Dear Maggie …

“… I am having problems at school. I want to be a lawyer when I leave school and my

parents and teachers tell me if I work hard I will be able to become one. There are

some students in my class who tease me and call me names like “teacher’s pet ”…….”

“… My problem is my skin. I am so embarrassed by my acne. I am seeing a skin

specialist but it is taking so long to see any improvement and I’m sure everyone is

laughing at me. My friends tell me not to worry but ……”

Para 1: expressing sympathyPara 2: your advice and expected resultsPara 3: expressing hope, closing remarks

You can use some of these expressions to help you:ignore them / the best thing you can do / don’t worry /your future / follow your dreams / good luck

Dear ................

I am sorry to hear that you feel like this. Sometimes just thinking positively can go

a long way towards helping the situation.

Trust your friends. They see the person you are and it is your character and

personality that matter. What is important is how you think and behave. Concentrate

on that and let the dermatologist concentrate on the problem. Eat a healthy diet and

get plenty of rest and fresh air. These can help in many ways, including making you

feel better about yourself. Keep smiling, because everyone looks great when they

smile and it feels good too!

I hope my advice helps.

Yours,

Maggie

he loggerhead, also known as the carettacaretta, is a type of sea turtle that can be seenaround the world. It is most famously found onthe Greek island of Zakynthos.

The loggerhead has got a large head. It is around onemetre long and weighs about 350 kg. Its shell is reddishbrown and its skin is yellow.

The female loggerhead lays its eggs every two yearson the beach where it was born. It lays around 100 eggswhich it covers with warm sand. After about two months,the baby turtles break out of their eggs and race to thesea.

The loggerhead is an endangered species. The mainreason its numbers are dropping is that tourists damage

the soft sandybeaches where itlays its eggs. Beachumbrellas placed in thesand can destroy eggs,and litter and sandcastles left bytourists can stop baby turtles reaching the sea.

Also, because the baby turtles use the light of themoon to find their way to the sea, light and noise fromcars and houses can lead them in the wrong directions.

To help save the loggerhead some beaches are nowclosed to tourists. The next time you’re at the beach,make sure to kick down your sandcastle and pick up yourrubbish before you leave. It could save a turtle’s life.

1 Another name for the loggerhead is theA Greek turtle.B Zakynthos turtle.C caretta caretta.

2 The loggerhead gives birthA at the same place every two years.B at different places every two years.C on the same beach every two months.

3 The loggerhead’s eggs are covered in thesand for aroundA 100 days. B 60 days. C 2 days.

4 Beach umbrellas that are put in the sand A can break turtle eggs. B don’t allow the turtles to get enough light. C can get in the way of turtles racing to the sea.

5 Litter and sandcastles can cause problems to turtlesA breaking out of their eggs. B making their way to the water. C laying their eggs.

6 Baby turtles find the direction to the water by A listening to the sea. B using light from cars and houses. C following the moonlight.

(will/going to/conditionals) and Vocabulary and put them in two different boxes. Both groups

place their counters on the START box. Students take it in turns to roll the dice and match the

number on the dice to one of the topics. Students move their counter according to the number

rolled on the dice. They need to complete the sentences or answer the questions. If they give

acceptable answers, they stay where they are. If not, they move backwards one space. The first

I would like to offer a different idea: how about safaris? The animals are protectedand you can see them in their natural environment. All in all, zoos can be pleasant placesto spend a few hours and can help some endangered animals. However, animals thatwere born free should be able to live free.

Zoos give you the chance to be close to wonderful animals, like bears and snakes,some species of which do not exist in the wild any more. This is a completely differentexperience to seeing a documentary on TV! You can learn about the animals, andsometimes even feed them. Zoos keep animals alive that are not able to survive in thewild.

As long as the animals are well looked after, visiting a zoo can be a fun day outfor all the family. I used to go every year with my grandparents. However, I wonder howthe animals feel about being in cages.

On the other hand, some zoos keep the animals in small boxes. Occasionally, theanimals’ living area are dirty or overcrowded. Sometimes the animals have to do tricksand perform like in circuses. Animals are intelligent and they have feelings too. Maybethey do not like being locked up inside cages. It is unnatural for them.

Play in teams of three. Prepare 20 cards with active and passive sentences on them. For each

round of the game, give each team a card. The team members work together to change the

sentence from active to passive, or vice versa. Students have 30 seconds to produce the correct

sentence. If the sentence is correct, their team gets 5 points. If the sentence is wrong or the

students have not produced an answer within the time limit, their team loses 2 points. The

team with the most points after five rounds wins.

Australia is the world’ssmallest and flattestcontinent. It is in theSouthern Hemisphere.Its name comes fromthe Latin word Australis

which means ‘southern’.The central and largest

part of the country is desertand is known as the Outback.
