• If you were on a desert island, or on a sinking ship, how would you call for help?• How well do you think you would react in an

emergency situation?

B. What do you think SOS stands for? Read and check your answers. your answers.

Sending out an SOS Before the development of radio communication, when a ship was in danger there were a number of ways to signal for help. Lighting signal flares to show the location of the ship or flying a signal flag were very common. Using bells and foghorns or perhaps firing a gun repeatedly were also ways of making other ships hear you. These are still used today in many cases.

However, with the development of wireless telegraphy, sailors started using Morse code to send messages. Morse code is a typeof code with long and short sounds or flashes of light that stand for letters of the alphabet. The most well-known Morse code message asking for help is SOS. The letters SOS in international Morse code are:

The German government was the first to use the SOS signal at the beginning of the 20th century (in 1905). It became an international distress signal in 1908.

Some people believe that SOS stands for ‘Save Our Ship’ or ‘Save Our Souls’, but that’s not true. In fact, the letters don’t stand for anything; they were just the simplest letters in international Morse code. However, people probably used these phrases to help them remember the letters.

People have used SOS as a visual distress signal by signalling with three short, three long and three short light flashes or by writing it in the sand or snow. The fact that you can read SOS right side up and upside down is very useful and has made SOS more popular than the word HELP.

When the Titanic hit an iceberg in 1912 and started sinking, two of the crew members used radio communication to ask for help. They also tried sending an SOS message to a nearby ship, the Californian, by using a Morse lamp. Unfortunately, the crew of the Californian didn’t realise what was happening until it was too late.

Dear Ali, Many people are afraid of public speaking. You’re not the only one so don’t worry. Here are some tips to help you deal with your problem. First of all, you should practise giving your presentation in front of a mirror until you feel confident. This way you’ll have less stress. There are also certain things you can do right before and during your presentation. Before starting, you should do some kind of physical activity to help reduce your anxiety. Taking a walk is a good idea. Also, while you’re giving your presentation, choose a few friendly faces from the audience and focus on them. And don’t forget to take deep breaths to feel calm. If all this doesn’t work, I advise you to take a training course in public speaking. It will help you get over your fear.

Dr Salman,I need your advice because I feel helpless and don’t know what to do. Last week I had to give a presentation at university with a fellow student. As we walked to the front of the lecture theatre, I could feel my heart beating fast and I was sweating. When it was time for me to talk, I just stood there looking at everyone. I couldn’t remember what to say! Fortunately, my fellow student gave the presentation for me. But who will save me next time? What should I do? Anxiously waiting for your reply.

Taking a walk is a good idea. Also, while you’re giving your presentation, choose a few friendly faces from the audience and focus on them. And don’t forget to take deep breaths to feel calm. If all this doesn’t work, I advise you to take a training course in public speaking. It will help you get over your fear.

B. Read the headline of the newspaper article below. What do you think it is about? Read the article and check your answers.

An InterCity train was derailed in South Wales yesterday. The train was travelling through a tunnel at 160 kilometres per hour when it hit a flock of sheep that was going in the opposite direction. The train came off the tracks, fell onto its side and skidded for another 200 metres before coming to a stop. Fortunately, nobody was killed, but 28 people were injured, 5 of them seriously.

The police, fire crews and the ambulance service were all called immediately and they arrived within minutes to rescue the people. The injured passengers were taken to local hospitals. ‘It’s a miracle that it was not a greater tragedy,’ said Steven Jones, one of the firefighters. ‘When we arrived, smoke was coming out of the tunnel and we thought that the train was on fire. A fire in a tunnel is of course a very serious matter, but luckily it was only the engine and we put it out very quickly.’

Amazingly, the train driver was not hurt in the accident. He said later: ‘As soon as I noticed the animals, I pulled the emergency brake, but it was too late.’ The tunnel was damaged and the train was almost completely destroyed. Overall, 2 million pounds of damage was caused.

Train Derailed by Sheep!

