CO NTRO VERSIA L CONSERVATION The lora turtle is a sea tu rtle th a t’s in danger - and one of the reasons is that people steal its eggs. A surprising solution is now being tried.

1 The beach at O stional in C osta Rica is one of only eight beaches that the lora tu rtle uses to build nests for its young. W hen the beach is full of turtles, it doesn’t just attract w ildlife lovers - it attracts people hoping to m ake m oney too. Turtle eggs are quite a popular food, and people pay quite a lot of cash for them because they believe that eating them helps people to have children.

2 A lthough international trade in tu rtle products is illegal, people can supply them to restaurants, and som e sell them illegally. On som e beaches, more than 80% of lora turtle nests don’t survive because of people. It w ould be disastrous for the tu rtle s if the problem got that bad at O stional, one of the m ost im portant of all their nesting sites. So the a uthorities there have taken the decision to allow people to help them selves to a lim ited am ount of eggs.

T he idea is that allow ing people to take som e of the eggs for part of the tim e will benefit both the turtles and needy unem ployed people. R odrigo M orera Avila, head biologist at the O stional C onservation Project, said: “T he com m un ity gets an incom e w hile bringing about social change. The project has tw o sides - that of conservation, and the social project.”

Som e people are not convinced, however, that the schem e will reduce the num ber of eggs that are taken by people from the beach. W hen the project began in S eptem ber 2013, people reported that they had seen egg collectors fill enorm ous sacks with eggs.

HOW ADE ADEPITAN FINALLY MADE HIS PARENTS PROUD Ade Adepitan is one of Britain’s best-know n Paralym pic athletes. To get anyw here in sport, however, he had to ignore his parents’ advice. His father, in particular, thought there was no future in d isability sport back in the 1980s. Ade recalls: “He was convinced I w as ruining my life.” It w asn’t the first tim e Ade had com e into conflict w ith his parents over the direction he chose to take. T hey didn’t even w ant the teenage Ade to begin using a w heelchair. “My parents thought me getting into a w he elch air w as like me giving up on walking,” says Ade. To Ade, however, the w heelchair represented a new freedom , not w orsening disability. “The disabled kids were c o o le r...th e y got up to crazy things. W e'd be out in the streets racing our chairs, playing basketball, travelling all over east London like a crew. It felt like I belonged. W e all had the sam e problem s.” Ade’s father disliked the idea of his son using a w he elch air so m uch that he threw it out. Ade retrieved it and hid it in the garden so that he could continue using it outside the house instead of the leg supports he’d had to use since getting the disease polio as a young child. Perhaps it’s not surprising how m uch Ade’s father tried to control his life when you consider the disappointm ents in his own life. He and his m other took Ade to London from N igeria w hen he was three because they thought a boy with polio w ould have a better life there. The move didn’t com e w ithout sacrifices. They had to leave Ade’s sister behind for several years and the Adepitans w ere unable to continue th eir

careers in the UK. Mr Adepitan found him self doing cleaning jobs. To him, academ ic success w as the key to a better life for Ade. Full parental acceptance of Ade’s life choices finally cam e after Ade m ade it to the Sydney Paralym pics as a m em ber of the British basketball team and his m other and father saw him in broadcasts of the opening cerem ony and com petition. “W hen I cam e back Dad w as crying and he gave me a big hug and he realised this is w hat I w anted to do. W e were frien ds again.” So w hat does Ade think w ould m ost Improve w he elch air users’ lives today? His answ er to that is a disabled a dvisor to the governm ent on public transport. “ I used to get the train to w ork and it was a nightm are - and I’m fit and strong and have good w heelchair skills. S om etim es I threw my chair onto the train. People w ould see a chair flying past them and me falling on the floor to get on. T hat should not be the way.”

HALF ROBOT, HALF HUM AN

All factories in the industrialised w orld now use m achines - but they cannot do everything. B usinesses that take old products apart, for exam ple, need hum an w orkers w ho can recognise w hich parts need to be separated from w hich. This type of w ork often involves lifting som e very heavy pieces, so can put workers in danger of developing health problem s or having quite serious accidents.

2 So could robotic suits be the answ er? H um an-shaped m achines that people can step into have already been developed to help elderly people w alk in Japan and for A m erican soldiers w ho have to carry big loads. Now researchers are designing sim ilar suits, known as ‘exoskeletons’, for industry. The European Union is paying for the R obo-m ate project, w hich involves researchers, car m anufacturers and car recycling businesses in seven countries. 3 As well as a see-through helm et and leg and arm pieces, exoskeleton designs often include a cam era on the chest to help m onitor q uality of w ork. S im pler exoskeletons could be useful for people w ho don’t have to lift anything heavy, but have to use th eir bodies in unnatural ways. Even holding or using a tool above your head for a few m inutes can put stress on your heart. 4 O f course, exoskeletons w ouldn’t take away all w ork-related aches and pains, and a lot of w ork rem ains to be done to m ake sure they can respond im m ediately to th eir w earers’ w ishes and don’t cause collisions.

