ENGLISH LESSONS FOR EVERYONE

People study English all over the world. They need English for work and to find
information. But in many countries, people don’t know English very well. In
Bangladesh, for example, many people can’t learn the language because they
haven’t got money for lessons. Now, for people in Bangladesh, there is a solution to
this problem. They can learn English on their mobile phones!
Bangladesh is the first country in the world to use mobile phones for learning
English. Over 50 million people in the country have got mobile phones. They usually
use their phones to chat with friends or send text messages. Now, they can learn
English with Janala, the English language programme. Janala means “window”. This
is a perfect name for these lessons because they open a window to the world.
In the first three months, Janala gave more than one million English lessons. The
lessons are very popular in Bangladesh now. The mobile phone companies are
giving special low prices, so the lessons don’t cost much money. Also, with Janala,
people can study anywhere – in the street, in shops, on the bus or at home.

1 Read the article about marriage and dating.

IS MARRIAGE CHANGING?
Forty years ago, most people got married in their early twenties. But today, people
often wait until they are older to get married. What caused this change? Read the
information about dating and marriage and find out.
In the past, men usually had better jobs than women. Many women got married
early, had children and stayed at home. Today, many young women study at
university and get better jobs than women could get in the past. Because of this,
many women want to work. They don’t want to stay at home. They have also got
more money to spend on travel, hobbies and interests outside the home.
Dating is different now, too. Forty years ago, young people went out more in the
evenings. There was always a party or a place to go dancing, so it was easier to
meet people. People often fell in love and got married at a very young age. But
today, Internet dating websites are popular ways to meet people. These sites can
often match people’s interests and personalities and people can choose their future
husbands and wives more carefully.
Are these changes good? Well, according to some studies in the USA and in
England, there aren’t as many divorces in recent years. So, some people think these
changes are good. What do you think?

2 Read the text about Andrew Harper.

TREKKING IN AUSTRALIA
In 1999, Andrew Harper walked 4,637 kilometres across Australia. The walk took
229 days and some of the journey was through hot, dry desert. He had three camels
and a dog with him. While Harper was trekking through the desert, the animals
walked behind him and they carried the heavy equipment.
It isn’t possible to cross the desert in ordinary transport such as a car, jeep or van.
Two hundred years ago, people tried taking horses across the Australian desert.
The horses needed to drink and many of them died while they were trying to find
water. Camels survive well in the desert because they don’t need water every day.
They drink before their journey and they carry the water inside their bodies. They
also get some water from the plants in the desert. The trek wasn’t easy, but he
loved it.
Harper wants other people to experience the Australian desert. Today, he takes
tourists there with his camels. The participants sleep outside, cook their meals and
help with the camels. It’s not the perfect holiday for everybody, but it is an amazing
experience.

A COMPETITION FOR SPORTS FANATICS

Monday 29th December, 2010
On 1st January, people all over the USA are going to compete in the annual Couch
Potato Competition. Couch potato is an expression to describe a very lazy person.
Couch means sofa. A couch potato’s favourite activity is sitting on the sofa, watching
TV.
The rules for the Couch Potato Competition are simple. You must sit on a big
comfortable chair and watch sport on TV. You can stand for five minutes every hour
and you can go to the toilet three times a day. You can also have food and drink all
the time. But the competition isn’t easy. The competitors mustn’t go to sleep and the
competition usually continues for days. People often start to prepare for it the day
before. They don’t eat or drink very much and they go to bed early.
Twenty-six-year-old Jeff Miller, from Chicago, was the 2010 Couch Potato World
Champion and he broke the Guinness World Record for watching sport. Miller sat in
front of the TV for 72 hours and he didn’t fall asleep once! It won’t be easy to beat
Miller’s record next year. But, if you win the competition, you will get some great
prizes. The prizes include an award, a TV, an armchair and free cable TV.

LIGHTNING STRIKES
Have you ever heard of someone surviving a lightning strike? Believe it or not, this
happens very often. Lightning strikes about 2,000 people around the world every
year and most of these people survive.
Austin Melton from Oregon, USA survived a lightning strike when he was 14 years
old. He was playing basketball in his school when the storm started. All the lights in
the school went out, so the students ran outside to watch the storm. They saw
lightning above the football field and saw it hit the school building. Many students
were frightened, but not Austin. He wanted everyone to know he was brave, so he
walked across the football field. Suddenly, lightning hit his head and his body.
Austin’s friends ran to help him, but they were very frightened and didn’t want to
touch him. A teacher called an ambulance and Austin went to hospital. All the
students were worried. The lightning destroyed Austin’s shirt and shoes, but he was
still alive. It was amazing!
Austin has discovered a lot of important information about lightning since his
experience and when Austin sees lightning now, he doesn’t run into a field! In fact,
he hasn’t been outside in a storm since his accident.