All the sheep except one died in the crash. The lucky survivor was rescued by a police officer and is now called Lucky Lucy. The local farmer who owned the sheep has no idea how the accident happened. ‘I have lots of sheep and they are kept in a nearby field which is surrounded by a fence. I don’t know how these sheep got out.’ How this accident happened is a mystery.

experience that you have had and write about it. Your account should be between 100-120 words. Go to the Workbook, p. 96.

When writing an account of a true event: use the first person (I, We). divide your account into paragraphs. try to make your writing flow by: • writing the events in chronological order. Use past

tenses (past simple and past progressive). • using linking words/phrases expressing time (when, while, as, as soon as, before, after, during, until, in the end, etc.), contrast (but, however), cause (because) or result (so, as a result). try to make it interesting to the reader by using: • a variety of adjectives (surprised, furious, etc.). • adverbs/adverbial phrases (suddenly, fortunately, to my surprise, etc.). • idioms (I nearly jumped out of my skin! etc.). • direct speech, questions and exclamations. • a variety of structures (comparisons, relative clauses,

passive voice, etc.).

WRITING TASKWRITING TASK

Probably the most embarrassing thing I’ve ever done was two years ago. I was travelling by train, going from Paris to London with some friends from university.There were many people on the train, so I had to wait for almost half an

hour to get some coffee. As soon as I sat down with my coffee, I realised I needed to get something from my luggage. So, I said to my friends ‘Nobody touch my coffee’ and left. However, on my way back to my seat, I saw one of my friends sipping my coffee. I was furious! ‘Hey, that’s mine!’ I shouted and grabbed the cup, which wasn’t a good idea because I spilt the coffee all over him and even on a few other passengers. But the worst thing was that the person with the coffee wasn’t my friend. It just looked like him from behind.My friends, who were further up the train, were laughing their heads off. I immediately apologised to

the people, but they were still pretty angry with me. I wanted the ground to swallow me up. I’ll never forget that day.

7. 911wasthefirstemergencytelephonenumberpeopleused.

Also, everybody should know the emergency telephone numbers in their country.

In Saudi ArabiaThere is not just one emergency number. 999

is the number people dial for the police. In the case of fire, they dial 998 and for an ambulance the number is 997. These numbers are the most important ones, although there are many more for other services.

Also, people who visit Saudi Arabia should keep in mind that they need to carry the emergency number of their country’s embassy in case a problem regarding their visa or passport arises.

In the USAWhen there is an emergency, people call 911. It’s

the emergency telephone number for the USA and the rest of North America. The call is free from any phone and you can even call this number from a

locked mobile phone. The people who answer the calls are called ‘dispatchers’ and they are trained to control the situation and help the callers stay calm.

To make sure there aren’t too many calls to 911, in North America people can also call 311.

In the UKFor emergency calls, people dial 999. In fact,

it was the first emergency number system ever used and it started in London on 30th June 1937. A 999 call is free, too. The telephone operator answers your call and connects you to the correct emergency service: fire, police or ambulance.

You can also call 112, a free emergency telephone number for all phones including mobiles. This number is used in all European Union countries and not only in the UK.

A three-digit number is not hard to remember. What is really important, though, is to remember that these numbers are for emergency calls ONLY. Any other call wastes the dispatchers’ or telephone operators’ time and this can easily put people’s lives in danger.

WRITING TASKD. Write a paragraph about your favourite place of

entertainment. Your paragraph should be between 80-100 words.

When writing a paragraph expressing preference: explain your ideas by giving examples. use phrases like: I think…, I prefer…, I like/love…,

I really enjoy..., I’m fond of..., I’m a big fan of..., I’m interested in..., I find ... fantastic, etc.

use a variety of adjectives (interesting, exciting, etc.) to describe how you feel.

try not to repeat the same words all the time. Instead, use subject personal pronouns (he, she, it…), object personal pronouns (him, her, it…), possessive adjectives (his, her, its…) and adverbs (here, there).

