Five strange animals were sitting in front of him. The cub had never seen men before, and suddenly he felt very small.

One of them walked over to him. Then slowly, the man reached down to pick him up. The cub’s hair stood up on his back, and he showed his little teeth.

‘Look at his white fangs!’ the man laughed. The man’s hand came closer and closer. Then the cub suddenly bit him. The man hit him on the head, and the cub fell onto his side. Suddenly, the cub forgot about fighting. He sat up and cried.

Model dialogue

Xiaolu Guo (1973)

Alice Walker (1944)

Zadie Smith (1975)

Xiaolu Guo is a novelist and a film-maker. Born in China, she emigrated to England as a young adult and is now considered to be her generation’s voice of modern China. Her first novel, A Concise-English Dictionary for Lovers, was written in broken English and tells the story of how a foreigner is confused by different social rules and how she deals with loneliness and love.

Alice Walker is an African-American writer of novels, short stories and poetry.

Many of her books are about problems such as racism or sexism. Her most famous novel is The Color Purple. It won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1983. There is a film version of The Color Purple, directed by Steven Spielberg.

Zadie Smith is one of the most talented British writers of the moment. Her mother is from Jamaica and her father is English. Her first novel, White Teeth, is set in London and is about multiculturalism in the modern world. She finished it in her last year at university and it immediately became a best-seller.

She won several prizes for White Teeth and it was made into a TV series. She has written more books since then, including The Autograph Man, On Beauty and NW.

7 Why is it so popular?

The Boat Race A Every year, in spring, about 250,000 people go to the River Thames in London to watch the Boat Race. And another 28 million people around the world watch it on TV. The Boat Race is sometimes called the Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race, and it’s a rowing race between the universities of Oxford and Cambridge.

The rowers race from Putney Bridge to Mortlake. It’s a distance of 6.7 kilometres, and it takes between 16 and 18 minutes.

B There are eight rowers in each boat. They’re all big, heavy men who weigh between 95 and 110 kilos.

There’s also a cox in the boat, who doesn’t row. The cox has to be a very light person, so it’s often a woman.

She sits at the front of the boat and steers it. She also shouts at the rowers to make them row better and go faster. All the people in the rowing teams are students at the two universities.

Read the text again. Circle T (true), F (false) or DK (don’t know).

1 You can watch the Boat Race on the river in Oxford.

2 It happens in the summer.

3 A quarter of a million people go to the river to see it.

4 The rowers eat burgers before the race.

5 There are no women rowers.

6 You must be British to row in the Boat Race.

7 You don’t pay to watch the Boat Race.

C The rowers in the Oxford and Cambridge teams wear blue uniforms and they’re called Blues. The Cambridge team wear light blue and the Oxford team wear dark blue.

Cambridge supporters shout, ‘Come on the light blues!’

And Oxford supporters shout, ‘Come on the dark blues!’

D Although the Boat Race is a famous British sporting event, a lot of the rowers are not British. In 2010, for example, only six people in the two teams were British. The other 12 were American, German, Canadian, Irish and Dutch.

E Why are people interested in a race that is just 18 minutes long? People like it because it’s free. You don’t need a ticket and it’s a fun day out near the river. Before and after the race, people have picnics in the park. People also like it because it’s a very old tradition. The first Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race was on the Thames near Oxford in 1829.

WORLD WAR II EVACUEES

When Britain declared war on Germany in 1939, many women and children moved to the countryside. The British government ordered the evacuation to protect children from the bombs of Germany’s air force, the Luftwaffe. This evacuation was the biggest movement of people in British history.

The German Luftwaffe

Taking the train Hundreds of thousands of children left their homes in cities and went by train to stay in small towns and villages in the countryside.

The children often went with their teachers and wore the name of their destination on a sign around their neck. When they arrived in the towns or villages, they went to live with local families and they went to school there.

It was a journey that dramatically changed the lives of all the children.

