Author’s acknowledgements
For this new edition of the workbook I’d like to thank Nicola Gardner and my
editor Louise Fonceca as well as my original editor Tim Cater. Your constructive
comments have been extremely useful while I was writing and have definitely
made this a better book.
Of course, I need to thank Lindsay without whom none of this would have been
possible. Onwards and upwards!
The first edition of the workbook also benefited from discussions I had with
some of my students. In particular: Pelagia Thoma, Ilaria Casalanguida,
Aleksandra Milkovska, Sopio Gugunava, Daniela Champin, Safina Alfian Yusof,
Magdalena Surmiak, Elena Urdiales, Michal Hrnciarik, Rasa Yuriychuk, Petar
Hristov, Aline Dias and Gabriela Stemate. I learnt a lot from you all and many of
the exercises were products of conversations we had about what students wanted
from a workbook.
Finally, I'd like to thank my wife Agi, my daughter Aliz and my dog Molly for
their patience, the endless supply of coffee, trying out many of the exercises and
for putting up with my sense of humour.
The publishers would like to thank all the teachers from around the world who
provided invaluable comments, suggestions and feedback on the first edition.
The publishers would also like to thank the following people for their help and
contribution to the second edition:
Tatiana Baytimerova (Russia), Lenka Boehmova (Czech Republic), Dr. Manuel
Padilla Cruz (Spain), Svetlana Elchaninova (Russia), Jennifer Diaz Green
(Dublin), Elena Mokeeva (Romania), Lynn Thomson (freelance editor), Amany
Shawkey (Macmillan Egypt), Maria Teresa Rius Villaplana (Spain), Natalia
Vorobyeva (Russia).

1 Who is it to? 2 W ho is it from? 3 W hat is it about?

Dear dob and Madge,

Welcome to my home. I hopeyou have a nice stay for the

weeks you are here. Here is some useful information about
the house and the town.
Crawford is a nice small town. There are some good shops
but there isn’t a cinema or theatre. There is a beautiful park
near to the rim . The river is about 15 minutes from my
house. There is a small shop on the street. My house,
number 15, is opposite the shop and next to a school.
Don't worry, in the holiday the school is closed so it is quiet.
OK, inside the house. There are three rooms on the ground
floor: the kitchen, living room and a small room at the back
with the washing machine. There are some plants in the
kitchen next to the fridge. Please water them. The TV is on
the table next to the bookcase in the living room. There are
two bedrooms on the first floor. Please use the one opposite
the bathroom. In the study - next to the bathroom - there
is a computer and a small stereo with my CDs.

So, enjoyyour stay.

Malcolm

I really enjoyed this film. The story begins
in New York in the year 3100. It’s about
two people who are from the 21st century
and who are in the same city 1,000 years
in the future. The acting was really good
and the story was very interesting. A really
great film. ★ ★ ★ ★
Mr right?
Sandra (Jo-Anne Massey) moves to a new
city. She is very unhappy because she has
no friends. She meets Josh (Alex Smith)
and they go for walks, they go out for
dinner and she is very happy. Then she
discovers that Josh is married! Jo-Anne
Massey and Alex Smith act badly in the
film. One to miss. ★

‘The best film this year.’ So I went to see it!
I liked watching the two actors - Nell Ash
and Peter Brock - because I think they
were both excellent. But the story was
awful. After only ten minutes, I guessed
the end of the film! OK for a rainy day.

Work is changing. The types o f jobs people have,

Here’s a story from one o f our readers about

the dream job m.

At 1 8 ,1 finished school and

went to university. I studied
English and I thought I was
going to be a teacher and
work in a school.

□ Now I’m a journalist and

I work from home. I write
articles for different
magazines and I’m happy
in my dream job.

□ When I was young, my

mother always asked me
what I wanted to be when
I grew up. My mother always
smiled when, like most
young girls, I said ballerina
or actress.

□ Then, one day, I saw an

advert for someone to write
for the college magazine.
I decided to apply for the
job and was surprised when
I got it. I loved the job and
that’s when I realised this
was the job for me.

Hi Barbara,

How are you? Was your holiday good?

