excellent diving.

10. Practise this dialogue with your friends.

A student is talking to his advisor.
Student : Mr Wilson, what do you recommend regarding my chemistry class?
Should I drop it or continue with it?
Mr. Wilson : I think it would be a good idea to talk with your instructor. Try talking with
her about your problems and see what she suggests.
Student : What if she says I should continue with the class?
Mr. Wilson : Then my recommendation is that you follow her advice. She doesn’t want
to fail you.

CHAPTER 2
I Have Waited a Long Time
1. Listen to the following monologues. As you listen, fill in the blank spaces.
Monologue 1
Man : The rescuers took almost two hours to save the old man from the damaged
roof, so they must have been tired and hungry. A witness said that the man
was very lucky. They found the man at 3pm. By that time, the roof had broken
into pieces. Look! They were trying to carry the man in a boat for almost 20
minutes. They were hoping that they would arrive at the nearest hospital
before dark.

Monologue 2
Woman : The children have been looking for their parents for almost an hour. They must
be very worried and sad. They promised their parents that they would meet
them at the bus shelter. But their parents are late. When the children got there
at 9, they did not meet their parents. Look! They have been sitting there for
more than 30 minutes. They are sure they will have met their parents before
lunch.

2. Listen to the monologue and fill in the blanks.

Man : Some members of The Sunday club have had to wait for a bus for almost an
hour. They looked happy. One of them said that the first bus had come at 9
0’clock but it had a puncture. And, by that time not all members of the club
had arrived, but they were sure that all members would arrive before the next
bus comes.

3. Listen to two students complaining about the weather and the bus. As you listen,
fill in the blank spaces with the correct responses.
Student 1 : It’s really cold now, isn’t it?
Student 2 : Right. It’s cold outside and, you know, I have to wait for a bus.
Student 1 : Yes, and it isn’t fun to wait more than fifteen minutes.
Student 2 : Fifteen minutes? We’ve been waiting here for more than fifteen minutes.
Student 1 : Correct. That’s why I am freezing.
Student 2 : But we’re not alone. Look at those people! They’ve been standing there before
we came.
Student 1 : What a pity! They’ve been watching the traffic, looking for a bus, and hoping
the bus will come.
Student 2 : Can you guess what they’ve been talking about? They seem noisy.
Student 1 : Perhaps they’ve been talking about the bus and complaining about the
weather.
Student 2 : Do you think they feel cold? It seems they are OK with the cold weather.
 Student 1 : I think so, too. Look! They’ve been drinking something to keep them warm.
Student 2 : How about warm coffee?
Student 1 : That’s a good idea. By the time the bus comes, we will have finished our
coffee.
Student 2 : Actually I had stopped drinking coffee when I knew that it was not good for my
stomach. But today is different. I need it to keep me warm.
Student 1 : OK. Let’s go to the coffee machine.

11. Practise this dialogue with your friends.

Markus : Hey, Zaenab, have you heard the news about the eruption of a mountain in
North Sumatra recently?
Zaenab : Yes, I have. I saw it on TV yesterday. That’s Mount Sinabung. It has erupted
again and again.
Markus : That’s true. The SAR team has evacuated the victims to a safe place.
Zaenab : Thank God. If they hadn’t come to help them immediately, those people would
have surely died.
Markus : And you know what? Two days ago, Mount Sinabung emitted volcanic ash
during its eruption. This caused many people living at the foot of the mountain
to suffer from respiratory problems.
Zaenab : If only the mountain had not erupted again two days ago, their condition would
not have been so bad.
Markus : Yes, you’re right. But the good news is that many victims are in good condition
because they have enough food and medicine. This assistance comes from
donations.
Zaenab : That’s the benefit of technology and communication. If there’s news about a
natural disaster in a place, people will quickly know what’s happening there
through a satellite, radio, and TV, as well as the Internet and will send their
donations to the affected place.
 Markus : I completely agree with you.

