Example key:
The cat and the dog are neighbours. The cat says ‘Let’s do something fun.
My boss is out. She’s going to a party.’ ‘What shall we do?’ the dog asks. The
cat says ‘Let’s go to the kitchen. It’s that way.’ ‘Hmm, see what’s inside this
rubbish bin.’ Together they turn the rubbish bin upside down. ‘Those food left
overs look delicious!’ And that’s how these two pets had their own party.

A Watching
5
Example key:
I think it’s a suitable name. Vertigo means ‘afraid of heights’, so it’s an appropriate and funny
name for a skydiving centre.

4. B
5. A
6. A

6b
1. She's scared (of heights) and very hesitant to go.
2. C
3. She was relieved and happy that she didn’t do it.
4. They want to try something more active now.
5. Shaking your head

7
You really should give it a try. As long as you don’t look down once you are up in
the air, you won’t see how high up you are. And it really isn’t that high. Just look
forward. The instructor teaches you what to do. The instructor is there with you
and he'll make sure you are safe. And we will be there with you, as well.

9
Example key:
playing videogames – going to the cinema – going to the gym
I think we should go to the cinema this afternoon. There’s a new Marvel film that I’d love to
see. I know my classmates are big Marvel fans as well, so it’d be nice to go together.

1. Some place ‘over the hills’ and ‘far away’ from Los Angeles where nobody
knows you.
2. No, she asks the listener to take her to that place. She wants to go ‘away
with you’.
3. I’d like to go to a beautiful island where it’s always sunny. It’s the best place to relax.

11a,b

11c
Dress code, entrance fee and to enjoy yourself. You always have to pay to get in and for
some discos a dress code is required. Most importantly, it’s all about having fun.

Example key:
Today was the best day ever. My friends and I first went to the park
where we had a blast pedal boating on the lake. After that, we went to my
favourite restaurant to chill on the terrace with some cold beverages.
There was a lively atmosphere: the perfect spot for socialising with
friends! In short, I really enjoyed myself today and wish it had never ended.

18d
1. Participants are going to play and learn about soccer in a different country, with
people from other countries.
2. Improve their football skills and get to know Costa Rican culture.
3. Yes, I do think that it is surprising because usually you start a game by
explaining the rules and for that you need language.
4. Heart was racing, really scary, more comfortable on a field, got over their nerves.

18e
Yes, I think they’ve achieved their goals. They’ve had lots of football training
with famous coaches. They also met a lot of locals, which helps getting to
know the country’s culture first-hand.

Example key:
(with the text ‘Then we decided to play a couple of games of knockout. This is a game
played within the lines of the penalty area,
where every player has a ball with them that you need
to kick out of that area.’)

Testimonial:
The Tracking Book Camp is the perfect combination of having an active holiday
while also relaxing and enjoying a good read. I loved the book discussions we
had while tracking the great landscapes of Iceland, which are perfect reading
grounds, and the freedom to choose whatever you felt like doing at any moment
during this camp. – Suzanne, 15

D Speaking & Stones


22b
Example key:
> What are some of the things you enjoyed doing most in the past month?
< This summer holiday in August, we went on holiday to Costa Rica. I'm really glad we went
swimming with dolphins.
> What made the experience stand out for you?
< It was really exciting to participate in this adventure. I was quite nervous because the
dolphins were so big and they swam right next to us. It was an unforgettable day.

23

23b
Example key:
My friends and I went to a karaoke bar and, of course, we took part in karaoke singing as well.
Together, we sang our favourite songs. I also sang a karaoke song on my own. It was my
favourite Macklemore song. I really went for it, but in the middle of the song, I lost my voice.
My friends tried to cheer me up but I didn't really mind. We had a blast. I look forward to our
next performance at the karaoke bar!

25
Example key:
I went on a hot air balloon trip this summer. My uncle organises balloon events. This one took
place not far from where I live. He invited me to come and have look and to ride in one! Riding
in a hot air balloon is something I've always been curious about because it seems like such a
magical thing to do. I've dreamed of it since I was a little girl! I was quite nervous before we
entered the balloon. We soon rose into the air. It was an amazing feeling and the view was
simply incredible. I'm really glad I tried it out!

made.
A: Alright! Who is the friend you visited?

B: Yes, we did. We Skype or call every week and we try to make plans to visit each other.
A: So that trip you went on, how long had you not seen her?

us to go to England during the summer holiday to visit my friend and her family.
A: Two years is a long time! Was it an epic reunion?
B: Yes, it was! We hugged each other for so long!
A: Has she visited you as well?

The Caribbean Corkscrew, because I like lovely weather and sharp bends.

