1 Read the text and answer the questions: Vocabulary age limit – возрастные ограничения medals are awarded – награждают медалями individual events – личные достижения torch - факел site of the games – место проведения игр/соревнований host nation – принимающая страна Olympic rings – Олимпийские кольца represent the five continents – символизируют пять континентов take an oath – давать клятву compete in a fair way – честно соревноваться play the anthem – играть гимн Ceremonies and Symbols of the Olympic Games Each Olympic game lasts about two weeks. There is no age limit and medals are awarded for individual events. Another brilliant thing about the Olympic Games is that there is a symbol of the peaceful competition that signifies the Olympics. It’s the torch. Before each set of Olympic Games, runners carry a torch all the way from Greece to the site of the games. This is done to remind people of how the games began. The Olympic Games begin with the opening ceremony. Athletes from all the participating nations march into the stadium. Greece comes in first, because it was the first nation to hold the Olympics and the host nation comes in last. The Olympic flag is raised and a chosen athlete lights the Olympic flame. It is a symbol of spirit, knowledge and life. The fire comes from Olympia, a small town in Greece and many runners transport the flame in a torch relay to the site of the games. It burns from the opening ceremony until the end of the games. The Olympic rings were created in 1913 and represent the five continents (Africa, Asia, Europe, Australia and the Americas). All athletes must take the Olympic oath. One of them has to promise that all athletes will give their best and compete in a fair way. After each event, medals are given to the first three athletes. They receive gold, silver and bronze medals. Their flags are raised and the national anthem of the winner's country is played. 6

We are very worried about her really. London is such a dangerous place for a young girl. She is only 18 … and London is so far away. Her mother went down to see her there but I don’t like London. I don’t know why she went there. I think she has some friends there. She says she wants to be a dancer and she’s doing a sort of course, a ballet course or something …but dancing isn’t a real job and you don’t earn much money being a dancer. She’s living in a flat in North London… with a boyfriend I think and we don’t like that at all. We’ve never met the boyfriend, Tony, his name is. He doesn’t have a job. I think she is earning some extra money working as a dancer in a theatre or club in the Centre of London, but I’m not sure. I hope it’s a nice place. I do worry about her. London is such a big place. I’m sure she wants to 10
come home really. She phones home sometimes but not very often. And when we phone her she is always out. We are her parents, and I know we are important to her, but it still makes me sad. 2 Jacky Snow speaks about her life in London I came in London two months ago, because I want to be a professional dancer. And the best school of dancing is here in London. I’m doing the course at the National Dance School which is very hard work, but I’m really enjoying it. The course is expensive but I work with the theatre group at the weekend. We teach dance to groups of children. I’m living with another girl in a flat in North London. It’s small but it’s comfortable. My boyfriend, Tony, lives in the same street with his parents. They are very kind and often cook meals for me. I know my parents are worried about me living in London but it isn’t dangerous at all if you are careful. It’s so exciting here. There’s so much to do and see. It was difficult in the beginning, especially getting to know underground. And I didn’t know many people. But it’s fine now. I have lots of good friends. I love my mom and dad very much, but I don’t want to live at home for the rest of my life. I phone home every Sunday and when I go to the museum or art gallery I always send them a postcard. Mom reads them, but I don’t know if dad does. Speak in class about David’s worries about his daughter living in London. Does he have any grounds for being sad? Prove it. 5

The Lighthouse of Alexandria, Egypt The Lighthouse of Alexandria was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Built on the ancient island of Pharos, off the city’s coast, it worked day and night to mark the harbor and make sure that sailors could safely sail the dangerous waters into the harbor. The ruler of Egypt, Ptolemy Soter, began building the Lighthouse which was completed during the reign of Ptolemy II (283-246 BC). Sostratus was the architect and calculations for the building were carried out at the famous Alexandria Library. At the time, the Lighthouse was the tallest building on Earth, rising over 40 stories high. Built in three layers, the lowest was rectangular, the middle layer was octagonal and the top was circular. At the top of the Lighthouse a fire was kept burning all night to guide ships into the harbor. The Lighthouse’s most impressive feature was a mysterious mirror. According to legend, the mirror was a weapon. It could direct sunrays onto enemy ships and burn them. The Lighthouse stood for about 1,500 years before it was destroyed by an earthquake. 35

