Contractions: will = 'II, will not = won't

Going to and will are the most common future

decisions, since I'm going to help you sounds
like a plan, not an instant decision, and it
doesn't make clear when = I'm going to help

Many students find spoken English difficult. Two reasons for this are:
1 silent letters: e.g., the 0 and L in: should /shud/, could /kud/, would /wud/.
The T in: shouldn't /shudn/, couldn't / k u d n / , wouldn't / w u d n / .
2 linking: many words seem to join together. For example, words ending with a consonant
sound link to words beginning with a vowel sound: n o t j t _ a l l , l_getjj(3_at_eight.

PROBLEMS
A

Dear Lori,
I'm 22 years old and I'm in my second year of college.
My problem is that I want to leave. I don't want to be
a student. I'm a very independent person and I love to
travel. I need to be free and I want to travel and see the
world. What should I do? - Free Spirit

5 Dear Lori,
My son is 19 and he has a great girlfriend and a baby
son who is a year old. He works hard and is a good father
to my grandchild, but he doesn't spend enough time with
him and his girlfriend. I'm worried that his girlfriend will
leave him and she'll take the child and I won't see t h e m
again. How can I make my son spend more time with his
family? - Worried Grandma
C Dear Lori,
My father-in-law lives next door to us. He comes in
and out of our house and borrows things when we are
not here. We have no privacy. I always fight with my
husband about my father-in-law. My husband won't talk
to his father about this problem. How can I make him
understand that this is not his house? - Unhappy Wife

D Dear Lori,
I can't find a girlfriend. I am very fussy and
I have a long list of things that I want. No
one is good enough for me. What can I do?
Where can I find a partner? - Lonely Boy
LORI'S REPLIES
1. Q j You shouldn't try to find a girlfriend by
using a checklist. You should date different
people and get to know them. At the moment
you are rejecting girls before you know
anything about them.
2. P j You can't force your son to spend more time with his
family. He has to decide that for himself. You should
continue to visit and support his girlfriend and your
grandchild. That way, if your son and his girlfriend
decide to separate you will still see your grandchild.
3. [ j You should try to find a career that will give you the
opportunity to travel. For example, if you are a teacher of
English, you can live in other places. You shouldn't leave
university right now, but you should choose a profession
that is right for you and your independent spirit.

People give both good and bad advice and m a k e good and bad predictions.
Here are some of our favorites:

1 "I think it's smart to listen to other people's advice,

but at the end of the day,, you're the only one who
can tell you what's right for you." An actress.

4 "I think a simple rule of business is, if you do the things

that are easier first, then you can actually make a lot
of progress." The co-founder of Facebook.

2 "Guitar groups are on the way out2." A music

producer, 1962.
3 "Television won't last because people will soon
get tired of staring at a box every night." A movie
producer, 1946.

5 "The horse is here to stay but the automobile is only a

novelty." Henry Ford's bank manager, 1903.
6 "[By 1985], machines [computers] will be capable of3
doing any work man can do." A newspaper, 1939.
7 "There will never be a bigger plane." An engineer, 1933.
8 "You have to trust in4 something." The co-founder of Apple.

On the anniversary of the terrible tsunami in Japan in March 2011,

I was waiting to board my plane to Japan from Sydney when they announced the earthquake and that Narita
airport was closed. So we were stuck at the airport. The next morning, we left for Japan. It was terrible.

When the earthquake hit, I was chatting with my colleague. First, I thought I was feeling dizzy and asked my
colleague: "Is it shaking, or is it just me?" "Yes, it's shaking," he answered.

I was in a cafe in Tokyo, for a casual meeting with my boss. Cars and taxis were driving along the street, and when
the earthquake hit they started to move up and down like waves on the sea.

I was playing Starcraft 2 on my laptop at home. My team was winning. Then the quake started. I wrote: "We are
having an earthquake here and it's huge. I think this is the big one. Today I'm going to die." My teammate said:
"Please sell your items before you leave." (I didn't sell my itemsI left!)

I was swimming in the pool at my gym. I felt like a goldfish in a bowl. The lifeguard blew her whistle and asked
me to get out of the pool and go home because they planned to close the gym.

H o w to travel together w i t h o u t killing each other!

Traveling with people you don't know

timately can be fun... or a nightmare. Your personality

differences can get multiplied by ten. So here are three things to con; der before you go:

1 Be prepared to c o m p r o m i s e .

3 Do t h i n g s separately s o m e t i m e s .

2 D i s c u s s money.

4 Plan carefully.

T h e r e ' s o n e e x t r a tip. W h a t ' s y o u r r e a c t i o n t o t h e t e x t ?

