3 Taboo
The procedure:
You get a guess-word that your classmates cannot see. You give them clues about the guess-word
and they try to guess it. You cannot point to the object, mime it or draw it – you describe it using
words only. You also get taboo words, they are words that you cannot use in your description.
The guess-word is ‘window’ and the taboo words are ‘look out’, and ‘glass’. It means that you
cannot say: ‘You can look out of it, or ‘It’s made of glass.’ You can say: ‘You see the street behind
it, ‘There are 5 in our classroom’, ‘You open it when it is too hot inside.’
You play the game in two teams. You describe the guess-word to your team. If they guess the
word, your team scores a point. If they cannot guess it, the other team scores a point. If you don’t
know the word, or cannot describe it, you also lose a point.

7 Reading
Part A: You are going to read two texts written by two students who are taking part in an international
project. They exchange messages with students from other parts of the world.
Text 1
Dear Anita,
I want to tell you about my country. Thailand is often called the land of smiles because the
people are very polite. Families live together. I live with my parents, brothers, grandparents
and one aunt. I have many cousins and they come to my house very often.
Tourists love Thailand for the beautiful nature, warm weather and the food. I think Thai
food is the best in the world! My favourite dish is pad Thai (fried noodles) and tom yun kung
(shrimp soup with lemon). We have fresh vegetables and fruit all year round. I love traditional
music and dances. And elephants!
Text 2
Dear Busama,
Kenya is a big country. We have mountains, the sea and a lot of national parks. I have never
seen the sea. I live in a small village near the Maasai Mara Park. My family are Maasai, so I
speak Maa, but also Swahili and English. There are many languages in Kenya so everybody
learns Swahili and English to communicate. The Maasai people are tall and handsome and
they wear colourful clothes.
For Maasai people, the most important animal is the cow, but we also have many wild
animals in Kenya. There are lions, giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, hippos, elephants and rhinos.
Tourists often come here on safaris. They don’t kill the animals, of course; they just take
hundreds of photos.
I love birds and my favourite dish is matoke – a banana porridge.

b. Some people in Norway believe that evil spirits and witches arrive on Christmas Eve, so they hide their brushes
and brooms in their cupboards. This way the spirits and witches can’t steal them and fly around causing trouble.
c. In the capital city of Venezuela, people put on their roller skates and skate to church on Christmas Eve to attend
Mass. The roads are closed to ensure it is safe for families to enjoy the tradition. After Mass, families get together
in the street or at each other’s house to share food and dance.
d. In Ukraine, people like to put fake spiderwebs on the tree as they believe it brings good luck. The tradition comes
from an old tale about a poor old lady who could not afford to decorate her tree, so it was bare. She woke up on
Christmas day to find a spider had covered it in a beautiful sparkling web.
e. In Guatemala, people believe that the devil lives in the dirty corners of a home, so they spend the week before
Christmas cleaning their house from top to bottom. They put all the rubbish in a big pile outside, with a small devil
statue on top, and set it on fire. The tradition symbolises the start of a new year which is free of evil spirits.
f. In Australia, Christmas is far from traditional. People spend the holidays soaking up the sunshine and enjoying
the ocean. On most beaches, you will spot surfers wearing Santa hats, and riding the waves. In 2015, locals from
Sydney’s Bondi Beach broke the Guinness world record for the biggest surf lesson. A total of 320 people, all
wearing Santa outfits, took part in the lesson and raised a lot of money for a mental health charity.

She takes him out and he makes shadow puppets once again for her and her daughter.
The snowman makes shadow puppets for the young girl with his twig hands.
Many years pass and the young girl is now grown up.
But when she becomes a teenager, she loses interest in the snowman, and he is left in the
freezer.
Suddenly the snowman starts to melt so the young girl puts him in the freezer with a teddy bear
for him to hug.
She goes home and opens the freezer. The snowman is still there.

Study the images and the examples and then answer the questions.
When we talk about routines (activities which we do regularly), we use the Present Simple
tense. We also use words and phrases saying how often we do the activities.
Examples:
• I usually brush my teeth after breakfast.
• She always dries her hair with a towel.
Now, look at the graphics and examples that include phrases with ’every’ and ’time’ and answer the

3. Find two objects that are often wet and make bacteria grow.
• It’s not true that you need hot water to wash your hands well. Scrub your hands for at
least 20 seconds and dry them well. This is more important than the water temperature.
• Don’t brush your teeth right after the meal. The acid from food makes the tooth surface
soft, and you can damage it. Wait at least 30 minutes. Brushing your teeth too hard and
not long enough is another common mistake.
Fight bacteria
• Make sure the shower curtain dries completely and keep towels in a dry place or near a
heater.
• Don’t store medicine in the bathroom – it’s too warm and humid.
• Flush the toilet with the lid down to avoid splashing bacteria around the bathroom. They
can even get to the toothbrushes!

prehistoric people used natural oils or water with ashes from fire to wash.
It was invented in India. The people there mixed some berries and oils and used the mixture
to massage the head and hair. It became popular in the form we know it today (as liquid) less
than 100 years ago.
The Chinese invented it in the 7th century. They used pig hairs in a bamboo stick or in a bone.
It came to Europe a thousand years later.
It appeared in the form we know it only 100 years ago. Long before in many places people

On 23rd June, 2018, 12 boys and their football coach went into a cave underneath a mountain
in Thailand and got trapped inside. How did it happen?
After their football practice, the Wild Boars rode to the hills. They left their bikes and bags
by the cave entrance. They only took their torches with them, planning to spend about an
hour in the cave. They didn’t even tell their parents about their plans. However, they posted
a message on a group chat. When the parents found the boys’ bikes and bags outside the
cave, they decided to call for help.
Deep in the cave, the boys were in trouble. The cave was filling up with water very quickly.
In a few minutes, the way out was flooded. They had to go deeper into the cave to find a high
and safe place. Finally, they found a small shelf. It was dark, wet and cold.

Outside the cave there were hundreds of people – rescuers, volunteers, journalists and

telling them more people would come with food and help later. They recorded the event
on their cameras and posted the video online (3) _________________________________________.
However, the team had to wait for five more days in the cave. The rescue team had
a very difficult task. They had to get 13 people through a four-kilometre-long flooded
system of caves. Oxygen levels in the cave were low and more rain was coming (4)
_________________________________________. There was not much time left.
D.
On 7th July the rescuers made a decision to use divers to reach the boys. 100 divers took part
in the rescue operation. The boys were transported one by one, wearing masks and breathing
air from air tanks. They were given medicine to make them relaxed and calm during the long
journey.
On the way, there were narrow places, where the divers had to take off their air tanks to
get through. In some places, they had to pull the boy up.

3 What is intelligence?
Read the text or listen to the recording and do the tasks. Find out what skills you are good at.
There is no clear definition of intelligence because it is not one thing. Intelligence is a mixture
of different skills such as the ability to learn and the ability to use knowledge to solve practical
problems. Learning involves understanding concepts (eg. time or distance) and noticing
patterns (eg. similarities, differences, repeated parts).
The various skills are often divided into four categories:
• 1 - mathematical (dealing with numbers),
• 2 - verbal (dealing with words),
• 3 - spatial (dealing with space) and
• 4 - logical. If something is logical, it is based on what we know about the world. For
example, if you were born later than your sister, then you are younger than she is.

Unit 12-The logical mind
Now do the tasks below to find out how good you are at the different skills. Can you see the patterns
in Task 1? How do the numbers change? Do they become smaller or bigger? By how much? If you
are good at numbers, you will find the task quite easy.
Task 1 (mathematical/patterns in numbers): What is the next number in each series? Circle the right
number.
Learning foreign languages also involves noticing patterns, especially in word order and word endings.
How good are you at this?
Task 2 (verbal/patterns in language): Here are some words translated from an artificial language (a

such skills to design buildings and engineers need them to move objects in space and predict the
results. Test your spatial skills in Tasks 3 and 4.

Unit 12-The logical mind
For many people intelligence is the same as logical thinking. If you can think logically, you can see
connections between things, such as cause and result. You can predict consequences and draw logical
conclusions. A logical conclusion is an opinion that you have after you look at all the facts . Test your
logical thinking in Task 7.
a. true

4 Reading
1. Your voice is made in the voice box, which is the bony part at the front of your throat. Sometimes it is called an
"Adam’s apple" in men. Inside the voice box, we have the vocal cords. When we breathe out, the air from the
lungs makes the vocal cords move very quickly. This is called vibration and feels a bit like buzzing. If you put your
fingers on your throat and say "ahh", you will feel the vibrations.
2. The voice goes into your mouth and/or nose from your throat. Then, you can change the sound by controlling the
flow of air with your lips, tongue, and teeth. For example, when you say "ahh", your mouth is open and your vocal
cords are vibrating. When you say "eee" or "ooo", the air in your mouth is still vibrating, but the sound you make
is different because you changed the shape of your mouth.
3. However, there are sounds that humans make without using vocal cords. When you say "sss" and "zzz" out loud,
you can feel the difference in vibration in your throat. When you make both sounds, the shape of the mouth and
the location of the tongue, lips, and teeth are the same, but the "s" sound doesn’t use your voice, while the "z"
sound does. When you whisper, you also use your voice differently. Your vocal cords are not vibrating, but you
use air from your lungs and move your mouth, tongue and lips.

vibrate - move very quickly
whisper - speak very quietly

Unit 18-Space exploration
The sentences in group B are in the Present Perfect tense. It is used to talk about past
events when we are interested in the results of the events, and not in the time at which
they happened. It is often used to talk about results, achievements and life experiences.
We never use past time expressions such as on Monday, in January, in 2019 with the
Present Perfect tense. When we mention the time of a past event or when we talk about
people who died, we use the Past Simple.
The Present Perfect tense needs the helping verb HAVE (have, has) and the past
participle form of the main verb (travelled, visited, taken).
For regular verbs, the past participle is the same as the form used in the Past Simple,
which has the ending –ed (landed, walked, played). For irregular verbs, the past participle
is formed in many different ways (taken, done, been, said). You must learn these forms by
heart. Dictionaries list three forms of irregular verbs:

People have always been interested in stars. A thousand years ago sailors used the stars to
find their way at sea. Scientists always wanted to see farther into space. Galileo Galilei, an

Italian scientist, built the first telescope in 1609. He it to discover mountains
on the surface of the moon. He also discovered the rings of Saturn and four of Jupiter’s
2
moons. Since then the telescope a lot. The Hubble telescope, which was
launched in 1990, is the size of a large bus. It completes 15 orbits a day. On 25 December,
2021 the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) was launched. It has a much bigger mirror
and is farther away from Earth than the Hubble telescope.

send the first rockets into space, we also sent animals. The first to go fruit
flies in 1947. They were followed by spiders, monkeys and mice. In 1957, A Soviet rocket
launched the first satellite. It orbited Earth for three months. The first human, Yuri Gagarin,
5
orbited the Earth in 1961. He one orbit in his spacecraft Vostok 1, which
took him one hour and 48 minutes. In 1965, another Russian astronaut, Alexey Leonov left

three Americans left Earth’s orbit and travelled around the Moon. A year later, Neil Armstrong
7

The Universe
The universe is everything that exists: the Earth and everything on it, the moon, the sun and all the
stars. The universe started about 13.8 billion years ago. Stars started to exist 300 million years later
and galaxies 500 million years later. Galaxies contain many stars which move around one point.
Scientists believe there are around 200 billion galaxies in the universe. The Milky Way, where we are,
is a galaxy. There are billions of stars in the Milky Way and more stars in the whole universe. Each star
has at least one planet that revolves around it.
Our sun is in the centre of our solar system in the Milky Way. The solar system contains the sun, the
planets with their moons (about 170 altogether), as well as millions of asteroids and comets. Asteroids,
which are made of rock and metal, are much smaller than planets. Comets are pretty small. They are
made of rock and ice and are usually presented as bright balls with tails. These tails appear when
comets come near the sun. The sun makes them hot and they start to burn.
Earth and all the other planets in the solar system orbit (move around) the sun. This happens because
of a force called gravity – a force with which big objects pull smaller objects. Planets also spin or turn
around. There are eight planets in our system. Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars are rocky planets. They
have a hard surface that you can walk on. Jupiter and Saturn are gas giants and Uranus and Neptune
are ice giants.
Meteor and meteorites are different names for the same thing – small pieces of rock. In Earth’s
atmosphere, they are called meteors, on Earth’s surface, they are meteorites. Meteors heat up when
they enter the atmosphere and they burn. We can see their light. They are called shooting stars. A
large number of shooting stars are called a meteor shower. The best time to see meteor showers in
the sky is August (the Perseids) and November (the Leonids).

James: Hello and welcome to the weekly science programme ‘That’s a Very Good Question’.
My name is James. This week we are talking about space. Our guest is Anna Bono, a
scientist and author of textbooks. Hello, Professor.
Anna: Hello.
James: The first question is from Maria. .. What are Saturn’s rings made of?
Anna: They are made of small pieces of ice and rock. The pieces can be tiny or as big as a
house. The rings look white. Interestingly, each ring orbits the planet at a different
speed.

Unit 19-Looking at the sky
James: Thank you, Professor. The next question comes from Stefano. Why is Venus hotter
than Mercury although it is farther away from the sun? That’s a very good question
indeed.
Anna: Right. Venus is hotter than Mercury, which is much closer to the sun. This is because
Venus has an atmosphere with clouds which trap the heat. It is 464°C for Venus and
only 167°C for Mercury.
James: Here is a question from Malik. How many Earths can fit into the sun?
Anna: If you look at the various pictures showing the solar system, it seems like the Sun is
perhaps twice or three times bigger than Earth. That’s wrong. The sun is much much
bigger than Earth. In fact, one million Earths can fit into the sun.
James: Wow! One million. Now a question from Sofia. What is Pluto?
Anna: For many years scientists believed Pluto was a planet, but now it is put in the category
of a dwarf planet. Dwarf planets are very similar to planets but they are smaller and
have other objects in their orbit. A proper planet has no other objects in its orbit.
James: Olena wants to know this: How many moons has Jupiter got?
Anna: Jupiter has 67 moons. Ganymede, one of its moons, the biggest in our system, is bigger
than Mercury.
James: I’m afraid we have time for only one more question. It was sent by Marek. Do planets
spin at the same speed?
Anna: All planets spin but they spin at different speeds. Do you realize that as we are sitting
here our planet is spinning at the speed of 460 metres per second?! It is also travelling
on its orbit at 30 kilometres per second!
James: It makes me dizzy. Why don’t we all fall off?

Read the text and complete the missing information about the moon in the table below.
The Moon is the brightest and largest object in our night sky. It spins and it also orbits the
Earth. The Moon makes a complete orbit in 27 days and it spins at the same rate. It moves
around the Earth at 1.03 km/s. How fast is that really? It is almost ten times faster than a
plane and faster than a rocket, too. So why do we see it in the same place in the sky for so
long? It is because the Earth spins too! The Moon is about 385,000 km away from the Earth.
It took Apollo 11 four days, six hours and 45 minutes to get to the Moon in 1969. As the
Earth revolves around the Sun, the Moon does the same, so the average distance from the
Sun is the same for both of them – 150 million kilometres. The average temperature on the
sunny side of the Moon is 107 °C, and on the dark side it is -153 °C. The Moon is about three
times smaller than the Earth. Its diameter is 3,475 km.

Tree kangaroos are related to the kangaroo, but they look different and behave
differently. First of all, as the name suggests, they live in trees. They can be found in the
rainforests of Australia and Papua New Guinea. They are slow on the ground but move
fast in the trees. Their sharp claws and long tails help them to stay safe. Tree kangaroos,
like their cousins, can jump very well. They sometimes jump up to 10 metres between
trees. They are also marsupials.
Kangaroo rats are not related to the kangaroo at all. They look like rats or mice, but they
are not related to them either. Kangaroo rats live in underground burrows in the desert of
North America. They eat seeds, which they collect at night. They have adapted to the
desert climate so well that they don’t have to drink water at all. They get it from the
seeds they eat. So why are they called kangaroo rats? It’s probably because of their
strong back legs and the fact that they jump quite well.

After the caterpillar hatches, it spends a lot of time munching leaves and it grows quickly.
After some time, its skin becomes too tight, so the caterpillar sheds it, but it has a new bigger
skin. Then, the caterpillar changes into a pupa, which hangs upside down in a cocoon. The
pupa has to stay still so that no predator can spot it and eat it. Next, the pupa grows wings
inside the cocoon and becomes a butterfly. Finally, the cocoon opens, the butterfly leaves it,
spreads its wings and flies away.

1. The ants and the grasshopper It was a nice summer day. The grasshopper was
playing his guitar. He spent every day like that.
He never did any work. One day, he saw a
group of ants. The ants were working very hard.
They were gathering food for winter. The
grasshopper asked them to stop working and
listen to his music, but they were too busy. The
grasshopper didn’t think about winter. It was
summer and there was plenty of food around.
After a few months, winter came. The ants
were warm in their home with plenty of food
for everyone. The grasshopper was hungry and
cold.
2. The crow and the bottle It was a hot day and the crow was very thirsty.
Suddenly, she saw a bottle under a tree. She sat
on the ground and looked at the bottle. There
was only a little water at the bottom. The crow
tried to reach the water, but she could not. Her
beak was too short. At last, she had an idea.
She collected some stones. Then, she dropped
the stones one by one into the bottle with her
beak. Soon the water came up to the top of the
bottle. Now the crow was able to drink it.
3. The lion and the mouse The lion was sleeping. Suddenly, he woke up
and saw that a mouse was running over his
face. The lion caught the mouse and wanted to
kill her. The mouse said, "Please, don’t kill me, I
am sure I can help you in the future". The lion
laughed at this idea, but let the mouse go. A
few days later, the hunters caught the lion and
tied him to the ground with thick ropes. The
mouse was walking by and saw the lion. She
came and cut the ropes with her sharp teeth.
"Now you can see that even a mouse can help a
lion sometimes."

far ahead, so he stopped for a rest. It was a nice
day, and the hare fell asleep. When the hare
woke up, he ran quickly to the finishing line.
However, the tortoise was already there.
5. The fox and the stork One day, the fox invited the stork to dinner. The
fox served some soup on a plate. She ate the
soup quickly, but the stork couldn’t eat from the
plate with his long beak. The stork was angry
and decided to play a trick on the fox, too. He
invited the fox to dinner the next day. When
she arrived, she saw that the food was served
in a tall, narrow jar. The stork ate the food with
his long beak, but the fox went home hungry.
6. The ant and the dove The ant was walking by the river one day. He
decided to have a drink of water. But when he
was drinking, he fell into the river. A dove was
sitting in a tree. She saw him and threw him a
leaf. The ant climbed on the leaf and floated on
it to the bank. He was safe. A few days later,
the dove was building a nest. The ant was
walking by. He saw a man under the tree. The
man was getting ready to shoot the dove. The
ant ran quickly and bit the man’s leg very hard.
The man cried and dropped his gun. The dove

Part B: read about the two tenses in the table below and put in the missing verbs.
English has more than one past tense which can be used to tell a story. Past simple is
used to talk about the main events of the story. The actions are completed.
Past continuous is used to talk about things that were going on at a specific time in the
past. We don’t know if they were completed or not, or if it is important.
Using different tenses makes the story more interesting. The past simple tense moves the
story forward and the past continuous slows down the action, makes us focus on details,
or describes the situation.
The past continuous uses the auxiliary verb ‘be’ in the past form and the main verb with
the ending –ing.

a. A long time ago, people used to live in small groups, hunting animals for meat and gathering wild food like
vegetables, berries, and fruits. . Since they lived before written history began, we call them
’prehistoric.’
b. At some point, the hunter-gatherers learned to grow their own food and domesticate animals, such as cows, pigs,
chickens and goats. People grew more food than they needed. They stayed in one place and
built villages. Some people started to specialise, or concentrate on becoming experts in one kind of work. One
person learned how to make really good pottery and another person how to weave better cloth.
c. As technology improved and inventions, such as the wheel and irrigation allowed people to grow even more food,
villages grew bigger and became towns and cities. People began trading with people from other cities, and then
with places very far away. . The first writing systems used ’pictograms,’ or pictures of things.
d. Through all of these changes, people developed societies known as ’civilisations.’ . Civilisations
have agriculture, large cities, specialised labour, strong government, well-developed trade, and a written language.
They also have shared values, their own style of architecture and artwork. The first known civilisation developed
over seven thousand years ago, in Mesopotamia.
When we want to talk about things which were different in the past than they are now and
to stress the change, we use the structure ‘used to’ and the base form of the verb.
We can only use ‘used to’ when the activity has stopped.
My mother used to ride a motorbike. (It means she doesn’t ride a motorbike anymore)
We can only use ‘used to’ for activities that were repeated.

in the garden. My mother was born in the village. She and her sister walked 5 kilometres to
school. They didn’t have a computer or even a television. In their free time, they played games
and read books from the library. My mother went to live in a nearby town for her secondary
education. She met my father there. They got married and moved to the capital city. I visited

The man-made toys excavated in India were 4,500 years old. At some point in history,
people started to make toys. In ancient China, children played with kites and yo-yos.
Children in Egypt had dolls with wigs on their heads and movable limbs.

Busama (a girl): This is our music room. There are no chairs because in Thailand traditional musicians
sit on the floor. Music is my favourite subject. I play the saw duang. It looks like a
tall violin. I’m not good at sports or maths. I prefer reading and history. I have two
younger brothers. I am thirteen years old and they are only six and eight, so I am their
big sister. In our school boys and girls wear the same uniforms. You can see them in
the photo. Trousers are very comfortable, but I prefer to wear a dress when it is very
hot. In Thailand it is hot all year and it rains a lot, especially in August and September.
I don’t like rain.
Gatimu (a boy): In Kenya, the weather is very nice. It is never very hot or very cold. That’s why we don’t
need to be inside a building all the time. I like school and our teacher. My favourite
subject is English and computer science. We have a computer room but the internet
is not very good. I love listening to birds and I like it when it rains. After school, I play
football with my friends or help my father with the cows. We have to keep them safe
from lions. I am the only son who lives in the village. My big brothers live in Nairobi
and my sister lives in Sudan with her husband. She is 13 years older than me.
Unit 2
1. Listening for gist
Speaker: Good afternoon, everyone, welcome to our adventure podcast. With winter almost here,
what winter activities do you like doing? Are there any activities you have heard about and
would like to try? Well, today we have some slightly unusual winter activities to tell you
about.
Speaker: So, let’s start with polar bear swimming in Korea. Don’t worry, you don’t actually swim with
the bears. In January, locals jump into the freezing cold water. They then swim eighty metres
to the finish line. They do it to welcome good health in the new year.
Speaker: Do you like go-karting? I know I do, but what about ice-karting? In Finland, instead of driving
around a normal track, you can race around on a frozen lake. The karts have special wheels
to stop you from sliding too much. Before you start racing, you will be provided with some
driving and safety tips, and you must wear a helmet.
Speaker: What about trying the official sport of Alaska? Dog sledging or also known as mushing. A
big team of beautiful husky dogs pull you along on a sledge. The rides can be fast or slow
depending on the experience you want.
Speaker: If you like the snow, you will enjoy the next activity. In Canada, you can try snow tubing. You
go down the slopes in a big tube. It is very easy to do and a lot of fun. You can also connect
a few tubes so you can go down the slopes with other people.
Speaker: The last one is for you if you are creative. It is called snow tagging, an activity where you
create big pictures or write messages in the snow. You use your feet to draw the design and
then stand back and admire your skills. It is even better if you can look down on your design
from a higher place.
Speaker: So, do any of these activities sound fun to you? Which one would you like to try? Let us
know in the comments.
Speaker: Thank you for listening to our podcast today, we hope you enjoyed it.