1 Do you know anything about a traditional Irish wedding? Read the texts and mark the statements True (T) or False (F). 1 2 3 4
Irish couples don’t follow ancient customs. The groom couldn’t go to the bride’s house before the wedding. Irish brides don’t carry expensive bouquets. It is unlucky for Irish brides to wear green. A Traditional Irish Wedding
“Marry in April if you can, joy for maiden and for man”! So says one Irish wedding tradition which has its roots in ancient history, folklore and interesting superstitions! Even in these modern times, many couples try to include ancient customs in their wedding, in the hope that it will bring them luck and happiness. Here are some of the traditions that Irish people follow on their wedding day. In the past, the groom was invited to the bride’s house just before the wedding and a goose was cooked in his honour. Many Irish people believe that showing such generosity to the groom will make sure that he won’t change his mind about the wedding at the last minute! A traditional Irish bride doesn’t spend a fortune on bouquets of exotic flowers. Instead, she usually wears a wreath of wild flowers in her hair, freshly picked on the morning of her wedding. She carried more wild flowers in her hands, as well as a “magic” handkerchief and a horseshoe for luck. Part of the bride’s wedding dress is usually used to make the christening robe for the first-born child. Irish wisdom advises brides never to wear green on their wedding day or to dance with both feet off the ground, as both of these things will tempt the fairies to carry them off forever. 2 Discuss and compare a traditional Irish wedding in class. Use the vocabulary under study. 5 Discussing video/audio 1 Do you like celebrating special events? What are your favorites? Why? Do you know how to give gifts in different countries? 40

Beginnings 1 Janet Black looked out of the window of the old building. It was dark and wet. Rain was coming down heavily. The streets were empty. No cars, no people… nothing. Suddenly a flash of lightning tore across the sky. She shivered with fear. A huge spaceship was approaching the building. “They’ve found me,” she gasped. “I can’t get away now”. 2 “I don’t want to die!” David shouted. The wind was blowing against his sweaty face as he held onto the rocky cliff. He was tired. He didn’t know how much longer he could keep himself from falling. He looked up at the clear morning sky. Suddenly, he heard the sound of a helicopter approaching him. 59
Endings a) David could hear the siren of an ambulance as the helicopter landed. People were waiting anxiously for them. A man opened the ambulance door. “Don’t worry! Everything will be OK”, the man told him. David looked up at his kind face and smiled weakly. He was exhausted, but he was alive. b) Professor Miller put his arms gently around her shoulders. She was still shaking with fear, but she felt safe. The flashing lights were gone, along with the strange faces, and the professor was holding her. She took his hand in hers. Then she noticed it: the same strange scar like the one the aliens had. “Oh no! This can’t be true!” she cried. 2 Ask 10 questions about the content of both texts. Were these texts interesting?

Vocabulary To store – хранить, накапливать, запасать Round the corner –за углом, рядом, близко Furniture – мебель, обстановка, фурнитура Warehouse – товарный склад, пакгауз, большой магазин 64
To convert into – превращать Clue – ключ (к разгадке), подсказка Reading Houses Look at a house from the outside, and you can guess what type of people live in it. Well, perhaps this is not always true. Some people can live in unusual houses. Some people live on boats, in tree houses or in tents. For example, imagine you are in an old part of an industrial city in the UK. Cities like London, Manchester, Liverpool or Newcastle. There is a river, or a canal, which was important for transport in the past, before the railways were built. There are a lot of enormous buildings near the water. They were built in the 19th century. They must be industrial places to store things for import or export. But…look more closely! There are expensive cars parked outside some of these buildings. And on the corner of the street there is a French restaurant, with a wine bar opposite. And just round the corner there is a shop with beautiful furniture. And here are more shops…Who buys these things? Answer: the people who now live in these old buildings. Old warehouses like these offer two things that are difficult to find in modern houses: space, and a view. Over the past 10 years, more and more architects have converted buildings like this into apartments, which have big rooms, high ceilings… and often a terrace which looks onto the water. So, the old parts of many of Britain’s industrial cities now have a new life. They are not dead anymore, with empty warehouses and disused factories. You can buy factory space and make yourself a home in it. And the people who live in them can walk or cycle to work. Or…with so much space. They work from home with a computer and a modem! Buildings don’t always tell us about lifestyles immediately. So, next time you see an old station, a deserted church or a village school in Britain, look carefully for the clues. You may get a surprise. Is this true in your town too? 2 Are these sentences true or false? 1 2 3 4 5
These buildings were built recently. They are very spacious. Britain’s city centres do not have people living in them. Some people in Britain live and work in the same place. Some people in Britain live in churches. 5 Discussing video/audio

