Write your answers on the separate answer sheet.
BETHANY HAMILTON
Bethany Hamilton was born in Hawaii. She lived with her parents and two brothers, Noah and Timmy. Both of
her parents were surfers who moved to Hawaii from the continental United States for the surfing opportunities.
Hamilton was taught how to surf by her parents and, in her book, says that she couldn't have done it without
support from her brothers. Her surfing abilities progressed very quickly. She entered two of her first major surf-
ing competitions at the age of eight, taking first places in both.
With dreams of a career as a surfer, Hamilton began competing more seriously at the age of nine. She
won the 1999 Haleiwa Menehune Championships 23rd annual contest. In February 2000, she placed 1st at the
Volcom Puffer Fish contest. She picked up a sponsor, Rip Curl, who aided her with her plans of becoming
a professional surfer.
On October 31, 2003, Hamilton went for a morning surf along Tunnels Beach, Kauai with friend Alana
Blanchard, and Blanchard's father and brother. Around 7:30 a.m., she was lying on her surfboard with her left
arm dangling in the water, when a 14 ft tiger shark attacked her, ripping her left arm off just below the shoulder.
If the shark had bitten two inches further in, the attack would have been fatal. Hamilton had lost almost 60%
of her blood that morning. Her friends helped paddle her back to shore, and rushed her to hospital. Her dad
was supposed to have a knee surgery that morning but she took his place in the operating room. She then spent
seven more days in recovery at the hospital.
Despite the trauma of -the incident, Hamilton was determined to return to surfing. Less than one month
after the incident, she returned to her board and went surfing again. Initially, she adopted a board that was
longer and slightly thicker which made it easier to paddle. After teaching herself to surf with one arm, she has
again begun surfing competitively. She is now back to using competitive performance short-boards again.
In July 2004 Hamilton won the ESPY Award for Best Comeback Athlete of the Year. She was presented
with a special courage award at the 2004 Teen Choice Awards. In 2005, with one arm, Hamilton took 1st place
in the NSSA National Championships, a goal she had been trying to achieve since before the shark attack. In
2008, she began competing full-time on the Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP) World Qualifying
Series (WQS). In her first competition against many of the world's best women surfers, she finished 3rd.

choices you do not need to use. Write your answers on the separate answer
sheet.
T H E TYPES O F F A T H E R S
27 .
Whether you're the primary parent or not, you are the one in charge of formally disciplining the kids. You
decide and administer all punishment. As a result, the kids love and fear you. You know and understand that
discipline is an important part of development for your kids, so you try to teach them responsibility, justice
and accountability.
28 .
You are the one in the middle between your kids and each other a n d / o r your kids and mum. It is your job
to resolve conflicts within the home. Being a man, this is not always easy, as it requires lots of empathy
and excellent listening skills. It is frustrating, though, to deal with the same problems over and over again.
Your goal is to achieve peace and harmony in the family, as well as encouraging everyone to play nice.
29 .
This is often a fun way to connect and see your kids interact in a group setting. You gain great satisfaction
by teaching them to share, compete and achieve goals. You like to see your kids participate in competitive
activities (and win), although you are proud of them for doing their best whether they win or lose. The
strategies you use often spill over into the home.
30 .
You are the master repair man of the home. You enjoy helping your kids, and it gives you great satisfaction
to see the look on their face when you hand them a repaired toy. You like to teach the kids how to be
industrious and useful. They learn a lot of handy skills from you. At times, you may feel like you struggle
to find other ways to connect with them on a personal level.
31 .
You are the kind of dad who spends a lot of time making sure the house is 'baby-proofed' and all things
potentially harmful are secure and out of reach. You tell your kids often about the dangers in the world,
and you assure them that you won't let anything bad happen. Your family knows they can count on your
for security and protection. You feel good about creating a safe environment for the kids, but it's hard for
you to let go and allow them to make mistakes on their own.
32.
You are the dad who treats fatherhood like a part-time job. You are engaged with your children, but only
occasionally — maybe only on the weekends, when it's most convenient for you. You have good intentions,
but your children require more time than you're willing or able to give. Your children need you to be a full-
time dad, but you're content with giving them a part-time effort.
Which father is:
• A The Reserved Duty Dad • E The Tech Guy

• В The Coach • F The Protector
• C The Deaf Ear • G The Enforcer Dad
• D The Fixer • H The Referee

It's funny that the meteorological term best known to the British layman is 'a depression'. Given that
depressions characterize so much of our weather, even a forecaster might think that's fair enough, and rather
appropriate too. We all know the familiar welcome that greets us (33) . You board the
plane in bright sunshine and fly home through peerless blue skies. Then, as you approach home, the plane
descends through a thick carpet of cloud; underneath it's all unceasing grey (34) .
Unceasing grey and drizzle? Yet monotonous is exactly (35) . We have the pure,
blind luck to live in a maritime climate which never stops surprising. More than one maritime climate, in
fact, (36) — namely Arctic, Polar, Tropical and Returning Polar. Add to that
the two Continental air streams — Polar and Tropical — and it's a complex, volatile picture. No wonder
that we have such a highly developed forecasting network. And no wonder that we're a nation of obsessives:

It all makes travelling around Britain a risky business. A romantic weekend in the Lake District can
be a wash-out and Brighton isn't much fun in the pouring rain. The trick is to be flexible in when you go:

ALBRECHT DURER
Diirer was born on 21 May 1471, third child and second son of his parents, who had between fourteen and
eighteen children. His father was a successful goldsmith, originally named Ajtysi, who in 1455 had moved to
Nuremberg from Hungary.
Diirer's godfather was Anton Koberger, who left goldsmithing to become a printer and publisher in the
year of Durer's birth. He quickly became the most successful publisher in Germany, eventually owning twenty-
four printing-presses and having many offices in Germany and abroad. His most famous publication was the
Nuremberg Chronicle, published in 1493 in German and Latin editions. It contained an unprecedented 1,809
woodcut illustrations.
After a few years of school, Diirer started to learn the basics of goldsmithing and drawing from his father.
Though his father wanted him to continue his training as a goldsmith, he showed such a precocious talent in
drawing that he started as an apprentice to a leading artist whose name was Wolgemut at the age of fifteen in
1486. A self-portrait, a drawing in silverpoint, is dated 1484 (Albertina, Vienna) "when I was a child," as his later
inscription says. Wolgemut was the leading artist in Nuremberg at the time, with a large workshop producing
a variety of works of art, in particular woodcuts for books. Nuremberg was then an important and prosperous
city, a centre for publishing and many luxury trades. It had strong links with Italy, especially Venice, a relatively
short distance across the Alps.

This children's book is about the tragic fate of the imaginary town of Chewandswallow. It's a place where
there are no grocery stores, because all the food the people ever need falls from the sky! But the people of
Chewandswallow soon find out that there really can be too much of a good thing. From gigantic meatball
storms to tomato tornadoes, the weather just keeps getting worse, until the townsfolk are forced to make
a difficult decision.

This delightful book tells the story of a tattered, stuffed teddy bear named Corduroy. He explores his
surroundings at night as he waits in the department store for someone to come and buy him. At the end,
the lonely bear gets a new home, a new friend, and a new button for his overalls.
29 .
This is a wonderful book to read to children as old as six or seven, but it's also a great book to read to a baby.
The text is simple, the story is about a caterpillar's transformation into a butterfly. The story itself is only
14 quick pages long. The artwork, however, will have parents and children alike adoring the pages for much
longer.
30 .
This could be the one children's book that everyone remembers clearly from their childhood. It is certainly
a classic. Written in the characteristically zany rhyming verse style that made Dr Suess one of the best loved
children's writers of all time, this book is illustrated in full color artwork that is, well, a little creepy, but
also one of the many things Dr Suess fans love about his work.
This just might be the very best children's book to read at bedtime. The illustrations are beautiful, but they
are rendered in a way that makes each scene look like a bedroom that is dark and ready to be slept in. The
text is intentionally repetitive, and is one child's nightly ritual of saying goodnight to everything he can see.
This is a great book for a child who needs calm, quiet, and minimal distractions at bedtime.

Acid rain is a result of air pollution. When any type of fuel is burnt, (33) .
The smoke that comes from a fire or the fumes that come out of a car exhaust d o n ' t just contain the sooty grey
particles that you can see — they also contain lots of invisible gases (34) .
Power stations, factories and cars all burn fuels (35) . Some of these gases
(especially nitrogen oxides and sulphur dioxide) react with the tiny droplets of water in clouds to form sulphuric
and nitric acids. The rain from these clouds then falls as very weak acid — (36) .
The release of sulphur dioxide can also occur naturally when a volcano erupts.
Acid rain can be carried great distances in the atmosphere, not just between countries but also from continent
to continent. The acid can also take the form of snow, mists and dry dusts. The rain sometimes falls many miles
from the source of pollution but wherever it falls (37) . In the 1970s the effects
of acid rain were seen at their worst.
Forests all over the world are dying. In Scandinavia the fish are dying; lakes were crystal clear
(38) . Many of Britain's freshwater fish are threatened, their eggs are damaged
and deformed, fish are being hatched. This in turn leads to fish-eating birds and animals also being affected.