Nadia: Hello.
Host: Welcome and good luck. Remember, you must give your answer when you hear the buzzer.
Do you understand?
Host: Question number 1. How many bones are there in a foot? A – eight, B – twelve, or C –
twenty-six?
Nadia: Ummm ... I’m sure there are more than eight. (BUZZ). Twelve... No!
Host: I’m sorry. The answer is C. There are 26 bones in a foot. Number 2. How much of the human
body is water? A – 60 per cent, B – 70 per cent, C – 80 per cent?
Host: Wrong again. We often say we are 70% water, but it is closer to 60%. It is an average, of
course. Some organs have more water and some have less. Question 3. What is the biggest
and heaviest organ in the body? A – the skin, B – the heart, C – the lungs?
Nadia: The lungs are bigger than the heart, I think, err... The skin. Yay! Yes, yes, yes!
Host: That’s right! The skin is the largest organ. It covers your whole body and weighs up to 4
kilogrammes. Well done. The next question. 4. How many times do you blink in a minute?
A – five times, B – 15 times, or C – 30 times?
Host: That’s correct! Let’s hope you get the next one, too. Question 5. Where is the smallest bone
that you have? Is it A – in the little finger, B – in the nose, C – in the ear?
Nadia: The ear is the smallest of the three, so I’ll go for the ear. The ear.
Host: Very good. The three smallest bones in our body are in the middle ear. Next question. How
big is the smallest bone? Is it A – one millimetre, B – five millimetres, C – ten millimetres?
Host: Yes! You’re right. Question number 7. How tall was the tallest man ever? A – 272 cm, B –
265 cm, C – 254 cm?
Host: Right again! The last question. Where is blood made? A – in your heart, B – in your lungs,
or C – in your bones?
Nadia: I’m not sure but I think there is some connection between blood and bones. My answer is
C. In the bones.
Host: Congratulations!

Marsha: ... errr... I have no idea. I think I see it flush, so the lid must be open.
Unit 4
1. What is the limit?
Speaker: The human body must have three things to live - oxygen, food and water. We have to breathe,
drink and eat. If we stop breathing, drinking or eating, we die. There is a simple rule of three
which says: 3 minutes without oxygen, 3 days without water, 3 weeks without food. Of
course, you have heard stories about people who didn’t breathe or didn’t eat for much longer
but the rule is true for most people, like you and me.
Speaker: We can’t live very long without oxygen. Most of us can hold our breath for about 1 minute.
After 2 or 3 minutes most people pass out. However, you don’t die immediately. You survive
as long as there is oxygen in your blood. If you don’t get help and your brain doesn’t get
oxygen, it stops working after 5 minutes. So what about all those records? Well, it is possible
to hold your breath longer than 3 minutes if you lie face down in water and don’t move. In
this position, your heart slows down and you need less oxygen. This is how Stephane Mifsud
broke his record of 11 min, 35 sec without breathing. If you take a breath of pure oxygen
before the challenge, you can hold your breath even longer. Alexi Segura held his breath for
24 min, 3sec, in 2016. Please, don’t try to do that!
Speaker: Why do we need water? What happens if we don’t drink? Most people live up to 7 days, but
it depends on the temperature of the air. If it is hot, we lose more water because we sweat.
Doing exercise in very hot weather without drinking is very dangerous. Without water our
blood becomes thick, so it moves more slowly. The heart must work harder to move it, so it
beats faster. As a result the brain gets less oxygen and it works more slowly, so we cannot
think well. That’s why we need to drink a lot of water when we study!
Speaker: And what happens if you don’t eat? Most people survive for 1 to 2 months, 30 - 40 days
on average. At first you hear your stomach making noises. Then you start losing body fat
and become weak. After that, your body starts to eat itself to keep the brain alive: first the
muscles, then the organs, until you die. If you happen to be overweight, you can survive
longer because you have a lot of body fat. And if you take vitamins, you can survive even
longer. How much longer? Angus Barbieri didn’t eat solid food for 382 days! When he started
his diet he weighed 207 kg and when he finished he weighed 118 kg less.
Unit 5
1. Listening: The Tham Luang cave rescue story
Speaker: On 23 June, 2018, 12 boys and their football coach went into a cave underneath a mountain
in Thailand and got trapped inside. How did it happen? After their football practice, the Wild
Boars rode to the hills. They left their bikes and bags by the cave entrance. They only took
their torches with them, planning to spend about an hour in the cave. They didn’t even tell
their parents about their plans. However, they posted a message on a group chat. When the
parents found the boys’ bikes and bags outside the cave, they decided to call for help. Deep
in the cave, the boys were in trouble. The cave was filling up with water very quickly. In a
few minutes, the way out was flooded. They had to go deeper into the cave to find a high
and safe place. Finally, they found a small shelf. It was dark, wet and cold. (a) They had no
food but they drank water from the cave walls. They stayed close together to keep warm.
The coach taught the boys meditation techniques to help them stay calm. He told them to
move as little as possible to save air and to save their energy.
Speaker: Outside the cave there were hundreds of people – rescuers, volunteers, journalists and
families – all of them ready to help. The rescue teams didn’t know if the boys were still
alive, where they were or how to get them out. The rescuers looked for other entrances to
the cave. They also thought about making holes in the rock and about looking for the boys
using drones. All the time, engineers tried to pump the water out and the divers explored the
cave. The whole world watched.
Speaker: On 2 July, two British divers found the boys and the coach about 4 km away from the cave
entrance. Amazingly, all of them were alive. The two divers spent some time with the boys,
telling them more people would come with food and help later. They recorded the event on
their cameras and posted the video online. The whole world watched the video, amazed but
happy. However, the team had to wait for 5 more days in the cave.The rescue team had a
very difficult task. They had to get 13 people through a 4 km-long flooded system of caves.
Oxygen levels in the cave were low and more rain was coming. The local people said that by
10 July the caves were usually completely flooded. There was not much time left.
Speaker: On 7 July the rescuers made a decision. 100 divers took part in the rescue operation. The
boys were transported one by one, wearing masks and breathing air from air tanks. They
were given medicine to make them relaxed and not afraid during the long journey. On the
way, there were narrow places, where the divers had to take off their air tanks to get through.
At some places, they had to pull the boy up. (e) Rescuing one boy took about 8 hours. The last
of the boys left the cave on 10 July. The adventure, which lasted much longer than planned,
found its happy ending.
Speaker 1: They asked for pad krapao. This is a rice dish with meat stir-fried with basil. But it was too
dangerous. I gave them only medicated liquid food, and water with added vitamins.
Speaker 2 : Then I saw them in the light of my torch. I was amazed to find them all alive. They looked
thin and tired but in good shape.
Speaker 3: I was cold and very hungry. We only drank the water dripping from the walls because it
was clean. When I slept, I dreamt about food.
Speaker 4: I dived to check if we could get out but it was impossible. I knew we were trapped but I
didn’t tell them. They needed to hear something positive. I told them we had to wait for
the water to go down.

Narrator: First, I will take the goat because the cabbages will be safe with the wolf. I will leave the goat
on the other side and come back alone. Then I will take the cabbages. I will leave them on
the other side and take the goat back. I will leave the goat and take the wolf across the river.
Finally, I will come back for the goat.
3. Logical consequences
Speaker: Short form of will: If I don’t take an umbrella, I’ll get wet.
Speaker: Negative form of will: If I get up early, I won’t miss the bus.
Unit 2
1. Presenting a personal profile
Harry: I love doing sports! I prefer playing sports to watching sports. Watching sports on television
is boring. I enjoy playing tennis and riding a bike but my favourite sport is swimming.
Harry: I’m not very good at science. I hate doing experiments at school and I don’t like writing tests.
I prefer when the teacher asks me questions. I think I can explain things well. I’m learning
to make computer presentations.
Harry: I want to be a musician. I can play the drums and sing. I would like to play in a band. I’m
planning to look for people who want to start a band.
Unit 3
1. Listening: this is my hobby
1. (woman): It’s so messy! Clay is everywhere. Even in my hair. But I’m very happy when the vase or
plate is ready. And I like the fact that I can change the shape of the vase or pot as many
times as I want and I can correct my mistakes.
2. (boy): I like mixing different colours. I’m learning a lot about light and how to use it make things
look more real. I study works of great masters like Leonardo da Vinci and Rafael.
3. (boy): When I started to learn, my fingers really hurt. You know, the strings are made of metal
and they are really hard. The neck was too wide for me, too. Now it’s not a problem
anymore. I can play for hours and hours. The only person who seems to have a problem
now is my neighbour.
4. (girl): I have to be very fit and I use a lot energy. I practise for many hours every day. I have to
watch what I eat and stay slim. The thing I love most is thinking of new moves that match
the music.
5. (man): The wood is very warm and soft. I like the yellow and brown colours. You can find wood
that is almost white or very dark, too.
6. (woman): I must take care of my voice, so I never drink anything cold. I practise every day in my
studio.
7. (man): I spent a lot of time drawing the design and choosing the right materials before I start.
Some of the materials are very expensive. The last piece was made of silver.
8. (girl): It’s very noisy and takes up a lot of space so I cannot practise at home.
2. Modern art
Speaker: Piet Mondrian was a painter. He was born in the Netherlands, but he lived in many countries.
He tried different styles of painting, but in the end, he created his own style. He called it
neoplasticism. A painting in this style usually uses only the primary colours, red, blue and
yellow, on a white background with straight black lines. One of his most famous paintings is
called ‘Broadway Boogie Woogie’. Broadway is in New York, where Mondrian lived. Boogie
Woogie is a kind of music.

PART 4
Unit 1
Speaker: People have always been interested in stars. A thousand years ago sailors used the stars to
find their way at sea. Scientists always wanted to see farther into space. Galileo Galilei, an
Italian scientist, built the first telescope in 1609. He used it to discover mountains on the
moon. He also discovered the rings of Saturn and four of Jupiter’s moons. Since then the
telescope has changed a lot. The Hubble telescope, which was launched in 1990, is the size
of a large bus. It completes 15 orbits a day. On 25 December, 2021, the James Webb Space
Telescope (JWST) was launched. It has a much bigger mirror and is farther away from Earth
than the Hubble telescope.
Speaker: People have used rocket engines for hundreds of years. As soon as we were able to send the
first rockets into space, we also sent animals. The first to go were fruit flies in 1947. They
were followed by spiders, monkeys and mice. In 1957, A Soviet rocket launched the first
satellite. It orbited Earth for three months. The first human, Yuri Gagarin, orbited the Earth in
1961. He made one orbit in his spacecraft Vostok 1, which took him one hour and 48 minutes.
In 1965, another Russian astronaut, Alexey Leonov, left his spacecraft and took a ‘spacewalk’.
He floated in space for 12 minutes. In 1968 three Americans left Earth’s orbit and travelled
around the Moon. A year later, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed and walked on the
Moon. Since then more people have landed there. We are hoping to send people to Mars
one day, but so far we have only sent spacecraft to the red planet. The first one landed on
Mars in 2008. There are six rovers on Mars now.
3. Practice
Speaker: In 1969, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked on the Moon. Since then more people have
landed there. We are hoping to send people to Mars one day but so far we have only sent
spacecraft to the Red planet. The first one landed on the surface of Mars in 2008.
Speaker 1: ... I saw three last night! One was really fast. It moved across the sky very quickly. And it
didn’t make any noise, of course. Not like planes.
Speaker 2: ... I did it when I was on a summer camp. It was only one hundred metres. And yes, most
of the kids were faster than me.
Speaker 3: ... It was my big sister’s wedding and my parents thought it was a good idea. They wrote
the speech but I didn’t like it much. And I didn’t speak, really – I just read it.
Unit 2
Narrator: The universe is everything that exists: the Earth and everything on it, the moon, the sun and
all the stars. The universe started about 13.8 billion years ago. Stars started to exist 300
million years later and galaxies 500 million years later.
Narrator: Galaxies contain many stars which move around one point. Scientists believe there are
around 200 billion galaxies in the universe. The Milky Way, where we are, is a galaxy. There
are billions of stars in the Milky Way and more stars in the whole universe.
Narrator: Each star has at least one planet that revolves around it. Our sun is in the centre of our
solar system in the Milky Way. The solar system contains the sun, the planets with their
moons (about 170 altogether), as well as millions of asteroids and comets. Asteroids, which
are made of rock and metal, are much smaller than planets. Comets are pretty small.
Narrator: They are made of rock and ice and are usually presented as bright balls with tails. These tails
appear when comets come near the sun. The sun makes them hot and they start to burn.
Earth and all the other planets in the solar system orbit (move around) the sun.
Narrator: This happens because of a force called gravity – a force with which big objects pull smaller
objects. Planets also spin or turn around. There are eight planets in our system. Mercury,
Venus, Earth and Mars are rocky planets. They have a hard surface that you can walk on.
Jupiter and Saturn are gas giants and Uranus and Neptune are ice giants.
Narrator: Meteor and meteorites are different names for the same thing – small pieces of rock. In
Earth’s atmosphere, they are called meteors, on Earth’s surface, they are meteorites. Meteors
heat up when they enter the atmosphere and they burn. We can see their light. They are
called shooting stars. A large number of shooting stars are called a meteor shower. The best
time to see meteor showers in the sky is August (the Perseids) and November (the Leonids).
5. Listening: podcast
James: Hello and welcome to the weekly science programme ‘That’s a Very Good Question’. My
name is James. This week we are talking about space. Our guest is Anna Bono, a scientist
and author of textbooks. Hello, Professor.
Anna: Hello.
James: The first question is from Maria. ... What are Saturn’s rings made of?
Anna: They are made of small pieces of ice and rock. The pieces can be tiny or as big as a house.
The rings look white. Interestingly, each ring orbits the planet at a different speed.
James: Thank you, Professor. The next question comes from Stefano. Why is Venus hotter than
Mercury although it is farther away from the sun? That’s a very good question indeed.
Anna: Right. Venus is hotter than Mercury, which is much closer to the sun. This is because Venus
has an atmosphere with clouds which trap the heat. It is 464°C for Venus and only 167°C
for Mercury.
James: Here is a question from Malik. How many Earths can fit into the sun?
Anna: If you look at the various pictures showing the solar system, it seems like the Sun is perhaps
twice or three times bigger than Earth. That’s wrong. The sun is much much bigger than
Earth. In fact, one million Earths can fit into the sun.
James: Wow! One million. Now a question from Sofia. What is Pluto?
Anna: For many years scientists believed Pluto was a planet, but now it is put in the category of a
dwarf planet. Dwarf planets are very similar to planets but they are smaller and have other
objects in their orbit. A proper planet has no other objects in its orbit.
James: Olena wants to know this: How many moons has Jupiter got?
Anna: Jupiter has 67 moons. Ganymede, one of its moons, the biggest in our system, is bigger than
Mercury.
James: I’m afraid we have time for only one more question. It was sent by Marek. Do planets spin
at the same speed?
Anna: All planets spin but they spin at different speeds. Do you realize that as we are sitting here
our planet is spinning at the speed of 460 metres per second?! It is also travelling on its orbit
at 30 kilometres per second!
Unit 3
1. The International Space Station
Narrator: The Space Station flies 400 kilometres above Earth. We can see it at night as a bright light
moving across the sky. It moves at a speed of 28,000km/h. How fast is it? Well, it takes the
station only 90 minutes to make one orbit around our planet. It means the station circles the
Earth 16 times each day – that is in every 24 hours.
Narrator: The station is 108 metres long – as big as a football field. Large solar panels, which turn
sunlight into electricity, provide energy for the station. The temperature inside is usually 22
degrees Celsius, so it’s never too cold or too hot. Unlike, the temperature outside, which can
be as high as 121 degrees and as low as minus 157 degrees.
Narrator: 256 people from 20 different countries have visited the station so far. There are between 3
and 6 astronauts on the station at one time and they usually stay on a mission for 6 months.
However, sometimes it can be much longer. Scott Kelly stayed in the station for 340 days.
The astronauts are very busy, working inside and outside the station. They have done 249
spacewalks and about 3,000 experiments and they are doing more every day.
PART 5
Unit 1
Narrator: Earth is the third planet from the sun. You probably already know a lot about the planet Earth
because Earth is the planet where we live! Although it is the largest of the inner planets, the
four rocky planets that orbit nearest the sun, the Earth is far, far smaller than the four gas
giants that circle the outer edges of the solar system. The Earth is also the first planet when
travelling out from the sun to have a moon, and the only planet in the solar system to have
only one moon.
Narrator: The Earth is unique among the planets of the solar system, because Earth is the only planet
that has liquid water on its surface. Other planets are either too hot - causing all their water
to evaporate into gases, or too cold, causing any water they have to freeze into ice. The
earth is about 93 million miles, or 150 million kilometres, away from the sun, which keeps it
at just the right temperature to have liquid water - and the earth has a LOT of water! More
than 70% of the Earth’s surface is covered by oceans. That means that the oceans are more
than twice the size of all the land on Earth. Because Earth has so much water on it, it is
sometimes called the ’blue planet.’ Liquid water is what allows life to exist on earth. As far
as we know, Earth is the only place that life exists. Millions of species of plants and animals
call the planet earth home, including humans.
Narrator: Earth’s atmosphere is another important feature. The atmosphere is a thick layer of gases
that covers the entire earth. It is mostly made of nitrogen and oxygen. The atmosphere is
what allows us to breathe. It also helps keep the earth warm by acting like a blanket to hold in
the sun’s heat. Another way the atmosphere helps us is by protecting the earth from harmful
radiation from the sun, and also from meteors. Anything falling to the earth from space is
rubbed against the gases in the atmosphere until they burn. Most things burn up completely
before they reach the surface, but even anything that makes it through is much smaller by
the time it hits the ground.
Narrator: The earth goes around the sun. The time it takes to go around the sun is called a year. It
takes the earth about 365 days to travel around the sun once: that is why a year is usually
365 days. The earth also rotates, or spins. The time it takes for the earth to rotate once is
called a day. The earth rotates every 24 hours, and that is why a day is 24 hours long. The
earth does not rotate straight up and down: it is tilted. There is an imaginary line through
the earth from the north pole to the south pole, called the earth’s axis, and this axis is tilted
about 23 degrees. Why is it important that the earth is tilted? Well, the tilt of the earth’s
axis is what causes the seasons! When a part of the earth is tilted towards the sun, it will be
summer there. When it is tilted away from the sun, it will be winter instead.
Narrator: The inside of the earth is very different from the outside. If you were to cut the Earth in half,
you could see that it is made up of different layers. The outermost layer, called the crust,
is where we live. The earth’s crust is cool and solid. Everything you see - trees, mountains,
rivers, houses, and even the oceans, are sitting on top of the earth’s crust. The crust is so thick
that humans have never been able to dig deep enough to break through it, but the crust is
only a thin layer on the surface of the earth. Underneath the crust is the mantle. The mantle
is a thick layer of molten rock, or magma. It is the thickest layer of the earth. Sometimes
magma from the mantle will come up to the surface through volcanoes. The core is at the
very centre of the earth, and it is very, very hot, with a temperature of thousands of degrees.
It is made of metal, mostly iron and nickel, and even though it is very hot it is under so much
pressure that it is solid.
Narrator: The earth is important to us because it is our home. About seven billion people live on the
Earth right now, as well as millions of species of plants and animals. So far, we have not
found any other planet in the entire universe that would make a good home for us, so it is
important that we take care of the planet we have.
Speaker: The rocky planets are closer to the sun and much smaller than the four gas planets.
Speaker: Because of its distance from the sun, the temperature on Earth is not too hot and not too
cold.
Speaker: Earth is the only planet that has liquid water and an atmosphere with air.
Speaker: The temperature, water and the air in the atmosphere make life on Earth possible.
Speaker: There are millions of species of plants and animals on the blue planet.
Speaker: A day on Earth has 24 hours - it is how long it takes Earth to rotate or spin once.
Speaker: A year has 365 days – it is how long it takes Earth to go around the sun.
Speaker: Earth has seasons because different parts of the planet are close to the sun at different times
during the year.
Unit 2
1. The climates of the world
Speaker: Tropical climates are one of the major climates on earth. They cover about one third of the
earth’s land surface. Tropical climates are categorised by high temperatures all year round
and they get lots and lots of rain. Tropical climates are sometimes called equatorial climates
because they are located close to the equator. Some tropical climates include the Amazon
basin in Brazil, the Congo basin in Africa and many of the forests from Indonesia, Malaysia and
Thailand. Tropical rainforests don’t have four seasons like many other land climates. Instead,
they have a wet season and a dry season. Many of the world’s rainforests are located in
tropical climates. These warm and moist forests are the most diverse land habitats on earth.
They’re home to millions of different kinds of plants and animals, many of which are still to be
discovered. Sadly, tropical rainforests are being cut down for timber or burned and cleared
to make way for farms, roads and cities. It’s really important that we protect these tropical
forests, so the millions of plants and animals that live there will be around forever.
Speaker: Polar climates are very far from the equator, and they are cold all year round. There are cool
summers and very cold winters. There aren’t many trees, and the ground is often covered in
ice. Polar regions get less direct heat and sunlight from the sun compared to temperate and
tropical regions. There are very long days in summer and very short days in winter.
Speaker: Temperate climates are located between tropical climates and the earth’s poles. Temperate
climates usually have four seasons; summer, fall, winter and spring. The temperature can
change a lot from day to day and also from season to season. It may snow in the winter and
get as hot as 40 degrees Celsius in summer. Precipitation is lower than in tropical climates
but it may rain throughout the year.
Narrator: This is Earth. Maybe you’ve heard of it? I sure hope so, because you live on one of its
seven continents! This one is the coldest, the windiest, and the driest. You better huddle
up, because we’re headed to Antarctica. It’s the fifth largest continent, and it’s full of snow
and ice. Antarctica is also the world’s biggest desert. Deserts aren’t just hot sand and sun.
Any climate that has little to no precipitation, better known as rain, is considered a desert.
For example, the famous Sahara Desert in Africa gets about 3 inches of rain a year, while
Antarctica averages just 2 inches. Instead of the rain soaking into the ground, artic rain
turns into snow and piles up. Winter temperatures can drop to between 14 and negative 22
degrees. But don’t worry, summer temperatures can warm up to highs of around 32 degrees
Fahrenheit.
Narrator: Thousands of tourists travel to Antarctica every year to see amazing animals and more. Let’s
start with the Antarctic ice sheet. It’s massive, the largest single piece of ice in the world,
covering more than 5 million square miles. Rising above the ice is the southernmost active
volcano in the world, Mount Erebus. Swirling inside the volcano is one of the world’s only
molten lakes made of lava.
Narrator: Antarctica is a cold and icy place, making it the perfect home for wildlife. Vegetation like
lichen, moss, and algae have adapted to life above the ice, along with a few different types
of seabirds, including one of the most popular in Antarctica, the penguin. And below the ice
are some of the most amazing and diverse marine wildlife on the planet, including seals,
octopuses, and whales, making Antarctica one of the best places for scientific research.
Dozens of countries from around the world have set up their own research stations here,
studying everything from climate change to meteors from outer space. It’s the harshest
environment on the planet, cold, dry, and barren, but scientists and explorers have been
braving this continent since the early 1900s, and there’s still more to discover under the ice
and snow of Antarctica.
Unit 3
1. The seven continents of the world
Speaker: Asia is the biggest continent and Africa is the second biggest. They are followed by North
America, South America, Antarctica, and Europe. Australia is the smallest continent.
Speaker: 1. What is the name of the highest mountain on earth? a. Mount Everest or b. Mont Blanc?
Speaker: 3. What river flows through South America? a. the Rio Grande or b. the Amazon?
Speaker: 4. Which is the longest river in the world? a. the Nile or b. the Amazon?
Speaker: 5. How deep is the deepest lake in the world? a. 1620 m or b. 885 m?
Speaker: 10. How many countries are there in the Sahara Desert? a. four or b. ten?
Narrator: This is Earth. Maybe you’ve heard of it. I sure hope so because you live on one of its seven
continents. Guess which continent is the hottest? That’s right. You guessed it. Africa is
home to the largest desert in the world, The Sahara. It’s massive. Its total area spans over 3
million square miles. It’s the size of an entire country. Seriously. It’s almost the size of the
United States. But Africa isn’t all sand and dunes. Not by a long shot. A little way south of
the Sahara is the Congo Rainforest. It’s the second-largest rainforest in the world, and it’s
full of life. Mammals, birds, amphibians, and close to 10,000 species of plants.
Narrator: Let’s take a quick trip to the African Savanna to check out all the wildlife. This tropical
grassland covers almost 65% of Africa. And where there’s grass, there are herbivores, also
known as plant eaters. Zebras, elephants, giraffes, and gazelles all graze off the land in large
herds for safety because these herbivores live alongside predators. The big cats aren’t the
only carnivores in town. Crocodiles roam near the banks of the shore. Hyenas and wild
dogs also roam this continent in search of their next meal. Millions of people come to visit
the Savanna every year to see these amazing animals in their natural habitat. Rain or shine.
Because the Savanna has only two seasons. Wet... and dry. It’s not just wildlife that lives
here.
Narrator: There’s another animal who shares this beautiful continent. Humans. It’s hard to believe
that one of the oldest civilizations on Earth began in Africa. In Ancient Egypt to be exact–
dating back over 5,000 years. Today, there are over 1 billion people living on the continent
of Africa in 56 different countries, speaking over 1,500 languages, living in large cities and
small villages. All are residents of the second-largest continent on Earth... Africa
Unit 4
1. Talking about directions
Narrator: There are three small countries north of Brazil. Guyana is east of Venezuela. Suriname is
between Guyana and French Guyana.
Jasmine: The Republic of Chile is a South American country that lies between the Andes mountains and
the Pacific Ocean. It’s the longest narrowest country in the world. Hi, I’m Jasmine Rodrigez.
I’m a Curious Kids ambassador. I’m not from Chile but I live to travel and I hope to go there
one day.
Jasmine: Chile is far away from Florida and has some very different climates. In the north of the country,
there is believed to be the world’s driest desert – the Atacama. In the sub-arctic south, there
are ice fields and glaciers. Oh, did I mention volcanoes? There are quite a few of those. The
Lahuen Nadi National Monument Park in the south of Chile is a protected area like Florida
Everglades.
Jasmine: One of my favourite animals lives in Chile. The llama is one of the four species known as the
New World’s camelids, which inhabit the high mountains of the South American Andes. Yes,
they are related to the camel, although they don’t have a hump.
Jasmine: Originally domesticated by the indigenous Quechua people, llamas were almost destroyed
in the early 1500s with the Spanish conquest of that region because the Spanish replaced
them with sheep. Alpacas are famous for their fine hair, and the vicunas and guanacos are
now protected.
Jasmine: There is a lot more to learn about Chile but I’m out of time.

