do nothing m Ca

Are you always busy? I am! I’ve got lots of hobbies, a big family and too much homework. I’m never bored! But today is a ‘do nothing day’. Imagine that!

1…

2…

Experts say that doing nothing helps us to be more creative and relaxed. Also, when we do nothing, we have time to think about what we really want to do with our time. Do you know what you really want to do? It means you can’t use your phone or computer! You also can’t read or listen to music. You can go for a walk, look out of the window or have a bath.

First, I turn my phone off. Then I walk to the park. I lie on the grass, watch the clouds and listen to the birds. It starts raining, so I go home and look out of the window. Do you like looking at the rain from the window? I love the rain!

I don’t like turning my phone off! I try not to feel stressed about all my homework and hobbies. It’s difficult, but at the end of the day I feel calm and sleep very well. I feel surprised that I enjoyed the day so much!

Courses with a DIFFERENCE

1…

Normal subjects like art, maths and science are interesting, but what else can we teach and learn? In the USA, thousands of students teach courses every year to help their classmates learn new and unusual things. Students sometimes even write exams which their classmates pass or fail. Here are three wonderful courses taught by students.

3…

Would you like to learn the songs of BTS, Blackpink and all your other favourite K-pop bands? In this course, we’ll listen to lots of amazing K-pop music, practise K-pop dance routines, and learn the 24 letters of the Korean alphabet. There’s no exam in this course, but you will have to perform a song at the end-of-term karaoke party in December!

This is a course for people who want to make cakes which look like everyday objects, like hamburgers or trainers. In each lesson, there’s a 20-minute presentation. Then pupils work in groups to make a cake. To pass this course, you need to complete your own cake project. Note: this is an advanced course, so if you want to get better at making normal cakes, try the intermediate baking course instead.

ss se As d an s le es sa Pr r y fo it t rs no ve y ni p

You might think that climbing trees is just for children, but it’s a great way to relax and exercise. This course includes lessons on how to climb safely and the equipment you need – and you get the chance to climb some amazing trees. The class starts on Wednesday at 4 pm and is every week this term. The course finishes with a test and you need a mark of 70% or more to pass.

My school is in a small town with lots of fields all around it, and about 600 students go there. It’s in a modern building with big classrooms.

My favourite subject at school is ICT, so I really love those lessons. I love playing computer games with my classmates after the lessons, too.

My school is special because I live on a farm a long way from the school, so I only go to my school for about two weeks each year. Usually, I do all my lessons online. There’s one very strange rule. When I study at home, I still have to wear a school uniform!

I go to a sports school. We spend a lot of time doing PE. It’s the first lesson every day, it’s two hours long and it starts at 7 am. That means I need to wake up at 5.30 in the morning! Of course, we do normal subjects like history and maths, too.

My school is very large and it’s in the middle of a city. Around it there are lots of places to do sport, for example a swimming pool and basketball courts.

I love lots of things about my school, but my favourite thing is seeing my classmates every day.

IS #VANLIFE FOR ME? If you look at #VanLife online, you’ll find more than 20 million photos, videos and blogs. You’ll see beautiful people, living in beautiful vans and visiting beautiful places. But what’s life in a van really like?

m Ca

You can wake up in the morning with a view of mountains in front of you and go to sleep that night next to a beach! Is a campsite in the middle of the forest a bit too quiet for you? You can drive to a busy city, or even a different country!

You can make amazing new friends. When you live in a van, people are interested in your story, so they often stop to chat.

Today, more and more people can work and study on the internet. So, lots of people can travel while they do their job or a college course.

You spend a lot of time planning … Where to go? Where to wash? Where to buy food? Finding safe places to park is difficult, too. These are all problems which you don’t have to think about in a traditional house.

Although you meet new people, not seeing your family and your friends from home can be hard. People often miss their pets a lot, too. Most animals aren’t comfortable living in vans, so people often have to leave their pets with friends or family.

VOCABULARY

Vans are tiny and quickly get untidy. There aren’t usually showers – some vans don’t even have toilets! There’s sometimes a small kitchen and a very small sink, but do you want to cook next to your bed every day?

BY THAO, AGED 13

Every year we travel from Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi to spend Tet (Vietnamese New Year) with my grandparents. Normally we fly, but last year we decided to save money and take the train. I was so excited about the trip!

An aeroplane takes about two hours, but the train takes 30 hours! The journey is 1,726 km long. We booked a room on the train. It had six beds for me, my brother, my sister, my mum, my dad and my aunt. We didn’t have much space with all our bags in there as well! We slept on the train for two nights. The sound of the train was very relaxing at night.