I enjoy going out, but there’s one place I prefer going to more often and that’s the bowling alley. I find that it’s an interesting place as it gives me the chance to spend more time with my friends, have fun and also exercise a bit. We all meet up there to go bowling three times a week and we all have great fun. The bowling alley offers a nice, relaxing atmosphere. Every year there is a tournament and everyone gets excited about it. My friends and I practise together all year round to be the best team at the competition. Last year we won first prize and that was a big success. All the other teams admitted we were the best! Some of them even came to ask us for a few tips. It’s great fun being part of a team and especially there, at the bowling alley. I wouldn’t give it up for anything in the world!

Although it was published in 1994, Green Sands: My Five Years in the Saudi Desert is still a popular book. In this novel, the writer, Martha Kirk, gives a descriptive account of her experience in Saudi Arabia that will definitely amaze the reader.

The book is set in the 1980s, on a farm somewhere in the desert, some 90 kilometres from Riyadh. The heroine, Martha Kirk herself, talks about the five years she spent in Saudi Arabia, after moving there with her husband. The two Americans are given the amazing opportunity to meet not just new people, but also a different culture and lifestyle.

Green Sands: My Five Years in the Saudi Desert is awell-written book. The plot is exciting and the characters are very realistic. It is a fascinating book that won’t let you down! I definitely recommend it!

Imam Muhammad Ibn Saud Islamic University is one of the oldest Saudi universities. It was founded* in 1950 CE when the founder of Saudi Arabia, His Majesty King Abdul Aziz Abdul Rahman Al Saud, may Allah forgive him, told the Mufti of Saudi Arabia at the time of His Majesty, Sheikh Mohammed Ibn Ibrahim Al Sheikh, may Allah forgive him, to open the first department of the University, ‘Riyadh Scientific Exhibition’. Next, there was the opening of the ‘Faculty of Sharia Sciences’ in 1953 CE, which is now known as ‘Faculty of Sharia’. The opening of various other scientific institutes, colleges and higher institutes under the name of Imam Muhammad Ibn Saud Islamic University followed. The University was established as a scientific institution providing studying programmes at lower education level, university level and even higher levels, as it includes many Diploma, Master’s and PhD programmes in various fields. The University expanded during the years and now it includes several higher institutes, such as the ‘Supreme Jurisdiction Institute’ and ‘Supreme Institute for Dawah and Ihtisab’. It also includes twelve colleges offering various programmes, such as ‘Language and Translation Colleges’, ‘College of Economics and Administrative Sciences’, ‘Computer and Information College’, ‘Science College’, ‘Medicine College’, ‘Engineering College’ and ‘Media & Communication College’.

The University also created an independent specialised institute, the ‘Arabic Language Teaching Institute’. This Institute helps students who do not speak Arabic to learn the language so that they can join the University Colleges. It also offers postgraduate programmes and special courses for the employees of companies.The University includes several supporting Deanships, Research and Service Centres and Scientific Research Chairs as well as a city for teaching female students in the name of King Abdullah Ibn Abdulaziz Al Saud, may Allah forgive him. The University also has one more branch in the Al Hasa district. Under its umbrella, Imam Muhammad Ibn Saud Islamic University has seventy more academic institutes throughout the Kingdom. Today, the University has more than one hundred thousand students, who are studying to get the qualifications to serve their religion, homeland and the entire world. Furthermore, the University has several branches abroad in Indonesia, Djibouti and Japan, with a future plan to expand to more countries. Nowadays, Imam Muhammad Ibn Saud Islamic University can easily compete with other universities in many fields, such as social sciences, linguistics, administrative sciences and applied and medical sciences. For this reason, it has a very special position among local and international universities.

Let’s get down to business

Because big salaries and large bonuses aren’t always enough to keep employees happy, some companies are now offering their staff exciting and unusual perks. A software company in Los Angeles, USA, for example, has built a number of on-site facilities for its employees. Staff can visit the hair salon, leave their cars at the car wash and their clothes at the dry-cleaner’s – for free! There’s also an on-site restaurant that serves free gourmet meals 24 hours a day! What a treat!