1 Read the text about the impact of music.

THE POWER OF MUSIC

Music has got a very strong power over living things. For example, farmers
sometimes play slow, relaxing music for their animals. When cows and hens listen to
music, the hens lay a lot of eggs and the cows make more milk. But animals don’t
like all types of music. A group of psychologists played two different types of music
for rats. They put the rats in two boxes. In one box there was classical music and in
the other box there was rock music. The rats could move to the other box through a
door. Most of the rats went into the box with the classical music.
Believe it or not, plants prefer classical music, too. In a scientific experiment,
Dorothy Retallack played different types of music for plants, including jazz, classical
music, rock and country music. The plants grew very well with the relaxing jazz and
classical music. They grew quite well with the country music. But the plants in a
room with rock music died.
Today, many hospitals are using music therapy and are having amazing results.
Classical music often helps patients sleep better and feel calmer. So, try listening to
Mozart. The results may surprise you.

or (false) according to the text.

THE WITCHES OF SALEM

In the 1600s, many people believed in witches. When something strange or unusual
happened, people usually thought a witch was causing it.
The most famous “witches” were from Salem in Massachusetts. The name Salem
means peace, but the village wasn’t a peaceful place at all. The village’s problems
started in 1692. Two young cousins, Betty Parris and Abigail Williams, heard some
stories about voodoo. They decided to try it to predict the future. They put an egg in
a glass of water and looked in the glass for pictures of future events. One of the girls
saw a dead person in the water. This frightened the girls, and they started doing
strange things. Doctors couldn’t find a medical reason for the girls’ strange
behaviour. So they thought witches were causing the problem. The citizens of Salem
went from town to town looking for witches. They accused more than 150 people of
being witches. The citizens brought them to the court in the village. The court
decided that many of them were witches and they must die.
After killing 19 people, the citizens decided it was a terrible mistake. The court
decided that all the men and women were innocent. Since this terrible tragedy, the
US courts haven’t accused people of being witches.

correct answers.

School on Wheels

It’s a hot afternoon in the city of Hyderabad, India. A school bus is stopping in a poor area of the city. Some
children are running towards the bus. They want to look inside. They’re happy and excited.
The bus is a classroom, and for many of India’s poor children, it is their only hope for an education. Many
children in India’s poor areas haven’t got schools to go to. Some of them work to help their families. Others
stand on the streets and ask people for money. This special bus brings school to them.
It’s clean inside the bus. There are pictures on the walls and cupboards with textbooks and notebooks. There are
pencils, pens, glue and a TV. There is a teacher, too. The children learn to read and do maths.
They also get a hot meal. A doctor sometimes comes to the bus to check the children’s health.
Right now about 40 children are sitting on the bus. They are listening to the teacher and writing in their
notebooks. Ten-year-old Devi is learning on the bus today. After she finishes work with her father, she comes
to the bus to study. Devi wants to be a teacher one day. Manjula is studying on the bus today, too. She hopes to
become a doctor.
The school on a bus is the idea of a man called T. L. Reddy. He wants the children to enjoy school. “This is the
only chance they get to be kids, even if it is only for two hours,” he says.

1 Read the text about an amazing dolphin. Then write questions with the words below.
Use the Past Simple.

A Dolphin’s Tail
One cold winter morning in 2005, Jim
Savage went fishing in his small boat.
Suddenly, he heard a terrible noise. What was
it? He sailed his boat in the direction of the
noise and he discovered a baby dolphin with
a rope around her tail and head. The rope
prevented the dolphin from swimming so Jim
cut the rope, but the dolphin didn’t swim
away. She had horrible injuries to her tail.
Jim called for help and Teresa Mazza,
a marine biologist, came. Jim and Teresa
helped the dolphin reach the beach. She was
very tired and she fell asleep in Teresa’s
arms. After that, a special ambulance came
and took the baby dolphin to the Clearwater
Marine Aquarium in Florida, USA.
People at the aquarium named the little
dolphin Winter and took care of her. She
survived the terrible experience but her tail
didn’t survive. Winter learned to swim
without a tail, but it was very difficult. She
couldn’t swim like she used to swim.
Dolphins’ tails move up and down, but
Winter moved from side to side. The unusual
movements weren’t good for Winter’s spine.
Then, Kevin Carroll heard Winter’s story and
volunteered to help. Kevin designs and builds
artificial body parts for animals. He wanted
to create the first artificial tail for a dolphin.
Kevin and a team of experts worked for
a year and a half to design the new tail and
develop a special gel to attach it to Winter’s
body. Winter worked hard and finally learned
to swim with her new tail.
Today, you can see Winter in films about her
story. They’re called Dolphin Tale and
Dolphin Tale 2 and Winter is the star.

