1. Read these sentences from the text and notice how we link sentences

in English.a. Roland is a paediatrician and needs to be on call day and night.b. Although by profession Jo is a school bus driver, her other interests

include painting, walking her dog and reading romantic fiction.c. She doesn't like watching television because she thinks it is a waste of time.d. Roland Brand, besides the County Council Library & Arts Services

prize of €1,000 gets a laptop computer contributed by PC Factory.e. Roland's working hours are long and the work is intense, but he still

likes to dedicate time to his passion: writing.

2. We usually use shorter sentences when speaking and longer sentences

in writing. Linking words provide a text with cohesion and illustrate howthe parts of the text relate to each other

We use and to add extra information, but to contrast ideas, because toexplain the reason, besides to say that there is something additionalincluded and although to indicate a contradiction.

3. Go back to the text and copy all the sentences that contain these linkingwords into your notebook. Can you understand them better now?

MAKE CONNECTIONS

Join the sentences using and , but , because, besides or although.

his career.e. Jo Campbell is from London. She is a school bus driver.f. She drives a school bus. She also dedicates her time to other hobbies.

Fill in the gaps in this text about different ways of communicating withthe expressions in the box.

16

· computer · gestures · photos · speaking · telephone

We use various ways of communicating with each

other; the most effective are _________ and _________,

but these types of communication require people to be

present in front of each other. The problem arises when

two people are at a distance. The invention of the

_________ makes it possible to communicate even when

people are far away from each other. Unfortunately, this

channel only allows us to use our voice but not images.

However, the invention of the _________ helpsus share a huge amount of information

through other types of data such as

written messages, _________

and even videos.

you understand what other people want to tell you. You offer your own feelings and

reactions. You are not born with communication skills. You learn communications skills.

We learn communication skills observing other people. We use words and sounds to

communicate. We also use other means such as gestures and facial expressions.Communication is important. It helps us understand each other.

HOW TO GROW HEALTHYDo you want to stay healthy? I'm sure you do.

This brochure offers you tips on how

to stay healthy and keep fit.

Tip 1First of all, you should getenough sleep for a youngperson who needs lots of energy in the morning.Next, get some goodbreakfast. Breakfast is a meal that fills your"empty tank" after a long night without food and

it can help you do better in school. You can eateasy-to prepare breakfasts that include cold cerealwith fruit and low-fat milk, whole-wheat toast, yoghurt with fruit, or an egg sandwich.

Tip 4

Do you prefer exercising orsitting in front of a TV? Would you rather go for a bike ride orread a book? Vigorous work-outis good for you because when you breathe hard your heart works better, you havemore energy and you look and feel your best. Startwith warm-up exercises that stretch your musclesand include 20 minutes of aerobic activity, such asrunning or dancing. Do it in a gym or in the park,where you can also meet your friends.

Tip 5You don't have to give up foodslike hamburgers, and ice creamto eat healthy. But choose theones you like the best and besmart about how often and howmuch you healthily. Your body needs nutrients,which are products such as protein, carbohydrates, fat and many different vitamins and minerals suchas vitamins C and A, iron and calcium from avariety of foods. You can talk to a nutritionist who

can tell you about different types of food.Tip 6 Your dad is probably sittingin front of the TV and maybe your mum is reading a paper.Come on, mum and dad!Let's get going because beingactive is much more fun with friends or family.People who are active live longer and happier lives.

Tip 7

A healthy eating style is like apuzzle with many parts. Eachpart is different. There are foodsthat have more fat, sugar or saltwhile others have more vitaminsor fibre. Eat a little of all these foods because whatmakes a diet good or bad is how the foods fittogether. Balancing your choices is important.

Tip 2Would you rather take a busor ask your parents to drive you to school? But if yourschool is not too far whydon't you invite a group of friends who can all walk with you when you go to

school? It can be fun talking along the way.Tip 3What's your favourite snack:chocolate or cookies? If you snackall the time on salty crisps orsugary cookies it's not the rightkind of food in the middle of themorning. Choose snacks thatcome from different food groupswhich may be a glass of low-fatmilk, an apple or celery sticks with peanut butter

and raisins, or some dry cereal. If you eat smart atmost meals then cookies, chips and candy are OK for occasional snacking.