Country life Many of the children used to live in cities and the evacuation gave them their first experience of rural life. They played in the woods, talked to the local people and learnt about life in the countryside. Some evacuees had very happy times with their host families and made new friends, but some didn’t settle down and were very homesick. In fact, the bombing didn’t begin until nearly a year later and some children returned home. When the bombing did begin, the children were evacuated again. About 3.5 million people experienced evacuation during the Second World War. Young evacuees on a station platform

T

he cub ran down to the river to drink early one morning. He was still sleepy, so at first he did not notice anything. Then, suddenly, he saw and smelled something strange.

Five strange animals were sitting in front of him. The cub had never seen men before, and suddenly he felt very small.

One of them walked over to him. Then slowly, the man reached down to pick him up. The cub’s hair stood up on his back, and he showed his little teeth.

‘Look at his white fangs!’ the man laughed. The man’s hand came closer and closer. Then the cub suddenly bit him. The man hit him on the head, and the cub fell onto his side. Suddenly, the cub forgot about fighting. He sat up and cried.

The four men laughed loudly. And the cub cried even more. But in the middle of his crying, he suddenly heard something. He gave one last cry. Then he stopped his noise and waited for his mother. His mother was fierce and powerful. She knew his cry, and she was coming to save him.

The men stepped back a little, and the female wolf growled fiercely.

‘Kiche!’ one of the men suddenly cried. ‘Kiche!’ And the wolf sank slowly to the ground.

The man came over to Kiche. He put his hand on her head.

She did not bite or growl.

‘She ran away a year ago, didn’t she, Gray Beaver?’ said one of the men.

‘Yes,’ Gray Beaver answered. ‘There was nothing to eat.’

‘She has lived with the wolves,’ another man said.

‘Her father was a wolf,’ said Gray Beaver. ‘And now she has a cub. His teeth are white, so I will call him White Fang.’

Model text The Giver The Giver is an enjoyable science fiction novel. It was written by Lois Lowry and was published in 1993.

By 1994, it had become an international bestseller. It is set in a future world where people’s lives are controlled by society. Everyone is happy and there is no pain, suffering or emotion.

The main character is a boy called Jonas. Jonas discovers that people are only happy because they don’t know about the real world. Then Jonas has to make a decision: stay and live without emotion or knowledge, or find a place where he can experience real life.

Famous Female Writers

Xiaolu Guo (1973)

Alice Walker (1944)

Zadie Smith (1975)

Xiaolu Guo is a novelist and a film-maker. Born in China, she emigrated to England as a young adult and is now considered to be her generation’s voice of modern China. Her first novel, A Concise-English Dictionary for Lovers, was written in broken English and tells the story of how a foreigner is confused by different social rules and how she deals with loneliness and love.

Alice Walker is an African-American writer of novels, short stories and poetry.

Many of her books are about problems such as racism or sexism. Her most famous novel is The Color Purple. It won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1983. There is a film version of The Color Purple, directed by Steven Spielberg.

Zadie Smith is one of the most talented British writers of the moment. Her mother is from Jamaica and her father is English. Her first novel, White Teeth, is set in London and is about multiculturalism in the modern world. She finished it in her last year at university and it immediately became a best-seller.

She won several prizes for White Teeth and it was made into a TV series. She has written more books since then, including The Autograph Man, On Beauty and NW.

IT’S THE NAME OF THE GAME The reporters from Teen Tech visited a house which proves that technology had been influencing our lives in a significant way. They hadn’t expected to find technology in the kitchen bin. At a first glance, it looked and smelled like a normal kitchen bin, but the bin they had been using was one with a difference.

Inside the lid, scientists had installed a smartphone camera. Every time you closed the lid, the camera took a photo of the rubbish that you had just thrown away. Then, an app on the smartphone uploaded the photos to a Facebook page. Other members, who had been doing the same thing, looked at your photos and posted comments about them.

