Track 1.1
Get started, page 7, exercise 1
This summer was amazing. My aunt called me before the holidays and asked me what I was
going to do. She suggested going on a totally spontaneous holiday. She told me that she wasn’t
even going to tell me where we were going. To be honest, this kind of thing isn’t usually my
cup of tea, I prefer to plan ahead.
Anyway, I decided to be flexible and say yes. I’m so glad I did! We had a wonderful time and if
she asks me to do it again, I will definitely say yes!
Track 1.2
I go to the same summer camp every year, but this summer was a bit different. My friends and
I are older now, so the camp director wanted us to be more independent. We stayed in a cabin
and had to do all the cleaning and cooking ourselves!
At first, the cabin was a total mess and we never had any clean clothes! We realised we had to
negotiate a task list with each other. We were all in the same boat, so everyone was open to
helping out.
Track 1.3
This summer I went to a science and technology camp. The people in my group were nice but
we were like chalk and cheese, our personalities were so different! We had nothing in
common, it was awful!
On the first morning, the camp monitor gave us a task. We had to solve a problem together.
Suddenly, we realised that we had a really strong team. We were interested in different things,
but when we brought all our knowledge together, we were able to do anything!

Bohemian, or ‘Boho’ style, includes lots of handcrafted clothes. The garments are often
extravagant and use exotic patterns and textures. The style usually consists of bright colours
and baggy or loose fabrics.
2
Casual dressers are attracted to simplicity and comfort. Jeans and a T-shirt tend to be the
standard uniform of people who like casual clothes. They tend to keep it simple and wear the
same accessories with whatever they have on.
3
Chic clothes are modern, fashionable and comfortable. The style is a statement of quality and
sophistication. These clothes tend to be well-tailored with a timeless, classic design and clean,
straight lines.
4
Streetwear style comes from American surf and skate culture and has been influenced by edgy
styles of music like rock, punk and hip-hop. People who wear this trendy style often wear
graphic T-shirts, ripped jeans and leather jackets. They like hoodies, beanie hats and tight-
fitting, skinny jeans.

Hey Liam! It’s Sam. How are you, mate? Listen, I’m going to my granny’s 80 th birthday party
tomorrow afternoon. We’re having lunch at my aunt’s house. I’m going to the cinema festival
in the school hall afterwards but I’m going to be a bit late. I think I’ll be there about 6 o’clock.
Are you going? Let me know!
2
Oh, it went straight to voicemail… Laura here! Todd and I are meeting at midday on Sunday at
the food truck festival, the one in Lincoln Park. Do you want to come? I will only be able to
hang out for an hour or two… I’m helping my uncle at his hamburger truck in the afternoon.
Get back to me when you can.

Hey there, it’s Kathy. As you know, I’m in charge of the Halloween party on October 25 th at
8pm. Do you think you can come? I’m helping out with the tickets and the music, so I’ll be busy
and won’t have time to dance! But I’d love to see you there! Oh! And remember the venue has
been changed to the community centre. The concert hall was damaged in the storm last week.
Let me know how many tickets you want.

Laura: Hey Anya, how’s it going?
Anya: Laura! It’s going great, thanks. How about you? Your birthday’s coming up, right?
Laura: Yes, it is! In fact, I’m planning a little party… do you want to come?
Anya: I’d love to! Who are you inviting? And when is it?
Laura: It’s the weekend after next, on Saturday. I’m inviting a small group of friends; John, Neil,
Cheryl and you. We’re having a picnic! John and Neil are bringing sandwiches and fruit, and
Cheryl and I are bringing crisps and drinks.
Anya: Sounds great! Oh, but wait… I can’t! I’m playing in a football match that day. Thanks
anyway!
Laura: What a shame! Wait… where do you have the football match? And what time?
Anya: We’re playing in Hyde Park, at two o’clock… I think.
Laura: Really? We’re having the picnic in Hyde Park, too! And we’re meeting at three o´clock.
2
Anya: That’s perfect! I can do both things. But I’ll be a little late for the picnic, as the match will
be over around half past three.
Laura: No problem. Join us when you can.
Track 1.10
Just who do you think you are?
The word ‘teenager’ first appeared in the USA in the 1940s. Before then, you were a child and
then you became an adult. In 1941, high-school enrolments went from 28% in 1920 to 80%
and older children spent more time socialising together and creating their own culture. The US
economy was booming, and these children also had money to spend. Marketers saw a golden
opportunity and created the teenager, a new demographic group with its own unique interests
and style.
Even in the early days, teenagers began to split into 'subcultures': groups that share common
interests, often different to those of the mainstream. Here are some of the most important
subcultures in recent history:
Mods
Mods emerged as a subculture in the UK in the late 1950s, and got their name from their taste
for modern jazz (and later soul, ska and R&B). They were also known for their stylish dress and
motor scooters, and were rivals to the rockers, another influential subculture of the time.
Punks
Punk culture began in the 1970s and was one of the most important artistic movements in the
UK. Punks were anti-authoritarian and wore clothes and hairstyles that reflected this. They
often wore leather clothes and had short, dyed hair. They also invented a fast, simple type of
rock music with political themes.
Hippies
Hippy culture was a movement that started in the 1960s. Hippies rejected materialism and
authority, and opposed war. They embraced spirituality taken from Eastern philosophy and
various other sources. They usually had long hair and wore loose, colourful clothes.
Hipsters
The term ‘hipster’ became popular in the 2000s and refers to people who consider themselves
different (and often superior) to the mainstream. A hipster spends time developing unique
interests and a keen sense of style, favouring the trendiest clothes available at any given time.
These subcultures have helped young people define their identities. Some of the groups are
still present in today’s culture, and you may recognise people you know in them. However, it
seems likely that the future will see a new range of subcultures, even more varied and
fascinating than those that came before.
Track 1.11
Liz: Attention everyone! Attention! Hi everyone and welcome to our October Social Club
meeting. As you know, we are hosting the School Christmas Party in less than two months.
Students love the Christmas Party; it’s very important to them. It’s time to roll up our sleeves
and begin planning!
Rose: I agree, Liz. We need to begin right away. Besides, the budget has been confirmed and I
feel like the money is burning a hole in my pocket! I’m calling my friend Tommy tomorrow.
He’s expensive, but he’s a great DJ. He can also provide decorations for the party. I think we
should buy confetti, and have it fall from the ceiling during the DJ’s last song!
Liz: Slow down Rose! I know you have ants in your pants about the music, but I think we need
to book the venue first. I still think the school hall is the best option. The hotel in the village
can be our plan B. Henry, when are you speaking to the Head Teacher about the hall?
3
Henry: I’m speaking to her about it tomorrow. But I’m nervous. Mrs. Brown makes me shake in
my boots. Rose, will you come with me?
Rose: She scares me too, but sure, I’ll come with you! I’ll ask my Mum to pick us up afterwards.
Liz: That’s great guys! And when the venue is booked, we can start planning the music and
decorations.
Track 1.12
One of the most famous carnivals in the world is celebrated in Italy. The Carnival of Venice is
celebrated every year around February or March, in preparation for Lent and Easter. It is
famous around the world for the creative masks that people wear. There is a ‘most beautiful
mask’ competition, a candle-lit boat parade, concerts and street performances.
Floats are an important part of many carnival parades, but the floats in Venice actually float on
water! Decorated boats known as ‘gondolas’ float along Venice’s canals, filled with people
wearing masks and costumes. Approximately three million tourists travel to the carnival each
year.

