Listening task

Stage 4

Remember that there is no formal listening test in the


Trinity Grades 3 and 4 exam. The listening practice in
the this book is here for three main reasons:

Play the recording a first time. If you judge that most


students have managed to hear a good proportion of
the answers, get them to compare their answers in
pairs, then play the recording again and get them to
check with their partner a second time. However, if
you think that, after the first time, a lot of students
havent managed to hear most of the answers (look
out for blank faces!), then play it a second time before
they check answers in pairs, then play it a third time,
and let them compare again in pairs after this.

to provide examples of target language (grammar,


vocabulary and functions) in context. These
examples are usually highlighted in the Grammar
& Practice section that follows
to give learners a chance to hear typical exam
conversations
to provide practice in this skill.
Its important that you point out to learners that they
dont need to worry too much about the listening
since it will not be formally tested in the exam at this
level.
Stage 1
If theres a picture to illustrate the topic, elicit
information from your students which will help
prepare them for what theyre going to listen to, e.g.
in Unit 1, page 9, the photo of Kelvin can be used as a
prompt to ask student who the boy might be, where
he lives and what kind of life he leads.
Stage 2
Tell students what kind of conversation theyre going
to be listening to, e.g. a candidate and examiner
talking about the candidates topic, or a radio
presenter talking about the local entertainment
events.
Stage 3
Before students listen, go through the task/s they
have to do while listening, using the following
procedure.
1 Get students to read the instructions.
2 Ask students to volunteer to tell you what they
have to do; this could be in the students first
language (L1) if you are teaching in a monolingual environment and you speak the L1
yourself.
3 Select a student who you are reasonably sure will
have understood what to do, and ask her/him to
explain to the class.
4 Check that she/he gives the correct instructions!
Give further clarification yourself, if necessary.
5 Give students a further chance to ask questions
about what they have to do, or the meaning of
vocabulary items in the task/s.

Stage 5
Now elicit answers from students. If all students agree
on an answer to a question, and it is the correct
answer, confirm that its correct. However, where there
is disagreement on the correct answer, write all the
possible answers that students give you for that
question on the board, put a big question mark next
to them, and tell students that, in a minute, youll
replay that part of the recording so that they can listen
again. Finish eliciting answers for all the questions in
the task, then go back to the answers that are in doubt
and, one at a time, replay the relevant parts of the
recording, repeatedly if necessary, until all students
agree on the correct answer. At this point, you can rub
out the other possible answers on the board, leaving
only the correct one for that question.
Stage 6
You could play the recording one last time, now that
students have all the answers, so that they can listen
with a new level of understanding. You will have to
decide whether its appropriate to do this, or not; it
could be that, if students have had to listen
repeatedly to various parts of the recording in Stage
5 in order to agree on answers, they wont be very
enthusiastic about listening yet another time.

Brainstorming vocabulary and ideas

Speaking tasks

Brainstorming is a good way to introduce an activity,


and is of ten suggested in the procedures for each
unit in this book. The advantages of starting an
activity with a brainstorming session are:

Generally encourage learners to speak as much


English as they can, although at this level it is
unrealistic to expect learners not to resort to their L1
when they need explanation and help. However,
there will be times that you will need to insist on
English only, especially during speaking tasks. There
are three types of speaking task in the book:

it helps to get learners focussed on the topic of


the task to follow it helps learners revive
vocabulary that they know, but havent used
recently
it provides a chance for peer teaching i.e.
working in groups, students will share words and
expressions with each other
it gives you a chance to see what your learners
know and what knowledge gaps exist
it demonstrates a way for learners to approach
their learning and (by your writing their ideas on
the board) how to organise their learning.
Stage 1
Give students a specified time limit to think together
(in pairs or small groups) and to make a list of all the
vocabulary they can connected with the subject in
hand. Make it clear that they should also be prepared
to provide an explanation about what the
word/phrase means. Encourage learners to explain to
each other in their group what words mean if they
are new to other members of the group.
Stage 2
Now ask students to tell you their words/phrases
from Stage 1. Write them up on the board as they do
so. Its important, here, that, if students are not
familiar with a word/phrase that another student
gives, they ask about the meaning; when this arises,
the student who gives the word/phrase in question
should also try and explain it obviously, if she/he
has difficulty doing this, you will need to help. As you
write on the board, demons t rate different ways of
organising ideas visually. For example, you could put
simple column headings or draw a mind map.
Stage 3
If there are target vocabulary items that need to be
introduced, e.g. because later tasks depend on them,
and they didnt come up in Stage 2, introduce them
now yourself. How you do this will depend on the
vocabulary itself, e.g. some items will be best
introduced through pictures, others by explaining
the meaning and eliciting from students the
word/phrase.