When employees of a San Francisco-based software company need a break, they head for the games room. Here, they can play video games, pool or table tennis. Alternatively, staff members can take part in outdoor activities, like basketball or tennis. The employees of this company say that their work environment is so pleasant that they often don’t want to go home!

Many companies also organise annual holidays and outings for their staff. Last year, a US supermarket chain took all its employees white-water rafting. And, in the UK, a mobile phone company organised a special end-of-year art festival for its 17,000 employees. Some of the most famous artists in the UK took part and staff members had the opportunity to meet them – how thrilling!

Some companies offer their staff members slightly more unusual perks. For example, a US insurance firm gives every month’s best employee a day off, as well as a gift of $100. The company also offers on-site golf lessons and tennis classes, and there is even a library for staff members who want to read a book and enjoy some quiet time. Many employees consider this company to be such a wonderful place to work that they wouldn’t dream of looking for a job anywhere else!

You are in: Discussion Point Tuesday, 30th March, 11:33pm

Someone’s got to do it...Tell us your bad job experiences. It can’t be that bad, can it?

I once worked at a sweet factory putting sugar on sweets and biscuits. I thought it would be nice because I was a big fan of sweets. Well, I used to go home with sugar in my hair, up my nose and in my ears! It was disgusting and the smell was so strong that I couldn’t get used to it. I only lasted a week, but one good thing did come out of my experience. By the time I left, I had given up sweets altogether.

Larry Mitchell, Southampton

I worked for one summer at a safari park. I liked feeding the penguins and the other animals in general, but cleaning up after them wasn’t much fun, as you can imagine. The worst job I had was in the monkey reserve. You see, as visitors drove through, monkeys usually climbed on their cars for a free ride. At the exit of the reserve, one of us had to stop the monkeys from getting into the next reserve. I can tell you, chasing monkeys around with a stick in the middle of the summer is not fun at all.

Dan Given, Hemsby

My job can be really hard sometimes as it involves taking customers’ orders, answering calls and in general, dealing with people and their complaints. You see, I work at a call centre and the things I have to put up with are awful. Just because people can’t see you face-to-face, they think it’s OK to be rude. It was really difficult in the beginning, but by the end of the first month, I had learnt not to take it too personally. Once, I got so angry with a customer, I shouted back at him, and it almost cost me my job.

Faisal Ahmed, Jeddah

I often remind myself, no matter how bad things get, they could be worse. I could still be working there. I don’t know how I lasted a month at the box factory. I’d had enough before the end of the first week. It was exhausting on the body, but what it did to your mind was most worrying. Boring, just isn’t a strong enough word. I worked with a man who had been there for twenty years! He told me he dreamt of boxes, he saw boxes when he closed his eyes, and he even tasted boxes when he ate. I was so glad when I was fired!

Hi Jerry,

It was great to hear from you. At the moment, I’m working as a photographer for a local newspaper, and I’m very busy. Anyway, I would be more than happy to give you some information about the photography training course I attended.

To begin with, I’ll tell you about the course itself. It was a very well-organised four-week course.The lessons lasted till six in the evening and they were three times a week. They took place at Grand College and the facilities were great. As for the teachers, they were experienced and very helpful.I found it very easy to work with them and I’ve even kept in touch with some of them. However, the fees were quite expensive, but it was definitely worth it. When the course was completed, I receiveda certificate and, as you already know, I managed to find a job within weeks.

So, if you’re thinking about signing up for the course, I recommend it. If there’s anything else you’d like to know, don’t hesitate to ask.

