C. READING

4. Read carefully the following text

A Cashless world
It’s midnight in Paris and I need money quickly. The
banks are closed, but outside there’s a cash machine. I
put in my bank card, enter my PIN (personal
identification number) and ask for 500 euros. The cash
machine sends a message to my bank in Washington
D.C. My bank replies to the message and says I have the
money in my bank account. After a few short moments,
I receive my cash.
Nowadays, we move money around the world at high
speed. I can get money from a bank anywhere in the
world or I can pay my hotel bill with a credit card. In fact, some people think we don’t need money
at all.
Before money, people bought and sold goods with animals. But you can’t carry animals around
your neck or in a bag so people needed something small. About three thousand years ago, the
Chinese used seashells and later they used metal coins. The Romans also bought and sold objects
with metal coins.
In the thirteenth century, the explorer Marco Polo travelled to China. He saw paper money for the
first time. A century later, countries in Europe used paper money too. One reason was that it was
good for paying large amounts.
Like paper money, cheques were also practical and the Bank of England made the first cheque
book in the nineteenth century. Then, in the early nineteen fifties, the USA introduced credit cards
or ‘plastic money’. This form of payment is still popular today.
For the first time since humans used animals for payment, we can now buy and sell with no coins,
notes or cheques. You can even pay for goods by mobile phone. In Africa, around six million
people already use mobile phones instead of cash. So do we live in a cashless world? Not quite.
Every day, we need some cash for a coffee, a ticket or a newspaper.

D. GRAMMAR – Present Perfect
Time
• The Present Perfect is used to indicate an occurred action in
expressions
an undetermined time in the past, putting relief in the simple
For
fact of having realized, without specifying when that action
Since
took place.
Just / already /
• The present perfect is composed of the verb to have as an
yet / ever /
auxiliary verb + the passive participle of the main verb.
never/recently
• All regular verbs have the same form in the passive this morning
participle that the past simple: walked, talked, etc. /week /month
• This does not happen with irregular verbs like: see, saw, / year
seen; break, broke, broken. Once / twice /
We use the present perfect: three times

• for something that started in the past and continues in the present: cosa que pasaron
• when we are talking about our experience up to the present:
• for something that happened in the past but is important in the
present:
• We use have/has been when someone has gone to a place
and returned.

Affirmative Negative

• For example:
• She has lived here all her life (Regular)
• They have written three letters already. (Irregular)
• He has finished his homework (Regular)

Question

• Notice that when the simple past is employed, we refer to a past


action without relation to the present, while with the present perfect,
we refer to past activities related to the present.
• Also, the present perfect is used to indicate an action that starts in
the past and continues until the present.
• For example:
• Jerry has worked here since 1999.

• My family has lived here for 20 years.

Anyway, I have the documents about the new

here). Maybe you can come and see them one day? I would love to show you Berlin,
especially in the winter. You said you have never seen snow – you will see lots here!

Here's a photo of you and me at the restaurant in Sydney. That was a very fun night!
Remember the singing Englishman? Crazy! Please send me any other photos you have of

D. GRAMMAR – Past Simple Time Expressions

In English, we use the simple past to talk about when things happened. There are
a number of words and phrases that are often used to show when an action or
situation happened in the past. We call them time adverbials.
Here are some of the most common ones:
Ago
We use time reference + ago to show how far back in the past something
happened. For example: The movie ended eight minutes ago.
Last
We use last + time reference to mean the most recent or nearest to the present
day time. For example: I saw a game on TV last night.
Yesterday
We use yesterday or yesterday + morning / afternoon / evening to talk about
the day before today. For example: Karla wore a suit to work yesterday.
In/On/At
We also use the prepositions in, on and at to say when something happened.
§ We use in with years, decades, and centuries. For example:
Nelson Mandela died in 2013.
§ We use on with specific dates. For example:
Martin Luther king was born on January 15
§ We use at with times. For example:
We had breakfast at 9:00 a.m.

