LANGUAGES
1. Read the text and circle the best title.
a Language studies in England
b A different language to study
c Why English people study languages
Most students at school study at least one and maybe two languages apart from their own. European
children tend to learn European languages and in England these languages are probably French,
Spanish or German, but one student, Alex Brown, learns another language after school, and its not
European. Its Swahili.
Alex is interested in the language because his grandparents are originally from the southern part of
Africa and their first language is Swahili. So, every day when classes finish, Alex goes to his
grandparents house for his extra class. Alex really enjoys learning from his grandfather, because he
loves hearing all the old stories about his grandfathers childhood.
His grandfather obviously doesnt ask for any money, but Alex pays for the class in another way. He
looks after his grandparents garden. He enjoys cutting the grass and watering the plants, but the one
thing he doesnt like is collecting the fallen leaves from the trees.
Alexs dad picks him up after the class to take him home. Im very happy that my son is learning the
language of my father he says. When he is older he can go to Africa to visit his distant family and talk
to them.

questions.

German.

AN URBAN COW

One day, while I was studying in my bedroom
for an exam, I heard a strange noise, like a cow
mooing. I didnt pay any attention at first
because it was such an important exam that I
really needed to study hard, but then I heard the
sound again. It was so strange because I dont
live anywhere near a farm. I put my book down
and listened but I could only hear silence.
I went back to studying until lunchtime and
then I went into the sitting room, where my
brother was watching television. I asked him
about the cow sound but he didnt know what I
was talking about. The volume on the TV was
so loud that he couldnt hear anything.
I walked into the kitchen and I heard the sound
again, this time much louder. I looked out of
the kitchen window and to my surprise, there
really was a cow in the garden and it was eating
my mums best flowers. It mooed again and I
was so surprised that I could only stand there
with my mouth open.

got the same flowery design and so its just as
unfashionable too. Because its shorter, I also
think its the most comfortable. ______
3 This is the skirt that I like the most. Its long
and quite fashionable. It hasnt got the horrible
flowers of the other two and its quite tight. Its
probably the most uncomfortable but you have
to suffer for fashion! ______
4 These trousers are baggy at the top and tight
at the bottom and I dont think theyre very
fashionable. Theyre quite sporty, I suppose, at
least for playing golf! ______
5 The other trousers are much better. I think
theyre really trendy because theyre tight at
the top and baggy, or flared, at the bottom.
They look really nice. ______
2. Read the texts again and answer the
questions.
1 Why is the first skirt too unfashionable?
Because it has big flowers.
2 Why does Angela say this skirt is
comfortable?

A DIFFICULT DECISION
1. Read the texts and put them in the correct order.
1 d 2 ______ 3 4
a Unfortunately, if I do this, my parents will be really angry. The other option is to leave school and
go and study at college and if I do this, my parents will be pleased but my girlfriend wont, because
the college is in another town and if I go and study there I wont see much of her.
b If I do this, my parents will be happy and so will my girlfriend because she is definitely going to
continue studying here. The next option is to leave school and look for a job. If I choose this one,
and if I find a job, I will have more money, which will be good. This will also make my girlfriend
happy.
c Obviously, the first option is the one that makes my girlfriend and my parents happy, but I think its
the one that I personally dont want. I need a change and if I stay at school I think Ill be
demotivated and bored. So it looks like there is no option that will please everybody: What can I do?
If someone can give me some advice, Ill be very grateful!
d On the 30th of June I have to make a decision and thats not long as now were in April. Im 16 and
finishing my last year of compulsory secondary school this year and Im not sure what to do next. I
have to choose between three options. The first choice is to stay at school for two more years and
there are some advantages to this.

