INTRODUCTION Our World is a teenage lifestyle DVD giving an insight into the lives of teenagers
both in the US and in the UK. The DVD consists of twelve units, graded in terms of language to broadly cover Starter, Elementary and Pre-Intermediate levels. These levels are roughly allocated four units each: Units 1–4 cover Starter, 5–8 cover Elementary and 9–12 cover Pre-Intermediate. The topics of the DVD have been specifically chosen to cover topics that are of interest to teenagers, such as fashion and music. It is ideal for use alongside In Sync as revision or to further extend language. It may also be used alongside other courses of a similar nature.
The complete scripts for the units can be found on page 59 of these worksheets.
Why use Our World in the classroom?As well as giving the chance for students to do something different from the standard book-based activities in the classroom, Our World also provides them with the opportunity to:• hearteenagersusingrealEnglish.• hearavarietyofdifferentBritishandAmericanaccentsandpronunciation.• hearlanguagetheyhavestudiedinclassinreallife.• developlisteningskillssuchaslisteningforgist,listeningforinferenceandintensive
listening, while also being able to use natural signals such as body language.• becomebetteracquaintedwithEnglishinconversationalsituations.
How are the DVD worksheets arranged?There are four pages of worksheets for each of the twelve units. Each group of worksheets provides enough work for at least one forty-minute lesson but may allow for more or for the setting of homework. The worksheet activities are divided into three groups: Before watching, While watching and After watching.The first section, Before watching, can be done in class or for homework before the lesson. The final After watching sections can be done in the same class, the following class or for homework.
Before watchingThese activities are designed for use before students watch the unit. They are designed to check students’ background knowledge on the subjects and either access the vocabulary that students already know on the topic or introduce vocabulary they will need to understand the DVD. Once they have finished these activities they should be ready to watch.
While watchingIn this section students will either see the whole DVD or parts of it, several times and will answer questions or complete charts or tables. The first viewing may be for general comprehension of a topic, with the second and third viewings for more detailed comprehension.
3
After watchingAfter they have completed watching the DVD and doing all the relevant tasks, students will be asked to complete a further activity or two using the information they saw in the DVD and their own cultural experiences and knowledge.
DVD techniques in class
PredictionEncourage students to predict what they are going to see. This can be done from the beginning by just giving them the title of the unit. It can also be done when they see the Before watching activity or after the Before watching activity. You can also encourage more detailed predication by asking students to pre-read their While watching tasks. Whenever necessary, you can guide your students in predicting by offering prompts e.g. Then what happens? Prediction activities involve students from the very beginning of the unit and engage their attention. As students now have more of a reason to watch they are more likely to actively participate.
Silent listeningAnother way to take advantage of prediction skills is to watch part of the DVD with the sound off. Students can see the context and what is happening but do not know exactly what the people are saying. Encouraging them to guess what the people are saying promotes the use of visual clues to aid understanding. This activity can also be good language practise of what they have learnt so far.
Listening without subtitlesMost of the DVD should be watched with sound but without subtitles. This develops students’ listening skills. All of the activities in the worksheets are designed for use without subtitles.
Listening with subtitlesThe subtitles can be turned on during the last viewing of a unit. If they are turned on before, students will focus more on reading than on listening. Once the relevant listening activities have been completed, however, listening with subtitles can work as a check or a chance to review or take note of useful language that has been used in the unit.
Blind listening Students can listen with their eyes closed or the screen covered. This would allow you to test language recall, i.e. can the students remember specific key phrases from the listening. One drawback of this technique is that students already do this with listening from a CD.
Freeze frame (using pause control)You can stop the video at key moments either to practise prediction or to get total recall on what was shown before. This can be used particularly when checking answers students have given, especially where they are having problems. It can also be used for highlighting key pieces of language.
4
Listening for gistSome of the Before watching activities encourage listening for gist by showing the whole video or a significant part of it. These allow students to get the general idea of a section or a unit, which will help them to later understand in detail what is going on in the unit.
Intensive listeningSome of the worksheets encourage intensive listening, where students focus on key pieces of information on the DVD. Intensive listening can also be used as a final listening after the exercises are complete for students to focus on key language.
Follow-up activitiesThe worksheets provide follow-up activities for students to either do in class or at home. However further activities can be done, for example summarising what students have learnt in the units, having debates on the topics in class or encouraging students to do their own projects on the topic. These activities encourage students to use the language they have seen and heard during the DVD for their own communication.
Tips for using Our World in class
Use a variety of techniquesMost of the worksheets will allow you to use a variety of skills in the classroom. However you can encourage more listening for gist by playing the whole unit at the start and getting students to tell you what it was all about. This helps students to see they can understand the whole unit without having it broken down or having to rely on the organisation of the exercises.
Encourage active participationEncourage students to think about the implications of what they have seen and also predict what they expect to see next.
Encourage the use of visual communicationDraw students’ attention to the use of body language, posture etc. Help students to become aware that they can use these clues to understand people’s emotions and how they feel about something.
Encourage the use of audio informationAsk students to focus on the way people say things, for example, their tone of voice (how they express anger, confusion, understanding etc.). Also focus on their pronunciation and their use of stress. Point out to students that meaning is often conveyed by the way people say things rather than the words they choose to use.
Encourage personalisationMost of the After watching activities employ the use of personalisation. However, the units provide a lot of scope for further personalisation. Involve students by asking what they know about certain topics, how they would react in certain situations, how they would feel etc.. It’s important for students to be able to relate to the topics and issues on the DVD. The units also provide scope for role-playing or designing their own TV programmes on the same topic, about their own country e.g. the latest teenage fashion in Poland.
5
Make the lesson enjoyableThe use of the DVD and its worksheets in class is supposed to provide an entertaining yet educational option to the more common use of the coursebook. So remember to keep these lessons enjoyable as well as rewarding. Encourage students to identify with the teenagers on the DVD and compare their own feelings to those shown in the DVD. Encourage them to agree or disagree with them, just as they would with people of their own age in their own everyday environments. This helps to bring the English language to life for the students, which is especially important if the students are studying in their own country where they may rarely come across realistic English usage. Through the medium of the DVD and its worksheets, Our World shows learning English to be a relevant and useful experience which can be used to communicate and make friendships with teenagers all over the world.

