HOW TO HAVE A GREAT DAY EVERY DAY
Many people want to know how to work harder and feel better. How can you have a
great day at school or at the office? A good daily routine can help you to have a great
day every day.
9
A Get up early
Many people want to stay in bed in the morning, but it is best to get up before 7:00
a.m. If you start working or studying early, you will have more ideas and you will be
able to work faster. Many well-known writers and musicians from the past believed
that it was important to get up early – and to go to bed early too. You should also try
to get up at the same time every day, because this is good for your body and brain.
B Eat breakfast
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. People often say that they don’t have
time to eat breakfast, but they will find it more difficult to start work, and they will
soon feel very hungry. A healthy meal of toast, eggs, and fruit juice will help you to
work well all morning – and stop you from eating unhealthy food like crisps and
chocolate later in the morning!
C Go for a walk
If you usually spend a lot of time in your office or in the classroom, it is very
important to go outside and get some fresh air. If you spend just 30 minutes a day
walking outside, you will feel less tired and you will be able to do more when you get
back to work or school. A walk in the park every day will make you feel much
healthier and will help you to do your best work.

6. Many people don’t want to do this.
○A ○B ○C
Exercise 3: Choose the correct verbs to complete the email.
Dear Jane,
Thank you for your email. It was very interesting to hear about your daily life in
Cambridge, England. I am writing to tell you about my typical day in Rome. On
school days I usually (do/get/have) up at 7:00 a.m. I have a shower and
(do/get/make). In Italy, we don’t have to wear a school uniform, so I normally wear
jeans and a tee-shirt. Then I (do/have/take) breakfast with my parents and sister. I
usually eat bread with jam and drink orange juice. My school starts at 8:30 a.m., so I
leave my house at 8:00 a.m. I don’t live far from the school, so I walk there with my
friends. My sister’s school is far away, so she takes a bus. I have lessons in the
morning until 1:00 p.m. and then I go home and (do/go/have) lunch with my mum. In
Italy we often eat a lot for lunch, including pasta, meat and salad, but we have a
much smaller dinner. In the afternoon I do my homework and help my mum to
(do/have/make) the housework. I do the washing up and (do/have/take) out the bins. I
have football practice on Tuesday afternoons and a piano lesson on Thursday
afternoons. I have dinner at about 7:00 p.m. Every day after dinner, I (go/have/take)
for a walk with my family around the town. We often stop and have an ice cream in
my favourite ice cream shop. I usually (go/have/make) to bed at about 10:00 p.m.,
because I have school the next day.
Hope to hear from you soon.

Best wishes,
Alessia

6 Alicia always/ sometimes goes for a walk after dinner.
Exercise 5: Read the text about professional swimmer Michael Daley’s day. Then
complete the next exercise.
I usually get up at around 6:00 a.m. Before I became a professional swimmer, I

got up late most days, but I don’t ever stay in bed now, even on Sundays! I always go
to the gym in the mornings. I spend about 30 minutes on the running machine, and
then another 30 minutes doing other exercises. It is very important for me to stay fit
and healthy. I only spend two hours at the gym when I have a big swimming
competition. I get home from the gym at about 8:00 a.m., have a shower and get
dressed. I always have a big breakfast of cereal with banana, toast, eggs, coffee and
orange juice. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day for me because I do a lot
of swimming every day. After breakfast, I go for a long walk in the park near my
house. The exercise helps me to relax and feel prepared for the rest of the day.
Then it’s time for me to start work. From 10:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. I normally
go to the swimming pool and train for two hours with my personal trainer. I swim
about five kilometres, and practise diving. After my training, I usually have a meeting
with my trainer to talk about how well I’m doing and what I still need to work on. I
sometimes have lunch at the pool café with my trainer, but if I have a television
interview, I’ll walk over to the TV studio. All my friends think that it’s exciting to be
on television, but it takes a long time to film, so it can be a bit boring. It’s not difficult
to do TV interviews, but it takes a long time to get ready. At home, it takes me about
20 minutes to have a shower, get dressed and do my hair, or maybe half an hour if I’m
going somewhere special, but at the TV studio it takes an hour! If I have a big
competition coming up, then I do more training in the afternoon, or have more
meetings with my trainer.
13
In the evenings, I usually relax at home with my wife, Emma. I quite enjoy
cooking, so we often eat at home together. Emma hated my cooking at first, but now
she thinks it’s OK. Her father is a chef at a top restaurant, so she loves good food. We
sometimes go to a restaurant for dinner. We both love Korean food, and there’s a
great place near my house. I never eat fast food like burgers and kebabs, or my trainer
will get angry with me. Then Emma and I usually watch a film on television. We both
love comedy films, and Emma also likes romantic films, but I’m not a big fan – I
prefer action films. I usually go to bed at 10.00 p.m. because I need to be back in the
gym by 7.00 a.m. the next day!

Dear Sir or Madam,
My name is Haruka Murukami. I come from Tokyo in Japan. I am coming to the USA in August
and will start my course at New College in September. Thank you for sending me the course
information. I felt a bit worried about the course before, but now I feel really excited about
studying at New College. I am writing to find out about student accommodation for international
students. I would like to know what the rooms are like and what furniture they have. I would
also like to know where students like me who live on the campus can eat.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Best wishes,
Haruka.

4.Haruka feels …………… about the course now.
5. Haruka wants to know what …………… the rooms have.
6. Haruka wants to know where she is able to ……………
Exercise 3: Read the text. Then complete the exercise.
Many international students come to study at New College every year. There are three main
types of accommodation available to international students: college halls of residence, private
houses or flats, and host families.
A. College halls of residence

There are three halls of residence on the college campus. Tulip Hall and Rose Hall have single
rooms for students with a bed, desk, chair, wardrobe, cupboard and a bookcase. There are shared
bathrooms and a shared kitchen. In Holly Hall, the rooms also have their own bathrooms.
Students have breakfast, lunch and dinner in the college restaurant. The college halls of residence
are a good choice for students who want to make new friends, but would prefer not to cook their
own meals.
B. Private houses or flats

Some students prefer to find their own house or flat in the city. This is more expensive than
staying on campus or with a host family, but many students like to do this because they can live
with their friends. Students can find houses and flats to rent in the city on the college website.
This is a good option for students who prefer to cook for themselves. There is often a living
room where students can spend time together when they are not working.
C. Host families
Another popular choice for international students is to stay with a local host family. Students live
in a house or flat with a family. The family makes breakfast and dinner for the student, but they
need to buy their own lunch. The family also spends time with them in the evening and organises
34
activities for the weekend. All students have their own bedroom, and share the bathroom, living
room and kitchen with the family. This is a really good way for international students to improve
their level of English quickly by talking to members of the host family.
Match the information with the three paragraphs. Read the text again to help you.
1. This costs more than the other types of ccomodation.
○A ○B ○C
2. This accomdation includes three meals.