1 Read the text and find out 1 Do young people in France follow fashion line? 2 Are young people in England conservative in their style of dress? 3 Where do students buy clothes in the UK? Vocabulary: To stand out – выделяться Trend – курс, направление, тенденция come across – случайно встретить (ся), наткнуться Vintage market – рынок старинных вещей Charity shop – благотворительный магазин (торгующий подержанными вещами и отдающий выручку на благотворительные цели) Crested with – украшенный гербом Logo – логотип, фирменный знак, эмблема What do you wear? Here in France one of the things that has stood out is how there generally seems to be one line of fashion and people follow it. There are, of course, the different groups – you will get goths (in black), for example – but the locals here have also asked me if I’ve noticed this trend, a trend seemingly of following the fashion that high street shops present. I’ve frequently come across young people in heels, wearing a lot of make-up and with carefully combed hair, even when they’re 69
not even going anywhere special. Maybe there is one image that lots of people are aiming for. Do you think about fashion? Perhaps it is just from my experience, but in England young people can wear anything and everything these days. There are many fashions to be followed, including the one of the high street shops, but following no particular fashion at all is also ok. In Falmouth, home town of an arts university in the south of England, the streets are full of students wearing clothes they’ve bought from vintage markets, from charity shops, from high street shops, or which they’ve found in their parents’ wardrobe. Anything goes. Another stereotype, but still true, in places like Cambridge and Durham you will find students in gilets, and shirts crested with the Jack Wills logo. In London no second person will look the same. For the young people of Britain any hair colour, style and shape has the potential to be liked. You can wear what you want – even if you don’t wear it with high street style. Your style is your choice.

Prince has been working with disadvantaged children and Aids sufferers in Lesotho. More than 200,000 young Britons are now choosing to take a gap year at the end of their secondary school studies. Some people are also taking gap years at the end of their university course. A gap year used to be called 'a year off' because the people who chose to do it were taking a break from their studies. It can be stressful to go from Primary tests to Secondary school exams and then straight on to Higher Education without ever having a rest. It also gives you a chance to think about your future, make plans and decide what type of work you would like to do. Nowadays there are so many different voluntary projects worldwide and so many British and International charities looking for helpers that students have little trouble finding something useful to do during their gap year. Employers now look closely at the experience of new graduates. A gap year can be great fun but it also looks good on your CV. Some volunteers might find themselves alone in faraway places or working in a team under difficult conditions in a jungle, up a mountain or in a very poor country. They all agree that this adventure is a very important part of growing up. 2 Are these sentences true or false? 1 Gap year is a year after school for young people to prepare for the university exams.