Well, I’ve been here in Seattle for exactly three

has happened. I was pretty nervous before we
left the U.K. but it’s been fine since my first
day. I think I’m lucky – I made friends with a
girl at school named Polly. We take a lot of the
same classes and we’ve gotten along really
well since we met. It feels as if I’ve known her
for years! She’s introduced me to other people,
too, and that makes a big difference.
Last week four of us decided to go to the Pike
PlaceMarket – there are lots of cool shops and
stands there.
Then we took a tour on a Duck – it’s a bus and
a boat! It’s great here, but there’s one thing I
really miss. I haven’t heard any football news
for a long time. Can you do me a favor and tell me the standings? OK, I have to stop and
do my science homework. My books have been in my bag since Friday and I’ve done
nothing for my test tomorrow.

D. GRAMMAR – Present Perfect Time Expressions

We use the present perfect to indicate a link between the present and the past
but the time in the past is not specified about when things happened. The present
perfect can be used with non-concrete expressions of time.
Here are some of the most common ones:

We use since to indicate a specific


moment in time. For example:
Since
Steve has lived here since last summer

We use for to indicate the duration or


extension of the action. For example:
For
He has lived for 7 years

Yet We use yet in questions or in negative


phrases. Your position is at the end of
the sentence. For example:
He hasn’t done his homework yet.

Still We use still to talk about an actions


that continues. For example:
She still hasn’t arrive

We use already in affirmative


sentences and in questions with the
Already sole purpose of emphasizing.
For example: He has already finished
his homework

Never means never before now. For


example: I have never visited Berlin
Never
We use ever in questions to know if
Ever something has ever happened. For
example: Have you ever been abroad?

D. READING – WILLIAM BOYS, SCOTLAND


7. Read the following article, then, answer the questions below.

WILLIAN BOYS, SCOTLAND

I’ve been staying in Grenada, an island in the Caribbean, for three weeks and I am having a
brilliant time! There are nine volunteers in our group and everyone’s very kind and helpful.
We’re staying at a campsite by the beach and I share a tent with two other volunteers.

At first, I had a lot of difficulties getting to sleep and I missed the comfort of my own bed, but
I’m sleeping ok now and I love living in such a natural environment. We take turns preparing
meals for the group, which is the worst part of the holiday for me because I hate cooking. We
have one day off a week, Which I spend diving around the coral reefs near here. But of course,
the main reason we’re here is to protect the turtles from other animals and people who want
to steal their eggs.

We also check each turtle‘s health and measure how big they are. Turtles have been living
on our planet for 230 million years-they are even older than the dinosaurs- but now they are
in danger of becoming extinct. You have to be very patient, but it’s incredible to watch a
turtle walk out of the sea and lay her eggs on the beach. That’s definitely been the most
amazing part of the holiday for me. I’m not surprised voluntourism is increasing in
popularity and I’d definitely recommend coming to Grenada. When people ask me if I am
losing my time in volunteering, I tell them, I have not been losing my time at all, this is the
best experience in my life.

A. Warm Up – I have been learning…


1. Read about what has Laura been learning?. Then, answer the following questions.

My English is really getting better. I have been trying to learn the language since 2010,
but only recently have I been able to make some real progress. By the time I started high
school in 2013, I had studied the language for almost three years; however, I was only
able to introduce myself and utter a few memorized sentences. For a couple more years,
I struggled through grammar and vocabulary lessons, which made absolutely no
difference. Nothing worked, so I decided to study abroad.

I found an exchange program in England that sounded like the perfect answer. I stayed
with a host family for one month. It was a huge disappointment! I sat there the whole
time staring at the host mother and father hoping that there would be some
breakthrough. Nothing.

When I returned, I mentioned to a friend that I had been having problems with the
language for years. He recommended that I spend a year in an English speaking country.
I decided to go abroad again. I researched exchange programs for a couple of weeks and
finally decided on a school in the United States.

Well, it worked. I have been living and studying in the U.S. for more than two years. I am
staying here for at least another year before I return home. By then, I should be
completely fluent.

1. How long has she been trying to learn the language?

2. What was the most difficult to learn?

D. GRAMMAR – Present Perfect Continuous Time Expressions

We use the present perfect continuous to show that something started in the past
and has continued up until now. For five minutes, for two weeks, and since
Tuesday are all durations which can be used with the present perfect continuous.
You can also use the present perfect continuous WITHOUT a duration such as for
two weeks. Without the duration, the tense has a more general meaning of lately.
We often use the words lately or recently to emphasize this meaning.
Here are some of the most common ones:

We use since to indicate a specific


moment in time. For example:
Since
Since Tuesday

We use for to indicate the duration or


extension of the action. For example:
For
For 7 years

Lately We use lately without a period of time.


