Tapescripts Sally: Well, you know Jenny loves horses so she has decided to take horse-riding lessons. And Lisa’s like me. She doesn’t like hiking or rafting. She’s chosen to take painting classes. Paul: It’s funny! We’ve all chosen different things. Sally: I know. It will be strange not being together all day.
Module 7 ― In the spotlight Unit 7a ― Ex. 6 (p. 67) Two of the most famous female skaters in Russia are Irina Slutskaya and Ekaterina Gordeeva. Both of these women have competed for years in different events and have won many championships around the world.
Robert: Sandals? That’s a good idea. I hadn’t thought of that and I passed the shoe shop three times! Marie: Don’t worry. I’m sure she’ll like the recipe book. What did Natalie get your mum? Robert: She got her a bracelet. Marie: That must have been expensive. Robert: I don’t think so. She got it from the jeweller’s on our street. He makes everything himself so he is cheaper. Marie: And your stepsister? Robert: Sara got her her favourite movie from the video shop. I think mine is the worst ... Marie: Oh stop worrying. It’s a lovely present. Plus, it’s the thought that counts!
Module 10 ― Healthy body, healthy mind Irina Slutskaya was born in 1979 and began skating at the age of four. She quickly became a champion in woman’s singles skating. She has won a record seven European titles and two world titles, so far. As people say, Slutskaya is the most talented jumper of all the female athletes in the world. She was the first woman to land a triple-triple jump in competition. Ekaterina Gordeeva is probably the most loved female skater in Russia. Born in 1971, she also began skating at the age of four. Gordeeva was not as successful as a single skater and became a pair’s team with Sergei Grinkov. They won two Olympic gold medals and four world championships. Sadly, her career in pair’s skating ended when her partner and husband, Grinkov died from a heart attack at the age of 28.

Module 9 ― Shopping time Unit 9b ― Ex. 6 (p. 89) Robert: Hi Marie. Sorry I’m late. I’ve been all over town looking for a present for my mum as it’s Mother’s Day tomorrow ... Marie: Yeah, I know. I got mine this morning. What did you get her? Robert: I got her a recipe book. She loves cooking so I think she’ll like it. Anyway, the bookshop is right next to her work so she can exchange it if she likes. What about you? Marie: I got her a lovely blouse from Lucy’s Boutique. It is that small clothes shop on Marshall street and my brother Andy got her a pair of sandals for the beach. They’re really nice.

Yes, you’ll find her number in the telephone book. Tell Ann we want a nice bouquet for the occasion, around 10-15 pounds. I’ll pay her tomorrow morning if that’s ok with her. Ok.