Vocabulary: To share – делить, разделять At a low cost – недорого Houmous – хумус, паста, пюре из нута Help oneself – угощаться Halloumi cheese – козий сыр The Secret to a Perfect Picnic Summer is here in the UK and it's therefore the perfect excuse to have a picnic outside and enjoy the sun and fresh air. I live in Edinburgh in Scotland near The Meadows, which is a great place to go and meet friends for lunch in the sun (yes, we do occasionally receive sunny weather in Scotland!) Many people play sports such as football, cricket, rugby or tennis nearby and some people even bring a guitar or some portable speakers and play some music. As you can imagine, the atmosphere is great! In the UK, picnics are very common amongst students because then everyone can bring something small for the whole group to share, creating lots of variety at a very low cost. Yesterday I went for a lovely picnic with some friends and I brought some chopped carrots, pitta bread and houmous. This was really popular and everyone helped themselves! Other people brought lots of other food, such as potato salad, crisps, nuts and fruits like strawberries and grapes. It is also very common to bring a disposable barbecue and eat grilled sausages or burgers or even, as we did yesterday, a vegetable kebab composed of peppers, tomatoes mushrooms and halloumi cheese! All you need to add is a nice summery drink, some friends and (hopefully) some nice weather and you've got yourself the perfect summery picnic!

Vote - голосовать Copper – полицейский (разговорный) Emergency – непредвиденный случай, чрезвычайное положение, критическая ситуация Reality TV Reality TV is extremely popular in the UK. At their best, these programmes give us a good look into the lives of different people in Britain. At their worst, they are a very cheap way to make programmes and sometimes involve people behaving very badly. Here’s a selection of some of the UK’s reality TV shows. Strictly Come Dancing In the show a celebrity learns to dance with a professional dancer. Every week they have to learn a different ballroom dance such as the tango, the waltz or the cha cha cha, and perform it live on TV on Saturday night. Four judges, who are all professional dance experts, give the celebrities scores and they comment on their dances. After that, the public call in and vote for their favourite couple. The two least favourite then have to dance again and the judges decide who stays in the competition and who leaves. This is a very popular show with small children, teenagers and adults of all ages. Coppers The show follows the daily lives of police officers (informally known as 'coppers') from different police forces around Britain. We see them in lots of different situations, such as riot control, city centre night-time policing, and responding to emergencies. Watching the police in action is absolutely fascinating! 2 Write 15 sentences about your favourite reality TV programmes. 3 Ask your mates about their favourite TV grogammes in class. 5 Discussing video/audio 1 Is it difficult for you to predict?

Vocabulary To host – принимать, организовывать Fiction film – художественный, игровой фильм Factual film- документальный фильм Schedule – план, программа Showcase – выставка, показ, витрина Thriller – остросюжетны Film Festival Season In England it is currently film festival season. This week Sheffield hosts the International Documentary Festival, and next month there is the London Film Festival. Both festivals show new films from all around the world, with one essential difference. The London Film Festival shows fiction films, the Sheffield Festival shows factual films. The Sheffield festival is now 11 years old, and it has grown from a small weekend festival into a week-long festival that not only shows new documentary films, but also runs training workshops for new directors and has interviews with important film makers. Normally documentaries are only seen on TV, so, this festival, which shows the films in a modern cinema in Sheffield, is a great opportunity to see documentary films on the big screen. There are films from all over the world, from Japan to Australia, from West Africa to Russia. In all, over 70 films are showing at the festival. The Chairman of the festival, Christopher Hird, says he is proud of how many different cultures and lives are represented in the film schedule. The London Film Festival is a rather different affair. It has been running for nearly 50 years and it lasts for two weeks. The festival takes place in the largest cinemas in London and the attendance figures are high. It attracts many glamorous stars to the premieres of the bigger movies that are being shown in the festival. The festival is an international showcase of cinema, but this year the opening and closing films are both British. The opening film is “Dirty Little Things” - a thriller set in the immigrant community in contemporary London. The final film is ‘The Heart of Me’ – a love story set in 1930s England, involving two sisters who are in love with the same man. All in all, this is set to be a fabulous month for those who love to see the world up there on the big screen. 2 Write 15 sentences about your favourite film. 3 Ask your mates questions about their favourite films in class. 5 Discussing video/audio 1 Have you ever tried to shoot a film?

