Conversation 1
Interviewer: So, Gina, why are you so
interested in this activity?
Gina: I just love the idea of feeling
as free as a bird. You fly above
everything and wow – the
adrenaline rush as you run and
launch yourself off a mountain
top is just so amazing! I once
took off from the summit of
Mount Olympus in Greece and I
felt like a god.
Interviewer: Have you ever had a bad flight?
Gina: I’m very careful and check all
my equipment and the weather
conditions before I go. So, no,
nothing bad has ever happened
so far.
Conversation 2
Interviewer: Now here we are at the end
of the race and I’m talking to
Liam. Mate, you won. How does
it feel?
Liam: To get down the river with those
obstacles in this time was out
of this world. I know the other
guys well and I’d never beaten
them before. Perhaps I was just
lucky today. It’s my birthday.
Interviewer: Well, congratulations twice over
then.
Conversation 3
Interviewer: John, you look exhausted.
John: Well, to be honest, it pushed me
right to my limit. I was scared
at times, with those really rough
tracks on the hillside. It’s much
more dangerous when you
descend, you know. That’s when
most people fall off. You need
your brakes to be working well
and mine were.

David: Well, I want a replacement battery
Lou: At the shopping centre. Well, the park
just outside, actually. Are you interested
in taking part?
Kiki: Cool. When is it exactly? I can’t do
Saturday - homework and a party. By the
way, would you like to come?
Lou: To help you with the homework?
Kiki: Don’t be silly! I mean to the party. A girl
in my class, Laura, is sixteen. It’s her
birthday party.
Lou: Not Laura Moss?! I’m already invited.
Oh, that reminds me, I have to buy her a
present. Do you have any ideas what to
get?
Kiki: I don’t know – something funny maybe.
Anyway, I’ve got to go. Oh, what about
the skateboarding competition?
Lou: Fortunately, that’s on Sunday afternoon.
Starts at four.
Kiki: Great. So, see you there.
Lou: And at Laura’s. Looks like we’re going
to be seeing a lot of each other this
weekend! Bye for now.

David: I only bought this two months ago

Sarah: I’m afraid it does depend on how

Nick: You’re late again … come in; dinner’s
almost ready. Why did the teacher
keep you back?
Melanie: I was texting on my phone and he
saw me.
Nick: You’re always getting caught!
Melanie: Not that much.
Nick: Yesterday in maths, the day before in
chemistry and in physics.
Melanie: OK Dad! I didn’t know you were
watching me.
Nick: I wasn’t. What’s going to happen?
Melanie: If they catch me again, I’ll have to
give my phone in at the start of every
day.
Nick: Well, say goodbye to your phone

Ben: This morning!
Mario: Oh, really?! So you don’t know where
anything is then?
Ben: No, I haven’t got a clue. I met the
Head of Year and filled in lots of
forms this morning. I’m going to be in
Mr Johnson’s class.
Mario: What options are you taking?
Ben: Geography, technology and business
studies. I really wanted to take history
instead of technology.
Mario: Yeah, you can’t take history and
geography. It’s because of the
timetable. We’ll be in geography
together. The teacher’s really nice but
watch out for his temper.
Ben: Really?
Mario: If you’re not careful he can get a bit
angry. Just do your homework on time
and be careful about how much you
speak. He’s very funny though. OK,
here’s one of the computer rooms.
There are four in total. It’s forbidden
to drink in there. There’s also a ban
on eating in all the other classrooms,
but you can drink in them.

Man: … Just look at homelessness. I don’t

town or city sleeping in the streets, but
officially the number is up by twenty
percent this year. I was in town late last Pete: That’s true, but if we all save energy,

1 Well, as a matter of fact this has been the
hottest summer ever.
2 I take your point, but that’s not due to
global warming.
3 You’re wrong there. The Earth is getting
warmer each year.
4 I’m not sure how true that is, actually. Last
winter was also the coldest in years.
5 That’s true, but climate change means the
weather gets more extreme.
6 I don’t think so. The planet can’t be getting
both hotter and colder.
7 Well, actually it is.
8 That’s not true at all. It doesn’t make any
sense.
9 The point is that it’s very unlikely that
this extreme temperature change is just
natural.