Best wishes,Saleh

Last year, I was invited to Japan by my friend Daiki. On the second day

of my visit, Daiki asked me if I wanted to go to his house for dinner and of course

I said ‘yes’. It was really enjoyable, but halfway through the night, I got something

in my eye. So, I tried to remove it with my finger. Daiki’s brother saw me and he

got really upset. I couldn’t understand why though. I asked Daiki why his brother

was angry with me and he told me that in Japan when you pull the skin down

under your eye, it shows that you find something boring. Later in the evening, I

apologised to Daiki’s brother and tried to clear up the misunderstanding, but I’m

Guess what? I am finally getting married! I am going to send you a formal invitation soon, but I wanted to let you know early so that you can arrange flights and everything. I really want you to come, so start making plans.

In Saudi Arabia, it’s a tradition for the families and friends of the couple to celebrate separately. The groom (that would be me!) and some close relatives are gathering in a house before going to the celebration hall. How about joining us?

I am afraid I can’t put you up because there will be so much going on. But I can arrange for accommodation if you like.

B. Look at the pictures. What is installation art?Read and check your answers.

INSTALLATION ART Installation art is a kind of art that uses the area it’s in to help people enjoy it. It isn’t just about making paintings or sculpture; installation art includes exhibits with sound, performances, video and even the Internet. The people who experience the art often have to use different senses at once, not only sight, but also hearing, smell and touch. You can find installation art in museums and in public places, like parks and shopping centres where many people will see it. Most art installations are temporary and stay at the site only for a few weeks or months. The main point of installation art is not just for people to look at it, but also to experience it and feel like they are a part of the art, too.

1 These days there are many artists who make installation art. Carsten Höller displayed his Test Site in the main hall of the Tate Modern in London from October 2006 to April 2007. Test Site was an installation of five large metal slides that people could slide down for free.

2 Also in 2003 at the Tate Modern, artist Olafur Eliasson installed a glowing sun in the room and a huge mirror on the ceiling. The room was also filled with a mist made of sugar and water. The installation was called The Weather Project and many visitors enjoyed lying on the floor and looking up at their shadows on the ceiling.

3 One of the most innovative artists in the field of light sculpture is Dante Leonelli. His first major exhibition of kinetic light art took place at the Hayward Gallery in 1970 and since then he and his group, the Continuum, have presented some famous works of installation art such as those at the Millenium Dome and at Notting Hill Gate in London. If you pass by these sites you will be able to see some huge rings of light, consisting mainly of LEDs, that are programmed to change colour and intensity according to the changes in ozone levels, air pollution or even in meteorological conditions. These solar-powered rings are supported by almost invisible stainless steel wires and their aim is to increase our ecological and environmental awareness.

A. Read the text below and decide if the statements 1-5 are True or False.

My wife and I are looking for someone to work with us at the Nilgiri Tiger Reserve. We run a nature park that is home to fi fty-six adult tigers, and an education centre which hundreds of schools visit each year. The job is a little unusual as it will involve living in the middle of nowhere and doing a variety of duties. We need someone who can help with the general management of the park, teach children at the education centre, and lend a hand at our home. We have three children; two boys and a girl, between the ages of eight and ten. We live twenty-fi ve kilometres from the children’s school, so I have to drive them each day. The main duties of the person we need include:- booking school trips to the park and organising teaching material at the education centre- managing accounts and organising any shopping that needs to be done- managing staff at the education centre as well as the tiger experts that we hire- teaching classes about the need to protect tigers and their environment- driving our children to and from school when I am unable to- occasional childcare

The ideal candidate should have experience working with children in an educational environment as well as a good knowledge of wildlife and nature. Knowledge of tigers would be an advantage, but it is not essential. As we have many tourists visiting each year, knowledge of at least one foreign language is necessary. Candidates should be computer literate, have experience managing accounts, and hold a driving licence. The most important requirement is that the person enjoys working with people, and is prepared for a unique experience! Here on the park we spend a lot of time away from shops and city life, so don’t apply if you don’t enjoy peace and quiet as well as a bit of adventure!The successful candidate will not be working with tigers directly, so there is no danger involved. We are off ering an excellent salary, free accommodation and 28 days paid holiday each year.