3. Students need to cook their own meal in this type of accomodation.

5. This accomdation has three diffrerent buiding where students can live.
○A ○B ○C
6. This type of accomdation can help students to improve their English.
○A ○B ○C
Exercise 4: Read the text again. Which type of accommodation would be the best choice for
each student?
1. Komal from India
I would like to get to know people from this country and to improve my level of English really
quickly. I don’t want to spend a lot of money on a room. I like cooking, and would like to learn
how to cook English food.
Best choice of accommodation:
○halls of residence ○private house or flat ○host family

2. Pierre from France
I am planning to study a lot this year, so I want to be close to the library. I don’t want to spend a
lot of time shopping for food and cooking.

3. Yuxi from China
My sister and I are both studying at New College and I would like to live together, maybe with
one or two other people. We would like to live close to the college, but we prefer to cook our
own meals.

4. Ahmed from Dubai
I am new from the city, and I would like to make new friends . I don’t like cooking and I don’t
want to travel far to get to the college.

5. Nasreen from Saudi Arabia
I would like to relax in the evening and talk to people in English. I don’t want to spend all of my
time with students from my country, as I need to improve my level of English quickly.

Exercise 5: Read about professional runner Rosa Martinez and where she goes on holiday.
Then complete the exercise.
A As a famous runner, I do a lot of travelling as part of my job. Last year I did races in London,
New York, Paris and Dubai. I also went to Thailand for a big sports event, which was an
amazing experience. However, when I have time to take a holiday, I love going to my aunt and
uncle’s house in the south of Spain. I go there for two weeks every summer with my whole
family. My aunt and uncle bought the house when I was very young, and I still remember the
summers I spent there when I was a child. It is a beautiful house and my favorite place to stay in
36
the whole world.
B The house is just outside a small village and it is close to the mountains and the sea. It is more
than 100 years old. In the past, it was a farm with horses, chickens and sheep. There are no
animals there now, but there is still a lot of land, so the house has a really big garden. In the
garden, there is a barbecue area, and we often have dinner there in the summertime. There are
fruit trees, vegetables and a lot of flowers. We don’t need a swimming pool, because the house is
so close to the sea. We always spend a lot of time at the beach when we go there in the summer.
C All of the rooms are large and pretty. On the ground floor, there is a big kitchen and living
room, a bathroom and one bedroom. Upstairs there is one large bedroom with its own small
bathroom. You can see the mountains from this bedroom. There are two more bedrooms where
you can see the sea. My favorite bedroom is the first one on the left when you go up the stairs. I
used to stay there when I was a child. It has a seat in the window where I like to sit and read
books or write letters.
D The style of the house is very traditional. There is a very large dinner table in the kitchen, so
that the whole family can sit down and eat together. The living room has comfortable chairs and
a large television screen. We often watch films or play games there in the evenings. My uncle
made a lot of the furniture himself. He made the tables and chairs in the kitchen and all the beds.
The walls are all painted in different shades of green and blue to look like the sea. My aunt loves
to paint and does beautiful paintings of the mountains and the sea in the area. There are many of
these paintings on the walls.
E The house is close to some of the most beautiful countryside in the area, and it is
possible to walk to some of the best beaches, where there are not many people. In fact,
we sometimes have the whole beach to ourselves! The village is a short walk or bicycle
ride from the house, and you can find some lovely cafés and restaurants in the main
square. I often go canoeing, horse riding and hiking nearby. It is great to get away from
the city and relax in nature.

Exercise 3: Read the letter from Rachel to her pen friend Susie. Then complete the
exercise.
Dear Susie,
Thank you for your letter. I’m writing to tell you about the sports I enjoy doing. I like
playing tennis and swimming, but my favorite sport is cycling. I got my first bike
when I was 8, and I started cycling to school with my sister, Helen, when I was 12.
Now my sister goes to a different school, so I ride to school with my friend Laura. At
the weekend, I often go cycling in the countryside with my parents and Helen. We
cycle all day and take a picnic for lunch. We go cycling in winter and summer, but I
prefer cycling in winter because the countryside looks pretty. I like taking photos on
my phone of the trees and animals.
I also go on cycling holidays with my family. We usually go to the north of England,
but last summer, we went to the mountains in the south of Spain. We all enjoyed
cycling in the day and going to restaurants in the evenings. It was sometimes difficult
to cycle in Spain. It was not difficult to cycle in the mountains because we had
mountain bikes, but the weather was very hot, so we got quite tired. I would like to go
cycling in Spain again next summer, but my parents want to go cycling in Scotland.
I also cycle for my school team. My friend Laura joined the team two years ago, and I
joined last year. We race against cyclists from other schools. Last year, I won second
prize in the 10 km race. I was really happy, but next year I will try to win first prize.
In your next letter, please tell me about the sports you like. What is your favorite
sport? Are you in a team?