Audio: -1-
Mark: I’m so excited. It’s an amazing place. We’re leaving tomorrow morning.
Mother: Have you packed some warm clothes? It’ll be cold there.
Mother: Remember to clean your shoes after the walk. Salt can ruin them.
Audio: -2-
Katia: It was so relaxing. They were so beautiful. They weren’t frightened of us, and they came very
close. And there were thousands and thousands of them! The colours were amazing, too.
Their yellow bodies in the blue water. And getting there was really exciting. We travelled by
speedboat!
Audio: -3-
Pierre: Minus 15. And I was worried the ice was too thin.
Pierre: Exactly! Can you believe it! I was terrified when I saw the little bus on the ice. Our driver
was quite amused. The ice forms were great, though. Some pieces looked like animals or
even people. Fascinating! It’s a shame they disappear when spring comes.
PART 6
Unit 1
Speaker: 3. Birds that swim have feet with a web between their toes, they are called webbed feet.
Speaker: 4. Monkeys have hands which they can use to do a lot of things. They are very similar to
human hands.
Speaker: 5. This is a bear’s paw with sharp and strong claws at the end.
Speaker: 6. Many animals have tails at the end of their bodies. Tails can look very different. This is a
horse’s tail.
Speaker: 7. Fish use fins to swim in water. Some of the fins are on the top part of their body. This is a
shark’s fin.
Speaker: 8. Fish also have tails at the end of their bodies. This is a shark’s tail.
Speaker: 9. Seals use flippers to swim, and sometimes to walk on land too. A flipper has bones inside
and is much harder and stronger than a fin.
Speaker: 11. All birds have beaks but toucans’ beaks are really big and also very colourful.
Speaker: 12. The albatross have the largest wings of all birds. They can measure up to 3.7 metres.
2. Kangaroos
Narrator: And now it’s time for some more "amazing animals"! Number 8,999: the amazing
eastern grey kangaroo! Or macropus giganteus...
Kangaroo: Oi mate!
Kangaroo: Ohhh!
Narrator: They’re extremely adaptable and enjoy nibbling on grass, which is why they love this
golf course...
Narrator: The male kangaroos can be taller than most adult humans.
Kangaroo: Sheilas!
Narrator: Sorry, sheilas are around, they’re ready to fight for their attention.
Kangaroo: Feet?
Kangaroo: Tails?
Kangaroo 2: Aww, I think I’m just gonna sit this one out!
Narrator: Meanwhile the females are very busy looking After their babies or "joeys".
Sometimes they can be looking after three all at once! And because they are
marsupials, they have a convenient pouch to carry their young.
Narrator: There might be millions of these bouncing beasts, but the eastern grey kangaroo is
a...
Unit 2
1. A metamorphosis
Narrator: Butterflies. They are some of the most magical insects you can see in the environment. Their
wings look like beautiful artworks, and they come in all the colours of the rainbow. But did
you know that the beautiful butterflies you see actually used to be caterpillars? Now you
might be wondering - how did they change from a tiny wriggly worm-looking insect to a
stunning butterfly? Well, you’re about to find out.
Narrator: The life cycle of a butterfly has four stages. It all begins when a female butterfly lays her
eggs. Inside these eggs, caterpillars begin to grow. Once an egg is ready, it hatches and
out comes a larva, also known as a caterpillar. The caterpillar leaves its egg behind, finds a
leaf and starts eating, and eating, and eating. You might have seen a caterpillar in a garden
munching away. As a caterpillar grows, its skin becomes too tight for its growing body. The
caterpillar sheds this old skin because underneath there is a new bigger skin, which is much
more comfortable. This process of shedding skin is called moulting. Now it’s time for the
caterpillar to begin changing into a pupa.
Narrator: The pupa stage is pretty uneventful because all they really do is hang upside down in a
cocoon. A cocoon is also called a chrysalis. The pupa needs to stay really still, so predators
don’t spot it wriggling around and eat it for dinner. This is the stage where the caterpillar
begins to grow its wings. The last stage is when the adult butterfly breaks free. It slowly
comes out of its cocoon and spreads its beautiful wings getting ready to take flight. Once
it’s ready, it will fly off and eventually lay its own eggs starting the cycle all over again.
Narrator: As you can see the caterpillar goes through a number of changes before it reaches the final
stage of being a butterfly. This spectacular physical transformation is called metamorphosis.
Metamorphosis is said to have occurred when an animal transforms from its young form into
its adult form.
Narrator: The frog also goes through metamorphosis. It transforms from an egg to a tadpole, then
slowly grows arms and legs, and transforms into an adult frog. Can you think of any other
animals or insects that go through special stages to grow into an adult? What about you?
Have you gone through some physical changes since you were born?
Narrator: How a tadpole becomes a frog. Mom lays eggs. Dad watches over them to keep them safe
from predators. They develop over time. Day 1, 2, .... 14. When they’re ready to hatch, they
begin a whole new adventure. The transformation is called a metamorphosis. ... His limbs
will develop internally and spring out at the last minute. He still has some growing to do over
the next few weeks. He’ll lose his tail by absorbing it back into his body. (It’s a good food
source!). Then he’ll be ready to explore land.
Unit 3
1. To eat or to be eaten?
Speaker: Predators eat other animals. They use different skills and different methods to catch, kill and
eat their prey.
Speaker: Cats spend a lot of time looking for something to eat. When they find it, they can patiently
wait for a mouse to leave its hiding place.
Speaker: They can sit still for a long time to make sure the bird doesn’t see them before they are ready
to attack it. Most birds manage to escape. That’s why you find more dead mice on your
doorstep than dead birds.
Speaker: Lions choose their prey carefully. They usually chase weak or sick zebras. They don’t want
to fight with a strong zebra that can defend itself using its hard hooves.
Speaker: Spiders don’t use speed or strength when they hunt; they trap insects in their sticky webs.
This is what predator plants like the Venus flytrap do as well.
Speaker: Prey animals use a lot of ways to protect themselves. They hide in burrows, run in zig zags,
and pretend to be dead.
2. Masters of camouflage
Narrator: Both predatory and prey animals disguise themselves with the help of colours, patterns,
by imitating objects or even other animals! How do animals disguise themselves in order
not to be detected by prey or predators? (Camouflage Colours). Many animals match
their background to avoid being discovered by predators. For example, the snowshoe hare
matches with the snow. Or the green frog the green moss. The doe is just as grey-brown as its
surroundings. And the crab spider is as white as the flower on which it is sitting. (Camouflage
Patterns). Some animals use dots, stripes, or patterns as a camouflage. This way it is much
more difficult to recognise their outlines. For example, the leopard. And the owl. Sea turtles
also have confusing patterns on head and legs. How does this work for the zebra? In a herd
of zebras, individual animals are difficult to recognise. Yet, the stripes do not primarily serve
as camouflage. Scientists have found out that they help to keep away mosquitoes, make it
easier to handle the tropical heat and enable the animals to identify each other.
Narrator: (Imitation of objects). Some animals imitate objects. A twig, for example. You won’t notice
that there is a leaf tail gecko until it starts moving. The leafy sea dragon imitates seaweed.
By the way: The word mimesis is a Greek word meaning “imitation”. The octopus can match
the colour of rocks and corals within seconds. It changes its colour from a bright red to an
unflashy grey-brown. These animals are true magicians! (Imitation of other animals). Some
animals imitate other dangerous, poisonous or inedible species. For example, hoverflies
mimic the look of wasps. This mimic octopus seems to consist of several dangerous water
snakes. If an animal imitates another one, this is also called mimicry. This crocodile fish, for
instance, looks like a dangerous crocodile, but it is absolutely harmless.
Narrator: How do animals disguise themselves? They use colours and patterns, imitate objects or other
animals.
Unit 4
1. Warm up
Speaker: Look at the animals. Watch how they move. Can you describe the ways they move? Animals
can walk and run. They can crawl, slither and slide. Animals can jump and hop. Some can fly.
Other animals can swim. Can you think of some other ways that animals move?
Speaker: Did you know that the fastest bird is the peregrine falcon? This bird of prey can reach up to
400 kilometres per hour whilst free-falling. Wow, it’s so fast! Poor dove if it were to cross its
path. On the other hand, the American woodcock is the slowest bird on the planet, flying at
a mere speed of eight kilometres per hour. Oh, check out his cute little babies.
Speaker: Did you know that the fastest land bird is the ostrich? This huge bird, actually the largest in
the world, cannot fly, but it can reach up to 70 kilometres per hour running. It’s faster than
a moped. This tiny hummingbird also holds an impressive record. Besides being the smallest
bird, it can also flap its wings 200 times per second, or, in other words, 12 000 times in a
minute. Incredible! They beat so fast that you can hardly even see them. It looks as if they’re
floating in the air while eating.
Speaker: And did you know that the penguin is the aquatic bird champion? Penguins can’t fly, and on
land they are rather clumsy, but they are incredible in water. Some species can reach the
speed of 36 kilometres per hour. They swim four times faster than humans can, but the most
impressive penguin is the emperor penguin. A person can dive to a depth of 260 meters,
whereas this penguin species dives 535 meters deep, and can hold its breath for 5 to 18
minutes. It’s a bird. It has a beak and feathers, but it seems as if it wants to be a fish.
Speaker: Now we have learnt a few records and fascinating facts about birds. The truth is it is beautiful
observing them fly in the sky or swim in the sea, but, as we are always reminding you in
happy learning, so as to continue enjoying them, we must look after our environment, do not
contaminate the air, the sky, the rivers, and seas. We must take care of our nature and all that
is around us, and like that, we will be able to live in a happier world.
Unit 5
1. The ants and the grasshopper: It was a nice summer day. The grasshopper was playing his guitar.
He spent every day like that. He never did any work. One day
he saw a group of ants. The ants were working very hard. They
were gathering food for winter. The grasshopper asked them to
stop working and listen to his music, but they were too busy. The
grasshopper didn’t think about winter. It was summer and there was
plenty of food around. After a few months, winter came. The ants
were warm in their home with plenty of food for everyone. The
grasshopper was hungry and cold.
2. The crow and the bottle: It was a hot day and the crow was very thirsty. Suddenly, she saw a
bottle under a tree. She sat on the ground and looked at the bottle.
There was only a little water at the bottom. The crow tried to reach
the water, but she could not. Her beak was too short. At last, she had
an idea. She collected some stones. Then, she dropped the stones
one by one into the bottle with her beak. Soon the water came up
to the top of the bottle. Now the crow was able to drink it.
3. The lion and the mouse: The lion was sleeping. Suddenly, he woke up and saw that a mouse
was running over his face. The lion caught the mouse and wanted to
kill her. The mouse said, "Please, don’t kill me, I am sure I can help
you in the future". The lion laughed at this idea, but let the mouse
go. A few days later, the hunters caught the lion and tied him to the
ground with thick ropes. The mouse was walking by and saw the lion.
She came and cut the ropes with her sharp teeth. "Now you can see
that even a mouse can help a lion sometimes."
4. The tortoise and the hare: The tortoise wanted to race the hare. The hare laughed because the
tortoise had short legs and walked very slowly. The race began. The
tortoise walked slowly and didn’t stop for a moment. The hare ran
very fast. Soon he was far ahead, so he stopped for a rest. It was a
nice day, and the hare fell asleep. When the hare woke up, he ran
quickly to the finishing line. However, the tortoise was already there.
5. The fox and the stork: One day, the fox invited the stork to dinner. The fox served some
soup on a plate. She ate the soup quickly, but the stork couldn’t eat
from the plate with his long beak. The stork was angry and decided
to play a trick on the fox, too. He invited the fox to dinner the next
day. When she arrived, she saw that the food was served in a tall,
narrow jar. The stork ate the food with his long beak, but the fox
went home hungry.
6. The ant and the dove: The ant was walking by the river one day. He decided to have a drink
of water. But when he was drinking, he fell into the river. A dove was
sitting in a tree. She saw him and threw him a leaf. The ant climbed
on the leaf and floated on it to the bank. He was safe. A few days
later, the dove was building a nest. The ant was walking by. He saw
a man under the tree. The man was getting ready to shoot the dove.
The ant ran quickly and bit the man’s leg very hard. The man cried
and dropped his gun. The dove heard the noise and flew away. She
was safe.
PART 7
Unit 1
1. What’s in your backpack?
Oleg: I don’t have many things today. I have some tissues and a comb. I don’t have water or
snacks or sandwiches because we get free water at school. I have breakfast at home, and
then I eat lunch at the school cafeteria. I have my pencil case with a pen, a pencil, a pencil
sharpener, two highlighters – yellow and blue, scissors, and glue. I also have coloured
pencils for my art class, earphones for the computer class, a notebook, and ... that’s all.
Zoe: I have all the things I need – clothes, a toothbrush, toothpaste, a towel, a hairbrush, body
wipes, sunscreen, sunglasses, a compass, a torch, and a map. I also have a notebook and
some pencils because I like drawing. It’s my hobby.
Narrator: Having been brought up on a farm in Scotland, scientist Alexander Fleming wasn’t afraid
of getting his hands dirty, examining nasty bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus – which in
humans as well as horses, can cause death as well as vomiting and boils. One day, in 1928,
Fleming came back from his holidays. He found some cultures of the Staphylococcus aureus
bacteria, which he had meant to throw away, had died. But, instead of throwing them away,
he stopped to think what might have caused some of his sample to die and the rest to live.
After a lot of time and effort in his lab, Fleming worked out that some of his sample had
been contaminated by a particular fungus – which he then managed to grow himself. As an
ex-soldier in World War I, he had seen hundreds of soldiers die due to bacterial infection,
and he figured that, if the fungus could kill bacteria on his bench, it might also kill bacteria in
wounded soldiers. And he was right. Having renamed his mould juice Penicillin it was ready
for public consumption in time for the next war, on D-Day. Penicillin has saved the lives of
millions of people, and horses, but - due to overuse – some bacteria is becoming resistant
and Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus is now widespread among humans – known
by its more popular name: MRSA.
Unit 2
Narrator: Long ago and now. Long ago, life was different. Long ago people rode horses to work. Now
we ride in cars. Long ago people sent someone to deliver letters. Now we send emails on our
computers. Long ago people used lanterns and candles. Now we use electric lights. Long ago
people got water with buckets. Now we get water from faucets. Long ago people cooked
on fires. Now we cook on stoves. Long ago people cleaned with brooms. Now we clean
with vacuum cleaners. Long ago people washed clothes by hand. Now we wash clothes with
washing machines. Long ago people drew pictures by hand. Now we use cameras to take
pictures. Long ago life was different.
3. Civilisation
Narrator: Today we’re going to learn about civilisation. A long, long time ago, thousands and thousands
of years ago, people lived very differently than they do today. Instead of living in a
house or a city and buying their food at a store, people lived in small groups hunting
animals for meat and gathering wild food like vegetables, berries, and fruits. We call these
people hunter-gatherers, which is easy to remember, because that’s what they did. Most
hunter-gatherers lived so long ago that we have no written record, or history, of them. Since
they lived before written history began, we call them ’prehistoric.’ Most of what we know
about prehistoric people was learned by archaeologists. Archaeologists are scientists who
study humans by looking at what people have left behind.
Narrator: Archaeologists discovered that at some point the hunter-gatherers learned to grow their own
food and domesticated animals like cows, pigs, chickens and goats. This is called ’agriculture.’
Agriculture helped provide a steady source of food. People were even able to grow and store
more food than they needed. Hunter-gatherers needed to move around to find animals and
food, but in order to farm, people needed to stay in one place. Staying in one place, with
extra food, people started to build villages. More and more people were able to live together
because there was enough food. There was so much food available that some people began
to be able to do work that was not directly related to getting enough food to eat. Those
people started to specialise, or concentrate on becoming experts in, one kind of work. That
meant that one person could learn how to make really good pottery, and another person
could learn to weave better cloth, and they could trade those things to the people growing
food and get what they needed to eat.
Narrator: As technology improved and inventions like wheels and irrigation allowed people to grow
even more food, villages grew bigger and became towns and cities. People began trading
with people from other cities, and then with places very far away. In order to keep track
of these trades and their increasingly complicated lives, people began to develop writing.
Several different systems of writing began as something called ’pictograms,’ or pictures of
things, and then gradually changed to represent ideas and then sounds. Through all of these
changes people developed societies known as ’civilizations.’
Narrator: A civilisation is a culture and a way of life that usually has a few specific characteristics.
Number one, civilisations need to have agriculture and extra food available. They have large
cities filled with lots of people. They have specialised labour, and well-developed trade.
In almost all cases, they have a written language. Civilisations have strong governments.
They have shared values, in ancient times usually a shared religion as well, they have their
own style of architecture and artwork. The first known civilisation developed over seven
thousand years ago, in Mesopotamia. Since then, many different and fascinating civilisations
began popping up all over the world, and there are still many today. Do you think you can
name any civilisations?
Speaker: My mother used to have a bicycle. She used to like riding a bike. My father used to drink
coffee. The shop used to sell fresh fruit. We used to wash dishes by hand.
Unit 3
1. Greek mythology
Girl: Welcome to our weekly educational podcast. The topic of today’s podcast is Greek
mythology.
Girl: It’s a collection of stories from ancient Greece. They were collected thousands of years ago.
Girl: They were created to help people understand things they couldn’t explain, such as day and
night, lightning, or earthquakes.
Girl: The word comes from the word ‘myth’, which is a made-up story about gods and the
beginnings of the world. People had told the stories for thousands of years before they
were written down.
Boy: By Homer, the author of The Iliad and The Odyssey. He put a lot of the Greek myths in his
books.
Boy: I think there were twelve gods who lived on Olympus. Zeus was the king of the gods. He
could create storms with lightning and thunder. With his brothers, Hades and Poseidon,
they ruled the whole world.
Girl: Hades was the king of the underworld. He had a three-headed dog called Cerberus.
Poseidon ruled the oceans. He could create earthquakes with his trident, a spear with three
sharp points.
Boy: Zeus had many children. Athena was born out of his head. She was the goddess of wisdom.
She carried a spear and a shield and was often presented with an owl. Owls soon became
the symbol of wisdom.
Girl: Ares, Zeus’s son also carried a shield, and a spear or a sword, but he didn’t like to fight.
Boy: Not all myths were about gods. My favourite story is about king Midas because it teaches
an important lesson.
Girl: Pegasus was a beautiful white horse with wings. He lived with the gods on the mountain
Olympus. He became the symbol of artists’ inspiration.
Boy: Phoenix was a bird that was born in fire. Only one phoenix lived at a time. After about 500
years, the phoenix built a nest and set it on fire. He burnt but a new phoenix was born from
the ashes.
Girl: There are many more characters and many more stories in Greek mythology. Go to our
website for more myths. Our time’s up. Thank you and goodbye.
2. An old story
Storyteller: Odysseus and his men were sailing back home. They had left their country, Ithaka many
years before. They had had many adventures and they were tired. When the sailors saw
an island, they decided to land on it. They needed fresh water and food. They found a
large cave, and they went inside. There was food and drink inside the cave, so they ate and
drank, and soon they fell asleep.
Storyteller: They didn’t know that the Cyclops lived in the cave. Cyclops were giants with one eye in the
middle of the forehead. A lot of them lived on the island. Soon, the Cyclops, Polyphemus
came into the cave with his sheep. He covered the entrance with a big rock for the night,
and he started a fire. In the light of the fire, he saw that his food had disappeared. Then,
he saw the men.
Storyteller: They were trying to hide behind rocks. Polyphemus knew they had eaten his food. He
grabbed one man with each hand and ate both of them in one bite. After that, he fell
asleep. During the night, when the Cyclops were sleeping, Odysseus made a plan. In the
morning, the Cyclops woke up and had two more men for breakfast. He left the cave with
his sheep and closed the entrance with the rock again. When Polyphemus came back,
Odysseus offered him some wine that his men had brought from the ship.
Storyteller: The Cyclops drank it. The wine was very strong, so he soon fell asleep. When he was
sleeping, Odysseus’s men brought the long piece of wood they had found in the cave.
They put the sharp end of the stick into the fire. They pushed it into Polyphemus’s only
eye when the end was red hot. The Cyclops woke up screaming with pain.
Storyteller: He waved his huge arms around, but he was blind and he couldn’t hurt the men. Soon,
he got tired and fell asleep. In the morning, the men tied themselves under the sheep’s
bellies and waited for Polyphemus to wake up. When the Cyclops opened the cave, the
sheep started to leave. He counted them and touched their backs to make sure nobody
was sitting there, but he didn’t check under their bellies. Odysseus and all his men left the
cave. They were safe.
Narrator: Once there lived a greedy king. His name was Midas. He had a visitor one day, Silenus. ‘Stay
with us,’ Midas said. Silenus’s friend was the god Dionysus. ‘You were kind to my friend,’ he
said. ‘I want to give you a gift. What do you wish?’ ‘I want gold,’ Midas said. ‘Give me the
golden touch.’
Narrator: Midas touched a stone. It turned to gold. He touched his roses. They turned to gold. Midas
smiled. Then he tried to eat, but his food turned to gold. He tried to drink. His drink turned
to gold. Midas was sad. ‘Oh, why did I wish for gold?’ he said. He was mad, too.
Narrator: ‘The roses are hard,’ Midas’s daughter cried. ‘They do not smell good.’ ‘Don’t worry,’ he said.
He gave her a hug. She turned to gold. ‘What have I done?’ Midas cried. He ran to Dionysus.
‘Please, change my wish,’ Midas asked. ‘Go to the river,’
Narrator: Dionysus said. ‘Wash things in the river. They will change back.’ Midas brought his daughter
to the river. She changed back. He was so happy he ate a small meal with his daughter. He
learned to be happy with less.
Unit 4
1. Childhood toys
Boy: It was big and yellow. It had black eyes and a black nose.
Narrator: Have you ever stopped and wondered who invented toys? Let’s find out on today’s episode
of Colossal Questions.
Narrator: Kids have played games since as far back as we can trace, but the earliest toys were a little
different than the ones you’ve got today. Through most of time, kids have made toys of
anything they can find, like sticks, rocks, clay, whatever, but man-made toys have been found
in ancient civilisations all around the earth.
Narrator: In India, experts have excavated toys that are more than 4,500 years old. Clay animal
figurines on wheels, and small carts, bird-shaped whistles, toy monkeys that can slide over
string. Many of the world’s most classic toys came from ancient China. The kite was invented
there and was popular at least 3,000 years ago. The Chinese also invented another old-time
toy – the yo-yo. These ancient yo-yos were made of wood, metal, or painted terracotta clay.
Ancient Egyptian children even had dolls with wigs and movable limbs. In ancient Greece,
kids also played with dolls, yo-yos, balls, wooden swords, bows, and little figurines. And get
this! When Greek kids became adults, it was tradition to burn all their favourite childhood
toys in sacrifice to the Greek gods.
Narrator: So who invented toys? It’s impossible to say for sure, but we do know that a small set of toys
have been around just as long as humans. So the next time your yo-yo string gets knotted
up and ruined, just remember, it’s a toy as old as time.
Girl 1: It’s sad because you can’t play any apps. It’s just a phone that you can call on. and you can’t
do FaceTime either.
Children: (Cup and ball.) What’s this? I don’t know what this is. Into the cup. Oh, yeah. You’re catching
the thing. No, I can’t. Are you having fun? Yeah. No, bored. A lot bored. Just going like this.
Children: (Space shuttle.) It’s a space shuttle. Yeah, it’s pretty cool. Oh, it’s cute. I had one of these
once, and I took it apart. Did you put it back together then?
Children: (Stereoscope.) Oh, I’m holding it upside down. Do I look through? It looks like kind of one of
those things when you, like, put it inside of things, and then look through, and you can, like,
see something. Ooh. I guess it does tell a story, not really like Netflix. It would be better if
there was sound. I think YouTube is cool, but this is cooler. Well, it’s not really what I was
hoping for.
Children: (Toy telephone.) It’s a telephone. This is so confusing. How do you dial a number with that?
I’ll call my mom. Hello. I don’t really know what to say because she’s not actually on the
phone. Hello. I’m expecting a message from the devil, but there isn’t one.
Children: (Clockwork robot.) Look up to the skies and see. Wow. That was unexpected. I’ve always
wanted to see one of these. That’s cool, really, really cool. That’s cool. This is a toy robot. I
like these things. They’re cool, aren’t they?
Children: (A satsuma.) An orange. They are just round, and a fruit, which is orange. They are fun to play
with because, they’re like, throw down up and down. Oh God. Come down on Christmas
morning, and I just open, and I see this just present. It’s just like a circular thing, and I just
open this, and it as an orange, like, amazing.
Unit 5
1. Pronunciation
Speaker: We will send objects to distant places in a very short time. We will cut down a lot of trees.
Child 4: I think the world would be, like, there’ll be more robots that will help you with your everyday
life, and maybe at home you just put your shopping down, and then your robots put it away
and cook dinner for you.
Child 5: I think there’s going to be such things as smart houses, and in the smart house on the outside
it’ll look like an ordinary house and if you are inside it’s completely different to what you think
it’s going to look like.
Child 6: They’ll be starting to, like, teleport things around the place, but not humans, yet.
Child 7: In 50 years the world will have a water shortage so houses will require to have a water feature
to help animals that live in the sea survive.
Child 8: Because of deforestation, and how badly people are treating the earth, I think how... there’ll
be no more forests, a lot more climate change.
Child 9: In 50 years, if there was a football pitch on a boat, and you wanted to get tickets for it, you
could just put your finger up and call them up and say, hello.
Child 10: I think we’ll discover many more planets and we might, in like, say in the future, if it gets too
hot or something, we could inhabit those planets.
Child 11: I think that the world in 50 years will be half bad, and half happy.
Child 12: Because our technology is getting a lot better, we’ll probably have a much easier way to talk
to each other. We could maybe have, like, specialised glasses, or, like, a really special watch.
Child 13: Well, there’s no real way of telling what the future will be like, so whatever it is like, it will be
very different from what life is now, but I guess humans are very adaptable.
Answer Key
PART 1
Unit 1
1. Warm up
10 mins.
The main aim of the lesson is to motivate the students by showing them how much they can already
do in English. That’s why you should try to give them as much positive feedback as possible. Accept all
contributions that you can understand and ignore errors which don’t affect meaning while providing
the correct form yourself.
The warm-up is based on very basic vocabulary. If you think that your students can list more than 10
words in the warm-up, tell them to try to write down words which other students may not know.
Part A
Monitor the activity.
Part B
Check if the students understand the instructions. Demonstrate how to play the game using a few
examples on the board. Monitor as the students write the names of the objects on their cards – you
may have to add descriptions to your list. Tick the descriptions you read aloud. When a student shouts
‘Bingo’, ask them to read the words and elicit the descriptions as well.
Descriptions (may have to be expanded if nobody shouts Bingo):
You write in it. (notebook)
You write, draw or paint on it. You can also cut it. (paper)
You write with it. (pen, pencil)
You keep your pencils, pens, coloured pencils or crayons in it. (pencil case)
You use them to cut paper. (scissors)
The teacher writes on it. (board)
You sit on it. (chair)
You put your book and notebook on it. (desk/table)
You use them to draw. (crayons, pencils)
Alternative: If you want to control what language the students revise, or you think the game won’t
work with the class, use this alternative. Prepare cards with classroom objects and place them on your
desk. Divide the class into two teams. Team members take turns to come to the front, pick a card, read
the word and point to the object. They score a point for each object correctly identified.
Sample set of words (choose accordingly):
whiteboard, bookcase, pen, desk, map, whiteboard marker, textbook, chair, clock, notebook, globe,
projector, ruler, eraser, coloured pencils, chalk, pencil case, scissors, glue, paper, plant, curtains, computer,
poster, notice board
10 – 12 mins.
The aim of the activity is to make the students think of what different classrooms can look like and to
elicit the language to describe them. Put the students in three groups and give each group a different
classroom to describe. When they are ready, they present their descriptions to the class. Ask questions
to elicit more language and allow the other groups to add information. Give feedback at the end
focusing on the meaning of the words used.
Part A
Classroom 1 - Africa (Kenya)
Classroom 2 - Europe (Norway)
Classroom 3 - Asia (Thailand)
Part B
Possible answers:
Classroom 1. There are wooden benches and a chalkboard but there aren’t any walls or windows. I
cannot see the teacher so I think it is a lesson break. This classroom is in a hot country in Africa.
Classroom 2. The children are working together. Some are sitting and some are standing. They are
writing or drawing. I think it is an art lesson. There are tables, chairs and a whiteboard. I can see a
computer on the teacher’s desk, a clock on the wall and a globe on the white cupboard.
Classroom 3. The students are sitting on the floor and playing traditional musical instruments. They
are wearing uniforms. There aren’t any desks or chairs and there is no board.
3. Taboo
10 mins.
If reading the instructions is too difficult for your students, explain the procedure in your native language
and/or demonstrate how to play it. Cut up the grid with the words. Demonstrate how to play the
game with one or two words. Divide the class into two teams. Keep the scores or delegate the task to
a student. Make notes of any language problems the students have and use them in a feedback after
the game, or use the information when you prepare remedial work.
Cut the images and distribute to the class.