For example:
Recently
Have you been exercising lately?
Recently, I have been feeling really
tired.

E. WRITING AND SPEAKING
10.- Let’s become weather forecasters!

Rain, Sun, Snow!


STEP 1
• Get into groups. Brainstorm some ideas on how you can make some weather predictions
by using just your naked eyes and write some notes on the lines below:
…………………………………………………………………………………………………….

…………………………………………………………………………………………………….
Watch the smoke from a campfire. Air pressure determines wich direction
…………………………………………………………………………………………………….
the smoke will go. At high pressure, smoke will go directy up intro yhe air.
if the pressure is low, it will spiral down around the campfire. if we see that the
…………………………………………………………………………………………………….
smoke falls down, it could most might rain.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………….
When the sun rises too early in the morning it is because the weather is
…………………………………………………………………………………………………….
going to be too hot.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………….
That if the wind is too strong and the clouds are black, there will be a chance
…………………………………………………………………………………………………….
of rain.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………….

…………………………………………………………………………………………………….

…………………………………………………………………………………………………….

…………………………………………………………………………………………………….

…………………………………………………………………………………………………….

…………………………………………………………………………………………………….

STEP 2
• Come to an agreement with each other on the best way to predict the weather by
using your naked eye. You can rely on elderly people's advice.

STEP 3
• Prepare a 5-minute oral presentation with pictures, to explain the way you predict
the weather.
• Don’t forget to use all the new vocabulary you have learned so far, especially the
words related to the weather, and the modals May and Might.

D. GRAMMAR – Shall

 Shall is not used very much nowadays and mostly in formal speech and some legal
documents. Originally Shall was used instead of Will in first person (with I and
We) when talking about the future. Now almost everyone uses Will with all
subjects.

 Nowadays, the most common use of shall in everyday English (although not in
American English) is in questions that serve as offers or suggestions: "Shall I ...?"
or "Shall we ...?"

 The Negative of Shall


The negative of shall is shall not (= will not). The contraction of shall not is shan't
(= won't). It is very rare to hear this used nowadays though you may find it
written in older texts.

B. READING - Homework Advice

2. Read the text about each of the people talking about doing homework and then choose
the correct answer to the questions.

Toby, 13
I don't mind doing my homework, especially if I can listen to jazz rather than pop music on my
phone. When I do, I'm able to think more clearly about what I'm doing. I really enjoy doing my
homework, especially math, and I am very good at it. Or when one of my classmates comes to
my house to study with me. It's best to let my parents and sister know I will be busy, so they don't
come into my room and spend the entire evening talking to me.

Dylan, 14
I usually finish most of my homework before going to bed. And then I do a little more when I
wake up. I'll probably spend five minutes before breakfast reviewing my Spanish vocabulary. I've
always found it easy to do that. If you want to do your homework well, make sure your room is
nice and bright, as you'll fall asleep if you don't!

Sam, 14
It wasn't a big success when I started doing my homework in my room every evening. I was
always looking for something more exciting to do! But I don't have the same problem these days.
I simply go to my room in the evening, turn on the light, and settle down at my desk to work. I
enjoy music, but I find myself thinking about the song rather than my homework when I listen to
it! So I don't listen to music while I study. Before I begin, I turn my phone off or put it away
because it can distract me too.

1. Which person says that he couldn’t study while listening to music?


A Toby B Dylan C Sam
2. Which person needs to put away his phone to concentrate?
A Toby B Dylan C Sam
3. Which person doesn’t want his family to interrupt when he’s studying?

7. Which person says it's easier to do homework now than it was before?

C. GRAMMAR – Ought to

Ought to is a semi-modal verb because it is in some ways like a modal verb and some
ways like a main verb. For example, unlike modal verbs, it is followed by to, but
like modal verbs, it does not change form for a person:
I ought to phone my parents.
It ought to be easy now.
Affirmative
Ought to comes first in the verb phrase (after the subject and before another verb):
We ought to do more exercise.
Ought to cannot be used with another modal verb:
Medicine ought to be free.
Negative
The negative is formed by adding ‘not’ after ought (ought not to). It can be
contracted to oughtn’t to. We don’t use don’t, doesn’t, didn’t with ought to:

We oughtn’t to have ordered so much food.