This system, which had been making a difference, was called BinCam and its aim was to make people recycle more. Scientists had already tested BinCam with students at Newcastle University before creating a version for the wider population. Helen and Alice were two of the students who were happy to be part of the survey because they had been recycling for years. Since they started, they had reduced their rubbish dramatically. Helen said that they had become more careful about what they threw away because other people were watching. It had been like a game and they wanted to win and be the best at recycling! They admitted that they had lost points although they had been selecting their rubbish quite carefully. They were trying to look at each thing carefully, but they had thrown away recyclable items by accident once or twice.

The app gave weekly score for your rubbish and people competed with other households to be the greenest. BinCam’s inventors said that people were enjoying the game and that the competition made them more environmentally responsible. They said that BinCam showed how gamification and social media could influence people in a positive way. However, after they had released the app not everyone agreed. Critics said that BinCam was an invasion of privacy. Others thought that recycling was a serious issue, not a game.

What do you think? Would you like to have a BinCam in your kitchen?

Read or listen to the Model text and then answer the questions.

1 Why do people produce more rubbish now?

2 Why don’t people recycle?

3 Is recycling compulsory in all cities in Britain?

Model text Recycling should be compulsory. Do you agree?

At present, recycling is not obligatory in most countries. Consequently, many people do not recycle at all. In my opinion, compulsory recycling is better for the environment.

Firstly, people produce more rubbish now than in the past because we use more packaging. What’s more, most of this packaging is dangerous for wildlife. Secondly, many people don’t recycle because they are too lazy. In some British cities, recycling is compulsory. As a result, recycling has increased dramatically and local councils spend less on landfills. This experience has already demonstrated that obligatory recycling produces good results.

In conclusion, I believe compulsory recycling is better for the environment.

Furthermore, it is also cheaper for local councils.

Tips Linkers of addition and result • We use more packaging now. What’s more, most of this packaging is dangerous for wildlife.

What is Freecycle®?

The Freecycle Network is an online community where people give and get things for free. It is a non-profit group and it’s free to join. Its aim is for people to reuse things in order to reduce rubbish and improve the environment.

History On 1st May 2003, Deron Beal started The Freecycle Network in Tucson, Arizona (USA). Deron worked for a small recycling organization. They were often given unwanted items and Deron used to drive around the area offering them to local non-profit groups. He thought there had to be a better way of informing people what was available, so he set up the first e-mail group. Since then, it has spread to over 100 countries around the world. Today, there are thousands of groups and millions of members.

How to use Freecycle Find your local group online and join. Before buying anything new, check if anyone in the group wants to give away that item. Before you throw anything away, offer it to your Freecycle group. Post your offer or request online. Arrange with the other person when to collect it. It’s that simple!

Read or listen to the text and then answer the questions.

1 Do you have to pay to join Freecycle?

2 How long has the network existed?

3 How many members are there today?

4 Before you throw anything away, what should you do?

Read the text quickly. Put the pictures of shoes 1–6 in the order that they are mentioned in the text.

FASHIONABLE FEET Look at the people around you. Now look at their feet.

What type of shoes are they wearing? What do the shoes have in common? Are they the same colour? Are they the same material? Do they have the same design?

The basic design of shoes has not changed much since they were invented. Most shoes have a sole, a heel and an upper (the part that covers the foot).

However, creative designers have always found ways to make shoes look different.

Let’s start with heels. Italy is where designers created the famous stiletto in the 1950s, which has a thin, pointed heel. It is still a popular design. But heels don’t have to be thin to look different: an American designer once created huge heels filled with water and toy goldfish!

Designers do creative things with soles and uppers, too. For example, hiking boots with soles that have compartments that contain equipment for making fires – very practical for survival

2

upper

situations! A Czech designer made a pair of rectangular shoes in 2013 when she was a student.

They have big platform soles and tight uppers. The uppers are made from soft leather, so the shoes are very comfortable.

Perhaps you are looking for something sporty. How about some five-toe trainers? They look just like feet!