3 – 5 mins.
Part A
This activity introduces the three people who appear in more texts in the lesson. The students read
the sentences and match them to Anita (a girl), Busama (a girl) and Gatimu (a boy), who are children in
the photos in activity nr 2.
Part B
a. Her name is Anita. She has fair hair. She is standing next to the table.
b. His name is Gatimu. He is standing near the chalkboard.
c. Her name is Busama. She is sitting on the floor, near the window.
12- 15 mins.
The students listen to two children they identified in the photos in exercise 4.
Part A
This task requires matching the facts to the person. Introduce it by asking the students the questions:
Do you live in a warm country/like computers/play a sport/play a musical instrument?
Are you the youngest/middle/oldest child?
Get the students to check the answers in pairs before you give feedback.
1. c. 2. b. 3. b. 4. a. 5. b. 6. a.
Part B
In the second task, the students have to focus on the language used. Encourage them to guess the
answers based on the structure of the sentences before they listen.
Busama:
1. favourite subject 2. good at 3. reading
4. have 5. like
Gatimu:
1. the weather 2. listening 3. play
4. lives 5. older
Part C
The last task makes the students personalise the language from the recording. Monitor while they are
writing and talking to their partners. Address any recurring errors in a class feedback.
6. Stand up if ...
5 – 10 mins.
The students listen to your commands and follow them if they think they refer to them (Stand up if you
have dark hair). From time to time, ask questions to individual students to check if they have understood
the instructions well (What colour is your hair? Do you like the colour of your hair?). Choose the questions
to find out the students’ level by using a variety of structures. Don’t ask more than one student at a
time to keep a good pace.
This is a set of commands with optional questions. Add any other language you think your students
know. You can make the game more difficult if you mix affirmative and negative sentences, eg. Stand
up if you can’t sing. In this version, use follow-up questions only with the affirmative imperatives.
Stand up if you:
- have a brother (What’s your brother’s name?)
- have a sister (Is she older or younger than you?)
- can play a musical instrument (What instrument do you play?)
- can sing (What’s your favourite song?)
- play a sport (What is your favourite sport?)
7. Reading
10 – 12 mins.
Part A
The students read the messages twice. Encourage peer check before whole class feedback. Summarise
what they learned about the two countries and ask them which they would like to visit.
1. Thailand and Kenya.
2. Thailand for nature, warm weather and food. Kenya for wild animals.
Part B
Students read the texts again and decide if the statements are true or false.
1. False 2. True
3. False 4. False
5. True 6. True
6 – 7 mins.
The students write questions in pairs and then check them with the whole class. Explain to them how
to do the activity. They are to look for people who answer ‘Yes’ to the questions on the worksheet and
write their names down. They should talk to as many people as possible. To achieve this, you might tell
the students they can ask one person only one question at a time. Or you can shout "Change!" from
time to time to signal they have to change partners.
Alternative idea: If you have too little space for the students to move around, use this activity instead.
Students work in groups. Cards with speaking tasks are put on the table in a pile. Students take turns
picking a card and answer. The students need to understand the question and give an answer. If they
do it correctly (accuracy is not important), they keep the card. If they cannot answer, the card goes to
the bottom of the pile. Prepare the questions to reflect the level of your students.
Sample questions:
What is your favourite food?
Talk about your family.
What date is it today?
How old are you?
What is your favourite school subject?
Unit 2
1. Warm up
2-5 mins.
Ask students to think of more things they could do in the wintertime.
Discuss possible options and elicit answers from the whole class.
1. skate/ski/throw snowballs/go on holiday/eat good food/play games/etc.
2. when it is cold/when it snows/etc.
2. Vocabulary
5-10 mins.
This stage is for the students to identify and practise vocabulary related to Christmas. Show the
students both sets of cards (words and pictures) Pick up an image they might know (Santa) and ask
the students to find the word. Put them in groups and give each group a set of flashcards. Give
instructions to match all the pictures to the words. After the activity, review the words and practise
the pronunciation.
Additional activity
In the same groups, tell the students to put all the cards face down and mix them up. Explain that they
should take turns picking up one word and one image. If it is a correct match, they keep the pair. If
they do not match, they have to put them back down. They continue until all the cards have gone. The
winner is the student with the most cards at the end.
Alternative
Preparation: Post the flashcards on the walls around the classroom prior to the lesson
Hold up a flashcard of Santa and elicit the word. Put the students in pairs, tell them they have 3 minutes
to walk around the room and label the twelve pictures. You can give the first letter of each word as a
prompt if needed. After the activity, review the words and practise the pronunciation.
1. decorations 2. snowman
3. gingerbread man 4. sleigh
5. Christmas tree 6. bells
7. Santa 8. Christmas cards

3. What is it?
5 mins.
This stage is for the students to review and practise the vocabulary. Put the students in pairs and tell
them you are going to show them all the images but through a hole (use a gesture to check the meaning
of the word hole). Project the image so everyone can see it clearly. The first pair of students to get all
the words correct wins. After the activity, review the words and pick up on any pronunciation errors.

5 mins.
This stage is to review the words in a fun game of BINGO. Give a blank card to each student and ask
them to choose nine words from the twelve Christmas words and add them to the card. They can
either draw the words or write them. Then explain the game. Check the students have all filled in their
cards. Put all the words into a pot and randomly pick out one at a time and read it out. Students shout
‘BINGO’ when they have made a complete diagonal, vertical or horizontal line.
If you want to make it more challenging, you can read out the definitions.
Play the game a few times.

This stage is for students to respond to the text and personalise the topic. Put the students into small
groups and ask them to discuss the questions.
6. Christmas video
10 mins.
This stage is for students to identify some of the words that are in the film and make predictions about
the content using the images. Tell the students they are going to watch a short animation film. First,
they need to identify some keywords. They match the pictures and words. During feedback check the
meaning of the words and practise the pronunciation.
Then ask the students to make predictions using the images about what the film is about. Add the
ideas to the board.
1. a shadow puppet
2. to melt (snow or ice)
3. a fridge/freezer
4. a snow globe
5. magic
6. a scarf
Sequence
10 mins.
This stage is for students to check their predictions and to practise their sequencing skills. First, play
the film and ask the students to check their predictions. During feedback refer to their ideas and ask
if they were right.
Then tell them they are going to watch it again and this time they have to put the events of the film
in order. Give them time to read the sentences before playing the film. When they have finished, ask
them to check their answers with their partner. If necessary, play the video again. Check the answers.
Correct order:
One winter day, a young girl makes a snowman in her garden and surprisingly he comes alive.
The snowman makes shadow puppets for the young girl with his twig hands.
The puppets create a magical world for the girl to see
Suddenly the snowman starts to melt so the young girl puts him in the freezer with a teddy bear for
him to hug.
She plays with the snowman every year and they share a lot of happy times together.
But when she becomes a teenager, she loses interest in the snowman, and he is left in the freezer.
Many years pass and the young girl is now grown up.
One late evening at work, she sees a shadow of her snow globe on her desk, and it reminds her of the
snowman.
She goes home and opens the freezer. The snowman is still there.
She takes him out and he makes shadow puppets once again for her and her daughter.
Discussion
5-10 mins.
This stage is for students to discuss the emotions involved in the film and to think about an appropriate
title. Put the students in pairs and ask them to answer the questions. During feedback, add the
student’s ideas to the board. For question five, you can add all the suggestions to the board and ask
them to choose the best one.

This stage is for students to create their own Christmas cards. First, ask them a couple of questions
about Christmas cards in general. Why do people send them? Do they enjoy sending/receiving cards?
Then ask the students to think about what message people write inside a card. Add ideas to the board
as a reference. Ask them how they would decorate a card. Show them the template to write the
message, stickers, and art supplies. Tell them they can decorate their card how they like.
5 mins.
This stage is to introduce the topic of Christmas traditions in a short, running dictation task. Put the
students into pairs. Tell them they are going to read a text about Christmas. Put two or three copies
of the text on the board and give clear instructions for the task. When the first pair finish, stop the
activity and ask them to read out the text to check if it is correct. After it has been checked ask the
students to summarise what the text is about. This then leads to the following reading task about
unusual traditions around the world.
Instructions
1) Tell the students each pair will need a piece of paper and a pen.
2) Student A will be the runner, and Student B will be the writer.
3) Stick three or four copies of the text on the board.
4) The writers run to the board, read the text, and remember as much as possible
5) They race back to their partner and say what they read. Their partner writes it down. It should be
the same as the text including correct punctuation.
6) The first pair to finish, wins.
*You can switch the pair halfway through to give them both an opportunity to speak and write.
9. Optional activity
10 mins.
This stage is for students to experiment with making shadow puppets. First, ask them what shadow
puppets the snowman made. Ask them how he made them. Then show them the images. In pairs, ask
them to try making all the animals using their hands. When they are ready you can turn the lights off
and the projector light on and the students can see if they work.
Unit 3
1. Warm up
5 mins.
This stage is for the students to engage with the topic. Students have to think about their senses during
wintertime. Do the first one together. Add any useful vocabulary to the board. Then ask students, in
pairs, to talk about the other four senses. While monitoring, help with vocabulary. During feedback
add any useful winter vocabulary to the board and practise pronunciation.
2. Vocabulary
5-10 mins.
This stage is for the students to identify and practise vocabulary related to winter. The students have
to cut out the images and stick them down to the correct definition. Check the answers and elicit
other examples (winter sports, clothes, weather, activities). Practise pronunciation and then add all
the words to the board.
Answers:
1. h; 2. b; 3. c; 4. d; 5. g; 6. f; 7. a; 8. e
Alternative
You could ask the students to draw the image in the right definition box. You will get varied answers.
5 mins.
This stage is for the students to review and practise the vocabulary in a speaking task. First, show
the students the eight prompts. Tell the students that they first need to make a question to get the
information. Elicit the first one together. Have you made a snowman? Then ask the students, in pairs,
to create the other questions. Check for accuracy while monitoring. Students then stand up and walk
around asking and answering each other’s questions. When they find someone, they add the name
and any extra information to the box. Do feedback and ask the students to report their findings.
5-10mins.
Part A
This stage is to pre-teach some key vocabulary the students will hear in the audio. Tell the students
they are going to listen to an adventure podcast but first, they need to identify some words. They start
by matching the definition and word. Check the answers, ask further concept-checking questions if
necessary and practise pronunciation. Some students may have difficulties with consonant clusters so
do group and individual drilling of any difficult words. Students then complete the gap-fill task with an
appropriate word.
1. → 2. → 3. → 4. → 5. → 6. →
a. f. d. b. c. e.
Part B
1. helmet 2. sledge 3. creative
4. slope 5. slide 6. unusual
10 mins.
This stage is to get students to make predictions about the activities based on the images. Show them
the photos and ask them to discuss, in pairs, what they think the winter activity is. Check any unknown
vocabulary and review any words from the vocabulary stage. During feedback, add the predictions to
the board so you can compare them later.
10 mins.
This stage is to get students to develop their listening for gist. Tell the students they are going to listen
to the podcast. They should put the images in the order that they hear them.
10 mins.
This stage is for students to develop their detailed listening skills. They listen again and then match a
letter to a number. Do the first one together. When they have listened once, ask them to check their
answers in pairs, then do group feedback. Finish by comparing their original predictions.
1. → 2. → 3. → 4. → 5. →
a. b. d. e. c.
8. Discussion
5 mins.
This stage is for students to respond to the text and personalise the topic. Put the students into small
groups and ask them to discuss the questions.
9. Make a snowflake
10-15 mins.
This stage is for students to do something creative about the theme of winter. It will work best if you
can do a demonstration to show the students how to make a snowflake. Project or give the students
the step-by-step guide so they can use it as a reference. When they are finished, you can ask them to
decorate them and hang them from the ceiling.
10 mins.
This stage is for students to review the words from the lesson. Make a list of all the words you want
to review and write them down on a list. Put the students into groups. One person from each group
comes up to the board. Show them a word, at the same time. They all have to act out the word as
quickly as possible, and their team must guess it. The first team to guess the word gets the point. The
team with the most points at the end of the game wins.
More challenging
Rather than acting out the word, students have to describe it to their team without saying it. When
the teams guess the word, they write it down and hold it up in the air. The first team with the correct
word gets the point. The spelling must be accurate and legible. The team with the most points at the
end of the game wins.
10 mins.
This stage is to play a quick game to review any previous language. First, you have to ask the students
to write any question they would like to ask their classmates and write it on a piece of paper. Check the
questions are accurate/appropriate. When everyone is ready, they crumple their paper into a snowball
and stand up. They then have a snowball fight. When you say ‘STOP’ they have to pick up the nearest
snowball. Nominate a student to read their question and respond. They then nominate someone else.
This continues until everyone has answered a question.
Unit 4
1. Warm up
5 mins.
This stage is for the students to engage with the topic. Students have to, in pairs, complete the
sentences about themselves. During feedback add any useful spring vocabulary to the board and
practise pronunciation.
2. Spring collocations
10-15 mins.
This stage is for students to identify common collocations for spring. First, ask the students what they
can hear or see during springtime. You can use some ideas from the warm-up activity, question one.
Then ask the students to complete the task to make the collocations. You may need to concept-check
some of the verbs before the students complete the task. During feedback, ask students to give you a
complete sentence using there is or there are. Then, practise pronunciation.
Game
5-10 mins.
Cut the boxes with phrases and distribute them to the class. Students should show or describe the
actions and the team should guess the whole phrase.