The Galapagos Islands

Come and visit the Galapagos Islands, 1,000
km off the coast of Ecuador, in the Pacific
Ocean. The islands are an ideal holiday
destination for animal lovers. Come and see
some of the most extraordinary animals on
Earth, including whales, sharks, birds and
reptiles. They arrived on the isolated
Galapagos Islands thousands of years ago.
Many of them live only on these islands and
nowhere else in the world!
There are 120 islands in the Galapagos. One
of the most beautiful islands is Espanola, in
the south. It isn’t easy to get here because
crossing the sea can be rough. But once you
are here, you can have a lot of fun. You can
enjoy a peaceful day on the beach or go
scuba diving in the deep blue sea. Espanola is
also a favourite destination for animal lovers.
Here you can see the famous marine iguana.
It looks frightening with its big yellow eyes,
but don’t worry – it’s very friendly and it
only eats plants!
Another interesting island is Isabela. It isn’t
as old as Espanola but it’s the largest island
in the Galapagos. It has got long coasts with
steep cliffs and beautiful beaches. You can
take a trip to the Wolf Volcano – the highest
point in the Galapagos – and enjoy the
extraordinary scenery.
There are two seasons on the islands: the wet
season and the dry season. The wet season is
between December and May. It is warm – not
too hot and not too cold – and it often rains
during this time. For bird lovers, this is an
excellent time to visit the islands. They will
see many unusual birds. In the dry season,
from June to December, the weather is
lovely. It is the best time to watch sea
mammals because they are more active than
in the wet season. So come to the Galapagos
at any time!

2 Read the text about saving a glacier in Peru. Then write questions for the answers in bold below.
Which answer is NOT correct?

The Painting Mountains

Chalon Sombrero is a mountain in Peru. It is
about 5,000 metres high and the weather on
the mountain is dry and cold. Snow from the
mountain brings fresh water to many villages
in the area. This water is important for the
people from the villages and their animals –
alpacas. Alpacas are like small llamas.
Alpacas don’t work, but people in Peru use
alpaca hair to make ponchos, sweaters, socks,
hats and scarves.
But today, the snow on the mountain is
disappearing quickly because the weather in
Peru and many places around the world is
getting warmer. The nights are still very cold
on the mountain, but the days are very hot.
Today, the mountain isn’t white with snow –
it’s black. Why is this a problem? Without
the snow, there isn’t water for the people and
their animals.
Who has got a solution for this problem?
Eduardo Gold, an inventor, has got an idea.
He wants to put snow on the mountain again.
His idea is very simple. Black mountains are
warm because the colour black absorbs the
sun’s rays. White mountains are cold because
they don’t absorb the sun’s rays. Gold’s idea
is to paint the mountain white! According to
Gold, when the mountain is white and cold,
there will be snow again. What do people
think of Gold’s idea? Some people think it is
clever and others think it isn’t. But Gold has
got an answer for them: “Doing something is
better than nothing at all,” he says.

1. ......................................................................................................
Snow from the Chalon Sombrero brings fresh water to many villages in the area.

2. ......................................................................................................
Alpacas carry water from the mountain to the villages.

3. ......................................................................................................
People use alpaca hair to make ponchos, sweaters, socks, hats and scarves.

3 Complete the sentences according to the text.

1. You must climb …………………… high to reach the top of Chalon Sombrero.

2. At night, it is …………………… on Chalon Sombrero.

3. The weather in the world is becoming …………………… it was in the past.

4. The colour white …………………… the sun’s rays.

5. …………………… Gold’s idea will work well.

1. Read the text about English lessons on mobile phones.

ENGLISH LESSONS FOR EVERYONE

People study English all over the world. They need English for work, to travel around the world
and to find information, but in many countries, people don’t know English very well. In
Bangladesh, for example, many people can’t learn the language because they haven’t got money
for lessons. Now, for people in Bangladesh, there is a solution to this problem. They can learn
English on their mobile phones!
Bangladesh is the first country in the world to use mobile phones for learning English. Over 50
million people in the country have got mobile phones. They usually use their phones to chat with
friends or send text messages. Now, they can learn English with Janala, the English language
programme. Janala means “window”. This is a perfect name for these lessons because they open
a window to the world.
In the first three months, Janala gave more than one million English lessons. The lessons are very
popular in Bangladesh now. The mobile phone companies are giving special low prices, so the
lessons don’t cost much money. Also, with Janala, people can study anywhere – in the street, in
shops, on the bus or at home.