Exercise 5: Read an article about a teenager’s hobby. Then choose the correct answer,
True or False.
Adam Jones has an unusual hobby for a 15-year-old boy. Most of his friends like to
spend their time playing sports like football and basketball or playing computer
games, but Adam prefers to cook. Adam first became interested in food from
watching cookery programs on television, but he learned how to cook from his
father who was a chef in a local Italian restaurant. His father says that Adam is now
59
the best cook in the family. In the past, Adam’s father did all the cooking for the
family, but now Adam cooks most of the family meals. His parents love Adam’s
cooking, and even his younger sister Sarah eats most of the food he cooks.
Adam likes cooking food from all over the world, but especially Italian, Indian and
Thai food. Last year, he went on holiday to India and Thailand with his family, and he
enjoyed trying all of the different dishes. Next year, he is going to travel to China and
learn how to cook Chinese food. Adam also likes computers and has his own website
called ‘Cook with Adam’. He first made the website as part of a school project, but
now he uses it to tell people about his cooking and to teach young people how to cook.
It has easy food recipes, photos of his food and videos to show people how to cook his
favorite meals. The website is very popular with young people, and Adam hopes that
it will make them more interested in learning to cook. His father now has his own
restaurant, and Adam has a part-time job as a chef there. When people go to the
restaurant, they are often surprised that the chef is so young. Adam’s father is happy
for him to work there, but only at the weekends because he doesn’t want him to be too
tired for school.
Adam recently won the first prize in a cooking competition for young people in the
UK. He made a chicken curry with rice and vegetables and a chocolate and raspberry
dessert. He was very surprised to be in the final part of the competition, and he
couldn’t believe it when he won first prize. He won £500 and a cooking lesson with a
famous TV chef. Adam’s whole family were very happy that he won the competition,
especially his father. After the competition, he appeared on a television news show
and a cookery show. In the future, Adam wants to move to London and work as a chef
at a top restaurant. He would also like to have his own cookery show on TV and to
travel around the world and learn how to cook food from many different countries.

big difficult exciting fun happy healthy tired
Dear Rachel,
Thank you for your letter. I also enjoy sports. I like playing basketball and swimming, but my
favorite sport is football. I like football, because it is an exciting game, and it is a good way to
stay healthy. I started playing football when I was 9. In the summer, I often go to a football
summer camp. The summer camp is in the countryside, about two hours from my city, Los
Angeles. It is near a big forest. We do football training in the mornings and play matches in
the evenings. In the afternoons, we do other sports like swimming, walking and cycling. We
work hard, but we have a lot of fun too.
I also play for a football team. I joined the school team when I was 12. We do football
training twice a week, and we usually play a match on Saturdays with other school teams. I
always feel tired after matches, so I go to bed early! Sometimes we play on the football field
at our school, and sometimes we travel to other schools by bus and play there. Every year,
our school enters a football competition with schools all over California. Last year, our team
won the competition, so we were all really happy, and we had a special dinner at a restaurant
to celebrate. Next year, I want to join another girl’s football team in Los Angeles. It is a
strong team with lots of good players, so it’s difficult to get onto the team. I need to do a lot
of training this summer!
Hope to hear from you soon!

Best whishes,
Susie

Dear Adam,
Hello from Coconut Island! I am having a brilliant time relaxing on the beach with my
aunt and uncle and my brother. It’s a shame that my parents aren’t here – they had to
stay at home and work. The beach has beautiful white sand, palm trees and clear blue
water. I went swimming this morning, and the water was lovely. It wasn’t too cold.
There are a lot of different activities to do on the beach. Yesterday morning me and
my brother tried surfing. He was much better than me, but I still enjoyed it. My
favorite activity was the boat trip yesterday afternoon. We saw dolphins and a lot of
colorful fish. Yesterday evening, we had dinner in a restaurant next to the beach and
ate fish. I usually don’t like fish, but the food at the restaurant was delicious!
See you next week.
Best wishes,
Tom

its rides. The oldest ride in the park was built in 1914, and people can still ride on it
today. One quite scary ride is called ‘vertigo’ and it travels at 100 km per hour. This ride
won the prize for the Best Ride of 2014. There are also many restaurants, where people
can eat food from all over world. There are many old buildings and the beautiful gardens
are a very good place to relax.
C _____________________
Many people ask the same question about Tivoli Gardens – how does it still get so many
visitors after all these years? One reason why so many people love Tivoli Gardens is
because there is something there for everyone. Some of riders are old, and others are new.
Some riders are scary and other are relaxing. The rides are not just popular with children.

beautiful buildings and gardens, and colored lights at night time, so people feel relaxed
and happy.
D _____________________
Tivoli Gardens is open all year, and there are different things to see and do all year round.
In spring, visitors can enjoy the beautiful flowers in the gardens. In summer, the park is

Exercise 2: Read Richard’s letter to his friend, Alessandro. Choose the correct words to
complete the sentences.
Dear Alessandro,
Thank you for your email. You asked me to tell you about the food in the UK. Some people
10
0
think that British people eat unhealthy, fried/ heat food like fish and chips all the time.
However, this is not true. A lot of British people prefer to eat food from other countries.
Chinese and Indian food is very like/ popular in the UK. Many people eat Chinese or Indian
food at the weekend, and some people cook it at home. I like Indian food a lot and think that
it is very boring/ tasty, but some dishes with a lot of chili are a bit too spicy for me. Many
people also think that British people have afternoon tea every day at 4:00 p.m. This is also
not true! People sometimes have afternoon tea with sandwiches and spicy/ sweet foods like
cakes, but only on special occasions.
You also asked me about what food I like. My favourite/ popular dish from my country is
called Shepherd’s Pie. It is a cold/ hot dish made of meat and vegetables and potato, which is
cooked in the oven. It tastes really good. I usually eat it with a lot of fresh vegetables like
peas or cabbage, so it is quite a fat/ healthy dish. My mum usually cooks it for me and my
brother when we come home from university. I like to eat Shepherd’s Pie in the winter when
it is cold, because it makes me feel warm. My favourite cold/ sweet dish is apple pie which is
baked. Many people believe that British food is not so tasty, but I think we have some boiled/
delicious dishes.
Best wishes,
Richard

traditional Turkish restaurant and had a kebab, which is the most famous dish in Turkey. It
was delicious. After dinner we had coffee. The waiter also gave us baklava, which are small
sweet cakes made of honey. I am going to bring some home so that you can try them. I know

to try the local food. However, eating dinner in a restaurant every night can be expensive, and
10
2
many people find the restaurants they choose are full of tourists and not many local people. A
much better way to try local food is to eat ‘street food’, food made and sold not in a restaurant,
but on the street, from a ‘stall’ or large table. It is often very tasty and you can try many different
small dishes. It’s also cheaper than eating in restaurants. Different countries have their own
famous types of street food. France is famous for baguettes, which are a type of French bread
filled with cheese or meat with salad. You can buy baguettes from stalls on the street in many
French cities. In Italy, there are slices of pizza, and arancini which are fried balls of rice with
cheese, meat or vegetables inside. The name arancini means ‘oranges’ in Italian. Mexico has
tacos, a dish with spicy beans and meat. Eating street food is also a great way to learn about new
places and to talk to local people about the food in their country. So, the next time you travel to a
new country, don’t go to a restaurant, go to the street instead! You will love the delicious food
you can find there.
Complete the sentences with one word from the text.
1. Many people like to try the local _________ when they visit another country.
2. Many restaurants have a lot of _________ but not many local people go there.
3. Street food is usaully _________ than food in restaurants.
4. You can buy baguettes on the _________ in many cities in France.
5. Arancini is the Italian word for _________.
6. Tacos are a popular street food in _________.
Exercise 5: Read about food in four different countries.