So, what shoe designs might be fashionable in a few years? Here are a few trends. Designers will use 3-D printers more and more to create and print 3-D shoes.

They can be very flexible, so you can fold them and put them in your pocket. Another company has made shoes that generate electricity while you walk. Soon, you might plug your phone into your shoe! Others are experimenting with social media and have designed trainers with a small screen and Wi-Fi internet so you will be able to tweet from your trainers!

Read and listen. Decide if the sentences are true or false. Correct the false sentences.

1 The basic design of shoes has changed a lot.

2 Stilettos aren’t very popular today.

3 You can put survival equipment in the heels of hiking boots.

4 The rectangular platform shoes have loose uppers.

5 The five-toe trainers look like human hands.

& DESIGNERS Famous

Stella McCartney is one of the most successful British designers of the last twenty years. She has designed clothes for pop singers and film stars. Her father is the musician, Sir Paul McCartney, who was in The Beatles.

Although she had a rich and famous dad, her parents wanted their children to have a normal childhood. Stella grew up on a small farm with her sisters and brother and they all went to the local school.

FASHION BEGINNINGS Stella became interested in fashion when she was a teenager. She started designing and making clothes at home and, after leaving school, she studied fashion in London. At her first fashion show her friends, including Naomi

Campbell and Kate Moss, modelled her clothes.

After the show, all her designs were bought by a shop in London. In 2001, she started her own business and today she has shops all over the world.

STAR DESIGNS Her designs are very varied. Some are glamorous, some are traditional and others are sporty. She also launched a children’s collection with Disney for the film Maleficent in 2014. But there is one thing the designs have in common: Stella is a strict vegetarian and none of her designs use leather or fur.

BEN SOUTHALL

Ben Southall (born in 1975) is a British adventure advocate.

A The BEST LIFE in the world If you work hard at something, the chances are you will become good at it. And if you have talent but don’t practise, you will never become the best. Ben Southall’s philosophy is ‘the harder you work, the luckier you get’ and if he didn’t show so much determination in everything he does, he would not be able to live such a fascinating life.

B Early life Ben’s sister, Becky, always got excellent grades at school, while he had to work hard just to pass. As a result, he felt he was an underachiever and even contemplated dropping out. In the end, Ben studied Automotive Systems at Kingston University and obtained his degree with the determination which characterizes his professional life.

C Professional life Ben’s ex-girlfriend arranged an interview to apply to be a summer Events Organizer. Ben was hired with an attractive salary and was soon promoted to Manager in South Africa. This was a good working experience and in some ways served as an apprenticeship for Ben’s later solo adventures. In 2008 he embarked on Afritex, a 65,000 km circumnavigation of Africa which included completing five marathons and climbing five mountain peaks.

D Back home, with no money or job in sight, Ben saw an advertisement for The best job in the world, as caretaker of a tropical island paradise. He applied and was chosen from 34,685 hopeful applicants. How did he do it? The answer was a video application and a three-month marketing campaign with TV interviews, media events and even jumping into the freezing cold River Thames.

E ‘Taking a dream and turning it into reality was something I’d become used to doing.’ Ben says, and he hasn’t stopped. First, The best expedition in the world, then a four-month 1,600 km kayak trip along the Great Barrier Reef and now The big adventure – a Land Rover expedition from Singapore to London which started in 2015.

Ben holds the unofficial world record for most interviews in 24 hours: 124!

I have some great news to tell you! I wanted to share a little about my summer job experience because, honestly, it turned out to be one of the best decisions I have ever made. At first, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to spend my summer working, but I decided to give it a shot – and I’m so glad I did!

I worked as a camp counselor, and it was one of the most rewarding (and exhausting!) experiences of my life. Every day was filled with laughter, games, and the occasional chaos of keeping up with a group of energetic kids.

I learned so much – how to be patient, how to think on my feet, and how to handle unexpected challenges like surprise rainstorms during outdoor activities. It wasn’t just about supervising; it was about connecting, leading, and making sure the children had a great time. Besides, I made some great friends. It was an unforgettable experience that taught me responsibility Writing task and teamwork in a whole new way. I am already looking forward to next summer!