Last month I was on holiday with Tom;
we were in Cancun in Mexico and it was
fantastic. Tom wasn't happy because he
can’t speak Spanish, but I can. We were
there for a week and the weather was
great. It was hot and sunny. The people
were very friendly and there were some
great restaurants. There was one small
problem. On the last day we wanted to
buy presents but the shops weren’t
open. They closed a t 12 o’clock
because there was a festival!
See you soon.
Love,
Samantha

T he woman laughed. ‘A hotel? Here in W oodend? N o, sir, I’m
afraid there isn’t.’ T H E C O R N ER SH O P Proprietor: Dave Slatin
‘W h at a pity,’ said the man. ‘I’m a stranger here. A n d I w ant to
see your village tomorrow.’
T he stranger was very polite. He was tall and had dark hair. A nd
he had strange green eyes.
‘Perhaps Mrs H arrison can help you,’ the woman said.
‘She has a room. Perhaps you can stay w ith her. W ait a m inute.
I’ll get my coat, and I’ll take you there.’
T he woman took the stranger to Mrs H arrison’s house.
Mrs H arrison gave him a room for the night. He was very glad. It
was th e last night of O ctober and it was cold.
T he n ext day was Sunday. T he m an looked round the village. He
was very interested in the history of the village.
He m et some of the villagers and asked them their names.
But he did n o t visit the church. T h a t was unusual. T h e church
in W oodend was the most beautiful building in the village. But the
stranger was n o t interested in it. He did n o t go to church th a t night
w ith all the villagers. It was the first Sunday evening of November.
W h en the villagers came out of the church, the m an had gone.
T hey had all liked him. T he ladies had thought he was very good-
looking.
A few weeks later, he came back. It was the first Sunday in
December. T he villagers were coming out of church. It was cold and
dark.
‘Hello he said.’ ‘I’m back again. It’s nice to see you all once m ore.’
His n ext words surprised everyone.
‘Perhaps you can help m e,’ he said. ‘I’m looking for a house. I
w ant to buy a house here.’
‘Here?’ someone said. ‘But why here? T h ere’s no work in
W oodend for a young man. A ll th e young people leave the village.
T hey find work in Lidney, the nearest tow n.’
‘I’ll get a job somewhere,’ th e stranger said. ‘Perhaps in Lidney.’
T h en one of the villagers told him about old Mr S m ith’s house.
M r Sm ith had died in the summer. His house was empty. It was for
sale. T he house was on the corner of M ain Street and C hurch Lane.
‘I’ll ask about the house tomorrow,’ said the young man.
‘Perhaps I’ll be lucky. Goodbye. I’ll see you soon.’
T he villagers w atched him leave. They all saw his car. It was very
big and luxurious. H e looked rich. A few weeks later, he came back.
A few days later, Mr S m ith’s house was sold. A nd in the middle of The villagers were coming out o f church.
 2 The Village Meeting

T he villagers could n o t believe it. A shop in Woodend!

Everybody talked about it. T here was once a shop in W oodend,
but it had closed tw enty years ago.
Some people w anted the shop, but others did not. T he villagers
m et in the evening in the village hall. Everybody was there.
Everybody was interested in the new shop.
‘The Corner Shop is a good idea,' someone said. ‘We need a village
shop. We w on’t need to go to Lidney.’
T h en Mrs H arrison spoke. She liked th e stranger, Dave Slatin.
‘I agree,’ she said. ‘A village shop is a good idea. It’s too quiet
here. W oodend needs a shop.’
‘N onsense,’ said Miss Brown. She was the village schoolteacher.
‘Lidney is n o t far away. T here are lots of shops there.’
Soon everybody was shouting. T h e n M r H art spoke. He was a
very big man, w ith a loud voice.
‘Listen, everybody!’ he shouted. ‘W e’ve never had trouble in this
village before. W e’ve always been quiet and happy. Now this shop is
causing trouble.’
‘Let M r Slatin speak,’ someone said. ‘It’s his shop. Let him speak.’
‘Ladies and gentlem en,’ said Dave Slatin. ‘I don’t w ant to cause
any trouble. I’m still a stranger in your village. But I w ant to be one
of you. I w ant to be your friend. I like the people of W oodend!’
H e smiled and a few7people clapped. T hey liked him.
‘The Corner Shop will sell lots of things,’ he w ent on. ‘It will sell
food and things for th e house. Everything will be cheap, I promise!’
Everybody was listening carefully.
‘A nd I have another idea,’ he continued. ‘I’ll sell village products.’
‘W hat do you m ean by “Village products”?’ asked Miss Brown.
‘I’ll tell you, Miss Brown,’ he said. ‘I know th a t you make beautiful
bread and cakes.’
Miss Brown smiled. Yes, she did make bread and cakes.
Everyone knew that.
‘A nd you, M r H art, I’ve seen your flowers. You grow beautiful
flowers.’
Now M r H art smiled. Yes, his flowers were beautiful.
Everyone knew about them .
‘A nd M r Everett makes pots,’ someone said.
‘A nd Mrs Davies makes dolls,’ said another voice.
‘A nd I do paintings of the village,’ said old Miss Lucy
Gray.
The villagers met in the evening in the village hall.
‘Yes,’ said Dave. ‘You can all do something. You villagers are
Everybody was there.
clever. You make lots of things. W e can sell them to the tourists. In
the summer, W oodend can make a lot of m oney!’
‘But w hat about th e money?’ said Mr H art. ‘How will you pay us?’
‘T h a t’s a good question,’ said Dave. ‘A nd here’s the answer. You’ll
bring your things to me and I’ll sell them for you. I’ll keep some of
the profit. You’ll have the rest.’
‘W h at a good idea!’ said Miss Brown.
‘Yes, I agree!’ said M r H art.
A ll the villagers agreed. Everyone in th e village was happy w ith
Dave S latin’s plan.
The Corner Shop opened on Monday, 4 th January, 1965. Soon the
shop was busy and Dave needed an assistant.
T he new assistant in The Corner Shop was A nna. She started work
in late January.

