into the
subject is emphasized.

Conditionals
Conditional sentences contain two clauses: a conditional
clause (which starts with if) and a result clause.
We can change the order of the two clauses, but when the
conditional clause comes first, we follow it with a comma.

A head for figures
m
'l've always been rubbish at maths.'
How often have you heard statements like
this? You might even have made them
yourself. According to many teachers and
educationalists, maths anxiety is a longstanding problem which is preventing
many children and adults from fulfilling
their potential.
ll 'The "1 can't do maths" attitude is
alarmingly widespread,' claims Martin
Trigg, a secondary school maths teacher
from Manchester. 'The trouble is that once
you start believing you can't cope with
numbers, that's exactly what happens.
Anxiety seriously impairs your capacity
to hold information in your head and
solve problems. When you get the answer
wrong, this confirms your fears.'
B Maths anxiety may affect up to 2
million children in the UK, but the issue
doesn't disappear when they leave school.
'lf we don't tackle these insecurities
early, they will probably affect people into
middle age and beyond,' says Trigg. '1 see
it in parents all the time. For instance,
1recently met a woman at a party and
when 1told her what my job was, she
looked absolutely horrified. She then
proceeded to tell me - in front of her
teenage daughter- how irrelevant algebra
was to the real world. lt's an unfortunate
message to give your children if you want
them to succeed academically.'
[!1 Why, then, does this attitude
have such a firm grip on our society?
'Saying that you can't do maths has
become socially acceptable,' observes
Trigg. 'Curiously, people don't admit to
struggling with reading and writing in the
same way. No one wants to be thought of
as illiterate, but people seem to take pride
in being bad at maths. lt's almost become
a badge of honour.' According to Margaret
Lester, an adult education instructor from
South London, an underlying belief in a
'maths gene' may be partly responsible.
'People make this assumption without
realizing it,' she says. 'There's an idea
that sorne people are naturally able to do
maths and others aren't. Blaming biology
for your inadequacies implies that there
is nothing you can doto change them.
lt encourages laziness.' Adam Miller of
the educational charity Numeracy Counts
agrees. 'The existence of a maths gene
remains to be established, but growing
evidence suggests that practice is a major
factor in achievement. In sorne parts of
the world, children are brought up to
believe that anyone can succeed at maths
with enougti effort. Unsurprisingly, they
often get better results.'
O Trigg is optimistic that steps can be
taken to combat maths anxiety. 'Attitudes
don't change overnight, but 1think we can
help pupils understand the feelings they
are experiencing a bit better. As teachers,
it is our responsibility to ensure that the
emotional aspects of learning aren't
neglected.'

The perfect blend
IJ With 'mochaccino' and 'caramel
macchiato' now part of our everyday
vocabulary, it is difficult to believe that
20 years ago freeze-dried instant coffee
was marketed to British consumers as the
ultimate in sophistication. The explosion
of branded coffee chains at the turn of
the millennium marked the beginning of
a new era of Americanized coffee culture
across the globe and in the UK, a country
renowned for its love of tea.
llJ Seattle-based coffee company
Starbucks underwent a meteoric
expansion at the start of the century,
perhaps because of the popularity of the
US sitcom Fríends. Starbucks opened its
first London store in 1998. By 2007, you
could stand on the comer of Regent Street
and Wigmore Street in central London and
be within a five-mile radius of 164 of its
branches.
liJ The founder of Starbucks, Howard
Schulz, wanted his coffee shops to
become a 'third place', neither an office
nora home but something in between.
People could go there not just to catch
up with friends or grab a snack, but also
to read the paper, type up a report, knit
a jumper or write a novel. This coincided
with the economic and technological
boom which started in the late 90s. The
typical Starbucks customer was young,
dynamic and tech-savvy, willing to pay
several pounds for a cappuccino if he
could sip it on a plush sofa while enjoying
free wi-fi access.
liJ Branded coffee quickly became a
status symbol. Striding through London's
streets with an oversized cardboard coffee
cup showed the world that you were
cash-rich and time-poor- successful,
well-off and far too important to waste
time sleeping or making your own
coffee. Coffee became more and more
sophisticated and 2008 saw the UK
launch of the world's most expensive
coffee, kopí luwak. Costing f51 a cup,
it was made from beans that had been
eaten and excreted by civet cats, small
tree-dwelling mammals from Indonesia.
While sorne raved about its intense
aroma, others concluded that the coffee
obsession had gone too far.
DI When the recession hit in 2007,
people cut back on their spending and
high-street stores started going out of
business. lt was predicted that Starbucks
and its rivals would go the same way.
In fact, the opposite happened. The
British might have been cash-strapped,
but they were not prepared to give up
their morning latte. Costa Coffee, one
of Starbucks's main competitors, was

and, in 2011, grew by 9. 7% in just eleven
weeks.
DI How long coffee can remain an
affordable luxury is unclear, as coffee
bean prices have increased sharply in
the last ten years. Climate change is
leading to rising temperatures and long
droughts between periods of heavy
rainfall in coffee-producing countries,
with serious consequences for crops. But
with coffee shops still springing up across
the country, there is little to suggest
that British coffee culture is in imminent
danger.

