Wise up and shop smart!.
I1 has happened to most of us. You buy something such
111 11'-"--' as a video camera. You gel it home, take it out of the
box and try 10 turn it on. It doesn't work. You take it
back to the shop you bought it from , bullhey refuse to
give you a refund. What are your consumer rights?
Most people have no idea and many shops count on
this to lake advantage of them. So what are you waiting
for? Become a smart shopper and learn your rights!
I "en If you change your mind about an item and want your
money back, you can get it! Under the UK Sale of
Goods Act 1979, all shoppers are entitled to reject an
item that is not of 'satisfactory quality'. TIming plays an
important role in what you are entitled to. If you still
have your receipt, you can usually get a full refund
within four weeks from the date of purchase. After this
timeframe however, you are not entitled to a refund
unless the item is faulty or fails to last a reasonable
length of time.
According to the Sale of Goods Act 1979, a product
must not only be satisfactory in quality, but also as
described. That is to say if a package or sales assistant
claims something about a product then it must be true,
otherwise it is considered defective. For example, if a
DVD player claims to play all types of DVDs but you
discover that it doesn'l, then you have the right to a full
refund.
Many shops claim they have a "no refunds policy~ and
will offer shop credit instead. This however has no
actual legal standing and the law cancels out any
shop's poticy. It doesn't matter how many notices are
put on display. Il's up to the consumer to decide

whether they want shop credit or their money back.
ITIJ When most people buy an item abroad and it turns out
to be faulty, they think that there is little they can do
about it. However, if the item was purchased by credit
card and cost over £100 then UK customers have the
righlto make a claim against their card company. This
right is detailed under the Consumer Credit Act 1974,
which holds the card company partially liable for any
breaches of contract between the trader and consumer.
So, the next time you're on holiday. bear this in mind.
[!IJ Some shops will try to direct you to the manufacturer of
an item when it turns out to be faulty. But under the law,
your sales agreement is with the shop, nol the
manufacturer. Therefore, the shop must honour the
refund. If the shop refuses, contact the manager and
explain your rights. Most likely, they will return your
money once they realise that you know your rights. So
now that you are an informed consumer you have
nothing to fear! You can shop easily knowing you are
protected. Happy shopping!

building materials. The homes are self·sufficient with solar panels and wind turbines
to generate electricity. They also have rainwater collection systems and a constant
inside temperature that allows reSidents to grow a small vegetable and fruit garden
indoors. All these design factors contribute to the total independence of the home by
using natural resources. By providing their own power and water, operation costs of
these earthships are low with little to no utility bills. Building materials are also
inexpensive, making these homes affordable for everyone.
Trained as an architect, Michael responded to concerns back in the 1970s about the
ever increasing rubbish problem and environmental crisis by building sustainable
homes out of the rubbish. 'Thirty five years ago I saw darl\ clouds on the horizon ...
Lots of people also saw the environmental crisis coming but weren't inspired to do
anything. They thought I was a fool gOing to the dump and recycling rubbish before
recycling even existed.' Michael says, looking back. Well, no one is laughing at him
anymore. After years of being snubbed by the arcMecturaJ community and battling
outdated building laws, Michael's work is now being taken very seriously. He started
with building homes for himself and like·minded people in New Mexico. The owners
appreciated the homes and understood their importance but publicly they were still
seen as radicals. The value of Michaers work came into the spotlight when he and his
team were invited to the tsunami hit area of the Bay of Bengal in 2004. Michael and his
team passed on their knowledge to the desperate people there while at the same time
building several critical shelters with the tons of rubbish left behind from the disaster.
This provided Michael with the opportunity to experiment and create some of his most
inspired designs while not being restricted by building regulations. The homes are
have visited other disaster areas to help rebuild communities including areas hit by
I)urricane Katrina and more recently the earthquake in Haiti in 2010. As word catches
on, his designs have spread to every corner of the globe. Michael has even created a
name for his type of work, 'bioteclure' to describe the deSigning of buildings with the
goal of sustainability. According 10 Michael it's a sort of 'combination of biology and
architecture' that addresses a number of serious problems now facing mankind.
When rubbish becomes the building material, less waste goes to over-burdened
landfill sites.
Shortages of water and energy are eased when households create their own supply.
Michael calls himself and others working like him' biotects' and sees their creations
not just as homes but as an anemative way of
living. "Earthships are amodel of the future
that goes beyond house and architecture,·
he explains. Residents become an active
part of their local ecosystem, living
hand in hand with nature and not
just consuming it. It's a
sustainable way of Hving
that this warrior will
continue to fight for.