Hi Hiroki!
Yes, London is great. Here are the answers to your questions. They were very difficult. The Tower of London is over 900 years old. The Crown Jewels are in the Tower of London. There are thirty bridges across the River Thames. Canary Wharf is nearly 250 metres high. The Thames trips start at 9 o’clock. The boat trip is fifty minutes and it costs £10. You can see for forty kilometres from the top of the London Eye.Hope that’s okay. Have to hurry now. I’m going to the British Museum in ten minutes!

Hometown boyWhen Rafael Nadal was a little boy tennis was not very popular in Spain. Now everybody wants to play tennis because of Rafael Nadal. Rafael or ‘Rafa’ (the name his family and friends call him) was born on the island of Mallorca on 3rd June 1986. He’s not a tall tennis player but he is very powerful. He’s now one of the best tennis players in the world but he still lives in the same house with his family. He plays tennis because of his uncle Tony, who is also his coach. His mother, Ana Maria, and father, Sebastian, like to attend every game he plays. He loves his house in Mallorca, ‘Why do I need to live elsewhere?” he asks. Rafael is almost unbeatable on a tennis court but when he is not playing tennis he is quite timid. He doesn’t like being famous. In Mallorca he is just a normal Spanish boy but when he travels, his fans follow him everywhere. He may be one of the best tennis players in the world but after every competition, he just wants to come home. Girls follow him everywhere – they think he is very handsome! Does he have a girlfriend? Yes he does … and Maria Perello is from his hometown, too!

All students in Britain eat lunch at school every school day. Many students bring packed lunches of sandwiches, cakes and fruit from home. Only about forty per cent of students eat food that is cooked in the school kitchens. They choose this food from the cafeteria. The cafeteria is like a buffet with many kinds of food on it. Students choose the food they want to eat. Many students and parents don’t like the food in cafeterias and give packed lunches instead. Because of this, a famous chef, Jamie Oliver, helped schools give better meals. Schools must offer many different kinds of food because many students have special diets. Some students are vegetarians or even vegans (they don’t eat any animal products, including eggs and milk). Some students have allergies, e.g. to nuts or eggs. Other students are members of religious groups, e.g. they are Muslims or Jews, and they have to have special diets. For students with these special diets, many families prefer to give packed lunches.