ANN A FREUD M any

of the

descendants

of Sigm und

Freud -

perhaps

the

m ost fam ous

psychologist in history - have also found fam e through th eir w ork in Britain. His grandson Lucian, for exam ple, was a respected painter, and Lucian’s m ulti-talented brother C lem ent had successful careers as an author, a m em ber of parliam ent and a chef. C lem en t’s daughter, Em m a, has ensured the Freud nam e rem ains in the public eye through her w ork as a TV and radio presenter. O nly one Freud, however, follow ed closely in S igm und’s footsteps - his daughter Anna. A nna Freud trained as a teacher before setting up her own nursery school in London during the Second W orld War. The school w as as m uch a social service as a place of education - it provided a hom e for children w ho had been m ade hom eless in the bom bing of London. A nna realised that a lot of these children needed particular attention because th eir m others were busy doing jobs norm ally filled by men w ho w ere serving in the arm ed forces. By putting the children into groups of five or six and providing a teacher especially for each group, A nna created alternative fam ilies for her pupils. She understood the im portance of healthy relationships in early life for good m ental health in later childhood and adulthood. From the age of 13, A nna had regularly taken p art in discussions with her father on the type of therapy he developed, known as psychoanalysis. It’s even possible that he used her as a patient for practising his techniques. No doubt influenced by her fa th e r’s ideas, A nna believed in observing and docum enting every aspect of her pupils’ behaviour. She w anted to research norm al and abnorm al behaviour in children and also to study the effects of the w ar on them . H er w ork show ed how children’s play can reveal th eir em otional troubles. There w as one boy at the school, for exam ple, called Bertie, w hose father had been killed by a bom b dropped from a plane. Bertie built houses from paper and dropped toys on them again and again. In this gam e, the people in the houses always escaped unharm ed. A lthough Bertie m ade him self do this repeatedly, he didn’t enjoy it. A nna and her colleagues noticed that Bertie finally stopped re-creating the incident in w hich his father died w hen he got the chance to talk about it. By the tim e she died in 1982, A nna Freud’s w ork had strongly influenced the way m any im portant institutions treat children. H ospitals had extended visiting hours for children’s w ards in response to the kind of research she had done and co urts had begun to use screens and video cam eras to allow children to give evidence in a less frightening environm ent than a crim inal courtroom .

THE BUSINESS STUDENT W H O CO O KED UP SO M ETHING NEW

W hen M ichalis G kontas had to develop a business idea on his university course, he cam e up w ith a w ebsite for people w ho w ant to buy low-cost, highquality hom em ade m eals. The unusual thing about it is that the providers of the food are ordinary people. T hey m ay be people w ho co ok too m uch for their fam ilies and don’t w ant to w aste any food, people w ho need som e extra m oney or people w ho cook as a hobby.

2 C ookisto is now m uch more than a student project. W ithin a few m onths, 12,000 interested cooks, known as “C ookistas” registered on the site to sell th eir specialities. M any of them say it’s not just about money. One C ookista, w ho began cooking for cash after losing her job, said: “ Every day I feel proud helping others. And the best reward I can get is when people tell me how much they like my food.”

As with m any other online services, m aps are available to show users w hat is available locally and custom ers can decide w hich C ookista to use by looking at reviews w ritten by o the r users. C ookisto is less im personal than som e online services, though. The person w ho cooked your dish usually delivers it in person (and m ay include a free dessert!) It’s therefore not only business relationships that develop through it, but also a sense of com m unity.

Becoming a Cookisto customer, of course, involves trust. The website administrators do not check cleanliness standards in its cooks’ kitchens, or w hat ingredients they use. It’s not clear, then, whether Cookisto can work in places with very strict laws on the sale of food. Even so, Cookisto has already expanded beyond its home city of Athens to London, where it is likely to be popular with the city’s large student population.

MARIA’S RISE TO THE TOP W hen M aria Toorpakai W azir found herself playing squash on a co urt surrounded by gunm en to protect her, she knew she had to change her situation. The gunm en had been provided by the Pakistani Squash Federation, w hich had also set up a security base next to her house. The reason? A girl playing sp ort w ent against the cultural traditions of her area, w here it w as unusual for a girl even to w ear sports clothes. M aria had always enjoyed physical pursuits, no m atter how m uch she suffered because of them . In fact, she regularly got into fights as a little girl. “ My hands, elbows, knees w ere always bleeding. My eyebrows and face w ere always swollen,” says the 22-year-old. People expected boys, not girls, to behave the way M aria d id ...s o she presented herself as one. She cut her hair. She burned her fem inine clothes and began w earing her bro the r’s instead. W hen she was 12, M aria’s father decided to encourage her to use her energy in a positive way through sport. He arranged for her to train as a weightlifter, telling the coaches and other participants that she was a boy to avoid any em barrassm ent. W ithin a few m onths, she had won her first tournam ent. It w as again M aria’s father w ho got her interested in squash -

but only because

som ebody suggested she w ould grow fat and fail to get taller if she continued w eightlifting. Fortunately, M aria w as just as happy hitting balls as lifting w eights. “ I liked how the kids had so much determ ination, the beautiful racquets and balls, and the kit,” she says. M aria’s father enrolled her at a squash academ y run by the Pakistani A ir Force and once m ore they both pretended she w as m ale. Soon, however, the truth w as discovered - and the result was terrible verbal bullying. It didn’t affect M aria’s determ ination to succeed, however, and she often practised alone from m orning until evening. “ My hands were swollen, bruised and bleeding, but I still kept playing. I locked m yself away, trying to create my own shots.” M aria won several cham pionships for squash juniors and turned professional in 2006. Her success was noticed by the president of Pakistan, w ho gave her a special award. Of course, her growing fam e also attracted the attention of traditionalists w ho don’t believe Pakistani girls should com pete as sportspeople. At one point som eone put a note on M aria’s father car ordering him to stop her playing squash or face unpleasant ‘consequences’. To stay as safe as possible, M aria began to practise in her room - but caused herself so m any painful injuries that her concerned father decided the solution w as to move. M aria em ailed

THE ELEPHANT ORCHESTRA They say elephants never forget. Now w e’ve discovered a nother surprising skill that they possess - m usical ability.

Elephants in T hailand have been living closely w ith people for a long tim e. T h a t’s because Thai elephants used to be a key part of industries that involved transporting resources. W orking elephants are m uch less com m on in the 21st century - but that m eans few er people are taking responsibility for them .

As a result, a num ber of elephant sanctuaries have opened in Thailand. At one of the sanctuaries,

one of the co nservationists becam e convinced that

elephants enjoy listening to m usic and he began to w onder if they w ould enjoy playing m usic too. To answ er th a t question, he asked a New York-based scientist and m usician called David S oldier to create giant, super-strong m usical instrum ents especially for them .

David m anaged to m ake large m etal versions of traditional Thai instrum ents for the elephants - but he didn’t th ink it w ould be easy to get elephants to produce music. He said: “ I thought, ‘W e’re going to have to give them a banana every tim e they play a n o te ...’. It w as nothing like th a t at all. I w ould play the instrum ent, hand an elephant the stick and m aybe point. T h a t’s it. T hey were playing w ithin a few m inutes.” 4 No elephant is m ade to play music. Just as with people, how m uch elephants like m usic varies from individual to individual. A nother w ay they resem ble us is that they are highly social. Those that like playing m usic seem to p articularly enjoy doing it in a group. Som e elephants focus on particular instrum ents. One even becam e able to play three drum s at the sam e tim e and keep rhythm!