In the darK of the night on the 14th April, .1912 the

Titanic struck an iceberg. As the ship sank, 1\ sent out
a distreSs signal using Morse code. The code, sent by
radio consisted of long and short sound pulses that appear
p~per as dots and dashes. The Titanic's message was
~~mediately received, but unfortunately it took h~~rs for a
rescue boat 10 reach the sinking ship. St~n, the effiCiency of
Morse code undoubtedly saved many lives on that fatefu~
da In Morse code, each letter of the alphabet an
nu~bers are represented by the pattern of short and long
pulses. Whether sent by sound, light or sy~bols on paper
Morse code even today is a quick and effective way to sen d
C A lone boat is spotted in a harbour by a large ship. Two
coloured flags with shapes on them are flying high above the
boat. Upon seeing the flags, the captain of the ship immediately
knows a man ~~s fallen overboard and sends help. Flags like these
are called maritime flags and are used for communication at sea.
There is a flag representing each letter of the alphabet and the
numbers. Ships can use the flags to spell out words or combine
the two to create a specific message. The meaning of the
message is determined by where and when the message is sent.

High above the Rocky Mountains. puffs of
smoke from a fire rise up in the air forming
spirals. Circles, lines and pattems. The fire belongs
to an Native American tribe. However, it is not
intended for warmth or cooking. but rather to
communicate a message to other tribe members.
Indians used smoke signals created in a 'fire bOwl'
to send a variety of messages. These were large
saucer-Shaped vessels that' were dug into the soil
at high altitudes, making the smoke signal Clearly
visible over long distances. The Signals created
were commonly used to alert allies of approaching
danger, or to call fellow tribesmen to a meeting.
Each tribe had their own signalling system to keep
their messages private from their enemies.
Cl) The sound of tribal drumming booms across the African plains.
Many miles away, a villager is listening intently to the beat. He drums
enthusiastically in response. This drumming is the most elaborate
form of primitive communication. Due to the fact that the language
used by some Nigerian tribes is tonal (each syllable of a word contains
either a high, middle or low pitch), drumming can be used to imitate
the spoken word. Using this method, complex messages can be sent
and understood by villages up to 30km away! Since drums are
considered to be a symbol of power in West Africa, only the most
skilled drummers are employed for this role. This esteemed ability is
often passed down from father to son, and earns the musician great
respect among the tribal community. Of course, drumming is also an
integral part of African culture, and besides communication, plays an
important role in ceremonies and celebrations.