Sign of the times
IJ The number of people using American
Sign Language (ASL) as a first or second
language has been estimated at between
100,000 and 500,000, making it the fourth
most used language in the US and Ganada.
Yet many people know little about the
evolution of sign languages and how they
are responding to the digital age.
IJit is a common assumption that sign
languages are less complex than spoken
languages. 'This is completely wrong,'
says Dr Marianne Atwell, an ASL lecturer
in the US. 'Sign languages have highly
sophisticated grammars. Whereas spoken
languages mark verb tenses by changing
the roots or endings of verbs - the past
simple "-ed" ending in English, for example
- sign languages do this by modifying
movements.'
Other misconceptions about sign
languages are that they have a direct
relationship with spoken languages or that
there is one international sign language.
Neither is the case. 'There are hundreds
of them and they are not based on spoken
m
languages,' says Atwell. 'Countries which
share a spoken language may also share
a sign language, but not always.' She
also says that while it is straightforward
for British and North American English
speakers to communicate, it is not for
their deaf communities. ASL is completely
different from BSL.
As with spoken languages, history
determines how sign languages spread
across the globe. Sometimes they spread
in similar ways to spoken languages, but
in many cases, they do not. ASL:s French
influence carne about because Thomas
Hopkins Gallaudet, who founded the first
school for deaf people in the US, had
travelled to France to learn about deaf
education befare returning home.
D So why is there such a diversity of sign
languages? 'For the same reason that there
are so many spoken languages,' Atwell
explains. 'They evolve naturally within
communities.' An example of this can be
seen in Nicaragua. Up to the 1970s, the
country had no sign language because
m
deaf Nicaraguans were largely cut off
from one another. When the first school for
deaf children was established in 1979, the
pupils quickly started making up gestures
to communicate. This became a sign
language used to this day by the people
who started at the school aged ten or older,
although it never developed a consistent
grammar. However, younger pupils, who
started school aged four, developed
another, much richer sign language with
a complex grammatical system. This is
important in helping us to understand not
only sign languages but human language
in general. lt suggests that we naturally
acquire complex language skills as young
children but later lose this ability.
IJ Also like spoken languages, sign
languages are changing fast as users are
exposed to other languages through digital
media and borrow from them. Sorne have
complained that borrowings, or loan signs,
are contaminating their language. Others
take the view that justas inevitably as
languages will emerge, they are bound
to evolve.

Rethinking pink
mWhat little girl doesn't adore the colour
pink? That certainly seems to be what toy
and clothing manufacturers are thinking.
Walk into any toy shop or department
store and the girls' section will not be
difficult to spot: it's the one with shelves
upon shelves of pink dolls, teddies and
princess dresses.
The association between girls and
pink is, in fact, relatively recent. In the
nineteenth century, it was seen as a
strong colour, perhaps because it was
clase to red, and therefore for boys. Girls,
meanwhile, were dressed in blue, which
was considered delicate and feminine. At
sorne point in the early twentieth century,
pink acquired its modern associations
with femininity. By the 70s and 80s, there
was plenty of pink around, but not to the
extent that we see it today. '1 remember
toys being more gender-neutral during
my childhood,' says Anna, a 35-year-old
mother of two. 'By the time 1 had my own
kids, things had changed completely.'
Many people oppose the so-called
'pinkification' of girls. lt has been the
0
11
subject of online movements and criticism
by academics, journalists, parents and
girls themselves. 'The problem is what the
colour represents,' explains campaigner
Lucinda Rogers. 'lt promotes an outdated
1950s-style idea of femininity.' The toy
manufacturer Lego has recently faced this
accusation. 'In the 1980s and 1990s, girls
and boys played together quite happily
with multicoloured Lego, making castles,
aeroplanes or whatever their imaginations
conjured up,' explains Rogers. 'Now we
have pink Lego for girls, with limited and
stereotypically "girly" scenarios such as
baking cupcakes or running a beauty
salan.' Similarly, the word game Scrabble
now exists in a pink version, with ti les
spelling the word 'fashion' on the box. 'lt
conveys a clear message,' says Rogers.
'lntellectual activities are unfeminine
unless you can relate them to shopping in
sorne way.'
llJ While increasing numbers of people
are joining in the backlash against pink,
others have questioned whether this
reaction is justified. In 2007, the scientific
journal Current Bíology published an
article suggesting that children's colour
preferences may have a biological basis.
A laboratory experiment with participants
in their 20s found that fe males preferred
reddish-purple colours, whereas males
tended to like blues and greens. This
was true of both British and Chinese
participants, indicating that these
preferences were not cultural.
IJ lf little girls are biologically
programmed to like pink, should we
blame manufacturers for meeting their
demands? Parenting expert Dr Pamela
Whitbread believes companies have
received more than their fair share of
criticism. 'lf manufacturers only make
pink toys, they are limiting girls' freedom
of choice. But if parents refuse to let their
daughters have anything pink, aren't they
doing the same?' Whitbread thinks people
are over-anxious about pink. 'Girls will
decide for themselves who and what they
want to be. My niece grew up in a pink
bedroom and she's now in the army. She
hasn't been held back!'