Eton – the most famous school in Britain
The most famous school in Britain is Eton College, but it is not an ordinary school. Parents must pay nearly £20,000 each year. Old students of Eton College include twenty-one kings and princes. There are also many scientists, writers, sportsmen, artists and politicians.Eton College started in 1440, more than 500 years ago. It is a school for about 1, 300 boys from thirteen to eighteen years old. Eton is a boarding school so the boys live, eat, work and sleep at the school. About fifty boys live in each ‘house’ but their lessons are in the main school.The boys wake up at 7.30 every morning and then they have breakfast. They go to the chapel (a small church) at 8.40 and lessons begin at 9.00. There are five lessons in the morning. The boys have lunch at 13.30. In the afternoon, there are sports and other activities. In the evening the boys do their homework and have supper. At 21.30, it’s ‘lights out’
and all the boys must go to sleep. Every day is the same. The boys have lessons every day except Sunday. Eton is a very good school because it has expert teachers, small classes and good facilities for lessons and sports.

Country life for the city boy?by Mary WisemanDavid is a city boy. He lives in London. His family work in London and go on holiday every year to New York. He doesn’t know the country at all. This summer he went on holiday to his cousin Paul’s house. Paul lives in the country. He has never been to the city but he has seen it on TV. I asked David what he thought of Paul’s life in the country.David: Paul is very lucky to live on the farm. I would like to stay there forever. Every day is different and there is so much to do. I love the fresh air and being outside all the time. In the city you cannot play football outside. People always complain and the parks are dirty. In the country you play outside all day! It’s great, I didn’t open my computer once! You can ride your bicycle anywhere – there’s no traffic
and nobody will steal it. In the city somebody stole my bicycle twice in one year! Of course, sometimes the weather is bad and you have to stay indoors but the weather is bad in the city, too. It gives you a chance to read more. The city is also very expensive. Here in the country nearly everything is free!What does Paul think?Paul: I think David is crazy! He lives in the city do he can go to the cinema everyday. I watch the animals for entertainment! Living the country is really boring, especially in winter. You can’t ride your bike in the cold and rain. There
are exciting shops and clubs in the city. We only have three shops in the village. I hope David invites me to his house, I might not come back!

WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE?WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE?One of the most popular quiz programmes on television in the world is called Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? In Britain, the quiz master is Chris Tarrant. He asks the contestants fifteen questions. The first questions are easy but later they are more difficult. If you can answer the fourteenth question, you can win £500,000. You can win a million pounds if you can answer the last question. Of course, the last question is very difficult.All the questions on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? are multiple-choice questions. After you hear the question, you see four answers. Only one answer is correct. You have to choose the correct answer. If you don’t know the answer to a question, there are three ways you can get help: you can ask the quizmaster to take away two wrong answers: you can ask the studio audience which answer is right; or you can telephone a friend and ask for help. You can only do these things once. Very few people win the million pounds. The first person won a millon pounds one year after the programme started.Today, Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? can be seen in more than 100 countries and is now the world’s most popular quiz programme.

The best part-time jobs for teenagersWhen I was a kid the best part-time job was delivering newspapers to people’s houses. Today people read papers on the internet. So, what can teenagers do? Here are some ideas:1 Babysittingisthemostpopularjobforteenagers.
Sometimes there is nothing for you to do. The children are already asleep and you can spend the night watching TV and playing computer gamesandyougetpaid!However,parentsnowwant people who have some training. There are special courses you can do to become a qualified part-time babysitter.
2 Many teenagers like working in coffee shops. Coffee shops are very popular now. The work is not too hard and you get to meet lots of people in your job. Good for people who also like music andlaptops…andofcourse,coffee!
3 If you know about clothes, make-up, electronics or computers maybe the best part-time job is to work in a shop. Of course, you should choose a job that is the same as your interests. You may be lucky and work in a shop you like and then you will get discounts on the things you buy.
4 Today lots of people have pets and the most common pet is a dog. However, they don’t have time to walk their dogs or look after them. So, if you like dogs then dog grooming and walking are a good choice. You will also gets lots of exercise and have lots of new friends … four-leggedfriends,thatis!

Why is Eurovision so popular (and why are we so bad)?by Melanie ButtressThe Eurovision Song Contest is a competition, held every year, to find the best song in Europe. It is one of the most popular TV programmes in the world. The competition started in 1957 and still takes place every May. Fifty-one countries have participated in that time and there are so many countries in the contest now that they have semi-finals as well as the final.However,hereintheBritain,weareconfused.We don’t understand why so many countries are interested. The bands and singers in the competition are usually not famous. Where are theArcticMonkeys,LilyAllen,BjorkorEnriqueIglesias? Every year we laugh at the contest and everyyearwegetlowmarks.Butincountrieslike Greece, Turkey, Russia and Scandinavia the competitionisveryimportant.Britainhaswononlytwice since 1977 and the last time was in 1997. GermanyusedtobelikeBritain,butthen,in2009Germanysaid‘Enough!’Theyheldaspecialcompetition and the winner, Lena, became a pop star in Germany. When she won the Eurovision Song Contest in 2010 nobody was surprised in Germany. Just to make sure, Germany entered Lena into the competition again in 2011. Now theBritishweretheonlypeoplelaughingatEurovision. So, for 2011 we entered the boy band Blueintothecompetition.Withthreenumberone singles and four number one albums they were sure to win. They finished eleventh. Lena also failed and Azerbaijan celebrated their first everwin.Nextyear,willtheBritishbelaughingorcrying?Idon’tknowbutweinBritainhavetoaccept that Eurovision is very popular and we need towinitagain!