menacingly at their audience. This is obviously no ordinary
show; in fact there is no show quite like traditional 'sing sing'
dances from one of the hundreds of tribes of Papua Ne\v
GI.Iinea.
fifty rears ago, a visitor would have a lot to fear from one of
these tribal groups who often attacked and killed other rival
~JOups. Nowadays, however, these groups have left their
iKlstilities in the paSI and now celebrate their cultural
differences through music, song and dance at a variety of
held throughout Papua Ne\v Guinea.
• used to be that these gatherings were an opportunity to
celebrate marriages, trade useful items or reduce tensions
between enemy tribes. Today, 'sing sing' celebrations such as
one held in Mount Hagen deep in the mountains of Papua
Guinea attract hundreds of tribal groups. Tribal groups
&om all over the country, many of them on fOOl, journey
1.'1lU!lh the dense jungle of the mountains to the town of
Hagan to take part in the 'sing sing' show. The Mount
show is the equivalent to a large dance competition
performing 'sing sing' dances for prize money, a
to show off their ancestral heritage, but most of all for
that first prize at this show brings to the tribe.
Iijtho,gh the show brings 10 local crowd s of more than 50,000,
few tourists attend the event due to its remote location.
The purpose of the shows is
A to avoid conflict between rival tribes.
B to celebrate marriages between tribes.
( to honour each tribes' cultural identity.
o to share and trade valuable goods.
2 The main reason many tribes attend the Mount Hagen show is
A for the prize money.
B for the prestige of winning.
( to show off their cultural history.
o to perform in front of large crowds.
3 The Mount Hagan Show is not a tourist attractio n beca use
A it is difficult to get to.
B it is not promoted abroad.
( it is un known to tourists.
o locals don't want tourists there.
Recently, these 'sing sing' shows are being promoted outside
the country and many tourists are becoming aware of these
unique cultural gatherings. In the past locals preferred Ihat
tourists did not attend, but slowly they are becoming more
open to foreign audiences.
Those who are privileged enough to be part of the audience at
the Mount Hagen show are in for an incredible cultural journey.
Over the course of two days more than 50 cultural groups take
to a muddy field 10 perform their unique 'sing sing' dances.
Tribesmen like the Huli Wigmen with colourful painted bodies
and faces and wearing elaborate headdresses (wigs) made of
exotic feathers parade out onto the field. To the sound of
beating drums, the Huli Wigmen begin to sway in their loog
grass skirts as they perform their traditional bird dance in
honour of the famous birds of paradise found in the highlands
of Iheir terrilOf)'. Other tribes such as the Asaro Mudmen,
wearing huge mud masks and shaking fierce weapons, perform
silent dances once used to terri fy their enemies. Other dances
act oul tribal stories with the popular Simbu skeleton dancers
performing an attack on a magical beast.
As group after group perform, the field becomes alive with
music, colour and tantalising dances. Even after the formal
competition has ended, Ihe dancing and singing continues for
hours as the groups continue to celebrate with the sounds of
chanting and drums. And although the field is an obvious
mixture of different cultures with different beliefs, there is a
sense of community amid thi s colourful gathering.
4 The Huli Wig men performance
A doesn't include music.
B is based on a mythical story.
( celebrates a local animal.
o demonstrates a wartime dance.
5 According to the text, the Mount
Hagan show ends
A with an understanding of the
different cu ltural bel iefs.
B with in dividual cultura l groups

( with the creation of a new

t a present bare infinitive, they refer to an incomplete
action or state (i.e. present or future). You should tell
them the truth. When followed by a perfect bare infinitive,

d
;ObtigationlOuty/Necessity (must, have to, should/ought to) I manage/managed to ... )
Must expresses duty/strong obligation to do 5th, and
shows that sth is essential. We generally use must when
the speaker has decided that sth is necessary (i.e.
subjective). If you witness on accident, you must report it to
the police. You must apologise to her for being so rude. (It is
your duty.lYou are obliged to do sth.)
Hove to expresses strong necessity/obligation. We
usually use hove to when somebody other than the speaker
has decided that sth is necessary (i.e. objective). Mum says
that we have to walk the dog every day. (It's necessary.)
Had to is the past form of both must and have to .
Should/Ought to express duty, weak obligation .
You should help your little brother with his homework. (It's
your duty. -less emphatic than must)
!Absence of necessity (don't hove to/don 't need to, needn't) I • Will: He will get 0 promotion. (100% certain)
Don't hove to/Don't need to/Needn't: It isn't necessary to
do 5th in the present/future. You don't hove to work late
today. She doesn 't need to dress formally for the party. He
needn't water the garden today.
Didn't need to/Didn't have to: It wasn't necessary to do
sth. We don't k.now if it was done or not. They didn 't
have to confjrm their re5efllation. (We don't know if they
confirmed it.)
IPermission/Prohibition (can, may, mustn't, can't)
Can/May are used to ask for/ give permission . May is
more formal than con. Con/May I ask you something? Yes,
you can/may. (Is it OK if ... 7)
Musfn't/Can'f: It is forbidden to do sth; it is against the
rulesllaw; you are not allowed to do 5th. You mustn't/
can't drive without wearing your seatbe/r.
1P0ssibility (can, could)
• Can + present infinitive: General/theoretical possibility.
Not usually used for a specific situation. Our teacher can be
quite stric/. (general possibility - it is theoretically possible)
• Could/May/Might + present infinitive: Possibility in a
specific situatIOn. We might go out in the afternoon, so come
in the morning. (It is possible.llt is likely.lPerhapsJ