T H E G R O W T H O F T E E N A G E R S AS A MARKET FORCE IN 1950'S SOCIETY
Until 1950 the term teenagers had never before been coined. Children were known as girls and boys were
known as youths once they displayed signs of puberty. Then young people were grown up at 18 and fully adult
legally at 21 when they often married and set up a home of their own, even if it was a rented room. Getting married
was a way of showing the adult world that you belonged to their world and was a way of escape from puberty.
During the 1950s a range of influences including films, television, magazines and the rock music scene
created a new market grouping called teenagers. Teens made themselves known. A sudden flurry of consumer
goods denied to war torn Europe were available and a consumer boom was actively encouraged.
These single young people with cash from paid work soon had their own fashions, own music, own cafes,
own milk bars and by the end of the decade even their own transport in the form of fuelled scooters. Teenagers
suddenly dominated style in clothes, haircuts and even travel abroad. A generation gap began to emerge between
parents and teen offsprings. It seemed almost unholy at the time and was viewed as rebellious, but compared
to later anti-fashion and anarchic movements it was all rather innocent.
American influence on European teenagers was huge. Rock and Roll idols including Elvis Presley, Bill Hayley,
Jerry Lee Lewis and film stars James Dean and Marlon Brando set fashions almost unwittingly. The main looks
for teenagers were greasers and preppies.
Greasers followed the standard black leather and denim jeans look set by Marlon Brando in "The Wild
One" (1953) and later emulated in the 1978 film called "Grease". They raced about town on motorbikes and
were consider outrageous.
Preppie qualities were neatness, tidiness and grooming. Teen girls wore full dirndl or circular skirts with
large appliques on their clothing. Neat pleated skirts were also popular. The pleated skirts were made from a then
new fabric called T E R Y L E N E (polyester) which helped maintain razor sharp sunray pleating.
The skirts were supported by bouffant paper nylon or net petticoats. On top, teens wore scoop neck blouses,
back to front cardigans, tight polo necks or three quarter sleeve white fitting shirts often with a scarf knotted
cowboy fashion at the side neck. These teen clothing fashions that originated in America, filtered to Britain in
watered down fashion.
22. What influenced the formation of a new teenage grouping?

Here's a building that should really get your attention when walking past it. The Dancing House is considered
as one of the most real controversial buildings in Prague. The DH was actually designed by a great architect
from California, which only proves that he had done some type of hallucinogen while designing it.
28 .
The Bank of Asia is a very famous building in Bangkok. It was made way back in 1985, and its robotic
appearance is just a symbol of the modernization of banking. It also has the ability to transform into a mega-
robot. So, if Godzilla ever decided to show his green face in the land of Bangkok, they would have to fight!

If you saw this picture for the first time, you'd probably thought that it was hit by a massive earthquake.
But it wasn't. In true fashion of the Ripley Legacy, it was built to reflect the odd 1812 earthquake that mea-
sured 8.0 on the rick. The building has now become one of the most photographed in the world because of it.
30 .
This somewhat modernized building was actually built between 1971 and 1974. Its unique design gives the
Wilson Hall a great sense of structure, and a prominent landmark for the skyline. The building provides big
laboratories, offices, and supports space for over 1500 scientists. And it houses all kinds of strange experiments.
31 .
This bizarre house really doesn't have an official name, but it does have a 135 degree angle. So that's what
we're going to call it. Unfortunately, the only info we have about this house is that it was built in China or
Japan. And that it has a silly pink roof. And if you look real close, you'll notice that its on a 135 degree angle.
32 .
This is a residential building in Conwy Quay, North Wales. With a red-painted fasade, the house measures
3.05 m (10 ft) high and 1.8 m (5.9 ft) wide. Despite its cramped size, the house was inhabited from the 16th
century until 1900, when the last occupant — an ironically tall fisherman — moved out. It remains as the

POACHING
Humarts and their ancestors (33) . The agricultural revolution reduced the
need for survival hunting in most parts of the world. Hunting has continued, however, for several reasons, and
poaching remains a possibility wherever hunting is an important part of the economy or culture.
Animal products, such (34) _ _ _ , are sold to dealers who make clothes, jewelry and
other materials from them. In some African and Latin American societies, animals are poached for game meat.
In Congo, for example, wild monkey meat is sold in the open market, and in many parts of North America,
white-tailed deer is hunted for food.
Some animals have religious value (35) . For example, among the Banyoro,
Baganda and Batooro of West and Central Uganda, the king traditionally sits on a leopard skin. Many tribes in
Congo consider leopard skin a symbol of magic, and many witch doctors in the region use these skins to show
their powers. Many animals are killed for ceremonial purposes, (36) .
Animals are also believed to be a source of local herbs and have medicinal value. For example, it is believed
by some Lendu in Eastern Congo that the lion's liver cures skin diseases, and it is also used as a poison. Mbuti

world are also hunted as vermin by communities that leave near forests and game parks. The aim is to kill the
animals and stop them from encroaching on farms.
Hunting for sport is also practised in various nations. Though most of it is controlled, (38) _ _ _ _ _

M I N T TEA
Mint tea, (33) , is common to Middle Eastern cultures and other cultures worldwide.
The fresh scent of mint makes it an excellent choice in either hot or cold weather, and as a naturally low-calorie
drink, it can help reduce your overall calorie consumption, helping you meet your weight-loss goals. To keep
mint tea healthy, limit the amount of added sugar you use.
Peppermint tea, made from fresh or dried leaves, (34) , with only 2 calories per
8-ounce serving. A same size serving of fruit soda has 101 calories, which means that drinking soda in place of
tea can increase your total calorie intake by 99 calories. This is roughly 5 percent of your daily calorie amount
for those on a 2,000-calorie-per-day diet. In turn, drinking mint tea (35) can lead to
almost 3 pounds of lost body weight.
Mint tea, especially the type that is brewed in Middle Eastern cultures, often contains a lot of added sugar,
as the traditional preparation calls for a very sweet tea (36) . A diet high in added
sugar increases your chances of weight gain as well as obesity, so the American Heart Association recommends
no more (37) . Added sugar offers no nutritional value and is considered to be only
'empty' calories. Instead, choose to sweeten your tea with stevia, (38) that is made

"RACE TO WITCH MOUNTAIN"
"Race to Witch Mountain" is a science fiction adventure film and a remake of the 1975 fantasy film, "Escape to
Witch Mountain". Both versions of the film are based on the 1968 novel "Escape to Witch Mountain" by Alexander
Key.
Jack Bruno is a cab driver in Las Vegas. One of his passengers is Dr., Alex Friedman, a failed scientist who is
giving speeches about legitimate scientific theories of UFOs and outer space.
The next day, Bruno notices two children, Sara and Seth sitting in the back seat of his cab. They tell him
they need to go to a certain destination and are willing to pay all they have to get there. They lead him to
a house in the middle of nowhere. Meanwhile, Major Henry Burke is searching for information on the two
aliens that landed some days earlier.
When they arrive at the house, Bruno follows them out of concern and curiosity. There, the kids retrieve
the device they were looking for, contained within alien flora.
When leaving, they are attacked by a 'Siphon', a creature built to destroy a certain target. The Siphon
pursues them, until its spaceship crashes into a train, the locomotive is destroyed by an explosion in the railroad
tunnel, and the creature is wounded. The trio eventually find themselves in a small town. The children explain to
Bruno that they are aliens from a distant planet, who are sent to Earth by their parents because the government
of their dying planet intends to attack and invade Earth so that their kind may live on there. They also explain
that the object they obtained at the house contains the results of an experiment which their parents set up. The
research from this experiment will save their planet without having to attack and invade Earth. However their
planet's military prefer the idea of invading Earth and sent the Siphon assassin to stop them. They are next
pursued by government agencies trying to retrieve the children for experiments.
They are joined by Dr. Friedman at the U F O Expo. With help of one of Dr. Friedman's friends, the kids
discover that their crashed spaceship has been relocated to a government base at Witch Mountain. The group,
now including Dr. Friedman, after evading the pursuing government agents, eventually arrive at Witch Mountain.
There, the children are captured, along with Bruno and Friedman. The government agents began running Tests
to try to discover the secret of their powers in attempt to harness them. The movie ends with the spaceship
taking off and returning to their planet.
During the end credits, Bruno and Dr. Friedman are speaking at a U F O convention about their new
successful book called "Race to Witch Mountain". As the couple get into their car and are about to leave, the
device the kids gave Bruno activates, implying that they may be returning.