1. B
2. B
3. Top priority ... body types! / Safety is … one concern.
4. Heavier riders
5. On rides with steep drops, they will go faster, and on rides without steep
drops, they will just have the speed of the water.
6. To ensure that there is enough space between the riders, so that riders of
different body types and speeds can enjoy the ride safely.
7. Because safety concerns were overlooked and they did not have the
technology back then to calculate riders’ position and speed.
8. A

41c

42
Example key:
Sky diving, scuba diving, swimming with sharks. I don’t think I would do any of these things
because I am simply afraid that I will get hurt. I enjoy slightly scary things such as
rollercoasters and slides, if I know for sure that that are safe.

43
1. Anticipation
Anticipation is no science subject
2. To forecast
To forecast is not a movement
3. Ride
A ride is not a quality of something

44
Example key:
We went up the wooden stairs of the Caribbean Corkscrew in Adventure
Island Florida, looking down at the other water rides getting smaller and
smaller below us. At the top, we had to go through a low revolving gate
and we met the guard of the slide who was giving people directions on
when to go. The entrance was a very dark, narrow tube. There are actually
two slides in which you can compete for speed, which is a lot of fun. The
slide is 70 meters long and goes pretty fast because there are no real
bends.

> What are you doing this weekend? I'm planning to watch the Liverpool match at home. Do
you want to join me? It starts at 1.30.
< I’m sorry, but I can’t. It would have been nice, though. I have a birthday party until three.
Shall we meet up after that?
> No. I'm afraid I can't. What about Saturday evening? Let's catch a film. I heard there's a new

I recently went to an outdoor pool with my brother. There is a new 5-metre diving board, so we
jumped off lots of times. The water was a bit chilly but we really enjoyed ourselves. We
relaxed by the pool, eating snacks and so on.

Example key:
> What are your plans for this weekend?
< I'd like to attend a breakdance battle at the Apollo. My best friend is participating in it. I'm
going to cheer him on.
> Can I join you? I've always wanted to see a breakdance event.
< Sure, it starts at eight. Shall I pick you up at your house at seven?
> Great. What about Sunday? What would you like to see or do?
< How about going to the amusement park? I've got a spare ticket, so we could go together.
> Wonderful. I'll buy us drinks and snacks then!

'I'd definitely like to learn to speak Japanese and visit Japan while I'm still young.'
I guess Susan has written this because she has always been interested in foreign languages
and travelling in Asia.

Example key:
My dream has always been to go out and experience new things. However, right now I'm not
old enough to do that on my own. I'd love to meet new friends, learn and speak different
languages.
I dream of flying to different parts of the world and going backpacking in Asia and Australia.
I can't wait to be old enough so I can go and explore the world alone. When I am bit older, I'll
probably work as a tour guide for a tour company so I can show people the beauty of the
world. In this way, I can become a professional full-time traveller!

Dear second-year students,
You’re all invited to the party of the century.
The dress code for this party is way too cool. It is
Fire and Ice. The party is taking place on the first
Friday after the holidays and starts at eight. The
teachers will also dress up and it is their job to
serve the drinks and the snacks.
Tickets are five euros and there will be a raffle
at the end of the night. Someone will win a
fantastic prize.

Example key:
Dear me,
This year things went really well. It’s nice to write you a letter. I hope you’ve had
a nice holiday and that you came back with renewed energy and a positive
attitude. This year I had less stress than before, which was good. I made a lot
of new friends and got to try out some things I’d never done before. I hope next
year will be fun, too.
Bye, Cindy

Reading Matters
57
1. Invitations are being sent.
2. The party is going to take place during the weekend.
3. The person who is throwing the party is popular.

58
1. She feels insecure (‘Why hadn’t ... her party?’), and she feels sad
(‘I couldn’t ... start crying’).
2. C
3. During the party, they will go bowling and do a scavenger hunt.
Then they will have a sleepover and watch scary movies. The next morning
they will have breakfast at IHOP. There will be a lot of people, so they will
need two big vans to transport everyone.
4. I think she will accept it. She hesitates because she realises she wasn’t
on the A list’, but in the end, I think she will just be pleased to be included.

59
Example key:
This weekend I’m finally going to have my birthday party! I’ve made great
plans: we’re going on a scavenger hunt, then we're going to watch scary
movies and have a sleepover! I’m so excited.
If I could, I would invite all the girls in my class: the more the merrier.
However, my parents don’t agree: they want 12 people – max! That’s also
the amount of people that will fit into the two minivans they drive. I’ve had
a hard time deciding who to invite. Like I said, I don’t really like excluding
anyone. In the end, I had my list. It was a tough call. I was sorry it didn’t
include Judi. She’s kind of quiet and should definitely smile more (she has
such a pretty smile), but I always have the idea that she’s a sweet and
funny girl. But then, a couple of girls said they couldn’t come. I was a bit
relieved, because now I could invite Judi after all!