IN THE BROODING WILD Two m en occupied the back room of V ictor G agnon’s store. O ne w as the owner, w ho w as sm all and quick-thinking, and had an expression on his dark face indicating anger. He w as sitting by the fire holding his hands out to the w arm th. The other man w as beside the window. N am ed Jean, he w as incredibly tall and w earing grey w olfskin from head to foot. His w ide shoulders were broadened so much by the fur that he looked a giant. Below his long black hair, his face w as as som bre and strong as the w orld to w hich he belonged. The room was untidy. The bed stood at one end and the blankets on it looked as though they had not been straightened for w eeks. Victor w as looking down at a w ooden container w hich stood at the big m an's feet. ‘And w hy didn't she com e along with you?” “M aybe because she’s cleverer than any of us. M aybe because I didn’t w ant her to. There’s som ething we need to discuss, Victor.” The big man spoke quite calmly, but his calm ness had a dark quality. “C leverer indeed!” said Victor, ignoring the last part of the o th e r’s words. “That's w hat I said,” w ent on the giant. “ Davia reckoned it w asn’t safe to just disappear in case those guys discover th ey’ve been robbed of th eir goods. She’s staying around to put them off the trail. They all enjoy being with her and aren’t likely to suspect w ho ’s got the stuff w hile she’s around.” V ictor nodded and began to look less angry. He knew Davia w ould serve him well. “But that isn’t the only reason,” the big m an continued. “ I w anted her to stay. W e need to talk in private, V ictor G agnon. It’s nearly three years since you and Davia w ent into business together. You said you’d m arry her w hen you were independent of the company. You said it didn’t w ant m arried traders on its books. A nd you had no money. T h a t’s w hat you said. T hings are different now, so w hen are you going to m ake her your w ife?” “You're pretty rude,” said Victor, with an unpleasant laugh. “W e speak our m inds in these parts,” answ ered Jean. “ Davia is now as sick of your gam e as me. She didn’t go into it for an adventure, but to please you. I’ve been w atching you to m ake sure you treat her well. And th a t’s w hy I’ve done all your d irty w ork in this latest schem e. Now w e’ve got the stuff, you're going to do the right thing w ith Davia, o r - ” “O r w ha t? ” interrupted Victor. “O r you w on’t get one ce n t’s w orth of w h a t’s in this chest.”

A GROUNDBREAKING MUSICIAN G raduating from the Royal C ollege of M usic in London is an achievem ent for anyone - but N icholas M cC arthy needed som e extra determ ination to succeed there.

As som eone w ho w as born with only one arm , N icholas M cC arthy never saw him self as a piano player - until he saw a friend playing som e Beethoven when he w as 14. The beauty of the piece m ade such an im pression on him that he decided he w anted to becom e a pianist him self.

2 However, N icholas says nobody believed in him as much as he did. Even his headteacher failed to see his potential, telling him his d isability w ould always hold him back. Rather than taking his w ords to heart, N icholas becam e more determ ined to prove people wrong. He bought a cheap electronic keyboard and taught him self the basics with it before beginning actual piano lessons.

Even after he show ed such com m itm ent to the instrum ent, m usic schools failed to take him seriously. Eventually he stopped telling the schools about his d isability in his applications. T hat way, he could be judged on the q uality of his perform ance alone w hen invited to an audition. 4 His strategy paid off. T he talented teenager w on a place at the G uildhall School of Music, and then the Royal C ollege of M usic. He becam e the first one-handed pianist to graduate from that prestigious school in all its 130 years, focusing on pieces w ritten for one hand by com posers such as M aurice Ravel, Benjam in Britten and Sergei Prokofiev.

MESSALINA OFTHE SUBURBS No. 15 w as a narrow, high house with very steep stairs, but Elsie was fit enough to use them , although she com plained about the num ber of tim es she had to go up and down them . She, G eraldine and Mrs Palm er all kept num erous toiletries and items of clothing in the kitchen to save them selves from u nnecessary journeys. Elsie w ent dow nstairs once more, and sat at a co rn er of the new spaper-covered kitchen table to drink tea and eat bread and jam . “That's the doo rb ell!” Mrs Palm er lifted herself out of her chair, from w hich she had been reading the headlines in a new spaper and com m enting on them aloud with: “ Im agine!” and W hatever is the w orld com ing to?” “That'll be the W illiam ses, and about tim e too. You'll have to give me a hand to get the luggage upstairs later, Elsie, but I'll give them supper first.” S he w ent out into the hall, and Elsie heard the sounds of arrival, and her m oth er’s voice saying: “G ood evening. You've brought us som e w et weather, I'm afraid... You m ustn’t m ind me jo k in g ...” Elsie ran to the back kitchen, put on her w aterproof coat and hat and slipped out through the side door into a wet, cold autum n evening. “O o h!” She turned up the collar of the coat, and pushed her gloveless hands deep into her pockets as she hurried along the pavem ent. Every now and then a noisy tram m ade its w ay along the broad suburban road. O nly a few shops w ere lit. M ost of the

buildings on both sides were houses that displayed a sign or a card saying

“ Room s available” R ight at the end of the street were the blue-coloured lights of the Palace C inem a. “I th ou gh t you w eren't com ing,” said young R oberts with a frown. “ It’s long after eight.” “ I had to help mother, of course. And if you w ant to know, I ought to be there now.” She laughed up at him naughtily. “C om e on in,” he said, pulling her hand through his arm. In the past tw o years she had gradually discovered that she had a pow er over men that other girls e ither did not possess at all, or possessed in m uch sm aller am ounts. She did not know why boys so often w anted to go out w ith her. At first she had th ou gh t that she m ust be growing prettier, but her personal preference w as for dark eyes, a bright hair colour, and a slim, tall figure, and she honestly did not adm ire her own appearance.