The four-day working week
Who hasn't longed for a shorter working
week? However much we may enjoy our
studies or our jobs, Sunday night usually
seems to arrive sooner that we'd like. (1)
But is the three-day weekend really an
unrealistic fantasy? Not according to sorne
economists and business leaders, who
claim that a four-day working week could
offer a solution to many of the problems
facing the modern world.
In 1930, the economist John Maynard
Keynes predicted that by the twentyfirst century, no one would need to work
more than fifteen hours a week. (2) This
is not, of course, what has happened.
As productivity has increased, so have
consumers' demands. The gap between
the rich and the poor has widened,
the pace of lite has quickened and the
pressure to produce and consume has
become more intense.
We live in a world where people seem
to be either overworked or unemployed.
While sorne are working fourteen-hour
days, others are unable to get their
careers started and find their place in the
working world. (3) Perhaps the solution
is simpler than we suspect: more people
working fewer but longer days. Wouldn't
everybody benefit?
A four-day week might help the planet,
too. Think of all the people in full-time
employment or study who travel to and
from their offices, schools and universities
every day, many of them alone in their
cars. A four-day week could cut the
number of journeys by a fifth. Imagine
the impact on air pollution. (4) lf people
had time to shop at their local market and
cook proper food, perhaps they wouldn't
need to live on microwave meals and
takeaways.

As 25,000 people stayed at home on

three million fewer miles were travelled.
(5) When the programme ended in 2011 ,
it was not because it had failed but simply
because Utah had a change of state

all the world's ills, why aren't we doing
it? lt may just be a matter of time.
Similar programmes have already been
introduced in the Netherlands, where

produce more things more quickly, we would maintain
our standard of living by working fewer hours.

My first trip to London was shortly
befare my eighth birthday. My
grandmother had mentioned that
she was going to do sorne Christmas
shopping in Regent Street and, as a
treat, 1was allowed to go with her.
We took an early train from Taunton
and arrived with all the commuters in
the middle of the morning rush hour.
As we descended from the train at
Paddington, we were immediately
swept into a crowd of businessmen
and office workers hurrying along
the platform in suits, coats and smart
patterned scarves. My grandmother
seemed at home straight away. She
had adopted the same confident pace
and determined expression as the
commuters, as though she did this
every day. 1trotted along next to her,
anxious not to get lost in the sea of
umbrellas, briefcases and rolled up
newspapers. lt was a cold, bright day
in early December and winter sunlight
shone down through the station's
glass roof onto the platform. On the
ground, two pigeons pecked ata
sandwich in a brown paper bag. The
commuters marched past them, taking
no notice, focused only on getting to
their destinations. Their expressions

indicated that they knew exactly where
they were going and what the day
would bring. That morning, as 1began
the biggest adventure of my lite so far,
1couldn't have felt less like they did.
1never dreamed that years later, this
would become my daily route to work
and seem as normal as my lite in rural
Somerset was to me then.
My grandmother and 1followed the
crowd through the ticket barriers,
across the central station hall and
down so me steps to the Underground.
My grandmother took me to one side
and lifted me up to loo k at the brightly
coloured Underground map on the
wall. As llooked at its many colourful
intersecting lines and oddly named
Tube stations, 1realized how enormous
London was. 1experienced the same
feeling that 1get when llook at the
Underground map now, the feeling
that the number of places to explore
was virtually infinite. Having lived
and worked in the city for nearly 20
years, 1have travelled on all of the
Underground's lines countless times.
The names of all of its stations are
familiar to me and 1know the map like
the back of my hand. And yet in spite
of this, there must be over a hundred
When they arrive in London, the boy's grandmother ...