You oughtn’t to have said that about his mother.
Not: You didn’t ought to have said that about his mother.
The negative of ought to is not common. We usually use shouldn’t or should not
instead:
You shouldn’t speak to your father like that. (preferred to You oughtn’t to speak …)
Questions
The subject and ought to change position to form questions. We don’t use do, does,
did:
Ought she to call the police?
Not: Does she ought to call the police?
Ought we to be more worried about the environment?
Not: Do we ought to be more worried about the environment

D.- PRACTICE
4. Finish the sentences with OUGHT TO. Look at the example

created in Mexico. The organization started when the most terrible
earthquake happened in the capital of Mexico on September 19,
1985.
Nowadays, there are about two hundred volunteers - including
rescue
dogs- and every year it’s a bigger group.
They say it’s easier to help in an emergency with a big group than
with a small one. Each year, they train volunteers to be part of this
team. They are all professional and willing to help. Some volunteers
say they feel satisfied when they collaborate in a rescue mission.
They look for people under destroyed buildings, give survivors
emotional support, and provide food.
This non-profit organization can travel from one place to another
faster than before because they have some help from the Mexican
government.

 It is also called “The Logical Conditional”
 This is sometimes also called the present conditional. We use this conditional
to talk about a fact or convey a logical conclusion.
Examples:
 If you mix yellow and blue, you get green.
 If you heat water to 100 degrees Celsius, it boils.
 If you fall off your motorcycle, it hurts.

 The structure looks like this:


If + present tense clause + present tense clause

 It is often used to describe scientific rules which are, by definition,


unchanging...so the results always happen the same.
Examples:
 If you take the ice out of the fridge in summer, it melts.
 A stone sinks if you throw it in a lake.

 We can also use the zero conditional to say what we do as a rule in certain
situations. Here, we are not talking about what we do in a particular, specific
situation (e.g. tonight, tomorrow) but what we always do in these conditions.
Examples:
 If I get a headache, I go and lie down.
 If I miss the train, my sister always gives me a lift to work.

D. READING- Charlie Chaplin’s Early Life
7. Read the text about Charles Chaplin, then, answer True or False.

Charlie Chaplin's Early Life

He was believed to have been born on April 16, 1889. There is some doubt
whether April 16 is actually his birthday, and it is possible he was not born
in 1889. There is also uncertainty about his birthplace: London or
Fontainebleau, France. There is no doubt, however, as to his parentage: he
was born to Charles Chaplin, Sr. and Hannah Harriette Hill (aka Lily Harley
on stage), both Music Hall entertainers. His parents separated soon after
his birth, leaving him in the care of his increasingly unstable mother.

In 1896, Chaplin's mother was unable to find work; Charlie and his older half-brother Sydney
Chaplin had to be left in the workhouse at Lambeth, moving after several weeks to Hanwell
School for Orphans and Destitute Children. His father died an alcoholic when Charlie was 12, and
his mother suffered a mental breakdown, and was eventually admitted temporarily to the Cane
Hill Asylum at Coulsdon (near Croydon). She died in 1928 in the United States, two years after
coming to the States to live with Chaplin, by then a commercial success.

Charlie first took to the stage when, aged five, he performed in Music Hall in 1894, standing in for
his mother. As a child, he was confined to a bed for weeks due to a serious illness, and, at night,
his mother would sit at the window and act out what was going on outside. In 1900, aged 11, his
brother helped get him the role of a comic cat in the pantomime Cinderella at the London
Hippodrome. In 1903 he appeared in 'Jim, A Romance of Cockayne', followed by his first regular
job, as the newspaper boy Billy in Sherlock Holmes, a part he played into 1906. This was followed
by Casey's 'Court Circus' variety show, and, the following year, he became a clown in Fred Karno's
'Fun Factory' slapstick comedy company.

According to immigration records, he arrived in the United States with the Karno troupe on
October 2, 1912. In the Karno Company was Arthur Stanley Jefferson, who would later become
known as Stan Laurel. Chaplin and Laurel shared a room in a boarding house. Stan Laurel
returned to England but Chaplin remained in the United States. Chaplin's act was seen by film
producer Mack Sennett, who hired him for his studio, the Keystone Film Company.

1.- Chaplin might have been born somewhere else other than London. T/F
2.- His parents separated before he was born. T/F
3.- His mother died alone. T/F
4.- Chaplin got very sick when he was a child. T/F

study tips at the same time!