Paula: I don’t know. A million?
Pete: You’re wrong there. It says here it’s
seven and a half million.
Paula: I’m not sure how true that is, actually.
It sounds like a lot to me. Anyway light
bulbs don’t give off dangerous gasses
like cars do.
we cut down on the amount of coal,
oil and gas we use to make electricity.
Paula: I still think it’s very unlikely that
changing one bulb can make such a
difference.

all do a little, it adds up to a lot!

Page 44, Exercise 3
Speaker 1: We film a lot of it in a desert. It
needs to look like America 200
years ago.
Speaker 2: It was a novel originally and then
a film. Then a top composer put
songs and dance routines to it.
Speaker 3: It’s full of zombies! The make-up
is really scary.
Speaker 4: It’s a political crime story.
Viewers will be on the edge of
their seats waiting to see what
happens next.
Track 16
Page 44, Exercise 4
Speaker 1: I’m a costume designer. It’s
amazing to be so creative and
really get into the story. After
six months to a year of filming I
almost feel like I live in the world
we created.
Speaker 2: I’m a director, but not the main
one. I’m called third-assistant
director. Basically, I have to
have a good memory. I have to
remember where all of the extras
were, what they were doing,
wearing, etc. If you see a mistake
in a film, it’s probably my fault.
Speaker 3: I’m a make-up artist. When I get
a film like this I can’t wait to get
started. Horror films, science
fiction films – anything like that
is just brilliant to be a make-up
artist on.
Speaker 4: I’m a best boy electric. We have
to work really long hours when
we get a job but then we can
go months without work. I’m not
sure which is worse. But do I like
my job? Oh, sure – it’s a laugh a
minute …

Speaker 1: Oh Anne, you look amazing in
that costume! You should wear it
every day.
Speaker 2: I agree with you, but perhaps it
might be a good idea to look at
the film.
Speaker 3: Great, that’s your make-up done.
Oh, no, sorry you obviously had
a bad night. Let’s start with the
zombie make-up.
Speaker 4: That’s your decision. You’re in
charge – just tell me what to do.

Page 47, Exercise 2
Speaker 1: The hardest part really is the
coordination. None of our menus
are particularly complicated
to cook but getting everything
ready to take to a location and
then preparing and making
things at the venue with limited
time, space and utensils makes
getting the timing right hard.
Speaker 2: OK, so what should we do first?
Speaker 1: We start with the end of the
meal.
Speaker 2: In other words the desserts?
Speaker 1: That’s correct. They can all be
made now and reheated at the
venue.

this dessert before?
Speaker 2: I’ve seen it made.
Speaker 1: So you’re saying that you’ve
never made it?
Speaker 2: No, not personally.
Speaker 1: OK. The most important part is
the technique, the amounts and
the temperature. Baking is like
a science. Get one thing wrong
and it all goes wrong. Do you
understand what I’m saying?

Speaker 2: Yes, follow the recipe exactly.
Speaker 1: Exactly. OK, take the flour,
cocoa, sugar and butter and mix
it together like this. Add in the
eggs and the milk gradually. Are
you with me?
Speaker 2: Fine, no problems so far.
Speaker 1: OK, it needs to be smooth and
light.
Speaker 2: Like this?
Speaker 1: No lighter.

it like this.

Speaker 1: I was caught by the police for
spraying stuff on a wall, which
you can’t do unless you have
permission. In general, I’d agree
that you shouldn’t damage other
people’s property, but I thought
what I was doing was art and it
made that ugly old wall beautiful.
Speaker 2: So, I find whatever is lying around
in the street and get to work on it
– except when it’s raining. On the
whole, the reaction of the public
to what I create seems to be very
positive. And they see me actually
making my art – if you can call it
art.
Speaker 3: What I did was set up some
speakers in the street and play
some slow old classical music
– generally something by Bach
- and then I’d start dancing to it,
but in a way that was unusual.
I’d do breakdance or jazz-dance
moves that didn’t seem to fit with
the music. Why? Just for fun. I call
it ‘Bach breaks’.
Speaker 4: I put a nice new sofa next to an
iron public bench in my local
park. I wanted to see which
one people would choose to
sit on. The sofa was obviously
more comfortable, but as a rule,
people chose the bench, apart
from children that is. They loved
jumping up and down on the
sofa.

