(p46) Suggested answer Volunteering means that you give up some of your free time to help other people. It is very important to society. ‘There are a many advantages and benefits. Firstly, you get to meet different people and you can make @ lot of new friends. Secondly, you can learn new skills and do things that you have probably not done before. For example, you can lean how to paint a room or mend furniture. Thirdly, you find ‘out about haw people less fortunate than yourself live. Finally and most importantly, you can do many things to help these people and work to improve their fives, ‘The main disadvantage of volunteering is that you have to give up a lot of your free time, so you cannot go out with your own friends and do things you really enjoy You also have less time to do your homework and other school activities, In conclusion, | think there are many more advantages than disadvantages and | think it is a very useful and important way for young people to spend some of their free time.

In the end, the cathedral authorities decided it had to be demolished. However, they also came up with another idea. To tell us alf about it is Jenny Jones, who works for the information office in Christchurch. Jenny, thanks for coming in. Give us a bit more detait about the problem. Well, after the earthquake, engineers and architects assessed the darnage to the cathedral and decided that the building would have to be demolished and rebuilt. But rebuilding takes time, and this would mean that the citizens of Christchurch would be without a cathedral for many years, The trustees of the cathedral then. came up with an amazing idea. What was that? To build a transitional cathedral, a temporary structure, that can be put up quite quickly. How can it be built quickly? ‘The answer may surprise you. It will be mostly made of cardboard tubes around a wood, steel and concrete structure. Cardboard? You mean the same material we use for boxes and packaging? ‘Yes.

Yours faithfully, Chris Wong D. (p.72) Suggested answer Natural disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis are kiting millions of people every year. We are really lucky to be in Hong Kong because we only have the occasional typhoons and landslides. That is especially why we need to care for those who are Jess lucky than we are. There are many things we can do to help the victims of natural disasters. For example, we can donate unwanted clothes. Many of us buy new clothes just to keep up with the fashion. A lot of our clothes are just left in our wardrobes for years without being worn. Why don’t we donate clothes we no longer wear to charities so that they can distribute our unwanted clothes to people who. do not have clothes to keep themselves warm? Charities such as the Salvation Army will gladiy send our clothes to the needy. Another thing we can do is to donate money. Do not fook down on simply acts such as ouying flags ‘on Flag Days, It doesn’t matter how little we have because every cent counts. Charities can use our donation to buy the resources they need to help others ‘Asthe saying goes, ‘it is more blessed to give than to receive.’ Let us remember how lucky we are and let us do something to help the less fortunate in ‘the world.

Oh, they even go to Covent Garden, My sister told me we can sea lots of street entertainers there. And Peter told us not to miss the street stalls with artists selling their own designs and stuff there, Really? We can surely do some shopping there. Oh, Hove shopping So let's join this day tour so we can have more time to go to other cities or even to Paris. I've always dreamt of going to Paris ‘Well, | don‘t think we'll have time for that, Jane. Don't forget we also have to visit your sister in Cambridge and Uncle Joe in Nottingharn. Yeah, | quess you're right. Let’s just book this day tour first But Peter says we don’t have to book any focal tour until we're in London and he can arrange it for us there. Now, first of all, we have to get our flight tickets. Look, We got this information from Lucky Travel. Which flight do you think we should take? Let's see. Why don’t we take @ morning flight on Tuesday? Ab-huh. That's fine with me. Er, it seems we have two choices here, Thai Airways and Qantas Airways. It’s bestif we leave London in the evening when we come back. You know Peter's coming to see us off at the aisport and i'm sure he has class in the daytime. OK, so Qantas is out. Let's take this one then. Now, what about the hotel? Have you got anything from the Internet? Ah-huh, I've just got this downfoaded.