When most people think of soup, they think of a hot dish that keeps them warm during the wintertime. However, in Spain and Portugal, a different soup called Gazpacho is enjoyed by many as a summertime dish. Gazpacho is a soup made with raw tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, garlic and olive oil, and served cold. It originally comes from the very hot southern parts of Spain, where farmers working in the fields during the summer would cool down with the refreshing dish at lunchtime. However, it is now very popular throughout Spain and can be found on menus in restaurants all over the world. There are many different variations of the recipe, some adding olives or onions. The most important factor though is that it is served cold, some people even add ice just to make sure!

GazpachoRambutan This tasty tropical fruit seems unusual to many Westerners. However, rambutans are a common snack throughout Southeast Asia. Its name comes from the word ‘rambut’ which is Malay for ‘hairy’, and this is because of the way it looks. Even though the spines outside look sharp, they are actually quite soft. Once you peel open a rambutan, you’ll find a smooth white fruit. Most people say it tastes like a grape; sweet and sour. Rambutans are generally eaten raw, but some like to stew them with sugar and cloves and have them for dessert. Apart from tasting great, rambutans are healthy for many reasons. For example, they have lots of iron and vitamin C, they make our bones stronger and give us energy.

A. Read the texts and answer the questions that follow.

Learning Tips

In classHow to learn better in class

• Look at the board and take notes.• Listen carefully to your teacher and the CD.• Ask your teacher when you don’t understand.• Speak in English as much as possible.• Take part in pair work and group work activities.

VocabularyHow to learn

vocabulary better

• Write down new words in a notebook. Together with the English word: - write the translation in your language, - write an example sentence, - draw or stick a picture.• Put words in groups or use diagrams. • Learn whole phrases (eg. verb+noun) not just isolated words.• Learn new words in context (in sentences describing

situations). This way, it is easier to remember them.• When you learn new words, you must remember if they are

verbs, nouns, adjectives, etc.• When you learn new words, it’s a good idea to learn any

synonyms and/or opposites.• Refer to the Word List.• Practise the spelling and pronunciation of new words. • Look up unknown words in a dictionary. There, you can find

a lot of useful information about a word: pronunciation, word class (noun, verb, etc.), meaning and example sentence.

• Regularly revise words you have learnt.• Try to use words you have recently learnt when you speak or

write.

• Before you speak, make sure you understand the task and how you should use the prompts.

• Look at the example and use the prompts given.• Use the language you have learnt.• When talking to another person, listen carefully to him/her

and respond to what he/she is saying (e.g. I agree, I don’t know about that). Also, show interest or surprise by using phrases like Really?, Did you?, etc.

• Don’t be afraid to make mistakes when you speak.• Speak only in English.

SpeakHow to do better when doing speaking tasks

GrammarHow to learn grammar better

• Refer to the Grammar Reference.• Use grammar tables.• Have a grammar notebook.

In it write: - tips and/or rules in your language, - example sentences, - important grammatical points

e.g. irregular verbs. • Make a note of grammatical errors that you often make.

• Read the dialogues and texts from your book and listen to your CD.

• Read the dialogues and texts aloud and sometimes record yourself.

• Study the vocabulary and grammar and then do your homework.

• Read selected texts from magazines and newspapers in English.

• Watch TV programmes in English.

ReadHow to do better when

doing reading tasks

• Before you read, try to predict what the text is about with the help of the title and the pictures.

• Look for key words in the text to understand the main ideas.• Try to understand which of the words in the text are really

important. Try to guess the meaning of as many of these words as possible from the context. Use the following strategies:

- Read the words before and after the unknown word and think of the situation. - Try to figure out what part of speech (verb, noun, etc.) the unknown word is. - See if the unknown word is similar to other words in English or in your own language.• Read the text quickly to understand the main idea.• Read the text carefully to understand specific details.• Decide in which part of the text you can find the information

you need.• Make sure you understand who or what the pronouns (he, it,

this, them, etc.) and the adverbs (here, there, etc.) refer to in the text.