Many studies about language learning ask the question: What makes a good language learner?
There are some things that good language learners do and some things they don't do. Here are
some of the most useful suggestions from studies.

 Don't be afraid of making mistakes. People often get things wrong. Good language
learners notice their mistakes and learn from them.
 Do group activities. People use language to communicate with other people. A good
language learner always looks for opportunities to talk with other students.
 Make notes during every class. Notes help you to remember new language. Look at your
notes when you do your homework.
 Use a dictionary. Good language learners often use dictionaries to check the meaning of
words they don't know. They also make their own vocabulary lists.
 Think in the language you're learning outside the classroom. When you're shopping or
walking down the street, remember useful words and phrases. Sometimes, when you're
at home, say new words to practice your pronunciation.
 Do extra practice. Test and improve your language, reading and listening skills with self-
study material. You can find a lot of this online.
 Imagine yourself speaking in the language. Many good language learners can see and
hear themselves speaking in the language. This helps their motivation.
 Enjoy the process. Good language learners have fun with the language. Watch a TV series
or film, listen to songs, play video games or read a book. It's never too late to become a

good language learner.

According to the text, are the sentences true or false?

opened its doors to guests. The 32-room hotel is decorated with panda art, panda
furniture and panda-shaped stuffed animals. Even staff members dress in panda
suits. [Panda Inn, Sichuan, China]
2) Welcome to Ittoqqortoormiit, Greenland. Here you can live with the Inuit and
incredible wildlife that surrounds Igloo Village. Dog sledding, traveling to frozen
fjords, visiting deserted villages, and sleeping in an icy cave are just a few of the
things you can do at this cold weather destination. Hopefully the local bears won’t
realize you’re a tourist and eat you out of spite. [Igloo Village]
3) Some people are skipping their cruise to the Caribbean and opting to sail to a Texas-
sized patch of floating trash in the Pacific Ocean instead. For about $10,000per
person, you can head to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch — famous for its high
concentrations of plastic waste, chemical sludge, and debris trapped by the
currents of the North Pacific Gyre (a swirling pattern of oceanic currents).
Vacationers help operate a trawl that collects microscopic plastic particles that
threaten local wildlife and haul bigger heaps of junk offshore. [Great Pacific Garbage
Patch]
4) Rio Tinto, or Red River as it translates, is a river in Andalucía famed for its colored
water. The unusual river is one of the places on Earth that most closely resembles
the surface of Mars. The site along the river is full of copper, silver, gold, iron and
has been heavily mined since ancient times. The river's water is dense due to the
metals it carries and it has low oxygen content. [Rio Tinto, Spain]
5) Alnwick is home to about 100 killer plants like Atropa belladonna (deadly
nightshade), Strychnos nux-vomica (strychnine), and Conium maculatum
(hemlock). The garden has a license to grow things like cannabis, which is kept
behind bars in a giant cage. Another attraction Alnwick is popular for is the castle
on the same grounds that was a stand-in for Hogwarts in several of the Harry Potter
films. [Alnwick Poison Garden]
6) The world’s only indoor beach was located in Miyazaki, Japan. It shut down in 2007,
but during its 14-year run the Ocean Dome saw up to 1.25 million visitors per year.
The Dome featured a fake volcano, fake sand, fake fish and fauna, a steady86 degrees
Fahrenheit, and water park rides. The vast man-made beach measuredaround 984
feet long and had a retractable roof that sported a permanent blue sky. [Seagaia