Fifty years ago, not much was being thrown away. Almost everything had a considerably longer life span
(33) . What led us to this place of having and wanting so much stuff? Stuff that
we literally don't know what to do with or where to put when we're done with it.
Shorter life span in your home means more frequent shopping sprees to the store. What could be wrong with
that? Growth in America was being driven by a new sense (34) . Paper plates and
cups, frozen foods, TV dinners, foil and plastic pouches, aerosol cans, and squeezable tubes were the way of the
future, (35) — especially the housewife's. Packaging became the new billboard
for marketers inside the supermarket. "Miracles in Packaging and Processing are Radically Simplifying U.S.
Cooking" is a headline Strasser cites from a 1959 LOOK magazine article. Why spend time cleaning pots and
pans and dishes (36) when you're done? Easily disposable items offered a new
freedom that was quickly linked to the notion of abundance.
From then on, changes in styles and new technologies gave way to new and improved products
(37 ) . "Out with the old and in with the new" became ubiquitous. Once it was
put onto the curb as garbage, we no longer had to think about it. It was out of sight and out of mind. Abundance
and waste soon became synonymous with the American way of life. More choices, more conveniences,
(38 ) more accessible money made Americans very conspicuous consumers. With
only 5 percent of the global population, the U.S. consumes a whopping 30 percent of the planet's resources and
churns out 30 percent of its wastes.

M A R R I E D BY A ROBOT
When you think about robots, you probably think of R2-D2 in the "Star Wars" movies or Rosie the Maid
in "The Jetsons" cartoons. But robots aren't only in the movies and on TV. One 'real' robot married a couple
at a wedding ceremony in Tokyo, Japan not long ago.
Fifty guests stood as the music played and the bride walked down the aisle. Only one guest remained
seated — the minister, who happened to be a robot that was bolted to a chair. For this special occasion, the
four-foot tall robot named I-Fairy wore pigtails and a wreath of flowers around her head. I-Fairy's eyes flashed
coloured lights as she pronounced the couple man-and-wife and asked the groom to kiss the bride. The wedding
was the first time a marriage had been led by a robot, according to the company that built I-Fairy.
A robot might seem like an unusual choice to lead a wedding, but if you knew the couple you would think
I-Fairy was the perfect choice. That's because the groom teaches robotics at a university and the bride works
for the company that built I-Fairy. Besides building robots like I-Fairy, the company has built robotic dinosaurs
that you might have seen in museums or on TV.
Japan is one of the world's leaders in the field of robotics. The newly married couple hopes their wedding
will encourage more uses for robots. They hope their wedding will give people ideas about ways in which they
might use robots to do 'everyday things' in their lives in the near future.

T H E KIDS SHOWS THAT ARE ACTUALLY G R E A T
27 .
StoryBots. In each episode of this Netflix series, the cartoon guide-bots answer a question posed by a real
kid. Live action and cartoons are intercut with joyous song breaks, and each episode features a guest star like
Snoop Dogg or Tony Hale. My favourite one is " H o w do people catch a cold?" T h e bots start out in
a d o c t o r ' s office — the doctor is played by Wanda Sykes — then journey inside a human body, where they
encounter a friendly macrophage. The macrophage eats the virus, creating antigens that kick-start T-cells, which
then activate B-cells to help white blood cells attack the cold virus. — Emily Gould
28.
Beat Bugs. A cast of animated insects in an overgrown suburban lawn embark on adventures modernises to
the lyrics of Beatles songs. In the tradition of 21st-century animation, the numbers are reinterpreted by celebrity
musicians: Sia does "Blackbird," Eddie Vedder does "The Magical Mystery Tour." — Boris Kachka
29 .
Great British Baking Show. There is little mention of winners or losers on the show, no monetary prize at
the end, no cruelty. The judges are gentle with their criticism and sentimental with their praise; the contestants
support each other. Eveiyone seems to cry at some point, but they are crying about a fallen cake or because
their pie has a soggy bottom. — Meaghan О 'Connell
30 .
Phineas and Ferb. I love Phineas. He never stops talking. Phineas is really cool, and I can't believe how he
manages to find all the material for his inventions. Like, you never see him buying it. Ferb doesn't say much,
but he also helps. They create inventions that should take a year, and it takes, like, only one day. Phineas and
Ferb also have a pet platypus named Perry. He is actually a secret agent, flies around with a jet pack, and has
a secret lab underneath their house. — Eddie Rice
31.
Shaun the Sheep. For toddlers, Shaun the Sheep works because of its simplicity and brevity. Stories are only
five to seven minutes each, and because the show is nearly wordless, the narrative plays out in big, silly, visual
ways. For older kids, Shaun is a font of humor, often playing on small-scale dramatic ironies and big broad
payoffs — there's a lot of generous slapstick, and the stakes stay pretty low. — Kathryn VanArendonk
32 .
Stranger Things. The year my son was in fourth grade, it seemed like everyone in his class had seen Stranger
Things, a show about kids being actively terrorized by otherworldly creatures. This was not true. But like all
matters in which peer pressure is involved, it felt true. When he came home and asked if he could watch, I did
what parents and caregivers do more often than they're willing to admit: I made an impulsive decision. I told
him yes, but we would watch together, and if he felt scared or nervous at any time, we could turn it off. — Jen

We were taught at school that there were nine planets, but now there are eight (scientists said Pluto is
not a planet). Now we may have to change our thinking about how many continents there are. We are taught
there are seven continents — Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe, and Australia.
Geologists, (33) , now say there is an eighth continent — Zealandia. This is a huge,
largely underwater landmass in the southern Pacific Ocean. Six per cent of this landmass is above water and is
what we know as New Zealand and New Caledonia. Around 94 per cent of it is under the ocean. In total, it
measures five million square kilometres, which scientists say (34) .
The main author of the article, (35) , said scientists have been researching data
to make the case for Zealandia for more than two decades.
"The scientific value of classifying Zealandia as a continent is much more than just an extra name on a list,"
the researchers explained. They wrote a research paper and published it (36) . They
argue that the land does not have to be above water for it to be a continent. They said four different points
make Zealandia a continent. It is a lot higher than the surrounding area, it has a unique geology, it is easy to
find the shape of the continent, and it is a lot thicker (37) . Nick Mortimer said it
would be easy to understand that Zealandia is a continent, "if you could pull the plug on the world's oceans"
and let the water out. However, Zealandia will face an uphill battle in obtaining the same popular name
recognition (38) . Whatever it is called, Mortimer says, studies of Zealandia should
help biogeographers to better understand how New Zealand's endemic plants and animals arose — and give
geologists a boost in learning how continental crust can be reshaped.

A S C I E N T I F I C DILEMMA
The latest lizard found in the Philippines — a bright-speckled cousin of the monitor lizard — was first spotted
in 2001. Scientists saw members of the islands' Agta tribe carrying the lizard from the forest. The tribespeople
would not give up their catch, because the lizard was going to be a tasty meal for them and their families. They
did, however, let scientists take pictures of the lizard.
Finally, in 2009, scientists captured a lizard of their own to study. They named the new lizard the Northern
Sierra Madre monitor lizard because it was discovered in the islands' Sierra Madre Mountains. The 6-foot-long
lizard had bright yellow markings that distinguish it from more boring-looking monitors. Its legs were mainly
yellow, and its tail was striped black and yellow. So how could scientists work in the Philippines' rain forests
for years without finding the new lizard until now? They say the Northern Sierra Madre monitor is unlike
other monitor lizards and their larger cousin, the Komodo dragon. All of those lizards are meat-eaters. But the
newfound lizard eats fruit. That means it never has to come down out of the trees. Its uniquely colored skin,
quiet manner, and treetop home helped it remain camouflaged from scientists' view for many years.
The discovery of the Northern Sierra Madre monitor is making scientists realize that Philippines' rain forests
may hold many undiscovered species. But those species will not be found if the rain forests keep disappearing.
Twenty years ago, forests covered about 35 percent of the Philippines' land. But people have been logging that
land and building on it. Today, forests cover less than 25 percent of the country's land.
The rain forests are a 'conservation hot spot' that need to be protected, scientists say. "I hope we can make
the new lizard a 'poster child' for conservation of the land," said one scientist. "Conserving the rain forest will
trickle down to its other inhabitants."

ALL-BLACK P E N G U I N S
As a ship traveled slowly along the coast of an island near Antarctica, passengers stared in awe at what
they saw. A large colony of King Penguins — thousands of them — wobbled about the island as the boat passed
by. As passengers scanned the scene, a few of them noticed an unusual sight. In a sea of black-and-white, one
penguin stood out from the rest. From its head to its feet — front and back — the penguin was all black.
Penguins have no natural fear of humans, so some of the passengers were able to get off the boat. One
passenger, Andrew Evans, sat on the ground in front of the penguin and took pictures of it. From his close-up
view, the all-black penguin seemed to be in excellent health, Evans said. It seemed to fit in well with the other
penguins. It even appeared to have a black-and-white mate.
While some people have reported seeing all-black penguins before, scientists say this is the first proof
they have that such birds exist. "This is astonishing," said bird expert Allan Baker when he saw pictures of the
penguin. "It's one in a zillion discovery."
So how did this rare penguin come to be? Baker explains that a natural pigment called melanin is what
makes some of a'penguin's feathers black. Penguins can have varying amounts of melanin, Baker says. About
one in every 250,000 King penguins can be mostly black, but even those penguins always have patches of white.
Until now, that is. This is the first all black penguin Baker has ever seen. The penguin must have a very high
amount of melanin in its body, he says.
King penguins can be found across a handful of islands in southern parts of the Indian and Atlantic Oceans.
The islands are located where cold and warm waters mix, which makes them perfect feeding grounds for Kings.
Antarctica's South Georgia Island, where the all-black penguin was found, is home to several million penguins.