In the day, I played games with my family, read a book and listened to music. Sometimes we went to the restaurant on the train to buy some food and drink. The best thing was looking out of the window. We saw the train go through a forest, along the beach and across rivers. My favourite part was going through the Hai Van Pass near Danang. The mountains and the sea looked amazing! There were a lot of rice farms, and I waved at the workers.

3 Read the blog post. For each question, choose the correct answer. 4 Which part of the journey

did Thao like the best? A seeing the rice farms B visiting Danang C going through the mountains 5 What does Thao say about Hanoi? A The train’s path is unusual. B The city is cool. C The train station was interesting.

Why did Thao’s family go to Hanoi by train? A because it was more exciting B because it was quicker C because it was cheaper 2 What was their room on the train like? A crowded B big C noisy 3 What did Thao enjoy doing on the train? A spending time with her family B looking out of the window C eating in the restaurant 1

I loved seeing more of my country. Vietnam is very beautiful! For the last part of the journey in Hanoi, the train goes through ‘Train Street’ in the centre of the city. It was strange and cool. My grandparents met us at the train station and we told them about our interesting train journey.

You can use VR (virtual reality) to take a trip to Antarctica, the pyramids of Egypt or even the National Gallery in London. You can spend the day seeing the famous sights of the world, without leaving your sofa!

How about cooking a meal from a different country? Choose any country in the world, then research and make food that the people like to eat. While you’re cooking, why not listen to some music from the country you chose?

For an adventure, why not put up a tent in your garden and sleep there? You and your friends can have a picnic in the garden, too. Bad weather or no garden? No problem! Put your sleeping bags in the living room and camp there!

WHY IS

SHOPPING GREAT?

We went to a shopping centre to find out why people think shopping is great!

ss se As d an s le es sa Pr r y fo it t rs no ve y ni p

U PAULINA, 17

I’m out shopping today because I felt stressed, but shopping always makes me feel better! I’m out with my friends and we are chatting and window shopping. I don’t even need to spend any money. Just being at the shops helps me relax. I bought a backpack and some make-up today! I also helped my friend to choose a new wallet.

ALEC, 22

MAI, 34

I work in a sports shop. I love my job because I get to talk to people and help them choose new trainers, tracksuits or tennis rackets. Before I started working here, I didn’t have a job or any money, so this job is really important to me. There aren’t many jobs in this area, so lots of my friends work in shops, too.

I have a small shop selling fair trade necklaces, bracelets and earrings. I started the shop two years ago and at first it was difficult, but I am creating a better future for myself and my children by having my own business. I buy the jewellery from villages in Thailand, my home country, so I am also helping the people there.

But after a while, he understood that the video was funny, and he enjoyed it a month later when he was on a TV show called Very Viral. 4 What did Jack think was funniest?

1 The phone-holder tie

BUT … When the tie is holding your phone, it’s quite close to your face. This means it’s difficult to tap your phone screen when you want to choose a video or type. And the tie is heavy, too, so it’ll be uncomfortable to wear all day.

3 The chessboard drone

BUT …

You’re at a café, you want to connect to the wi-fi … but you can’t remember the password. No problem! Wave to this robot, and it’ll come and give you the password.

Think about the café owner! How much do robots cost? And how often do customers need to remember passwords? Maybe there’s a cheaper way to solve this problem!

ss se As d an s le es sa Pr r y fo it t rs no ve y ni p

Do the maths! A normal chess game has about 40 moves. And 40 x 5 minutes means you’ll be waiting for more than three hours! Why not just download a chess game on your phone and send a text to ask your friend to play?

2 Read the article quickly. Were your answers to Exercise 1 correct?

Would you like some frogs for your cough?

Next time you’re sick and go to see a nurse or visit a chemist, remember how lucky you are! Many years ago, medicine was not like it is now …

In Roman times, a doctor called Pliny wrote about medicine. He said you should eat a soup made of frogs’ legs for three days for a cough and use snail juice on a sore throat! It wasn’t all bad for the Romans, though. They used lavender for headaches and mint for stomach aches, and we still use these things today.

In medieval times, hundreds of years ago, a barber didn’t just cut people’s

hair. A barber shop was also the place to go for help with toothache or a broken bone!

In the 1800s, doctors told their patients to have a holiday by the sea to help with many illnesses. But … if you didn’t have enough money for a seaside holiday, you could try smelling an old sock! Smelly socks were used to help with colds.

8.4 Read and listen to the article. Are these sentences true or false? 1 3 5

Asking open questions To keep a conversation going, it is often good to use ‘open’ questions. These can have many different answers, for example Why?, How? or When? questions. ‘Closed’ questions are yes/no questions or ones with only a few possible answers.