A Japan
Japanese food is fresh, healthy and tasty. It includes a lot of fish, vegetables, tofu and
rice. Typical dishes are ramen, a type of soup with noodles and vegetables or seafood,
and curries with chicken or tofu. Japanese people usually eat small amounts of food.
They also like to eat their food very slowly and this stops them from eating too much. For
this reason, Japanese people are among the healthiest people in the world and do not get
ill very often. Japanese people do not eat a lot of sweet dishes, but they enjoy eating fruit
10
3
and small cakes called dorayaki. To celebrate the new year, Japanese people often eat
cakes made of rice, and a special soup called ozoni.
B Italy
When many people think of Italian food, they think of delicious but not very healthy
food like pasta with meat sauces, lots of cheese, and, of course, pizza. However, Italians
don’t eat these dishes every day. They eat a lot of healthy foods, including vegetables,
tomatoes and olive oil. A typical Italian meal usually includes several different small
dishes. Italians stay healthy by eating a lot of vegetables and only a little meat. Lunch is
the main meal of the day and Italians like to have long lunches at home. Sometimes
Italians will get together with their friends and family in the evening and go to a pizzeria
to eat pizza. After dinner, they might have a gelato, a type of Italian ice cream, which has
many delicious flavors.
C China
Chinese people eat a lot of vegetables, which are usually steamed or fried. They eat some
meat and fish, but usually not very much, and often on special occasions. Rice, noodles
and dumplings are popular Chinese dishes. A lot of Chinese dishes use garlic and ginger,
which are tasty and are good for the stomach. Green tea is a popular drink in China, and
many people believe that it helps them to stay healthy. China has many festivals, and
people often eat special food during these times. People eat dumplings to celebrate
Chinese New Year, and for the Autumn Festival people eat special cakes called moon
cakes. Festivals are often special times for families to get together and eat delicious food.
D Poland
Polish people like to eat food that keeps them warm in winter. Soup, meat and small
dumplings called pierogi are all popular dishes. Pierogi can be sweet or savory. Polish
dishes are usually served with vegetables, especially carrots, potatoes and cabbage. Polish
people also like sweet dishes, especially cakes. Cheesecake and doughnuts are popular
10
4
for dessert, and people make special cakes for weddings and festivals. Polish people
usually eat four small meals a day. They eat the main meal of the day in the afternoon,
usually at about 2:00 p.m. This meal usually has three dishes, a soup, a meat dish and a
dessert. In December, Polish people eat a special meal to celebrate Christmas, which
includes 12 different dishes!

A Thank you for your email. You asked me to tell you about the food in the UK. Some
people think that British people eat unhealthy, fried food like fish and chips all the time.
However, this is not true. A lot of British people prefer to eat food from other countries.
Chinese and Indian food is very popular in the UK. Many people eat Chinese or Indian
food at the weekend, and some people cook it at home. I like Indian food a lot and think
that it is very tasty, but some dishes with a lot of chilli are a bit too spicy for me. Many
people also think that British people have afternoon tea every day at 4:00 p.m. This is
also not true! People sometimes have afternoon tea with sandwiches and sweet foods like
cakes, but only on special occasions.
B You also asked me about what food I like. My favorite dish from my country is called
Shepherd’s Pie. It is a hot dish made of meat and vegetables and potato, which is cooked
in the oven. It tastes really good. I usually eat it with a lot of fresh vegetables like peas or
cabbage, so it is quite a healthy dish. My mum usually cooks it for me and my brother
when we come home from university. I like to eat Shepherd’s Pie in the winter when it is
cold, because it makes me feel warm. My favorite sweet dish is apple pie which is baked.
Many people believe that British food is not so tasty, but I think we have some delicious
dishes.

Exercise 2: Read a magazine article about a city. Then complete the next exercise.
Madrid, the capital city of Spain, is a great place to visit. It is possible to see some of the
important places in one week, but it is better to stay for two weeks if you want to see al of
them. It is good to stay in hotel in the city center, because you be close to most places to
visit, but it can be expensive. The bus is slower than the train, but you will be able to see the
different parts of the city. There are a number of interesting museums and art galleries in
Madrid. The most famous museum is the Prado, which has many famous paintings. This
museum is close to a big, beautiful park with many trees and flowers, and a big lake, where
you can rent a boat. Many people like to walk or ride bicycles in the park.
There are many great places where visitors to Madrid can have lunch. Instead of going to a
restaurant, try the Mercado de San Miguel, a big indoor market with many types of tasty
12
7
Spanish food. Remember that Spanish people eat dinner later, between 9:00 p.m. and 10:00
p.m., so most restaurants will not be open between 5:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. Don’t wait until
you arrive at the airport to buy presents to take home. There are many good shops, and a
famous department store which is the best place to buy food, clothes and gifts.
Match the sentence halves. Read the magazine article again to help you.