In November, Mexicans celebrate a holiday which is called The Day of the Dead. Families visit
their deceased relatives at the cemeteries where they are buried. During the celebrations,
people build altars for the family members that have died. The altars display food and objects
that were important to the deceased person. The altars are also decorated with marigolds,
which are orange flowers with lots of petals.
Track 1.15
People who live in New Orleans celebrate Mardi Gras, a tradition which began in the 1700s.
There are parties and parades with floats, music and dancing. Spectators wear costumes that
are usually purple, green or gold. Bourbon Street is where many people meet to watch the
parade. Local bakeries make ‘King Cake’, which is a circular dessert with a tiny plastic baby
inside. The person who gets the slice with the baby in it must buy the next King Cake.
Track 1.16
May Day is an ancient festival which is celebrated across the world on the 1 st of May. Even
though it’s an international festival, it is most associated with countries in the north of Europe,
like England and Germany, where people still celebrate in the most traditional ways. Dancing
is one of the most important traditional elements of May Day. In England, May Day dancers
can be seen wearing flowers in their hair. They gather together in towns and villages and
perform what is known as the May Pole dance, which involves dancing around a pole in a
circle. Morris dancers are another common sight on May Day. You can differentiate a Morris
dancer because they usually carry bells while they dance. Nowadays, kids and parents are the
ones who most enjoy May Day, as they have a day off school and work!

How true are your country’s stereotypes?

Paul
The stereotypical English person is polite, drinks a lot of tea and eats terrible food. It’s true
that we are all polite. It helps us to get along with each other! But we don’t all have afternoon
tea at five o’clock, as some people believe. I actually prefer coffee – I drink at least four cups a
day! As for the terrible food, I just don’t think that’s true at all. I think there’s a lot of great
food here, and a huge variety. I should know – I’m a food critic!
Melanie
When people think of Australia, they probably imagine a country full of bronzed surfers and
venomous insects. However, I know only two people who surf, even though 85% of our
population lives within 50 km of the coast. And, even though I’ve read that we have 20 of the
world’s 25 most venomous snakes, not to mention spiders, crocodiles and sharks, I’ve never
seen any of them in the wild.
Claire
On the one hand, Irish people have a reputation for being very friendly. But on the other,
people believe we are a bit stuck in the past. I think we are friendly… we’re definitely big
talkers! And we’re great fun… our Saint Patrick’s Day celebrations are world famous! With
regard to being stuck in the past, I completely disagree. In some ways, we are quite traditional
– family is important and Irish folk music is popular. But we also have a reputation for
innovation and technology. A lot of the big social media companies have their European offices
in Ireland!
Bill
Many people believe that all Scots wear kilts, play the bagpipes and are stingy with money. It’s
true that I’m wearing a kilt in this photo. That’s because I’m at a ceilidh, which is a traditional
social event involving music and dancing. You do hear bagpipes in Scotland, but they’re for
specific events and tourists. As far as money goes, I don’t agree at all. In fact, I think my friends
are some of the most generous people you could meet.
Track 1.18
People say the world is getting smaller and we are all becoming very similar. I disagree. In fact,
last year I went to two amazing festivals which were completely different to each other.
In the autumn, I travelled around the USA with my mum and dad. Living out of a suitcase was
hard, but it was worth it. Did you know that there is an International Balloon Festival in
Albuquerque? Albuquerque, that’s spelled A-L-B-U-Q-U-E-R-Q-U-E. My favourite part of the
festival was called Dawn Patrol, an event where lots of hot air balloons take off before sunrise
and stay in the sky until the sun rises and they can find a place to land. I also really enjoyed the
Special Shape Rodeo, which included hot air balloons shaped like animals and cartoon
characters. If you ever go, make sure you travel light. Although it’s a nine-day festival taking
place each October, it’s always hot in New Mexico and there’s a lot of walking. The crowds
make it even hotter. There are usually over 800,000 visitors per year!
Last April, my uncle Tan took me to Thailand for the first time for a festival called Songkran,
that’s S-O-N-G-K-R-A-N. I was one of around 3 million visitors to Thailand for the festival.
Songkran is in April because April 13th is the traditional Thai New Year. My uncle Tan and his
family live in a village in the middle of nowhere. It was amazing to go completely off the
beaten track for a few days. And I loved Songkran! In the morning, people go to temples and
offer food to the Buddhist monks. Songkran is also famous for its water fight! One afternoon,
we went to the main street in the village with our water guns and played for hours and hours.
It was an amazing experience!

Argentinian football player Lionel Messi made his debut in 2004. He has become an icon in the
history of football. When he was a child, he suffered from a growth hormone deficiency. Due
to his height, he learnt to keep the ball on the ground and became known for his unique style.
He has even won the FIFA World Player of the Year award. Despite his success, he has always
been humble and shy.