Be honest about your budget. If you can only spend $60 a night for accommodation, say it
before you go. Also, plan how you intend to share all the other expenses: transportation, food
and entertainment. So, think about this: Is it OK for you to travel with someone who has more
money than you? Would you mind paying a bit extra to help a friend who has less?
Sometimes you'll need to make quick decisions on the road and maybe disagree on what you
want to do. If your personalities and interests are different, you'll have to plan a bit and be flexible
with each other. If one of you is a heavy smoker and the other hates smoke, it's important to find
a solution that satisfies both sides. So, consider this: Can you make concessions when you travel
with others? Would you ever travel with someone who has a few irritating habits?
Use each other after a
plural subject for reciprocal
feelings or actions.
> They are getting tired of
each other.

Spending too much time with each other can be very irritating. Plan to take some breaks from
each other from time to time, especially on a longer trip. Then you can meet for dinner and share
fun stories. So, before traveling ask yourselves: Are you comfortable spending the entire day with
a friend when you travel? Do you need to spend some time alone when traveling?
MMM

> We have to help each other.

There are very few grammatical

differences between U.S. and UK
English. Here's one of them.
Americans often use the Past Simple
in cases where the Present Perfect is
required in the UK.
For example, in the U.S. it's more
common to use the Past Simple with
words like: already, just and recently.
However, even in American English, yet is
more common with the Present Perfect.

Outside North America, taking a gap year to

travel or work abroad is so popular that even
the British royal family has done it. Prince
William, for example, spent his gap year in
Belize, working with the British Army and then
in Chile, as a waiter in a restaurant. Gap years
are still relatively rare in the U.S., but things are
starting to change. We've spoken to six people
and asked them "Is a gap year a good idea?"

Derek I'm very shy. Really, you have no idea how shy I am. So guess how I'm spending my gap year? Teaching

Weird Sophie
The only pec I've ever had was a neurotic cat named Sophie. W h e n Sophie was
still a k i t t e n , she accidentally drank half a bottle of detergent. M o m and I were
desperate, of course, so we took her t o the vet immediately. Sophie didn't
die, but she became very strange after that, like the feline equivalent of Lady Gaga.
For a long time, I was reluctant to let Sophie leave the house,

I knew I couldn't

(1)

keep her inside forever. One day, when she was an adult, I finally decided
that it was t ime for her to be brave and explore the outside world,

,2) I opened

the front door.

Sophie took a few steps and then completely lost her mind. She had never
felt grass,

(3)

she didn't know what t o do. She started to j u m p up and

d o w n like crazy and w o u l d n ' t stop. Sophie only ran back t o the house when
she heard Toby's bark. Toby was only a small, f o u r - m o n t h old p u p p y

{4)

Sophie

was terrified of him. Yes, my cat was afraid of a baby Poodle.

Sophie used to sleep in the sink f r o m t ime to t ime

(5) ,

for some mysterious

reason, she never noticed when the water was running. One night, I was
getting ready t o go to bed and w e n t t o the other r o o m t o answer the
phone. W h e n I came back a few minutes later, Sophie was submerged in the
sink, hypnotized. Cats are supposed to be afraid of water, right? N o t Sophie.
She also loved t o sleep in the washing machine, especially if there were
dirty towels inside. One day, M o m didn't know she was there,

(6)

she almost

closed the door and turned on the machine. That was Sophie's second neardeath experience.
As t ime progressed, Sophie started to believe that she was a guard dog. She
used t o follow strangers around the house and m a k e w e i r d noises. Trouble is, she
couldn't always differentiate between strangers and her owner

(7)

she used

t o b i t e and scratch everyoneincluding myself. Sophie died at the age

of 21. Can you believe it? I wonder h o w she's doing in Cat Heaven. She was a
weird, weird cat,
she was the only true friend I had during
my entire adolescence.

Which sentence best describes

your childhood?