Countable nouns are things you can count, for example tomatoes, pizzas,olives, days, etc. They can be used in plural and singular.Uncountable nouns cannot be counted as units. They are used only in

singular, for example pasta, butter , bread , spaghetti , cheese.(Careful with the word fish. It is usually used in singular. For example: I

bought some fish for dinner . But when we refer to different species of fishwe can say: The fishes in the lake were salmon, eel, trout and carp.)

4. To indicate quantities related to these items we use many and a few withcountable nouns.

I don't need many tomatoes.How many olives did you eat?Give me a few ideas.

S ome people say that being a restaurant reviewer is the best job in the world but sometimes it's not. Visiting The Crazy

Cows was a disappointing experience. And the decoration was

crazy too - metal seats in repulsive black and white leather andpictures of cows on the walls. Although I had a booking for atable for two it took the staff 20 minutes to accommodate me and my partner. "We have too manyguests and not enough waiters," the manager explained. The appetiser arrived half an hour later -a cold tomato soup with some old bread. When the steak came (well- done, please, I asked) it wasstill red and looked uncooked. I asked for some garlic sauce for the meat but they didn't have any!The experience was too bad to wait for dessert. "Do you have any fresh coffee?" I asked. And guesswhat? They didn't have any. But I was really shocked when I received the bill. It was tooexpensive. I didn't leave tip and left the restaurant very angry. It was a wasted evening. Take mysuggestion and don't visit The Crazy Cows!

T he second restaurant was El Mariscal. It has some potential because of its great location and an exceptional selection of

ingredients. The food is excellent and the service impeccable,the staff are friendly, well-presented and very polite. Thedecoration is cheerful with lovely photos of the ocean and somegreen transparent fish on the wall; the place has a great atmosphere. In general, it was the bestmeal I've had for a long time. It was well-cooked and it came very quickly. First of all, I hadmussels with some parmesan cheese. They were delicious and really fresh. And, for the secondcourse, I chose salmon which came with butter and pepper sauce and some spicy potato purée and

asparagus. Last, I had some lovely dessert - passion fruit mousse and, to top it off, I drank a cup of strong black coffee. Only one thing was not quite right - they didn't have any artificial sweetenerfor coffee - just sugar. The meal was not too expensive either. I would definitely recommend El

Mariscal for a delicious meal.

C afé Dolce Vita is a lively and authentic Italian restaurantwith a typical decoration of simple tables covered with

cheerful red tablecloths and pictures of Italian landmarks suchas Rome and Venice. The best thing about the restaurant is theprice! If you order before 7 p.m. you get two dishes for the

price of one - a really good offer if you consider their size. I hadsome Pasta Alfredo and my partner had cannelloni with spinach and a little cheese. We had sometiramisu for dessert - really delicious. The restaurant didn't get full marks because the service wasnot very good - the waiter was too slow. But overall, I would recommend the place mainly because when we finished the food I felt really good and I thought that this is what restaurantsare all about - a good meal.

READING - EATING OUT THE JAPANESE WAY

II. ______________________Sushi has a very interesting origin and it continues to be apopular food today. It is made with a combination of shellfish, cooked or raw fish, vegetables, and rice. Althoughsushi is most commonly linked to Japan, it actually beganin China during the 7th Century. When people caught fishthey had to preserve it and the only method was byfermentation. People cleaned, filleted, and pressed raw fishbetween some sea salt and usually put a very heavy stoneon top of it. The fishstayed this way forweeks until the cook removed the stoneand then put onsome type of lightcover. The fish

remained in the saltlayers for a couple of months until thefermentationprocess wascomplete.

III. _____________________Tomoe is the kind of placewhere decoration doesn'treally matter. It is simpleenough, with a few Japaneseprints; the waiters areJapanese - all really quick and polite. And the price wasalso right, considering thatthe meal was good andabundant enough.

Adapted from http://www.asianartmall.com/originsofsushi.htm and www.menupages.com

I. ______________________Tomoe Sushi is one of New York's high quality sushirestaurants, if you don't mind waiting in a line for a seat. Ireally enjoyed my visit there - the sushi served is deliciousand a great value. We had some great rolls with salmon -you could really feel they were fresh! Then we ordered aportion of Trout Roses - 6 pieces. They were fantastic andthe rice was great - it was the right texture and not too

soft. I'm not a great expert at eating with chopsticks so ittook me a while to get the hang of it but once I tried it wasnot too difficult. Finally, we had some Japanese green teaand a few sweet rice cookies.

