Anyway, you go «nd have 4 shower and change and I'll see you outside in a few minutes. Dialogue B A: Excuse me ~ Ii like some information about tours of the city B: Certainly, can help you with that, There are three different buses offering trips round the centre. ‘A: Do you know where they leave from? B: Yes ~ two of them leave from the museum, and one leaves from the park. A: Could you show me on the map, please? Dialogue C A: Excuse me. Have you got this monthis issue of Music ‘for Teens?

It a great way to relax, listen fo music and enjoy yourself: You can even dance and move around a bit if you like. Ifyou're lucky, you'll find a nice patch of grass where you can sit down for a while and sip on some refreshing drinks with friends. Who wouldn't like that? Speaker B Tima huge fan of the digital music revolution. Tlove being able to download any song I want and listen to it ona device that fits in my pocket. There’ no end to what kind of music you can get in this format, because it seems like nearly every tune ever made has been put into this computerised form. Lalo like the fact that you ‘an buy just one song, and not an entire album. That’ less expensive, in my opinion. Speaker © 1 think music’ changed quite alot since my parents’ day. Nowadays think there a lot of electronic instruments in se, and that’s kind of disappointing. Ive listened to a few of my mum’ old records, and I like the real guitars ‘and drums without the electronic sound. I like the real voices too, not ones that have been changed digitally. think there's quite alot of real music out there these days, but there’ also lots of competition from pop bands and so on. Speaker D Te been playing in a band for a couple of years now. Tearit say Tm ready to quit my job to become a full-time ‘musician, but I think my band mates and I have got a _good thing going on. Weve almost got enough music to put an album together, and then we're going to try and save up enough money to record it Its expensive, being a musician, but if we make it big, money won't be 4 problem any more. Speaker E 1 think record shops will become a thing ofthe past realise its much more convenient to buy digital mute, and Tm not against that. But I miss hanging out in a record sho, looking a all the albu covers, running into ‘people you know wit love music als. It wasa social thing Sure, there are still some record shops around, but imagine theyre having a tough timed fel sorry for them!

Don't worry, there are plenty of other matches coming up. Speaking of football, 'm going with some friends to a Cariton United match on ‘Sunday. Would you like to come? ‘That would be great!

Pasgen 5 (sananna 10 rosopenmo) Warm-up sample answer: I think TV isa good form of entertainment because there are alot of exciting things to watch, such as comedies, dramas and films. I don’ think its a good idea to watch TV all the time, but watching it for an hour or two a day is OK. ‘Task 1 sample answer: Its good to have a hobby because it gives you something interesting to do, and its something that you want to do. You can choose whatever hobby you like. This means ‘you'll be excited to do it, unlike with homework or household chores that you have to do, One hobby that interests me is collecting coins from other countries, because its amazing to see what designs are on these coins and how they are different from the ones in your own country. I would probably prefer to do a hobby on my own, especially with coin collecting, because its not something ‘you can do with other people, but I like to show my coin collection to my friends. Does anyone you know have a hobby? ‘My friend Sasha has a hobby of building train sets. He has one of the biggest train sets Ive ever seent Its got lots of track, some bridges and even a little town. Why are hobbies less popular today than they used to be? I think hobbies are less popular today because people spend their time on the internet alot, or they use their ‘mobile phone, or they keep themselves busy in someother way. I think people are also busier these days than they used to be. But its nice to have a hobby because it can help you relax and take your mind off stress. Test 1: INTERLOCUTOR CARDS.

It was wonderful to hear all ‘your news, You asked me about your friend’ birthday. I can see ‘your problem. Its dificult to know what to buy, isnt it? Ive bought lots of presents for friends. The secret is to think of something unusual, because everyone will get them CDs and things like that. Maybe try to _find something funny, or give them something that is very personal, like a photo in a frame. If you choose something lke that, they'll definitely love it! Good luck. I'm sure you'll choose something great. Let me know what you decide to give him! Bye for now! Sergei Pasgen 5 (saqanua no ronopenitio) ‘Warm-up sample answer: like alot of sports and games. I play football and tennis, like football because its fun to play with your friends, play tennis at a tennis club and that’s a bit more serious. Sometimes we play in competitions. I like watching sport on TV, too - especially football, like the World Cup! Its so exciting to see the bes players. Sometimes Igo to see my local football team play, and that’ great, too. ‘Task 1 sample answer: think computers are very useful for students, because ‘you can use them for lots of different things. You can write documents on them, so if you are doing an essay, its easier and quicker to type, especially if you make a mistake or want to change something. You can also put pictures in, ifit isa report or something like that Tse a computer for homework, but I also play games on it.I go online and connect to this game which millions of people all round the world play together. You can meet people and have fun, and its a great way to relax, too. also watch movies and TV shows on the computer, and of course I use social networking sites like Facebook 10 keep in touch with my friends. I think you have to be careful with computers, because they can take up so much of your time. I mean, some people spend hours and hours playing games and they don't do their homework, or they stay up t00 late at night, or they lose touch with their friends. Andcomputers are not the same as people - you need to leave the house and see people fae to face. Its not healthy to stay on the computer all the time. How has the world changed because of computers? The world has changed a lot because of computers, not just with games or social networking, but in other important ways, too, Banks and governments use computers, and hospitals and the police all use computers in their work.