Lots of love, Lucy

FAMOUS

FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS THE CITY OF LONDON The City of London is London’s financial district. If you visit the area, you’ll find all of the most important financial institutions, banks and large companies. It is also the oldest part of London and this is why it became the financial centre of the UK.

THE BANK OF ENGLAND The Bank of England opened in 1694, and it is one of the oldest banks in the world. Since 1734 the bank’s address has been Threadneedle Street – it doesn’t have a number, it’s too famous.

The main responsibility of the bank is to issue new coins and notes. It also guards the UK’s gold reserves. No one has ever robbed The Bank of England in real life, although it was robbed in a famous novel called Around the World in 80 Days!

THE ROYAL MINT The Bank of England does not make new coins and notes; this is the job of the Royal Mint. The first London Mint was started in 886 by King Alfred the Great. For many years the Mint was situated in the Tower of London and it became the Royal Mint in the 16th century. However, the Royal Mint is now in Wales, after moving from London in 1968. As well as manufacturing currency for the UK, the Royal Mint makes money for over 60 other countries.

I have to tell you about what happened last Saturday night.

I was walking home from a party with Anton. We were going down a dark street when we heard an alarm. Suddenly, we saw a shadowy figure climbing over a wall behind a supermarket.

The figure jumped down from the wall and ran towards us. It was a foggy night, but we could see that it was a man, probably in his thirties. He was quite small and he was wearing black clothes and carrying a big bag. If it hadn’t been so foggy, we would have seen him more clearly. He ran past us and disappeared into the night.

We thought he might be a thief, so I pulled out my phone and called the police to describe what we had seen. We suspect the man had committed a robbery in the supermarket.

Famous laws and lawmakers

King John ruled England from 1199 to 1216. He was an unpopular and incompetent king who demanded more and more taxes, imprisoned innocent people and took their land and money. The noblemen became very angry about the king’s behaviour and they wanted to limit his power and protect the rights and liberties of his subjects. Many people agreed with them, so they formed an army and forced the king to negotiate with them.

The result was Magna Carta, which was a list of laws that everyone had to obey, including the king. John signed it in 1215. He was furious, but if he had been a better king, the noblemen wouldn’t have become so strong. And if the noblemen hadn’t become so strong, John wouldn’t have had to agree to their demands.

Magna Carta became the basis of many laws in the following centuries. It reminded people that the king had to obey the law just like everyone else and that he had to rule with the agreement of his noblemen. King John died a year after signing Magna Carta but it was reissued and signed by other kings. It has influenced laws and lawmakers in both Britain and the USA.

OUR TOP THREE SPORTING MEMORIES EVENT: EuroBasket Women 2013, final PLACE: Pubeco Pévèle Arena, France

DATE: 30 June 2013

Spain’s national basketball teams are really strong at the moment.

The men are often ranked second in the world and, in 2013, the women beat France in the final of Eurobasket. It was a really close match. France were the favourites, but the final score was 70–69 to Spain. It was the first time Spain had won it since 1993. Spain’s top scorer was Alba Torrens with 21 points. The next EuroBasket Women will be held in Hungary and Romania. I’m hoping I can get tickets!

The final was played between Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic.

Nadal lost the first set 3–6, but won the next two sets 7–5 and 6–2.

The fourth set was delayed by rain. When play continued the next day, Nadal won the final set 6–4. He had won his 5th consecutive French Open and his 9th in total. He had also become the first man in history to win 10 Grand Slam titles in consecutive years. I’ll never forget the match – Rafa is a phenomenon!

In 2010, Spain were the best team in the world, but they had never won the World Cup. The final was played between Spain and the Netherlands in front of 84,490 fans. Spain were the better side but they just couldn’t score. After 90 minutes the score was 0–0, so the teams played extra time. There were still no goals. Then amazingly, Andres Iniesta scored in the 116th minute. I was so happy, I screamed!