READING

1.Read the e-mail from Kevin to his uncle.

Hi Uncle Dave,
I’m writing to you from New York. Jim and I arrived here two days ago. New York is an
amazing city! There are so many museums, cafés, department stores and markets. There
are people everywhere. We are staying in a small hotel near Central Park. I know many
cities have got parks in them, but Central Park is enormous. It has got lakes, a zoo and
beautiful gardens, and in the winter there are two ice rinks. I’m sending you a picture of
Jim and me in Central Park. In the picture, we’re riding horses.
We want to go to the top of the Empire State Building. There are great views of the city
from the observation deck on the 86th floor. Once a year, there’s a famous race up the
Empire State Building. Over 100 participants run up a total of 1,576 steps. Do you want
to try it?
Jim and I also want to go to Madame Tussauds Wax Museum because we can “hang
out” with our favourite stars: Beyoncé, Leonardo DiCaprio and Johnny Depp. Jim wants
me to take photos of him with Miley Cyrus. They’ve got an American Idol studio there,
too, and I want to sing for Simon Cowell. He was my favourite judge on the popular US
TV programme.
I’m having a great time. See you soon.

UNIT 3

1.Read the article about marriage and dating.

IS MARRIAGE CHANGING?
Forty years ago, most people got married in their early twenties. But today, people often
wait until they are older to get married. What caused this change? Read the information
about dating and marriage and find out.
In the past, men usually had better jobs than women. Many women got married early,
had children and stayed at home. Today, many young women study at university and
become professionals. They can find better jobs than women could get in the past.
Because of this, many women want to work. They don’t want to stay at home. They have
also got more money to spend on travel, hobbies and interests outside the home.
Dating is different now, too. Forty years ago, young people didn’t have computers or
mobile phones to talk to their friends. They went out more in the evenings. There was
always a party or a place to go dancing, so it was easier to meet people. People often fell
in love and got married at a very young age. But today, Internet dating websites have
become popular ways to meet people. These sites can often match people’s interests and
personalities to help them find husbands or wives. Some men and women chat for
months before they actually meet. On the Internet, people don’t usually fall in love right
away and they can choose their future husbands and wives more carefully.
Are these changes good? Well, according to some studies in the USA and in England,
there aren’t as many divorces in recent years. So, some people think these changes are
good. What do you think?

2. Complete the sentences about life in the past according to the text. Use the
affirmative or negative form of There was or There were.

UNIT 4

1.Read the text about Andrew Harper.

TREKKING IN AUSTRALIA
In 1999, Andrew Harper walked 4,637 kilometres across Australia. The walk took 229
days and some of the journey was through hot, dry desert. Harper didn’t see many people
in the desert, but he wasn’t alone. He had three camels and a dog with him. But he didn’t
ride on the camels. While Harper was trekking through the desert, the animals were
walking behind him.
Why did Harper choose to take camels with him? Because camels are strong, hard-
working animals and they can carry heavy equipment across the desert. It isn’t possible
to cross the desert in ordinary transport such as a car, jeep or van. Two hundred years
ago, people tried taking horses across the Australian desert. The horses needed to drink
and many of them died while they were trying to find water. Camels survive well in the
desert because they don’t need water every day. They drink before their journey and they
carry the water inside their bodies. They also get some water from the plants in the
desert. During Harper’s journey, his camels carried his food, water, clothes, sleeping
bag, tent and other important equipment. The trek wasn’t easy, but he loved it. Harper
wrote a diary about it and put it on the Internet.
Harper loves the Australian desert and he wants other people to experience its special
atmosphere. Today, he takes tourists into the desert with his camels. The participants
sleep outside and cook their meals on a campfire. They must also help with the camels
and learn how to care for them. It’s not the perfect holiday for everybody, but it is an
amazing experience.

2. Complete the sentences with the verbs in brackets. Use the Past Simple or Past
Continuous. Then tick ( ) the sentences true (T) or false (F).

1.Read the article about an unusual competition.