A good vacation is a break from real life, but sometimes they can be
extremely stressful. Here are some hints to help keep y o u cool when
traveling:
1. Reducing stress starts before you leave home. Try to book direct flights
so that you can escape those awful connections. By doing that, you
can avoid long layovers, missed connections or the worst problem:
canceled flights.
2. Traveling can be stressful on any day, but Mondays and Fridays are a
nightmare, especially between 7-9 a.m. and 4-7 p.m. Friday is actually
my favorite day of the week. So do yourself a favor and don't trave
then. Period.
3. Bad things are going to happen when you travel, so don't try to contra
everything. If you're angry, try to g e t r i d of your anger in a calm way
Drink a cup of tea, practice deep breathing or, if you can, try to find
some humor in the situation.
4. Give yourself p l e n t y of time for things right from the start: taking a
c a b to the airport, checking in at the airport, boarding your flight,
renting a car, and finally checking in at your hotel. Remember you
can book online. Remember: the less you rush, the less stressful your
vacation will be.

G Match the bold words in F to their meanings.

H o w TO PASS! TOP TIPS FROM O U R STUDENTS

"Choose subjects you are really into. You have to attend a lot of
classes, so it's much better if you like the subject!" Katia Browning
"Be on time and pay attentionthat's essential! Your teacher will
notice if you're always late." Jerome Manzanillo
"You have to read the syllabus carefully. It's a really big deal, the most
important document you'll get from your professor." George Smith
"Find some time to study every day. 'A little and often' is best. It
doesn't have to be a lot, or even at the same time every day, but you
can't leave it until half an hour before class!" Muhammed Burton
"Get a study buddy so if you miss a class, you can call them to
find out what happened. You can help each other with homework
too." Konstantina Spanos
"If you know you have to write a paper, start working on it early.
When you have a test, prepare for it in advance. You can't learn
everything the night before an exam." Charlotte Spalding

Are you worried about losing your best employees? Here are the best ways to keep them.

I

Take an interest in each person who works for

you. If you show that you are really interested
in the people who work with you, they usually
respond better.
People need to understand the connection
between their work and how it affects other
people in the company and in the world.
Employees will stay if they see that what they
do makes a difference.

Ask what people like about the job and ask

what they need. If you ask people what they
need to stay, they will tell you.

8

Give people tasks that are not too easy for

them. Your best people will get bored if you
don't challenge them.

Talk to your employees about their aspirations

and about what skills they will need in their
careers. If you are clear about what employees
need to do to progress, this will encourage
% them to stay.

Remember that people are always watching

and evaluating you and what you do as the
person in charge. Your employees will be
I comfortable, honest and open if you are too.

Akil's blog: Good communicationor not!

I don't know about you, but in my country (I come
from Bahrain) our family get together every weekend
to have lunch either at my grandparents' house or
in a restaurant. But lately I've noticed a bit of tension
between us(1). For example, grandma can't understand
why her grandkids have to have their phones next to
them , all the time when we eat. Why don't people talk
to each other? And why don't people call her 3i on the
phone anymore?
At the same time, my mom and dad don't understand
why grandma doesn't want to use the laptop they 4
gave her to answer e-mails and look at photos. And...
I don't get why my younger sister and cousins don't
reply to text messages and e-mails. Why are they(6)
so rude to their family, and yet they're talking to their
friends all the time? Then I read this new survey about
communication and technology across generations
and it all seems to make a bit more sense now.
It says that one of the biggest differences is in the way
"millenials" (that's anybody under 25 like my little sister
and cousins) see technology compared with other
generations. For them , technology is totally normal,
Generation
Millenials

Age

Prefer to Communicate

under 25
by text message

part of their identity. They(9) prefer to communicate

using social media like Facebook and Twitter. Taking
away their phones is like cutting off their armslThat's
why my sister won't put down her cell phone.
Then there's "Gen X"that's the generation from 35
to 55, like my mom and dad. For thern 10|, technology
is good for practical things like shopping and
banking online, that sort of thing. But they nl] don't
use technology for socializing. For them, e-mail is the
best way to communicate.
And in between the millenials and Gen X comes "Gen
Y,"who are between 25 and 35 (OK, I confessthat's
me!), and we're big fans of texting. I don't want to
call or instant message, I want to textand I expect
you to respond!
Finally, of course, there are older people (like
grandma!), who prefer to talk on the phone (the socalled "boomers"people over 55), and then, older
still, the "traditionalists" (everyone over 65), who
prefer to meet in person.
So... it doesn't surprise me that we misunderstand
each other! Millenials are great multitaskers and get
things done quickly online, but older generations
wantthem l3) to focus moreon personal relationships.
What do you ,4, think? Have you seen this in your
family too? I'd love to hear your experiences.

Five crazy extreme sports!