1 Structured practice of particular language


forms or vocabulary
These usually follow vocabulary and grammar
focus sections of the book. During this kind of
speaking practice, it is important that learners are
actually using the target structure or vocabulary in
order to achieve the task. You will need to monitor
to make sure this is the case. If not, encourage
learners to use the new language. Equally, dont
insist on correcting other errors at this stage; the
important thing is to get the target structure
correct.
2 Freer speaking practice
This kind of speaking task doesnt requite learners
to use any particular structure. Learners will talk
about topics which are typical exam topics, but
they are free to use the language they think
necessary. These tasks are intended to encourage
fluency, so theres no need to insist on complete
accuracy while they are completing the task.
3 Exam practice
These provide a chance for learners to practise
answering typical exam questions. Each task
focuses on a certain stage of the interview, and on
a particular skill or exam technique. The aim of this
kind of practice is to help your learners to become
more familiar with what the interview entails and
to help them prepare for likely questions. Its
important that this kind of practice is followed up
with a feedback phase. This can be peer feedback
which learners give to each other, plus more
general feedback from you on things that you
noticed while monitoring.
The procedure suggested on page 6 applied mainly
to the fluency focussed practice mentioned above
(types 2 and 3), but may occasionally also apply to
type 1.

Stage 1

Stage 4

Start off by giving a model yourself of what students


have to do, for example, where they have to tell one
another about their own personal experiences in
relation to the subject, tell them about a relevant
experience that you have had. You could choose a
reliable student from the class to go through the
activity with you before the rest of the class start.

When students have finished Stage 3, ask them if


they noticed anything that they themselves or their
partner did particularly well and get them to tell the
class (in this way, they are reflecting on their own
performance and that of their peers). After this, go
through the points for praise that you wrote on the
board, followed by the points for improvement. Dont
mention which student/s made the individual
mistakes; instead, elicit the correct version from all
the students and correct it on the board.

Stage 2
Give students the chance to prepare for what theyre
going to talk about. For fluency-type speaking tasks,
students will usually be preparing alone. Set a time
limit, e.g., five minutes, and encourage them to make
notes to organise their thoughts and to help them
with what theyre going to say, but not to write a
script. Make it clear that, during this preparation
phase, they can consult you about vocabulary they
need, etc., but that during the speaking phase that
will follow, they cant. While they are preparing, you
should circulate, helping and answering questions as
necessary.
Stage 3
Students now perform the speaking phase. Explain
that you will be listening to them during this phase,
but you will not be answering questions. Emphasise
that the aim here is for them to practise speaking
fluently, without interrupting their flow to ask about
how to say something. While they are speaking,
monitor and make notes about any aspects that you
think they do particularly well, and also any aspects
that could be improved, including grammar and
vocabulary mistakes that you hear. If students try and
ask you for help while you are monitoring, tell them
that you will help them afterwards, but, for the
moment, they should try and say it in a different way.
Make sure that learners are not simply reading the
notes that they made in the preparation stage. In
some cases, it is better for learners to close their
notebooks altogether once they are ready to speak.
When they are approaching the end of this phase,
start writing the points you have noted up on the
board. Put them in two columns, perhaps headed by
a smiling face for the points for praise and an
unsmiling/frowning face for the points for
improvement.

Stage 5
Now give students an opportunity to ask you about
things they may have realised they didnt know how
to say when they were doing the speaking phase.
Answer these queries and write the words/phrases
they want to know on the board.
Stage 6
Now get students to repeat the speaking phase
(Stage 3 above) with a different partner/s. The aim of
repeating this phase is that, after the correction and
query phases (Stages 4 and 5 above), they have a
chance to improve their performance in the task.

Trinity Takeaway
At the end of each unit, the Trinity Takeaway sections
provide the students with useful examiner/candidate
language for the exam. Its important that you point
out to learners that they mustnt memorise the minidialogues, but use them as examples of the type of
conversation they will have with the examiner.
There is also a section a the end of the book with
further examples of examiner/candidate language,
which are recorded.
After listening, you can:
ask students to read the mini-dialogues out loud
to practise question/answer intonation
ask students to write similar mini-dialogues using
different vocabulary from the unit.