HOLIDAY ROMANCE
1. Read the two e-mails and circle the best descriptions of Keith and Helen.
Keith Helen
a embarrassed a excited
b anxious b stressed
c angry c pleased
Dear Aunt Helen,
I have a big problem. Do you remember the photos of the girl, Isabel, who I met when we were on
holiday in Spain? Well, now I cant stop thinking about her. I cant concentrate on my studies and in a
German test yesterday my mind was blank and I couldnt remember anything! I dont know why, and
I failed it! What can I do? Im worried that Ill fail all my exams because all that I do is think about her.
If I could stop thinking about her, Id be OK.
Love, Keith
Dear Keith,
First of all, I think its great that you met such a lovely girl! Shes very beautiful in the photos you sent
me. You should be glad to know her and you shouldnt be stressed. I know youre unhappy because
shes far away but you should be positive. Shes not in Australia! You could ask your parents for a
plane ticket to Spain for your birthday. And you shouldnt be embarrassed about it. If you explained
how you felt to them, Im sure theyd understand. And you shouldnt worry about your exams. If you
were more relaxed, Im confident that youd pass them. And remember that Im very happy for you!
Aunt Helen

GHOST STORY
1. Read the story and put the pictures in the
correct order.
1 b 4 ______
2 _____ 5 ______
3 _____
Ive never been so frightened as I am now. Im
absolutely terrified! Have you ever seen a
ghost? Well now I can say that I have and
I dont want to repeat the experience ever! This
is what happened.
I was watching television a boring
programme about famous people. It was quite
depressing really. Then I heard a noise like tic,
tic, tic. At first I didnt take any notice but then
it got really annoying, so I switched off the TV
and tried to locate where it was coming from.
However, as soon as I stood up the noise
stopped. I sat down again and the tic, tic, tic
started again. Then I thought it was amusing,
even intriguing. Like a mystery.
Ive had strange experiences before but this was
definitely one of the strangest. I stood up again.
Again the sound stopped. When I sat down
I saw the most shocking thing. Three white
fingers under the sofa. I couldnt stop myself
screaming and in that moment the ghost came
out from under the sofa and said Hello! I ran
out of the room and I havent returned yet.
What am I going to do?

FAME AND FORTUNE
1. Read the text and circle the best title.
a Anonymous Annie.
b A Changed Woman.
c What Ann Used to Be Like.
Ann Clarke is 27 and happily married with two
young children. She looks like a very normal
person, who probably had a very normal past.
Dont be deceived. Ann used to be very
different. For a start, Ann used to be known as
Annie. Annie Mator to be precise, and she used
to have green hair as the lead singer in a rock
group called the Animators, which used to be
very successful in China and Japan in the late
nineties, although not in Europe.
It was amazing at the time. Annie told me.
We used to go out on the streets of Tokyo and
have hundreds of fans asking for our
autographs.
I asked about Europe. No. Nobody knew us at
all in Europe, which was great because we used
to get quite tired of all the attention in the Far
East. We used to spend at least six months a
year there, so it was nice to get back to a place
where you could be anonymous.
So what happened? Why is she now a normal
wife and mother? In the end I just got tired of
all the travelling. It used to be great to live that
kind of lifestyle, but after three years of it
I decided that it was time to lead a quieter life.
I started going out with the drummer who was
on our last tour of China, and now were
married and living in London, where nobody
knows who we are, which is wonderful!
2. Read the text again and answer true, false
or dont know.
1 Ann used to use a different name. True.
2 Ann has green hair now. ______
3 Ann still sings. ______
4 Ann used to be recognised in Tokyo.

5 Ann used to enjoy returning to Europe.

6 Ann prefers her old lifestyle. ______
7 Ann married a musician. ______
8 She misses the fame she used to have.

3. Think about the music you used to like
three years ago and the music you like now.
How is it different? What do you think of
your old music?
I used to really like Britney Spears and
Christina Aguilera and I used to buy all
their CDs, but now I think that their music

DISASTER IN GALICIA
1. Read the text and circle the best title.
a Ship sinks near Galicia
b Oil disaster off Galician coast
c Storm causes ship to sink
In November 2002, the oil tanker Prestige broke in two off the Galician coast, to the north-west of
Spain, leading to one of the worst environmental disasters Spain has experienced.
The ship, which was carrying more than 70,000 tonnes of oil, started to have problems when it was
caught in a terrible storm. The strong waves broke a hole in the side of the ship and, despite attempts to
avoid the disaster, a large amount of oil was released into the sea.
Westerly winds blew a large amount of this oil onto the Galician beaches and rocks, destroying wildlife
and one of the most beautiful parts of European coastline. Fishing also had to be completely suspended
in the area, meaning many local people lost their means of earning money. After a few days floating
helplessly at sea, the P