ListenHow to do better when doing listening tasks

• Before you listen, read the rubric carefully and look at the pictures, maps, etc. Try to predict what the speakers are going to talk about.

• Before you listen, read the statements or questions carefully. This will give you an idea of what to listen for.

• While listening, try to understand the general idea, not every single word.

• Listen for key words to understand the main ideas.• While listening, don’t assume that an answer is correct just

because the speakers mention a word that is in the activity. Listen carefully before you answer.

• Pay attention to the speakers’ tone of voice to understand how they feel.

• When completing sentences, make sure that your answers make sense.

WriteHow to do better when

doing writing tasks

Learning Tips

• Make sure you understand what you are asked to write. • Before you start writing, think about the topic carefully and try

to come up with ideas which are relevant to it. Make notes of the information you want to include. You can also make a mind map to organise your ideas.

• Plan your paragraphs. Before you start, think of the ideas you are going to include in each paragraph.

• Group relevant information together and put it in the same paragraph.

• Do not write very short sentences. Use linking words (and, but, or, so, because) to join your ideas.

• Use linking words/phrases to add something (e.g. in addition, what is more, also), to express contrast (e.g. but, however), to express result (e.g. as a result) and to give reason (e.g. that’s why). This will make your writing flow.

• Use time linkers (e.g. first, firstly, then, next, after that, later, finally, when, before, while, as, as soon as) to show the order in which events happen.

• Use a variety of adjectives (e.g. spectacular, shocked) and adverbs/adverbial phrases (e.g. luckily, all of a sudden) in your writing to make it more interesting.

• Use words like he, she, it, them, there, etc. to avoid repeating the same words.

• When you write to a friend, start and finish your letter/email in an appropriate way. Remember to use set phrases.

• Write your first draft and correct it. Then write your final draft.• Write neatly.• After you finish, check your writing. Check punctuation and

capital letters, word order, spelling, linking words, grammar and vocabulary.

Dear John,

My brother is thirteen years old. For some

reason he doesn’t want to go to school and

he always feels tired because he has sleeping

problems. What is more, he doesn’t hang out

with friends any more. One day as I was

passing by his school, I saw two of his fellow

students making fun of him. I was very

annoyed, so I shouted at them. Suddenly, my

brother went red as a beetroot and then he

just left. When he came home, he was furious

with me. He said things like: ‘You embarrassed

me in front of everyone!’ I tried to talk to

him, but he wouldn’t listen. Now he doesn’t

talk to me at all. My parents and I have run

out of ideas and we don’t know what to do.

Please help us.

Zoo to see more than 485 different aquatic species. It’s the experience of a lifetime! Kids can also visit the KidZania education and entertainment centre.

Looking for something more special to do? Then visit At the Top Burj Khalifa, on the 124th floor of the tallest building on Earth, and enjoy the view!

How important is it to have a teacher? Different people will answer this question differently. For some, a good teacher is one of the most important parts of education. For others, who prefer to do things on their own, a teacher isn’t as important as the ability to teach yourself. This is called self-teaching or autodidacticism. All through history, there have been a number of self-taught people. Some of them have managed to do amazing things.

One famous historical autodidact was Gottfried Leibniz, a German mathematician who grew up and lived in the mid-17th century. When Leibniz was 6 years old, his father, who was a Professor at the University of Leipzig, died and left little Leibniz an entire library of books at home. The boy began reading all those books, learning as much as possible. He taught himself History, Greek, Latin, Science and Mathematics, and eventually would become one of the founders of modern Calculus.

E. Read the text and complete the sentences.

2.GottfriedLeibnizwasa17thcenturyfrom.

3.WhenLeibnizwas,hisfatherdied.

4.Leibnizlearntaboutmanysubjectsfrom.

5.BenjaminFranklinfirstworkedasa.