Will Smith has been a well-known actor for decades. He began his career as a rapper in the
eighties. He won a Grammy Award in 1989, when he was only 20 years old. He became famous
as an actor around thirty years ago. Since then, he has starred in award-winning films such as
Independence Day. His first Oscar nomination was for Best Actor for his role in Ali in 2002. He
has been one of the most recognisable faces in Hollywood for a very long time.
Track 1.26
Timothy William Burton was born on the 25 th of August, 1958 in Burbank, California. He was an
introverted child who was interested in painting, drawing and films.
When he graduated from high school, he went to the Californian Institute of the Arts, and his
work there attracted the attention of Walt Disney Studios. In 1980, he went to work there as
an apprentice animator, but they found his work too dark and frightening for children.
In 1989, he left his comfort zone and accepted the role of director for Batman, but he had
problems with the producers. They wanted Batman to be a masculine all-American hero, but
Burton wanted the character to have a more complex and vulnerable personality. The film
made $100 million in the first 10 days, and it has influenced the superhero genre ever since.
Since then he has directed some of cinema’s most successful fantasy and science fiction films,
including Edward Scissorhands.
Burton’s stories, with their imagination, humour and humanity, appeal to both adult and child
audiences. In the film industry, he is truly one of a kind.
Beyoncé Giselle Knowles was born on the 4 th of September, 1981 in Houston, Texas, and began
performing at an early age. She sang with church choirs throughout her childhood. She also
went to a special high school for the performing arts.
She was only eight years old when she and her friend Kelly Rowland auditioned for a girl band
called Girl’s Tyme. In 1996, they changed their name to Destiny’s Child, and very soon they
became one of the most popular R&B acts of all time.
Around this time, Beyoncé also started a solo career as an artist and an actress. Her first solo
album, Dangerously in Love, was number one in the US charts and has sold over ten million
copies since its release in 2003. Since then, she has sold over 100 million records, appeared in
several big films, introduced a couple of women’s fashion lines and won over 300 awards. She
has also been involved in raising money for disaster relief, job creation and women’s rights,
among other causes.
She has often been called ‘the most powerful female in entertainment’.

Most people enjoy watching films and have a favourite genre, whether it’s horror or romance.
But how are films made? Well, first, the story is created, and the screenplay is written. The
screenplay is the full version of the script with all the directions included. The plot of a film can
come from many places, from true life or a work of literature.
Then the actors for the film, also known as the cast, are chosen. The crew is also selected at
this time. These are the people who work the cameras and choose the actors' costumes and
make-up. Nowadays, the special effects are often created on a computer. Also, dangerous
stunts are usually filmed using motion capture suits and a green screen.

In traditional animation, the pictures are drawn by hand onto plastic sheets. Then, the pictures
are photographed, and the photographs are edited into a film. In modern studios, the images
are created using computer-generated imagery, also known as CGI, or techniques like stop-
motion.
Stop-motion animation is filmed using long camera shots. The camera is stopped, the model is
moved slightly and then the camera is started again. When the recording is finished, the model
looks like it is moving.

Carla here! The last time I went to the cinema it was a disaster! The film I wanted to see was
sold out, so I had to choose one at random. I picked the tickets and waited for my friend Abby.
She was very late, and I was starting to think she was going to let me down, when I saw
someone wearing a panda costume! I had told Abby that I was going to dress up for the
cinema, and she said she would too. She thought I meant to wear a costume! She apologised
for being late and went to the bathroom and took off the costume. The film was awful! People
started to walk out of the cinema because it was so bad. I didn’t have a good time, but poor
Abby had had a terrible day. And she couldn’t even return the costume because she had
thrown away the receipt by mistake!
Track 1.33
One day I was walking down the street and I saw a poster with a big spider on it. I love spiders
and I had bought a pet tarantula a few months before. The poster was an advert for a film
being made in my city and they needed a spider to use in a scene. I sent an email to the
address on the poster and they called me the next day! I arrived early on the day of filming
because they had sent a taxi to my house to pick us up. After they had shot the scene, I went
to pick my Tarantula up and I found her surrounded by a group of famous actors! They all
wanted to hold her, as most of them hadn’t held a tarantula before. It was such an exciting
day!
Track 1.34
I’ve just come back to school after one of the best summers of my life. Back in May, I really
wasn’t sure what I wanted to do. My teacher told me about an apprenticeship at a TV
production company, I applied, and I got the position. She thought I would be interested
because I had done several plays at school and had got quite a bit of praise. Something
amazing happened during the first week of the apprenticeship. I was on set with the camera
operators, sound technicians and director and we were waiting for the actor to arrive to begin
filming an ad. When it was almost time to start shooting, the actor called and said his car had
broken down and that he wouldn’t make it on time. The director was worried and asked us if
we had any ideas. I immediately thought about suggesting myself as a replacement actor, but I
wasn’t sure… I had had a couple of auditions before, but I’d never performed on camera.
Nevertheless, I raised my hands and suggested I give it a try. The director told me to go ahead
and… it went really well! In the past, it had always taken me a few takes to get it right, but that
day we got the ad on the first take! I went on to act in three other ads during the summer and I
have another audition next week. It looks like my dream is coming true!

The eight basic film plots
9
We live in the golden age of the movie franchise. From James Bond, to Harry Potter and Star
Wars. There are sequels, prequels, spin-offs, and remakes. Are we telling the same stories over
and over again? Since the beginning of cinema, we have created films that belong to eight
basic plot categories.
1
Good against evil
A hero is confronted by evil and defeats it. They are often an ordinary person who finds inner
strength during their battle against evil, which is usually a villain or some kind of monster.
2
Love story
This one is obvious: two people meet and fall in love. The lovers are often mis-matched –
perhaps one poor and one rich, or each from families or communities in conflict.
3
Overcoming the odds
This plot involves overcoming adversity and achieving success. Films based on sports often
have similar plots; the protagonist usually overcomes adversity to win a competition.
4
Breaking social barriers
This kind of story includes a character who stands up to something wrong in society. In
science-fiction films, the main character is often trying to escape or change a dystopian
scenario.
5
War
These stories revolve around great battles; real, fictional or mythical. Real battles from history
have sometimes been turned into propaganda films, showing one side as heroic and the other
as the enemy. Nowadays, many films deal with the effects of war on soldiers and society in
general.
6
Revenge
In this narrative, the protagonist is wronged by a villain and goes to seek their revenge. It
doesn’t usually end well for the villain, nor sometimes for the protagonist. This plot is quite
common in Westerns and modern action films, and there is usually quite a lot of violence.
7
Coming of age
Here, a young character faces challenges that will help them become an adult. Many of these
films portray an adult looking back at themselves as a child and remembering an event that
helped them come of age.
8
Facing nature
Nature is all powerful, and natural disasters are devastating in these plot lines. Often, a
character must face the harsh realities of the natural world and sometimes, they must escape
or survive. The protagonist often goes through a journey of self-discovery as the plot develops.

My friend Tom and I saw a great comedy last night. It was hilarious! We really laughed our
heads off. Tom didn’t think it was going to be very good, but I decided to watch it anyway
because my brother had recommended it. I’m so glad he did!
2
My sister asked me to watch a horror film with her the other day, even though she knows I
don’t usually want to because they really scare me. And this one was no different. The story
10
really gave me goose bumps. I was so terrified I nearly walked out of the living room a few
times.
3
My friends and I had heard about a really sad drama and we decided to watch it yesterday.
Jenny picked up some popcorn on the way to my house, and we sat down to watch it. I was
shocked… I hadn’t expected to be so moved! About fifteen minutes in, we all burst into tears.
4
I was so bored yesterday. My mate Christine suggested watching an action film she had heard
about. I didn’t think it was going to be very good before we put it on, because action isn’t my
favourite genre. Well, I was so wrong! We were on the edge of our seats the whole time! Ten
out of ten!