A COMPETITION FOR SPORTS FANATICS

Monday, 29th December 2010
On 1st January, people all over the USA are going to compete in the annual Couch
Potato Competition. Couch potato is an expression to describe a very lazy person. Couch
means sofa. A couch potato’s favourite activity is sitting on the sofa, watching TV. The
competition takes place every year on New Year’s Day to find the USA’s Number One
couch potato.
If you love watching sport but hate exercising, you will probably do well in this
competition. The rules are simple. You must sit on a big comfortable chair and watch
sport on TV. You can stand for five minutes every hour and you can leave the sofa three
times a day to go to the toilet. You can also have as much food and drink as you want.
For sports fanatics, this is a dream come true. They can escape from the cold, snowy
weather outside and watch sport in a warm room with a lot of food. But the competition
isn’t easy. The competitors mustn’t go to sleep and the competition usually continues for
days. People often start to prepare for it the day before. They don’t eat or drink a lot and
they go to bed early.
Twenty-six-year-old Jeff Miller, from Chicago, is the present Couch Potato World
Champion. He entered and won the competition three times and he broke the Guinness
World Record for watching sport. In 2010, Miller sat in front of the TV for 72 hours and
he didn’t fall asleep once! It won’t be easy to beat Miller’s record next year. But, if you
win the competition, you will get some great prizes. The prizes include an award, a TV,
an armchair and free cable TV.

Visit the gold mine at Sovereign Hill in Australia and travel back in time to the Gold
Rush days of the 1850s. At this unusual outdoor museum, you can look for gold and
experience one of the most exciting and lively times in history.
Sovereign Hill is the largest outdoor museum in Australia. There is a small town with
more than 60 old buildings from the 1850s. There are also artifacts from the Gold Rush.
The workers at the park wear clothes from the 1800s. You can watch them doing work
and activities from that period. Some of the workers use very old equipment to melt
gold. Then they make elaborate golden items.
There are many interesting activities for visitors to do at Sovereign Hill, too. You can go
on a horse ride or watch artists making ceramics. You can go under the ground to tour
the gold mines. Most exciting of all, you can look for gold in the sandy floor of the river.
Workers at the park sometimes throw gold in the water. So if you look hard enough, you
will probably find some. If you don’t find any gold in the river, you will find some in the
souvenir shop. There are some great souvenirs to choose from and they aren’t too
expensive.
After a busy day in the park, you can watch a sound and light show about the history of
the mine workers. Then you can enjoy a meal in the restaurant or one of the cafés. You’ll
love the food. Some of the recipes are from the 1800s. Enjoy your visit!

UNIT 7

1.Read the text about Austin’s frightening experience.

LIGHTNING STRIKES
Have you ever heard of someone surviving a lightning strike? Believe it or not, this
happens very often. Lightning strikes about 2,000 people around the world every year
and most of these people survive.
Austin Melton from Oregon, USA survived a lightning strike when he was 14 years old.
He was playing basketball in his school when the storm started. All the lights in the
school went out, so the students ran outside to watch the storm. They saw lightning
above the football field and saw it hit the school building. Many students were
frightened, but not Austin. He wanted everyone to know that he was brave, so he walked
across the football field. Suddenly, lightning hit his head and his body. Austin’s friends
ran to help him, but they were too frightened to touch him. A teacher called an
ambulance and Austin went to hospital. All the students were worried. The lightning
destroyed Austin’s shirt and shoes, but he was still alive. It was amazing!
Austin has discovered a lot of important information about lightning since his
experience. For example, lightning is more dangerous than most people think – and it
usually hits the highest object around. If you walk into a field, you will become the
highest object in the area and the lightning will probably hit you. Also, it is dangerous to
stand near high trees or buildings. The best place to be during a storm is in a car, bus or
building, but lightning can enter open windows and doors, so it’s important to close
them.
There are often thunderstorms in Oregon, but now when Austin sees lightning, he
doesn’t run into a field! In fact, he hasn’t been outside in a storm since his accident.

UNIT 8

1.Read the text about the impact of music.

THE POWER OF MUSIC

Music has got a very strong power over living things. It can change the way we feel and
help us to work, learn and study. It can make animals feel calm and happy, too. But not
all music is good for us.
Farmers sometimes play slow, relaxing music for their animals. When cows and hens
listen to music, the hens lay a lot of eggs and the cows make more milk. But animals
don’t like all types of music. A group of psychologists played two different types of
music for rats. They put the rats in two boxes. In one box there was classical music by
Bach, and in the other box there was rock music. The rats could move to the other box
through a door. Almost all the rats went into the box with the classical music, so they
definitely preferred it.
Believe it or not, plants prefer classical music, too. In a scientific experiment, Dorothy
Retallack played different types of music for plants, including jazz, classical music with
violins, rock with loud drums, Indian and country music. The plants grew very well with
the relaxing jazz, classical and Indian music. They grew quite well with the country
music. But the plants in a room with rock music died.
If some types of music are good for a plant’s health, they will probably be good for ours,
too. In fact, many hospitals are using music therapy and are having amazing results.
Classical music often helps patients sleep better and feel calmer. So, try listening to
Mozart, Chopin or Brahms. The results may surprise you.