A person goes t o the t o p of a rock or cliff and dives into the water and rocks b e l o w h o w crazy is
that? This is called cliff diving!
It's similar t o surfing or skateboarding, but y o u d o it on snow, so it's snowboarding. For those w h o
can't stand waiting for the g o o d weather t o go surfing again, this is a cool option. But be careful, it's
extremely easy to fall!
H o w about hang-gliding? You run off the edge of a cliff and hang f r o m a bar inside a kind of big bag
and fly like that. If y o u feel like f l y i n g w i t h o u t a planethis may be for you!
Or perhaps you prefer j u m p i n g off a bridge, building or m o u n t a i n attached t o a thick elastic band t h a t
lets you go up and down. Can you imagine d o i n g this? A lot of people love bungee j u m p i n g !
Underwater hockey is a new sport. Divers w h o miss being in the water during the winter m o n t h s love
it. W h e n the outside water is t o o cold for diving you just need a snorkel, a stick and a puck and you
and your friends can go t o the local s w i m m i n g pool for a game!

Birthday

Dear all,
It's my 30th birthday in April and I've decided to do something... different! So, I'm writing to
see if any of you want to join me on my adventure. You all know how I adore driving, especially
at high speeds. Well, for the first time ever I'm going to Las Vegas! No, not to drive around the
casinosI hate gambling! I've chosen Vegas because they have an awesome racetrack there.
Check it out at www.letsgoracinq.com. So, who'd like to come with me?There's so much other
stuff to do in Vegas too. If you'd prefer to catch a show, or stay at the hotel and just swim and
relax, or go to the casinos, whatever, that's fine.
If you prefer watching me drive to driving yourself, that's fine too. But I really hope you all
agree to come!! Oh, and remember, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas! So, no matter how
wild you get, nobody back home will know!
So, send me a message to let me know if you can make it.
And don't forget to check out the website before you make your decision!

Blood was rushing t h r o u g h my head, and I couldn't stop smiling. M y legs were
trembling. It was the day that 1 was going to j u m p f r o m the world's highest bungee!
The feeling was surreal and, at the back of my mind, I kept w o n d e r i n g if it was really
happening.
I was interviewed before I j u m p e d and I tried to keep as cool as possible b u t I
couldn't hide the nervousness because this is the world's highest bungee. They t o l d
me t o step on the plank. Slowly m o v i n g t o the edge, I raised my hands and looked
right. There was a signal for me t o have my picture taken. I looked like a total idiot
in the picture. Then the crew said "Here we go!" and then it all happened so fast.
One of t h e m started t o c o u n t down, "5-4-3..."
I had t o stop t h e m because I wasn't ready. "Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,
w u w u w u w u w a i t ! " I shouted. "First a t t e m p t FAILED," I heard someone say over the
walkie-talkie. I had to make sure I didn't screw up the second one. There was no
t u r n i n g back and another failed a t t e m p t w o u l d mean that I was a wuss. "5-4-3-2-1!"
A n d so I jumped... or fell, or whatever you call it. I d i d my best t o stay calm, b u t I
had t o scream. After about five seconds the fall still wasn't over, I had t o take a deep
breath and I screamed again.
I started laughing, I screamed again, and I laughedyes, like a hyena. The j u m p was
over and the crew below met me and removed my harness. M y knees were shaking
and I could still feel the adrenaline and the rush of air on my face f r o m the descent.
M y lips were burning because of the speed of falling. But I didn't care h o w I looked,
because I d i d it! I j u m p e d from a height of 233 meters and fell at 200 kph!
lYuss and to screw up are both
very informal expressions.

How often do you so to the movies?

Great Movies
I'm an avid movie fan. I watch certain movies again and
again, download the soundtrack, read all the reviews and
may even buy the poster on eBay. I even watch French
and Spanish movies with the subtitles off sometimes
But, a tip for you, here's one thing I've discovered: YOL
can guess what a movie will be like from just one wore
in the title. Yes, it's true. Words like "robot," "cyborg" or
"karate" ten times out of ten indicate, well, that the movie
will be terrible. It may make millions at the box office anc
even have a sequel or t w o (How does Cyborgs from Hell II
sound?), but it will never win an Oscar.
Here are the top three words from my blacklist:

COP
If you like adventure movies and detective stories, d:
NOT rent or download movies with the word "cop" in the
title. If you do, here's what you'll see: policemen dying an::
being reincarnated as dogs or maybe teaching three-yea r olds, like the cop played by Arnold Schwarzenegger a fe .
years ago. My favorite title, though, is Scanner Cop, where
the main character can explode people with the power:~
his mind. H o w ' bout that?