Pronunciation Prof
In the SB a character presents the pronunciation activity
which is connected to the grammar and vocabulary
in the unit. At this level, it is useful to focus on a few
sounds, to establish the basics of good pronunciation.
All pronunciation exercises are recorded.

Diagnostic test
Guidance for teachers
The test should be done in class. Any number of students can take the test at the same time.
Photocopy the Diagnostic test answer sheet and give one to each student. Students select their answers from the
options given on pages 8-9 of their coursebooks. The CD should be played without interruption.
It is important to understand that the Diagnostic test is not a precision instrument. It will help you in deciding
whether particular students are in a position to start preparing for a Grade 3 or Grade 4 examination. It will help
you in the sense that it tests listening comprehension and receptive knowledge of appropriate responses to
questions. However, to this information you must add your own knowledge of the students speaking skills, and
additionally for ISE I, their productive writing skills and their reading skills. The test is designed to determine
whether students are ready to start preparing for a specific examination not whether they are ready to take it.
When assessing students readiness, you, as the teacher, must also add your knowledge of the individual student
in terms of her/his application, motivation and normal rate of progress.
The questions are distributed as follows:
Questions 1 20 relate to the Grade 3 syllabus.
Questions 21 40 relate to the Grade 4 syllabus.

ANSWERS Open answers

Some learners find giving and understanding


directions difficult even in their first language. For
this reason, you may want to introduce this activity
in learners first language (for monolingual groups).
Give learners a chance to become familiar with the
map by asking them to find places and following
directions in their L1 first. After a few minutes, they
should be familiar enough with the map to be able
to start this listening task. While listening, pause the
audio after each chunk of information to allow
learners time to follow the instructions. At the end,
once they have found the answer, you can play the
whole audio uninterrupted.

This concept may seem a little odd or difficult to


some learners at first, so provide a few simple
examples of sentence stress using the same system

with a drill exercise or by getting students to make a
similar exercise of their own.

It is worth spending some time before going into this


listening task explaining that there are many different
ways of saying the same thing. Elicit from learners
how they might ask for help from someone, and why
some ways of asking are better than others. A general
discussion about how politeness can be expressed
(choice of words, intonation, grammar) will also help
them understand the point of this activity.

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE:
This activity will have more meaning if learners know
a few things about these people. You could begin by
handing out a photocopy of page (or using an IWB)
with the names covered, and elicit the names from
learners.
Follow up with a few simple questions, like What
do/did they do? or Where are/were they from? Then
go into the listening activity. Make sure that learners
know they only have to match the photos with the
years they dont need to write down other details, yet.
It may be a good idea to have learners do this in pairs
in their notebook first, and then to write the correct
dates and months in the spaces provided when you
go through it together with the class.

Candidates are expected to ask the examiner at least


one question during the exam. Accuracy is important,
but communicating the question is more so; the
word order of questions takes a while for many
learners to master. The aim of this exercise is to raise
awareness that word order in English questions is
important. Dont spend too much time on the rules
of question formation, but try to teach these as
language chunks which can be reused.

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE:

Begin by telling learners that theyre going to hear six


different people, all of whom have a connection with
education. Elicit from them the kinds of people that
these might be (do a spidergram on the board while
eliciting) e.g. student, school pupil, teacher, head
teacher, etc. Get student to look carefully at the list and
make sure they understand that they dont need to
worry about the boxes yet. Make sure they know what
the subjects are in the list. Ask them what other words
they associate with these subjects e.g. geography
cities, mountains, rivers etc. Play the audio and let
learners match. Play a second time, but this time pause
after each speaker to allow learners to check. At this
stage you could check the answers with the class. Ask
learners why they chose to match each speaker with
the subject what words helped them?

Point out to students the importance of learning a


variety of expressions for similar meanings.
ANSWERS 1 I love / 2 I really like / 3 I quite like /
4 I dont like / 5 I cant stand / 6 I hate

b
SUGGESTED PROCEDURE:
Before they listen, you could ask them to look
through the list of subjects and say which they like
and which they dont. Are these subjects all taught at

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE:
Give learners time to read through before hearing
the audio and checking answers. Once youve checked
answers, its important that you:
i) concept check for understanding of the meaning
of can and cant
ii) do pronunciation work on can and cant point
out that can is often a weak form, whereas cant
is the main sentence stress:
e.g. contrast: I can play the piano with I cant play
the piano.