doesn’t want to.Justin Well, I don’t want to buy something and then hate it when I get home.Cait Which is the reason we’re here to try some new ideas. Now, Justin, what’s your favourite

5 Food
Jason Dinner with the family is very important for many people. This is Jeanette’s house. Her family are American, but they live here in England. Jeanette and her mother are preparing the food for tonight’s meal. So what are you cooking tonight?
Jeanette Well, it’s my turn to cook dinner with Mom. We’re going to have baked salmon, vegetables, and boiled potatoes.
Jason I love vegetables, which ones are you using?Jeanette I’m going to steam some broccoli, carrots, and beans. I also want to roast some mushrooms
and red peppers.Jason Sounds great. What about dessert?Jeanette For dessert we’re going to have pancakes. They’re my favourite. They’re also American. My
mom’s gonna start on the salmon while I make the pancakes.Jason Jeanette says that pancakes are easy to make, and they’re delicious.Jeanette First, take four ounces of flour. Make a hole in the centre of the flour. Add two eggs, some
milk, a tiny bit of salt. Now, mix the ingredients. Put a little oil in a frying pan. I always have maple syrup with my pancakes.
Jason In the UK people eat less meat now than in the past. Jeanette is vegetarian and doesn’t eat meatanymore.Buttherestofherfamilydo.
Butwedon’teathealthyfoodallofthetime.Fastfoodistasty,cheap,andeasy.IntheUSAand the UK burger bars, pizza places and fried chicken restaurants are great for people who want food on the move.
Fish and chip shops are still very popular in the UK, and there are still many small cafés which serve a traditional English breakfast all day, that is bacon and eggs, sausages, baked beans, and fried bread.
The American version of the English café is the diner. Isn’t it, Jeanette?Jeanette It sure is. I miss those huge meals.Jason They serve similar types of food, but the main difference is the amount of food that you get.
In American diners the food portions are generally much bigger than in the UK. There are also many places serving fresh and healthy fast food. Here you get a really big sandwich full of good things. Great for lunch, what do you have for lunch Jeanette?
Jeanette I normally have a sandwich at about one o’clock.Jason Butyourmainmealisintheevening.Jeanette Yes, at around eight o’clock.Jason What do other people eat, and when do they eat it?Victoria My favourite breakfast is chocolate croissant.Rachael For breakfast I usually have a glass of orange juice and some toast.

Do you always cook a big meal in the evenings?Jeanette Well, sometimes we just have snacks in front of the TV. They’re easy, you can put them in
the oven or a microwave.Jason How long will the food be?Jeanette It’s ready, let’s sit down.Jason Mm, that looks delicious. Mm, the salmon’s perfect. I love the vegetables, especially the roast
peppers. Well done, everyone, I’d say it’s a complete success. Now, who’s doing the dishes?Jeanette You are.