Vocabulary: Permission – разрешение Generation – поколение Figure –цифра, число Graduate – выпускник Boom – резко вырасти Afford – позволить себе Split – расщеплять, разделять Male – мужской Female – женский The Boomerang Generation Many countries have legal limits for the age somebody can leave home. In the UK you can drive a car at 17, buy alcohol and vote at the age of 18. You can leave home and also get married at age 16 if you have your parents’ permission. What’s interesting is how more and more people are staying at home longer in the UK. There’s even a word for it – it’s called the boomerang generation. The boomerang generation is young people who leave home to go to University but then return to live with their parents when they’ve finished their studies. So they leave home but come back to their parents again after studying. The latest official figures show that the number of graduates returning home after University has increased by a third 90
in the last 20 years. The boomerang generation is booming. According to the Office for National Statistics, around 15% of female graduates move back home. For male graduates the figure is 22%, that’s an increase of almost a third in twenty years, and with a lack of jobs for the class of 2010 the numbers are expected to rise. Most of the reasons are economic – students are finding it difficult to get jobs after they finish their studies so they can’t afford to pay for their own place to live. Some students do a house or flat-share where they can split the rent with other young people. But some students have such big debts after paying for University they can’t afford to do a house or flat-share with other people. It’s easier to go home to their parents and try and save some money!

They are basically singing competitions or talent shows. They are events where people compete to show how skilled they are in a particular area. The talent shows are a winning format. This expression means a show, where contestants are gradually eliminated until there is just one winner left. One of the men behind 'the X Factor' show is someone called Simon Cowell. He has sold his winning format to more than 40 countries worldwide including Denmark, Italy, Spain, Russia, Colombia and India. He's been very successful. He is a judge on the actual shows, the owner of the format and the person who profits from the sales of the music after the show has ended. He is also well known for being incredibly rude to the contestants. Here is an example of the way he speaks to contestant: -”You can't sing. Not very good and incredibly annoying” –“I just think you should give us a chance”. –“But a chance to do what?” – “To improve.” – “Yeah, girls, we have weeks not decades”. He's got an ego, a great feeling of his own importance and ability. He's driven, which 94
means he is determined to achieve something or be successful in a certain area. What drives Simon Cowell? Could it be just down to artistic ambition, his desire to be successful in doing something creative? No. it doesn’t. The music is too mainstream, that is unoriginal, predictable. The process isn't about creativity or originality. It's just about money and being fame. That doesn’t seem surprising however. Lots of people seem to want to be famous these days. But what about the winners' musical careers after the show has ended? A lot of the artists that have come through his show have pretty short lived careers.

And because no one else can open your post, it’s really private as well and it’s exclusively just for you. I find that really exciting. It’s so tactile as opposed to any kind of technology and because the method is so traditional and long-standing it just seems a lot more real’. Student: Yes, there are a lot of advantages to having a pen pal including the opportunity to practise reading and writing in a foreign language, to improve literacy, to learn more about other countries and lifestyles and to make friendships. Many people are still keen on having a pen pal and often use a special agency to put them in contact with someone in another country they can write to. However you can still have a pen pal even if you prefer to use email….these are sometimes called 'key pals' as you write letters on the keys of your computer rather than with a pen.

Vocabulary With the naked eye – невооруженным глазом Conjunction – сочетание Investigation – исследование Misidentify – ошибочно отождествить Conventional – обычный Strict – строгий, точный Null - малозначимый 102
Unexplained aerial observations have been reported throughout history. Some were undoubtedly astronomical in nature: comets, bright meteors, one or more of the five planets that can be seen with the naked eye, planetary conjunctions, or atmospheric optical phenomena. The term "UFO" (or "UFOB") was officially created in 1953 by the United States Air Force (USAF) to replace the more popular terms because of the variety of shapes described other than "discs" or "saucers." UFOs have been subject to investigations over the years. Governments or independent academics in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Japan, Peru, France, Belgium, Sweden, Brazil, Chile, Uruguay, Mexico, Spain, and the Soviet Union are known to have investigated UFO reports at various times. Studies have established that the majority of UFO observations are misidentified conventional objects or natural phenomena—most commonly aircraft, balloons, clouds, or astronomical objects such as meteors or bright planets. Between 5% and 20% of reported sightings are not explained, and therefore can be classified as unidentified in the strictest sense. While supporters of the extraterrestrial hypothesis suggest that these unexplained reports are of alien spacecraft, the null hypothesis cannot be excluded that these reports are simply other more prosaic phenomena that cannot be identified due to lack of complete information or due to the necessary subjectivity of the reports. Answer the following questions: 1 2 3 4 5
When was the term UFO officially created? Who investigated the subject? What conventional objects and natural phenomena are usually taken for UFOs? Why are other hypothesis null? Why are people so excited about UFOs in your opinion.