3 What is good medicine if you have a headache? 4 What do you do when you have a cough? 5 Have you ever had toothache? 6 What is helpful for stomach ache?

7 Which is the worst medicine in the article?

ORACY

Do you think you are a healthy person? C

2 Do you eat lots of vegetables?

No ideas from Roman times are used now. Barbers in medieval times didn’t cut hair. Pliny was the name of a Roman doctor. Snails were used for headaches in the past. People wore socks when they were sick.

4 Decide if these questions are open (O) or closed (C).

5 Work in pairs. Discuss the questions in Exercise 4.

Try to continue the conversation by asking followup questions. STRETCH! Do you know any traditional medicines from your culture? What are they? Do you use them? Do you think they work? Do some research and discuss the medicines with a partner. Unit 8 How healthy are you? |

I have always wanted to work on the family farm. When I finished school, I didn’t want to go to university. I started working with my grandparents on the farm, but I wanted to do something different, so I bought my first alpaca! We all love them, as they are very friendly. It’s hard work being a farmer.

THE FUTURE

THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX!

OF WORK

m Ca

Imagine the year is 2050. You want to go shopping, so you get into a taxi which is driven by a computer. When you get in, a drone flies by the window, carrying a coffee. ‘Be careful!’ the taxi warns. You arrive at the shops and chat to a computer about some new jeans that you want to buy. The computer is helpful and polite. A machine measures you, and a few seconds later, a robot makes your new trousers. They look great!

In this future, the jobs of today’s hard-working taxi drivers, shop assistants and factory workers have disappeared. It sounds like science fiction, but many people think that robots and computers will take 500 million jobs from people in the next ten years. In fact, robots and computers already do many jobs – from making phone calls to picking tomatoes. They are great at doing jobs which are always the same, and they are sometimes cheaper and more reliable than people.

ss se As d an s le es sa Pr r y fo it t rs no ve y ni p

However, there are three kinds of jobs which robots and computers will probably never do. First, there are creative jobs (for example, the work of scientists, writers or musicians). Secondly, there are jobs where working with people is important. Computers will probably never understand people well enough to be managers or teachers. Finally, there are jobs that are very different every day. For example, firefighters are workers who can put out a fire in a building on one day, then help a cat down from a tree on another. What do you think work will be like in 2050?

MEASURING TIME

SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY

The word time is the most common noun in the English language. This is not surprising: we need to wake up at a particular time each day. We should give ourselves enough time to have breakfast. We need to get to school on time and study. And of course, we need time for the things we enjoy doing after school.

Telling stories is important in all human civilisations and has been important for tens of thousands of years. Not all of these are stories as we might imagine them today. Before writing was invented, people told stories using other methods of communication. These include drawings, dance and music.

1 THINK

Look at the image. With a partner, discuss the questions.

Every story, whether a novel, a film or a TV drama, has a plot – a series of connected events that happen to the characters. The story follows a clear line of development from the beginning to the middle to the end. The shape of the story as a whole can be seen in a narrative arc, which shows how the action develops.

In many research laboratories around the world, engineers in the field of microtechnology are designing objects that are extremely small. These objects are so small that many of them could fit along the width of a piece of paper! The purpose is to produce things that can help in different fields like medicine and electronics.

ADVERBS OF MANNER

THE PASSIVE

m Ca

Active: Companies sell 1,500,000,000 mobile phones every year. Passive: 1,500,000,000 mobile phones are sold every year. In the sentence above, are sold is a passive verb. We use the passive when: • we don’t know who does an action. • who does an action is not important.

The passive is formed with be + past participle. We can change the verb be to use the passive in different tenses. Past simple passive

Positive

The box is opened with a key.

The box was opened with a key.

Negative

The box isn’t opened with a key.

The box wasn’t opened with a key.

Questions

How is the box opened?

We usually add -ly to adjectives to make them into adverbs of manner: quickly neatly beautifully slowly perfectly Adjectives ending in -y or -le are slightly different: • happy ➜ happily angry ➜ angrily • terrible ➜ terribly comfortable ➜ comfortably There are also some irregular adverbs: • good ➜ well Did you do well on the test? • early ➜ early I get up early so I can watch videos before school. • late ➜ late I couldn’t find my phone, so I left home late. • hard ➜ hard I studied hard for the exam.

ss se As d an s le es sa Pr r y fo it t rs no ve y ni p

Present simple passive

Adverbs of manner usually come after a verb and tell us how something happens. I’m trying to draw carefully. She was playing music quietly. My phone fits perfectly in my pocket.

How was the box opened?

When we use the passive and want to say who does the action, we can use by: Romeo and Juliet was written by William Shakespeare.