Lidney now.’ A nna.
T he other villagers agreed. The Corner Shop was a success and Dave said nothing. H e did n o t w ant to talk about th a t room.
Dave seemed happy. He paid A n n a good wages. Sometimes her
friend, Peter, helped at the shop and Dave gave him money too.
Dave advertised in newspapers and th e village products sold well.
People from Lidney came to The Corner Shop.
T here were lots of visitors and W oodend became more
interesting. T h e villagers were surprised, but pleased. T hey were
m aking a lot of money.
Dave lived alone, in a flat above th e shop. H e was very popular in
the village, but no one ever w ent to his flat. N o one ever saw inside
it.
A t the bottom of the stairs there were two doors. O n e led into the
stockroom. T h e other door had a notice o n it:
SPECIAL ORDERS ONLY: KEEP O U T
T h e door was always locked. A n n a never w ent into the Special
Orders room.

The new assistant in The Corner Shop was Anna.

Sometimes her friend, Peter, helped at the shop.

‘I th in k h e ’s upstairs,’ said A nna. ‘I’ll go and get him.
Does he know your name?’
‘Yes, I th in k so,’ was the reply. ‘Tell him . . .’ T he woman stopped.
‘Tell him Miss G ordon is here. Miss G reta G ordon.’
A nna was amazed. ‘A re you G reta G ordon, the film star?’
‘Yes, th a t’s right.’
T he woman smiled, but she was nervous.
‘W ait a m inute,’ said A nna. ‘I’ll tell M r Slatin th a t you’re here.’
A n n a ran to th e bottom of the stairs and called ‘Dave! Dave!
T here’s someone to see you!’
‘W ho is it?’ asked Dave from upstairs.
‘Miss G reta G ordon!’ shouted A nna. ‘It’s G reta Gordon! T h e film
star!’
‘I’m coming!’ he said, and he came down immediately.
‘I’m pleased to m eet you, Miss G ordon,’ h e said.
‘G ood m orning,’ said G reta Gordon. She and Dave shook hands.
She had beautiful hands and she was wearing beautiful diamond
rings! A n n a had never seen so many diamonds before.
Miss G ordon looked round. ‘Is this where you work, M r Slatin?’
she asked. O nce again, she seemed nervous.
‘Yes,’ said Dave. ‘It’s a small place, but it’s big enough for me.
Please follow me, Miss G ordon.’
A nna was surprised. Dave and G reta G ordon did n o t know each
other. H e did n o t call her ‘G reta’, and she did n o t call him ‘Dave’.
H e seemed to be in a hurry, and she seemed to be frightened.
A nna w atched them . Dave and G reta G ordon w ent to the back of
the shop and into the Special Orders room.
G reta G ordon was a Special O rder customer! A n n a thought th at
was very strange. She w anted to tell someone about G reta Gordon.
A nna loved films. She w anted to tell Peter about th e film star. But
she had to stay in the shop.
Ten minutes later, G reta G ordon came out of the Special Orders
room. Dave w ent straight upstairs and G reta G ordon came to the
front of the shop.
T he film star looked terrible! She was pale. She was crying. H er
eyes were red w ith tears.
‘W h a t’s wrong?’ asked A nna. ‘C an I help you, Miss Gordon?’
‘N o, thanks. I’m all right,’ said G reta Gordon.
‘Do you w ant to sit down?’ said A nna.
She got a chair and the film star sat down.
‘Shall I get the doctor?’ said A nna.
Then, one day in April, an unusual customer