Pythias and Damon, young philosophers in the school of Pythagoras, the man who gave his name to a theorem used in geometry, lived in the 5th century BC. They ran into trouble with Dionysius I of Syracuse, an important city in Sicily, which was part of the Greek area of Italy. He was a cruel ruler. He put one of them in prison and appointed a day for the execution. One of the young philosophers wanted to put his family's affairs in order, and asked leave to do so. Dionysius thought he would run away and said no, but then the other young philosopher said he would take his friend's place in the prison, and, if his friend did not return, he himself should be put to death. Dionysius agreed, and was then greatly surprised when the condemned man returned right in time to 106

Are you a bicycle lover who understands the beauty and importance of this eco-friendly machine? Then you belong to my kind. I love cycling. In my growing up years, the first bicycle was my ticket to freedom. Since then, I have always been curious about the invention of the bicycle. First bicycle was invented by the German civil servant Baron Karl von Drais in 1817. It was a bicycle without pedals made up of two in line wheels, attached to a wooden frame. The rider sat and pushed the bike forward with his feet. It was something like the modern scooter toy used by kids. Frenchmen Pierre Michaux, Pierre Lallement and the Olivier brothers are credited with 109
development of the first pedaled bicycle 1860s, the 'Velocipede', built with a large front wheel and a smaller rear wheel. The pedals were attached to the front wheel with the addition of a crank. This French creation was made up from a combination of wood and metal frame. In 1885 J.K. Starley, J.H.Lawson and Shergold modernized the bicycle by introducing the now familiar chain drive and attaching the pedals to the rear wheel. These were known as the 'Safety bikes'. The ride was still rough, until the Scotsman John Dunlop introduced the first pneumatic tire in 1888. Nowadays there is a great variety of bicycles: city bikes, mountain bikes, racing bikes, recreation bikes, touring bikes, road bike and some others. Answer the following questions: 1 Is the bicycle just a transport? 2 What does the bicycle mean to you?

1 Read the text and answer the questions Vocabulary: viewers – зрители consumer – потребитель disseminate – распространять billboards – щиты billboard advertising – наружная реклама allot resources – выделять ресурсы Persuading people through advertising Some people are easily persuaded through advertising. Advertising is mass media content intended to persuade audiences of readers, viewers or listeners to take action on products, services and ideas. The idea is to drive consumer behaviour in a particular way in regard to a product, service or concept. Advertising is the paid, impersonal one-way marketing of persuasive information from an identified sponsor disseminated through channels of mass communicator of adoption of goods, services or ideas. Advertising is a form, either written or oral, that attempts to sell something whether it is a product or particular view. Advertising is associated with commercialisms, but both concepts are far different. Commercialism is the domination of a product into society. Billboard advertising is one of the oldest forms of advertising. Some billboards are electronic and advertise more than one company. The term “billboard advertising” relates to the usage of signs along the waysides for the purpose of advertising and promoting a range of products and services.