We agreed to keep our budget low, remember? OK, then. Er, these two are cheaper Which one do you like? This seems better because there is a launderette, so we can get our clothes washed there, But do we really need to use that? We're just staying for about a week and its really cool now in London. | think the washing can wait until we're back Yeah, you may be right. Should we choose a hotel with a swimming pool, so you can have an early morning swim as usual? That's a good idea. And | believe you want the hotel to have Wi-Fi connection. Yes, but only if its free, Jane. And it has to be close to the tube. Fine, this one seems to have got everything we need. Excellent.

To find out why the students are not interested in sports, the school has conducted a survey with them. Complete the table using the information from the conversation and the Data File. Part of the table has already been filled out for you, Speaker 1: | used to play basketball when { was in primary school. | was actually quite good at it, But now | have to spend at least three to four hours every night on my homework. When it's exam or test time, | can be studying for five to six hours after school. At the weekend, | go to tutorial classes, piano lessons and Putonghua classes. | hardly have time to see my friends. 'm often so tired that | preter listening to music to doing sports Speaker 2: i don’t mind doing sports. Actually, | always enjoy playing table tennis, but there are only two tables at school and they're very old and the room where we play it is too dark. Besides, we are not allowed to use them during the weekends. I'd rather go shopping with my friends when I have time. Speaker 3: There aren't any sports centres where | live, We have badminton courts at school, put it takes me more than an hour to go to school, so t'd rather stay at home at the weekend. { can play video games on my NDS alone for hours and hours.

Speaker 5: Speaker 6: Tapescript Narrator: ¥'d love to play on the school football ‘team, but my mum thinks | should spend more time on schoolwork. She makes me go to tutorial classes after class, so | often failed to turn up at practice sessions. Of course, my coach was very unhappy. | can’t blame ‘them, so | decided to quit. So when | have time, | always watch the football matches on TV. The tennis courts are often fully-boaked. ve tried many times and | managed to get 2 court only once. But you know what happened? it was pouring with rain when we started to play. So I've given up trying altogether, Luckily, we have @ really cool video garne centre in the neighbourhood. They have the best games in the world. Everybody goes there. I've made some interesting friends there too. Every week, we have only one PE lesson and there isn't much you can do. There're lots of sports that we like but they are not taught at school, for example, térinis, cycling or ice skating, Hove cycling myself but i only do it a couple of times year. So | really think there isn’t enough time spent on Physical Education, It's a shame, but 'm never bored. I can always chat with my friends on my cell phone. My mum isn’t very happy with that, though. She is always nagging me because | talk on the phone all the time. Omen ‘The principal is tatking with Mrs Alice ‘Au and Mr Timothy Lo about the arrangements for the summer courses. ‘The tables below show the number of students’ responses on what sport courses they would be interested in and what casses will be held this summer. Listen to the conversation and fill in the missing information using the information from the conversation and the Data File. Progressive Engish 3 Second Eaktion) Unit 6 Principal Alice: Principal Timothy: Principal: Alice: Timothy: Principal: Alice: Principal Alice: Principal: Timothy: Principal: Alice: So have we got the results of the survey? What courses do our students want? Yes, 've got the results here. The most popular activity is basketball. Basketbal? | thought they already have basketball in PE lessons. Yes, but we can have it only once in awhile. | want the students to try different kinds of sports, | know some. of them want more of it. They want to do better and practise more. Then we have a very good reason to have a basketball course. We can have it here at school, 1'm afraid we can’t have it here as they are as many as 65 students who are interested. We'll definitely need two courts for that. We can have it at the youth centre on Friday and Timothy will be the coach. What about ten o'clock in the moming, Tim? No, | have my schoo! team practice in the moming, | can do it in the afternoon, though. Mmm, from two to four, perhaps. 