Revision
Hi, Tinkerbell!
Hi, Tinkerbell!
I‘m writing to you because you’re my last hope. I’m going

through a really bad period at school. It’s all because of
“The Fab Five”, a group of kids who are doing their best
to make my life miserable. They call me a nerd and they
laugh at me because I wear glasses. They also hide my
schoolbag or they throw my stuff around. I even get
threatening phone calls and messages. Why are they
doing this? Am I really such a failure? The other kids tease
me about it or they just do nothing. Even my best friend
doesn’t talk to me anymore. The teachers don’t know
what is going on because everybody pretends nothing is
happening. My parents are not much help either, because
they don’t take it seriously. My mum thinks I should just
forget about it, and my dad says it’s all just kids’ stuff. But,
it’s not. I’m getting more and more depressed every day. I don’t laugh any more. I stay
at home all the time and play the guitar. Now I’m working on a song called You’re not
alone. Isn’t that funny? It’s Saturday evening and I’m sitting here all alone playing that
song. It seems that You’re not alone doesn’t work in my case.
Justin
E Choose the correct indefinite pronoun. Which of the sentences are true according to Justin’s
letter? Tick them.
1 Nobody / Anybody knows anything / something about Justin’s problem.

2 Anybody / Everybody calls him names and laughs at him.

3 His best friend is trying to do everything / something about it.

The Dangers of Piercing

Body piercing is one of the oldest forms of body art. In the past people pierced their bodies to
show their importance in the group, or because they believed it would protect them from evil.
Today piercing has become attractive to many teens simply because it is a trend. Pierced belly
buttons, lips, tongues and noses have become quite common. But piercing is not just
“a piece of cake”. It is a big decision which leads to serious health problems. The risks include
infections, allergic reactions, bleeding and damage to nerves and teeth. Apart from allergic
reactions, the wrong type of jewellery causes swelling and a lot of pain. If the needles used for
piercing haven’t been sterilized properly, you get hepatitis B and C or even an HIV infection.
G Look at the article in Task F and rewrite the sentences that contain the verb in colour. Use
may or might.

Croatia – The Home of the First Tie

Did you know that Croatia is the homeland of the first tie? Let’s go back to the beginning of the
17th century when Croatian soldiers wear a scarf around their necks as part of their traditional
military dress. During the Thirty-Years’ War (1618-1648), Croatian soldiers get as far as Paris. The
French like their style so much, that they start wearing this new fashion item “a la Croate”. This
expression gives birth to the new French word “cravate” and the tie soon becomes known as a
symbol of elegance all over the world. Four hundred years later the largest tie in the world is tied
around the Pula Arena. The 808-meter-long tie presents Croatia as the home of the tie to the
world.
The story of the tie has its romantic side, too. Croatian folk tradition explains why soldiers put
on those scarves. Girlfriends and wives gave their boyfriends and husbands scarves as a symbol
of their love and fidelity. It’s not surprising that a tie has always been among the most popular
presents for gentlemen.