2. Choose the correct answer to complete the sentences. Then tick ( ) the sentences
true (T) or false (F) according to the text.

UNIT 9

1. Read the text about witches in the USA.

THE WITCHES OF SALEM

In the 1600s, many people believed in witches. When something strange or unusual
happened, people usually thought a witch was causing it.
The most famous “witches” were from Salem in Massachusetts. The name Salem means
peace, but the village wasn’t a peaceful place at all. The village’s problems started in
1692. Two young cousins, Betty Parris and Abigail Williams, heard some stories about
voodoo magic. They decided to try some magic to predict the future. They put an egg in
a glass of water and looked in the glass for pictures of future events. One of the girls saw
a dead person in the water. This frightened the girls very much and they told their friends
about it. Their friends became upset, too, and they all started to imagine strange things.
They felt hands and teeth attacking them. The hands were scratching and picking at them
and the teeth were biting them. Doctors couldn’t find a medical reason for the girls’
strange behaviour. So they thought witches were causing the problem. The citizens of
Salem were very worried. They went from town to town looking for witches. The people
of Salem accused more than 150 people of being witches and warlocks. The citizens
brought them to the court in the village. Most of these people didn’t know the girls at all
and they were frightened and confused. The court decided that many of them were
witches and they must die.
After killing 19 people, the citizens decided it was a terrible mistake. The court decided
that all the men and women were innocent. Since this terrible tragedy, the US courts
haven’t accused any more people of being witches.

2. Complete the sentences with the correct form of the verb in brackets. Then choose
the correct answer.
1. The name Salem …………………… (mean) witch / peace / magic.
2. While one of the girls …………………… (look) in the glass, she saw a dead person /

3. The doctors examined the witches / warlocks / girls, but they …………………… (not
find) a reason for their problem.

1. Read the text about English lessons on mobile phones.

ENGLISH LESSONS FOR EVERYONE

People study English all over the world. They need English for work, to travel around the world
and to find information, but in many countries, people don’t know English very well. In
Bangladesh, for example, many people can’t learn the language because they haven’t got money
for lessons. Now, for people in Bangladesh, there is a solution to this problem. They can learn
English on their mobile phones!
Bangladesh is the first country in the world to use mobile phones for learning English. Over 50
million people in the country have got mobile phones. They usually use their phones to chat with
friends or send text messages. Now, they can learn English with Janala, the English language
programme. Janala means “window”. This is a perfect name for these lessons because they open
a window to the world.
In the first three months, Janala gave more than one million English lessons. The lessons are very
popular in Bangladesh now. The mobile phone companies are giving special low prices, so the
lessons don’t cost much money. Also, with Janala, people can study anywhere – in the street, in
shops, on the bus or at home.

READING

1.Read the e-mail from Kevin to his uncle.

Hi Uncle Dave,
I’m writing to you from New York. Jim and I arrived here two days ago. New York is an
amazing city! There are so many museums, cafés, department stores and markets. There
are people everywhere. We are staying in a small hotel near Central Park. I know many
cities have got parks in them, but Central Park is enormous. It has got lakes, a zoo and
beautiful gardens, and in the winter there are two ice rinks. I’m sending you a picture of
Jim and me in Central Park. In the picture, we’re riding horses.
We want to go to the top of the Empire State Building. There are great views of the city
from the observation deck on the 86th floor. Once a year, there’s a famous race up the
Empire State Building. Over 100 participants run up a total of 1,576 steps. Do you want
to try it?
Jim and I also want to go to Madame Tussauds Wax Museum because we can “hang
out” with our favourite stars: Beyoncé, Leonardo DiCaprio and Johnny Depp. Jim wants
me to take photos of him with Miley Cyrus. They’ve got an American Idol studio there,
too, and I want to sing for Simon Cowell. He was my favourite judge on the popular US
TV programme.
I’m having a great time. See you soon.

1.Read the article about marriage and dating.

IS MARRIAGE CHANGING?
Forty years ago, most people got married in their early twenties. But today, people often
wait until they are older to get married. What caused this change? Read the information
about dating and marriage and find out.
In the past, men usually had better jobs than women. Many women got married early,
had children and stayed at home. Today, many young women study at university and
become professionals. They can find better jobs than women could get in the past.
Because of this, many women want to work. They don’t want to stay at home. They have
also got more money to spend on travel, hobbies and interests outside the home.
Dating is different now, too. Forty years ago, young people didn’t have computers or
mobile phones to talk to their friends. They went out more in the evenings. There was
always a party or a place to go dancing, so it was easier to meet people. People often fell
in love and got married at a very young age. But today, Internet dating websites have
become popular ways to meet people. These sites can often match people’s interests and
personalities to help them find husbands or wives. Some men and women chat for
months before they actually meet. On the Internet, people don’t usually fall in love right
away and they can choose their future husbands and wives more carefully.
Are these changes good? Well, according to some studies in the USA and in England,
there aren’t as many divorces in recent years. So, some people think these changes are
good. What do you think?