We all know that the weather affects how we feel. In general, gloomy weather, when it is grey
and wet, makes us feel tired or sad. Some people even suffer from a condition called Seasonal
Affective Disorder (SAD), which is weather-related depression. One way to help yourself to feel
better in the winter is to go outside. Even if there’s frost on the ground, as long as there’s a bit
of sunshine, you might feel better. Although some people feel sad when the weather is grey,
some people actually feel happier! They enjoy sitting by the fire and watching bad weather,
like hail and sleet, falling outside their window. These people often enjoy showers in the
summer too. The weather also affects our ability to concentrate. If it’s windy or blustery
outside, some people find it more difficult to sit still and focus. Next time you're feeling down
or distracted, ask yourself if the weather could be to blame!
Track 1.39
Good morning listeners! Today is Monday, the 4th of January and here is your NY3 Weather
Forecast. There will be more overcast skies this afternoon. However, it should stay dry, so
don’t worry about the clothes you hung out this morning. You had better make sure to take
your clothes in before tomorrow morning though, as we’re going to have some light drizzle
early in the day. The sunshine will be back in the afternoon. If you have any plans for midweek,
you should probably cancel them. There’s going to be thunder and lightning on both
Wednesday and Thursday, with the most intense storms on Wednesday. Things will clear up
on Friday. We’ll have clear, sunny skies, continuing to Saturday morning and afternoon.
Saturday evening is going to be a very different story however, with heavy downpours
forecast. Finally, Sunday looks like it’ll be dry but blustery, so you might want to wrap up
before heading out. That’s all from us! The next forecast is tonight at 10pm. ‘Till then!

In March 2011, a massive earthquake occurred 24 kilometres under the sea, and about 370
kilometres off the coast of Japan. The earthquake itself was not the problem in this instance.
The tsunami that followed the earthquake was the real natural disaster, taking thousands of
lives, causing billions of dollars of damage and, most dangerously of all, resulting in a very
serious nuclear accident.

In 2008, the world experienced one of the most powerful earthquakes in its history. The
Sichuan province in China was where the disaster was most strongly felt, with reports of
tremors reaching 7.9 on the Richter scale. Aftershocks caused thousands of landslides, which
further complicated the disaster and recovery.

The southern states of the USA have experienced some of the worst effects of climate change.
Because of global warming, extreme weather events are very common in places like Florida,
which was the first state to be hit by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. This hurricane was one of the
worst natural disasters to ever happen in the United States. Many people were never able to
return to their homes.

Reporter: We’re here today in Heathrow Airport to find out how people have been affected by
the recent bad weather. I’ve been chatting to Tim and Dave, who have been to Japan.
Tim and Dave: Hello.
Reporter: So how did the weather affect your holiday?
Tim: Well, we went to Shirakawa-go to go skiing, but in the end we didn’t do any skiing at all! If
only we had gone to the Alps!
Reporter: What happened?
Dave: There was a terrible blizzard, followed by a serious avalanche. We were staying at a
small hotel in the middle of nowhere and, as a result, the hotel owner said we had better not
go outside.
Reporter: Well, I’m sure you’re glad to be home.
Tim: Not quite! We wish we weren’t waiting for our bags. We wish we were skiing in Japan!
Reporter: Thank you for taking the time to talk to us, Tim and Dave. Next we have Kate, who
has been to Indonesia. Good morning Kate and welcome home.
Kate: Hi. I wish I wasn’t home, to be honest.
Reporter: How did the weather affect your holiday?
Kate: Urgh, I went on the ‘holiday of a lifetime’ to Bali, in Indonesia. Unfortunately, I caught
the end of the monsoon season. There were terrible downpours every single day, and many of
the roads were closed due to landslides.
Reporter: Is it still raining in Bali, now?
Kate: That’s the thing! No! It stopped raining yesterday. If only I had waited another week, I
would be on the beach now.
Reporter: And where are you going now?
Kate: I’m waiting for a taxi to take me straight to work. I wish I wasn’t working today. I wish I
was swimming with turtles in Indonesia!

We often find stories of natural disasters causing terrible devastation on the news. Are they
becoming more common? Are we watching climate change in action? Scientists have been
measuring changes in world temperature since around 1880, and the Earth is definitely getting
warmer. Average temperatures have risen in the last hundred years and some of the hottest
years in recorded history have been in the last decade. Most scientists agree that this is having
a serious effect on climates around the world. Heatwaves, wildfires and severe droughts are all
clearly linked to increasing global temperatures. Scientists think that increasing water
temperatures are causing more storms and flooding. The polar ice caps and the world’s
glaciers are melting, too. This is worrying because glaciers provide fresh drinking water for a
large part of the world’s population, and melting ice contributes to rising sea levels. Scientists
have predicted that sea levels could increase by metres in the next few decades, and that
would be an enormous problem for people living in coastal areas. Also, a lot of the ice contains
methane gas. That brings us to the cause of global warming. Methane and other greenhouse
gases escape into the Earth’s atmosphere to cover our planet in a kind of thermal blanket.
Without it, the Earth would be too cold to live on. But greenhouse gas levels are now more
than twice as high as they were two hundred years ago. Some of these gases are natural, but
humans produce a lot too, especially carbon dioxide. We do this when we burn coal, petrol
and natural gas, and when we cut down forests. So, what can we do? Governments around the
world have already banned the use of some greenhouse gases and have made commitments
to try to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This means encouraging renewable energy, more
energy-efficient technologies, better public transport and slowing deforestation. And you can
help, too. By just riding your bike to school, having short showers and putting on a jumper
instead of the heating, you’re already contributing a lot. And importantly, you’re setting an
example for other people to do the same. So, go on – what are you waiting for?

Although millions of newspapers are sold around the world every day, they are becoming less
and less popular. Nowadays, people prefer to watch the news on television or read the news
online. But whatever the form of communication, news stories are presented in very similar
ways.
1
Headline
This is the title of the piece of news. It’s usually written in bold, capital letters at the top of the
story.
2
Byline
This is where the name of the journalist who wrote the story is placed.
3
Front-page article
The most important story of the day is found on the front page of the newspaper or website.
In a printed newspaper, it’s presented in columns.
4
Advert
Newspapers often make most of their money from adverts that promote products, services or
events.
5
Feature article
This is a longer article that is advertised on the front page. Sometimes, feature articles are
deeper investigations of front-page articles.
6
Eye-catching images
This helps to attract readers to the story. Sometimes there is a caption under the image to say
who or what is in the picture.