IMPROVING CLASSROOMS
It used to be that a 'green classroom' referred to the colour of paint on the wall. But today's green class-
rooms are greener than that! New 'green' classrooms help schools save money and provide clean environments
where students learn better.
Many classrooms are going green by adding solar panels to their roofs. The solar panels collect energy from
the sun and use it to power lights and computers. The panels help make green classrooms grid-neutral, which
means the panels create at least as much electricity as the classrooms use. In addition, new lighting and air
systems can be programmed to lower energy costs and water use.
Many new 'green' classrooms are built using recycled materials. Some even use scraps of material from
blue jeans to insulate walls and ceilings. The old-jean insulation cuts heat and air conditioning bills as it helps
to soundproof classrooms too.
Green schools feature many other new ideas. Some classrooms are painted using special odor-free paints
that help improve indoor air. Some use no glues or tiles that add chemical smells to the air. Others use triple-
pane windows and skylights to help keep classrooms warm in cold weather and let in lots of natural daylight.
Experts say the benefits of building greener classrooms go beyond cost savings. Studies show that a healthful
environment with good air quality can cut colds and flu by more than 50 percent. That means fewer sick days for
students and teachers. Studies have shown that natural light and other green features improve student learning
and test scores too.

A YOUNG CLIMBER
Jordan Romero (born July 12, 1996) is an American mountain climber who, on May 22, 2010, became
the youngest person to climb Mount Everest. Romero was accompanied by his father Paul Romero, his father's
girlfriend Karen Lundgren, and three guides, or sherpas, who know the mountain well. He was inspired to climb
the tallest mountains of each continent when he saw a painting in the hallway of his school that had the seven
continents' highest mountains.
Jordan is an experienced mountain climber who has proven himself on many other mountains. When he
was just ten years old, he became the youngest person to climb Africa's highest peak, Mount Kilimanjaro. In
2008, he climbed North America's highest mountain, the 20,000 foot-high Mount Denali in Alaska. So far, as
a matter of fact, Jordan has climbed the highest mountain on Earth's seven continents.
Jordan knew all about the difficulties he could face on his Everest climb. Hurricane-force winds blow atop
Everest much of the year. Temperatures can sink to 100 degrees below zero, and climbers often experience
difficulty breathing as they climb. His group chose a northern route out of Tibet and carried a G P S tracking
device and satellite phone. Along the way to the top, Romero conducted an interview from an intermediate base
camp 18,700 feet above sea level. Upon reaching Mount Everest's summit, a Skype interview was accomplished.
After Jordan climbed Mount Everest he and Katherine Blanc wrote a book "The Boy Who Conquered
Everest: The Jordan Romero Story". The book is a visual journey through Jordan's quest, there are pictures of
everything from Team Jordan training and base camps to finally standing on the summit of Mt. Everest. There
are also inspirational messages and tips on goal-setting from Jordan.

TEST 1
Task 1
1. Woman: Can you help me out today? I have so much to do.
Man: Sure. What do you need?
Woman: I need to mail this package. Could you drop it off at the post office for me?
Man: I can do that. Is the post office near the bank?
Woman: It is on the same street, but further east. It's past the police station.
Man: Oh, OK. So, it's next to the grocery store?
Woman: The post office is across the street from the grocery store, next to that new restaurant.
Man: Oh, yeah. Now I remember where it is.
2. Woman: Hi, Matt. Thanks for stopping by. I need help.
Man: OK. What can I do?
Woman: I'm in the middle of baking cookies to sell, and I just realized I'm out of eggs!
Man: Well, I can go to the store and get some for you. How many do you need?
Woman: Let me check. It looks like one batch of cookies has three eggs in it.
Man: So, I'll get you three eggs.
Woman: Actually, I'm making four batches. I'm going to need to add three eggs for each batch.
Man: OK. I'll be back in a few minutes with your eggs.
3. Are you looking for a way to do your work from home? Do you need an easier way to keep in touch

down to our store, and we will give you a great deal on one of our different models. You don't have to know
a lot about technology to use our computers, and we know you will be satisfied with our products.
4. Many people believe that it is easy to take good photos. They think all you have to do is point your
camera and press a button. But there is more to taking pictures than that. When snapping a photo, you have to
make sure your camera is focused on an object. Lighting is also important in pictures. It can't be too dark or
too bright in the area you are shooting. You must also be careful not to take out your film in the light. Doing
that can ruin your pictures.
5. Man: How was the basketball game last night?
Woman: It was so fun! I can't believe my brother got me a ticket.
Man: You should do something nice for him to pay him back. Maybe you could get him a gift.
Woman: I'd love to, but I don't have any extra money.
Man: You could vacuum or do the laundry.
Woman: I don't have much free time this week. I'm not sure if I could get either of those done.
Man: Doesn't he have a dog? Maybe you could walk his dog.
Woman: That's a great idea! He's always complaining about having to do that.
6. Albert Einstein is a famous scientist whose work is still studied across the world today. He was born in
Germany, and his family always supported his education. Einstein planned to be a teacher but then got a job
looking at inventions for the government. His discoveries led to him being awarded the Nobel Prize for physics
in 1921. In fact, 'Einstein' is now used as a word for 'genius' in everyday speech.
Task 2
A Boulder native, Matt has been active in the outdoors since his early youth and is a competitive freestyle
skier, mountain biker and rock climber. In addition to his outdoor pursuits, Matt is an accomplished public
speaker and advocate on behalf of many causes including American Himalayan Foundation.
It was a climb to Everest Base Camp and a summit of Kala Patar in April 2007 that ignited Matt's enthusiasm
for high-altitude alpine climbing.
Within months of returning from Nepal, Matt set a lifetime goal to summit the seven highest peaks on each
continent known as the "Seven Summits".
In June 2008, at the age of 10, he became the youngest person to summit Mount Elbrus, the highest point
in Europe. Also in June, Matt summited Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest point in Africa. In December 2008,

Task 3
Learning was never more fun than in the great outdoors of Lakefield Camp with a choice of many different
programs and an amazing range of sports, adventures and the arts.
At Lakefield Camp, campers are housed in the school residence in twin or triple rooms with washroom
and shower facilities on every floor. According to requests and in order to keep the camp international the staff
will try to ensure that roommates are of similar age but different nationality. At least one staff member lives on
the floor with the campers.
Each room will come complete with the basic necessities such as a bed, a desk and a closet for each camper.
Boys and girls are accommodated separately and placed according to age.
A typical day at Lakefield C a m p is spent learning new skills in five activity periods. Each week campers
select different activities from water sports such as sailing, canoeing, kayaking or windsurfing. They may also
choose from field and court sports such as archery, tennis, soccer, mountain biking or beach volleyball, the arts,
dance, drama, guitar, or theatre.
A recreational activity period is also offered daily, allowing you to take part in your favourite activity or in
a specialized activity such as water tubing, swimming, videography or ropes/climbing wall. These activities are
supervised, but not necessarily instructed. A different set of activities will be offered daily.
TEST 2
Task 1
1. Man: Hi. Can I help you find something today or are you just window shopping?
Woman: Actually, 1 am looking for a hat.
Man: What kind of hat are you looking for?
Woman: 1 need something to wear when I work in the garden.
Man: How about this one?
Woman: I think a black hat will be too warm in the sun. I need something light-colored that will keep
the sun out of my eyes.
Man: OK. It sounds like you want a straw hat. Do you like this one?
Woman: No. That looks like something a cowboy would wear. I think I like the one with flowers on
it better.
2. Woman: Can I help you with something?
Man: Yeah, thanks. 1 really like these socks. Can you tell me how much they are?
Woman: Sure. They cost four dollars per pair, with tax.
Man: That's great. 1 need as many pairs as I can get. My old socks are all worn out.
Woman: Well, how much money do you have to spend?
Man: I have about $20.
Woman: OK. Let me figure out how many pairs of socks you can get at four dollars a pair.
Man: Thanks for your help.
3. Man: Oh, hi. How are you?
Woman: Hi, Martin. Oh, 1 meant to ask yesterday if you finished cleaning the oven.
Man: Not yet. I plan to finish it right away on Monday morning when I get to the pizzeria.
Woman: That sounds great. So, what are you doing with your weekend?
Man: I'm just trying to find some new music. Have you heard this band before?
"Woman: Oh, yeah. They're one of my favourites.
Man: They sound amazing. Well, I guess I'll get this C D .
Woman: I hope you like it. Well, I'll see you on Monday.
4. These days, you can do almost anything at home on your computer. You can keep in touch with your
friends, look for jobs, pay your bills, and buy almost anything you want on the Internet. Most people think it's
nice to be able to do these things from home. But it can be dangerous to give out your personal information
online. It is possible for people who know a lot about the Internet to find your information and use it to help
themselves. If you suspect this, you should protect yourself by only giving out your information to websites you
can trust.

