Unit 1. Activities
1. Read the text. Then complete the sentences.
Hundreds of students in Australia live a long way from towns and they haven’t got schools near them. Where
do they study? At home, with their telephone and computer. Their teachers send schoolwork to them on the
Internet. Then the students work at home and e-mail the work to their teachers at school. Teachers sometimes
talk to their students on the telephone, too. Students learn maths, English, science, history, geography and
many other subjects. They’ve got a special “home teacher” to help them. This teacher is often their mother or
father.
Students rarely meet their teachers and other students. They travel to their school two or three times a year
for special programmes and exams. At Charleville School, for example, students usually go to school twice a
year. There’s a sports day and there’s an exam week at the end of the school year. During exam week,
students study together, and they eat and sleep at school. For these students, exam time is fun because they’re
with their friends.

Shopping at School __________________________
Moreton Hall School in Shropshire, England, is the only school in England with a shopping centre – the
Moreton Enterprises Shopping Mall. The shopping centre has got seven shops: a clothes shop, a shop for
sweets and drinks, a sports shop, a bookshop, a chemist’s, a coffee shop and a shop for school items. It has
also got a bank.

__________________________________________________________________________________________
There are 360 students at the school and 230 of the girls sleep there. The shopping centre is fantastic for
them because they can’t go shopping outside the school. About 60 girls from Year 12 are responsible for
everything at the shopping centre. They buy items for the shops and decide how much money to spend. The
girls usually work in the shops after their lessons.

These hard-working girls always use their time well. They plan their days so there is time to go to lessons,
study, work at the shopping centre and also to play music and do sport. For the girls at Moreton Hall, school
isn’t just a place to learn maths, English and other subjects. It’s a place to learn about life.

Unit 2. Activities
1 . Read the text. Then complete the sentences below.
Imagine a long queue at a market and you are standing at the end. The queue is moving very, very slowly.
How do you feel? Richard Larson, a psychology professor, studies the feelings of people in queues. Then, he
helps companies make their queues better. According to Larson, queues can make people feel very angry and
frustrated. But some queues are fun to wait in. One theme park has got computer games and video cameras
for people in the queue. There, waiting is enjoyable!
Larson says something else interesting: Information helps. Some places – banks or chemists, for example –
give numbers so clients know how many people are in front of them. Disneyland has got signs with the
waiting time for rides so people can choose to wait or leave. Sometimes a sign says there’s a 40-minute wait,
but the queue moves quickly and it’s only 30 minutes. The people in the queue feel lucky, not angry!

18. Read the article about a woman who works as a clown.
ROSE JOHNSON
I was eighteen when I left school and I knew exactly what I wanted to do: become a clown. So I moved to the
city and after some time started lessons at a clown school. At the same time, I worked as a waitress. Five
years have passed since I finished my clown classes. At first, I worked as a clown in the city where I was living.
I wasn’t a circus clown but a birthday clown. That’s a clown who goes to children’s birthday parties and makes
sure everyone has a good time. I didn’t earn much money but I enjoyed my work a lot. After a year I decided
to move back to the town I came from because I missed my mother, father and two sisters. There are no
other birthday clowns in my town so I am very busy. When I go to a party, I do magic tricks and make things
from balloons. The children love my balloon dogs and elephants. They are so excited when they see me
coming in my orange wig and big red nose. I think I have one of the best jobs in the world.
Are sentences 1-7 ‘Right’ (A) or ‘Wrong’ (B)? If there is not enough information, choose ‘Doesn’t say’ (C).
Example:
Rose was eighteen when she went to clown school.
A Right B Wrong C Doesn’t say
1 Rose comes from a city.
A Right B Wrong C Doesn’t say
2 Rose had a job when she was learning to be a clown.

3 Rose’s first job was as a circus clown.

4 All clowns earn very little money.

5 Rose lives with her parents.

6 Rose can make animals out of balloons.

Unit 3. Activities
1. Read the text.
Do you know the films Beverly Hills Chihuahua, Charlie’s Angels or Whip It? They are all films with the actress Drew Barrymore.
Drew was born in California, USA in 1975. She comes from a family of famous actors, including her grandfather John Barrymore and his wife Dolores Costello. Her parents were actors and some of her aunts and uncles were actors, too! With that family history, it was very natural for Drew to become an actress.
Drew’s first acting job was in 1976. She was 11 months old. At the age of four, Drew was in her first film, but she became famous at age seven. She was the young daughter Gertie in Steven Spielberg’s famous film E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial.
It wasn’t easy being a famous child, and Drew’s teen years were quite difficult. At 19, she fell in love and got married, but she got divorced the next month.
But that is all in the past. Today, Drew is an actress, a director and a producer. She’s got a Golden Globe Award and MTV Movie Awards. She’s got a film company, too. Drew Barrymore is happy.

Teen Freedom ______________________
Teenagers’ lives today are very different from teenagers’ lives in the past. To find out about those differences,
we talked to one of our readers, Steve, aged 14, and his father Joe, aged 45, about their childhoods.

Present
Steve: My school is near my house, but I don’t ride my bike there. My parents drive me to school. After
school, my friends sometimes visit me and we play video games. I also play football at the park with my
cousins at weekends, but only when my uncle can come with us. I sometimes go out to the shopping centre
on Saturday evening, but Mum and Dad ring me every hour on my mobile phone. They worry about me all the
time.

Past
Joe: My childhood was different from Steve’s childhood today. We didn’t have a car, so I walked or took a bus
to school. In the afternoon, my friends and I played football in the street. All my family lived in the same town,
so at weekends, I often rode my bike to my grandmother’s house. There weren’t any mobile phones then, so
my parents didn’t contact me at all. But when I didn’t come home in time for dinner, my father shouted at
me!