3. Speaking
5 mins.
This stage is for the students to describe a spring scene using some of the collocations.
Put students in pairs and ask them to sit face-to-face so they can’t see each other’s pictures. Review
or teach some useful language first so they can complete the task. Then tell the students that one
student describes their picture while their partner listens and draws. As the students are doing the
task, monitor and write down any errors or good examples of language so you can do some post-task
language feedback. When the students have finished, they can compare the drawings with the pictures.
Useful language
In my picture, there is/are...

Alternative option
You could ask the students to draw their own spring scene rather than giving them one. Just remind
them to use the vocabulary.
10-15 mins.
This stage is for students to take part in a lively spring scavenger hunt - a common springtime activity.
Before the class, hide the images around the room. Tell the students that they will have a list of clues.
They have to decide what the word is and quickly find the matching image around the room. They
need to tick the box and write the word next to the clue. The first one to find them all wins. Show
them an example of an image so they know what they are looking for.

Part A
This stage is for students to watch a short clip from the movie adaptation of Peter Rabbit. Show them
the different events and ask them to put them in order while they are watching the clip. Give them time
to read the sentences before playing the video. Get students to check their answers in pairs before
doing group feedback. To finish, ask the students what they think about Peter Rabbit.
The rabbits are stealing vegetables from Mr McGregor’s garden.
Mr McGregor is mowing the lawn so he can’t hear the rabbits.
Mr McGregor’s lawnmower stops working.
10 mins.
This stage is to introduce the idea of haiku poems. First, show the students the poem and ask them
how many syllables are in each line. Then you can clarify what a haiku poem is. Students then complete
their own poems.
*A haiku is a short poem which does not rhyme. It has 3 lines. The first line has five syllables, the
second has seven, and then the last line has five (seventeen in total).
When they are finished, tell the students to post their poems around the room (without their names)
and ask them to walk around and read everyone else’s. The students could be asked to vote for their
favourite poem to add a competition element to the activity and encourage them to write good-quality
haikus’
Unit 5
1. Warm up
5 mins.
This stage is for the students to engage with the topic. Students have to, in pairs, think of three words
for each category. During feedback add any new vocabulary to the board and practise pronunciation.
10 mins.
This stage is to introduce common collocations to describe summer activities. The students have to
match a word from column A to a word or phrase in column B. You may need to concept-check some of
the verbs before the students complete the task. When the students have finished, check the answers,
and ask further clarification questions to check the meaning of the phrases and practise pronunciation.
Then ask them to discuss, in pairs, what activities they do/don’t do during the summer.
Alternative
Put the students into groups and give them each a set of collocation cards (last page of teacher notes).
Together they have to match them all up to create the collocations.
Group 1:
1. → 2. → 3. → 4. → 5. → 6. →
d. e. f. a. c. b.
Group 2:
1. → 2. → 3. → 4. → 5. → 6. →

Part A:
5 mins.
Tell the students that they are going to play a verb game. Ask them to stand up and put them in two
lines. Ask the first student from each line to come forward and face the board. You can use the same
collocation flashcards from the previous stage. The two students have to change the phrase to the
past and write it on the board. The first team to get the correct phrase, gets a point. Do one or two
examples first.
* Students should have had some exposure/practice using the past simple tense at this level.
Part B:
10 mins.
This stage is for the students to see and practise the collocations in context. Tell them that they are
going to read three teenagers’ descriptions of what activities they did last summer. They have to fill in
the gaps with a phrase from the box. There are only images in the box, the students have to write the
phrases in the past. Do the first one together. After you have checked the answers, you can ask the
students to highlight all the adjectives in the text. During feedback, add the words to the board:
Group 1: awesome, incredible, hot, cool; Group 2: small, long, relaxing, delicious; Group 3: amazing,
clear, blue

4. Listening comprehension
Part A:
5 mins.
This stage is to get the overall gist of the short film. Students watch the film and choose the most
appropriate title. Check the answer and ask further clarification questions if needed. Students might
not be familiar with a cassette player and tape.
3. [show] The soundtrack to our summer
Part B:
10-15 mins.
This stage is to practise the language in a speaking task. In pairs, the students first look at the images
and discuss what activities they are. During feedback, add any unknown vocabulary to the board and
practise pronunciation. Then ask the students to think about any other activities they saw. Tell them,
they are going to describe what the friends in the film, did last summer. Remind them that they need
to use the past tense. Monitor without intrusion and write down any errors. After content feedback,
you can do some post-language feedback.
picture A → having a picnic;
picture B → playing with insects;
picture C → writing in a journal;
picture D → saying goodbye
picture E → sketching pictures;
picture F → hanging out;
picture G → listening to music
15 mins.
This stage allows the students to personalise the topic, review the language, and practise past simple
questions. Show the students the worksheet and tell them that they are going to find out how everyone
spent last summer. First, they need to individually fill in the gaps with the right verb form to complete
the collocations. They also add two of their own activities. Monitor and check for accuracy.
Then tell the students that they need to create questions to get the information. Highlight the information
box about forming questions using the past simple. Doing a demonstration, model the first sentence.
Find someone who went to the beach and ask a student - did you go to the beach last summer? Elicit
the response - yes, I did, or no I didn’t. Tell them that if the student says yes, they add the name to the
worksheet. If they say no, they ask someone else until they find someone who says yes. Encourage
them to ask follow-up questions to get more information about their classmates’ activities.
Then elicit the other sentences. Students then stand up, walk around the room, and ask their classmates
questions. During feedback, ask the students what information they found and give feedback on their
language use.
Answers:
1) went; 2) hung out; 3) had; 4) sketch; 5) picked; 6) flew; 7) & 8) Students own answers.
Questions to ask by students:
Did you hang out with friends?
6. Additional task/homework
20 mins.+
This stage provides the students with some writing practice on the same topic. When the students
are finished, put the writings around the room and ask them to walk around and read them. Give the
students a task to do while walking around. For example. Find the person who had a similar summer
to you or find the most interesting/funny/unusual summer.
While the students walk around, you can look for good examples of language or errors to provide
post-task feedback.
Collocation cards
PART 2
Unit 1
1. Warm up
5 mins.
Use the task to revise vocabulary before you teach more in the following activities. Check the spelling.
Note: the lesson includes vocabulary related to the human body at different levels of difficulty. It
revises vocabulary that students should already be familiar with (A1/A2) and introduces words that
could be new. Some of the new words are at a B2 level, but they are important for the topic.
However, the students are not expected to memorise all the vocabulary. The aim of the lesson is to
enable the students to read, listen and talk about the main body parts and their functions. This is the
vocabulary organised by levels.
VOCABULARY ANALYSIS
A1: arm, body, eye, ear, foot, hair, head, leg, nose, tooth, mouth / eat, hear, read, see, speak, walk,
write, think
A2: air, brain, blood, finger, heart, neck, stomach, toe / control, grow, push / hard, soft
B1: bone, elbow, knee, shoulder, skin, tongue / bite, breathe, collect, move, smell, taste
B2: chest, lungs, muscle, oxygen, organ, rib, skeleton, skull
You may ask the students to give answers using full sentences, e.g. 1 You use your legs to stand, walk
and run. / 2 You use your teeth to eat.
1. legs 2. teeth 3. toes 4. hands
5. fingers 6. head 7. eyes 8. ears
Picture
Encourage the students to point to any body parts they can name on their bodies and in the picture.
Possible answers: hand/s, fingers, head/s, mouth/s, arm/s, chest/s, nose/s, lips, ears, face/s, cheeks,
palm/s, leg/s, knee/s etc.
2. Listening
10 mins.
Here we teach the more difficult vocab and check comprehension of the text. Help the students with
any words. It is important that they understand the sentences before they listen to the recording to
check if their guesses are correct.
Note: Some students might want to know that oxygen is a gas with no colour or smell. The air we
breathe is about 20% oxygen. The rest is nitrogen and small amounts of other gases.
The answers to the questions are in different parts of the text and they often use different words. For
example, "The skin covers your whole body’ in question 1 and ’Your body is covered by your skin" in
the text. Play the recording twice if necessary.
Elicit correct answers and make sure students understand the meaning of words in bold.
1. → 2. → 3. → 4. → 5. → 6. →
a. d. e. f. c. b.
You can ask the students more questions to check their understanding of the text and to make them
use the vocabulary.
Possible questions: What is inside your mouth? (tongue, teeth)/on your skin? (hair)/ under your
skin? (muscles, bones, organs)/inside your skull? (brain)/inside your heart? (blood)/inside your blood?
(oxygen).
Encourage the students to find out and list all the body parts they can move.
Possible answers: lips, mouth, tongue, eyes, neck, hands, fingers, arms, shoulders, legs, feet, toes.
They can feel the muscles that move the lungs when they breathe and the muscles in the neck when
they swallow.
5-10mins.
Make sure the students understand all the words, eg petrol, steering wheel, helmet. The students
should present their explanations using full sentences like in the example. They practise the Present
Simple and the new vocabulary.
1. → 2. → 3. → 4. →
b. d. c. a.
Sentences
1. Blood is to your body like petrol is to a car: Your body needs blood to live, and a car needs petrol
to work.
2. Your skull Your skull is to your brain like a helmet is to a head. The skull protects your brain, and a
helmet protects your head.
3. Your skin is to your body like a glove is to a hand. Your skin protects your body, and a glove protects
a hand.
4. Your brain is to your body like a steering wheel is to a car. Your brain controls your body, and a
steering wheel controls a car.
5. Your eyes are to your brain is like a camera is to a computer. Your brain uses your eyes to see, and
a laptop uses a camera to see.
5 mins.
At this stage, it is enough if the students identify the body parts used. Don’t insist on full answers, but
make sure Present Continuous is used if the students try to make sentences. Later, task 5 presents
this use of the tense and task 6 practises it.
You can demonstrate the activity using your body, e.g. hide your hands under the table and knock on it
(fingers) or scratch it (fingernails). This way you will elicit the word scratch needed for the next exercise.
Sounds of:
hands - They are clapping their hands.
teeth - They are brushing their teeth.
feet/legs - They are walking / stomping feet.
fingers - They are snapping their fingers.
legs/feet - They are kicking a ball.
lips/mouth - They are whistling.
5. Language focus
5-10 mins.
The table revises and summarises the uses of the two tenses which appeared in the previous activities
in the lesson. Students should be familiar with this grammar, but it may be helpful to revise negative
and question forms quickly before continuing to the next activity. They will practise the two tenses in
the rest of the lesson (task 6, 7, 8).
Matching
1. stops / Present Simple 2. is beating / are breathing / Present
Continuous
3. are ... clapping / Present Continuous 4. brushes / Present Simple
5. is ... doing / Present Continuous 6. is brushing / Present Continuous
10 mins.
The students practise using the Present Continuous (examples were presented in task 5). Make sure
they use the correct forms.
Elicit the meaning of scratch.
1) He’s touching his toes.
2) She’s sticking out her tongue.
3) They’re waving their hands.
4) She’s scratching her head.
5) He’s throwing a ball.
6) She’s picking her nose.
7) She’s catching a ball.
8) They’re licking their fingers.
5 mins.
Students practise using the Present Simple. Make sure they use the correct forms.
1. use 2. doesn’t protect 3. stops
4. doesn’t grow 5. sends 6. move
8. What’s unusual?
5 mins.
Check if the students understand the differences between the two tenses and if they can build correct
sentences. If there is no time left, give it as homework.
Sample answers:
1. The boy is washing his legs/feet in a kitchen sink. We usually wash our legs/feet in a bath. OR We
don’t wash legs/feet in a kitchen sink.
2. The dog is wearing a scarf. Dogs don’t wear scarves.
3. The person is standing on his hands. / We normally stand on our feet.
4. The children are using their hands to paint. / We normally use brushes to paint.
9. Homework/reading
10 mins.
The students read the text of the presentation they heard as listening during the lesson. Ten names of
body parts were deleted from the text. The students put the names in the right gap. They listen and
check their answers. Then, they answer a few questions about the text.
1. nose 2. bones 3. skull 4. lungs
5. brain 6. muscles 7. skin 8. hair
Sentences:
1. The air goes through your mouth and nose to the lungs.
2. The brain controls the work of all the other organs and body parts.
3. The tongue.
4. It’s hard.
5. The brain.
5-10 mins.
Students can work in pairs to test each other and to use Present Simple. You can demonstrate how to
do it with one student, like in the example. Give students the right handouts and monitor their work.
ALTERNATIVE VERSION
If you cannot organise pair work, read the questions aloud yourself and ask the students to write down
their answers individually.
Unit 2
1. Warm up
5 mins
Warn the students that some of the riddles are tricky but the pictures give useful clues. If they need
help, tell them that that the names of body parts are often used to describe parts of objects, e.g. a
chair has legs, a clock has hands, and a comb has teeth.
Key:
1) A mountain. At the foot of the mountain= at the bottom of the mountain.
2) A needle. A hand sewing needle consists of a point, a shaft and an eye.
4) Legs. The bottom= is the part of the body you sit on. Your bottom is at the top of your legs.
4) A chair.
If the students are interested, give them more examples, e.g. the tongue of a shoe, the mouth of a
river, the nose of a plane.
3 mins.
This exercise contains language which is very useful in the lesson. Make the students practise their
pronunciation.
Students hear ‘nineteen kilometres’ and they write down 19 km. After checking if they have the correct
numbers, ask the students to write what they heard as words – ‘nineteen kilometres’.
1. → d.
2. → e.
3. → a.
4. → b.
5. → c.
3. Listening
10 mins.
In order to introduce the quiz and revise the key vocabulary (bones, organ, blood, heart, lungs) check
what the students remember from the previous lesson. Pre-teach blink (demonstrate blinking your
eyes). To do the quiz the students can work as teams. Make sure they don’t use their phones to look
for the answers. When they are ready, they listen to the recording to find out what the correct answers
are.
Lower-level students may require a second listening.
Note:
5) The three smallest bones are in your ear. The smallest bone (called stapes or stirrup) is the size of a
grain of rice– 1 mm in length.
7) The tallest man ever was Robert Wadlow 272 cm.
1. c. 2. a. 3. a. 4. b. 5. c. 6. a. 7. a. 8. c.
4. Making guesses
5 mins.
The students should practise saying the phrases so that they can use them with some confidence in
the next activity.
I’m sure, I’m not sure, I think, I guess, I’ll go for, I have no idea, my answer is, definitely
Categories
a. I’m sure, definitely, my answer is
b. I have no idea
c. I think, I guess, I’ll go for, I’m not sure
7 mins.
Students can work in pairs or groups before you give them the answers. You could also role play a quiz
show with individual students representing groups and you as the host. In the feedback stage praise
the students for using any of the language from activity 4.
Note:
Q5: The thickest skin is on the palms of your hands and the soles of your feet, around 1.5 mm thick.
1) True; 2) True; 3) False; 4) False; 5) False; 6) True; 7) True; 8) True
5 mins.
Encourage the students to give you the adjectives with the context, eg. The skin is the biggest and
heaviest organ.
Quiz 1 – biggest, heaviest, smallest, tallest;
Quiz 2 – thickest, faster, taller.
1. longer
2. more active
1. smallest
2. thickest
3. most important
1. worse
2. better
3. the best
7. Smaller or larger?
7 mins.
Pre-teach ‘palm’ and ‘neck’. Provide them with more information (in the key)
Note:
2 – It is true on average. There are men who are shorter than women.
4 – Both teeth and bones are very hard but the enamel on our teeth makes them even harder.
5 – The students can check it by examining their hands.
7 – It is the thigh bone.
8 – We do have hair on most of our skin but it is very thin and difficult to see.
Answers
1. smaller 2. taller 3. largest 4. harder
5. fastest 6. thicker 7. The longest 8. softer
Encourage the students to use the tips of their fingers to feel the fine hair on their necks.
5 mins.
Students generally appreciate rules they discover themselves more than those presented to them by
the teacher or the book. They certainly remember them better. Give the task as homework or do it in
the next lesson, if you are short of time.
We double the last consonant in a short adjective only if it is a single consonant with a single vowel
before it.
busy - busier, busiest
fit - fitter, fittest
hard - harder, hardest
old - older, oldest
easy - easier, easiest
funny - funnier, funniest
hot - hotter, hottest
wide - wider, widest
Oli’s homework correction:
1) Old people are stronger and fitter than young people.
2) The inside of your mouth is wetter than the inside of your nose. (correct)
3) Your skin gets thinner as you get older.
4) The head is the heaviest body part.
-False sentences: 1, 4 (the first and the last)
10 mins.
Prepare some measuring tapes. Can be printed to give to your students.
If you are short of time, do this activity in the next lesson rather than hurry through it. You can also
give it as homework and ask students to compare themselves with other family members.
10 mins.
Depending on the time you can do this task in class or ask students to write their statements and bring
in to the next lesson to test their classmates. You can use those sentences as a warm-up.
Unit 3
1. Warm up
3 mins.
The warm-up introduces the topic of the daily routine.
Key: In the morning you wake up, get up, get dressed, brush your teeth, wash your face, (take a shower),
have breakfast, go to school. In the evening you get undressed, take a shower/bath, brush your teeth,
go to bed.
2. In the bathroom
5 - 10 mins.
This activity revises and teaches new vocabulary. Make sure the students pronounce the words
correctly (eg. silent ‘b’ in ‘comb’, stress on the second syllable in ‘shampoo’).
After checking the answers to Part 1, expand by asking more questions about the photos. This will
allow the students to use the vocabulary and will make doing Part 2 easier for them.
What colour is the toilet lid? (white)
Where is the mirror? (Over the washbasin)
What is the boy doing? (He’s drying his hair.)
What colour is the hairdryer? (Red)
What is on the towel? (Soap/Some soap)
What is in the glass? (Toothpaste/a tube of toothpaste, a toothbrush)
What colour is the comb? (Orange)
What is the girl doing? (She’s drying her hair with a towel)
Part 1:
1. toilet 2. mirror
3. shampoo 4. hairdryer
5. comb/ hairbrush/ scissors 6. toothpaste / toothbrush
7. soap 8. towel
Part 2:
1. mirror 2. shampoo
3. hairdryer 4. soap
3 - 5 mins.
It’s important to teach students the correct links between words (collocations). Here we have the most
common collocations in the context of typical bathroom activities. Pre-teach ‘hygiene’ and ‘flush the
toilet’.
1. teeth 2. hair
3. toenails 4. face
5. hands 6. toilet
Game
Personal hygiene - extension task
Cut up the phrases below.
Give instructions to your students:
1) Pick one card.
2) Present the action while others guess what you are doing.
5 mins.
This is a fun way to memorise the vocabulary from the lesson as well as to revise the use of Present
Continuous. Print out and cut up the phrases below. Ask individual students to pick one card and
present the action while others guess what the student is doing.
Example: What is Mark doing? He’s brushing/combing his hair.
CUT UP these cards and distribute around the class
10 - 15 mins.
Students listen and talk about hygiene routines. Pre-teach ‘flush the toilet’, ‘close the lid’. To teach the
meaning of ‘once’, ‘twice’ and ‘ ... times’, clap/tap or knock and ask the students how many times you
have done so? After listening give feedback; talk about Jose and Marsha paying attention to correct
grammar:
How often does Jose brush his teeth? (He brushes his teeth three times a day).
What about Marsha? (She brushes her teeth twice a day).
Demonstrate how to complete the YOU column in the table by asking yourself the questions and
writing the answers in the handout or on the board. Monitor and help when the students do so. Divide
students into pairs and set up the task for pair work.
Answers for the table:
1. after breakfast
2. after breakfast
3. 5 secs
4. 10 secs
5. 3 secs
6. 20 secs
7. twice a week
8. open
9. open

students into pairs and set up the task for pair work.
10 mins.
The table presents the phrases used to talk about frequency. The percentage for the adverbs of
frequency is just for rough guidance. The meaning of ‘often’ or ‘rarely’ is relative and can be quite
different for different people. Draw the students’ attention to the use of ‘a’ in ‘once a day’ or ‘once a
week’ and lack of article in ‘every day’ and ‘every week’.
The students study the table and answer the questions above it. This activity clarifies the meaning
of the phrases with ‘every’ and ‘times’. By matching phrases with the same meaning, the students
test their understanding of their meaning. Encourage the students to repeat the phrases after the
recording.
Part 1:
We put adverbs of frequency right before the verb, and after the subject.
We put phrases with ‘every’ at the end of the sentence.
We put phrases with ‘times’ at the end of the sentence.
Part 2:
1. → 2. → 3. →
d. e. f.
4. → 5. → 6. →
b. c. a.
7 mins.
Make sure the students understand all the questions (pre-teach ‘bacteria’) but don’t pre-teach all the
unfamiliar words in the text. To answer the three questions they mostly need vocabulary they have
already learned in the lesson. It’s very important to teach the students to rely on what they understand
and ignore what they don’t. Limit the time for the task to 3 minutes. Students need to be trained in
reading strategies to be able to deal with various language tests such as Cambridge Flyers or Cambridge
Key (A2) and Preliminary (B1). There is one more reading task to practise these strategies in the
homework.
1. We brush our teeth too soon/ after eating.
2. We don’t wash our hands and brush our teeth long enough.
3. Towels and shower curtains.
7 mins.
This activity summarises what the students have learned. Encourage group work for more discussion.
Monitor and help. Help with unfamiliar words when necessary or in the feedback stage.
Key 1: Sentences 4, 6, 7 need Don’t at the beginning.
1. Wash your hands longer than 10 seconds.
2. Dry the shower curtain well.
3. Don’t flush the toilet with the lid open.
4. Wash your hands before eating.
5. Don’t brush your teeth right after eating.
6. Don’t clean the bathroom without gloves.
Giving reasons:
1 – You need more time to wash your hands properly.
2 – Bacteria like wet places.
3– The flushing water can send bacteria all around the bathroom.
4– Bacteria on your hands can get into your food.
5- You can damage them because the food makes teeth soft.
6– You don’t want bacteria on your hands. The cleaning liquids can damage your skin.
8. Homework
5 – 10 mins.
This is a writing activity to consolidate the material. Students can read their sentences to one another
before you give feedback to the whole class. Give this task as homework if you are short of time.