5. Video games began as learning tools. The first video game was invented by a scientist to show how to
find the location and path of rockets. It showed a ball bouncing off a line at the bottom of the computer screen.
They called it "Tennis for Two." A few years later, a group of college students made the first video game that
people could play. The game was called "Spacewar," and it let players shoot at each other's spaceships.
6. Are you looking to get away? Do you need to stop working so much and just relax? If it's time for you
to take a vacation, we have just the place. Imagine the warm sun on your shoulders, waking up to gentle waves
hitting the shore. In our tropical paradise, we provide hammocks and a free guided tour. Give us a call. We
will set you up in your own personal room on an exotic island. All you need to bring is your swimsuit and
sunscreen. We'll take care of the rest.
Task 2
In Lovina, almost everyone owns a boat or has a friend, brother or son who owns a boat. In the early
morning, they go out with the tourists to look for dolphins. After that, many go back to go fishing. There are
many restaurants that sell a catch of the day and we had one of the best fish ever here in Lovina. If I can
recommend only one place to eat fish I would definitely recommend Sunset in the street JL, Lovina. Ask them
to prepare a whole mahimahi with traditional sauce. You will get the best-grilled fish you ever tasted, with freshly
made oil garlic sauce and a red tomato pepper sauce together with white and fried rice. Finger licking good!
Another place I would recommend is the Global Village Kafe, not only for its food but for the whole
atmosphere. A cool laid-back joint with good music. The only remark I would make about the food: keep it local.
Task 3
Jacques Carrier was born in 1491 in Saint-Malo, the port on the north-east coast of Brittany. Carrier,
who was a respectable mariner, improved his social status in 1520 by marrying Mary Catherine des Granches,
member of a leading family.
In 1534 Carrier was introduced to King Francis I. The King had previously invited the Florentine explorer
Giovanni da Verrazzano to explore the eastern coast of North America on behalf of France in 1524.
On April 20, 1534 Carrier set sail under a commission from the king, hoping to discover a western passage
to the wealthy markets of Asia. In the words of the commission, he was to "discover certain islands and lands
where it is said that a great quantity of gold and other precious things are to be found".
It took him twenty days to sail across the ocean. Starting on May 10 of that year, he explored parts of New-
foundland, the Strait of Belle Isle and southern shore of the Labrador Peninsula, the Gaspit and North Shore
coastlines on the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and some parts of the coasts of the G u l f s main islands, including Prince
Edward Island, Anticosti Island and the Magdalen Islands. During one stop at the bird sanctuary, northeast of
Brion Island in the Magdalen Islands, his crew slaughtered around 1000 birds, most of them great auks (extinct
since 1852). Carrier's first two encounters with aboriginal peoples in Canada on the north side of Chaleur Bay,
most likely the Mi'kmaq, were brief; some trading occurred.

Man: Excuse me, could I ask a few questions?
Woman: Certainly, sir. What do you want to know?

Task 2
Mount Batur is located in the central mountains of Bali and is an amazing spot to watch the sun rise over
the Island of The Gods. Jeff, an incredible photographer, and a group of his friends decided to trek 2 hours to
the top to see what it's like to watch morning arrive 1,717 metres above the island.
Our trip began at 2 a.m., which I must tell you was not pleasant by any stretch of the imagination, getting
up at that hour took some serious effort. We met our friends at Ubud Yoga Centre to get on the arranged bus
ride to the Volcano. The bus was another annoyance as it was not comfortable at all. I'm not one to complain,
but if you were on that bus ride, you'd be rolling your eyes and heaving a heavy sigh too.
On the way, the bus stopped unexpectedly, at least to me, to get breakfast. At 3 a.m. the last thing I want
to do is eat, especially before going up a mountain, but most of the people with us went in. There was no reason
to make that stop except to sell some half-asleep foreigners food at an ungodly hour.
The volcano draws quite a few people to the site every day, so when we arrived around 3.30 a. m. there
were already lots of vehicles in the lot — way more than I would have expected. We got off the bus, met our
guide and started our ascent up the volcano.

Nearly 600 years before Gutenberg, Chinese monks were setting ink to paper using a method known as
block printing, in which wooden blocks are coated with ink and pressed to sheets of paper. One of the earliest

surviving books printed in this fashion — an ancient Buddhist text known as "The Diamond Sutra" — was
created in 868 during the Tang Dynasty in China. The book, which was sealed inside a cave for nearly a thousand
years before its discovery in 1900, is now housed in the British Library in London.
The carved wooden blocks used for this early method of printing were also used in Japan and Korea as
early as the eighth century.
An important advancement to woodblock printing came in the early eleventh century, when a Chinese
peasant named Bi Sheng developed the world's first movable type. His method of printing was well-documented
by his contemporary, a scholar named Shen Kuo. In his 1 lth-century work, "Dream Pool Essays," Kuo explains
that Sheng's movable characters were made out of baked clay. The ink he used was a mix of pine resin, wax
and paper ashes, and as Kuo tells it, Sheng's method could be used to print thousands of copies of a document
fairly quickly.
TEST 4
Task 1
1. So, tomorrow and Friday, we can expect more of this lovely hot weather, with bright sunshine and
temperatures up to twenty four degrees, so don't forget to wear sun cream! Saturday and Sunday will be cooler
and cloudier, but it will stay dry without any rain, so you won't need your umbrellas, and there might be a few
sunny periods.
2. Man: You're back! Did you have a nice holiday?
Woman: Oh yes, it was wonderful!
Man: You're very brown! Did you do a lot of sunbathing?
Woman: I was going to. I was so tired last week when I left. I planned to do nothing all week except
lie in the sun and occasionally go for a swim in the sea.
Man: Didn't you then?
Woman: No, I got bored! I actually went walking in the mountains. It was great. I saw some really
lovely villages, lots of pretty flowers and some fantastic views of the sea and the beach.
Man: Oh, it sounds wonderful!
3. Man: Have you seen my French book?
Woman: It's on the shelf isn't it? I saw it next to the flowers.
Man: It was there this morning, but it isn't there now.
Woman: Maybe you put it on your desk with all your other books.
Man: I've looked there already. I can't see it.
Woman: What about in the cupboard next to the television? There are several books in there.
Man: H m m , it might be there. I'll have a look. Oh, here it is! It was on the shelf all the time.
4. Man: Hello, are you ready to order your dinner yet?
Woman: Yes, but I am in such a hurry.
Man: OK, what would you like?
Woman: A steak cooked medium rare. What does that come with on the side?
Man: The meal comes with mashed potatoes and a salad. Is that OK?
Woman: No, I don't like potatoes. Can I have rice instead?
Man: Sure. Would you like something to drink with your meal?
Woman: Yes, I would like to have lemonade, please.
Man: Anything else for you?
Woman: No, thank you. Do you know how long it will take?
Man: Yes. Your meal will be served in about twenty minutes.
5. Man: I'm glad that's over.
Woman: I know. I've been stressed out about this test for two weeks.
Man: So, how did you do? You're always a diligent student. I'm sure you did fine.
Woman: I did all right, but I'm exhausted. I haven't slept the past couple of nights because 1 was
studying until dawn. What about you?
Man: I did well, actually, which was a surprise. 1 only studied for a couple of hours yesterday.
6. Good morning, New York. I'm Phil Fontaine with your weather forecast for the rest of the week. Today
should be a beautiful day with plenty of sunshine, very little cloud cover, and highs in the mid-seventies. But
don't get too excited. A cold front will be moving in overnight, leaving us with cold temperatures and a chance
100 LISTENING SCRIPT
of rain tomorrow. I expect this front to stay around for quite a while, leaving us with a couple of days of rainy
weather. By Sunday, the rain should be gone, but it will remain clo,udy, so get out there, and enjoy today's
sunshine! It may be the most we'll have for a few days.
Task 2
It was our first week in Thailand, we were overwhelmed by the beauty of the culture and style of life in
Chiang Mai. As silly tourists we booked a day tour including rafting, hiking to waterfalls and Elephant ride.
That was an awful decision! I regret we booked the riding elephant tour. At the moment was fun, but after
I discovered what they do with the animals and how they are horribly treated.
Lesson learned, now I always try to check the background of the tour company we choose. Elephants Farms
in Thailand are a big issue and many animals are in danger. If you want to be in contact with these beautiful
giants you can visit rehabilitation centers, help and learn. Nomad is Beautiful wrote an amazing article about
Elephants and Tourism in Thailand.
Task 3
The world is our address, but our house is very tiny when we go travelling around the world. Everything
needs to fit in two backpacks and two small front bags. That's it, nothing more!! Clothes, shoes, toiletries and
electronic stuff. Said that you already assumed that we can't buy souvenirs or new clothes everywhere we go.
All our purchases need to be done wisely, and every time we buy something new, an old one needs to go away.
That's what I call a minimalist style.
We can't accumulate stuff, nor carry an extra backpack. Our backpacks can only weigh 15 kg — the weight
allowed on most of the low-cost airline companies. So what did we do with our used stuff? We put everything
in plastic bags and gave to people on the streets. A simple way to help and say thanks for all the blessings we
received during the year.
So far, in this one year of traveling around the world we bought the following new clothes:
Rob bought four T-shirts, two pairs of jeans, some underwear, socks, two jumpers and two pairs of runners.
I bought four tops, two pairs of flat sandals, one skirt, one pair of jeans, two leggings and a woolen hat.
When we left Asia at the beginning of April, we bought some warm clothes to face the springtime in Europe.
Thank God we got more jackets and gloves because in April the weather was pretty chilly at the old continent.
For the first time on this trip around the world, we got temperatures below 5єС. To travel light you always need
to think about the weather of the places you will travel to, spring and summer are definitely the best seasons
for backpackers.
TEST 5
Task 1
1. Woman: This is my favourite ice cream store! You always have new flavours!
Man: Would you like to try our new chocolate melon flavour?
Woman: That sounds delicious.
Man: Great. How many scoops would you like?

