Model answer
The chart gives an overview of the gap between male and female
earnings in the USA over a 30-year period, starting in 1975. The
chart shows that men consistently earned more than women
throughout that period, but the gap was greatest among those of
the older age groups.
In 1975, even the youngest age group, 16–24 years, were earning
around 78% of male wages, while the oldest group, 45–54 years,
earned almost half that of their male counterparts, at just 58%.
Over the decades, all age groups showed a steady improvement,
with the exception of women aged 35–44 years, which stopped

From Cacao to Cocoa
First the cacao pods are harvested by hand. The pods are then
carefully broken open to release the cacao beans, which are
embedded in a moist pulp. The beans and pulp are scooped out
quickly and placed in a pile on mats or banana leaves and placed in
a box. The contents of the box are heated slightly.
Fermentation occurs when the pulp surrounding the cacao bean
is converted into alcohol by the yeast in the air. The beans are
mixed gently during this process to introduce oxygen into the box.
Holes in the box allow the liquid that is produced to slowly leak
out, leaving just the beans. The beans gather moisture from the
environment and the pulp.
Their flavour begins to change from mainly bitter to the complex
flavour called chocolate. This fermentation process can take up
to eight days depending on the species of cacao beans. In the
final stage, the cocoa beans (as they are called after fermentation)
are dried, shipped and stored.

To practise the second conditional for talking about

Completing sentences and a guessing game
Classroom dynamics
Class, or two large groups
Time taken
15 minutes
When to use
After 10b, Language development and vocabulary, Exercise 6b,
Page 160
Preparation
Make enough copies of the activity so that each student gets
at least three sentence strips. Bring one bag for each group to
class to put the folded sentence strips in.

n
Procedure
1 Depending on the size of your class, you can play this
so
game as a class or in groups of four. Hand out at least
three different strips to each student.
2 Individually, students should complete the sentences with
their own opinions using the second conditional. Allow
about five minutes for this. Monitor students and check
ar
that they are writing grammatically correct sentences
(focus on the structure of second conditional sentences).
3 Ask students to fold their sentences and to put one of
them in the bag then jumble the sentences in the bag.
Pe

Students then pull out a sentence and read it out loud.


If it is their sentence they should put it back into the bag
and pull out another. Group members have to guess who
wrote the sentence. If they guess right, they get a point.
Continue until all the sentences have been read out.
4 The student with the most points when all the sentences
have been read out is the winner.

3A Error correction

I need a Band 6 in IELTS but I’m not sure that’s achieved.

The most annoyed thing about schools is all the tests.

I’ve tried to organize the new vocabulary in alphabet order but it doesn’t help.

My mark in my last assignment was very disappoint.

I’m very carefree when I write. I always check what I’ve written at the end.

n
Jemima has always been a very creating person.
so
I found the lecture very information.

Stressing too much about exams can be harm.


ar

Education research has shown that practice really does make perfect.
Pe

After careless consideration I’ve decided not to take the exam at this stage.

Tradition methods of teaching are often found to be boring by students.

Stress has been found to have a direct effect on the academy success of students.

We had a very interesting converse about the aims of education.

What’s the differ between a test and an exam?

Some people value popular more than honesty.

1 It’s important that you understand the questions.

2 If you want to improve your reading skills, you should read as much as possible in English.

3 Looking up every new word you come across in the dictionary is time consuming and not
at all helpful.

4 Start by reading the questions.

5 Read the title and the first paragraph carefully. Reading other section headings and the first
line of each paragraph is also a quick way to get the general idea of a text.

6 There is not enough time in the exam to read a text very thoroughly.

7 The questions usually follow the same order as the text.

8 Be very careful with your answers.

n
9 Often the words that appear in the questions will not be repeated in the text.
so
A Try reading books, newspapers, websites, magazines and advertisements.

B That’s why it is a good idea to scan a reading text for synonyms, antonyms or paraphrase
when looking for the relevant part of the text that contains the answer.
ar
C These are often written in easier language, and you can get a feel for the main ideas in the
text from the questions.
Pe

D Guessing the meaning of unknown vocabulary from the context is an important skill to
develop.

E Read it quickly to locate the section containing an answer and then read that section
carefully to find it.

F These are some techniques that will help you understand what the text is about.

G So answer them in order. If you can’t find one don’t waste time, leave it until the end. If you
still can’t find it, guess. You will get no marks for blank answers.

H Write them in pencil and make sure they’re spelt correctly.

I Underlining key words can help you know what to look for before you read a text.

fermentation) are dried, shipped and stored.

crowds pose risks too. All it takes is a few people to move in the wrong
direction or run and people can quickly find themselves in danger. That’s
why event organisers need to plan their crowd control and have safety
measures in place for anything that might go wrong. And that’s where a
risk assessor would come in.

That brings me nicely onto the next step which is the evaluation stage. Another issue is past planning. Urban planning isn’t a new phenomenon.

Well, in order to make sure this happens effectively, there’s a procedure
that planners across the country generally follow and I’d like to talk
you through that process. At first, they think about their vision – what
exactly they want from this plan. And from this vision, they choose the
goals that they want to achieve. These could be, for example, to reduce
traffic on the inner city road network during rush hour or to build a new
apartment block to provide more housing for an overcrowded area.
The next step is to collect data and then put together draft 1 of the plan.
They don’t actually show the first draft to anyone at this stage. Instead,
the planner reads it and the content is revised. Remember that this stage
of the process can take a lot of time and requires a lot of very detailed
work but it’s better to get things right at the beginning.
So now the planner has the second draft. Unlike draft one, this draft is
given to a planning team who read it and pose a lot of questions. They
also make recommendations and help the planner to get the plan just
right. The plan is rewritten and the third draft is produced.