22. Listen to the recording and decide whether the if-clauses are used as a threat, a

6. If you eat too much sweet food, you may get diabetes.
7. If you don’t pay me now, I’ll get the police onto you.

CHAPTER 4
Friendship Is Like the Holly-Tree
1. Read the following poem with your friend and answer the questions.
The Seasons
Spring is a lovely lady
With flashing eyes of green
Her is decked with flowers
Of growing things she’s Queen

Summer’s a lively school boy

Who loves the sun and surf
And singing, clowning and prancing
Round the campfire on the turf

Autumn’s hair is golden

As the leaves begin to fall
She enjoys the fruit of the harvest
And mellow light over all

Winter’s a sleeping giant

Who slumbers long and deep
With slow but sure awakening
Another year to greet

4. Read the following poem in turns with your partner.

The Little Rose Tree
By Rachel Field

Every rose on the little tree

Is making a different face at me!

Some look surprised when I pass by

And others droop-but they are shy

These two whose heads together press

Tell secrets I could never guess
 Some have their heads thrown back to sing,
And all the buds are listening
I wonder if the gardener knows
Or if he calls each just a rose?

9. Read Robert Browning’s poem carefully and answer the questions that follow.
My Star
By Robert Browning

All that I know

Of a certain star
Is, it can throw
Like the angled star

Now a dart of red

Now a dart of blue
Till my friends have said
They would fain fain see, too
My star that darts the red and the blue!

Then it stops like a bird; like a flower, hang furled:

They must solace themselves with the Saturn above it
What matter to me if their star is a world?
Mine has opened its soul to me; therefore I love it

CHAPTER 5
A Story to Remember
2. Listen to the short story and choose the correct words that you have heard.
A Little Hero

“Oh dear! I wish I could be one of them,” said Tom to himself. He had been reading a
book about knights and heroes, who rode through the woods slaying dragons and setting
beautiful princesses free. “Wouldn’t it have been so much fun to wear a helmet and armour,
carrying a long lance, and riding a splendid horse? But there are no dragons nowadays,
and knights wear black coats like other men. I wish I had lived long ago!”
Tom was just an everyday boy, rather short for his age and somewhat stout. His hair
was red and stiff, and his frank, jolly face was freckled all over. The sun was shining brightly
into the room, and the leaves were peeping shyly and whispering softly, as if to say, “Never
mind about old heroes or wicked dragons! Come out and play.”
Tom jumped from his seat, put on his cap and set off down the road towards the
village, as fast as he could spin the wheels of his bicycle. In the village it was the quietest
hour of the day. Shopkeepers were talking their early tea, and school children had gone off
to play in the fields. There was not a living thing to be seen except, at the far end of the
street, a nursemaid with a pram and a small child trotting by her side.
All at once, away in the distance, along the white road, Tom caught sight of a horse
galloping toward him, as if it was running a race with the wind. There was no rider on its
back. Its eyes were staring, its side was panting, the bit had fallen from its mouth, and the
reins were loose upon its hot neck. Just then the child stepped off the pavement to cross the
street, right in the path of the horse. The nursemaid was looking in at a shop window, and so
didn’t miss the little girl from her side.
The horse was coming closer. If it were not stopped, it would knock down the little
girl. There was nobody to help her, except Tom. Without waiting a moment, the brave lad
rode on at full speed on his bicycle. It was a race now between the run-away horse and the
brave boy; and the boy won. For, just as the horse’s hoofs were coming down upon the little
girl, Tom leaped off his bicycle, and pushed himself in front of her.
The horse turned aside for an instant, then reared and plunged. It knocked Tom
down, and trampled his bicycle as it set off again on its wild race. The nursemaid, who was
now in a great fright, first scolded and then petted the child until she sobbed, but there was
no one to notice the brave boy, who limped home slowly and in pain. His face was hurt, his
clothes were torn, and he dragged his broken bicycle—the bicycle that only a few weeks
before had been new and the pride of his heart.
“It was nothing at all, Mother,” said Tom, when he reached home. “I couldn’t let the
girl be trampled by a run-away horse, could I? Besides, there was nobody else.” This was all
that Tom told his mother. But mothers know many things about their little boys and girls that
the boys and girls do not always care to tell.
Tom did not get a medal for his brave action and there was not a word about it in the
newspaper. That very evening, however, his father took the bicycle to the village to be
mended. As Tom’s mother rubbed his stiff shoulder, and smeared some ointment on his
scratched cheeks, she looked at him with wet eyes. But Tom thought there was a smile not
far behind the tears. Then she smoothed his rough hair with her soft hand, kissed him, and
called him her own dear little hero.