What’s new in the news?
Sharing gossip about the rich and powerful and spreading lies because they’re more
interesting than the truth: is that what the internet has done to the news today? Actually,
that’s a description of 18th century Paris, where people came from everywhere to sit under a
tree called the ‘Tree of Cracow’, to find out the news. The way we get our news has changed
over the years, but in many ways, social media platforms have taken us back to the ‘Tree of
Cracow’. News stories have been shared throughout history, but when the modern printing
press was invented in the 19th century, the news became a business. Running a newspaper
was very profitable, so newspaper owners could afford to pay journalists to go out and find
stories. Journalists not only told the public about events, but offered expert, balanced analysis,
too. Two other technological developments also changed journalism: the television and the
internet. TV made news more immediate and visual. Viewers became attached to their
favourite newsreaders and families sat down at news hour to watch them. Then came the
internet. Today, thanks to mobile phones and tablets, most people have access to news stories
anywhere and at any time. We can all become citizen journalists by filming, photographing and
reporting what we see. This has made journalism more democratic, but it’s also created a
space for fake news and offensive content. We have created a virtual ‘Tree of Cracow’.
What now then? Well, it seems that a sense of control is coming back to the news. Social
media platforms are taking responsibility for content that is uploaded. There are campaigns to
help people understand the dangers of fake news, and some messaging services are limiting
the number of people you can forward messages to, in order to stop fake news going viral.
Also, many big-name broadcasters are incorporating user-generated content in their news
services. That way, audiences can be involved in providing the news, while professional
journalists control of content choices and presentation. Perhaps in the future, we’ll see citizen
journalists and news professionals working together to give us a full, true and fair picture of
what’s happening in the world.

my driving test while I was at university. I still love driving today! I got a job straight after
university, working for a financial advisor. Now I manage a team of 20 people. I love my job,

Dear Andrea,
I’m really enjoying guitar classes. Last week my teacher had a concert for his students, and it
was really good, but the next day I failed a Maths test at school because I didn’t study.
The thing is, I don’t really like other subjects as much as I like playing the guitar. My teacher
says I’m really good at it and I could become a professional musician. What should I do?
Yours sincerely,
Musical dreamer
Dear Andrea,
I’ve got a friend who I’ve known since I was ten and we’re pretty close. But I’ve realised that
we always do what he wants to do. I didn’t mind so much before, but I’ve started hanging out
with some other people and they’re not like that.
When I invited him to come with us, he was really rude about one of my new friends. What can
I do?
Regards,

Dear Andrea,
I’ve just joined a football team. I like it but I’m not the best in the team, and some of my
teammates don’t pass the ball to me much. Also, when they’re talking about the game, they
don’t really involve me in the conversation. I’ve spoken to the coach about it, but he just said
things will get better. What do you think?
Yours sincerely,
Left out
Dear Troubled,
That sounds like a difficult situation. Some people are more easy-going than others, and it
sounds as if your new friends are like that. Your other friend shouldn’t have been rude about
your new friends, but he might just have been envious. If you want to continue your
friendship, make sure you’re doing what you both want, not just him. Otherwise, it might be
better for you to see more of your new friends.
Andrea
Dear Left out,
17
You may feel alone in the team, but you’re definitely not the only person with this problem.
It’s very common in sporting teams. Your coach should have been more understanding, but I
think he’s probably right. Once you show the team what you can do, you’ll earn their respect
and they’ll involve you more. If not, I’m sure there are lots of other teams you can join that
might be more welcoming.
Andrea
Dear Musical dreamer,
It’s great that you’re doing something you love, but it’s very difficult to make money from
music. You really shouldn’t give up your studies. Think about your future. You know you should
have studied for the test. I think you just need to manage your time a bit better. Then you’ll be
able to study and play the guitar too!

Head teacher: Good afternoon everyone. We’re here to discuss our final year students. I’d like
to begin with you Mr Jones. How are the basketball teams doing? The girls are disappointed
with their performance, aren’t they?
Mr Jones (PE teacher): Yes, they are. I’ve told them there’s no point in crying over spilt milk
and that they will just have to be more committed in training from now on.
Head teacher: Very good. What about you, Mrs Williams? You must have noticed that the final
year students are under pressure.
Mrs Jones (career guidance counsellor): Yes, I have. Some students are stressing out about
which university to choose. I’ve had to tell a few of them that they are making a mountain out
of a molehill. There’s still plenty of time to make decisions, isn’t there?
Mr Jones (PE teacher): I’ve also noticed some stress. Between sports and exams, I think a few
students might have bitten off more than they can chew. I advised them to write down all their
tasks and organise them into a weekly schedule.
Mrs Williams (career guidance counsellor): Jessica Flynn showed me her weekly schedule when
she came to discuss the degree she wants to study next year. She is determined to study
physics, but she’s not very good at Maths. I told her not to put all her eggs in one basket.
Head teacher: Alright, thank you all for your time. Let’s get together again next week.

Success is a difficult idea to define. Some people want to be rich and famous. Other people
wish they were living in an exotic place. And others simply wish they were happy. Dreams and
goals motivate us, although sometimes we struggle and feel like giving up. Sometimes, we
don’t take advantage of opportunities because we don’t believe in ourselves. To overcome the
obstacles we face, we need determination and friends and family that support us. You will
never regret trying hard to do something, but sometimes you might think ‘I wish I had tried
harder’!

I’ve been concerned about everything lately! But worrying about things doesn’t motivate me
to take action.
Emily: I think you need to find a reason to study… you need to think of something that
motivates you. Think about what job you’d like to do when you’re older, and how this exam
will help you to achieve that, for example.

This is the advice my uncle gave me. Every challenge that you face involves some risk. You
know that you might be successful, or you might fail. The key is to identify three things; 1) a
target, 2) a strategy, and 3) your inspiration. Your target is your goal, the result that you will
focus on. Next, you should have a strategy, or plan, so you can measure your progress. Finally,
your inspiration is the thing that gives you motivation, or ‘drive’. If you can identify these three
things, you will be unstoppable!