2p.m. then, What else can we have? We can have footbali and hip-hop dancing. Hip-hop? Yes, it's most popular with our girls. They have always wanted to try it in PE lessons, but as | don’t know it myself, 1 just can’t teach ther. Maybe we'll talk to the youth centre. Pm sure they can arrange a hip-hop dance tutor for us. Actually, that won't be necessary. We have two very good hip-hop dancers in ‘our school, Ken Chan and May Wong in S7A, We've talked to them and they've agreed to teach their fellow students in the summer, Wonderful. Have you decided on the venue and time as well? ‘They said we can have it on Saturday in our covered playground.© timothy: “Alice Principal: Alice: ~ Principal Timothy Principal: Alice: Principal Alice: Principal: Alice: Principat: Let me put it down here first, Covered playground. Saturday ... what time? From four to six in the afternoon. ‘Until sic? Can it finish a bit earlier? Or maybe we can have it on a weekday, instead? if possible, | want to close the school a bit earlier on Saturday, But Ken Chan and May Wong are doing a summer job and they can’t make it any other time. Mmm, let's keep it that way then. Did you say we'll have a football class as well? ‘Yes, it’s popular with our boys. Our colleague Mr Henry Chan has agreed to run it for us. Since we don’t have a pitch for football, we've booked the Lucky Road Football Pitch every Thursday from five to six-thirty for that purpose. Thursday's fine. But can’t we have it earlier? Say from three to five? tt would be best if students can go home before it gets dark. We thought about that too but Lucky Road Football Pitch is fully-booked in the morning as well as at the weekend But its really hot in the afternoon, so we think it’s the best time for us. Yes, you're right. It is too hot to be running under the su. And it doesn't get really dark until seven or seven-thirty. Good. It seems that you thought about everything when you did the planning What other courses have you got in mind? We would like to have an ice skating lass as well but when we checked with the Happy Mall, they said their sink is too busy in summer for private booking. So we think we may have roller skating instead. Where can we hold roller skating lessons? We don't have any facilities for that. Timothy Principal: Alice: Timothy Principal Alice: Principat Timothy: Principal Alice: Principal: Timothy Principal: We can do it at the youth: centre, They . say they'll have'a new rooin suitable for roller skating. It should be ready in. two weeks’ time and we've booked: two hours every Monday from 1 p.tn for it. Miss Becky Siu has agreed to be the instructor. Good. i'm glad that we have something new for our students. What about cycling? We should have it. it's so environmentally friendly Do our students want cycling? I'm afraid only 18 students have shown an interest in it. But} think if we do a bit of promotion, we should have a better response And the good news is that our former student, Peter Fan, has agreed to be our coach, Peter Fan? Great. I'm sure our students would be thrilled to have a cycling star in Hong Kong as their coach. Have you made arrangements for the class yet? We don’t really need to book the cycling path, And Peter said he's available every Tuesday from seven to nine in the morning Very well. What else? Alice and | also think it would be a good idea for our students to have a swimming class, Very true. I've always wanted them to learn swimming. Its such an important life-saving skill 1’ a shame we don't have a poo! at school t've checked with the Lucky Road Swimrning Pool and the only time available is from ten to eleven-thirty every Friday moming. Let’s take it then, What about the instructor? We've found a very experienced instructor, Mr Howard Lam, for the class. ‘Oh, { know Howard Lam. He's my daughter's swimming instrisctor.[s'that all? Any other courses? | 3in fact, Alice and | are not sure if there should be a yoga class. | believe we can give it a miss as it's not really 0 popular, Only 20 studenis are interested. But yoga is good. I'm all for it because it helps release our students’ stress. The kids have too much stress. It’s what they need and we can do it in our covered playground. Do we have an instructor? ‘Our former student Mandy So is a professional yoga instructor and she said she’s available from nine to ten- thirty in the morning on Thursday or Friday. It can’t be on Friday. It'll clash with the swimming lesson. You're right. Maybe some of them want to join both: So let's have it on Thursday, Well,| think we have enough for our.students to choose from now, Thank-you both for your hard work, Timothy: Princip Alice: Timothy: Principal A.