Please tell no one.’
A n n a was disappointed. She w anted to tell everyone about G reta

‘D on’t be silly,’ said Dave. ‘W e w on’t go far! I’ll close the shop at

Dave. H e was playing in another village and returned to W oodend

Dave and A nna were also very late. Dave stopped his car near The
Corner Shop. T he night was warm. ‘Thanks, Dave,’ said A nna. ‘It
was a lovely day.’ ‘I enjoyed it too,’ said Dave. H e pu t his arm round

It was a quick kiss. But for A nna, it was wonderful.

A t five o'clock, she locked the shop door.

Two minutes later, the bell rang and A nna went to the door.
 8 Football Match

he n ext day was the day of the big football match. M r H art had
T invited about te n people. A n n a did n o t w atch th e game. She
was helping Mrs H art in the kitchen. They were making tea.
It was a good game and everyone was enjoying it.
A t half-tim e, Peter w ent into th e kitchen.
‘W hy d o n ’t you come and w atch th e m atch, A nna?’ h e said. ‘It’s
really good. Come on!’
A n n a laughed. ‘N o, thanks,’ she said. ‘I’m helping Mrs H art.
Look, h ere’s th e tea. C an you take it in to the others?’
‘O K,’ said Peter. ‘It’s a terrific m atch. Mike Bailey scored a great
goal.’
Peter took th e tea into th e sitting room and th e second half of the
m atch started.
T h e second half was very exciting. M ike Bailey scored another
goal after tw enty minutes. T h e score was 2-0.
T h en th e other side scored two quick goals. It was 2-2. T here
were only five m inutes of the m atch left.
‘Come o n !’ shouted Peter. ‘Com e on, Mike! L et’s have another
goal!’
In th e last seconds of the match, Mike Bailey scored the winner.
It was his third goal of the m atch.
But som ething was wrong! T h e o th er team ’s goalkeeper was
injured. Bailey had been very near the goalkeeper and he had kicked
the ball very hard. T h e ball had h it th e goalkeeper’s neck.
Mrs H art and A n n a came in from the kitchen.

The young man’s face was white. It was white with fear.

‘A nna, it’s after five o’clock. You can go hom e now.’

‘I w on’t be long,’ said A nna.
Dave was angry. ‘Hurry up and go hom e,’ he said.
But A n n a w anted to stay. She w anted to know about the young
man. T he young m an followed Dave to the back of the shop and
into the Special Orders room.
A nother Special Order! A n o th er Special Customer! A n n a
waited.
But soon it was half past five. A n n a pu t her coat o n and left the
shop. She closed the door very loudly. T h e n she w ent round the
com er, and waited.
Soon, there was a noise. T he young m an was leaving the shop.
A n n a could n o t see him , but she could h ear him . H e was speaking
to Dave.
‘A re you sure?’ said th e young man.
‘W h at do you mean?’ asked Dave.
‘Is this the only way?’ said the young man.
‘Yes, it is,’ said Dave. ‘D on’t worry. Everything will be all right.
Goodbye.’
A n n a heard the shop door close. She came round the com er
and saw th e young m an. H e was walking quickly to his car. A n n a
noticed immediately th a t he was n o t carrying his case. She followed
him.
‘Excuse m e,’ she said. ‘You’ve forgotten something. You have left
som ething behind.’
T he young m an turned round. A n n a stopped. Suddenly she was
frightened. T he young m an’s face was white. It was w hite w ith fear.
‘Please go away,’ said th e young man. ‘Leave me alone. I w ant to
go home. Leave me alone.’
H e got into his car and drove off. A n n a stood in th e street and
watched him . She was thinking.
W hy had the young m an come to The Corner Shop ? W h at was his
Special Order? A nd why had he left his small case w ith Dave Slatin?
A nna did not watch the game. She was helping Mrs Hart in the kitchen.