Mindfulness
Do you find yourself worrying about things or wishing that you had done things differently?
Although it’s useful to learn from our mistakes and prepare ourselves for the future, most of us
spend too much time thinking about things that we cannot change. That isn’t helpful and can
lead to stress and even more serious problems. Research shows that when our minds wander
away from what we’re doing at the moment, we become stressed or unhappy. And for most of
us, our minds are wandering about half of the time we’re awake.
That is where mindfulness comes in.
‘Mindfulness’ simply means ‘focused attention’, and it comes from Eastern spiritual traditions
that have been adopted into Western psychology. It is essentially a range of techniques to
bring one’s attention to the present. The man credited with making it popular is Jon Kabat-
Zinn, an American professor of medicine at the University of Massachusetts. He set up a very
successful clinic for mindfulness-based stress reduction at the university, and he also
developed the technique of Mindful Yoga. Programmes like his are now used all over the world
in schools, workplaces, hospitals and prisons, among other places.
So what are these techniques?
Most involve meditation. First you sit straight on a chair or on the floor and close your eyes.
Then there are different things you can do. One is to focus on your breathing. You don’t try to
control it, just notice your breath going in and out of your body. Another is the body scan. You
focus on the top of your head and notice any sensations you feel there – heat or cold, an itch,
pressure, discomfort, etc. Then you move your attention down your body bit by bit until you
reach your feet. If you try these techniques, you’ll probably find that it’s quite hard to sit still
and stay focused. Your mind will wander, and you might feel bored or uncomfortable. But
don’t be hard on yourself. It takes practice!
What are the benefits?
There are many. There is more and more research to suggest that it can help reduce anxiety,
depression and pain, as well as improving perception and creativity. There is even evidence
that it causes physical changes in parts of the brain that regulate emotion, learning and
memory. So why not give it a go? After all, if you decide it’s not for you, you’ll have lost
nothing but a little bit of time.

Hi guys. It’s Jessica here! I wish I had discovered my passion for technology years ago. I’m

eat, sleep and breathe the project. In fact, I’m not really interested in going to university. I’d
like to set up a technology business, but my Dad says I should hold my horses. He never went
to university and he says he wishes he had. My sister says I should go to university because I
will have lots of opportunities for personal growth. I like this idea. In fact, I recently read
philosophies of success from the Eastern world usually focus on personal growth. However,
philosophies of success from the Western world usually focus on material goods.

Recently, I’ve been a bit stressed out about my exams. I’ve been focusing on my future career

Jenna: Do you think we’d still be friends if we were all rich and famous?
Lloyd: Of course we would!

Guinness World Records
In 1951, Sir Hugh Beaver, the managing director of the Guinness beer company in Ireland, got
involved in an argument over which was the fastest game bird in Europe. It wasn’t possible to
find the answer in any existing reference book, and Beaver thought that if there were a book
about records, people would enjoy reading it.
Beaver asked twin brother journalists Norris and Ross McWhirter to start collecting interesting
records, and the first edition of the Guinness Book of Records went on sale in 1954. It was a
spectacular success, going to number one on the bestseller lists at Christmas. It is now called
the Guinness World Records, and it has also developed into a much bigger franchise. There
have been TV shows, museums, a special International Guinness World Records Day and
various spin-offs. There is also a website that contains more records from their database of
over 40,000, as well as instructions on how to apply to set or break a record yourself. The
records cover a wide range of topics such as the human body, the natural world and
technology, among others. There are classic entries like the tallest ever human (Robert
Wadlow – 2.72m), the most venomous animal in the world (the box jellyfish, which can kill a
human in 2 seconds) and the furthest celestial body you can see with the naked eye (the
Andromeda galaxy – 2.25 million light years away). As photography has become more
important, the book has contained some amazing, if strange, images: for example, the longest
moustache, the heaviest pumpkin and the cat with the longest tail. Interest in people’s
achievements has increased. We have always been fascinated by the fastest runners, the
highest jumpers, the Olympians with the most gold medals. But now people are looking for
original ways to get into the book and recent records include the fastest bog snorkeller, the
biggest rock, paper, scissors tournament and the longest surf by a dog. People are so
enthusiastic to find unusual records to break, that the organisers have to reject some attempts
because of the dangers involved. Oh, and in answer to Sir Hugh Beaver’s original question, the
fastest game bird in Europe is the golden plover

Unit 9, Page 89 exercise 3
Simon here! Gymnastics is one of the most demanding sports in the world, it requires a lot of
focus. Training five days a week is hard, but I can’t drop the ball. I’ve got a competition next
month and I hope to get a bronze or silver medal.
Core strength is everything in skateboarding. It’s a great sport, but people don’t take it
seriously. My dad is always saying: “Kate, if you want people to take you seriously, get their
attention!”. So, my friends and I are going to ask the local council to build a skatepark in our
town. We’ve organised a petition. We just need some volunteers to get the ball rolling.
Hi everyone! My name is Lydia. I’m really into skiing, and next November I have the chance to
go and compete in the Alps. However, it costs a lot of money and takes a lot of dedication, so
this summer, I’m going to save every penny I earn from my part-time job. Saving is hard but I
have to keep my eye on the ball. If I didn’t have a part-time job, I couldn’t afford to go!
A few friends have asked me to teach them to breakdance. And others get shy when I even
mention breakdancing: “No, Tom, I’ll be terrible at it!”. But it’s simple! When the other person
has finished dancing, the ball is in your court, and you start. All you really need is confidence.

1 What is Lucas wearing to the party?
23
Girl: Hi Lucas. I love that brown hat! It’s classic. It really suits you.
Boy: Thanks! My uncle gave it to me for my birthday. It used to belong to him.
Girl: What are you wearing to Ray’s party? You could wear that hat!
Boy: It’s cool but I’m wearing this plain cap. I’m going to write a message on it to make it more
edgy.
Girl: How trendy!
Boy: What are you wearing?
Girl: I’m not sure… Oh, I know! I’m wearing my baggy jeans. They’re casual and comfortable!
2 Where is Karen going on Saturday afternoon?

Boy: Hey Karen. Is that a new haircut? It looks great!
Girl: Yes, I went to the hairdresser’s yesterday.
Boy: Are you coming to the second-hand clothes market on Saturday?
Girl: That sounds great! I’d love to buy a dress.
Boy: They have a lot of vintage clothes. It’s the best place to buy them, and they’re cheap too.
Girl: Cool! What time are you meeting?
Boy: We’re meeting at 3 o’clock.
Girl: Oh no! I can’t come… I’m playing football then.
3 What time are Simon and Anna meeting?

Boy: Hi Anna. How’s it going? Are you doing anything tomorrow night?
Girl: Hey Simon. No, I’m not doing anything. Why?
Boy: Do you want to come to a talk about advertising and fashion?
Girl: Yes! That sounds really interesting.
Boy: My teacher, Mrs Green, is giving it.
Girl: Oh, I have her on Tuesdays at 3 o’clock. She’s brilliant.
Boy: The talk starts at 6 o’clock. I’m meeting Lisa an hour before at 5 o’clock for a smoothie. Do
you want to meet us then too?
Girl: Yes, great! See you tomorrow.
4 Which of the items belongs to Delia’s grandmother?