Sponsors’ Messages we pans Ones Aaron and Candy have been invited to launch a new school magazine. ‘They are talking to their teachers, Mr Szeto and Miss Fung, about the magazine. Listen to their conversation and answer the questions that follow using the information from the conversation and the Data File. Miss Fung, how are we going to launch a school magazine? It sounds interesting. Candy and f are both excited about it, but we're also @ bit worried whether we can do it by ourselves. ‘Yes. We have no experience at all in doing magazines. Don’t worry. You won’s be doing it ail alone. Mr Szeto and | will be your supervisors and a lot of other students will be involved too. You'll have a committee of students to share all ‘the work, So it’s going to be a team effort Yes, we'll give you all the help and advice you'll need. And, actually, its our Tapescript Narrator: Aaron: Candy: Miss Fung: Mr Szeto:© Miss Fung: Mr Szeto: Candy: Aaron: Miss Fung Candy Mr Szeto: Miss Fung: Aaron: Mr Szato: Miss Fung Mr Szeto: principal's suggestion. He noticed that since you aft like reading magazines, he thinks it would be nice to have our ‘own school magazine. This would give you a lot of chances to practise your writing skills and also provide some quality reading for ail of you. And since in every issue there would be a little survey and research on an interesting topic related to your school life, teachers and students can understand each other better. And in doing the survey, which is to be done by a different senior form each time, students will learn a let, such as how to prepare a questionnaire, how 10 do interviews, and how to write a simple report. Isee. We can learn a fot from it. 'm sure that will be a very rewarding experience. Is it. going to be a monthly magazine? We'd love to have a monthly, but it going to be too much work for all of us. So we'll just start as @ quarterly, which comes out every three months. When are we going to have our first issue? Weil, if things go smoothly, our plan is to have it right before Christmas in fact, our principal would like us to give it out as a Christmas present to everyone on the Monday right before Christmas. Wow, we don't have too much time, do we? That's true. So, | think first of all, we'll have to work on the committee members. Mr Szeto and {have already got the {ist of posts in the committee and we ‘would like you two to find out who are suitable and interested in taking up the posts. The idea fs this, we don’t want to force it on anyone and we want to recruit Aaron: Miss Fung Aaron: Candy! Mr Szeto: Candy Mr Szeto: Aaron: Miss Fung Aaron’ Mr Szeto: Candy: Aaron: Candy Aaron: Candy students who're really interested in the job. How many peopie are there in the committee? First of all, Mr Szeto and | are the supervisors, And we need two chief editors. As you're the winners of fast year’s writing competitions, and your language teachers highly recommend you to us, we hope you two can take up the posts, if you're interested Yes, lam. ‘OK. I'd love to try. Then we'll need two more editors, ‘two reporters, a photographer, two graphic designers, and two advertising representatives Wow, that’s quite a team! Who's going to print it for us? ve talked to an old student, Mr Law, who works for a printing company, and he seid he can print it for us at a very reasonable price. By the way, whats it going to be called, our magazine? That’s what | want you two to decide Mr Szeto and | do have a couple of suggestions but you can always use your own ideas if you like, OK? Mmm ... Why don’t we call it ‘The Connection’, as its supposed to bring all of us together? That's interesting because Miss Fung and | were thinking it could be called “The Bridge’ for the same reason. What about ‘The Campus’? It sounds more scholarly and it’s a fitting title for a school magazine. ‘The Campus’? Sorry, but ! think it's a bit pretentious. After all, our school is so small, Let's have something more fun and unique, Mmm... Hey, {have an idea. How about ‘The s? What do you mean? Just thé letter s7 Progressive English 3 (Seon Ecitin)- Unit 8Aaron: ‘Yes, it stands for our school name, *Success’, and, it can also mean the word ‘school. Caney: "The $'t Hike that. It’s catchy, Miss Fung: Yes, that’s a good idea Mr Szeto: OK, ‘The S’ itis, then. Tapescript Ouse