FAMOUS SPORTING EVENTS The Grand National is a famous horse race. Many people believe it is the greatest – and the most dangerous – one in the world. It is held in April at Aintree, which is a racecourse near Liverpool in the UK.

EARLY RACES The Grand National has been held since the 1830s.

The first race was won by a horse called The Duke.

At first, it was a small, local event but when the railway to Liverpool was built in 1839, the race became ‘national’.

THE WINNERS The winner receives about £400,000, but riders don’t want to win it for the money. They dream about being part of the Grand National’s history. And their horse’s name will be remembered with other famous winners like Red Rum, which won the race a record three times – in 1973, 1974 and 1977.

THE RACE The race is 7,242 metres long. The horses have to jump over fences while they are running. Traditionally, these races were called steeplechases. Riders used to choose a church steeple* to race to. They rode fast across the countryside, jumping over fences. The winner was the first horse to the church.

Ruby Walsh is one of the best riders today. He won the Grand National in 2000 on his first ride. The win was even more incredible because he had broken his leg twice the year before! It just shows what you can achieve with hard work and determination.

THE COURSE The course is famous for its high fences, especially Becher’s Brook (1.47m high) and The Chair (1.57m high). In the past, many horses were injured jumping over the fences, but now they are less dangerous.

Pronunciation /ɑː/ /ɜː/ /iː/ /ɪ/ /æ/ /e/ a

* A steeple is the top part of a church tower.

/ɑː/ fast, part, past /ɜː/ first, work, worst /iː/ receive, dream, genius /ɪ/ history, win, will /æ/ national, match, fan /e/ held, record, red

Read and listen.

Then answer the questions.

2 Where is it held?

3 Which horse won the first race?

4 What are Becher’s Brook and The Chair?

5 Why do riders want to win the race?

THE STORY OF A YOUNG

TECH ENTREPRENEUR Imagine creating an app that became a global success. Then imagine that as a result, Facebook invited you to its annual conference for app developers and offered you a summer internship. Well, this is exactly what happened to Michael Sayman. And when he was just 17!

Michael, from Florida, learnt to write computer code at the age of 12 from watching online tutorials. At 13, he built a website with tips and tricks for playing Club Penguin, his favourite online game. The website was very popular, but he thought he would get more traffic if he built a mobile app version. He was right and the app became an instant hit. Michael’s next app – a game based on Club Penguin – was also very successful and his career as a tech entrepreneur had begun.

Just like any entrepreneur, Michael wanted to expand his business, so he created some new games. These didn’t do very well, but Michael didn’t give up and soon he had developed the concept for his next product: a multi-player photo game. He called it 4 Snaps because players choose a word and then take four pictures for their friends to

5 He was offered some work experience by Facebook.

guess it. He explained that he had had the idea while watching his sister playing on her phone. She was sending photos to a friend and asking her to guess the word. ‘I knew that I had to make an app about it,’ he says.

Michael launched the first version of 4 Snaps in May 2013. He spent the summer improving the design and solving some of its problems before relaunching it in August. It was a huge success and, before long, he received the invitation from Facebook. The rest, as they say, is history.

When asked about the future, Michael said that he was thinking about university but he also thought that working for a company like Facebook was definitely an option. ‘My goal is to try and make some kind of difference in the world with what I love to do,’ he says.

Facts Mark Zuckerberg is a computer programmer and tech entrepreneur. He is famous for being one of the founders of Facebook, the social networking site, which he developed when he was still at university.

1 In what other environments, besides schools, are robots commonly used?

2 Why can’t robots fully replace teachers or friends?

Model text Robots in schools: helpful or harmful?

Have you ever imagined having a robot as a teacher or classmate? With technology advancing so quickly, robots are becoming more common in schools and workplaces. While they sound like a cool idea, they come with both advantages and disadvantages.