D. LISTENING AND READING

7. Listen to the presentation about Integrated farming and fill in the eight spaces with the words
you listen to.

Farming Techniques That Will Feed a Family


The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) estimates that poor countries will spend up to
one hundred seventy billion dollars this year to import food. This is an increase of forty percent
from last year. The United Nations agency says the rising price of food over the past year is a
serious problem because most hungry people also live in (1) poverty .
A humanitarian organization based in Washington D.C. has a new (2) anti-hunger
project. Women for Women International is teaching poor women in Sudan and Rwanda a new
food production system called commercial integrated farming. The women are trained to grow
crops that not only feed their families, but also earn them a (3) profit .
Pat Morris is program director at Women for Women International. The group launched its
commercial integrated farming program in Rwanda. Female farmers receive information about
what kind of seeds (4) to use, how to farm without (5) chemical and
when to (6) harvest . The program also provides business skills training. Mizz
Morris says women being trained in Rwanda could more than triple the amount of money they
earn from farming.
With integrated farming, the women raise animals and different (7) crops on one
piece of land. Animal waste provides (8) fertilizer . Some of the crops can be used as
animal feed. In Rwanda, the women have been able to grow traditional crops like bananas and
sorghum grain along-side higher-value crops, such as pineapples. A hectare of farmland in
Rwanda used to earn about four hundred twenty dollars a year. But a family using integrated
farming techniques on the same piece of land can earn as much as three thousand five hundred
dollars a year.
Women for Women International works with local community partners to design and carry out
its integrated farming program. Grace Fisiy is an agricultural business expert working in
Rwanda and Sudan. She says the local media in both countries have helped educate people
about integrated farming. Women for Women International plans to train at least three
thousand women in Sudan and Rwanda. Mizz Fisiy hopes the program will expand to other
countries as well.

C. GRAMMAR – Imperative

Imperatives are verbs used to give orders, commands, warnings, or


instructions, and if you use “please” to make a request.
e.g. Give me that tape, please.

To make the imperative, use the infinitive of the verb without "to"
e.g. Come here! Sit down!

To make a negative imperative, put "do not" or "don't" before the verb:
e.g. Don't go! Do not walk on the grass.

You can also use "let's" before the verb if you are
including yourself in the imperative. The negative of
"let's" is "let's not".
e.g. Let's stop now. Let's have some lunch. Let's not argue. Let's not tell her
about it.

Orders
Adults do not usually give each other orders, unless they are in a position
of authority. However, adults can give orders to children and to animals.
The intonation of an order is important: each word is stressed, and the
tone falls at the end of the sentence:
e.g. Sit down now! "Sit", "down" and "now" are all stressed, and the tone falls on "now".

Warnings
You can use the imperative to warn someone of danger. All
the words in the warning are stressed, but the last word has
a higher tone than the first word:
e.g. Sit down now! "Sit", "down" and "now" are all stressed,
and the one falls on "now". Watch out! Look out!
Don't cross!

Advice
When you give advice using the imperative, the words are stressed normally.
e.g Don't tell him you're resigning now! Wait until Monday when he's in a better
mood. Don't drink alcohol Don't eat heavy meals

Requests
You can also use the imperative to make a request, but
you should use a polite word before the verb:
e.g Please take a seat. Please wait here. Please hold the line. Please don't
smoke here.

121

Lesson 5D

The first conditional is used to talk about something that will probably
happen or is likely to happen in the future. It can also be used to give
advice.The structure is made up of two clauses:

• A clause starting with 'if' in the present simple tense.

• A clause with a future meaning using 'will', 'be going to', a modal to talk about the future such as
'might' or'should', or other words that indicate a future time.

Either clause can be first in the sentence. If the 'if' clause is first, a comma separates the clauses.
Examples:

• If you work harder, you will have enough money to go to Tokyo.

• You will have enough money to go to Tokyo if you work harder.

1. Complete the sentences with the verb in brackets. Use the First Conditional.

1 If my aunt comes to visit, she .......................... (give) us a present.

3. Rose is an advice columnist. People write to her about their problems, and she gives them advice.
Read the following email to Rose. Underline the 'if' clauses and double underline the clauses with
a future meaning.

Dear Rose,
My friends told me that if I tell you my problem, you'll give me advice. Please help me. My problem
is that two men want me to marry them, and I can't choose. Will I be happyif I choose the first man?
Or if I choose the second man, will I be happier?

The first man is very good looking, and he tells me that I am beautiful. He said that he'll always want
to be with me if I stay beautiful even when I'm older. If we have children together, I'm sure that our
children will also be good-looking. We have different religions,but if we never talk about religion, we
shouldn't have any problems concerning it.

The second man is average looking, but he is very rich. He also tells me that I am beautiful. He will buy
me anything if I tell him that I like it. If his business goes well, he might become even richer. I will be
very rich too if I marry him. If I'm rich, I won't have any problems.
We don't have a lot in common, but if we're rich, we'll be able to buy anything we want.What should
I do? Confused in Cardiff

4. Now, take on the role of the advice columnist. Write a response to 'Confused in Cardiff',giving