FROM SMARTPHONES TO SMARTWATCHES In the 1940s, the police detective hero of the com ic strip Dick Tracy wore a w atch that allow ed him to speak to his colleagues - an idea that is finally becom ing a reality.

T~ The rise of the m obile phone m eans we need one of tw o things to stay in touch with people as much as m odern life dem ands - a pocket or a bag to keep our phone in .T h a t m ight not be the case for long, though. Technology m anufacturers believe that ‘w earable’ devices will be the next big thing. 2 | Up to now, several com panies have succeeded in creating w atches th a t act as m ini-com puters, allow ing the w earer to film videos and take pictures and also, by connecting w irelessly to the u ser’s phone or tablet PC, to preview text m essages and em ails sent to them . 3 | Those features may well be useful for a spy or fighter of crim e, but the full Dick Tracy experience, of course, requires a device that w orks through voice activation. T he first such ‘sm artw atch ’ finally w en t on sale in autum n 2013 nearly 70 years after the hero’s radio w atch first appeared. 4 | Not only m ight the technology free us to go out more often w itho ut bags and pockets, it m ight also revive interest in watches, w hich have fallen dram atically in popularity since people began using th e ir phones to check the time, especially am ong young people.

FRANKIE AND THE RECORD SELLERS W hat future do record shops have now that it’s becom e norm al for people to get their m usic in the form of M P3 dow nloads? M any m usicians w ho are trying to m ake a nam e for them selves don’t even try to sell th eir m usic; instead they m ake it available for free dow nloading in the hope that people will pay for fu rth e r music, or to see them live. Even som e established stars occasionally offer free songs to the Internet-using public to raise interest in th e ir work. Perhaps the record store still has a place in the 21st century, however, judging by the sto ry of ‘Frankie and the H eartstrings’. This band from S underland in north-east England, w ho have had only m inor com m ercial success, w anted to sell th eir m usic the traditional w ay w hen they released their second album . They liked the idea of encouraging younger people to understand the joy of ow ning m usic in a physical form , including appreciating the a rtw o rk on the cover. To th eir alarm , however, they realised there were very few m usic shops left in British high streets. T he ir solution w as to open th eir very own shop. Supported by local politicians in th eir hom e town, they took over a form er tourist inform ation centre and renam ed it Pop Rees. T he original intention w as to keep the shop open for just tw o w eeks to publicise the release of th e ir album , and also to draw attention to the disappearance of places w here you can buy m usic on vinyl records or in other physical form s.

T he store

becam e so popular, however, that It has becom e perm anent. In fact four of the five band m em bers w ork there full-tim e, on top of their m usic careers. W ithout Pop Rees, they adm it they w ould have to find w ork outside the m usic industry altogether. They lost th eir recording contract after th e ir second album failed to m ake the Top 40, and the only tim e th eir m usic brought them significant financial rewards w as w hen a pizza com pany used one of their songs in a TV ad. Even the m oney from that kept them going for only a year. M usic sales are not the basis of Pop Rees’ success. The band m em bers adm it they earn more m oney from selling coffee and other drinks at the store than music. W hat the shop responds to is a need for a venue w here recording artists and o the r artists from the region can share their w o rk with the public. C oncerts are held at the store regularly, and the w alls are decorated w ith w ork by photographers and other visual artists, again all local. The band’s singer, Frankie Francis, says young m usicians often ask if they can give a perform ance in the store after buying records there.

A TAXI DRIVER’S LIFE People don’t say a thing to each other on public tran spo rt - but inside a taxi th e y’re happy to reveal a lot to som eone they don’t know. T ha t’s som ething I’ve always found difficult to explain. Perhaps it’s because conversations on buses and trains feel more public.

Test 1 Exercise 1 (p. 4) Keith: I found this leaflet about a photography museum in the reception area of the hotel. You get a 10% discount if you show It at the ticket desk. Veronica: I didn't even know there was a photography museum. I didn't see it on the website I used to plan the Itinerary. There's just too much to do in this city. It's hard to make decisions! Keith: I know what you mean. Let's be honest, we're not going to want to do exactly the same things 24 hours a day while we're here. We should take turns deciding. Veronica: Why don't we do the things on the Itinerary together In the mornings, then go our separate ways in the afternoons If we want to? Then at dinner each night we can enjoy hearing about each other's experiences. Keith: Well that would give me the chance to do a boat tour of the canals. I know you don't like being on water. And I can't stand crowded shops, so if you want to buy souvenirs you can take your time while I'm on the boat. Veronica: OK. I admit that does make sense, provided you take lots of photos for me of the things you do on your ow n! Keith: No problem! But not while I'm on a bike if I hire one, of course! Veronica: That reminds me. I hope you'll still join me on the outdoor Ice rink near the big art gallery. I really want to experience that, but I haven't skated for years, so I may need a hand to hold! Keith: If you insist. Exercise 2 (p. 4) Speaker 1

Customer announcement. There will be no public swimming from 6 pm on Friday. This is because the pool is hosting the County Schools Swimming Championships. We apologise for any Inconvenience. All other pools in the county will be open for swimming as usual. Alternatively, why not come along and support our talented young swimmers? It's free to be a spectator, but you must reserve a seat at reception. Speaker 2

I started cycling to get fit about a year ago when a friend gave me an old mountain bike he didn't want any more. I didn't expect to enjoy cycling, but in fact it's great fun. Recently I decided to buy a new bike. It's a racing bike and much faster. I like to try to ride my favourite route in record time. I sometimes cycle to the shops now, too, Instead of driving. Speaker 3

Like all Ice hockey players, we need to put safety first before we even begin the season. You can buy gear for every part of the body, Including the neck, teeth and elbows. If you don't

want to buy everything that's available, it's still essential to get an Ice hockey helmet and gloves. If you want to play In goal, you should also get a mask. This is a dangerous sport. Unfortunately I've seen even players wearing masks suffer facial Injuries. Speaker 4

What can I say? It just wasn't my day. I gave it everything I had, but she was just too strong for me in the end. I didn't make many mistakes; she just played better than me. All I can do is try to learn from It. I'll watch it on video after I've got over the disappointment and think about that I can do better. I'm determined to be here again next year and go one better for these great fans. Exercise 3 (p. 5) Recording 1