Unit 4
1. Warm up
3 – 10 mins.
The first two questions revise the use of superlatives from lesson 2. It will be interesting to find out
who knows the tallest or oldest person. The other questions will involve some guessing – you are not
supposed to give them the right answers. You can measure how long they can hold their breath (it is
ok to breathe out slowly as long you don’t breathe in). For the last question, they can note down their
guesses to compare to what they learn later in the lesson.
2. Human records
10 mins.
The human records listed in this task were updated in January 2022. Check before the lesson if the
records are still valid when you use the worksheet.
The students match the phrases with the details. They guess and then read to check if they were right,
so there is no need to talk about this task with the whole class. However, if you want the students
to speak about their guess, they should use the past tense, eg. the heaviest weight was 2,840 kg, the
longest run was 80 hours, 44 minutes, etc. All the information is related to either people in the past or
past events.
The text about the records and the comprehension questions use verbs in the Past Simple, which is
covered in the next lesson. However, the tasks don’t require the students to actively use the tense and
the tense is not the focus of the lesson.
Part 1
1. → 2. → 3. → 4. →

5. → 6. → 7. → 8. →
c. h. b. g.
Part 2
1. 11 2. 1875 3. August 4. 3
5 – 7 mins.
The questions can be used to introduce, revise or clarify the meaning of the words asleep, awake, hungry
and thirsty. Make sure the students understand the questions before they do the calculations. All the
sentences are examples of the zero conditional, which is the language focus of the lesson.
1. sleep ≀ 8 2. sleep ≀ 22
3. eat ≀ 5 4. breathe ≀ 3
5. drink ≀ 7
7 – 10 mins.
Read the sentences aloud so the students hear the correct pronunciation of the new vocabulary. You
can ask students if they can translate the words into their first language. Elicit translation before or
after they do the second activity. Encourage cooperation between students.
1. (It’s) body fat. 2. (You can see) sweat.
3. (You become )thinner. 4. (They weigh) a lot.
5. You pass out. 6. You lie down.
10 mins.
Ask the ss to read the questions and guess the answers before listening. Let them listen twice if
necessary and give them plenty of time to think about the answers. Accept any answers similar to
the ones given in the key.
5 mins.
Pre-teach condition and result and the meaning of ‘if’. Point out that zero conditional talks about what
happens usually or always and doesn’t refer to any specific situations. The order of the clauses is not
fixed, the choice depends on what (the result or the condition) you want to mention first or what seems
more logical to mention first. The next activity clarifies the meaning through more examples.
1. result
2. condition
3. result
4. condition
5. condition
6. result
5 mins.
The examples are based on the listening and they represent a chain of events related by cause and
result. Encourage the students to think of a similar chain of events and to talk about it using the
conditional. Possible idea: don’t sleep long enough before a test, get up tired, cannot concentrate in
class, fail the test. Other contexts for the use of zero conditional: science, school rules, instructions
for games, proverbs.
1. a. 2. a. 3. a. 4. b.

Possible answers:
1. If you are hungry, your stomach makes noises.
2. You become overweight if you eat too much.
3. You survive longer without food if you have a lot of body fat.
4. You can’t breathe if your lungs don’t move.
5. If you are hot, you sweat.
6. If you are asleep, your eyes are closed.
5 – 10 mins.
The students need to know the past form of ‘be’ to do the task. It is a good opportunity to revise
months and the way years are read (1971 – nineteen seventy-one, 2010 - two thousand ten).
Part 1
1. in 2. in
3. for 4. on
5. on 6. On
Part 2
1. in + year (for example 2011).
2. in + month (for example June).
3. day + month + year (for example 23 February, 2022).
4. + month (January)
5. + year (for example 1971)
10. Homework
Part 1: The students revise some vocabulary and practise talking about periods of time.
1. breathe
2. 3
3. asleep
4. 8
5. awake
6. 22
7. eat
8. 5
9. thirsty
10. 7
Part 2: This task gives the students the ability to practise the zero conditional.
1. If you don’t eat, you get hungry.
2. If you don’t drink, you get thirsty.
3. If you exercise, you sweat.
4. If your eyes are closed, you can’t see.
5. If you are underwater, you can’t breathe.
RESEARCH IDEA: Ask the students to use the Internet to learn more about one of the records presented
in the lesson or to find out about the tallest/shortest/oldest person who is alive at the moment.
Unit 5
1. Warm up
5 mins.
After the students read the questions, you can try to use some elements of drama. Encourage the
students to close their eyes and imagine things as you read out the questions again.
Possible answers: It’s dark/cold/wet. I can’t see anything but I can hear drops of water falling/ bats
flying/some animals. I can smell some animals/mud/wet rocks. I’m afraid/frightened/cold, etc. I’m
hungry/thirsty /lonely/tired/ weak/very cold, etc. I’m thinking about my family/friends /dog/school/
food, etc
2. Vocabulary
10 mins.
The students learn vocabulary that will help them to understand the story later in the lesson. The
vocabulary is presented in a text which explains the dangers of cave exploration. The text, together
with the warm-up prepare the students for the reading.

Possible answers: Save the air and your energy. Don’t move, don’t shout. Try to stay calm. Think about
pleasant things. Tell stories from books or films you know. Sing songs, but not too loud.
15 mins.
Part 1: Make sure the students understand the titles before they read the text. Pre-teach unlucky,
discovery, adventure, and rescue, if necessary. Explain that the title they choose should refer to
the whole paragraph. The students are reading for general understanding, so they don’t need to
understand everything they read. Encourage them to focus on the general meaning. It may be a good
idea to limit the time for the task (max 3 minutes for the first reading). When they finish reading, discuss
the students’ choices with the whole class.
An unlucky adventure
A happy discovery
The rescue
3 mins.
Part 1: Explain that the students will hear four people from the story. They have to decide who is
speaking on the basis of what they say. Play the recording twice, so that they can confirm their first
guesses. Check the answers with the whole class. Ask them what helped them guess.
1. → 2. →
b. c.
3. → 4. →
a. d.
3 mins.
Part 2: This is listening for details. The students try to remember which word they heard, then they
listen and check. You may point out that the verbs are in the past tense and there are two different
kinds of verbs. Elicit the base forms of the irregular verbs.
1. asked for / gave 2. saw / looked 3. drank / slept 4. could / were / had
5 mins.
This is a brief revision of the Past Simple with the focus on the form. Practise reading the verbs and
examples aloud.
Missing past forms:
stay - stayed, watch - watched, post - posted, drink - drank, sleep - slept, have - had
5 mins.
The students are reminded about the different forms used in questions and affirmative sentences.
1. leave ≀ left 2. teach ≀ taught
3. stay 4. eat ≀ take
5. were 6. find ≀ found
6. Being a reporter
5 – 15 mins.
The students write their own questions in the past tense. Check the questions for accuracy. This
activity can be extended into a role play in which half of the class plays the reporters and the other
half the boys. The ‘reporters’ ask the questions written earlier and the ‘boys’ try to answer them.
Possible answers: Were you cold? What did you miss most? What was the most difficult thing? Did
you cry?
7. Write a story
10+ mins.
You can finish the lesson with this task. You can also start it in class and let the students finish it at
home.

The first part of the activity focuses on the pronunciation of irregular verbs. The students should shout
‘Bingo’ after the last word. If they don’t, play the recording again and ask the students to shout the
equivalent present form, or copy the table on the board and cross the words there. The second part
focuses on the written form.

buy. → c.
5 - 10 mins.
This is a well-known logical puzzle. The students might know the answer, but it doesn’t matter – they
will still need to talk about the solution in English. The first task helps to make sure the students
understand the text. Let them work in small groups to solve the puzzle and write down the solution.
They can present their ideas to another group before doing Task 5, where the solution is given. The
text of the puzzle includes examples of the first conditional, which is analysed in the language focus.
1. row 2. one
3. cabbages 4. goat
5. Language focus
5 - 10 min.
The puzzle in task 4 included examples of the first conditional, which are the basis for this analysis. The
students are helped to understand the concept of condition and result/consequence and they find out
which tenses to use and when to use commas.
Part 1: The results in the sentences:
1. If you leave the goat with the cabbages, the goat will eat them.
2. The cabbages will be safe if you leave them with the wolf.
3. The goat will be in danger if it stays alone with the wolf.

2.condition
Part 3
1. is ≀ will try 2. won’t eat ≀ keep
6. Logical consequences
7 - 10 mins.
Part 1: To do the task, the students need to understand the concept of ‘condition’, the meaning of
‘if’ and the logic of the events. After giving feedback, draw the students’ attention to the tenses. The
common problem for many learners is the use of present tense instead of future tense in the conditional
clause, after ‘if’.
1. a. 2. a.
3. b. 4. a.
In Part 2, students practise expressing the same meaning in different ways. Some younger learners
and learners whose native language doesn’t have similar structures may find this task challenging.
1. if I don’t get up early
2. if I take an umbrella
3. if my hair doesn’t get wet
Part 3: Finally, draw the students’ attention to the spelling and pronunciation of will.
7. Practice
5 – 10 mins.
Students apply what they have learned. There are two tasks in this section. In Part 1 they focus on the
form, while in Part 2 they have to think which verb to use as well.
Part 1
1. will become ≀ don’t brush 2. will be ≀ dry
3. don’t wash ≀ won’t let 4. will be ≀ use
5. will look ≀ cut 6. will sweat ≀ wear
Part 2
1. do 2. won’t lose
3. aren’t 4. put
5. wave 6. will hear
Part A
Possible answers: Your skin will look better if you eat more vegetables. Your skin will look better if
drink more water. You will have more energy if you do exercise. You will be less tired if you do exercise.
You will have better grades if you study more. You will have better grades if you don’t miss classes.
Part B
Possible answers: You will get better grades if you study more/if you don’t miss classes/pay attention
in class/prepare for tests. The teachers will like you better if are more polite/pay attention in class/look
tidier.
Unit 2
1. Warm up
5 mins.
Explain that thinking out of the box means looking for unusual, more creative answers.
1. The window. 2. Horse racing.
3. The outside. 4. John.
2. One intelligence?
5 mins.
The students discover that people can be clever in many ways.
Note: H.Gardner used the name intelligence for what used to be describes as talents. However, talents
and skills were not as valued as intelligence. Giving them the label of intelligence makes them raises
them in status. This is an important message for educators and students, who should appreciate and
develop all kinds of skills. In this way each student can feel worthy and fulfilled.
1. → 2. →
d. a.
3. → 4. →
e. b.
5. → 6. →

7. → 8. →
f. h.
10 mins.
Allow enough time for the task as it includes the key language. The students can compare their answers
in pairs. They can read the statements aloud and either agree or disagree with them. They identify their
strengths and write a sentence about it.
4. Personal profiles
10 mins.
Part A: The texts of the profiles draw the students’ attention to the verb forms analysed in the language
focus below. The students will write similar texts later.
Azza:
taking/know
Esteban:
doing/play
Maria:
to understand/painting
Part B: Azza is body-smart, perhaps also music-smart. Esteban is music smart and number-smart. He
plays the guitar and is good at maths. Maria is people-smart and picture-smart. She likes helping people
and she’s good at painting.
Esteban:
Maria:
Part B: Azza is body-smart, perhaps also music-smart. Esteban is music smart and number-smart. He
plays the guitar and is good at maths. Maria is people-smart and picture-smart. She likes helping people
and she’s good at painting.
5 - 7 mins.
The language point is clarified and the students can organise their knowledge about verb forms used
with popular verbs.
Note: In general, British speakers are more likely to use the gerund, and American speakers are more
likely to use the to-infinitive after like, hate, love, and prefer, but both forms are in common use in both
places. Some speakers use the gerund after verbs of preference to express a general preference and
pleasure/displeasure and the infinitive to talk about a specific situation and (in)convenience more than
pleasure. This can be ignored here as many native speakers don’t see any difference anyway.
I like/hate doing homework.
I like/hate/prefer to do homework right after class.
Generally ‘prefer’ allows two forms, but with the preposition ‘to’ only gerund is allowed.
I prefer to swim/swimming in the evening.
I prefer swimming to riding a bike.
6. Let’s practice
5 mins.
The students apply the rules they studied.
1. She isn’t good at solving maths problems.
2. I would like to learn Chinese.
3. My friend prefers doing exercise to listening to music.
4. I want to remember how to spell the words.
5. My sister likes meeting/to meet new people.
10 - 15 mins.
The students practise the language in speaking. Make sure the students understand the phrases before
they choose.
Elicit examples of support for their answers by asking questions:
What sports do you watch/play? When did you last write a test? Why was it difficult/easy? etc.
Give the students some preparation time before they work in pairs. Don’t rush the speaking activity.
The more they practise, the easier they will find writing their profiles.
10 – 20mins.
A boy talks about his interests and preferences. He uses the target language and models how to
present a personal profile. After two listening comprehension tasks, the students start writing their
own profiles. Encourage the students to look at tasks 3, 4 and 7 again for examples and inspiration. If
they need more time, they can finish writing at home.
Part 1: He is body-smart, word-smart, and music-smart.
Part 2: He prefers playing sports to watching sports. Watching sports on television is boring. He isn’t
very good at science. He hates doing experiments. He can sing.
Part 3: I love to do/doing / I like to do/doing / I enjoy doing / I can do / I’m good at doing / I’m
interested in doing / I want to do / I am planning to do / I would like to do / I am learning to do / I
prefer to do/doing
9. Homework
Alternative: Write the profile on the computer and print it out with a photo and bring it to class.
In the next lesson display the texts around the room for others to read. The students read and find the
person who is the most similar to them.
Unit 3
1. Warm up
5 - 10 mins.
Students look at the photos and identify them. Note that there are only visual arts in the photos, but
the students may mention music, dance or literature as their favourite art.
1. a modern sculpture 2. an abstract painting
3. a vase 4. a mural
5. earrings 6. a classical painting
Students decide whether the following sentences are true or false. Then they discuss the questions.
1. True. 2. False. 3. True.
10 mins.
The students revise some vocabulary and relate the types of art mentioned to their experience.
Part A
1. singer 2. painter 3. drummer
4. maker 5. pottery
Part B
Students label the pictures.
1. painter 2. singer 3. guitarist 4. dancer
5. sculptor 6. jeweller 7. drummer 8. pottery-maker
Extension task: Talk about the materials and tools that the people in the photos are using:
What materials are they using? The painter is using paints and a canvass.
Materials and tools used by the people in the photos:
Picture 1 - paints, a canvas, an easel; Picture 2 - a microphone, headphones; Picture 3 - an electric
guitar; Picture 5 - clay, a chisel; Picture 6 - magnifying eyeglasses; Picture 7 - drums, sticks, cymbals,
Picture 8 - potter’s wheel
10 mins.
While listening for the first time, the students focus on any vocabulary that links the texts to the photos.
1. pottery maker (key words: messy, vase, plate)
2. painter (key words: colour, light, da Vinci)
3. guitarist ( key words: fingers, hurt)
4. dancer (key words: fit, energy, moves)
5. sculptor (key word: wood)
The second activity consolidates the vocabulary from the previous exercises. Students complete the
sentences with the correct name of the artist.
1. drummers 2. painters 3. sculptors
4. jewellers 5. singers 6. dancers
7. guitarists
4. Modern art
10 mins.
Pre-teach ‘background’ and ‘straight’ if necessary. When they listen they should focus on the main
points and ignore any unfamiliar vocabulary. Ask the students if they can see a map in the painting.
1. painter
2. style
3. primary
4. white
5. black
6. paintings
7. music
5. Musical instruments
6-10 mins.
Start by checking what instruments the students know. They can mime playing the instruments and
the class can provide the names. Do the quiz. Play the recording twice before giving feedback. Then
ask the students to label the pictures. They check the answers by listening to the recording, which also
serves as a model for pronunciation. Finally, the students talk about their experience and preferences
in relation to musical instruments. This can be done in pairs or small groups.
1. banjo 2. cello 3. drums 4. electric guitar
5. piano 6. saxophone 7. trumpet 8. violin
Part B
5 mins.
This exercise makes the students practise the new vocabulary in a meaningful task. Use it as an
opportunity to work on pronunciation.
1. banjo 2. saxophone 3. drums 4. cello
5. trumpet 6. piano 7. electric guitar 8. violin
10 mins.
This allows the students to revise the vocabulary they learnt so far. Choose one of the games below
and explain the instructions to the students.
Game 1: GUESS WORD - Start by picking a card, and all players (except the one in the hot seat!) get
to see what the guess word is. For example, it could be "swimsuit."
Game 2: DESCRIBE WHAT YOURS IS LIKE - Now take turns describing what yours is like to the player
in the hot seat to see if they can figure out the guess word. For example, the word "swimsuit" can be
described as "Mine has strings" or "Mine gets wet" and so on.
Game 3: BE AS FUNNY AS YOU WANT - Students can get creative with their descriptions and have
fun.
Game 4: DON’T GIVE IT AWAY -The player in the hot seat is trying to get the guess word with as few
clues as possible.

5 – 10 mins.
Quantifiers are useful when we generalise about numerical data presented in tables or graphs, as well
as results of surveys. The students practise using them in this task in preparation for the survey they
conduct in task 9.
1. → 2. → 3. → 4. →
d. a. c. b.
10 mins.
The students conduct a survey in groups of six or more. They present the results to the rest of the
class. They can collate the information and prepare a report about the whole class.
Possible answers: All of us like music. The majority/Many of us like hip-hop, etc.
Part 1
5 mins.
Practise reading the words and elicit what the students already know. Students match the photos with
the correct type of music.
1. hip-hop 2. pop 3. blues 4. rock
Part 2
5 mins.
Students work in pairs and discuss their favourite artists. They answer the questions listed on the cue
card. When they are ready, you may ask them to pick one artist and present him/her to the whole
class.
Unit 4
1. Warm up
5 mins.
The purpose of the warm-up is to revise the concept of a letter as a written symbol of a sound. The
students may come up with words which have the same letter at the beginning but different sounds,
eg. art, about, automobile, eel, eight, enough. This issues will be discussed in the next activity, which
illustrates the relation between letters and sounds. Limit the time for the warm-up.
Part 1
5 - 10 mins.
English has a very large number of sounds (phonemes) but only 26 letters. As a result, the same letters
have to represent various sounds. This leads to pronunciation problems for learners. At this moment
of the lesson, you can introduce the phonemic chart to show all the sounds, or you can do it later when
the students learn about vowels, consonants and voiceless and voiced sounds.
Part 2
10 mins.
The students should know about consonants and vowels. If not, this task can be used to introduce the
concepts. English has 20 vowel sounds, while many languages have only 5 or 6. Ask the students how
many consonants and vowels there are in their language.
Answers:
Group 1 – Consonants are produced with a closure or an obstruction in the mouth. The obstruction
can be formed using the lips, teeth or tongue.
Group 2 – Vowels are produced with the mouth open and no obstruction in the mouth. We can easily
sing vowel sounds.
Group 3 – English has double vowels (called diphthongs), which are two vowels together.
5 mins.
The students analsye words in terms of the number of letters and sounds. This lesson considers
diphthongs as one "sound."
2 sounds: []knee, []earth, []eight 3 sounds: []beige, []heart, []tongue, []through
4 sounds: []letter, []bridge 5 sounds: []because, []stopped, []washes
4. Reading
10 mins.
The text explains how we produce speech sounds. The difference between voiced and voiceless sounds
will be exploited later in the lesson.
1. They are deep in your throat/They form a kind of opening where the air from the lungs go out.
2. The air which goes out from the lungs pushes the vocal cords and makes them vibrate.
3. ‘S’ is pronounced without the vibration of the vocal cords, and ‘z’ is pronounced with the vocal
cords vibrating.
4. When we speak normally the vocal cords vibrate; they don’t vibrate when we whisper.
5. Let’s experiment
5 mins.
Looking at one’s mouth in the mirror while speaking helps to raise awareness of how sounds are
produced, and it can be very interesting to students. They can use mirrors on their phones.
Extension 1
Play the lip reading game. A student makes a sound or a word ‘silently’ – only moving their lips, others
guess the sound or word from the mouth shape.
Extension 2
There are several ways you can use the chart in class.
1. Use it to present and practise the individual sounds either by pressing the sounds for the students
to repeat or by pressing the sound and asking the students to give a word with the sound.
2. Use to present the sounds of words. You press the sounds one by one and the students say or say
and write the whole word, eg. /b r I dZ I z/, /h A: t/ – bridges, heart.
5 mins.
The students practise the difference between voiced and voiceless sounds.
Note that food and foot actually have different vowel sounds.
Key: pear – bear, piece – peas, coat – goat, foot – food, eyes – ice, fan – van
5 - 10 mins.
The students practise sound recognition and sound production.
Answers:
1. Give me the peas, please.
8. Language focus
5 - 10 mins.
The students consolidate the knowledge from this lesson in relation to the pronunciation of
grammatical endings. Remind them that they have to focus on the pronunciation of the verb, not
its spelling and that voiced sounds are produced with vibrations of the vocal cords, which they can feel
when they put fingers on their throat. They practised the difference in tasks 7 and 8.
1. /z/
2. plays
3. voiceless
4. sits
5. /iz/
6. closes
7. voiced
8. opened
9. /t/
10. washed
11. /d/
12. /Id/
13. ended
5 mins.
Analyse the examples to make sure the students understand the instructions. Read the list of phrases
paying attention to the endings. Encourage individual students to read out the lists.
1. paints landscapes ≀ walks her dog ≀ eats healthy food
2. solves logical puzzles ≀ sings operas ≀ enjoys cooking ≀ rows her boat
5 - 10 mins.
A fun activity. Allow the students ample time to practise the tongue twisters individually. You may
allow them to perform the tongue twisters in groups or for the whole class.
11. Homework
Answers:
plane - train, car - star, key - see, house - mouse, boat - goat, ball - wall
Unit 5
1. Warm up
3 - 5 min.
A short activity to put the students in the right mood for the lesson, which is based on humour, mostly
related to word meaning. Help with some of the words if necessary. Elicit ideas and help students to
understand the jokes.
10 mins.
The purpose of the text is to draw the students’ attention to the fact that words can have two meanings
and that spelling can be misleading sometimes. They aren’t expected to learn the terms used in the
texts. Instead, they should focus on the questions inside the text, which prepare them for the other
tasks in the lesson.
Questions within the text:
1. right – wrong
2. right – left
Homonyms
1. letter – in an alphabet, written to sb
2. park – a place with grass and trees/to stop a car
3. watch – an object which tells the time/to observe
Homophones
1. there – their
2. hour – our
3. sea - see
Sentences
1. watching ≀ watch
2. letters ≀ letter
3. park ≀ park
Spelling
there – their,
hour – our,
sea – see,
knight - night
5-10 mins.
This is a fun game that is perfect for all ages. The aim of the game is to guess the opponent’s mystery
word.
Students recycle what they learnt in the previous section.
Each game only takes a few minutes to set up.
Prepare cards with words you would like your students to practice. E.g. letter, park, watch, right, hour,
sea, knight.
One set has been prepared for you to cut out before the lesson.
Students hold them or stick them to their foreheads so that other students can see it clearly. The
person who is guessing his own card cannot look at it. Students collaborate to help elicit words from
each paper. They take turns and play in pairs or small groups.

Below Padding=3mm, Align=Center, ]02f98c59ee46281ba157a2827c608c6b
5 mins.
The students learn the two meanings of four words.
In the second task, another meaning is discovered. Help with the meanings, eg. bright (clever).
Encourage discussion and elicit correct answers.
1. bright 2. change 3. fan 4. smell
Note:
1 – bright (the sun is bright - adjective),
2 – fan (this is a fan - noun),
3 – smell (the shoes smell bad/terrible - verb),
4 – change (she has some change - noun).
1
a. change b. change
2
a. bright b. bright
3
a. fan b. fan
4
a. smell b. smell
3-5 mins.
These are four familiar homophones. The students have to understand the sentence they hear to
decide which word is used. It may be necessary to listen to the sentences twice. Homophones are also
used in the next activity.
1. knows,
2. see,
3. ate,
4. our.
Ask students to think about possible answers. Elicit answers and ask about the meanings of the words
used in each joke.
Joke 1
A: Why is a baseball stadium such a cool place? B: Because it’s full of f _ _ s. [Size=Virtual, ]fans
Joke 2
A: Why did the teacher have to wear sunglasses?
B: Because her students were so b _ _ _ _ t. [Size=Virtual, ]bright
5 mins.
Pre-teach sponge, hole, vampire, penguin, flamingo, stairs, lift, roll down, fall over. The photos will help
with some of the words. The task will be easier when done in groups.
1. stairs 2. sponge
3. hole 4. shadow
5. vampire 6. flamingo
Jokes
1. → 2. → 3. → 4. → 5. → 6. →
a. d. e. f. c. b.
5-10 mins.
It’s a revision of the familiar language. Students read the rules and examples and complete the missing
words. There is a practice task that could be given as homework or used as in-class revision.
Important: In general, American English prefers to use "Do you have X?" whereas British English prefers
"Have you got X?"