 Question tags
Question tags are short questions at the end of
statements. They are mainly used in speech when we
want to confirm something (falling intonation) or when
we want to find out if something is true or not (rising
intonation).
Question tags are formed with an auxiliary verb and the
appropriate subject pronoun . They take the same
auxiliary as in the statement, or, if there isn't an auxiliary
in the statement. they take do/ does (present simple) or
did (past simple), Will plays hockey, doesn 't he?
After affirmative statemen ts, we use a negative question
tag and after negative statements, we use a positive
question tag. Andrew is allergic to seafood. isn't he? They
haven't given you an answer. have they?
When the sentence contains a word with a negative
meaning such as never, hardly, seldom or rarely, the
question tag is positive. Pam never goes to the opera, does
she?
Note: · let's has the tag shall we?
Let's have some coffee, shall we?
• Let me/him has the tag will you/won't you?
Let me explain, will you/won 't you?
• I have (possess) has the tag haven 't I?
BUT I have (used idiomatically) has the tag
don 't Il
They have a boat, haven't they?
She has dinner with her friends every Sawrday, doesn't
she?
This/Thot is has the tag isn't it?
That's Sam's bike, isn 't it?
• / am has the tag aren'tllI am late, aren 't1?
• A positive imperative has the question tag will/
won't? Stop complaining, will/won't you?
• A negative imperative has the question tag will
you? Don 't dri.'e so fast, will you?
• to emphasise the subject or the object of a sentence.
Cindy drew this picture herself. (Cindy drew the picture. No
one else drew it.)
Bob was congratulated by the president himself. (The
president congratulated Bob, not someone else.)
Notes:· We do not normally use reflexive pronouns with
the verbs concentrate, feel, meet, and re/ox . If you
don't feel well, go home. (NOT: jf yolJ dofl'f ~lyOlJfH!/f
wel/90 home,)
• Reflexive pronouns are used with the verbs dress ,
wash , and shave when we want to show that
someone did something with a lot of effort.
Despire having a broken arm, Ron managed ro dress
himself.
Questions tags
13 Underline the correct question tag.
1 Don 't sit there, will you/don't you?

~~:i DogsTrust
The Dogs Trust is a charity-run organisation which
cares for around 16,000 dogs every year. Founded in
1891 by novelist Lady Gertrude Stock, Dogs Trust has
led many campaigns against animal cruelty. The
charity voiced concerns about the cruel treatment of
dogs by railway companies, and also campaigned
against the use of animals in space fUght. The Dogs
Trust is even consulted by the government about
matters concerning pet ownership, and has helped to
implement laws that protect animal welfare. With 17
nationwide shelters, Dogs Trust workers are always
kept busy! However, saving an animal is just the lirst
step - the ultimate goal is to find them a new home. In
order for their work to continue, funding is essential,
which is why the charity invites those who cannot
adopt a pet to sponsor one instead.

D After being a community worker for many years,
Pansy Jeffery decided to open her own centre for the

number of senior citizens who were suffering from
isolation, loneliness and depression. I had to do
something,' recalls Pansy. The Pepper Pot Centre,
which has just celebrated its 25th birthday, encourages
elderly people to socialise with each other. This
involves taking field trips, organising functions and
simply having fun! While the centre runs mostly on
donations, it does charge a small fee to cover the cost
of its many services. SeTVices include physical therapy
sessions and also a range of classes. Members can
take part in literature classes, art lessons and plenty