Everyone sit at a computer, please. I'm going to help you to create an account on our system so that you can print your work and use the Internet while you're studying here. Does everybody see an Icon on their screen that looks like a book? Good. Click on that. That's right. Now complete the form and think of a password. Under name, you need to type your first name and your surname with no capital letters. Under start date, put today's date. Recording 2 Paula: What's wrong, Gary? Why are you crying? Gary: Don't worry, Paula. I just got a bit emotional because I

got some amazingly good news in a phone call just now. Paula: Is It about the job you wanted? Gary: I'm still waiting to hear about that. In fact, I've put it out of my mind. The interview didn't go well. No, the reason for my tears is that somebody's found my dog! Paula: Ben? I didn't think I'd see him again! Gary: Neither did I! He went missing two years ago. Recording 3

Visitors to a museum in Florida will soon be able to see gold coins from 18th-century Spain that were found off the state's coast. The coins were discovered by a family who were looking for treasure in the Atlantic Ocean. A number of ships sank in a hurricane in the area In 1715, and the coins were among the items lost. The family are celebrating because the museum will take only some of the treasure, which is worth $300,000. By law, they can keep a lot of It for themselves. Recording 4

Summer is here and if you want to enjoy the sun in style you've come to the right place. Throughout June, July and August, you can buy any pair of shorts and get another pair completely free of charge. If you need a pair of sunglasses for

Tom: Not any time soon, but because I have to go to

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Your attention, please. Tonight's performance begins in 15 minutes. Please finish any drinks before entering the auditorium as glasses and bottles are not allowed in. Please note that due to illness, Barbara Jones will not be performing this evening and the part of Rose Nyman will be played by Jennifer Robinson.

Germany so much, I've decided to do an evening course in German. I'm using this book to help me prepare for it. Faye: Surely everyone in Germany speaks English. I think you're wasting your money. Tom: You're wrong to say it's not worth doing. Even if I don't have to use my German much, it will help to build good relationships. Besides, learning languages is good for your brain in lots of ways. Recording 6

New Zealand may become the first country where people use personal flying machines. An inventor there has won permission to fly a one-person mini-plane for testing. He describes his vehicle as a motorbike for the sky, perhaps because it runs on petrol, but its maximum speed is 56 kilometres an hour. I can't see people flying themselves to work for many years, however, as you'll need around £175,000 to buy one. Search and rescue teams may have them before long, though.

When I was younger, I watched TV all night every night. Then I had to work abroad for a few months and I experienced life without a TV set. To my surprise, it was better! I read more, and downloaded radio programmes. I've realised that radio has a big advantage over TV - you can do other things while you enjoy it, like take a walk or do the housework. Speaker 3

I run a special kind of art gallery. All the art works are by contemporary artists, they're all for sale and all the artists have agreed to allow people to pay for the work they want to buy in instalments. The idea is to make original art easier to own. We also have a gift shop selling posters and smaller pieces of work than the ones on display in the gallery.

Exercise 1 (p. 16) Eve: Tony, I heard that somebody mugged you. How awful.

Speaker 4

How are you?

At school our art teacher asked us to choose one of our favourite photographs then use it to produce a pencil sketch or oil painting. I chose a picture of a mountain waterfall, and I discovered I'm pretty good at landscape painting. I'm now studying History of Art and I give drawing lessons to help pay for the course. I'd love to become a full-time artist, but it's hard to earn a living that way.

Tony: Not bad, thanks, although I still get anxious when I'm walking along quiet streets at night. Eve: I know what you mean. I was burgled once, and I couldn't relax fully in my house for months. So what exactly happened? Tony: I was in Green Road when I felt somebody grab my briefcase. It was really fast. I hardly saw the man. The case had my laptop in it, and thanks to that, the police got the criminal. I had installed some anti-theft software on it, which took photos of the man and emailed them to me! Eve: Wow! I must put something similar on my laptop. I often have to use it in public in my job. Anyway, I'm glad they found the thief. Have you been given the chance to meet him through the victims of crime scheme? Tony: The police offered to arrange a meeting, but I don't see the point of that idea. Eve: Well I found it very helpful after my burglary. Telling the burglar how scared and angry he made me feel helped me to get over it. You could ask the mugger why he did it. Tony: I already know that. He wanted money to buy a pair of designer jeans. He's made me frightened to walk through my

Hello, everyone. I have an exciting announcement to make. This summer the café will open on Sundays and we may open on Sundays permanently if it's successful. Don't worry - we won't expect anyone to work on Sundays. If necessary, we will advertise for new staff. But I wanted to give you all the option to volunteer yourselves first. There will be a higher rate of pay and you will get a day off for every Sunday you work. I'll email all the details and the deadline for responding to you.

Recording 2 Julie: Well one good thing has come out of this power cut. Ian: What do you mean? Julie: We've learned that we need to have a torch In the

house at all times and maybe candles and matches too. Ian: You're right. Hey, we should call Paul to tell him we're

going to be late - but I don't have his number in my phone. Julie: It's OK - I have it In mine. Oh! Can you believe it? My

battery Is dead. Ian: What bad luck we're having here. Recording 3

No man or woman Is strong enough to win a fight with a polar bear, but a Canadian man survived a bear attack thanks to his mobile phone. Garett Kolsun was walking through the town of Manitoba late one night when the bear chased him into a bakery doorway and hit him with Its paw. Garett took his phone out of his pocket, and, luckily for Garett, the light from the screen caused the bear to take a step back. That gave him just enough time to escape and run for help. Recording 4 Customer: Can you help me? I've lost my purse and the last

time I took it out of my handbag was 20 minutes ago when I was here. Has anybody found it? Worker: Just a moment... No, sorry. Nobody's handed any lost property to us this morning. Customer Oh no. There was £150 In It because I wanted to buy presents for all my family today. I hadn't even bought one! I suppose I should cancel my card. Can you do that for me? Worker: I'll give you the number you need to report it. If you need cash, you can withdraw some here if you bring your passport or driving licence. Recording 5

If you enjoyed playing 'City Wars', then you should avoid 'City Wars 2' unless you have a lot of time to spare - because It's even more addictive than the original game. Every aspect of the game has been Improved, from the sound effects to the number of options you have at every stage of the game. Judging by the quality of 'City Wars 2', I think we can definitely expect to see a 'City Wars 3' before long. Recording 6

Does your dog manage to destroy every toy you give It? Then you need the Flexo Ball. It's made from a special super-strong plastic that feels like rubber. Your pet will love chewing It, but w on't be able to bite Into it. We are so sure this is the strongest pet ball you can buy, if your dog manages to destroy a Flexo Ball we will replace it at no cost to you.