5-10 mins.
This is a fun activity designed to engage students into revision of vocabulary.
Students receive a cut up set (or you can ask them to cut it our themselves) and try to present their
word to their partners. The word underlined is the key vocabulary item from the lesson and two other
words are forbidden.
If this is too difficult for your group/student, then change the rules to help them. For example: suggest
using the words in the card.

PART 4
Unit 1
1. Warm up
5 mins.
Check with the whole class. Try to find out what the most popular choice for the first part of the
question is. Encourage the students to support their choices with arguments, for example: My iPhone
is very important to me. I use my iPhone every day. I can find all kinds of information on the Internet.
2. Vocabulary
Part A
3 mins.
Students use the words to complete the definition. Make sure the students pronounce the words
correctly.
1. telescope 2. rover
3. satellite 4. spacecraft
5. rocket
Part B
10 mins.
Help the students to discover the differences in meaning by eliciting their examples before they do
the definitions. If this proves difficult, they may be able to give their examples after you talk about the
definitions.
Possible examples:
Bell invented the telephone/The fridge was a great invention; Columbus discovered America/The
discovery of bacteria improved hygiene; Getting an A in maths last year was my great achievement; I
am planning to explore the woods with my friends.
Students then choose the correct word in the definitions.
a. invent b. discover
c. achieve d. explore
10 mins.
Part A
Pre-teach launch (start), and float (move freely and slowly in air or on water). During the first listening,
the students should focus on the dates. The second listening requires an understanding of some other
details. Elicit corrections of the false sentences. The text of the listening is used in a homework task
after the students have been introduced to the Present Perfect tense.
a. 1957 b. 2008
c. 1961 d. 1990
e. 1965 f. 1609

Pre-teach any words the students may not know. Help with the irregular verbs. Remind the students
not to use any time expressions or any other details in the sentences they write. All the sentences
must be in Present Perfect.
5 mins.
Part A
Students match the beginnings of the sentences to the correct speaker. Then they listen to the
recording and check their answers.
a. Speaker 3 b. Speaker 2 c. Speaker 1

Students answer the final two questions. They should understand that we only use the Present Perfect
to mention the experience for the first time. All details of the experience mentioned will be given in
Past Simple.
1. Present Perfect 2. Past Simple
8. Homework
Part A
For homework, tell the students to read the text of the recording they heard in class and complete it
with one of the verbs. They should use Present Perfect or Past Simple tenses.
1. used
2. has changed
3. have used
4. were
5. made
6. took
7. have landed
8. landed
Part B
Students answer the questions using information from the text. They should write full sentences
paying attention to the tenses.
1. He invented the telescope. 2. He discovered mountains.
3. We sent fruit flies. 4. People haven’t landed on Mars.
7 - 10 mins.
This task can be done as optional homework or additional grammar practice.
The students make questions in Present Perfect. Encourage them to guess the answers before they do
Part B, in which they have to read short texts which answer the questions and provide more related
information. The matching should be done without changing the verbs in brackets.
1. Have we sent tourists into space?
2. Have humans sent spacecraft to every planet in the solar system?
3. Has a spacecraft landed on a comet?
4. How many people have walked on the Moon?
5. How many spacecrafts have visited Jupiter?
6. Have any spacecraft left the solar system?
Part B
Students find answers to the questions above.
A - question 4
B - question 2
C - question 3
D - question 6
E - question 1
F - question 5
Then they write the verbs in brackets in Past Simple or Present Perfect.
a. have been ≀ walked ≀ were ≀ drove
b. have sent ≀ have visited ≀ landed
c. visited
d. has left
e. paid
f. have been ≀ flew
Unit 2
1. Warm up
5-7 mins.
There is a lot of information about space in this lesson. Make sure you get familiar with the content to
be able to guide and support the students. It might be a good idea to check what the students learn
about space in their school. The warm-up introduces the concept of space, which starts beyond the
Earth’s atmosphere, 100 km above the Earth’s surface. Model the pronunciation of the words in the
list. Discuss the answers with the whole class.
(At night: the moon, satellites, the Milky Way, stars. During the day: birds, clouds, the sun, a plane,
sometimes also the moon. We don’t see spaceships very often.)
1. All the things can be seen in the sky.
2. stars, the moon, the Milky Way, clouds, the sun, and a satellite.
3. Birds, planes and clouds are not in space; they are in the Earth’s atmosphere.
10 mins.
The activity presents the most basic facts about space. The key vocabulary (bolded) is clarified in the
context of the questions and in the text.
In the true/false task, the students have a chance to demonstrate what they already know about the
topic. Put them in groups to discuss the statements, then tell them to read the text to check their
answers. Elicit answers from the whole class.
Optionally you can play the recording.
Note:
Some of the words are at C1 level but in a CLIL-type lesson they are absolutely OK – they are core
vocab for the unit. Many students will know about these things from school. Besides, the words are
explained in the text.
1. T 2. F 3. T 4. T 5. T 6. F 7. F 8. F
Reading comprehension
1. The universe is 13.8 billion years old.
2. Stars are older. They grouped to form galaxies.
3. Planets are bigger than asteroids.
4. Gravity – the force with which bigger/heavier objects pull smaller/lighter objects.
5. No, it’s a piece of rock burning in the atmosphere.
6. They are big groups of meteors, also called meteor showers.
3. Let’s play!
5-15mins.
Cut up all of the words and distribute them to your class.
This task allows the students to revise the vocabulary they learnt so far. Choose one of the games
below and explain the instructions to the students.
Game 1: GUESS WORD - Start by picking a card, and all players (except the one in the hot seat!) get
to see what the guess word is. For example, it could be "swimsuit."
Game 2: DESCRIBE WHAT YOURS IS LIKE - Now take turns describing what yours is like to the player
in the hot seat to see if they can figure out the guess word. For example, the word "swimsuit" can be
described as "Mine has strings" or "Mine gets wet" and so on.
Game 3: BE AS FUNNY AS YOU WANT - Students can get creative with their descriptions and have
fun.
Game 4: DON’T GIVE IT AWAY -The player in the hot seat is trying to get the guess word with as few
clues as possible.

Below Padding=3mm, Align=Center, ]f1025b2664b6d83cadf1a699cca326be
5 - 7 min.
The students learn details about two planets in the solar system. This task helps them to understand
what kind of information is included in the table. Here, they only practise finding and interpreting the
information and filling in the gaps properly. They will practise talking about the data later in the lesson,
where they learn how to read km/h, km/s, °C and big numbers. You may try to find out how good they
are at saying numbers.
4,879 (four thousand, eight hundred and seventy-nine); 365 (three hundred and sixty-five)
Notes:
Diameter is the widest part of a circle or sphere (ball). Temperature is measured using a thermometer.
Here it is in degrees Celsius (°C). It is the temperature on the surface and not inside the planet because
the inside of a planet, called a core, can be very hot. For example, the temperature of the Earth’s core
is about 5,200 °C.
a. size: 3 b. 4 c. 2
d. 6 e. 5
Information
1. 4,879 km 2. 58 million km 3. 48 4. 365 days 5. 167
Optional game:
To help students understand the vocabulary they learnt so far propose a short task. Cut up words from
two questions and ask students to put them in order. Elicit correct answers.
7-10 mins.
The students revise and practise talking about speed, distance, size and temperature, as well as using
big numbers. In (c), the students use the information from the table to answer the questions. They
need to be able to give the answers both in writing and orally.
1. degrees 2. minus
3. per second 4. per hour
5. million
a. sixteen point five kilometres per second
b. minus one hundred and fourteen degrees Celsius
c. one hundred and twenty thousand, five hundred and forty-seven kilometres
d. one million, three hundred and fifty thousand, two hundred
e. six billion, four hundred million/six thousand and four hundred million
Questions
1. 12,756 km
2. 167°C (one hundred and sixty-seven)
3. 30 km/s (thirty kilometres per second)
4. 58 million
6. Listening: podcast
1. → 2. → 3. → 4. → 5. → 6. →
a. d. e. f. c. b.
Answers
1. small pieces of ice and rock
2. Venus has an atmosphere with clouds which trap the heat
3. one million
4. a dwarf planet
5. sixty-seven
6. no, the speeds are different
10 mins.
Students work in pairs. Use the example to demonstrate how the activity works. Alternatively, you
play the role of Student A and volunteers act as student B.
1. How far is Mars from the Sun?
2. How big is Mars?
3. What is the temperature on Jupiter?
4. How long does it take Uranus to make one orbit around the Sun?
5. How fast does Venus move around the Sun?
Unit 3
1. Warm-up
5-7 mins.
The illustrations introduce the topic of the lesson and clarify the difference between sci-fi (action takes
place in the future) and fantasy (action takes place at any time, magical creatures and powers are
involved). Elicit titles of fantasy and sci-fi books or films. Elicit more characters or talk about typical
settings and events in both types of stories, eg.
What do knights do? They kill dragons.
What are witches like? They are bad/evil/cruel.
Pictures to label:
1. an alien 2. a dragon 3. a knight
4. a robot 5. a witch 6. a unicorn
Story:
1-3 mins.
Make it clear that a brief summary only is expected. Organise the activity according to the number of
students who are willing to tell a story. If you have four volunteers, make four groups. If you believe
each student can summarise a story, put them in pairs. Alternatively, retell the basic plot of a familiar
story with the whole class. Keep the activity short.
2. A space story
5-10 mins.
Tell the students that they are going to create a science-fiction story and they will be working on
the story in stages. You can use the rest of the lesson in two different ways. You can go through
all the activities quickly and have a whole class presentation of the stories at the end of the lesson.
Alternatively, you can use the extension ideas to have more varied interaction patterns and more
language practice during the process of creating the stories. Time the stages carefully to keep a good
pace. The stories should be created and told before the lesson ends. The writing can be done as
homework. Make sure you have an even number of groups if you want the storytelling to be done in
groups.
In the first part, the students choose characters for themselves and their crews. It may help them if
you prepare a list or a set of pictures and names of characters to choose from. To demonstrate what is
expected, ask one or two students to introduce themselves to the class. Encourage them to get into
their characters when they speak. Then form small groups (maximum 4) in which the students will stay
until the end of the lesson. Each student introduces herself or himself to their group.
5-7 mins.
Remind the students to choose new crew members for their skills. They can choose the members for
their personality (brave, clever, hard-working, handsome, beautiful, funny) or for their skills (can fly,
fight, knows physics). If you have a small number of groups, ask them to present their crews to the
class and explain their choices if possible. With a big class, make them present their crew to another
group.
5-7 mins.
The students present the names of their ships and their missions to the class or to another group. They
can draw the spaceships and then describe them to others (see the extension).
Extension: Picture dictation. Two groups work together. The students describe their spaceship to the
other group to draw it. Then they compare their drawings. It’s an opportunity to revise descriptive
vocabulary, such as shapes, sizes, etc.
Part A: spaceship description
Part B: mission description
7-10 mins.
Only a basic description is required unless you plan to use the extension idea below. Remind the
students to stay in character when they decide why they like or don’t like the island. Don’t let them
forget about their other two crew members.
Extension: Students work on the text and copy it on a big sheet of paper. Then they display the texts
for others to read. They read other groups’ reports and write 2-3 questions to learn more about the
planets. This is an opportunity to revise question forms. Each crew tries to answer the questions,
either in writing or orally.
6. The aliens
7-10 mins.
This is the climax of the story so motivate the students to think of something interesting. Remind them
about their mission. The ending of the story must link to the beginning. Suggest that the students can
speak as the characters they are in the story to add a personal touch. Stick to the time limit. Give
help when the students practise telling their stories. Tell them to use their voice, gestures or miming
to make the listeners more interested and more involved.
10 mins+.
If you have a small number of groups, they can present their stories to the whole class and organise class
feedback. Encourage the students to ask questions about details of the story or ask comprehension
questions to the class after each story.
Listen and note down any language problems which you can address in the next session or in future
lessons. Do they use any conjunctions? The students’ stories can be also used as a context to teach
past continuous or past perfect.
8. Language focus
7 mins.
The language focus clarifies the meanings and functions of six common conjunctions. Later, the
students are encouraged to use them in the written versions of their stories.
Part A:
1. because 2. so 3. and 4. but 5. before, when
Part B:
1. and 2. but 3. because 4. so 5. before 6. when
10-12 mins.
Students use the six conjunctions in a controlled and free practice.
Part A:
1. → 2. → 3. → 4. →
d. b. g. a.
5. → 6. → 7. → 8. →
c. f. h. e.
10. Homework
20+ mins.
The students have a chance to polish their stories and practise using the conjunctions. They can also
write a completely new story if they wish.
Extension: The students write dialogues and in class act out some scenes from their stories, eg. meeting
the aliens.
Unit 4
1. Warm up
3-5 mins.
After the students answer the questions, encourage them to share any other things/words on the
page they can understand. If possible, visit the website and explore it together. You need to go to the
main page and then choose SPACE STATION. There will be different photos and the timer will show a
different number.
Website: https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/main/index.html
15–20 mins.
Elicit a few guesses with the whole class, then let the students work on their own or in pairs. After
listening, make sure everybody has the right answers. Accept short answers like ‘400 km’ or ‘108
metres long’ or, if you want to consolidate the language from previous lessons, ask the students to
write complete sentences. Exercise 2c clarifies the meaning of some vocabulary from the recording.
Note: The podcast was recorded in March 2022, so some of the data may not be accurate when you
use the worksheet.
EXTENSION – speaking practice/memory challenge
Students don’t look at the worksheet. You say one of the numbers from 2b and they have to say what
it refers to, for example:
You: 22 Students: The temperature inside the station is 22 degrees Celsius.
Students can also test each other in pairs.
Part A:
a. 400 b. 108 c. 28,000 d. 90
e. 22 f. 256 g. 249 h. 3,000
Part C:
1. The Moon circles Earth.
3. Space routines
12 -15 mins.
The students learn more about life in the station.
Start by making them predict what life on a space station is like. You may expand the predictions and
use brainstorming and provide them with themes to think about, eg. food, water, sleeping, walking,
washing, cooking. Elicit ideas and answers to the questions before the reading. Accept any reasonable
ideas and encourage group or class discussion. You might want to write some of the ideas on the board
and come back to them after the reading.
There are a lot of videos from NASA presenting the daily life of the astronauts there that you can use
(several links below). The text also revises the modal verbs can, can’t, have to, don’t have to in context.
They are the focus of the Language Focus. Finish this section by asking the students to list the three
best and three worst things about living in a space station.

Part A:
students’ own answers
The biggest difference is zero gravity, which makes some things easier (lifting, moving around) and
some more difficult (using water for drinking or washing, cutting hair, eating biscuits).
Part B:
True on Earth – 2, 5, 7;
True in space – 1, 3, 4, 6, 8.
5-7 mins.
The students consolidate what they have learned about the two modal verbs so far. The meaning is
clarified.
Sentence functions:
1. → 2. → 3. → 4. →
b. d. a. c.
Sentences:
1. We can use solar energy to heat our homes. 2. We don’t have to cut down trees to keep
warm.
3. Humans have to protect their skin from solar 4. Humans can’t live on the Moon.
radiation.
5. Practice
10-12 min. Students practise the modal verbs. For each point in 5c elicit examples from two or
three students and ask follow-up questions if possible. Make sure the students use ‘can’ and ‘can’t’
for possibility and not ability or permission.
Part A:
1. True 2. True 3. False
4. False 5. True 6. True
Part B:
1. can’t 2. don’t have to 3. can’t 4. have to
5. don’t have to 6. have to 7. can 8. have to
6. Let’s play
10 mins.
Cut out the words below and distribute them among the students. The students then try to explain
the vocabulary to their groupmates. Circulate and help as needed.
[Image Width=150mm, Image Height=100mm, ]0111f1b372739fff6081c4647426f25e
15 min.
Divide the students into small groups (4-6). They start by choosing a name for their planet. Set a
time limit for the preparation. The groups present their planets orally and then the class can ask
questions. With big classes, the groups can prepare posters with one representative standing next
to it and answering questions, while the other students walk around and look. At the end, the class
can choose the planet which is more/most interesting, dangerous, funny.
8. Homework
5-10 mins.
The task summarises the content of the unit.
Extension: If your students like drawing, they can be asked to draw the imaginary planet they described
in class and write the basic facts about it. In the next lesson the students are going to create a script
for a science-fiction movie and such drawings could be an inspiration.

PART 5
Unit 1
1. Warm-up
7 mins.
The warm-up introduces the concept of living and non-living things. Support the students in their
attempts to identify the differences between them (see the key).
Part A
1. lava, fire, a volcano 2. an insect
3. moss, a mushroom 4. a virus
5. a bird 6. rock
7. sand 8. grass
9. coral, fish 10. a spider web
Part B
Living things: a bird, grass, an insect, moss, a mushroom, a virus.
Non-living things: fire, lava, rock, sand, a volcano, a spider web
More living things: trees, plants, animals; Non-living things: water, a river, a lake, clouds, a mountain,
etc. All living things need energy or food to survive. Living things multiply, get old and die.
They also need air (some microorganisms don’t), light (some forms of life survive without it) and a stable
temperature, usually warm.
3 mins.
This short task consolidates knowledge from the previous unit and highlights the fact that Earth is a
unique planet.
1. (shape) They are round. (movement) They orbit the sun and spin.
2. Only Earth has liquid water, oxygen and life.
10 mins.
The students start by revising what they have learnt about Earth.
The first listening task focuses on general understanding. Make sure the students understand the
words in the lists. Most of it should be familiar from the previous unit.
Pre-teach amount, movement, and seasons if necessary.
After listening, they work in pairs, or small groups, which should help them to get the correct answers
for both tasks. Don’t make them listen again – they will do that for the next tasks.
Part A
1. → 2. → 3. → 4. → 5. → 6. →
d. b. e. a. c. f.
The second part requires understanding the most important facts, while ignoring details and any
difficult vocabulary. It shows the students they can understand a text which contains unfamiliar words.
Before listening, let the students predict the answers or at least the kind of information missing. Use
the grammatical clues to identify speech parts, the context and the students’ knowledge to predict the
answers.
Part B
Earth’s size
Earth’s moon
the amount of water on Earth
its atmosphere
Earth’s movement
the seasons
Part C
Part D
1. tilted 2. species 3. evaporates 4. freezes
4. Inside Earth
10 -12 mins.
The first task makes the students think about what is inside Earth. The second part of the video contains
some unfamiliar concepts and vocabulary. That’s why the students should study the illustration and
read the statements carefully because they will allow to answer some of the questions even before
they watch the video.
Part A
1. From inside Earth. 2. From inside Earth. 3. It’s hot.
Part B
1. True
2. True
3. True
4. False - It’s rock, not metal
5. True
7 mins.
The students revise the basic facts about countable and uncountable nouns. They also learn about the
limited use of the indefinite article.
Part A
A – uncountable nouns;
B – countable nouns.
Only countable nouns (group B) have plural forms.
Part B
1. Uncountable 2. Countable 3. Countable
4. Uncountable 5. Uncountable 6. Uncountable
Part C
1. water
2. ice
3. vegetable
4. vegetables
5. animal
6. tree
6. Practise
7-10 mins.
The students categorise nouns on the basis of their grammar and meaning. Then they practise the use
of articles with countable and uncountable nouns.
Part A
1. oxygen ≀ water 2. a moon 3. rock
4. iron 5. a mouse 6. lava
Part B
1. a moon 2. life 3. plants 4. oxygen 5. A year
10 min+. The game practises the use of nouns and determiners. Before the lesson, copy and cut up a
set of cards (A and B) for each pair. Help the students with the instructions. Demonstrate how to play
the game.
8. Homework
5 mins.
Circulate and help as needed. In Part A, encourage the students to try and name other elements that
are not mentioned in the exercise (e.g. rocks). In Part B, write any difficult or interesting vocabulary on
the board after checking the task)
Part A
1. zebras 2. sand/water 3. trees 4. water
5. giraffe 6. elephant 7. birds 8. monkeys
9. water 10. grass 11. hippo 12. sand
Unit 2
1. Warm-up
3-5 mins.
Students work in small groups. There are two possible correct answers depending on the category
selected– the type of place or the climate. Tell the students to locate the places on the map above.
When they do it correctly, they will notice that the places in each group are in the same climate zone.
1. have cold climate/are geographical regions (Greenland an island);
2. have hot climate/are countries;
3. Have temperate climate/are cities Paris in France, Wellington in New Zealand, Santiago – Chile);
10-12 mins.
Ask the students to work in groups. You can help with the names of the climate zones by saying
that ‘tropical’ means very hot, ‘polar’ is very cold, and ‘temperate’ is neither very hot nor very cold.
The twelve sentences use very basic vocabulary to describe climate zones. However, make sure the
students understand them well before they discuss the answers together. There are some unknown
words in the video, but the students don’t need them to do the main task, so they should worry about
them. The word ‘precipitation’ is used again later in the lesson.
Part A:
Tropical: b, e h, k
Polar: a, g, i, j, l
Temperate: c, d, f
Optional questions to ask in your class.
Which climate zone do you live in?
How many seasons are there?
Does it rain a lot?
What’s the average temperature?
Glossary:
diverse - showing a great deal of variety; very different.
habitat - the natural home or environment of an animal, plant, or another organism.
fall - the amount of water falling in rain, snow, etc., within a given time and area.
precipitation - rain, snow, sleet, or hail that falls to or condenses on the ground.
12-15 mins.
The students guess the answers and then compare them with what they hear in the video. Task 3c
further clarifies most of the questions. The text also introduces the passive, which is studied later in
the language focus.
Notes: Moss is a plant. Algae are neither animals nor plants – they are a separate type of organism.
Lichen is a combination of a fungus and algae. Elicit or give the students the native equivalents for
these words. The three animals mentioned in the text are in the video so the students should be able
to provide the L1 words for them.
Part A:
Part B:
1. True 2. True
3. True 4. False
5. False 6. True
Part C:
1. Pole 2. rain
3. desert 4. ice
5. temperature 6. water
7. continent 8. scientists
10-12 mins.
The students are introduced to the concept of the passive voice. They start by noticing that the choice
of the passive or active voice doesn’t affect the meaning. Then they focus on the form.
Part A: Yes, the meaning is the same.
Auxiliary verbs
1b. Antarctica is surrounded by the Southern Ocean. 2a. The research stations are used by scientists
from many countries. 3b. Trees in tropical forests for wood are cut for wood. 4a. Seals are found in
cold seas.
Optional
Find and underline 8 examples of the passive voice in the text in 3c.
give this example: Antarctica is located on the South Pole.
2. Precipitation is better known as rain.
3. An area with very little rain is considered a desert.
4. Antarctica is a desert that is covered by ice and snow.
5. The water on the ground is always frozen. 6. Antarctica is surrounded by water.
7. Seals, octopuses, and whales are found in the water around it.
8. The scientific research stations are shared by scientists and explorers from all over the world.
Part C:
1. call 2. discovered
3. discover 4. discovered
5. have discovered 6. will discover
5 mins.
There is more practice of the differences between active and passive voice. Remind the students the
passive forms always have the verb ‘be’. When they complete the sentences, point out that they have
to use the active voice when the doer of the action is before the verb.
1. feeds 2. are fed 3. will brush
4. will be brushed 5. has been washed 6. has been wrapped
7. watch 8. are watched 9. are followed
10 mins.
The students see how the passive voice can be used in definitions.
Key: 1) a mobile phone, 2) chair, 3) teeth, 4) chalk, 5) egg, 6) hair.
Alternative. Students play the game in pairs. The riddles have to be copied onto pieces of paper with
the answers on the answers on the other side. The cards are placed on the table with the riddles facing
up. Students take turns at guessing the riddles.
7. Homework/additional practice
10 -12 mins.
Now the students focus on the past participle forms of verbs. They practise forming passive and active
voice forms in a text about Antarctica.
Part A:
1. given 2. known 3. put 4. seen 5. spent
Part B:
1. was put 2. was discovered
3. was given 4. existed
5. was not seen 6. saw

Unit 3
1. Warm-up
3 mins.
The students start with geographical knowledge that is the most familiar to them.
5 mins.
Students revise/learn the names of the continents, find them on the map and order them from the
biggest to the smallest.
3. Landforms
5-7 mins.
Students revise/learn vocabulary and use it in relation to what they know about the world.
Part A:
1. mountain 2. desert 3. river
4. lake 5. sea 6. waterfall
Part B:
1. mountain 2. waterfall 3. desert
4. sea 5. lake 6. river
10-12 mins.
Check the answers and give feedback. You can let the groups swap their answers and use peer
correction as you read the correct answers. The groups score one point for each correct answer. Task
4b consolidates the vocabulary and is best done individually. Check the answers with the whole class
and work on the pronunciation.
Notes:
Polar bears live in Europe.
Angel Falls is in Venezuela.
Countries in Sahara: Algeria, Chad, Egypt, Libya, Mali, Mauritania, Morocco, Niger, Sudan, and Tunisia
EXTENSION
The students stay in their groups and write five more geography questions. They take turns to lead a
short quiz for the rest of the class.
Part A:

6. biggest ocean 7. waterfall 8. hottest 9. desert 10. continent
10 mins +.
There are five quite specific questions, but you can start by eliciting any other information the students
have about the continent, e.g. the countries, cities, languages. They may have seen movies or read
adventure books about Africa. The second listening exercise requires the students to support their
answers with evidence from the text.
EXTENSION
The video shows more animals that are mentioned in the text. You can ask the students to watch the
video again and list all of them. Apart from crocodiles, elephants, giraffes, gazelles, hyenas, and zebras,
they can see monkeys, baboons, lions, a snake, a beetle, donkeys, camels, a frog, rhinoceros, leopards,
a turtle, antelopes.
Part A:
1. b. 2. c. 3. b. 4. c. 5. c.