FUTURE
Here's my adviceto Hollywood: Ifyoumakeadocumenta
about the future, it's OK to put the word "future" in the
title, of course. I mean, Planet Earth: The Future d o e s r :
sound half bad! But if you make a sci-fi, fantasy or disaste movie, never, ever use the word "future." Much b e t t e r :
find words that are not connected to the plot. Forexamp Avatar is not about computer pictures just like Twei Monkeys, starring Bruce Willis, is not about monkeys.

MONSTER
Do you like comedy movies? Looking for some innoce :
fun? Then how about titles such as Frog Monste ;
from Hell or Monster In the Closet. These are funny, r
scaryI guarantee. But if you like real horror mov e
full of mystery and suspenseyou know, the k
that will make you jump off your seat, promise yo.
never watch anything that has the word "monster"
it. Please. Except Monsters, Inc., originally relee:
by Pixar in 2001, which even people like me feli
love with!

f u t u r i s t s Harry Reid (HR) a n d Penny D u f f (PD) h a v e t o say a b o u t t h e t o p t h r e e questions.
HR: Probably. We've built robots t h a t can, for example, identify themselves when they look in a mirror or
even mimic our emotions according to the quality of our voice, so, yes, I think machines w i l l be able to
f e e l human emotions.
PD: Well, probably not. Consciousness is an exclusive attribute of the human brain and we probably won't
be able to teach robots how to f e e l unt il we know much more about our brain and how it functions.

gP

,
3f

HR: Definitely. Scientists have actually created a computer program t h a t can decode brain activity and
put it into words. So it's going to be relatively easy to capture thoughts and transmit them to another
brain, I suspect.
PD: Maybe. Synthetic telepathy seems like science fiction, I know, but I think it w i l l be possible to
establish some f o r m o f rudimentary communication through electric signals, not words.
HR: Possibly. As I've said on a number of occasions, I think computers w i l l probably be as intelligent
as humans in 2 0 2 0 or so. I f t h a t happens, I ' m pretty sure they're going t o help us f i n d a way to travel
through time.
PD: Certainly. Time travel to the future is an essential characteristic of Einstein's theory of relativity,
and this has been investigated many times by lots of scientists worldwide, so maybe there w i l l be some
form of future time travel. But traveling back to the past is a whole different story. There's no evidence
t h a t this is possible. So, who knows?

Review 1
*
The plot is so unintelligent that it can be described in
a sentence: Girl falls in love with boy, boy dies, girl gets
depressed. Period. Think of all the Hollywood cliches
you've ever heard. They're in this movie. But I bet it'll
be a box office success in the U.S. and abroad.

Review 2
* * * * *
This movie is truly spectacular. If you think a silent movie about
an unsolved murder in 1870 is a recipe for disaster, think again.
The main character (Inspector Reid) is played by George Clooney
with such skill that, honestly, you don't miss hearing the man's
voice. Trap is a classic example of images speaking louder than
words, which perhaps explains why subtitles are used only five
times in this movie.

Review 3
What can you expect from a movie starring Bruce Willis and
Arnold Schwarzenegger? Lots of violence and action scenes,
right? Well, wrong. In Gone, BW and AS reconstruct the events
leading to September 11 with such sensitivity, precision and
attention to detail that you instantly forget they have ever made
another movie. Their interviews with firefighters alone are
worth the price of admission. Gone is a masterpiece of factual
movie-making and it truly deserves to win an Oscar.

Are you looking for a way to make your wedding more interesting and memorable? Last Saturday a crane lifted Helen Gomez anc
James Brandon up into the air on a platform for their wedding ceremony. They got married up there, 160 feet (50 meters) in the
air with twenty surprised, and slightly scared, friends and family members, who did not know what was going to happen. After
they shared their marriage vows, Helen and James did a terrifying bungee jump from the platform.
T h e company called Marriage in the Sky offers more and more exciting weddings like this every year. After the ceremony, the
wedding party all go back down to earth, but then they all go back up again for the reception. At the reception, guests eat a
meal in special chairs wearing safety belts so they are safe and cant fall. The idea of this kind of wedding is to make a day
that really will be both entertaining and unforgettable. You're probably asking yourself, "is this safe?". The company operates
in more than 15 countries in the world, including ones that have strict rules about safety, such as the USA, Canada and
Australia. All these countries are satisfied that these weddings are safe. And... how much does something like this cost:
About US$40,000.