Test 3 Exercise 1 (p. 28) Grace: HI John. Can you check a piece of work for me? John: Sure, Grace. You've helped me in that way so many

times, it's high time I did the same for you! What Is It? Grace: It's a quiz I've prepared for new students to do at the end of their first morning. John: Oh, that will be useful. Is It to check that they understand the rules of the college? I don't think enough teachers have been doing that since I was made headteacher. Grace: It's partly about that, but also to help them get to know what's where on the campus. John: Sounds good. So you want me to try to complete It? Grace: I'm mainly concerned about spelling and grammar mistakes - I make too many of them - but that's a good idea. If it's too hard for you, then I need to make It easier. John: Let's see...Well I don't know the answer to number 4. How can you renew library loans when the library Is closed? Grace: You didn't know you can do that via your online account or the 24-hour phone line? Well, I'm keeping that question. It's useful to know that. John: Oh, I agree with you. It's my fault that I didn't know that. I think you've made a typing mistake In question 8. You've put only one 's' In the middle of the word accessories. Grace: No, I thought that was the right spelling. How embarrassing! Well this has been very helpful, thank you! Exercise 2 (p. 28) Speaker 1

I'm sure you've noticed that the adverts you see online these days are often personalised. If you've been looking at London hotel websites, you'll see adverts for London hotels. Many people feel that, on computers that are used by more than one person, this kind of advertising takes away privacy. If you agree, don't go away because shortly we're going to find out how to block personalised adverts from an Internet expert. Speaker 2

Advertising's not all bad. I think billboard posters really brighten up towns and cities. I don't know anything about art, but I think some of them are quite artistic. There's a billboard on my route to work that changes quite regularly, and I enjoy keeping an eye on It. It's Interesting that often the most visually interesting adverts are for products that appeal to the senses of smell or taste, like perfume or chocolate. Speaker 3

You can choose to Ignore most kinds of advertising. I hardly ever see TV ads now, for example, because most of the shows I watch are recorded and I skip the adverts. But there's one form of advertising that I can't avoid and I hate It. I subscribe to a magazine and every week it arrives full of loose adverts Inserted by the publisher. They fall over the

floor and it's so annoying. I would never use a company that advertises that way! They're not getting any of my cash! Speaker 4

There's a radio station in my city that plays exactly my kind of country music, but it's a commercial station and you hear four or five adverts after every few songs. The annoying thing is that you hear the same ads over and over again. It wouldn't be so bad If there was a variety of ads. Unfortunately it's the only station I can get that plays my favourite music.

Recording 5

This is a message for Mr Frobisher. My name's Gary Beckwith and I'm calling from JCM Media about your regular advert. We've really appreciated your business over the last few years, but we need to inform you of a 5% rise in our advertising rates from April. However, we are offering discounts to advertisers who place ads in more than one of our publications. Please call me If you'd like to discuss this. Recording 6 Kelly: John, what are you wearing? You can't wear those

We're now in George Turner's study. You're welcome to take pictures, but please don't touch anything. The room hasn't changed at all since it was decorated in 1902. Those pictures were chosen by Turner, and all the furniture is the actual furniture he used. Although the room was always known as the study, Turner didn't work here. He read a lot, and he used this room as a place where he could relax alone with his favourite authors. Recording 2 David: So what can I do for you? Bruce: Well, since it's summer, I'd like it to be shorter than

should read the letter about the new uniforms again. Your sweater is also the wrong colour. John: But my little sister is also wearing green. Kelly: Well, she's only 8. People In our year group have to wear grey. John: Thanks for telling me, but I don't know what to do. Kelly: Well, fortunately we have History with Mr Smith first today. He's very kind and understanding. Go home and change and I'll explain to him why you're late.

Ruth: Fred, have you ever had a problem with a flatmate? Fred: Apart from my parents, my wife is the only person I've

but I much prefer the way it looks that way.

shared a home with, so no. Ruth: Maybe you can still give me some advice. One of my flatmates never does any cleaning and is always the last person to pay her share of the bills. Last week I paid her share of the phone bill and she still hasn't paid me back. Fred: I think you shouldn't do anything in the flat that she should do. If she makes a mess, leave it. If she doesn't pay a bill, let the company stop your service until she does. People who behave badly only change when they see the results of their actions. Ruth: That makes sense. I think you're wise...but I can't relax In a dirty flat, not even for a week. It would be awful for me. Fred: Maybe you care too much about how your home looks, Ruth. Ruth: Maybe I should try to spend less money and see if I can afford to live alone. Fred: Hey, here's an idea. We have a spare room in our house and you'd be welcome to stay with us until you get your own place. Ruth: Thanks! Ask your wife what she thinks about that first, then I might think about that. Here's another idea. Come to the flat when my lazy flatmate is there and say how dirty it is. Someone needs to say it, but I want to stay friendly with her. Fred: All right.

David: And are you keeping the same style, then? Bruce: That was my plan. But while I was waiting, I saw a

style that I liked in one of your magazines. David: OK. Let me see it. Recording 3

If you've enjoyed your visit today and would like a souvenir, visit our gift shop on the first floor, where we have a range of posters, calendars, stationery, books and more. Don't leave it too late, though as the shop Is only open till 4 on Sundays. If you'd like to shop first and then enjoy the exhibition, you can leave your purchases and other bags in our lockers at reception. Recording 4

A weather alert has been Issued for Wales and south-west England for the next 12 hours. Heavy rain and winds of up to 100 miles per hour are expected to cause disruption to roads, railways and sea journeys. You're advised not to drive unless strictly necessary, and to contact public transport providers if you have a journey planned. The storm is expected to move into central and northern England in the early hours of tomorrow, but it should be much weaker by then.