1 I don’t know about you, but with the
exception of the stuff by Hughes, I thought
most of it was pretty dull.
2 On the whole, I must say I liked it, apart
from Alex Bell’s paintings. They were just
average, don’t you think?
3 Well, as a rule I don’t go for all this modern
art. Unless I can see what it is, it doesn’t
move me at all.
4 Apart from the fact that there was no gift
shop or café, I found the whole exhibition
absolutely fantastic.

John: Great last night, wasn’t it? I thought
the guitarist in the last group was
fantastic. Really talented.
Kat: I totally agree. The singer wasn’t all
that good though. I think he wasn’t
confident enough and didn’t really
perform – just stood there with his
eyes closed most of the time.
John: Well, actually, that’s just his style.
Conversation 2
Jane: What about these? Shall I go for the
light blue ones or the black pair?
Petra: As far as I’m concerned, black’s best.
You don’t have to wash them so
often, do you? And I think they make
you look slimmer.
Jane: So do I. I’ll just go and try them on.
Conversation 3
Pete: Isn’t it awful so far? I didn’t expect it
to be so slow from the trailer I saw.
Doug: Neither did I. I suppose the effects
are good, but there’s not much
action so far, is there?
Pete: I totally agree. Let’s hope it’s better
after the break. Shall we get some
popcorn?
Doug: Good idea – and a drink.
Conversation 4
Eva: I don’t believe that you need an
expensive camera. You can get really
good shots with your smartphone.
Georgi: I’m afraid I don’t agree with you
there. Look at these wildlife pictures.
You couldn’t get that sort of quality
without good equipment.
Eva: To be honest, I think it’s more about
being in the right place at the right
time, not carrying around heavy
expensive cameras with all these
different lenses they have.

we take the laptop away at the

Gemma: No.
Martin: They’ve taken that as well then.
By the way, did you back up our
photos on the cloud?
Gemma: Yes. Don’t worry about that. Have
they taken my jewellery?
Martin: Let’s go upstairs and look.
Gemma: They haven’t – that’s strange. They
seem to have taken only electrical
things.
Martin: Look at that.
Gemma: What?
Martin: They’ve taken the twenty pounds
that was in my drawer but left the
500 euros I had in there for our
holiday!
Gemma: That’s really weird. Perhaps they’re
young kids and they’ve never been
abroad.

Narrator: At the age of 13 Waris Dirie knew
her life was about to change.
She had lived with her family
as nomads, travelling with their
camels from place to place in the
Somali desert. But then she was
told that she had to get married
to a man who was old enough to
be her grandfather. She could see
the dull life that was waiting for her
and made the radical and brave
decision to leave.
She went to the capital,
Mogadishu, to stay with relatives,
but they treated her like a servant
and she eventually managed to
escape to London, where she was
at first supported by an uncle who
was the Somali Ambassador. She
learned English and found work
in a fast food shop. It was there
that a photographer saw her by
chance and suggested that she
could become a model. She wasn’t
enthusiastic about this at first,
but took up the offer and quickly
became very much in demand,
appearing on the covers of several
famous fashion magazines and
modelling clothes in London, Paris,
Milan and New York City.
She had great success and wealth,
but this was not enough for Waris.
She wanted to do something about
an issue that was close to her
heart. After an interview she gave
describing her own experience
as a child, she became a United
Nations ambassador, working for
the rights of girls. She wrote a best-
selling autobiography, and a film
based on her life was released in
2009.

made here in the shop?
Mr Jones: Well, some of the ingredients
are provided by me through my