Man: Four scoops of ice cream will cost $8. Would you like anything else?
Woman: Yes, I'd like a coke, too, please.
2. (A phone rings.)
Man: Thank you for calling Pizza House. How may I help you?
Woman: Hi. I was wondering if I left my handbag there last night.
Man: Let me check the lost and found. What does it look like?
Woman: It's smooth leather and grey. My student ID should be in it.
Man: Ok. I think this handbag might be yours. What's the name on the ID?
Woman: Susan Ferents.
Man: Yes, this is your handbag.
Woman: Good! I was worried that it was gone. I'll be there soon.
3. Woman: I'm nervous.

Woman: I'm going to visit my sister in London. She's having a housewarming party.
Man: That's exciting! England is beautiful.
Woman: I know, but I'm terrified to fly on an airplane.
Man: Don't be scared. Nothing will go wrong. I wish 1 could fly somewhere exciting!
Woman: I know, but I've never been on an airplane before.
Man: You'll do fine! Just imagine that you are a bird. Plus, the flight attendants will help you if
you need anything.
\ Woman: I'll do that! Thank you for the help.

Woman: I leave on the morning of Tuesday the nineteenth.
Man: Where are you going?
Woman: I'll be in Costa Rica on a guided tour for the first three days.
Man: Then what? I've always wanted to go to Panama, are you going there?
Woman: I leave for Belize on the twenty-second. I'm planning on lying on the beach for a while.
Man: How long are you staying there?
Woman: Four days. Then, I'm going to Guatemala on the twenty-sixth and Mexico on the twenty-
seventh.
Man: Wow, it sounds like you have a really exotic trip planned. When do you come home?
Woman: The twenty-ninth. I can't wait!
Man: I strongly recommend you d o n ' t forget your sunscreen.
6. Woman: Hey, Greg, are you coming to my birthday party next Sunday?
Man: Yeah, have you decided on a place to have it?
Woman: It's going to be at the park since the weather forecast says it's going to be a sunny day.
Man: OK, what time does it start?
Woman: It starts at 12, but can you come a little early?
Man: Sure, do you need help decorating or cooking?
Woman: No, I need help unloading things from my car and taking them into the park.
Man: OK, I'd be happy to help.
Woman: Great! Can you be there at 11:45?
Man: Of course. Do you need me to bring anything?
Woman: Only my birthday present!
Man: Ha ha, ha, OK. See you at a quarter to twelve.
Task 2
New Zealand born Helen Thaye's life is a testament to setting goals and achieving them.
She was the first woman to travel alone to any of the world's Poles. She skied at age fifty to the Magnetic
North Pole without a dog sled, snowmobile, resupply or support.
Helen Thayer was the first woman to walk 4,000 miles across the Sahara from Morocco to the Nile River.
She kayaked 2,200 miles of the Amazon River.
In a unique study in the wild, Helen lived near a wolf den above the Arctic Circle for a year.
Helen won the American national luge championship and represented three countries in international track
and field event. She has climbed some of the world's highest mountains.
The Explorer's Club awarded Helen the Vancouver Award for Excellence in Exploration.
Task 3
On the night of January 29, 1982, Steven Callahan set sail alone in his small sailboat from the Canary
Islands bound for the Caribbean. On February 5, the ship sank in a storm, leaving Callahan alone in the Atlantic
in a five-and-a-half-foot inflatable rubber raft — naked, except for a T-shirt, with only three pounds of food,
a few bits of gear, and eight pints of water.
He drifted for 76 days, and over 1800 miles of ocean, before he reached land and rescue in the Bahamas.
Callahan's autobiographical account of the story, "Adrift", is a gut-wrenching book which clearly details the
extreme mental toughness required to survive at sea. And even though Callahan was alone, his mind divided
into a "Captain" character and "crewman" character. The written log from the ordeal records a detailed fight
over the water ration. The "Captain" won the fight, the rations continued, and Callahan ultimately survived.
TEST 6
Task 1
1. Man: What do you think of the pizzas here?
Woman: People say they're better than anything else in town! In fact, the chef has a new bacon and
cheese special tonight.
Man: Great. I love cheese.
Woman: Well, our classic thin layer is light on the stomach and crispy.
Man: That sounds good. I'll have that, then. Thanks.
Woman: You're welcome, sir. Will there be anything else?
Man: No, that'll be all.
2. Woman: So, tell me what is going on.
Man: I hurt my arm when I fell over a tree branch on a walking trail.
Woman: You should be more careful!
Man: I know. I guess I just wasn't paying attention. How bad is the arm? Will I need a cast?
Woman: No. However, you will have to wear a sling for a few weeks.
Man: Oh, no. I have a volleyball game next Saturday.
Woman: I'm afraid that you'll have to miss it. N o sports for several weeks.
Man: I can't believe that I hurt my arm right before the big game!
3. This is a very important thing to have in your kitchen. It operates by using electricity. Usually, a light
bulb turns on when you open its door. People store food inside of this; it is usually full of things the family
likes. It is usually shaped like a big box. Before this was invented, people could not keep certain items of food
for very long. It keeps your food fresh and prevents it from spoiling. Before this invention, some people had
to preserve their food in boxes of ice or even in snow.
4. Man: Good morning, ma'am.
Woman: Good morning.
Man: I'd like to request some more amenities.
Woman: Amenities? What do you mean by amenities, sir?
Man: Well, the free stuff! You know: the soap, lotion, shampoo, etc.
5. Woman: Have you used up all the amenities in your room?
Man: Not at all. I still have enough for the next few days.
Woman: Then what is the problem, sir?
Man: I need some to keep as souvenirs!
Woman: Souvenirs?
Man: Yes, souvenirs. Trinkets to remember my trip by!
6. Man: Excuse me. I need some things to keep as souvenirs.
Woman: Souvenirs?
Man: Yes, m a ' a m . Where can I take some?
Woman: We do have a souvenir shop on the first floor, sir.
Man: Oh, that's not the same. I never pay for hotel souvenirs!
Woman: I'll call the housekeeping. Someone will be up with more amenities shortly.
Task 2
In 1890, Nelly Bly became the fastest person to circumnavigate the globe. She set out to beat the fictional
Phileas Fogg of Jules Verne's "Around the World in 80 Days" — and she did it, pulling the job off in just 72 days.
When she told her newspaper editor about her plans for the trip, he said that a man would have to do it,
since a woman would require heavy trunks and piles of luggage. Nelly Bly proved him wrong, traveling with
just a small bag and the clothes on her back.
Bly was also a pioneer in the field of investigative reporting, and her stories brought about changes in areas
of society that desperately needed attention, such as asylums, sweatshops, orphanages, and prisons.
Task 3
Tigers living on the Malayan Peninsula are at risk of going extinct in just the next two to three years. Less
than 200 tigers in Malaysia are now estimated to be left in the wild, with poaching the greatest threat to their
survival. Driven by demand for their parts used in traditional Chinese medicine, poaching has grown in recent
years.
Malaysia's tigers can only be saved with more action directed toward combating poaching and the illegal
wildlife trade. Local organizations work closely with local communities to establish patrol teams that include
Indigenous peoples in the tiger site of Belum-Temengor. Since 2014, these patrol teams have removed more
than 250 active snares and recorded more than a thousand old snare sites, saving tigers and other large mammals
in the area.
On the national level, the Royal Malaysian Police and Malaysia's Department of Wildlife and National Parks
recently initiated a joint operation on wildlife crime, which has resulted in the arrest of almost 50 people since
September. They are calling for the establishment of the National Tiger Conservation Committee to ensuring
this and spearhead multiple other tiger conservation initiatives.
TEST 7
Task 1
1. Man: Okay, what do we need? '
Woman: Well, we need some butter.
Man: Do we? We already have some in the fridge.
Woman: I don't think it's enough. We need three hundred grams but we only have about half a packet.
Man: The recipe says we need four eggs.
Woman: We've got plenty of eggs.
Man: Alright. Are we okay for flour?
Woman: I think so. There's half a kilo in the cupboard and I think we only need two hundred grams
of it.
Man:
Right then. I'll go to the shop and get what we need.
2. Man:
How is your son enjoying university?
Woman:
Well, not a lot. He's finding the journalism course quite difficult.
Man: Journalism? I thought he was studying law.
Woman: He was, but he changed his course about three months ago. He didn't like it. He had to do
a lot of reading, and he soon realised that the other students on the course were a lot more
hard-working than him!
Man:
Do you think he'll stay on the course he's doing now?
Woman:
I doubt it. Last time I spoke to him, he told me he's thinking of becoming a mechanic!
3. Man: I think I'll have a shower before we go out. Where's the soap? Is it in the blue bag with the
toothpaste?
Woman: I'll have a look. N o , it's not here. I've found the toothpaste, but there's no soap.
Man: Maybe I put it in the suitcase with the towel.
Woman: Yes, it's in here. Here you are. But there's no towel in here.
Man: Oh no, did I forget to bring it?
Woman: It looks like it. You'll have to use the hotel one. But perhaps you should buy a new one
before we go to the beach.
4. Man: Are you still trying to decide on a college major?
Woman: Yeah, I'm getting really worried. It's one of the most difficult decisions I've had to make.
Man: Don't be. It's a difficult decision for everyone.