Roger: Do you smell something, Beth? Beth: Oh, sorry about that, Roger. I tried a new type of

I have to be honest...I just don't feel comfortable in restaurants. I feel like I have to behave In a certain way, and I'm never sure what that is. In a restaurant I'm never sure what to do with my coat or which fork to use when. So I agree to eat out only on special occasions. I can go to a more Informal fast-food restaurant, but even there I can't fully relax and enjoy the food, because I don't like eating In front of people.

brown rice yesterday. It tasted good, but smelled terrible while it was cooking. It will go away In a day or two. Roger: Do you mind If I open a window? Beth: Go ahead, but don't forget to close It when you leave for work. I'm going shopping In five minutes. Roger: Don't worry. I'm a lot less forgetful about locking doors and closing windows since your brother's house was burgled.

Speaker 2

People say I'm very lucky because I get to go to all the best restaurants In town. You see, I work for a training company that holds courses here for people from all over the country. It's part of my job to entertain them In the evening. It's true, I get to eat beautiful meals that I don't pay for, but it can be hard work to keep everyone happy. Quite exhausting, actually! Speaker 3

We would like to thank all our guests who have chosen to stay with us at this difficult time. We regret to announce that the restaurant will remain closed until Saturday at the earliest because of the flood damage. For those who have already paid for meals, we can give you a full refund or deliver your meals to your room, as room service remains unaffected. Let us know your preference at reception. Speaker 4

Whenever I look at menus, I find It hard to make a decision. There's always so much choice. It's almost stressful! Then I always regret my choice when I see other people's meals. So that's why I came up with my idea for a restaurant where all the portions are small, but you're Invited to order three or four different dishes for each course. I've just heard I've won some funding and I'm really excited. Exercise 3 (p. 41) Recording 1

Welcome, everybody, to the South of France. My name is Keith and the first thing I want to say is don't worry If you were on the Manchester flight and your luggage didn't arrive. This has happened before and the bags arrived at the accommodation within a couple of days. In the meantime, I can direct you to an enormous supermarket. You'll have plenty of time to buy anything you need tonight, because we'll be at our seaside hotel within an hour. The roads are quiet tonight.

Hunting for bears Is legal for much of the year in Russia, which means many young bears lose their mothers. Those that survive often become circus or zoo animals. By making a donation to the Russian Bear Rescue charity, you can support Its work In rescuing motherless bears and helping them to become able to live in the wild. Help protect the Russian brown bear today. Recording 4 Customer: Excuse me. Assistant: Yes? Customer: I'd like to return this jacket, but there's nobody on

the customer services counter. Assistant: I'm sorry about that. That desk was only open at

lunchtime today because a couple of people are off sick. Customer: I see. Well can you take the jacket back and give me a refund? Assistant: Sorry, I'm quite new and I haven't been shown how to use the tills. I'm just keeping the displays tidy. But someone on the sales tills will be happy to help you. There's a big queue, unfortunately. Recording 5

Can I have your attention, everyone? You need to make a decision. I definitely gave the correct number of people to the walking tour company, but It's done something wrong and there Isn't enough space for us on the 11 am tour.

Test 5 Exercise 1 (p. 52) Amanda: Hi Ed. Why are you staring at that CD? Ed: It's a DVD and it w on't play. I can't find any scratches on

It, though. It's a mystery to me. Amanda: Maybe It's just dirty. Try using a clean, slightly wet

cloth on It. Ed: No, it's perfectly clean. Amanda: Maybe it's your player. Have you tried It on another machine? Ed: No, but I can't believe It's the player, because I bought that only a few months ago on the day you bought your MP3 player, remember? We got them both from the same shop. Let's try another disc In It...see - it's fine! Amanda: Where did you get the disc? I've never had any problems after renting them from the shop on Wilson Street. Ed: I can't even remember. Probably the market. I buy cheap ones there quite a lot and I hardly ever watch them straight away. Amanda: Well, you should see this as a lesson. Keep the receipts for when you buy DVDs from the market and as soon as you get home check that they work. I keep receipts for everything I buy until I'm sure I'm happy with the item. Ed: I only keep receipts for things that cost more than £10, but this was only £3. Amanda: What film Is It, anyway? Ed: It's a horror called 'Attack of the Wolves'. Amanda: Oh, I've seen it and It's terrible. You're not missing much. I suggest you hang it on your fruit trees to keep the birds away!

We have the best selection of lamps In town In the home department. To help you find the right lighting for your home, why not benefit from our free interior design consultation service? All you need to do Is bring in a photo of your living space. Speaker 4

First Impressions are very Important. Make sure your front door and the windows on the front of the house are clean and there are no dead flowers or plants outside the front door. Once they're Inside, viewers want to Imagine a brandnew start for themselves, not somebody else's home, so It's vital that every room is tidy. Put pets and children's toys out of sight. If you have bright-coloured walls, it's worth painting them cream or white. Exercise 3 (p. 53) Recording 1

Ladles and gentlemen, due to the short duration of today's flight, we w on't be offering you a full catering service.

Customer: I'd like to hire a car for the weekend, if possible. Assistant: So...you haven't made a booking online?

I've always lived In flats, but I would definitely choose to live In a house If possible. We have a balcony, but I'd much prefer a garden. I get fed up of hearing the neighbours' voices, footsteps, music and television. If I were rich, I'd buy a detached house with maximum privacy. Something else I'd like Is a separate dining room and kitchen. Our dining table Is in the kitchen and there's not much room.

Customer: No. Actually I made an online booking with another company, but I wasn't happy with the way they treated me when I went to pick up the car. They tried to charge me more than the price we agreed. Assistant: I can assure you we'd never do that sir. Now, because It's a holiday weekend, we only have small cars left. Customer: No problem. That's what I'd prefer.

Exercise 2 (p. 52)

Recording 3

A few years ago some neighbours who are good friends of mine built a conservatory on the back of their apartment. We often sit in It together to enjoy spring and summer evenings. It's wonderful to admire the garden and watch the birds. Even In wet weather, it's a nice place to be. I like the sound of rain on the roof. I really appreciate them sharing It with me. I can't get one because I live on the first floor.