Candidates need to ask the examiner a simple


question. You may choose to use this exercise as a
diagnostic exercise and follow up with remedial work
on question forms as necessary. Alternatively,
introduce with presentation of question forms before
going through the exercise.
ANSWERS 1 What time do you start school? /
2 What time is your first lesson on Tuesday? / 3 When
is your lunch break? / 4 What time do you get home
from school? / 5 What lessons do you have on
Monday morning? / 6 What is your favourite lesson? /
7 Can you play music? / 8 Can you speak a foreign
language? / 9 What lessons dont you like? / 10 Do
you have homework every day?

Listen through the audio again from 2b) on page 25


and ask learners if can/cant is stressed or not. Its
worth spending time on pronunciation drills which
will help with both recognition and natural
production of these forms.

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE:

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE:

This is a good opportunity for learners to practise


their dictionary skills. These skills are important to
develop at this level, as they will need them
throughout their language learning. Note that there
are other activities in this book which require
dictionaries, so its important that learners have a
good dictionary with them in class. Focus learners
attention on pronunciation as well as meaning. Once
they are sure of the meanings of the word in the
word pool, they can begin the pair work based on the
table they made in their notebooks in c). Monitor and
provide feedback at the end.

Ask learners to refer to the examples form a) to help


them complete the table. Once they have done this,
focus also on the pronunciation of the contracted
form. Its worth drilling these forms with the whole
class a few times so that they get a feel for it.

can insist more on correct question formation. It can

swapping each others question list and checking for
grammatical accuracy. However, dont spend too
much time on this. This emphasis is on speaking, and
you need to get learners to speak as much as possible.

ANSWERS
Open answers

Let learners read the advice at the top of the page


first. Before they listen to the recorded questions, go
round the class asking for learners own examples of
questions for each subject area. One example for
each is enough. Dont worry too much at this stage
about correct question formation. Now do the
listening task and go through it together. During
checking, dont forget to ask learners why they chose
their answers. In some cases there may be more than
one possible match.

page 35

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE:
Some students may be tempted to write notes down
in their book, but discourage this. At this point you
want to encourage speaking and listening to each
other rather than writing. Half a minute is plenty of
time for learners to think about what they want to
say, then divide the class into pairs (A & B). Ask B to
ask A first and then swap roles. Monitor and provide
feedback at the end.

Divide the class into pairs (A & B). Ask B to ask A first

Dear Chai,

ANSWERS
Id like to be a Maths teacher or a German teacher. Im
not sure. I like maths and I can speak German quite
well. My Maths teacher is Mrs Rigby. Shes very helpful
and kind. Id like to do her job. My mum was a German
teacher years ago. I think she is a good teacher.

Thanks for your letter. Im glad to help. England has


four seasons. Winter is from December to February.
Its very cold and wet. Sometimes it snows. Spring is
from March to May. The weather is sunnier than
winter. Summer is usually quite hot. Autumn is from
September to November. Its cold and windy.
My favourite season is summer. The days are long and
bright and warm. Whats the weather like in Thailand?
Write soon,

SAMPLE ANSWERS
Nurses do a very important job. They work in
hospitals and they help look after patients. Its hard
work because they work many hours. They often start
work early in the morning or work through the night.
Nurses check patients and give their medicine.
Nurses are important because they help patients
keep comfortable and get better. Doctors know what
patients need, but nurses help the patients every day.
When I leave school, Im going to be a nurse.

SAMPLE ANSWERS
Hi Mark,
Of course I can help you. In Scotland winter is very
cold. We often have snow. People go skiing. Spring is
quite cold and it rains a lot. Then we have summer.
Summer in Scotland isnt like summer in Australia. It
isnt very warm, but many people go camping!
Autumn starts around September. The countryside is
full of beautiful colours. Its my favourite season. I like
walking in Autumn.
I hope that helps!
Yours,
Angus

A teacher is a nice job. It isnt well-paid, but its


interesting. You can help children and thats very
important.

Refer learners to the Focus box before they do this


listening activity. Before going into the listening, you
may want to get learners to practise using these words
for very good and very bad by asking them to think
of their own examples. Alternatively, you can leave this
as a follow up activity between this listening task and
exercise 3. Make sure learners have read through
sentences 1-3 before listening. Elicit from learners
what may make a holiday terrible or wonderful.