Exercise 4: Read the texts about different cities. Then complete the exercise.
A. Joel from London
There are so many different activities to do in London that you will never get bored. My
favorite thing about London is probably the choice of food. You can find everything from
Italian to Iranian food! A lot of people think that it is expensive to eat in London, but it
depends where you go to eat. There are plenty of good markets that sell excellent and cheap
food. The worst thing about living in London is definitely all the cars. I never drive there
because it is too dangerous.
B. Alice from Birmingham
Many people say that Birmingham is not a beautiful city, but I don’t think this is true at all.
There are some lovely parks and green areas, especially around the university. Birmingham is
also a great city for eating and shopping and it is much cheaper to live there than in London,
where I lived for two years. The thing I dislike about living in Birmingham is the pollution, the
dirty air. It is worse now than it was in the past because of all the cars.
C. David from Cardiff

Cardiff is quite a small city, but there are a lot of interesting museums and art galleries to visit.
It is also a really good place for watching sports games like football and rugby. Because
Cardiff is not a very big city, a lot of visitors find that people are very friendly and will always
help you to find your way around. The worst thing about living in Cardiff is the weather. It
rains a lot in the winter.
D. Fiona from Edinburgh

Edinburgh is a nice city with beautiful old buildings. It is very good for food and
entertainment. Because it is a small city, you can walk to places easily and you do not
normally need to use public transport. The worst thing about living in Edinburgh is that it can
12

Exercise 5: Read the newspaper article about cycling in cities. Then complete the exercise.
Today, many large cities around the world have too many cars on their roads. This is bad for
cities, because it takes people a long time to travel to work, and there are many more car
accidents. However, the biggest problem with cars is that there is lot of pollution in cities.
This is bad for people’s health. One way to stop this problem is for people to leave their cars
at home and use public transport, for example buses and trains. Many cities like London and
Paris now have a new cleaner way for people to travel. They can rent bicycles to travel
around the city. It is a healthy and cheap way to travel, and many people now prefer to use
bicycles for short journeys.
In London, there are special stations to rent bicycles. People take a bicycle from one station
and return it to a different station later in the day. It costs £2.00 to rent a bicycle for 30
minutes, £3.00 for one hour, and £5.00 for two hours. There are many different bicycle
13
0
stations around the city. Most of the stations are in the city center, but there are also some
stations in areas where people live and near places like parks and museums. The most
popular time for people to use these bicycles is at the weekend, but many people also use the
bicycles to travel to work in the mornings on weekdays. In Paris, people can rent bicycles in
the same way as they can in London, but Paris has more bicycle stations than London.
There are many cities around the world where people can rent bicycles in this way. The first
bicycle stations were in Amsterdam in the Netherlands, while Hangzhou is the first city in
China to build a set of bicycle stations. Copenhagen in Denmark has the most modern
bicycles. The bicycles there have computer screens which give people directions to different
places in the city. Copenhagen is a very good city for riding bicycles. There is a lot of space
for people to cycle on the roads, and there are even some special traffic lights for bicycles. It
is not surprising that more people travel by bicycle in Copenhagen than by car. In the future,
it is likely that people will be able to rent bicycles in many more cities around the world.
This means that there will be fewer cars and less pollution.
Riding bicycles is not only a good way to stop pollution. Many people say that they
also feel happier when they ride a bicycle than they do when they drive a car, or take
a bus or train. This is because they feel healthier, have more energy and can also
save money. More people now travel to work by bicycle in many cities than before
and people are more likely to go shopping in areas of the city that are close to bicycle
stations. The areas close to bicycle stations are even becoming popular places for
people to live.
Choose the correct answers. Read the newspaper article again to help you.
1 The most important problem with cars in cities is longer travel times/ more car
accidents/ more
pollution.
2 To rent a bicycle in London for one-hour costs £2.00/ £3.00/ £ 4.00

Exercise 8: Choose the correct words to complete the paragraph.

There were some big/ bigger/biggest changes to New City between 2007 and 2017.
Perhaps the most important change is that there are now a lot/ more/ most types of
transport. There is a new bus station and an airport. The buildings are also much tall/
taller/ tallest than they were in 2007. There are many new modern apartment buildings
and the new hospital is much modern/ more modern/ most modern than the old one. In
2007, the river was quiet/ quiter/ quietest than it is now. There were not a lot of/ the
13

most/ most shops and restaurants. Now there are more shops and restaurants and the
area is much busy/ busier/ busiest than it was before. Most people who live in New City
think that it is a good/ bettter/ best place to live now than it was in 2007.
Exercise 9: Put the description of two maps of a city in 2007 and 2017 in the correct order.
Firstly, there are more types of transport than in the past. In 2007, New City had just
one train station in the west of the city. The city now has an airport in the east and a
bus station in the south west. In addition, people can rent bicycles in several areas of
the city center.
Secondly, the buildings in New City are very different today. In 2007, most people
lived in houses. Now, there are new apartment buildings. There is a bigger, more
modern hospital, and there are many more shops and restaurant, including a large new
shopping center in the east of the city.
It is an attractive city with a river and several green areas. The main center is opposite a
large park.
The two biggest changes to New City that we can see are the different types of public
transport and buildings.
The two maps how some of the main changes to a city between 2007 and 2017. The
name of the city is New City.

James, 23. The best part of my job is the children. They say so many busy/ clever/ easy things
and know so much already. I often feel like I can see them learning. It is important to be very
boring/ difficult/ kind to do this job and not to get angry. And, of course, you need to be able to
talk in a way that young people can understand. I work very clever/ easy/ hard and I often
have to take work home at the weekends and in the holidays. But it is worth it at the end of the
school term, when the children tell me how much they enjoyed being in my class.
Isabelle, 34. The part of my job that I enjoy the most is meeting new people and finding out
about their health. Speaking to people is very awful/ busy/ important in my job, because I need
to be able to explain things clearly to sick people and their families. This can be a clever/
difficult/ friendly job. When I first started working in the hospital, I was worried that I
wouldn’t be able to take care of everyone, especially when the hospital was very busy/
interesting/ kind, but the other staff were very helpful, and I really enjoy working there now.
Gary, 28. The best part of my job is that I can spend so much time doing a sport I enjoy and
get paid for it. I also have the chance to travel around the world and it’s great that I can get to
meet so many easy/ favorite/ interesting people. I love talking to fans and taking photographs
with them. Of course, the job is not always fun. It makes me very tired and it can be very
difficult, especially on the days when I don’t play well. I have to play the best I can at all times
and that isn’t always easy/ kind/ popular.
Sarah, 19. My favorite part of the job is talking to people and helping them to decide what to

buy. I prefer my job when the shop is busy and there are a lot of people to help. It can be a
bit boring/ busy/ interesting when the shop is really quiet. I like making the clothes look nice
so that customers will want to buy them. I also enjoy seeing the new clothes before anyone
else and wearing the latest fashions. Of course, there are some difficult people, but most of
them are really nice and awful/ favorite/ friendly.