Boy: Look Delia! These glasses are really unusual. Are they your mum’s?
Girl: No, they are my grandmother’s. She wore them in the 60s. I’m wearing them this
summer!
Boy: Wow. How cool! Are these her earrings too?
Girl: No, they’re my mum’s. They were a present from my dad. He gave them to her for their
anniversary.
Boy: Were these high heel shoes your grandmother’s?
Girl: I think they are my auntie’s. They don’t look very comfortable!

Lucia: Hello. Could you tell me what your name is?
Boy: I’m Mike.
Lucia: Can you tell me what your favourite celebration is?
Boy: OK. So, it doesn’t have floats and there aren’t any jugglers… but I love Pancake Day!
Lucia: Could you explain what you do on this day?
Boy: In my house we have a pancake-making competition!
Lucia: Can you tell me what you like about it?
Boy: Well, the pancakes are delicious. I love mine with lemon and sugar. But I guess my
favourite thing is spending time with my family and having fun together.

Lucia: Hi. What’s your name?
Girl: Susie.
Lucia: Could you tell me what celebrations there are in the UK?
Girl: Well, I love the Notting Hill Carnival. It’s a big street festival in London, where people wear
fantastic costumes and dance to music. My family go every year in August. My dad always
complains about how crowded it is. There are a lot of spectators… but I think it’s great fun –
everybody enjoys themselves!
Lucia: Can you tell me if you are wearing a costume to the carnival this year?
Girl: Yes! I’m making a mask and a headdress made of pink and blue feathers. And I’m
practising walking on stilts too!

Lucia: Hi, Can you tell me what your name is?
Carla: I’m Carla.
Lucia: Could you tell me if you’re going to any celebrations this year?
Carla: Yes, I’m going to a May Day celebration. I want to see the Morris dancers. They’re
amazing! They wear costumes with bells on, and dance together. Afterwards, there’s a parade
with a marching band.
Lucia: Can you tell me what you are doing in the celebration?
Carla: I’m usually a spectator that throws confetti, but this year I’ve been taking classes in
Morris dancing. So this May, I’m going to take part in the dancing!

Lucia: Hi. Can you tell me what your name is?
Boy: It’s Rob.
Lucia: Can you tell me about an unusual celebration?
Boy: My grandma comes from a small village where there is a Cheese Rolling festival. Do you
know what that is?
Lucia: No, do people eat cheese?
Boy: It’s a festival where people run down a hill, trying to catch a rolling wheel of cheese! It’s
crazy! There are a lot of spectators. People who live all over the world come to watch. My
grandma really enjoys watching it, but it isn’t very safe. A lot of the runners fall over and get
injured. Spectators can even get hurt by the cheese because it’s moving so fast!
Track 2.38
I have always been interested in how things are constructed. When I was at school, I was good
at Art and Science. I thought I was terrible at Maths. It was my dream to become an architect. I
knew that I needed Maths to do a degree in architecture.
I talked to my parents. They didn’t have much money, but they paid for a private Maths tutor
once a week, on Saturday mornings. It turned out that I wasn’t bad at Maths at all! The tutor
was great. I had classes for two months and she gave me a lot of confidence.
I went to university to do a degree in architecture. The course took five years to complete. I
loved it and I learnt a lot. I became aware of many international styles of architecture. I
graduated six years ago, and I came top of my class!
All my life, I have been interested in looking after the planet and protecting the environment. I
started an apprenticeship with a group of architects, designing and building environmentally
25
friendly houses. In the second year of my apprenticeship, we won an award. It was a real
honour to go to the award ceremony. Some of the best modern architects in the world were
there.
I started working as an architect three years ago. I have had my own company since last
summer. It hasn’t been easy, but it has been an amazing experience. I have designed many
beautiful houses, including my own, which I built two years ago. If you believe in yourself, you
can achieve your dreams!
Track 2.39
Woman (interviewer): I’m talking to young director Steve Smith, who has made a short film.
Can you tell us why you made a film, Steve?
Steve: Well, I’m very imaginative. I have always written a lot of stories. My mum is a director
and she had a camera at home, but I hadn’t used it and I hadn’t thought about making a film
before. Last summer, I joined a film club at my school. That’s where it all started. I realised that
a lot of my stories could be made into films.
Woman (interviewer): Can you explain what the film is about?
Steve: Yes. It’s based on a short story I had written about time travel. A girl drops off on the
bus and is transported back in time. When she wakes up everything is different. For example,
in the past there were no mobiles or computers because nobody had invented them yet.
Woman (interviewer): The film really looks like it is set in the past. Where did you find the
costumes and the props?
Steve: The props and the costumes came from my grandparents. They helped me a lot. They
had a lot of old clothes and things from their grandparents, which they had kept for a long
time. The clothes were perfect for the film. And a lot of their old music is played in the film’s
soundtrack, too.
Woman (interviewer): Can you tell us about the cast?
Steve: Most of the actors are friends from school. The main actor, Mia, is a friend from film
club. Before I made the film, she had talked a lot about being an actor. She showed me some
short films she had acted in. I thought she was brilliant, and I asked her to star in my film.
Some of the scenes in the film are written by Mia.
Woman (interviewer): Where is the film shot?
Steve: Most of the scenes are filmed in an old village in the countryside. The special effects are
done by me on my computer in my bedroom. The film was edited in the computer room at my
school. I hadn’t edited a film before. Mrs Green, who runs the film club, taught me a lot.
Track 2.40
1 What is the weather like now?
Boy: I really wanted to go to the beach today.
Girl: Me too! The weather has been crazy.
Boy: I know! Last night there was hail. Did you hear it? It was really noisy! And I saw on the
weather report this morning that there might be a storm tomorrow, with thunder and
lightning.
Girl: So, we might not go to the beach tomorrow either…
Boy: I wish it wasn’t raining.
Girl: It’s just a light drizzle. It could stop soon, and the sun might come out.
2 What might the weather be like tomorrow?
Man: Today is blustery with temperatures of 14 degrees. The wind might get stronger this
afternoon. It will also be gloomy and overcast and it could rain, so you had better take an
umbrella if you’re going out. Things should clear up during the night, and tomorrow morning
26
we could have lovely clear skies and sunshine. On Wednesday there could be some showers…
3 Why had people better leave the town?
Woman: This is an emergency announcement about extreme weather conditions. Even though
it’s actually tornado season, a big storm, Hurricane Bessie, has formed over the ocean. The
good news is that it’s moving North and experts think it should miss the town. However, a
tsunami has been seen forming out at sea. It could hit the town tomorrow morning. Everybody
should pack basic items and prepare to leave their homes. Rescue services are waiting to
transport people to safety.
4 What could happen this summer?
Boy: If only it wasn’t raining. We have a football game this afternoon.
Girl: I know. I think it’s good that it’s raining though. Remember there was a drought two years
ago.
Boy: Yes, I remember the water shortages. But there could be a flood if it keeps on raining.
Girl: I don’t think so. We need more rain here. I was watching a documentary about forest fires
last night. It said there might be fires this summer. We had better be careful when we go
camping in July.
Track 2.41
Last October, I started making a school magazine with two of my friends. We wanted students
to be more informed about what’s going on at school, and to have a place to share experiences
and ideas. Since October, four magazines have been published and the fifth is coming out next
month.
We didn’t know how to publish it. At first, I liked the idea of a colourful, printed magazine that
students could take home. I like magazines and reading on paper, but then we thought it
would be more environmentally friendly if it was published online.
The paper is designed end edited by us. I write an introduction to the magazine and articles
about what is happening in the school. For example, last month different meals were added to
the canteen menu. And two new computers and a video camera were bought for the IT
department.
There is a section of the magazine for the students to share their ideas. All of the feature
articles here are written by students from the school about their experiences. They are given a
challenging theme to write about for each magazine. The latest one was how to care for the
environment. We try to think of interesting, exciting headlines that catch people’s attention.
The magazine is very popular with the students. About fifty students visit our website every
day, and the magazine is downloaded about twenty times a day. Our theme for the next issue
is how we get the news and learn about things that are happening in the world. We think it’s
an important issue to think about.
Track 2.42
1 Why does Mark think he failed his driving test?
Girl: Hi Mark. You look upset. How did your driving test go?
Boy: I failed. I’m really disappointed with the result. And I studied a lot last week too…
Girl: You arrived on time, didn’t you?
Boy: Yes, I did. I was there ten minutes early. But when I sat down, I couldn’t concentrate. I
think I must have been really stressed.
Girl: Oh dear. That must have been horrible.
2 How do Emily’s parents feel about her choice of degree?