A family of bakers is today theholder of a new record,creating a colossal scone whichis 700 times bigger than atypical scone you can buy inany bakery.The Hallet family's creation isgoing to become the mostimportant part of the world's

largest tea party organised forthe Torquay Food Festival.Mrs. Hallet, a baker byprofession and, together withher family, the creator of thehuge scone, told us today:

“If you want to make a giantscone you start by collectingthe ingredients; you'll need alot! To make a scone similar toours you need 13kg of flour,2.5kg of butter, 9kg of milk,

2kg of sugar, 600g of bakingpowder, 120g of salt, 12.5litres of cream and 20kg of strawberry jam.” This is the first time Mrs.Hallet is making a scone thissize but she says she is going tokeep making enormous sconesin the future.

“As a baker I usually makebread and cakes. But they arenormal bread and cakes that

you can buy from my shop inTorquay every day. Ourmassive scone is madeaccording to a 100-year-oldrecipe I inherited from my

grandmother who was a farmerand which I've always wantedto make. One day, as I wastalking to my family they said:You've got to make somethingreally big and unusual. So I said- I'm going to make a reallyenormous scone. And this year,our town of Torquay is

organising a Food Festival sowe're going to donate thisgigantic scone to the event.This is an unforgettableexperience for all of us” Mrs. Hallet also said: “I wantto thank all our friends andneighbours who helped uscreate this scone.”

This is a report from our USAcorrespondent, Jenny Rush,who in two days’ time is goingto witness an unusual andspectacular event.Ken Crouch, a garage owner,will make his childhood dream

come true. Ever since Ken read “The Wizard of Oz” he haswanted to fly. And thisMonday, he is going to flyacross the blue Oregon sky …in a chair tied to 150 hugemulti-coloured party balloons.The chair is going to fly overthe mountains on its 318-km journey across the desert. If the weather conditions arestable Ken will land on a field

where reporters from variousnational and internationalmedia are going to interviewhim about his personalexperience.

Something that everybody isasking about and which seemsto be the most difficult part of the journey is the landing.Ken explains: “Yes, it'scomplicated but someone said:why don't you take your air

gun with you? So I'm going toshoot the balloons to let theair out. I've calculated that if Ishoot 50 balloons I can land onthe field quite safely. I have toshoot them one by one to geta soft landing.” The whole trip across Oregonis going to take 9 hours tocomplete. Ken's wife and histwo teenage sons are going tofollow his adventures overland

in a jeep.We are not sure how safeKen's adventure is but we haveto say it looks like onecolourful journey.

ATLAS AND HERCULES

I. _________________________Atlas, a Greek giant, and one of the firstborn sons of Earth, didnot like the way Zeus and hisfriends ruled the world. So one

day he decided to lead a revoltagainst the Mount Olympusgods and take the throne byforce for himself. Zeus, who wasquite vengeful, got very angrywith him. ______. (1) “I wish Iknew what kind of punishmentto give you,” he thought. “Iknow! As of now, you're goingto hold the weight of the worldupon your shoulders.” And

from that day on Atlas had tostand in the middle of theuniverse, all alone, holding theearth on his shoulders.

II. _________________________One day, the hero Herculesapproached him with anunusual request.“Good morning. How are you

doing today?”Atlas's nose started to itch very badly. “I wish I could scratchmy nose,” he thought but hecouldn't drop the weight.“The same as every day. I wishI were somewhere else but I'mhere. What can I do for you?”he said aloud to Hercules.“Can you do me a favour?”Hercules asked.

“And what would it be? I wishI could move, but as you cansee I'm stuck here for ever andever,” Atlas answered.“I have some very urgent work to do as I've got to get the

Hesperides golden apples. (2)_____________.”The Hesperides werespectacular nymphs who lived

in an orchard guarded by the

terrible hundred-headeddragon Ladon.“And?” Atlas asked.“Well, if you get the apples I'llhold the earth for you. It's thatsimple. So - what do you say?Do we have a deal?”Atlas, who was rather naïve,thought for a while aboutmaking an excuse.“Hmm, he'll hold the earth for

me if I get him the apples. Fineand good - but I'm not going totake the earth back from him!(3) _____________!”