You're going to be spending a lot of time sitting at a desk, so it's important to pay attention to your body to stay healthy. Everyone take one of these sheets then pass them on. You should sit with your arms and legs in the same positions as the man In the picture. Raise or lower your seat if necessary. On the other side are some exercises that are good for people who sit in one place for long periods of time.

Recording 4 M an: Hello. Paul's Pets. How can I help you? Woman: HI there. I'm looking for a brush for a dog with very

short hair. Can you tell me what you have? Man: Certainly. We sell brushes for dogs with all lengths of coat and for dogs with short hair, we recommend our rubber brushes. Woman: OK. So how much are they? M an: Let me check the shelves. Oh, you're out of luck. It seems we've sold our last rubber brush. We could order one for you... Woman: Thanks, but I want to get one today. Man: Well I shouldn't say this, but Dog Heaven on Dean Street has a great range of stuff. Recording 5

Are you fed up of working nine to five for someone else? Do you want to have the freedom to work as much or as little as you like, and set your own hours? Providing you have more than five years' experience as a motorist, you can become your own boss as a driving Instructor. Instructor Central runs courses all year round across the country. Go to ¡nstructorcentral.com to apply.

Kathy: Do you mind If I ask how much money you make? I teach the piano, and I've considered playing the keyboard on the street to make some extra cash. George: I make about £30 each afternoon I do It, but I give It all to charity. The reason I do this is to brighten people's days. Kathy: You should try the busy metro stations. George: I don't think so, because not everyone finds me funny, and when you're waiting for a train you can't escape the music! Exercise 2 (p. 64) Speaker 1

I'm lucky because my hobby is also my job. While I was at college, I made jewellery In my spare time. People really liked It and encouraged me to sell It at fairs. I was successful doing that and now I have my own shop and website. I never finished college, but it doesn't matter. Speaker 2

I have a job I do for love and a job I do for money. I give violin lessons and that's what I'd like to do full-time, but there just aren't enough people who want to learn to play It. So I work at least three days a week as a waiter in a museum café. It's not a bad place to work, I suppose.

Recording 6

There's much more to come after the news, Including a look at this week's new movies with our wonderful film critic Mark Fullerton. I w on't see him for a while after today, because he's off to Hollywood to report on this year's film awards, the lucky thing! And If you're a fan of Kate Ash, don't go anywhere, because we have an Interview with her plus the first play of her new song. I think It deserves to be a big hit. I'll be asking you what you think.

Speaker 3

I trained as a vet, which was very hard work. I found I always enjoyed the theory more than the practical side of the job, so Instead of becoming a vet, I became a trainer of vets at a university. There are always new things to learn In my job, because treatment methods and veterinary technology changes all the time. Speaker 4

Test 6 Exercise 1 (p. 64) Kathy: Excuse me? Aren't you the guy who plays the guitar

and sings really badly in public? George: That's me! It seems I've become a celebrity since I appeared on the local news on TV, even though they only broadcast two minutes of the interview I gave. Kathy: Oh, I never watch that. I heard you performing last week. I just had to stop and listen, it was so funny. In fact I asked to film you with my phone and you said yes, so I gave you £2. So how did you start doing this? George: A friend of mine held a birthday celebration in a Japanese restaurant where you sing during your meal, and I discovered I'm a terrible singer...but my singing made everyone laugh, so I was happy to entertain them! Then one of my friends said he would give me £50 If I performed for 15 minutes for people on the street. I agreed and borrowed a guitar, even though I've never had a music lesson In my life.

82

Although I don't have much work experience, both of the summer jobs I have done have taught me valuable skills for working in a busy store. When I picked raspberries on the farm last year, I got Involved in the sale of the berries, so I learned how to give good customer service. When I worked as a lifeguard at the beach this summer, I learned first-aid skills that could be useful at any time. Exercise 3 (p. 65) Recording 1

Before tomorrow's trip, I need to explain how you should dress. It's not just a historic site, It's still a very special place in the culture of this country. For that reason, women must cover their shoulders, arms and legs. Men should also wear long sleeves and trousers - wearing shorts is very disrespectful. Please remember to take off your hats and sunglasses when you enter the site and to remove your shoes.

Fiona: Happy birthday, John!

Fiona: Well you got me the perfect gift on my birthday with

Jonathan: There's no need to get upset, Marie. You should

be pleased you're so popular! And Joe always has great stories to tell. Marie: But Jonathan, he does this all the time. He doesn't respond to invitations until a few days before the event. By the time you hear from him, everything's been organised, so you have to make phone calls to try to re-arrange things. It's annoying.

John: Is It a box of my favourite chocolates? Oh! No, it's an

art set. Fiona: I know how much you enjoy drawing. John: That's great. Let me do a portrait of you to show my

appreciation. Recording 3

Jonathan: I see your point. Someone should say something

Thanks so much for giving up your time for us today. Hopefully you're going to help us to raise a lot of money to help some very sick people. As you can see, all the tables are ready and there's a box o f change and a price list on each one. The prices are flexible, though. If someone is interested in buying a lot of something, offer a discount. You can also lower your prices towards the end of the day if you still have a lot to sell. If you need to go to the toilet, remember to ask your neighbour to look after your table.

about it to him. Listen, I'm good friends with him. I'll tell him what you've said. Marie: In a nice way, I hope.

A woman from Kirkham has become the oldest person In the region by reaching her 104th birthday. Roberta Hewitt celebrated with her daughter Rosie Jackson, her son-in-law, four of her grandchildren and two of her great-grandchildren at the Rose Hill Care Home this afternoon. Rosie said that she thought her mother had lived so long because she's always kept as busy and active as possible. She added that Roberta is determined to make it to 105 - in order to receive a card from the Queen to add to the one she received on her hundredth birthday. Recording 5

Here we have the highlight of the whole of the house for many visitors. This is a room where many heads of government and heads of state were entertained. The fireplace was designed to impress and is still one of the largest mantelpieces In Britain. There's also a stunning view of the Japanese gardens from the windows to the left of the fireplace, so don't miss that.