Exercise 4. Read about subjects that are taught in schools
Most students learn subjects like English, Maths, Science and Geography at school. However,
some people don’t think that these subjects are so useful for students. They think that these
subjects will not help students to get a job later, after they leave school. So, some schools have
started to teach new subjects to their students, which they think will be more useful to them in
the future.
Some schools want their students to study subjects which they think will be more helpful for
them to get a job in the future. One school in the United States has decided to teach their
students how to do different things using computers. Their students are learning how to write
computer programs and how to design mobile phone apps. Their students enjoy these new
subjects, and would like to have more lessons to improve their computer skills.
Other schools want their students to learn more daily life skills. A school in the UK is teaching
15
1
their students about what they should eat to stay healthy and how to cook healthy meals. In the
past, most children learnt how to cook at school, but today, many schools have stopped
teaching cooking, so that they can spend more time on subjects like Science and Maths.
However, this UK school teaches cooking as well as other skills such as how to save money.
Finally, learning how to speak and write well is very important for both work and family life.
Some people think that children do not learn these skills properly in school, because they
spend so much time studying for tests. Therefore, a school in Singapore has started teaching
their students how to speak and write well, and how to speak in a good way to young people
and adults.

Exercise 5. Read the essay about tests in school. Label the paragraphs with the correct
phrases from the box.
Agree with the title Disagree with the title

Introduction of the topic Summary of the main points
These days, children do too many tests at school

_____________________
Every year, many students do tests at school. These tests are important because they show that
children understand their school subjects, but some people think that it is not good for children to
take too many tests. I think there are advantages and disadvantages to talking tests.
_____________________
15
2
Some people think that children do too much tests at school. They think that children spend too
much time studying for tests and this makes children bored of the subject. For example, if
students spend a lot of time studying for English tests, this might make them think that learning
English is boring. Children may also feel worried about taking tests. If they fail the test they
might think that they are not good at learning.
_____________________
However, other people think that it is important for children to take a lot of test. They think that
tests can help teachers see if children understand the subjects. They also think that teachers can
make tests fun for their students by playing games to help them prepare. These people think that
if children have a test they will pay more attention to their lessons and they will do more work at
home and at a school.
_____________________
It is important for children to do tests in school because teachers need to know that their students
understand the subject. Doing tests also helps children to pay attention in class and spend their
time well. However, schools should not give too many tests to their students, because this will
make children feel bored.

A Introduction
The new year is the most popular time for many people to think about what they eat and to try to
be healthier. However, it is not always easy to change what you eat and many people give up
their healthy diet after just a few weeks. Only a small number of people manage to lose weight.
Here is some advice to help you continue your diet, and to feel healthier and happier.
B Healthy snacks
17
2
Most of us get hungry in between meals, especially after a busy day at work or college. A lot of
people will eat the first thing they can find and this is often something not so healthy, like a bar
of chocolate or some biscuits. To avoid eating these unhealthy snacks, cut up some fresh fruit
and vegetables and keep them in the fridge for when you are feeling hungry. Dried fruit and nuts
are also healthy snacks and will hopefully stop you from eating chocolate or biscuits when you
feel like eating something sweet. Many people enjoy drinking tea or coffee with sugar, even in
the evenings before they go to bed. Try to drink herbal teas, which are healthier and which will
help you to sleep better at night.
C Eating in restaurants
Many people think that if they are following a healthy diet, they shouldn’t go out for dinner.
However, it is possible to eat healthy food in a restaurant. When you get the menu, look for
healthy dishes which come with a lot of vegetables. If you are not sure how healthy a dish is, you
can always ask the waiter to help you to choose something. You should also try not to order
dessert, or choose something healthy, like fruit. Finally, drink water with your meal. Fizzy drinks
and juices contain a lot of sugar.
D Cooking at home
It is good to cook at home when you are following a healthy diet, because then you will
know exactly what you are eating. Avoid buying ready-made meals, because they usually
have a lot of salt and sugar. You can make your cooking healthier by using less sugar, oil
and salt. Instead, use herbs and spices to give your dishes more flavor. When you cook
meat or fish, try to grill or boil it rather than frying. Always include plenty of fresh,
steamed or boiled green vegetables as part of your meal. You may find it useful to buy a
cookery book of healthy recipes, or to look up healthy recipes online. Finally, remember
it’s better to avoid having a second serving. If you still have food left, save it for the next
day!

Exercise 4: Read Luke’s email to his friend, Andrew. Then complete the exercise.
Dear Andrew,
Happy New Year! I hope that you enjoyed the party you told me about in your last email. Do
you have any good plans for the new year? I have decided that I am going to be much healthier
this year. Last year, I had a lot of exams, so I didn’t do very much exercise, and I ate too much
chocolate and too many biscuits. This year, I want to follow a healthy diet and to do more
exercise.
I joined a gym last week. It’s in a nice new sports center, which has a swimming pool and
different rooms with a variety of exercise classes. I tried the yoga class last week and I really
enjoyed it. I am going to go to a class once a week, and to the gym twice a week. I think that
this will help me to get fit very quickly. I have also started to walk to college instead of taking
the bus. When I go to the library, I go by bike because it is quite far. I feel much better and
less tired if I walk or cycle.
I have started to cook more meals at home. I have found some good healthy recipes on the
internet. Last night, I cooked baked fish with steamed vegetables. It was delicious, and I didn’t
feel hungry at all afterwards. I have also decided not to eat junk food like chocolate and crisps
for one month. I take dried fruit and nuts to college with me as a snack, and I eat fruit or
yoghurt in the afternoon instead of biscuits or cake. The next time I see you, I promise to cook
you something healthy.