III. ________________________So Atlas passed the Earth toHercules and set off to get thegolden apples.(4) _____________ “Got the

apples but I'm not going to take back the earth,” he laughed.”You think I'm stupid? All thetime I stood here wishing Icould be somewhere else andnow is my only chance.”Hercules, who was much smarterthan Atlas, said: “That's OK; I'lldo my best and keep holding thisweight. But why don't we dosomething before I'm stuck here

till the end of times? Could youhold it for a while so that I canscratch my nose?”Atlas remembered how heoften wished he could scratchhis nose and couldn't.

“But will you take it back fromme after you scratch your nose?”“Of course I will. You have myword of honour,” lied Hercules.Atlas put down the basket with

apples and took the earth fromHercules's shoulders.“In a moment I'm going to befree like the wind. All the thingsI'm going to do! And stupidHercules will stay here forever,” Atlas thought to himself.But Hercules picked up the

basket with the apples andstarted to walk away.“Hey, what do you think you're

doing? Aren't you coming back?” Atlas yelled.“I wish I could, but I'm terribly

busy right now,” Herculesanswered and kept walking.“Cheerio!” he shouted andquietly kept walkingand neverlooked back.

2. What do the sentences express?

We use this structure when we would like things to be different from what

they actually are. We use the verb wish to refer to how we'd like things to be

in the present or to talk about how we would like things to be in the future.

3. The general concept is sometimes known as 'wishful thinking' andoften coincides with the use of ojalá in Spanish.

Here are more examples:I wish you were here.It's so hot today. I wish we had a cold drink.

4. Notice that we use the Past Tense after the verb wish.

like to.

Examples: I want to be a fire fighter when I grow up.

3. We sometimes use wish + infinitive as a formal alternative to want to orwould like to with reference to present and future wish situations.

Examples: I wish to make a complaint and I would like to see the manager.

I do not wish to renew my subscription; I want to cancel it

I wish to remove my name from your database. I want a

I know it is hard to believe butit must be true because myfather told me this story, andmy father never lies. When hewas a child my father lived inthe mining town of Antofagasta, far in the north of our country. His parents had asmall house with a tiny garden

and next door lived a youngman called Esteban who was amining engineer. The minewas quite far from the city of Antofagasta and Esteban hadto drive to work nearly 80kilometres each day. His carwas very small and very oldand it always made a lot of strange noises. So one dayearly in the morning, when

Esteban left home to go towork he turned on the engineand he was not surprised tohear that it started making a

strange purring noise, just likea cat. He turned on the radioand drove happily for manykilometres, ignoring the funnynoise. Next day, when he gotinto the car, there was thenoise again! And this time thepurring was even stronger.“I wish I had a new car”,

Esteban thought. “I wouldlike to have a shiny new Fordor a Jeep.”After a while the noise gotlouder.“It must be the engine. I haveto take it to the garage andget it checked”, he said tohimself.The third day the car purredeven more and this time

Esteban got really curious.Engines, even old ones, don’tusually purr! He stopped atthe side of the road and

opened the bonnet of the car.Can you imagine his surprisewhen he saw two scaredyellow eyes looking up athim? It was Lottie, my dad’scat stuck between the engineand the water tank! It took Esteban nearly three hours toremove the water tank and

free the terrified kitty! And hewas late to work, but my dadwas really grateful for gettinghis pet back safe and sound.

Play the BLIP game (sometimes known as COFFEE POT).

1. Play in groups of six students.2. Choose a verb from the box below that indicates something that you have done recently.3. The group must discover the verb through YES / NO questions using mainly the Present Perfect

tense, but other tenses can be accepted.

4. The nonsense word "BLIP" should replace your chosen verb until a player asks a question usingthe real verb. If this is correct, it is that player's turn to choose a verb.5. The aim of the game is not to guess the meaning of the word "Blip" straight away. When you

think you know the meaning of the word "Blip", you could ask further questions which make themeaning of the word "Blip" clear to the rest of the group or which amuse the student who isanswering the questions.

Here are some sample questions.

• Have you blipped in the living-room / dining room / garden / street / kitchen / in a restaurant?• Have you blipped with a friend / your teacher / your family / alone ?• Have you blipped since you arrived at school / in the last twenty-four hours / this month / this year?• Do you feel tired / happy / sad / angry / hungry / thirsty after you have blipped?• Do you like blipping?• Do you often blip?• Did you blip yesterday?• Are you blipping now?