Eric: Thanks, Ellen. I’m sure you mean well,
but I’m not sure of the consequences
of eating this apple.
Ellen: Don’t be silly, Eric. It’s not like we’re
going to be chased out of the garden
for eating the fruit.
Eric: Are you sure? I don’t feel good about
this
Ellen: Sometimes I don’t know why I’m
friends with you. Oh, come on! Take a
risk for once in your life. Have a bite –

cut?
Emi: I’m happy with it long as it is,
actually. I’d just like it dyed. Do 8 I’d suggest a number two – that leaves you

Hairdresser: I think dark red would look
good with your skin colour, yes.
Would you like some highlights
as well?
Emi: I don’t think so. Just all dark
red will be fine.
Conversation 2
Hairdresser: What sort of haircut would you
like?
Don: I’m not sure exactly, but I’d like
something a lot shorter. What
would you recommend?
Hairdresser: I think having the sides and
back short would suit you and
I could leave it a bit longer
on the top. Would you like
something on it afterwards?
Don: What do you suggest?
Hairdresser: I’d choose wax – it makes it
look shinier.
Don: OK. I’ll go for that.
Conversation 3
Hairdresser: How much would you like me
to cut off?
Ben: I have to go to the army next
week, so it has to be short and
tidy. What do you think about
shaving it all off? That’s what I
was thinking.

Hairdresser: I think that’s a bit radical. I’d
suggest a number two – that
leaves you with a quarter of an
inch of hair all over.
Ben: OK. Let’s do that then.
Conversation 4
Hairdresser: What would you like?
Olga: I’d like the fringe shorter and
the back and sides trimmed
too. Would you recommend
wax or gel?
Hairdresser: I don’t think you need either.
You’ve got lovely naturally thick
hair and you don’t need it with
this style. Would you like it
blow-dried though?
Olga: That would be fine.

Page 116, Exercises 3 and 4
1 People’s worlds are going to get smaller
and smaller. In other words, we’re going to
find ourselves living and working in smaller
areas. Cities will become taller rather
than bigger and we will do everything in
a smaller space. We will live, work, shop
and eat all within a short distance of each
other. We will have to do this as our cities
become too crowded for private vehicles.
2 With an increasing population, we will
find that we have to grow and produce
food in ever more creative ways. Urban
farms will become normal – basically,
you’ll live next to and buy direct from the
farmer! And they won’t just be on small
pieces of land. Farms will be built upwards
in tall skyscrapers that will act as huge
greenhouses. Local communities will
depend on these, especially for produce
grown out of season.
B1+
3 People’s houses will generate nearly all
of the energy they need and become
carbon neutral. We will heat our houses
from underground energy and generate
the electricity we need from wind and
solar power, which means we will be less
dependent on big energy firms. The things
we use will also become much more
energy efficient too.
4 More and more people will become
entrepreneurial and start their own
businesses. Technological developments
will mean that many people can make and
sell a much wider range of products than
before, which means people will rely less
on big companies.
Track 44
Page 116, Exercise 5
1 Vertical farming, which is growing products
in a skyscraper, will become more
common.
2 Self-sufficiency, in other words supporting
yourself, will become the norm.
3 Entrepreneurs (that is, people who start
their own businesses) will be more
common.
4 More and more people will live in cities.
This could be problematic or difficult, but
one way cities will cope is by expanding
upwards.

Marc: This one sounds cool. Amy: 34.
Amy: Let me see. Oh, yes. Very cool. Marc: Me too.
Marc: What do you mean?
Amy: It’s a boys’ book. Just look at the cover.
A knight on a horse who looks like he’s
going to war.
Marc: I suppose so.
Amy: Don’t just agree with me. If you like it,
say so.
Marc: OK, I do. Look at the back cover and
read what it says.
Amy: I don’t need to. I know the story. I saw
the film.
Marc: There isn’t just one story. There are lots
of stories. I think you’re not interested
because you don’t like the cover.
Amy: I think it’ll be just like the film was. A
lot of fighting and shouting and that’s
all.
Marc: You won’t know unless you try it.

Amy: I like the setting. It’s a … you know …
a very normal place.
Marc: That’s right. It’s the sort of place where
you don’t expect a crime to happen.
And I think it’s good that the narrator
is a teacher and not a detective.

person.