Narrator: n the second conversation, the editors are discussing the contents of the schoo! magazine. Listen to their conversation and complete the following table, Vicky: Candy, what willbe in our magazine? Samuel: | guess we'll have an editor's page, lke most magazines do. Aaron: Yes, we will I's called ‘Editors’ Corner’, And til be giving the Opening Speech and Christmas Greeting on behalf of the committee in the first issue. Candy: Look, Mr Szeto wanits us to give him the topics we suggest for the fist issue. So we freed your opinions now. Vicky: Fine. Let's do it then. | heard there's a survey or research on the school. What's ‘the topic of the first survey? Sarnuel: Why don’t we investigate students’ ‘opinions on the duration of our lunch break? Vicky: ‘agree, A lot of us think we should have a longer break. But extending it will only make our school day longer! ‘Aaron: See? That's why we have to find out what most students think about it. Let's put it in ‘The ‘S’ Survey’, Samuel: Sorry, the what? Candy: The ‘S’ Survey. That’s what the survey section is called. Next, you know we have an interview section with one of the school staff, Yes, that's the section called The Close Encounter’ The close what? The Close Encounter. i's spelt E-N-C-O- U-N-EE-R. It means a close meeting or something like that. Candy and | think this Aaron. Candy: Samuel: Aaron: Samuel: Aaron: Vicky: Samuel: Candy. Vicky: Aaron: Candy Samuel: Candy: Vicky: Samuel: Aaron: Vicky: Aaron: Samuel: Aaron: Vicky Samuel: is a really coot name. | hope Miss Eung'll like it. That's a new word to me. Who should we interview in the first issue? Shali we simply interview the principal? Well, we listen to the principal all the time. Shall we have somebody who doesn’t talk as much instead? You know, someone who's a bit more ‘mysterious’? it should be more interesting, don’t you think? | have an idea. What about Mr Wong, our gate keeper? Who would be interested in what our school gate Keeper has to say? | would. Me too, he's always so cool, He hardly talks to us. But everyone knows he's a very responsible gate keeper. Good. Let's interview Mr Wong then. Do we have some pages for students’ work? Yes, in fact we have two sections for that. ‘One of them is for students’ voluntary submissions whereas the students’ works in the other section are recommended by the language teachers. The teachers simply pick the best essays we do in the writing periods. That's good. We have a chance to appreciate the best works in our school. What are these two sections called? Students can submit their own works to the ‘Contribution Page’ and we put teachers’ recommendations in the “Teachers' Pick’ “Contribution Page’ and ‘Teachers’ Pick’? ‘These names are not bad. Do you like them? Actually, Candy and | worked them out. | also like the name Candy has for the section on students! suggestions for the school. What is it? it's called ‘For a Better Schoo Wait, | didn’t know we have a section on that. ‘For a Better School’? Sorry. What's it for again?Candy: Its for students to give comments or suggestions regarding the schoo! Vicky: Do you think the schoo! will listen to us? Candy: I'm sure they will. In fact, this is a section suggested by our principal. Samuel: Wow, that’s great! Vicky: What else? Candy: We also have a page called “Union's Voice’ for our Student Union, And there're a few pages for the promotion of schoo! activities and the photos taken in these activities, Samuel: It would be nice to share our happy moments, What's the name for this section? Aaron: Yes, that’s a good idea. And its simply called ‘News from Clubs and Societies’. What do you think we should put there in the first issue? Ihave a suggestion. As we're having a fundraising party after the Chinese New Year, let's invite students to join the Chinese New Year fundraising party. Candy: Good. Let me put it down. Chinese New Year Fundraising Party. Samuet: |s that ali? Aaron: {think so. There is another section for advertisements but it can simply be called ‘Advertisements’. Vicky: Walt, that sounds @ bit commercial. They'll MON@>d® pay for their ads, and they are like sponsors t0 our magazine. Mmm ... Why don’t we call it Sponsors’ Messages’? Aaron: Fine. Let's call it ‘Sponsors’ Messages’. Candy: Good. | think we've got everything down now. Thanks a lot.