9 Holidays
Mike Hi. Today, I’m at Middlesex County Camp in Connecticut, USA. There are thousands of summer camps in the USA, and each one is different. Every year young Americans come to camps like this to learn new skills, to improve old ones, to make new friends and have fun. There are hundreds of different activities and many different types of summer camps in the USA. At this camp in Connecticut, kids can make their own schedule from many different activities.
Let’s hear from some of the people who go to this camp.Sarah P I come to summer camp ‘cos I make the best friends here, and it’s completely different from
anything I would be doing at home. It’s a whole different world.Jamar It’s a way to meet people, and I’ve always liked meeting people. So, that’s why I come to
summer camp.Ben The best thing about summer camp is that you bond with people like your fellow peers and
counsellors that you meet. And you stay with them for a week or more, and by that time you’re really close almost like family.
Sarah A The best thing about American summer camps would be that you get to meet lots of people from around the United States, around the world and you get to leave home for a while and experience new things in a different place and you get to do a lot of fun activities.
Mike Formostpeopletheirbesttimeiswheneveryonesitsaroundthecampfireandrelaxes.But–youdoneedtoknowhowtolightacampfirefirst.Butapartfromcamps,wheredoAmericanfamilies go on vacation? Well, most Americans take their vacation in the USA. The most popular destination is California, with sun, surf, fantastic beaches, and beautiful people. The next favourite vacation spot in the USA is Florida. It’s got wonderful weather, theme parks, great shopping, and alligators. That’s right, the Everglades area of Florida is a famous alligator reserve. Of course, millions of Americans also go abroad each year. Some go to Mexico, others go to Canada. Niagara Falls is a very famous tourist attraction. Many also go to Europe.
Jason No, this isn’t California. It’s Cornwall in the south west of England. Cornwall is the surfing capitalofEnglandandaverypopularholidaydestination.ThousandsofBritishpeoplecomehere to Cornwall for their annual holiday. As you can see, the surf is good and the scenery is spectacular. Some of the countryside is still quite wild, and there are caves and secret bays all along the coastline. These pretty villages were once the centre of a major fishing industry in Cornwall.Butnowtourismisthebiggestindustryinthisarea.Duringthesummer,touristsfillthe many local bed and breakfast hotels.

music around it.Jason Thanks, I’ll let you get back to your rehearsal.Matt And you strive to be someone else. In a while you’re gonna lose yourself. And I swear I’ll make no sound. When your surroundings all come crashing down.Jason I’m going to leave Drip Feed to finish their rehearsal, and go to meet a very different kind

12 Inventions

My computer and my CD player.Yvette My favourite piece of technology is my mobile phone.Rory My favourite piece of technology is my e-Reader.Bolanle My favourite piece of technology is the TV.Josh The best thing that’s ever been invented is probably the wheel.Bolanle The best thing ever invented has to be the clock.Sarah The best thing ever invented was twenty-four hour music television.Lizzie Hi, machines are a really important part of our lives today. In tomorrow’s world they’ll be
even more important. What sort of things will machines be able to do in the future? I’m here today to meet someone who can help us to answer that question. His name’s Professor Kevin Warwick who works with robots in the Cybernetics Department at Reading University in England. Thanks for talking to us today, Professor. Can you tell us what sort of things you’re working on at the moment?
Professor Well, one of the things we’re working on at the moment is this small transmitter. When it’sWarwick put inside a person we can see where that person goes. Here you can see someone moving
around the university, there’s a small transmitter under the skin of their arm. It’s easy for us to follow them wherever they go.
Josh No, I wouldn’t put a transmitter under my skin.Sarah No, I would not put a transmitter in my arm.Helen I think it would be quite useful for parents to keep track of their kids.Yvette It might be used to track where criminals are.Bolanle I think a really good use for this technology would be for famous people, tracking them down
to see where they are.Lizzie I’ve heard you’ve got a robot hand here. Can you show that to us?Professor Some time ago I did an experiment. I put a chip in my arm. I then used this to connect myWarwick arm to the robot hand. And as I moved my hand the robot hand moved in the same way.Lizzie Wow so this could be used with a very large robot arm, for example.Professor That’s right. One person could move their arm and the robot could lift a huge weight.Warwick Lizzie Do you have to be next to the robot’s hand?Professor No, we tried the experiment over a very long distance. I went to the USA and we sent theWarwick signals back over the internet. So, as I moved my hand the robot hand moved back here,
in Reading.Sarah Could use it for experiments in space, or anywhere where it was difficult to get to.

Sebastian If you wanted to move very small things, because the human hand can make very small movements, the robot hand could do the same.
Yvette A robot hand could be used for dangerous work or lifting heavy machinery.Josh You could use the robot hand to go places you couldn’t go like an earthquake or a disaster.Lizzie When you invent something, do you always know how it’ll be used in the future?Professor No, not always. Sometimes people invent something and they don’t really know what to doWarwick with it at first. It took quite a long time before people realised the importance of the
telephone,forexample.Buttodaywecan’timaginelivingwithoutone.Josh I’d like to see something invented that could transport people from one place to another
instantaneously.Karen I’d like something that tidied my room.Sebastian Something that did my homework.Hannah I’d like a fridge that automatically ordered food from the supermarket.Sarah I would like to see the invention of flying cars.Bolanle I would like to see a time machine that could take me into the future.Lizzie What great inventions would you like to see? If you could invent something yourself, what
would it be?