Boy: Hi Emily. I’m excited about going to university in September. You’re going too, aren’t you?
What degree are you doing?
27
Girl: Yes, I am. I’m doing Art. I’m really happy about it but my parents say I should have chosen
Science or Maths. They’re both scientists. They’ve been giving me advice all week. They’re
upset because they don’t know what job I will get with an Art degree.
Boy: But they like your drawings, don’t they? They’re amazing.
Girl: Yeah, they do. I think they expected me to choose art… but they’re still a little
disappointed. Anyway, I think they’re making a mountain out of a molehill.
3 Where do Lizzy’s friends think she’s gone?

Girl: Have you seen Lizzy? You have English class with her today, don’t you?
Boy: Yes, I do. She wasn’t there. I think she might be visiting her grandad today.
Girl: No, she’s going to see him at the weekend. Maybe she’s studying in the library. She has an
exam next week, doesn’t she?
Boy: Yes, I think so. But it’s an English exam so she should have been in English class…
Girl: Oh yes, I remember now! She’s with Mrs Banks, meeting new students who started
school last week. She said Mrs Banks was relying on her.
4 What does Felix say about his first day at band camp?
Girl: How was your first day at band camp, Felix?
Boy: It was fun, and I met lots of new people. Everybody was really nice and friendly to me.
Girl: That’s great. You were nervous, weren’t you?
Boy: Yes, I was. But I talked to lots of people in the end! The only problem is that I was really
tired. I went to bed early, but I was awake all night! I shouldn’t have been worried about it…
Track 2.43
I have always loved football. When I was at school, I played in the girls’ football team. It was
great fun. We were really good but our coach wouldn’t let us play in any competitions. Only
the boys could compete. He said we should play tennis instead. I wish I hadn’t listened to him!
I was determined to be a football player when I grew up, but I started to run out of steam. If
you don’t have much support, it can be a struggle. My parents were amazing though. They
have always supported me. We wrote a letter to the school asking them to allow girls to play in
football competitions. They said that if enough girls from other schools were interested, we
could start a girl’s league.
I got together with my friends from football practice and we decided to start an online
campaign to increase opportunities for girls in football. We got a lot of support from other girls
and their families. I think if you ask for help, you can overcome problems! A month later, five
other schools said they were interested, and a girls’ football league was created.
I felt really motivated. I started training every morning and evening with a different football
coach. It made a big difference to how I played. I made a lot of progress. I felt more focused. I
wish I had started training earlier. Our team played in lots of competitions and we were top of
the league!
When I finished school, a local football club asked me to play with them, and I did. It was a
brilliant opportunity. Since then, I haven’t looked back. I’m now a professional football player
and I eat, sleep and breathe football! If you have enough determination, you can achieve
anything.
Track 2.44
Girl (interviewer): I’m talking to Tim Edwards, who started practising martial arts when he was
a teenager. Why did you start doing martial arts, Tim?
Man (Tim): Lots of people choose to learn a martial art so they can defend themselves. I think
that’s important, but for me I started going to judo classes because my mum and dad thought
28
that if I did judo, it would be good exercise. I began going to classes and I loved it. I enjoyed
doing judo with my friends.
Girl (interviewer): If I wanted to start doing judo, what would I need to do?
Man (Tim): Not much. You don’t need to wear protective things like a helmet or knee pads to
do judo safely. A long-sleeved shirt and some loose trousers are all you need, but I always
encourage my students to buy a judo kit to wear in classes. You’re going to fall a lot when you
start, so it’s good to be comfortable.
Girl (interviewer): Can you tell us why you decided to become a martial arts instructor?
Man (Tim): When I finished school, I wanted to continue doing judo. There was a very good
martial arts centre near my house so I asked my parents to pay for classes. They thought it was
a good idea and decided to support me. I continued learning judo and I also learnt to do karate
and taekwondo. I got better and I got my black belt. My karate instructor encouraged me to
train to become an instructor. I hadn’t thought about it before, but that’s what got the ball
rolling.
Girl (interviewer): If I wanted to get a black belt in a martial art, how would I do it?
Man (Tim): A lot of people think that if they do karate for five years, they will get a black belt,
but that’s not how it works. You need to practise doing the martial art regularly and have a
good teacher to guide you. My advice is to work hard, be patient and keep your eye on the
ball. The belt isn’t important. It’s what you learn on the way.
Girl (interviewer): Do you have any plans for the future?
Man (Tim): Yes, I do. One day, if I had the money, I would like to open my own martial arts
school. That’s my dream. I think it’s important to keep learning new things. At the moment,
I’m learning to do tai chi and I love it. I don’t think I’ll ever retire! If I retired, I would try to
become a tai chi master and give classes for free to all my friends!