Exercise 5: Read an essay about young people’s lifestyles. Then complete the exercise.
How healthy are young people’s lifestyles today? What can they do to be healthier?
Today, many young people have busy lives at school and at home. Most teenagers today spend
less time doing sports and activities outside, and eat more unhealthy food than they did in the
past. Some people today are worried that young people do not have healthy lifestyles. In this
essay, I will explain two problems with young people’s lifestyles today and suggest some ways
to improve their health.
The first problem with young people’s lifestyles is that they spend a lot of time indoors. In the
past, young people spent more time outside, doing activities such as riding bicycles and playing
sports. Today, however, many young people have to do a lot more work at school and homework
at home. Furthermore, young people now prefer to spend their free time watching television or
sitting in front of their computer screens. This means that they get less exercise, and spend less
time outside. I think this is a problem, because exercise is good for both the body and the mind.
Young people will not only feel healthier if they do regular exercise, they will also feel happier
and more relaxed. Therefore, I think that young people should have the chance to do a variety of
different kinds of exercise at school and in their free time.
17
6
The second problem is that many young people eat less healthy food than they did in the past.
Instead of eating healthy food cooked at home, many teenagers now prefer to eat fast food, such
as burgers, kebabs and pizzas. Also, fizzy drinks with lots of sugar, such as cola, have become
very popular and many young people have these drinks instead of drinking water. This is a
problem because if people have bad eating habits when they are young, they are more likely to
eat unhealthy food as adults. In my opinion, parents need to make sure that their children don’t
eat fast food or drink fizzy drinks with lots of sugar too often and also need to teach them how to
cook healthy meals. They should also make sure their children eat plenty of fresh fruit and
vegetables, and that they don’t eat too much sugar and salt.
In conclusion, young people today do less exercise and eat less healthy food than their parents
did in the past. This is a problem because if teenagers develop unhealthy habits when they are
young, they will find it difficult to stop the bad habits when they are adults. I think that it is
important for young people and their parents to make sure that they eat healthy food and do
enough exercise.

any people say that they don’t have time to exercise, because they are too busy with work,
college or school.
For example, if you play a game of volleyball once a week or go for a run together, you
will improve your health, and make ne friends.
For example, you could walk u the stairs instead of taking the lift, and make sure that
you go for a walk during you breaks.
This may take a little bit longer, but you will feel healthier and you will have more
energy if you do this every day.
However, there are many ways that we can keep fit for free and without taking time out
of our busy days.
Finally, you could try a new sport with your colleagues or classmates.
Secondly, you can be more active while you are at work or college.
Firstly, if you have to make a short journey by bus or car every day, you could try
walking or cycling instead.

Liberty. This morning, we went to the zoo in Central Park. It’s quite small and doesn’t have
many big animals. There are no lions, tigers or elephants, but it’s really beautiful and has
really good views of Manhattan.

Hi, Sara!
I’ve just gone online and read your email. Thanks! It was good to hear from you. Your first

I’ve never visited New York City. I’ve usually spent time further north in some towns on a big
river near Canada. I’ve also sailed in a small boat across one of the Great Lakes into Canada.
That was really exciting.
I’ve seen TV programs about Central Park, but I didn’t know there was a zoo in the park. I’ve
also seen lots of photos of the Statue of Liberty and I’ve read a lot about its history as well. I
think it was a present to the American people from France. Am I right?
Have you eaten many American beef burgers yet and have you drunk any real cola? I think
they are both so much better than what we can buy here. Or am I dreaming?

Would you like your son or daughter to speak another language? At Languages for Kids we
offer classes on Saturday mornings in French and Spanish, and in Chinese and Japanese on
Saturday afternoons. The classes are taught by qualified teachers who are first language
speakers. The lessons are fun and enjoyable for children. There are no grammar exercises, but
there are a lot of chances for children to speak the language. They play games, sing songs and
even try food from the country of the language they are learning.
We have classes for children between the ages of 4 and 11. The morning classes start at 10:00
a.m. and finish at 1:00 p.m., and the afternoon classes start at 1:00 p.m. and finish at 5:00 p.m.
Every week the children will do some homework to help them to practise the language they
are learning. It is not difficult and it will not take more than half an hour. At the end of the
year, we will write a report for each child to let you know how much they have improved in
their language. If you would like to find out more information, please go to our website.

Wanted: Italian language exchange partner!
Hello, my name is John Armstrong. I am a second-year student studying Law and Italian here

for an Italian student who would like to meet me for a language exchange to help me improve

my Italian. I have been to Italy many times with my family on holiday, so I know quite a lot
of Italian, but I would like to practise speaking with an Italian person. Also, I think that I am
going to make a lot of mistakes in Italian when I study abroad, so I would like somebody to
help me to study Italian grammar. I am also not good at writing in Italian, so I would like
somebody to look at my essays.
At the moment I take Italian classes on Thursday evenings. I am going to download an app
for learning Italian, but I think that I need some more help. I am free on Monday or
Wednesday afternoons. We could either meet at my house, or in the café next to the library. If
you would like to meet me, please send me an email.

Exercise 4. Read a review of a new app for learning a language. Complete the
summary with the correct answers.
Language Master is the lastest mobile phone app to help you learn a new language.
When you download the app, you can learn new words in the language, do quizzes,
play games and translate words. Language Master is available in 20 different
languages, and 30 countries. I am studying French at school, and have an important
exam at the end of this term, so I decided to try Language Master for one month to see
if I would help me to improve French.
I found the app very useful for learning about grammar rules. The quizzes helped me to
use grammar correctly, and if I made a mistake, it told me why it was wrong and what I
needed to do correct it. I also leant a lot of new words in French. The games were very
good for practicing new vocabulary, and they stopped me from getting bored.
The app was very easy to use and I enjoyed using new phone to practice French. I used
it a lot on the bus on my way home, and in the library at school. It was much better
than studying with a book, because I didn’t need to take a lot of books to school every
day. The only bad thing about the app is that it is quite expensive. It costs, £ 7.00,
which might be difficult for some people to spend. I think that it í a very useful way to
learn languages, and I have told my friends to download it.

Exercise 5. Read the article about learning languages. Choose the correct answers.
Today, there are so many ways to learn a new language. People can take language
courses at school or college, in the evenings, in another country, online, or even using
apps on their phone. However, many adults still find it difficult and so there are
advantages to learning a new language as a young child.
Young children learn new languages faster than teenagers and adults. This is because
they haven’t spoken their first language for a very long time, so their brains are still
‘ready’ to learn languages. If children hear people speaking another language, they will
quickly learn how to speak it. Of course, the best way for children to learn a new
language is to move to a country where people speak the language. If this is not
possible, parents could send their children to a school that teaches some lessons in
another language. Younger children may also enjoy watching cartoons or reading
storybooks with pictures. This will help them to learn new words.

