A guest lies that a meal is delicious when in fact it isn’t to avoid hurting the host’s feelings.
C Express and support an opinion
Answer will vary but may include the following:
I think lying is good for us socially. If we always spoke our mind about everything, there
would be a lot of unhappy people. There is no harm in telling your friend her hair looks nice,
even if you don’t like it. Often it’s a matter of opinion.

1. Children usually have a deep respect for their first role-models—their parents. When they
see their parents do something, they believe it must be right and mimic it.
2. A financial loss could force a person to re-evaluate one’s life. Suddenly things that
were taken for granted—for example, a regular paycheck or a house, may no longer be
available. A person can be forced to look at and appreciate life differently than before.
3. Examples of ethical dilemmas could be taking credit for something at work when we
didn’t earn it, keeping cash from a wallet we find on the street, or stealing ideas or words
from a source when writing a research paper.

C Listening warm-up
In my opinion, it’s not necessarily a responsibility, but it is honorable when celebrities do
share their wealth and make a difference in the world. By acting kindly towards others they
also can inspire people who admire them to do the same.

international celebrity help.
Huge donations raised by celebrities often provide increased opportunities for corruption.
Some celebrity philanthropists can be motivated by their own fame.
They see philanthropy as an opportunity for photo ops.

I Support an opinion
I think that celebrities can make good philanthropists as long as their involvement is
honorable and honest. The work of people like Angelina Jolie has changed lives and has
inspired others to do the same.
WRITING
B Practice
Answers will vary but may include the following. Corrections are underlined.
What I Learned from My First Job
While working at my first job, which was at a clothing store, I had a co-worker who got me
into a lot of trouble. When the manager counted the money in the cash register, it had come
up short. The co-worker had taken some of the money, so she shifted the blame to me. I
insisted that I wasn’t responsible, but the manager, who didn’t know me, fired me immediately.
Ten years later, I got a phone call that really surprised me. It was from the woman who
had blamed me for taking the money. She called me to apologize for what she had done.
Apparently it had been bothering her for a long time.
This incident taught me an important lesson. Sometimes when people tell a lie, they hurt
themselves more than the other person. While I had completely forgotten about the incident,
it was my former co-worker who felt badly about it for all those years.

pronounced words differently

understand how the muscles move when a word is formed.

people faced with handicaps and other problems.

but rather than just save his own life, he bravely put himself in danger to save other people’s
lives. He fearlessly returned to the sight of the crash and carried people to safety. He was
willing to risk his life to help others. Although described by his friends as an ordinary man,
he proved to be a hero.