Woman: I guess so. I just can't decide on a specific area to study.
Man: Oh, I understand. I was in the same situation.
Woman: Really? How did you choose?
Man: I thought about what I liked doing the most. If you like what you are doing, then it won't
feel like work.
Woman: But I like so many things. How did you decide on just one?
Man: Actually, I didn't. I chose to have a double major. You could do that.
Woman: Hmm... maybe. I'll think about that.
Man: OK, just remember that you can always change your mind.
5. Woman: Jack, what book are you writing your report on?
Man: I don't know. I haven't decided yet.
Woman: D o n ' t you have any ideas?
Man: Nope. I'm planning on going to the library later this week.
Woman: The report is due really soon. Don't you think you should go to the library today?
Man: Maybe, but I really wanted to go to the miniature golf course this afternoon.
6. Man: Excuse me, I don't know my way around here. I'm looking for the nearest bus station, and I can't
find it. Can you tell me where it is?
Woman: Yes, I can show you on that map you're holding.
Man: Oh, great! Thank you so much! I have the address, but I just can't figure out where the
building is on this map.
Woman: Let me show you. OK, so we are here. And see the bus station? It is right here.
Man: That seems close. Do you think I could walk there?
Woman: Sure. Follow this street for three blocks, then turn left.
Man: Really? Then I'll be there?
Woman: Almost. The bus station is about four blocks from there, on the right. The whole trip should
take you about ten minutes on foot.
Man: Great! I think I can find it now. Thank you for your help.
Woman: D o n ' t mention it.
Task 2
An archaeologist, author, and linguist, Gertrude Bell climbed to the top of her professions just like she
ascended to the top of mountains. She was a passionate learner, teaching herself Persian and Arabic during
her travels through what was then Greater Syria, Mesopotamia, Asia Minor, and Arabia. She was also an avid
and vocal supporter of Iraqi freedom, and is credited with drawing the boundaries of the modern state of Iraq
in the 1920s. Evidence of Bell's passion and dedication as an archaeologist — which is how she spent her final
years in Iraq — lives on today through the highly acclaimed Baghdad Archaeological Museum (now called the
National Museum of Iraq), which she established just before her death. She charted new routes up mountains,
defied social norms for woman, and was among the finest mountaineers of her time. Her passion and curiosity
for the world make her a female adventurer worth remembering.
Task 3
72-year-old Ann Rodgers of Tucson, Arizona was reported missing on March 31, 2016 by her family. After
taking a few wrong turns on a remote dirt road in eastern Arizona, she ran out of fuel. To worsen the situation,
she was out of range on her cellphone. Rodgers made the right move on night-one of her situation, staying
with her car. She had extra clothing for warmth, and some snacks and water for sustenance. On the second
day however, she made a decision which has killed many people over the past century — she left the vehicle
to look for help. Had she stayed with the vehicle, her ordeal would have been shortened by several days, since
local police found the abandoned car on April 3.
But aside from this major blunder, Rodgers showed remarkable skill and tenacity. Each night, she built
a fire for warmth. She drank 'pond water' for hydration. She even found edible plants along the way and
a turtle which she roasted and ate for nourishment. Each of these skills, she claimed to have learned from
a survival class and her continued research on the topic of desert survival. Rodgers told the authorities that
she was angry with them at one point, since help hadn't come. "I was frustrated, but I knew there were
people who cared enough to make sure somebody found me..." But it wasn't because local authorities weren't
trying. The local s h e r i f f s department and the Department of Public Safety were looking for her, with man
trackers, scent dogs and aircraft.
But again, Rodgers' know-how came into play. She had made a large "help" sign from sticks and rocks,
which a DPS pilot spotted on the ninth day of her predicament. Rescue helicopter pilot Lowell Neshem was
quoted saying "I was completely shocked. Up to that point I thought we were looking for a body. I didn't expect
to find her alive." After the helicopter set down and picked her up, Rodgers was flown to a local hospital and
soon released.
TEST 8
Task 1
l . Woman: Hi, Frank. How are you? Are you shopping alone?
Man: Actually, I'm here with my cousin Helen. Have you met her?
Woman: No, where is she?
Man: She's standing over there next to the till.
Woman: Is she the one with short, red hair and the basket of fruit and vegetables?
Man: No, she's the one with the shopping cart.
Woman: But there are two women with shopping carts. Is she the one with short, straight, fair hair?
Man: No, she has long, black hair.
Woman: Oh, OK. I think I see her. She's wearing a grey T-shirt and jeans, right?
Man: Yeah, that's her. Come on, I'll introduce you to her.
Woman: Hurry, Matt. The line is getting longer.
Man: Wow, that line is too long. I'm not standing in it. Let's just go to the video arcade instead.
Woman: I know it's always overcrowded here, but I really want to go again. Please?
Man: No, I'm already soaking wet.
Woman: I know, isn't it great? The log ride is my favorite!
Man: I think we should eat lunch. I'm hungry.
Woman: I guess we can eat lunch, but afterward, can we ride again?
Man: No, I want to ride something different. I don't care for the log ride.
Woman: OK, what?
Man: Let's ride the roller coaster! I heard it's the fastest in the world. Then after that, I want to
ride on the bumper cars.
Woman: All right, that sounds like fun.
3. Woman: So, you're remodeling your kitchen?
Man: Yeah, I met with the builder last Thursday.
Woman: How exciting! You must be thrilled.
Man: I am. The work should begin on Monday.
Woman: How long until the project is finished?
Man: The builder thought he would be finished by Wednesday, but since some of the materials
won't arrive until later and there are many problems with the plumbing, the project won't
be finished until Friday.
Woman: I hope you don't mind my asking, but how much is it going to cost?
Man: I received a really great deal! It is only going to be $2,000 plus materials.
Woman: How did you get such a great price?
Man: My brother-in-law is an architect. He asked his friend to give me a discount.
4. Man: Hi, can you tell me where I could make a copy of a document right now?
Woman: Sir, you can come downstairs right now to the computer lab.
Man: That's great. I don't suppose the copy machine is free for guests?
Woman: Sir, each copy is ten cents or one dime, whichever you prefer.
Man: In the good old days, it was only five cents a copy. I'll be right down.
Woman: Those were the good old days, sir, indeed.
5. Man: Get a doctor here, immediately!
Woman: What's the problem, sir?
Man: My wife is on the floor, she's unconscious!
Woman: Sir, could you calm down a little bit, please?
Man: Calm down?! My wife is unconscious, and you're telling me to calm down?!
Woman: Hold on just a second, sir. I'm dialing 911.
Man: Hurry up, please.