2. False /’Africa isn’t all sand and dunes. Not by a long shot’/ ‘tropical grassland covers almost 65%
of Africa’
3. True/’rainforest ...... full of life. Mammals, birds, amphibians, ........ 10,000 species of plants.
4. False/’the Savanna has only two seasons. Wet... and dry’
5. True/ ‘the oldest civilizations began in Africa. In Ancient Egypt – dating back over 5,000 years.’
5-7 mins.
This task teaches intensive reading and drawing logical conclusions. It also shows how to guess the
meaning of unfamiliar vocabulary from the context. Take time to discuss the answers as a whole class.
It may be useful to point out that the sentences in a text are connected and that sometimes different
words are used to refer to the same thing.
‘... there are herbivores, also known as plant eaters. Zebras, elephants, giraffes, and gazelles ..’
Part B:
1. graze 2. herds 3. roam 4. alongside
Part C:
1. Herbivores 2. Carnivores

8. Let’s play
10 mins.
Cut out the cards and distribute them among the students. Circulate and help as needed.
10-12 mins.
The language of the unit is consolidated; the students get more practice of relative clauses and use
the topic vocabulary. This activity models that homework task, which can be used for revision of
vocabulary from previous units.
1. where ≀ nest 2. which/that ≀ wings 3. which/that ≀ brain 4. which/that ≀ blood
5. which/that ≀ milk 6. where ≀ Asia 7. where ≀ Egypt 8. who ≀ biologist
9. which/that ≀ dune 10. where ≀ volcano
10 mins.
Prompt the students to use the definitions from the previous exercise if needed. Write any
useful/interesting/difficult vocabulary on the board to practise with the whole group.
Possible answers:
1. an animal that flies/which flies. 2. an animal that/which eats meat/other
animals.
3. a big area where there are a lot of 4. a person who/that takes photos.
trees/where a lot of trees grow.
5. a man who/that has grandchildren. 6. frozen water/rain that/which falls from the
sky.
Unit 4
1. Warm-up
5-7 mins.
Students need to work in groups in case they don’t have enough knowledge about the world. Keep the
activity short. There shouldn’t be more than five groups so that each can say a few sentences about
their place. It would be best to avoid any group talking about Chile as it is the topic of the following
activities.
2. A trip to Chile
7-10 mins.
For 2a and 2b, the students should rely on their knowledge only. They will find all the answers in the
reading task.
1. South America 2. Santiago 3. Spanish
4. Argentina, Bolivia, Peru 5. the Andes 6. tropical, temperate,
subpolar
10 - 12 mins.
(a) The students can find the four main directions in the text above (2c). The example ‘northeast’ will
help them with create the other directions. (b) Students should label the map to help them with the
next activity. The key provides the colours as presented in the map in the worksheet. They are different
in the map attached in the teacher’s notes. Decide how to best provide feedback to your students.
EXTENSION. You can bring a compass to class or the students can use the compass they have on their
phones to find the main directions in the classroom.
Part A
Directions:
1. north 2. south 3. east 4. west
5. northwest 6. northeast 7. southwest 8. southeast
Part B

5-7 mins.
The video shows an American girl talking about Chile, a country she would like to visit. This task checks
the understanding of the text without paying attention to some unfamiliar words in the recording.
Make sure the students understand the sentences before they listen.
10 – 12 mins.
The students consolidate vocabulary and discover which proper nouns are used with the definite article.
Apart from practising the use of the definite article with geographical names, the task also requires
logical thinking and some basic geographical knowledge

15 mins.
10 minutes for preparation and 5 for presentations. Students work in groups to prepare a short
presentation. There should be maximum 4 groups if you want them to give the presentations during
this lesson. They should write down their answers and practise reading them aloud. The presentations
shouldn’t last longer than 1 minute. Alternatively, set this task as homework for groups of three or
four students. You might use their presentations as an assessment task for this unit.
7. Homework
20+ mins.
After checking the homework, write any interesting vocabulary/expressions on the board so that the
whole group can get familiar with them.
7- 10 mins.
The tasks use a fragment of the text to teach some vocabulary and provide further practice of the
passive voice introduced in lesson 4.3. The students practise reading and guessing word meaning from
context. This is a very useful skill, which helps students become more independent readers. Allow
ample time but don’t allow using dictionaries. After correct matching in 5b, the students should be
able to provide L1 equivalents for the new words, if you encourage translation. Otherwise, doing task
5c also proves that the words have been learned.

–ing adjectives in the language focus of the lesson. In 1b elicit a few examples from the students to
clarify the meaning of the adjectives for the whole class.
1. frightened 2. amazed 3. tired
4. surprised 5. amused 6. excited
10-15 mins.
Students use their general knowledge, thinking skills and practise vocabulary from the text at the same
time. You may encourage the students to Google the questions in English.
Jellyfish normally live in the ocean. The lake mentioned in the text is an exception.
Part A: students’ own answers
Part B:
a. Lake Baikal

clarify the meaning of some of the words.
1. amused ≀ amusing 2. bored ≀ boring 3. frightened ≀ frightening
4. shocked ≀ shocking 5. excited ≀ exciting 6. amazed ≀ amazing
5 mins.
Students recognise emotions based on intonation and then practice using intonation to express
emotions themselves.
1. bored 2. worried (also frustrated) 3. shocked
4. surprised 5. amazed/fascinated 6. excited
5-7mins.
The students can simply mime emotions or they can act out whole scenes including short dialogues.
They cannot use the adjectives they are trying to demonstrate.
8. Homework
5 mins.
The tasks consolidate the language from the lesson. The students’ sentences can be used for more
practice in the next lesson.

5 min.
Students practise the vocabulary and use their general knowledge. This task uses subject questions,
which are the language focus of the lesson. Notice the mix of plural and singular forms.
Sample answers:
1. worms, snakes, fish
2. a penguin, an ostrich
3. birds, turtles
4. fish, frogs (NOT whales or dolphins)
5. birds, a monkey, a gorilla
Notes:
Frogs and other amphibians breathe both underwater (through their skin) and on land (using lungs).
10 - 12 min.
Most of the body parts are new so guessing is OK. Give the students time to guess the animals as well,
and perhaps write their names down. They will be able to check both the body parts and the names of
the animals when they listen to the recording. They can check the spelling of the animal names in 2b.
Part A:
1. hooves 2. paws 3. feet 4. hand
5. a paw 6. a tail 7. a fin 8. a tail
9. flippers 10. horns 11. a beak 12. wings

5. Kangaroos
10 min.
Students practise using body parts and describing kangaroos. This also prepares them for the listening
task. Go through the questions together before they watch the video and elicit guesses. After watching,
encourage pair work before whole class feedback.
Part A: students’ own answers
Explain that pouch is the ‘bag’ where the mother keeps the baby
Part B:
1. As big as an adult human.
2. Grass.
3. They hop on their back legs.
4. They kick with one of their legs and balance/stand on their tails.
5. A mob.
6. A baby kangaroo.
7. They carry their young in a pouch.
5-7 min.
The students answer the questions. Different answers to some of the questions are possible and if the
students come up with any, accept them. In the next activity, they will analyse the structure of these
questions.
7 mins.
Students discover the specific structure of subject questions. 1-5 are not easy questions. Some
students may notice the absence of ‘do’ and ‘does’ in 5-8. You can use 1-5 only as a starting point
and after short feedback direct the students to 5-8 and the table. Alternatively, use the extension idea
below.
EXTENSION:
The students write full-sentence answers to the questions in 6 and highlight the question words in the
questions and the words which directly answer the question in the answer. This will help them to see
that the answers in 5-8 are all the subjects of the sentences.
Where do kangaroos live? Kangaroos live in Australia.
How does a horse move? A horse walks, runs and jumps.
How fast can a shark swim? A shark can swim at a speed of over 50 km/h.
How many arms does an octopus have? An octopus has eight arms.
Which bird lives in Antarctica? The penguin lives in Antarctica.
What animals carry their babies in pouches? Marsupials carry their babies in pouches.
Which birds can swim? Penguins can swim.

3. visit
Part C
The underlined words are:
2. I hate spiders.
3. The monkey made the noise.
4. I heard a monkey.
5. My parents and my sister live with me.
6. I live with my parents and my sister.
Subject questions: 1, 3, 5.
10 min.
The students practise using subject questions. The main thing to remember about subject questions
is not to use ‘do’, ‘does’ or ‘did’. This task reinforces using the main verb after ‘which’.
Part A
1. sleep 2. runs 3. fly 4. flies 5. swim
6. survive 7. live 8. weighs
Part B
1. koala 2. peregrine falcon 3. blue whale 4. turtle
5. kangaroo rat 6. bar-headed goose 7. sailfish 8. cheetah
9. Homework
10 mins.
The topic links the texts to the video. The students learn about two interesting animals and then
practise writing wh-questions and subject questions.
Unit 2
1. Warm-up
5-7 mins.
Students guess the animal based on the pictures and label the photos accordingly. This exercise is a
nice link to the first lesson in this unit (animal bodies).
1. horse’s mouth 2. cat’s eye 3. dog’s paw
2. Young animals
5-7 mins.
Give feedback on task 2a and practise the pronunciation. Then elicit descriptions of the photos in 2b.
EXTENSIONS: Encourage the students to give as many details as they can. Ask questions to elicit more
information.
Where do kangaroos live? (Only in Australia.)
Where do brown bears live? (In temperate climates, on the northern hemisphere.)
Where do ducks live? (On all continents, apart from Antarctica.)
3. A metamorphosis
15 mins.
The students try to guess the link between the photos after labelling them. It’s also possible that
they’ve learned about life cycles in science classes. If they have, ask them to order the stages, link
them to the right animal and label the photos before they watch the video. After watching the video,
check the answers with the whole class, and proceed to task 3c, in which the students order sentences
describing the stages. When they finish, they use the language to describe the life cycle of a butterfly.
Task 3d teaches some vocabulary from the video.
Part A:
1. frog’s eggs 2. a pupa 3. a tadpole 4. a caterpillar
5. butterfly’s eggs 6. a pupa 7. a butterfly 8. a frog
Part B:
1. → 2. → 3. →
c. a. b.
Part C:
A female butterfly lays eggs on the leaves of a plant.
Inside the eggs, caterpillars begin to grow.
When an egg is ready, it hatches and a caterpillar comes out.
It eats a lot and grows quickly.
It changes into a pupa.
The pupa stays inside a cocoon.
Part D:
1. → 2. → 3. → 4. →
d. h. e. g.
5. → 6. → 7. → 8. →
b. f. a. c.
10-12 mins.
The students learn to use a number of linking words to indicate sequence.
Part A: After, After some time, Then, Next, Finally
Part B:
1. later
2. then
3. before that
4. after
Part C:
1. First
2. Then/Later/After that
3. After/When
4. Then/Later/After that
5. Finally
12-15 mins.
The students guess the answers to the questions before watching the video. Then, they use the
information to practise the linking words.
Part A:
1. In water.
2. About two weeks.
3. The back legs grow first.
4. They grow inside the body and come outside when they are fully grown.
5. It goes into its body.
6. For jumping on land and swimming in water.
Part B:
1. First
2. Next/Then/After that
3. Next/Then/After that
4. Next/Then/After that
5. Finally
6. Before or after?
5-6 mins.
The students practise using the conjunctions before and after in complex sentences.
1. When the small storks grow, they leave the nest.
2. After the hen lays the eggs, the chicks develop inside the eggs.
3. The hen sits on the eggs for some time before the eggs hatch. Before the eggs hatch, the hen sits
on them for some time.
4. After the chicks develop inside the eggs, they crack the eggs to get outside.
8-10 mins.
Students practise speaking about one of the life cycles introduced in the lesson. Encourage them to
rehearse in pairs or/and record their mini-presentations. Encourage pointing to the illustrations.
Extension: Use this task for assessment. The students can prepare their own visuals and add as much
detail as they want.
8. Homework: part 1
5 mins.
Students read about the life cycle of a ladybird, while the vocabulary from the lesson is practised in
context.
1. is called 2. on its wings 3. lays eggs 4. an egg 5. sheds its skin
hatches
6. grows 7. hangs 8. comes out 9. change a lot 10. don’t change
9. Homework: part 2
5 mins.
The linking words are practised in a personalised context.
Unit 3
1. Warm-up
5 mins.
Students work in small groups. They think about different types of living things.
Give the students more information as needed (see notes below).
Later in the lesson, the students will learn about animals that don’t move around (corals) and plants
that eat animals (Venus flytrap).
Notes:
Both animals and plants:
1. are living things,
2. need a source of energy or food (plants need oxygen, light and water, animals need oxygen, food
and water),
3. grow and die,
4. reproduce/create new plants or animals.
Only plants:
1. produce their own food,
2. stay in one place (some seaweed float),
3. create seeds,
4. develop new plants from their parts.
Only animals:
1. eat other living things,
2. move around to find food,
3. create eggs or give birth,
4. have muscles, eyes, mouths, ears, etc.
2. Animal or plant?
7-8 mins.
The photos show animals which look like plants and plants that look or behave like animals. This is an
introduction to animal camouflage, which is the topic of the lesson.
Part A:
a. animal b. animal c. animal d. animal
e. animal f. plant g. plant h. animal
Part B:
1. b 2. g 3. h 4. e 5. c 6. a 7. f
8. d
3. Predator or prey?
6-7 mins.
A short activity to clarify the meaning of the words predator and prey and to recycle vocabulary.
Part A: anemone, cat, dog, lion, orchid mantis, penguin, wolf
Part B:
1. → 2. → 3. →
a. f. d.
4. → 5. → 6. →
b. c. e.
5-6 mins.
Start by asking the students if they have ever seen a cat trying to catch a bird, a fly or a mouse, or
what they do if they want to kill a fly or watch a bird. The photos should also help with ideas. Stop the
activity when the class as a whole can provide two examples for each question as the topic is covered
in the next activity.
Part A: They run, hide, stand still, pretend to be dead.
Part B: They run faster, bite, poison or paralyse the prey, they hide, move very quietly, build traps.
5. To eat or to be eaten?
10 mins.
The activity teaches and consolidates vocabulary related to the topic. It will also help the students to
understand the video about camouflage later.
Cut out the word cards provided below and distribute them among students in two mixed-up sets.
Circulate and help as needed.
Option 1: the students put the words next to the correct category.
Option 2: the students first arrange the words in the correct categories and then glue them down on
a separate sheet of paper.
[Image Width=145mm, Image Height=140mm, ]2f1566976503ce2c0a64a9a1a8ebfdf0
6. Masters of camouflage
15 mins.
This is a challenging task teaching the skill of selective listening and taking notes. Make sure the
students understand the task and the sentences they have to complete while listening. They need
to understand that the notes summarise the recording but use different words. The notes include the
most important information from the video; they explain what camouflage is and how it works. Give
the students time to read the notes and predict the answers. Make it clear that if they manage to
complete the task, they will understand everything that they need to know. The purpose of the task
is to understand the gist. The other task focuses on vocabulary development. Much of the vocabulary
in 6d is new, but the students have already heard it in the video. They can do some guessing; it will

5 mins.
Students revise animal names and their spelling.
bee cheetah clownfish frog
kangaroo parrot earthworm snake
seahorse spider
EXTENSION: The teacher or volunteers spell the names of animals and the class says the name. This
can continue in pairs. It’s a good idea to give the students a few minutes to prepare – they can look at
the warm-up photos in the previous lesson for ideas. See the list below:
albatross, bear, cow, crocodile, donkey, duck, falcon, gazelle, giraffe, goose, gorilla, hamster, koala,
llama, lizard, monkey, octopus, panda, rabbit, reindeer, shark, sheep, spider, toucan, turkey, turtle,
vulture, worm, zebra

Elicit some verbs of movement from the students before they watch the video. Use the notes below
if your students are interested in the topic or if they suggest other answers than those included in the
key.
NOTES:
1. Cheetahs can jump and swim (they don’t like it). Spiders can also climb up the threads of their webs
or even float attached to them.
2. Snakes can climb and some snakes can swim, too.
3. Both frogs and kangaroos can swim, neither of them can walk.
4. Bees can walk (even upside down. Parrots can climb using their feet and beaks, and they can walk.

Optionally, you can cut up the words and distribute the cards to your students. They should explain
the words in their cards so that their team members guess them.
5-7 mins.
Students are encouraged to make links between animal movement and their body parts (covered in
the previous lesson).
1. Because it doesn’t have legs. 2. Because it doesn’t have wings.
3. Because it doesn’t have legs. 4. Its fins and tail.
5. Its legs. 6. Its flippers and tail.

PART 7
Unit 1
1. Warm up
5-7 mins.
This task draws students’ attention to the objects around them. They should be able to list 10-20
objects by looking around or thinking about their homes with the help of the photos. Have the students

In the final task, they talk about the contents of their school bags. If they want to talk about things
not mentioned in 2a, b and c, help them with the vocabulary; prepare a list of objects they might have,
bring pictures or bilingual dictionaries, or let them use the Internet. After the students have worked in
pairs, ask a few individuals to show the contents of their bags to the class.

10 min.
The students can practise the tenses using the version of the task presented in the worksheet. Alternatively,
use the extension cards from activity 4. The cards are in a pile with the word/picture facing up. Student
A takes two cards and decides which object was invented first. The dates are on the back of the cards.
Then, they make a sentence using Past Simple and Past Perfect. They cannot use the verbs ‘invent’ or
‘use’. If they cannot think of a sentence, they put the cards at the bottom of the file.
Unit 2
1. Warm-up
5-7 mins.
Ensure the students understand all the words and put them in pairs or small groups. Give feedback
on task 1a before the students proceed to part b. Discuss the questions with the whole class. With
stronger groups, try to elicit more verb-noun collocations than those used in the examples (see examples
below).
Part A:
Things that didn’t exist 200 years ago:
cameras, cars, credit cards, deodorant, mobile phones, planes, whiteboards;
10 mins.
The students learn vocabulary (nouns) in preparation for the listening. They watch a short video
comparing life in the past and at present and make notes. In task 3c, they learn and practise verb-noun
collocations related to the video.
Part A, Pictures:
1. a water tap 2. a vacuum cleaner 3. a broom 4. a gas cooker

word/phrase.
10-15 mins.
The students have a chance to demonstrate their knowledge of history. Put them in groups between 4
to 8 and be flexible with time if you see they are involved and have ideas to share. Pool the information
as a whole class and praise all contributions. Provide language support when necessary.
The photos show stone tools, fire and metal tools, sowing and ploughing with the help of
domesticated animals in Egypt, Egyptian pictograms, ancient Greek architecture, ancient South

15-20 mins.
In 4a, students read the sentences, which summarise the content of the video. They can guess the
order before they watch the video and check their predictions. In 4b, they practise vocabulary used
in the recording. While reading the text, they further check their comprehension of the recording and
the new vocabulary, and they also practise reading skills.

The students use the structure to talk about their own lives.
15+ mins.
The students practise the use of Past Simple versus ‘used to’ in a personalised context.
My grandparents lived in a small village near a forest. They didn’t have electricity until the 1970s. My
grandmother cooked on a wood stove. In summer they had meals at a big table in the garden. My
mother was born in the village. She and her sister walked 5 kilometres to school. They didn’t have a
computer or even a television. In their free time, they played games and read books from the library.
My mother went to live in a nearby town for her secondary education. She met my father there. They
got married and moved to the capital city. I visited my grandparents during my summer holidays. They
both died. Grandpa was 88 and Grandma was 92.
Key:
didn’t have electricity – didn’t use to have, cooked – used to cook, had meals- used to have meals,
walked – used to walk, didn’t have a computer – didn’t use to have, played games- used to play, read
books – used to read, visited – used to visit.

The homework consolidates the use of the past tenses covered so far. When you check the answers
in 7a, point out that the completed activity must be expressed in the past simple. When you check the
answers in 7b, point out that the past perfect can be used when the activity (the reason) had already
happened. If the situation causing the result still existed, the past continuous or past simple must be
used.

Practice pronunciation of the vocabulary. Ask the students if they have any of the toys. Tell them
that all the toys in the photos have been used for centuries or even longer and that they will watch a
video about some of the oldest toys in the world. They watch the video and tick all the toys that are
mentioned. Make sure they read and understand the questions before the second watching, which
requires careful watching and listening. Encourage groups of two to four students to work on the
answers together before checking as a whole class.
In the last task, students practise guessing the meaning of unfamiliar vocabulary.