6. Franklintookpartinthewritingof.

Another great historical autodidact, this time in the 18th century, was Benjamin Franklin, one of the founding fathers of the United States of America. Franklin was trained only as a printer, but through his own efforts, he became an inventor, engineer, businessman, philanthropist, scientist, politician and diplomat. He helped to write the US Constitution, and in later life taught himself a number of languages including French, Spanish, Italian, and Latin.

So, as we can see, what really matters is how hard you work to become successful.

Dear Tom,

It was great to hear your news. In your email you said something about a photography course you are attending. You know how much I like photography. I would be really interested in fi nding out more about it.

First of all, when does the next course start and how long does it last? Is it possible to do it online, or do I have to attend classes? The most important thing for me, though, is the fees. How much did you have to pay? If it’s too expensive, I don’t think I can aff ord it.

Anyway, I’m waiting for your reply and if there’s anything else you think I need to know about the course, please tell me.

Bye for now,Mike

TomMike

Dear Mike,I’m writing to give you the information you asked for in your previous email.

To begin with,

So, I really recommend it since you like photography. If you need to ask more about it, call me.

Best wishes,Tom

please tell me.

E. Read the text and answer the questions.

So, when did you decide that you wanted to become a cameraman?Well, when I was ten, my father took me to my fi rst football match. It wasn’t a very exciting match so I spent most of the time watching the cameraman at work. I found his work so fascinating! Millions of people would watch the match later on in the evening.So, how did you get started?I wrote a letter to a TV station and took part in a training course. It was really interesting and they thought I was quite talented, so after six weeks, they gave me a job.What was your fi rst job?It was a local cricket match, and to be honest, I didn’t do a very good job. Luckily, I didn’t get fi red, but it was good for me because I always learn a lot from my mistakes. My work improved a lot in the fi rst year or so. But I soon got bored of doing sports.So, what did you decide to do next?Well, I really wanted to travel. I had a friend who travelled a lot with the news. But that can get very dangerous in certain countries. Then I had an opportunity to make a wildlife documentary in Africa, so I took it. I had an amazing time and the experience changed my life. Fifteen years have passed and I’m still working on wildlife documentaries and I love it.What’s the most exciting thing that’s ever happened to you?I was in India once, trying to fi lm a tiger and I wanted to get a good shot. So, I climbed a tree in the jungle because someone said to me, ‘a tiger won’t climb a tree.’ Well, along came a tiger, saw me and you guessed it, climbed up the tree. I was so scared. Luckily, someone in our group managed to scare it away. It got pretty close to me, though.

Everyday Food Around the WorldC. Read the text and answer the questions.

KabsaOne of the most popular dishes in

most Arab countries is kabsa. Chicken kabsa is especially popular in Saudi Arabia and it is made with rice

and chicken. To make it, you also use different ingredients like onions, tomatoes, garlic, raisins and almonds. There are

different ways of making kabsa, but the most important thing to remember is the spices. For example, a true kabsa

is made with a lot of baharat, a special middle-eastern spice, cardamom, cinnamon and black lemon powder.

Dutch Pea SoupThe Netherlands is known for its many kinds of soups, but one

of the most well-known is the traditional pea soup (snert). Almost every restaurant and café has its own special recipe for this soup. The most common ingredients are peas, herbs,

onions, and potatoes. The soup is very thick, and one bowl is definitely enough for a whole meal. The Dutch say that if the soup is good, the spoon

will stand on its own in the middle of it. For people who don’t have time to go to a restaurant, it makes an excellent takeaway that you can buy from small

cafés on the streets or by the canals.

Miso Miso is a Japanese food made by cooking rice, soya beans, and salt together for a long time until they are very soft. The result is a thick paste or spread. This is added as an ingredient to many Japanese dishes, but most

commonly in miso soups. Apart from miso, these soups contain other ingredients, such as fish or mushrooms, depending where

they are made in Japan. Japanese people drink the soup right from the bowl and eat the other ingredients with chopsticks (wooden sticks used to pick up food, instead of a fork). This

kind of soup is very light and full of vitamins, so it’s very good for you.