Woman: I'm connecting you now, sir.
6. Man: Hello! Tomorrow I'm going to need a wake-up call.
Woman: Not a problem. What time shall we call you?
Man: I always hit the snooze button, so give me two calls, one at 7 and another at 7:15.
Woman: It'll be our pleasure. We'll call you at 7 and then at 7:15.
Man: Oops, cancel that. Change the second call to 7:30, will you, please?
Woman: N o sooner said than done. Can I help you with anything else?
Man: No, that's about it for now. Thanks.
Woman: Okay, sir. Have a pleasant evening.
Task 2
Louise Boyd is remembered for her extensive exploration of both Greenland and the Arctic, and her writings
about those journeys. She became the first woman to fly over the North Pole in 1955.
In Greenland, Boyd photographed, surveyed, and collected hundreds of botanical specimens, which were
later catalogued by the American Geographical Society.
Ever the adventurer, she also set out across the Polish countryside as a delegate to the International
Geographical Congress in Warsaw.
She traveled by car, boat, train, and on foot, and took hundreds of photographs that were later published
by the American Geographical Society in 1937.
During World War II, Boyd worked on secret assignments for the U.S. Department of the Army and she
was awarded a Department of Army Certificate of Appreciation for her service in 1949.
Task 3
All five rhino species are threatened with extinction. Due to the efforts by governments and dedicated
conservationists, some populations have rebounded, but they are not completely out of danger.
The scarcity of rhinos today and the corresponding intermittent availability of rhino horn only drive the
price higher and intensify the pressure on the declining rhino populations, according to Save The Rhino.
Poachers are now being supplied by international criminal gangs with sophisticated equipment to track and
kill rhinos.
Today, only 29,000 rhinos survive in the world, down from 500,000 in the beginning of the 20th century.
Black rhinos, Sumatran rhinos and Javan rhinos are "critically endangered," which is the list's highest
risk category. There are 5,055 black rhinos, fewer than 100 Sumatran rhinos and only 35 to 44 Javan rhinos,
according to the activist group.
TEST 9
Task 1
1. Rita: Mom, what are you reading?
Mom: It's a magazine article about the best beaches in the world.
Rita: Which beach does it say is the best?
Mom: The article doesn't actually say one is the best. It just talks about three of the author's favourites.
His favourite three are the Phi Phi Islands in Thailand, Playa del Carmen in Mexico, and Corfu
in Greece.
Rita: What is your favourite beach, Mom?
Mom: You know I haven't been to many beaches. But from all the pictures I've seen, I think the
beaches of Bora Bora Island are the best.
Rita: Is Bora Bora an island in French Polynesia?
Mom: Yep!
Rita: Why is it your favourite?
Mom: Because it has the bluest water of any place I have ever seen. And I heard the seafood there is
amazing.
Rita: Maybe if we are really nice to Dad, he will take us one day.
Mom: I doubt it; you know how Dad feels about beaches; he won't even take us to the beach an hour
away.
Rita: I know.
2. Woman: Can I help you with something?

Man: Yeah, thanks. I really like these jeans. Can you tell me how much they are?
Woman: Sure. They cost thirty dollars.
Man: That's great. Can I try them on?
Woman: Sure. The changing room is over there.
Man: Thanks.
3. Man: Hi. What can I get for you today?
Woman: I need a cake for my friend's birthday.
Man: OK. What size of cake do you want?
Woman: 1 don't want a huge one. 1 think a round cake would work.
Man: What kind of cake does your friend like?
Woman: She loves chocolate, especially chocolate frosting.
Man: Well, how about this one? Do you like the swirls of frosting on it?
Woman: 1 think 1 like the cake with strawberries on it better. I'll take that one.
4. Man: Excuse me, ma'am. Can I please take your plates?
Woman: Yes, please. And would it be possible for you to bring me a container to take the rest of my
meal home?
Man: Sure, I'll bring one right away. Did you enjoy everything?
Woman: Yes, it was delicious. It's better than I expected.
Man: You saved room for dessert, right?
Woman: Maybe I'm pretty full, though. What do you have to offer?
Man: Well, we have a fantastic triple chocolate cake. I could pack it so you could take it home.
Woman: Oh, I don't really care for chocolate.
Man: We also have a great lemon cheesecake.
Woman: That does sound good. I don't want to eat it now, but I'll take it home with me.
5. Claire Walters was watching TV in her living room when she suddenly heard two fire engines pull up in
the street outside her house. Terrified that her house was on fire, she rushed outside and saw a crowd of people
all looking upwards. Claire also looked up and saw a sheep standing on her roof.
A fire service spokesman said that the sheep had got onto the roof from a garage at the back of Claire's
house. Firefighters climbed up a ladder and talked to the sheep for 40 minutes, and finally persuaded the animal
to climb back down.
The sheep was later spotted eating a mouthful of grass in its field near the small town of Usk in South
Wales. It seemed unharmed and none the worse for its adventure.
6. Museums around the world are often filled with art and artifacts spanning thousands of years. Unfortunately,
these museums are sometimes regarded as boring or even uninteresting places to visit. But some museums choose
to take a different approach to learning. There are many interesting museums like this throughout the world.
In Washington, D C there is a potato museum that shows various books, toys, and foods related to potatoes.
In Wisconsin, there is an entire museum dedicated to bathroom tissue, and in Tennessee, an entire museum
showcases beverage containers.
Task 2
Annie Smith Peck was a noted mountaineer and a scholar who set several mountain climbing records. As an
early feminist, she scandalized society by climbing in trousers rather than skirts. She planted a flag championing
votes for women atop Mount Coropuna in Peru. As the first climber of the north peak of Peru's HuascarGn, it
was later named Cumbre Аса Peck in her honor.
Not only was she one of the first female initiates of the Royal Geographical Society, but she was a founder
of the American Alpine Club. Peck was still climbing mountains in her early 80s, proving that nothing can keep
a lady adventurer down!
Task 3
Juliane Diller was the sole survivor of the 93 passengers and crew in the December 24, 1971, crash of
LANSA Flight 508 in the Peruvian rainforest. The airplane was struck by lightning during a severe thunderstorm
and exploded in mid-air. A young lady, who was 17 years old at the time, fell thousands of feet still strapped
into her seat. The thick deep jungle canopy cushioned her fall, and she survived with only a broken collarbone,
a gash to her right arm and her right eye swollen shut.
The girl had no training or gear, but her parents had once told her that the best way to find people in the
jungle was to follow a waterway, since people often build camps and villages along the rivers. With no one else
in sight, she struck out alone. Armed with only that bit of information, she was soon able to locate a small
stream, which she followed for nine days. She finally found a canoe and a nearby shelter, where she waited,
and was soon rescued by two loggers.
Without any survival skills or equipment, this brave young lady rescued herself — simply by knowing which
way to go. Sadly, she was the only one to survive the event. Unbelievably, others had made it to the ground
alive, their fall broken by the heavy vegetation. These survivors decided to await rescue, which didn't arrive
until weeks after the plane explosion. Her mother was among this group — who all died of starvation and their
injuries before searchers located the wreckage.

away.

to find a good pet groomer in this town.
Man: Anything for one of my best customers.
Woman: When I looked at Benny this morning, I knew he needed help. I hope you can do something
for him.
Man: Sure. First, though, I'm going to give him a bath.
Woman: Good idea. I just really want Benny to look good since he's going to be in a family picture
the day after tomorrow.
Man: That's nice. He really is a great dog.

Man: N o problem.
6. Woman: I have double checked, and I can handle adding your house to my cleaning schedule.
Man: G o o d , I'm glad. What's your fee?
Woman: For a house this size, I usually charge $130.
Man: Really? I thought it would be a little cheaper than that.
Woman: Well, since it seems like you are pretty neat most of the time, I can do it for $100.
Man: That's a little better, I guess. Thanks. What day will you be coming by?
Woman: It would be best for me if I could come on Friday or Saturday.
Man: Oh, those days I'm so busy with work. What about Sunday?
Woman: No, I d o n ' t work on Sundays. Maybe Thursday?
Man: That would be fine. I'll see you then.
Task 2
I can't believe, 365 days have passed by since we started our nomadic life! Love and Road is celebrating
one year of life, one year traveling around the world. The biggest life decision we have ever made, and we never
imagined we would be so happy with it! Now it's time to look back and realize how far we have gone!
In October 2014 I wrote our first Love and Road review, six months traveling around the world. The post
was written during a bus trip from Pamukkale to Cappadocia in Turkey. This time I'm putting my ideas together
on a train trip from Amsterdam to Berlin, and from Berlin to Barcelona. Not sure why, but long trips make me
more thoughtful and the stunning landscape passing by my window makes me realize how lucky 1 am.
I believe you already know how this story started, our wake up call, how we sold everything, packed our bags
and left Brazil. So now let's go to the point: our travel costs and secrets of 1 year traveling around the world.
How we did, how much we have spent, best moments, curiosities and misadventures. Laughs, tears, fears, and
achievements. A true roller coaster of emotions with breathtaking views from different corners of the world. Now
I can proudly say that Rob and I are professional travelers, digital nomads, travel writers, and happy people!
Task 3
A world map, many dreams, and some money in the bank account. That's how Love and Road started.
To celebrate our first anniversary we gonna share with you our best and worst travel moments, and at the end
of the post, you are going to find our travel bill. I'm sure you will be surprised by the amazing things we have
done and the amount of money we have spent.
We travelled through Africa, Asia, and Europe.
We visited fifteen countries — Cambodia, Croatia, France, Germany, Italy, Malaysia, Monaco, Morocco,
the Netherlands, Philippines, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, Thailand and Turkey.
We saw eighty-three cities. We communicated in thirteen languages. Arabic and Thai were the most difficult.