 When at last Cavor and I had made an end of eating, the
Selenites linked our hands closely together again, and then
untwisted the chains about our feet and rebound them, so as to
give us a limited freedom of movement. Then they unfastened
the chains about our waist. To do all this they had to handle us
freely, and every now and then one of their odd heads came
down close to my face, or a soft tentacle-hand touched my head
or neck. I don'l remember that I was afraid then or offended by
their proximity. I think that our natural instincts to want creatures
to be like humans led us to imagine that there were human heads
inside their masks. The skin, like everything else, looked bluish,
but that was on account of the light; and it was hard and shiny, in
a rather insect-like fashion, not soft, or moist, or hairy, as an
animal's would be. The Selenite who untied me used his mouth
to help his hands.
'They seem to be releasing us: said Cavor. 'Remember we are
on the moon! Make no sudden movements! '
We remained passive, and the Selenites, having finished their
arrangements, stood back from us, and seemed to be looking at
us. I say seemed to be, because as their eyes were at the side
and not in the fronl, it was difficult to determine the direction in
which they were looking, such as in the case of a hen or a fish.
They conversed with one another in high pitched sounds that
seemed to me impossible to imitate or describe. The door
behind us opened wider, and, glancing over my shoulder, I saw
a large space beyond, in which a little crowd of Selenites were
standing. They seemed a curiously diverse group.
'Do they want us to imitate those sounds?' I asked Cavor.
'I don't think so,' he said .
'It seems to me that they are trying to make us understand
something.'
'I can't make anything of their gestures. Do you notice this one,
who is moving his head like a man with an uncomfortablf!
collar?'
'Let us shake our heads at him.'
We did that, and finding it ineffective, attempted an imitation of
the Selenites' movements. That seemed to interest them. At any
rate they all set up the same movement. But as that seemed to

Martin Webber could hardly believe where he was going as he sat in his
aeroplane seat. It was a 28 hour joumey into the Arctlc Circle, so he had
plenty of time to think. ~ I had no idea about what to expect, but going to
Finland to drive and care for sled dogs was sure to be exciting stuff as
opposed to an easygoing holiday. I just hoped I was up to the challenge. "
Just out of secondary school, Martin was determined to get out of England
and go somewhere completely off the map. His destination was a husky farm
in l apland, Finland. As the gap· year brochure had described, volunteers had
to be prepared to face some physically demanding days in almost unbearable
freezing temperatures for a minimum stay of 3 months. Mhough knowledge
of training dogs was not necessary, it was emphasised that a certain degree
of ease and self·assurance with the dogs was needed to do the job. Martin
was certainly happy he had spent a summer at a survival camp learning
valuable skills that he was sure would help make his experience a lot easier.
After Martin's long joumey and a brief adjustment period, he soon got in to
the routine of starting each day at 5am to feed and care for 93 Siberian husky
dogs. This involved preparing huge buckets of food the night before and
sharing it equally among all the hungry barking huskies. Feeding so many
dogs did take a while, even with several other volunteers helping out. Once
this was done, the next task was to prepare the sleighs for the client's safari
excursions and pick the teams of dogs that would pull them. Deciding which
dogs to put together was harder than it sounded, but fortunately for Martin, he
was only tasked with fetching the chosen dogs.
Martin's accommodation was a small log cabin that he shared with 6 other
people, but at least it was warm inside and located close to where he worked.
However, the hardest part of the job certainly had to be enduring the extreme
outdoor weather conditions and temperatures that were routlnely 20·30
degrees below freezing!
During his free lime Martin had the chance to take part in many different
activities such as canoeing, hiking, skiing and even driving snowmobiles. Yet,
there was one activity thal he never got round to trying and that was ice·
fishing on the frozen lake nearby. It wasn't that he was afraid the ice would
break or that it often took a great deal of patience to catch a fish, it was just
that he would rather spend his time unwinding in the hot thermal springs that
existed in the area.
Martin's tlme volunteering on the husky farm passed quicker than he ever
imagined it would. The skills that he had leamed during the summer survival
camp had certainly come in handy. It had been an exhausting several months
but Martin didn't want to leave. He had formed a close bond with the huskies
and was definitely going to miss them. However, he knew he could look
forward to telling his friends back home about all the amazing experiences
he'd had. It had definitely been a holiday to remember!