Entrepreneurship seminars three times a year. The first one is in April, the

Man : Unfortunately not. My appointment schedule is very tight and I have to be
back to London on the eighth of May.
Woman : That’s really too bad, sir. Why don’t you overstay just for another night, sir.
Perhaps you can change your mind and attend the seminar till the end. It’s
a wonderful seminar.

Man : May I know who the speaker?

CHAPTER 8
Let Me Give You an Example
1. Listen and choose the pictures that don’t relate to the monologues. Give your
reason.

Text 1 Why don’t you make your stay in London perfect? Just spend the nights at the
Rembrandt Hotel, London. We offer you many hotel facilities, such as free WiFi,
a free full English breakfast, English Darjeeling tea in your room, a swim and
sauna, free newspaper and many others that will make your moments in London
unforgettable. For more information, visit our website at www.sarova-
rembrandthotel.com.

Text 2 Listen, last week I went to a supermarket in my town. It’s a new supermarket.
The supermarket sells various daily needs at reasonable prices. What I like
about this supermarket is the wide range of things they sell, for example, high
quality groceries from independent shops, handmade chocolate to indulge your
taste, buyer protection guaranteed products and fresh and unique food and
beverages.

Text 3 Do you want to take a course but you don’t have enough time to do it? Don’t be
downhearted. ALISON is an on line course that provides over 30 online diploma
and certificate courses, such as business and enterprise skills, digital literacy
and IT skills, language skills, health literacy, financial and economic literacy,
cooking skills and many other courses. Click on the category of your interest and
choose from a range of different courses in that area.

Text 4 Taking the bus is a great way to get around. Buses travel to destinations all over
the Auckland region, all year round – even on public holidays. If you've never
taken a bus around Auckland before, this bus schedule will provide you with the
information you need to know before you go. The bus services in Auckland are
very enjoyable. For instance, there is a space for handicapped passengers, they
provide night ride service for Friday or Saturday night out, the bus fare is
calculated on how far you go, the bus seats are very comfortable, and the
drivers are senior and friendly.

7. Make a short dialogue using the list you have made in Activity 6. This dialogue
is a sample dialogue.

Tuti : What are you thinking about? Is something bothering you?

Indra : My mother is going to celebrate her birthday next week. I’m thinking about
what would be the best gift for her. What do you think, Tuti?
Tuti : There is a range of birthday present choices, for example, flowers,
chocolates, her favourite foods or jewellery. I have a friend running a small
shop that sells really good things suitable for birthdays.
Indra : Are they expensive?
Tuti : No, they are reasonably priced.
 Indra : Sounds like a good idea. Will you come with me to the shop?
Tuti : Yes, I’ll be glad to accompany you.
Indra : Okay, let’s go then.

CHAPTER 9
It Would be Better If
1. Listen to the following text. Fill in the blanks. Then, answer the questions.
A clean and fresh city will surely make the city healthy and pleasant to live in. Every
morning, especially in the dry season, all roads should be watered and swept by the workers
of the regional government under the mayor’s instruction.
Bad habits, such as smoking and throwing rubbish anywhere, which disadvantage
many people, and cause bad smells and dangerous diseases, should be stopped at once.
The Mayor should impose penalties or fines on people who do not comply with the
regulations on cleanliness. For example, a person who doesn’t smoke in a smoking-room or
people who throw rubbish on the roads or in the river, or those who do not dump their
garbage in the proper places, should be fined. Communities should plant enough trees along
the roads. Every building, house or public place should be surrounded by shady trees which
bear colourful flowers.

2. Listen to a monologue and decide whether the statements are True (T) or False (F).
The anti-beggar bill should be put into effect as soon as possible in Indonesia. I say this
because begging makes proper jobs less attractive. The truth is that beggars really make
good money without working hard. Some syndicates are very cruel employing women and
children to beg on the streets or at the traffic lights. Therefore, we should never allow
begging to become a legitimate means of earning a living.

CHAPTER 10
Let’s Sing Hit Songs
1. Find a song entitled “Happiness” and then listen to it. Based on the song, fill in the
blank spaces with the words provided.

Ways to say it
Listen carefully. These are some expressions used to express happiness and
responses to them.