Made in Japan, sold in Britain 54,400 Japanese live in Britain. Japanese like Britain. They find it strange, but they like it. Helen, one of only 70 “office ladies” – junior women managers – in Britain, is happy. She is in London as part of a scheme to give office ladies overseas experience. “When I come back to Japan, I have to live with my family,” she says. “There are few amusements and we can’t be relaxed because all Japanese are very busy”. The Japanese appreciate the space, the more relaxed atmosphere and the longer holidays, but they also experience some difficulties: the most obvious is the language. Mr Kojima has lived in Wales for two years, and still has problems. “The language is very difficult, but the staff are very experienced at explaining to the Japanese”, he says. “I can understand the explanations, but I can’t understand when they talk to each other”. Besides the language, there are also cultural differences which can make life difficult. Mr Stone says “the British like arguments, the Japanese don’t. They dislike raising the opposite opinion. In Japan everyone respects the opinion of the majority”. 1 What is Helen’s job title? Describe her job as you understand it. 2 What problems does Mr Kojima have? 3 Do you think it is easy or difficult for Japanese to mix with British people socially?

1 Read the text and get ready to discuss it in class Vocabulary: research - исследование rate of heart disease – процент сердечно-сосудистых заболеваний ancient Greeks – древние греки add – добавлять to reduce - уменьшать Why are the French so lucky? That was the question medical researchers wanted to answer. The French eat much more cheese than other Europeans but they have the lowest rate of heart disease. Cheese is bad for the heart because, like butter and cream, it has a lot of fat. The results of research are surprising, and good news for wine lovers everywhere. The French are also the biggest wine drinkers in Europe and drinking wine with food reduces the risk of heart attack. And if you are not a wine lover? No problem, a daily aspirin has the same result. The ancient Greeks were also lucky, it seems. Their diet of olive oil, garlic, fish, vegetables, and bread was very healthy. They ate very little meat, fat, or sugar. The experts today tells us to eat less meat and more vegetables, fruit, fish, pasta, bread, and potatoes. Chicken is healthier than beef because it has less fat. Garlic, the basis of French aioli, Spanish gambas al ajillo, Italian bruschetta and Greek tzatziki, also has a good effect on the heart, as well as other benefits, which is perhaps why the ancient Greeks ate so much of it. So, if you love your heart, add a little more garlic and wine to your diet. 2 Speak about your eating habits (10 sentences) and prepare 5 questions to ask your mates about theirs in class. 5 Discussing video/audio 1 Do you like dining out?

Men and women do things differently. Ann is a managing director of Speakeasy Training, a consultancy that runs courses for men and women working together. She describes a few key differences between men and women in the workplace. The male approach to business is comparative and direct. Personal status and a focus on the individual are important. The female method is collaborative. Lateral thinking, as well as goodwill of the individual, are also of great importance. Men like to talk about their personal experiences or discuss “masculine” topics such as cars and sport. Women tend to talk about staff problems and personal matters. Men’s humour can be crucial – a man’s joke usually has a victim. Female humour is less hurtful. A woman often jokes against herself. The male approach is to go to the heart of the problem, without taking into account secondary consideration. The female preference is to look at various options. Many men have a female style of working. Equally, many women have a male approach. As Ann says many of the current management theorems – flatter organizations, empowerment, managing by consensus – have a female style to them. 2 Answer the following questions: 1 Do you think the male way of speaking does not encourage discussions? 2 Is it possible for men and women to laugh at the same things? 6 Revision 1 Fill in the gaps with the following words and word combinations: wide range, hard, sad, fed, harder, scored, extremely, type, embarrassed, support, hardly, include, painting, charge, mixed 1 My brother is happy because he _____________ a goal yesterday! 2 I am _____________ up with boys honestly. 3 Do you _____________ the school football team? 4 Lucy is not going to call Dave because he is not her _____________. 5 Don’t help me as I will be ___________. 6 The bill didn’t _______________ the service _______________. 7 Beth works _____________than her boyfriend. 8 The Golden Spoon offers a ___________ of _______________ tasty food. 9 I worked so ___________ that I could _______________ slept last night. 10 How was he involved in _______ football teams? 11 Tom feels _____. 12 There are some Thai ____ on the wall. 2 Choose the correct answer: 1 I’d like __________from you soon. a hear b to hear c hearing d be hearing 2 Would you like ____________to the theatre with me? a go b going с be going d to go 3 After __________ that Kris was playing the piano, Lucinda went to his concert. a hearing b be hearing с was hearing d hear 4 I go to the cinema in the evening after ______________dinner. 136