stations where 1have never got off the
train and probably never will.
Looking back now, 1realize that my
first trip on the Underground was the
highlight of the day. lt was our visit to
Hamley's that 1had been dreaming
about for weeks. My parents had told
me it was the toy shop of every child's
fantasies and it fully lived up to my
expectations. But it is the Tube that
stands out in my memory, more than
Hamley's, or the extravagant Christmas
lights in Regent's Street or the burger
and milkshake 1had for lunch, thrilling
and magical as these things were. 1
recalllooking into the black tunnel,
waiting for a sound or a flash to indicate
that a train was approaching. 1can still
hear those first faint clattering sounds,
the train still far away in the distance,
which grew gradually louder untillights
appeared in the tunnel and the train
suddenly roared into the station. Most
of all, 1remember that strange mixture
of fear, suspense and excitement,
which 1never again experienced in the
same way but which 1have reflected
on frequently in my 20 years as a Tube
passenger and will forever associate
with London.
'in spite of this' in lines 61-62 refers to the fact that the
narrator ...
A has only been toa few places in London.
B knows the Tube map very well.
e has never been to some areas of London.
D had never seen the Tube map befare.
5 What had the boy looked forward to most befare the
trip?
A Seeing the Christmas lights.
B Having fast food for lunch.
e Going on the Underground.
D Going to a toy shop.
6 What do we learn about the narrator now?
A The Tube has always given him the same feeling.
B He misses living in London.
e He often thinks about his first trip on the Tube.
D He finds London frightening.

Reading
You are going to read a newspaper report about nutritional information
in the UK. For questions 1-10, choose from the paragraphs (A-D). The
paragraphs may be used more than once.
Will calorie information encourage healthier eating?
mlf you knew that the chocolate
cake you were ordering contained
over 600 calories, would you
still want it? Or might you think
twice and choose something
less fattening instead? That's the
question that is currently being
debated by health experts in
the UK. As part of a government
initiative aimed at combating
obesity and improving the nation's
health, several restaurant and café
chains have agreed to print on
their menus the number of calories
in their products.
llJ To help predict whether
the initiative will be effective,
researchers are looking to New
York, where calorie information
has been displayed on restaurant
menus since 2008. Over 15,000
New York residents were surveyed
and 15% reported that they
purchased fewer calories as a
result. The average reduction in
calorie consumption since the
measure was introduced was
estimated at 106. While it appears
to have led some people to
reconsider their food choices, its
effect has been far from universal,
with 85% of the New Yorkers
surveyed claiming that they paid
no attention to calorie information.
However, the scheme may benefit
consumers' health in another
way. lt has been suggested that
obliging restaurants to make
calorie information public might
encourage them to reduce the fat
and sugar content of their food.
With nutritional information out
in the open, restaurants have to
ensure not only that their food
tastes good but also that they do
not alienate health- or weightconscious customers.
11 A similar issue currently under
discussion in the UK is the nutrition
information provided on the front
of packaged foods. So-called
'traffic light' labels are increasingly
appearing on food products sold
by UK retailers, but the scheme
is voluntary and is the labelling
system is currently only used for
around 60% of products. lt uses
colour codes to show whether
foods contain low, medium or high
numbers of calories and levels of
fat, salt and sugar. Green indicates
healthy levels, orange means that
the food should be consumed in
moderation, and red signals that it
should remain an occasional treat.
As with calorie information on
Which paragraph ...
1 says how the initiative might benefit customers' health
indirectly?
2 discusses a similar initiative in another country?
3 explains why calorie information is being printed on
restaurant menus?
4 indicates whether the writer is for or against the
~.measures?
5 explains how nutritional information is communicated
to supermarket shoppers?
restaurant menus, more research
is needed befare it is clear whether
traffic light labelling encourages
consumers to make healthier
choices.
llJ Opponents of initiatives like
calorie information and traffic
light labelling are sceptical that
they will change people's habits.
Some claim that they could even
mislead consumers, with negative
consequences for health. They
point out that it is the overall
balance of a person's diet that
affects their weight and general
health. Furthermore, some
products, such as diet soft drinks,
can be low in calories, fat, salt and
sugar while offering few health
benefits. There are, however,
reasons to be optimistic about the
measures, even if it takes time for
them to have a noticeable effect.
Even if only a minority of people
adopted healthier eating habits,
it would surely still be a positive
development, given that the UK
faces an obesity crisis which is
threatening the nation's wellbeing
and costing taxpayers more every
year.
6 presents reasons why the measures may not improve
health?
7 mentions the financia! consequences of the population
getting fatter?
8 presents the reader with a hypothetical dilemma?
9 suggests that restaurants may have to change their
priorities?
10 acknowledges that low-fat products are not always
good for you?