In some cases they ‘are very important if you have an emergency and you need to call someone to help you. I think we should use them carefully, though. Its not a good idea to talk on them all the time. ‘Task 1 sample answer: I think exams are important because they're a wuy of showing what you've learnt throughout the year. They ‘make you study and learn things that you might never learn without an exam. Lots of people hate exams and find themt stressful, but don't mind them. In fact, I enjoy them! I make sure I've studied enough so I can answer the questions and show what I've learnt. Ta prefer to have lots of short exams often because you don't have fo study as much at one time. Also, if you do badly in one, it isn’ a serious problem because you can _get marks in lots of other exams too. How do you usually study for exams? usually write everything down, and then test myself.

We sat down and ordered, then the waiter left. After twenty minutes and no food, we complained to another waiter, who told us hel check on our order. ‘Thirty minutes passed, then our food arrived, which was all wrong. I would have eaten anything at that point, because Twas so hungry. But theyd brought ‘me a horrible salad, I just ended up eating my dads hamburger. Speaker B love going out to eat because the food's always so much better than what we have at home. Often, though, I find ‘myself having trouble with ordering. I usually want at least three things on the menu. I'll start off wanting pizza, but then I wonder if nachos would be better, or a hamburger with a side dish of chips. [finally choose something, but by the time it arrives, I wish Ti chosen something else! Speaker C At my school, were allowed to leave the building to eat during lunch, My friends and I have been going to this new burger joint about three blocks from school. We have to rush to get there and order, because we only hhave 45 minutes for lunch. And, by the time our food comes, we have even less time to eat it. But I don't mind, the food is still good even if you have to eat it quickly. Speaker D ‘There have been some new restaurants that have opened recently round here. We've tried a few, and I liked their food. But what I've realised is that I really appreciate our old places. They've got some ofthe best dishes, and weve been to these places so many times that we actually know the waiters quite well. For the new places, I wish them the best of luck. But I don't think they'll be seeing me round much, Speaker E enjoy going out with my family, and eating out is usually the only time we do this. But my dad always insists on going to the pizzeria near our house. It's true that they have the best pizza in town, but one night begged my dad to go to this Thai restaurant. He wasn't keen om itat frst, but in the end he loved it. It was something different forall of us, and that made ita very special occasion.

Yelena Pasgen 5 (saganna no rosopenuio) ‘Warm-up sample answer: I think its really important to be able to speak a foreign language, because it means you can communicate with people from different places. I mean, if you only speak the language from your country, you won't be able to talk to someone from another country. That’ why a lot of people learn English, because itis a common language in the world today. ‘Task 1 sample answer I think itis very important to know people ofall ages, because you can learn things from them. Ifyou just know people your own age, then you're missing something, in a way. Our parents are older than us, and sornetimes our brothers and sisters or cousins are younger than us, 0 you can see that it normal to be with other people who are different ages. You can learn a lot from olderor even younger people. Older people have more experience in the world and can help you with your problems, because they have faced the same problems in the past. My grandmother is really old and she helps me with my problems, particularly with other people. My little sister is only four years old, and when T watch her, I can see how she sees the world differently and it makes me think how we learn about the world and how this changes us. ilder people are different because maybe they have more responsibilities than me. I don't have a job or a house orany children to look after so I think that i a big difference. People who are even younger than me have even fewer responsibilities than me ~ no homework, perhaps, or no {jobs to do around the house because they are too young. Do you admire one particular older person? Yes, I think I admire my grandmother the most As Isaid, she is very old and very clever now from all her experience, and she can explain things to me that 4 younger person just wouldn't know about. She worked for many years and now she is retired, so she has seen «lot in her life and I'm lucky to learn things from her How do you think you will change as you grow older? I think ~ I hope ~ I will become cleverer. I mean, through ‘my experiences, I hope I learn from my mistakes and will try not to make them again. I think when you grow colder you might become more serious, but I don't want ‘that, think its important to stay young at heart, even if you have serious responsibilities like a family and job.

I don't use it for those close to me, as I prefer to call or text “friends, or use social media such as Facebook. I prefer ‘social media for friends and family because it allows ‘me to communicate with lots of people at once. Social networking is much more dynamic and interactive than email. But email is a very useful tool for keeping in touch with business contacts Speaker B When I was younger I used to love sending and receiving letters. They were such an elegant way to communicate. They required thought and care. But, of course, with the rise of modern technology, letter writing simply ell out ‘of fashion. I wasn't very keen on sending emails in the beginning. I thought they were very impersonal. But now realise they're a good way to keep in touch with old ‘friends and family who live far away. Speaker C ‘My generation don't write long letters or emails. We're used to writing short text messages. Basically, each _gencration finds their own way to communicate and ‘we aren't interested in the way things were done in the past. My mum and dad are very critical ofthis because they think we've lst the skill of communicating with long texts. That may be true. But we've gained lots of, other skills. We can say more in 3 words than others can in twenty! Speaker D Td rather send an email or a letter than a short text. Everything in life these days has been reduced to short messages. Nothing has any real substance anymore. How can I express how I feel, or tll others my news, in ‘one sentence? The thing about writing letters is they have depth. Idonit want my life to be a shallow one-line joke. ‘Things like text messages are fine for quick contact, but we shouldn't lose our ability to express ourselves fully. Speaker E Twas never much ofa letter writer in the old days. They take such a long time to write and ages to arrive at their destination. It was always far easier to call someone ~ though, obviously, a lot more expensive. Emails are ‘much better. Theyre easy to write - if you can use 4 keyboard properly - and they get there instantly. 1 still like calling people, because I love to hear their voice, but email is the next best thing.