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE:
With closed books, elicit from learners any types of

need to explain what receipts are and why we use
them.
ANSWERS 1 B / 2 C / 3 D / 4 A / 5 F / 6 E

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE:
Once pairs have worked on this, do feedback with

randomly. Then get the class to put the words once
more into categories not necessarily under the
heading of types of shop but other categories e.g.
food, clothing, expensive, cheap etc.

Ask learners to read the Focus box. Give a few


examples of your own for learners to hear. Point out
that but is usually a weak form. Now let learners
practise in pairs. Divide the class into pairs (A & B).
Ask B to speak first and then swap roles. Monitor and
provide feedback at the end.

Explain to learners that they will hear the audio twice.
The first time they should simply identify the kind of
shopping the speakers are talking about. What words
did they hear that helped them decide?
Before listening the second time, check that learners
understand whats meant in this context by price,
quality, choice and friendliness. Whats most important
for them when they go shopping? Can they think of
synonyms for these words? Then play the audio and
do the exercise.

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE:
You might need to explain to some learners that they
need to refer to the shopping bags at the bottom of the
page. Point out to learners that these are only
suggestions, though they can use their own ideas, too.
Encourage the use of the conjunctions but and
because (see Focus boxes). As with all pair work,
monitor for problems and provide feedback at the end.
ANSWERS Open answers

Now ask learners to read through again and underline


all the adjectives that are used. Give an example of
how they might compare the two department stores
using the comparative form. Finally, divide the class
into pairs (A&B). Ask them to take turns comparing
the two stores using the information given. Monitor

b
SUGGESTED PROCEDURE:
See Procedures file for structured practice of particular
forms. This might seem like quite a complicated task
for some learners, so it is best to take them through it
stage by stage. First, ask learners just to read what
the two people are saying. Ask them simple
questions to check comprehension e.g.
What kind of shop are they talking about?
Which shop has lots of customers?
If necessary, you can write on the board other prompts
to help students to use all the adjectives in the box.
Supersaver:
Oh look! Heres a dress like the one that Beyonc wore
on TV last night.
The staff are so nice and polite here!
Its got eight floors and twelve departments!
This place is huge! Wow!
Hanleys:
These blouses and skirts are so old-fashioned!
The staff are so rude!

Follow up with choral drills to practise weak forms


(see the Procedures file).

page 47

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE:
As this kind of organising ideas may be new to
students, it may be worth going through another
example together as a whole class activity before
learners do it individually.
Choose a topic and build a mind map on the board,
eliciting suggestions from the class. If youre short of
class time, the first part of this task could be done at
home, so that learners are ready to speak when they
next come to class.
As with all pair work, divide the class into pairs. Get A
to ask B, then after three to four minutes tell them to
swap roles. Monitor and provide feedback at the end.
ANSWERS Open answers

The service here is terrible!


Its only got two floors. Theres not much here, is there?

Before letting students try this pair work activity, you
may want to give an example yourself, choosing a
student to work with you as the waiter/waitress.
Divide up the class into A and B, A as the customer.
Give students about four minutes before swapping
roles. Monitor and provide feedback.

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE:
You need to focus learners attention on the examples
given here from the listening. One way to do this is to
ask learners to close their books. Write these sentences
on the board, but with the nouns missing. e.g.
Some people like thicker...
Theyre sweeter...
Theyre the tastiest...

ANSWERS Open answers

Ask learners if they can remember what the chef was


referring to with these adjectives. Then bring their
attention to the adjective forms themselves. Now
show them how the examples can help them find the
rules by completing number 1 from the table together.
Finally, give learners a few minutes on their own to
find the rules and complete the rest of the table.

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE:
Begin this by getting learners to do the activity in
reverse: learners read through the answers and think
of the questions that might prompt them. Now play
the audio. Pause after each question to give students
time to decide. When you go through again to check,
make sure you ask learners to explain the reason for
their choices.