2. Complete the sentences about life in the past according to the text. Use the
affirmative or negative form of There was or There were.

UNIT 4

1.Read the text about Andrew Harper.

TREKKING IN AUSTRALIA
In 1999, Andrew Harper walked 4,637 kilometres across Australia. The walk took 229
days and some of the journey was through hot, dry desert. Harper didn’t see many people
in the desert, but he wasn’t alone. He had three camels and a dog with him. But he didn’t
ride on the camels. While Harper was trekking through the desert, the animals were
walking behind him.
Why did Harper choose to take camels with him? Because camels are strong, hard-
working animals and they can carry heavy equipment across the desert. It isn’t possible
to cross the desert in ordinary transport such as a car, jeep or van. Two hundred years
ago, people tried taking horses across the Australian desert. The horses needed to drink
and many of them died while they were trying to find water. Camels survive well in the
desert because they don’t need water every day. They drink before their journey and they
carry the water inside their bodies. They also get some water from the plants in the
desert. During Harper’s journey, his camels carried his food, water, clothes, sleeping
bag, tent and other important equipment. The trek wasn’t easy, but he loved it. Harper
wrote a diary about it and put it on the Internet.
Harper loves the Australian desert and he wants other people to experience its special
atmosphere. Today, he takes tourists into the desert with his camels. The participants
sleep outside and cook their meals on a campfire. They must also help with the camels
and learn how to care for them. It’s not the perfect holiday for everybody, but it is an
amazing experience.

Continuous. Then tick ( ) the sentences true (T) or false (F).

1.Read the article about an unusual competition.

A COMPETITION FOR SPORTS FANATICS

Monday, 29th December 2010
On 1st January, people all over the USA are going to compete in the annual Couch
Potato Competition. Couch potato is an expression to describe a very lazy person. Couch
means sofa. A couch potato’s favourite activity is sitting on the sofa, watching TV. The
competition takes place every year on New Year’s Day to find the USA’s Number One
couch potato.
If you love watching sport but hate exercising, you will probably do well in this
competition. The rules are simple. You must sit on a big comfortable chair and watch
sport on TV. You can stand for five minutes every hour and you can leave the sofa three
times a day to go to the toilet. You can also have as much food and drink as you want.
For sports fanatics, this is a dream come true. They can escape from the cold, snowy
weather outside and watch sport in a warm room with a lot of food. But the competition
isn’t easy. The competitors mustn’t go to sleep and the competition usually continues for
days. People often start to prepare for it the day before. They don’t eat or drink a lot and
they go to bed early.
Twenty-six-year-old Jeff Miller, from Chicago, is the present Couch Potato World
Champion. He entered and won the competition three times and he broke the Guinness
World Record for watching sport. In 2010, Miller sat in front of the TV for 72 hours and
he didn’t fall asleep once! It won’t be easy to beat Miller’s record next year. But, if you
win the competition, you will get some great prizes. The prizes include an award, a TV,
an armchair and free cable TV.

2. Complete the sentences with the affirmative or negative form of will or be going to
according to the text.

1.Read the brochure for Sovereign Hill.

Visit the gold mine at Sovereign Hill in Australia and travel back in time to the Gold
Rush days of the 1850s. At this unusual outdoor museum, you can look for gold and
experience one of the most exciting and lively times in history.
Sovereign Hill is the largest outdoor museum in Australia. There is a small town with
more than 60 old buildings from the 1850s. There are also artifacts from the Gold Rush.
The workers at the park wear clothes from the 1800s. You can watch them doing work
and activities from that period. Some of the workers use very old equipment to melt
gold. Then they make elaborate golden items.
There are many interesting activities for visitors to do at Sovereign Hill, too. You can go
on a horse ride or watch artists making ceramics. You can go under the ground to tour
the gold mines. Most exciting of all, you can look for gold in the sandy floor of the river.
Workers at the park sometimes throw gold in the water. So if you look hard enough, you
will probably find some. If you don’t find any gold in the river, you will find some in the
souvenir shop. There are some great souvenirs to choose from and they aren’t too
expensive.
After a busy day in the park, you can watch a sound and light show about the history of
the mine workers. Then you can enjoy a meal in the restaurant or one of the cafés. You’ll
love the food. Some of the recipes are from the 1800s. Enjoy your visit!

or superlative form.