Teenagers can learn new languages easily if they are interested in the language and the
country where it is from. However, not all teenagers enjoy learning languages at
school, so it is important that they learn languages in interesting ways. For example,
they might enjoy watching films and television programmes, or reading books and
magazines. A new way to learn languages is through mobile phone apps, which
teenagers often enjoy, especially if they have a lot of games. Also, having a penfriend
helps teenagers to improve their writing, and going on a language exchange with their
school helps them to improve their speaking.
In conclusion, children, teenagers and adults learn languages differently, so they need
different ways to practise. It’s a good thing for people to learn to speak another
language when they are young. It can help them to get better grades at school and it can
be useful when they visit another country. However, the most important advantage is
that it is easier to learn a language as a child than it is as an adult.

Can you help me to look online and find one?

Hi Tom,
I hope you’re well. I’m writitng this email on my new tablet. I ordered it online last

and send emails from anywhere. I can also watch videos and play games on it. I use it to
watch videos when I travel to and from college on the bus, and I play games online with
my friends evry night.

It is not only good for entertainment, though. I also use it to help me with my homework.
The online dictionary helps me when I’m writing essays, and I have downloaded some
useful apps to help me to
study better. I have even downloaded an app to help me study French. It includes games
for leaning new words in French, which I think will really help me, as I have a French
exam next month. After that I think I might download the app to learn Spanish.
My favorite thing about my new tablet is that I can make video calls to my friends and
family. Last night I talked to my cousins in Dubai for one hour. It is so much better than
talking on the phone, because I can see them and their house. Maybe I can make a video
call to you one day this week.
Look forward to seeing you soon.
Best whishes,

Exercise 3. Read the text and complete the summary. Use one word or a
number from the text in each gap.
A new study has found that young people are reading less than they did in the past. The
study asked young people to say how long they spend doing different activities, such as
reading books, watching television, playing computer games and surfing the internet.
Of these activities, playing computer games and surfing the internet were the most
popular. In contrast, the number of young people who said they like to read books fell
by nearly 50% between 2007 and 2017.
Some people are worried about the results of this study. They think that if young
people do not read books often, they will not be able to learn good reading and writing
skills. However, other people think that young people can use the internet to find out
new information on websites. They think that the internet can help them to improve
their reading skills, and to teach themselves new information.
Summary
The study found that young people are not __________ as much as they did before. They
prefer to spend time on other __________, such as surfing the internet. In fact, the
number of young people who said they enjoy reading books fell by almost __________
percent between 2007 and 2017. Some people worry that young people will not be good

Exercise 4. Read a review of a new mobile phone. Then complete the exercise.
The new Dragon 5 smartphone is going to be in the shops next week. It’s already for
sale online. It is much bigger than the Dragon 4. It has a 15 cm screen, so it better for
surfing the internet and watching videos than the Dragon 4. It is made of metal and
plastic, and the screen is made of extra strong glass, so it will not break easily.
Furthermore, you can still buy the Dragon 5, including the same games and maps as the
Dragon 4 and some new apps including study tools.. There are a lot of useful apps on
the Dragon 5, including the same games and maps as the Dragon 4 and some new apps
including study tools. You can take great photos with the new camera, and you can
make video calls to your friends and family. There is a lot more space to store photos,
music and videos than there was on the Dragon 4. However, there are two possible
problems with the Dragon 5. Firstly, some people think that it is a bit too heavy bit I
don’t think so. Secondly, it is more expensive than the Dragon 4, but again I think the
price will go down soon. To sum up, the Dragon 5 is a great new phone which is going
to be very popular. Make sure you buy one quickly before they sell out!
Choose the correct answers to complete the sentences.
1 You can buy a Dragon 5 Smartphone in shops now/ online now/ online from next week.
2 The Dragon 5 is bigger than/ smaller than/ the same size as the Dragon 4.
3 You can buy a Dragon 5 Smartphone in 2/ 3/ 5 different colors.
4 A new app for the Dragon 5 is games/ maps/ study tools.
5 The price of the Dragon 5 will go up/ go down/ stay the same.
6 In general, the writer thinks that the Dragon 5 is great/ too heavy/ too expensive.
Exercise 5. Read a report about how people keep in touch with their friends and
family. Then complete the exercise.
A These days, just as in the past, it is important for people to stay in contact with each
other. Nowadays, however, more young people are travelling to other countries to go on
22
6
holiday or to work or study and, of course, they want to keep in contact with their friends
and family. In this study, we spoke to three different groups of people. The first group
was aged 18–24, the second group was aged 25–39 and the third group was aged 40–60.
We asked the three age groups how they prefer to stay in contact with people. We asked
if they preferred to write letters, talk on the telephone, use email, send messages on social
networks or make video calls.
B The study showed that people in all three groups preferred to use the internet to stay in
contact with their friends and families. 70% of the 18–24 age group preferred to use text
messages to contact their friends and family, and 65% preferred to make video calls.
Similarly, 68% of the 25–39 age group preferred to send messages on social media and
62% preferred to send email. For the 40–60 age group, 72% preferred to send email, and
58% sent messages on social media. For many people the internet makes keeping in
contact much quicker and easier. It is also popular because it is even possible to see the
person you are talking to on a video call and to share photos and video files in just a few
seconds.
C The study also showed that making telephone calls and writing letters were less
popular with all age groups. Only 32% of all of the people in the study preferred to make
telephone calls and only 16% preferred to write letters. There are several possible reasons
why telephone calls and letters are less popular today than they were in the past. Firstly,
letters can take a long time to arrive, especially if you send them from abroad. Many
people want to communicate with their friends and family much more quickly than this.
Secondly, telephone calls can be expensive, especially if you make them to someone in
another country.
D In conclusion, the study showed that people of all ages prefer to use the internet or
their smartphones to keep in contact with their friends and families. Younger people
prefer to send messages using social networks, while older people prefer to use email. In
contrast making telephone calls and writing letters are now less popular for all age
groups. In the future, it is likely that people will continue to keep in contact with each
other online.