Im here in England with my family. Were on our

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE:
Divide the class into pairs, A & B, and ask A to ask five
questions first and B to answer. The partner asking
the questions should also be marking the
performance of the student answering. Ask learners
to be fair and not too critical, but to be honest, too.
To make this work, it might be best to split up usual
partners and get learners to work with someone new.
At the end, get feedback from the learners who
played the examiner and discuss how students can
improve their performance. All of this will help raise
learners awareness of how others understand them
when they speak English. See Procedures file for

Ask learners to read through the questions. Remind
them what these time phrases mean and ask them if
they can think of any others. The time phrases in the
second question (once a week etc.) may be new to
some learners, so elicit from the class what they think
these phrases mean. You could ask them for
synonymous expressions for example, once a week
could be every Monday or at the weekend as these
are used in the audio. Now play through the audio
and let learners answer. When you check, pause the
audio at the relevant section and ask learners what
they heard that helped them make their choice.

questions that occur to them. If they have prepared a
mind map for their topic (see unit 7 page 43 of the

them make more interesting questions. For the last
few pair work activities in the book, try to get students
to work with classmates they havent yet worked with.
Divide the class into pairs, A & B, and ask A to speak to B
first and then swap roles after about 3 or 4 minutes.

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE:
Point out that it is perfectly normal not to understand
someone or hear them well even when we speak in
our first language it often happens. What learners need
to know is how to cope in these situations. This exercise
practises useful phrases for getting clarification.
You could do work on appropriate intonation of these
phrases correct intonation can make all the difference
between a polite request and sounding rude. Use the
audio as a model, or provide a model yourself, and get
learners to repeat using the same intonation. Practise
with choral drilling with different groups of learners
(girls and boys / left and right side of the class etc.)

5 I cant drive in this. I cant see anything. Lets stop
here and wait for it to clear.
6 Brrr! Its so cold. Oh wow look at the river. There
are people walking on it!
7 Its so dark, but its only three in the afternoon. I
think its going to rain very soon.
8 Can you hear the thunder? Quick! Run inside. I
dont want to be struck by lightning.

Angela: Its raining now but this morning, honestly,


the weather was so different. It was warm and sunny
like a summers day. I mean, my daughters were in
the garden sunbathing! I wasnt outside. It was too
hot for me. And now look at it! Never mind, I think
the rains stopping now, and its getting warm again.
Ruth: Last winter it was really freezing here. The
children were outside in the snow almost every day.
They were so happy. But this year its raining all the
time. It never stops. I hope we have some snow by
New Years Eve.
Mike: It was really foggy yesterday morning. I was on
the bus to work and I couldnt see a thing out of the
window. I was late for work because the bus was so
slow. I was late again today, too but today it was
because of the snow! And its still snowing now, look.
Funny weather!

Lets go and leave out suitcase in the cabin, and

Bruno: We came back from Corfu yesterday. We were


there for two weeks. It was great. We stayed in a
fantastic hotel with a pool, but we didnt swim there.
We walked to the beach every day and swam in the
sea. Well, I swam. My mum and dad just slept on the
beach all day. They were so lazy!
Clare: About ten years ago we went camping in
Wales. It was terrible! It rained every day. One night
our tent fell and we got soaking wet. My brother
cooked, but he wasnt very good, so we ate beans
every night. No, we werent happy at all!
Luke: We went there last month for a weekend break.
It was lovely. We were in a hotel not far from the Eiffel
tower, but we didnt do any sightseeing. We just
walked around the city in the day, and in the evening
we ate great food and drank wonderful French wine. I
was a bit disappointed because I wanted to go to the
Louvre and another museum, but they werent open.

Last year we were in Scotland for our summer


holiday. Scotland is lovely, but our holiday was awful.
Dad didnt want a beach holiday. He wanted
something different. We decided to go camping.

Mathis: I always buy online you know, Internet


shopping. It isnt cheaper than the high street shops,
but theres a bigger choice. Theres rock and pop and
hip hop everything. Its easier, too. I just find what I
want on the computer and click the mouse! I think
Internet shopping is great... but my mum and dad dont!
Chloe: I dont like the big supermarkets. I know
theyre cheaper than the market, but you dont know
what youre buying. You cant smell the fruit and
vegetables because theyre in plastic packets. The
high street shops are friendlier. People speak to you,
you know, and you can have a nice chat with the
shop keeper. I like that.
Ellen: I never buy things on the Internet because I
want to try them on before I buy them. You cant
understand from the computer if it fits you. I like to
go to the high street shops. Theyre more expensive
but the quality is better than the market and the
clothes are nicer.

them are from...
Examiner: And where do you get them from? Do you
buy them?
Girl: Yes, I buy them from the Internet, mostly. Some
of my friends have old records, too, and I buy from
them. Sometimes people even give me...
Examiner: Why do you buy them? What is it you like
about old records?
Girl: Oh thats easy... because I love music and I love
old things. When I was small I was interested in the
records that we had at home, and I always wanted...
Examiner: What are your favourite records?
Girl: Oh, my Beatles records. I have about 15 and I
play them all the time. I love their music, and so does
my dad. When he was younger, he was...

