3 1 B … if you log on now or in the next couple
shampoo of days, you can get a discount on some
bread purchases. Many – but not all – the products
meat are from the UK, so A is not correct. There
toothpaste are only a few different types of things to buy,
so C is not correct.
2 a shampoo, toothpaste d magazine

b beef, meat e potato, grape because it sells cheap versions of what the
c bread f CD player stars are wearing. The presenter mentions
websites … that sell very expensive designer

Reading  p31
1 A (B isn’t correct because the notice says
hundreds of items and not everything. C isn’t
correct because it says that the sale starts
tomorrow.)
2 B (A isn’t correct because the sign refers
to a coffee shop on the third floor, not a
restaurant. C isn’t correct because snacks are
food.)
3 C (A isn’t correct because, if it were, the sign
would say ‘Do not park here’ or ‘No parking’.
B isn’t correct because the sign says thieves
are active.)
4 C (A and B aren’t correct because there is a
ticket machine. You only need to buy from
a member of staff if the ticket machine isn’t
working.)
5 C (A isn’t correct because the offer applies on
weekdays. B isn’t correct because the offer
applies from 4 o’clock to 6 o’clock, not before
4 o’clock.)
clothes or clothes that used to be owned by the
stars, but then says, Don’t look at those!, so
we can eliminate A and B.
3 A … so many, you may not be able to decide.
Are many and aren’t many sound similar,
but the surrounding context should make
it clear that B is wrong. Sports lessons are
mentioned but the text doesn’t say that these
are best.
4 A Exchanging is a website just for swapping
unwanted items. Explain that just here means
‘only’. There’s no maximum number so B
isn’t correct.
5 B it reviews all the best music sites … you’ll
find out … which are the best sites for you to
download music from. The site doesn’t advise
about music itself, so A isn’t correct.
6 A At the moment it only reviews places in
Europe, but this is changing next month
… it will also review hotels and other top
accommodation in Australia and other
continents. The site gives you links to other
websites where you can book your holiday so
C isn’t correct.

… It’s about 4,000 years old, not ‘less than

eliminate A because It’s the art of diving
without any breathing equipment, and B
because It’s a sport which sets records.

looking at the fish and other sea life. She used to
love diving as deep as possible looking for rocks

for an informal letter.)
Thank you for your last letter. It was great to hear
from you. The ice hockey sounds brilliant!
You asked me if I enjoy sport. Well, I live near the
sea and I love surfing, so I’ve just joined a club. It’s
really good fun because the people are very nice
and I’ve already made some good friends.
I haven’t been surfing on my own yet, but I’m having
lots of lessons. I’m already a lot better than before.
I hope you can come here one day and we can go
surfing together!
See you soon!

2 1 B The main explanations of how Duncan
works are in the first and third paragraphs.
2 D His popularity with the media is shown in
lines 7–8 ... cinema, advertising, tourism, and
for magazine photos. A is not correct because
He started out as a chef (line 5) and C is not
correct because the text mentions ‘Duncan
and his team’ (line 11).
3 A We know they make the ice themselves from
Duncan and his team work very carefully to
produce their ice (line 12). B is not correct
because if the ice is completely frozen, it can
be very hard to work with (line 14). D is not
correct because the ice can burn, so the artists
have to wear protective clothes (line 15).
4 D Many of the sculptures even look better after a
few hours at room temperature (line 21). A is
not correct because of references to ice cubes
(line 10) and the smaller ones (line 24); B is
not correct because the smaller ones don’t

know what it is.
2 correct:  When Tom says I’m sure you’d like it,
Rosa agrees, saying I think you’re right.
3 incorrect:  Tom says The only reason I went was
because my sister got tickets from somebody at
work, so it wasn’t his idea.
4 incorrect:  Tom didn’t enjoy it at first (the
beginning was a bit slow. I couldn’t really
understand the idea at first) but eventually (after
a while) he started to enjoy it.
5 incorrect:  When Rosa asks Tom if he’s doing
anything exciting at the weekend, he replies I
don’t know about that (meaning ‘no’). He then
says I don’t really enjoy watching ballet.
6 incorrect:  When Rosa offers to buy his ticket,
he says I’m not sure about that (which is a polite
way of saying ‘no’). Tom refuses to sell Rosa the
ticket because he’s worried that his sister would
be upset if he didn’t go. But he offers to ask his
sister to get another ticket and Rosa accepts, by
saying Fantastic.

Photo A
I think it’s a cookery lesson.
There are three students and a teacher. The
students (two men and a woman) are wearing
blue aprons. It looks like a uniform so I think it’s
in a college. They might be in their twenties. The
teacher is wearing a white chef’s uniform and a
hat.
There are pots and pans on the stove, which is
between the students and the teacher.
The teacher is pouring some oil into a saucepan.
I think the students are feeling happy and are
enjoying the lesson because they are all leaning
forward and watching what the teacher is doing
and smiling. The teacher is smiling too, so I think
she is enjoying the lesson as well.
Photo B
I think it’s a lesson in a school.
There’s a woman standing in front of the class:
she’s about thirty. She is wearing a blue cardigan
and black skirt. She is watching one of the pupils, a
boy who looks about 14 or 15, who is also standing
in front of the class. He is talking to the rest of the
class. I think it’s a talk he has prepared, because he
is holding some notes.
We can see five other members of the class (girls
and boys) facing the teacher and the boy giving the
talk. They are sitting at their desks and listening to
the talk.
I think the boy and his teacher are feeling happy
because they are both smiling. I think the boy
might be feeling proud.

3 In answer 1b the student is answering a different
question from the one asked: ‘Do you like talking?’
or ‘Do you talk a lot?’ Also, it isn’t long enough.
In answer 2a the student begins by copying the
language in the question (I don’t mind talking
to people) rather than using new language, as in
answer 2b. Answer 2b also shows knowledge of
a wider range of structures and vocabulary than
answer 2a.
In answer 3b, the student’s answer is too short
and does not really answer the question. This is
what is known as a hypothetical question. The
question asks Would you enjoy a job which ... ?,
which means the person answering has to imagine
themselves doing that job; the fact that they have
never tried that kind of job in real life is irrelevant.

 5 Hi Suzie, (optional comma)
Thanks for your last letter. You told me / said that
you went to an 18th birthday party. It sounded
great!
I went to a really good party two weeks ago. It was
a surprise party for my parents to celebrate their
25th wedding anniversary. We had a fantastic meal
and afterwards there was music and dancing. The
best bit for me was probably the food. I always love
eating! The worst bit was that we ran out of coke
and I had to drink water.
I hope we can go to a party together one day.
Bye for now.
Love
Claudia