1.Read the text about Austin’s frightening experience.

LIGHTNING STRIKES
Have you ever heard of someone surviving a lightning strike? Believe it or not, this
happens very often. Lightning strikes about 2,000 people around the world every year
and most of these people survive.
Austin Melton from Oregon, USA survived a lightning strike when he was 14 years old.
He was playing basketball in his school when the storm started. All the lights in the
school went out, so the students ran outside to watch the storm. They saw lightning
above the football field and saw it hit the school building. Many students were
frightened, but not Austin. He wanted everyone to know that he was brave, so he walked
across the football field. Suddenly, lightning hit his head and his body. Austin’s friends
ran to help him, but they were too frightened to touch him. A teacher called an
ambulance and Austin went to hospital. All the students were worried. The lightning
destroyed Austin’s shirt and shoes, but he was still alive. It was amazing!
Austin has discovered a lot of important information about lightning since his
experience. For example, lightning is more dangerous than most people think – and it
usually hits the highest object around. If you walk into a field, you will become the
highest object in the area and the lightning will probably hit you. Also, it is dangerous to
stand near high trees or buildings. The best place to be during a storm is in a car, bus or
building, but lightning can enter open windows and doors, so it’s important to close
them.
There are often thunderstorms in Oregon, but now when Austin sees lightning, he
doesn’t run into a field! In fact, he hasn’t been outside in a storm since his accident.

UNIT 8

1.Read the text about the impact of music.

THE POWER OF MUSIC

Music has got a very strong power over living things. It can change the way we feel and
help us to work, learn and study. It can make animals feel calm and happy, too. But not
all music is good for us.
Farmers sometimes play slow, relaxing music for their animals. When cows and hens
listen to music, the hens lay a lot of eggs and the cows make more milk. But animals
don’t like all types of music. A group of psychologists played two different types of
music for rats. They put the rats in two boxes. In one box there was classical music by
Bach, and in the other box there was rock music. The rats could move to the other box
through a door. Almost all the rats went into the box with the classical music, so they
definitely preferred it.
Believe it or not, plants prefer classical music, too. In a scientific experiment, Dorothy
Retallack played different types of music for plants, including jazz, classical music with
violins, rock with loud drums, Indian and country music. The plants grew very well with
the relaxing jazz, classical and Indian music. They grew quite well with the country
music. But the plants in a room with rock music died.
If some types of music are good for a plant’s health, they will probably be good for ours,
too. In fact, many hospitals are using music therapy and are having amazing results.
Classical music often helps patients sleep better and feel calmer. So, try listening to
Mozart, Chopin or Brahms. The results may surprise you.

true (T) or false (F) according to the text.

UNIT 9

1. Read the text about witches in the USA.

THE WITCHES OF SALEM

In the 1600s, many people believed in witches. When something strange or unusual
happened, people usually thought a witch was causing it.
The most famous “witches” were from Salem in Massachusetts. The name Salem means
peace, but the village wasn’t a peaceful place at all. The village’s problems started in
1692. Two young cousins, Betty Parris and Abigail Williams, heard some stories about
voodoo magic. They decided to try some magic to predict the future. They put an egg in
a glass of water and looked in the glass for pictures of future events. One of the girls saw
a dead person in the water. This frightened the girls very much and they told their friends
about it. Their friends became upset, too, and they all started to imagine strange things.
They felt hands and teeth attacking them. The hands were scratching and picking at them
and the teeth were biting them. Doctors couldn’t find a medical reason for the girls’
strange behaviour. So they thought witches were causing the problem. The citizens of
Salem were very worried. They went from town to town looking for witches. The people
of Salem accused more than 150 people of being witches and warlocks. The citizens
brought them to the court in the village. Most of these people didn’t know the girls at all
and they were frightened and confused. The court decided that many of them were
witches and they must die.
After killing 19 people, the citizens decided it was a terrible mistake. The court decided
that all the men and women were innocent. Since this terrible tragedy, the US courts
haven’t accused any more people of being witches.

2. Complete the sentences with the correct form of the verb in brackets. Then choose
the correct answer.
1. The name Salem …………………… (mean) witch / peace / magic.
2. While one of the girls …………………… (look) in the glass, she saw a dead person /
witch / hand.
3. The doctors examined the witches / warlocks / girls, but they …………………… (not
find) a reason for their problem.
4. People …………………… (not kill) witches since the 1500s / 1600s / 1700s.