First you need to make the bread. You need some flour,
salt and water. Mix them in a big bowl. Then take the
mixture and roll it out make sure its very thin. Some
people like thicker bread. I hate that. I always make the
thinnest bread I can make. Next, add the tomato
sauce, and then add onions I use red onions because
theyre sweeter than white onions. Im not very keen
on white onions. I usually add mushrooms, too. I use
the smallest mushrooms I can find, because theyre the
tastiest. Finally, add the cheese. Mozzarella, of course
thats the best! But I dont buy the most expensive
Mozzarella I get the cheapest in the supermarket. Its
good enough. Now, its ready to go in the oven. Bake it
at 200 degrees for about 20 minutes.

Ralph: I dont often go out at weekends. Its always


raining. I usually stay inside. I like to do my hobbies or
to play games on my computer. I sometimes go to
football matches on Saturday with my dad - we both
love Manchester United. It always gets dark early in
the evenings, so I stay in and watch TV. I love the
snow, but it never snows where we live. So my family
always go skiing in Italy for a few days. I love skiing.
That way I see some snow every year.
Antonia: On Saturday morning I often go shopping
with my mum. We go to the market and at this time
of year there are always lots of fresh fruit and
vegetables. Its a lovely place to be. But the thing I
like to do most of all at the weekend is go for a walk
in the park. The days are long, so we usually stay
there for hours on a Saturday evening. We sometimes
have a picnic, too. On Sunday we dont do very much.
My parents always read the Sunday newspapers.
After that my dad usually does jobs like washing the
car or gardening. I just sit in the garden and sunbathe!

Examiner: So where do you work, Liang?


Liang: I work in a shop with sports equipment and
clothes. Its a shop in the centre of my town.
Examiner: And how often do you work there?
Liang: I usually work there every Saturday, but
sometimes I work on Thursday, too. But thats only in
the school holidays.
Examiner: Who do you work with?
Liang: I work with three other young assistants. We
have a very nice boss.
Examiner: And what do you do, exactly?
Liang: Well, I do a bit of everything, except take

money. I never take any money from customers. I


help them find what they want, and also help keep
the shop tidy.
Examiner: And do you like the job?
Liang: Yes, its okay. I have fun, and I can earn some
money, too. Its good to meet people, and I like giving
them advice about what to buy, because I know a lot
about sports.

Craig: I started piano 4 years ago. I can play very well


for my age because my teacher makes me practise
very hard. I practise every day and I have a lesson
twice a week. I like playing on my own or with my
teacher, but I hate playing in front of other people
because I always play badly then.
Alice: I joined the girls team six months ago. I love it.
We practise three times a week in the evenings, and
we play against another team once a week, every
Saturday. Im usually the goalkeeper because I cant
run very fast. I like it when we play the boys team,
because we always win! They play terribly... its so
funny.
Adam: I started five years ago. My dad teaches me
he knows a lot about boats. Every weekend we go to
a lake near our house and practise, and once a year
we hire a boat in Greece and go slowly around the
islands. I cant do it very well yet because Im young,
but I just love the sound of the wind and the sea. Its
great.
45

a Well, I do play golf a little bit, but Im not very


good at all.
b Yes, I do. I travel a lot for work, but I also like going
to new places on holiday.
c I like detective stories. You know, about crime and
the police. I read a lot of those.

Carmel: I can see two women. Theyre wearing masks


and hats. Theyre scientist. I think theyre trying to
find out something. Perhaps theyre going to find a
cure for a disease. Good scientists are hardworking
and clever. Their job is very useful. Im going to be a
scientist one day.
Laurant: I can see a person I think its a man. Hes
wearing a helmet and a big coat. Hes putting out a
fire. Theres a house on fire and hes putting it out. He
isnt going to save the house. The fire is very big. I
dont think thats a nice job. Its very dangerous and
its important but I think Im going to teach, like my
dad. Its much safer!
Fen: Theres a man at the top of a very tall building.
Im not sure what hes doing. Maybe hes going to
clean the building or fix it. This is a very dangerous
and difficult job. Hes very brave. Im not going to do

Im not brave or strong! Im going to be a journalist.