One big advantage of robots in schools is that they can help students learn in new ways. They can explain things over and over without getting frustrated, which is great for students who need extra help. Robots can also handle boring tasks like grading assignments, giving teachers more time to focus on students. Outside of school, robots are used in hospitals, factories, and even space exploration, making work faster and safer.

But let’s be honest – robots aren’t perfect. They don’t understand emotions, so they can’t replace real teachers or friends. If we rely too much on them, students might lose important social skills.

Moreover, robots are never ill or late for work, so some people worry that they might take away jobs from humans in the future.

In the end, robots can be super useful, but they should be used wisely. They should help us, not replace us. After all, nothing beats real human connection!

FA M O U S S C I E N T I S T S Isaac Newton (1642–1727) Isaac Newton was a mathematician, physicist and astronomer.

He worked out the basic laws of gravity and motion and showed that light is made up of the seven colours of the rainbow. Newton built the first reflecting telescope and he also helped to develop calculus. He once said that people built too many walls, and not enough bridges.

Rachel Carson (1907–1964) Rachel Carson was a biologist and environmentalist from the USA. She researched the effects of pesticides and showed that they were also killing animals. In 1962 she published the results of her research in a book called Silent Spring. As a result of her work, some of the most dangerous pesticides were banned in the USA. Francis Crick (1916–2004), Maurice Wilkins (1916–2004) and James Watson (1928) Francis Crick and Maurice Wilkins were English and James Watson is from the USA. They researched and discovered the structure of DNA, which contains the genetic information that allows all living things to function, grow and reproduce. Crick said that they had discovered the secret of life. They won the Nobel Prize in 1962 for their work.

A We organize walking tours in Utah. Walk through three different canyons and enjoy the amazing landscape. Our guides will show you the best routes. There are usually about 20 people in a group, so you get to meet some great people, too!

B Come and stay in this beautiful busy town on the coast. There are lots of restaurants and cafés to visit in the evening and plenty of new people to meet!

During the day you can relax on the beach, swim, go diving or try sea kayaking.

C

Yellowstone Campsite is right next to the tranquil National Park. You have to bring your own food and water because there are no shops or restaurants. You can go hiking or mountain biking in the forest or kayaking in the lake nearby.

This option offers a great variety of sports, but in a very dynamic and crowded city.

This plan offers the possibility to do sports individually, in a very quiet place.

Matching Practice Step 2

Tip Review your answers After finishing this exercise, read the description of the person and place you have chosen. Can you find any details that don’t match? Make sure the paragraph matches the other person’s statements.

Step 1

Read the descriptions.

Read all the options.

Read the three options carefully before you try to match them with the people.

Step 3

Match the people and options.

Read the first person’s information again and read each option again. Eliminate unsuitable options. Note down the best option. Then do the same for the other person.

Read the descriptions of the people and identify any important information. Think about what might be a good choice for each person.

Step 4

Check your answers again to make sure they are correct.

A German adventure

This is a great holiday if you’re looking for new experiences! First, you travel by coach through the forests of Germany. There’s time to explore many of the towns on the way. Then you stay in Berlin for two nights before flying to Munich. You finish the holiday with a helicopter ride. The holiday isn’t cheap, but it’s worth it!

Joanne enjoys trying new ways of travelling. She hates flying. She likes seeing different places and not staying in one place.

Steve is an active person.

He hasn’t got much money.

He doesn’t mind if the journey takes a long time.

He loves water sports.

B

Explore France Bored with traditional holidays? Travel around the countryside of France by horse-drawn caravan.

Stop when you want to and for as long as you want! There are plenty of beautiful towns and castles to see on the way.

C

Sea adventure This working holiday isn’t for people who like relaxing! You travel from Naples to Barcelona by yacht and learn to sail. We stop at different places on Sardinia and Mallorca to explore some of the towns and try water sports. You work hard when you’re on the boat, but you only have to pay for food on this trip that takes six weeks.