Celebrity RIVALRY!

Even successful people are jealous of each other. In 2 0 0 0 , when Frankie Muniz was just 14 years old
he got a huge opportunity as the star of a TV series called Malcolm in the Middle. The series was a big
hit and Muniz w o n many prizes as the main actor in the show, including a Young Star Award as best
young actor in a comedy TV series.
At the same time, there was another young actor who was also trying to be a success in Hollywood. In
2 0 0 0 , Shia Labeouf was the same age as Muniz and the star of a Disney Channel TV series called Even

Stevens. He was also nominated for the Young Star Award that year, but he lost to Frankie Muniz.
In 2003, Shia got a great opportunity when he was the star of a movie called Holes which got him
more nominations for awards and plenty of new roles in Hollywood. Entertainment

Weekly called Shia

"the next Frankie Muniz." Shia was not happy w i t h this. He has been in competition w i t h Muniz since
they were 12 years old to be the best young actor in Hollywood.
Today, Shia Labeouf is one of the best known and highest paid young actors in Hollywood. Muniz, on
the other hand, is not doing much acting. He is driving racing cars and playing music, but here's the
strange thing: their rivalry continues, and Labeouf o f t e n makes comments about Muniz in interviews
and on Twitter. It just goes to show that even t h e rich and famous get jealous!

The Effect of Birth Order

Birth order and you I

CH Your siblings: you love them, you hate them, you need
them, you don't need them. Birth order, that is, whether you
are the oldest, the youngest or in the middle in your family, can
have an effect on your personality and your family dynamics.
Are you similar to or completely different from your brothers
and sisters? Birth order can help explain why According
to Alfred Adler, an Austrian psychiatrist, birth order has a
profound effect on how you see the world. Here are a few of
the observations that Adler makes.
First born children are natural leadersthey are more
responsible and mature and are more accustomed to adult
company They are often more intelligent than their later born
siblings and they can be aggressive, because they feel they
should be in charge. They like being alone.
Middle children, on the other hand, are often the opposite
of first-born children. They feel they don't have any particular
role in their family so their friends are usually more important

As for the youngest in the family they are often friendly

and sociable. They like to b e with other people and are often
charming. They like to be the center of attention. They are'not
good at being alone and they get bored easily but they have
a lot of self-confidence and are not afraid to do dangerous
things. They are often more irresponsible, because they know
that someone will always help them if they have any kind of
problem.
What about if you are an only child? Well, it seems that one
of the main issues for only children is that they have to work
harder to make friends, because they don't immediately have
them in the family They are often more independent and are
used to spending time alone and entertaining themselves.

The Influence

Living without Money

of Money

A Weird

Woman

is about Heidemarie Schwermer, a German woman who decided to start living a very different kind of life about
14 years ago. At that time, she left her apartment and gave away all of her things except a suitcase full of clothes. This
was a decision that changed her life dramatically. She has no possessions, no place to live and no way to buy the things
she needs. The film follows Heidemarie in her day-to-day life and shows what it's like to live an alternative lifestyle.
Heidemarie is constantly on the move, meeting new people, staying with old and new friends for a few nights. In
addition to showing the daily problems she faces, we hear about Heidemarie's philosophy and why she has chosen to live
this way. We see that it is not easy for her to have no money in a society where everything is based on money. People
often have strong opinions about how she lives. Some call her a "parasite" while others see her as an "inspiration." Today,
she still doesn't use money and says she feels more free and independent than ever. She travels all around Germany,
and she often also visits Austria, Switzerland and Italy. She tells people about her experiences and tries to convey the
message that a simpler way of life is possible. This is a fascinating documentary for people who are interested in the
themes of materialism and consumerism and how money influences our way of thinking and living.
I Re-read t h e r e v i e w m o r e carefully. True (T), false (F) or n o t m e n t i o n e d (N)?
1 Her new lifestyle is similar to her old one.

U It's easy to live this kind of lifestyle.

2 She still travels and moves around a lot.

5 She gets paid for sharing her ideas.

3 She sometimes stays with strangers.

6 All audiences will enjoy this movie.

JVIAKE IT PERSONAL Would you like to see this movie? W h y (not)? Is Heidemarie a parasite or an inspiration"
Yes, I'd like to see the movie, 'cos I want to
know how she can live without using money.

I don't think she's a parasite, for me she's a very lucky

Listening is difficult in any language. We only remember between

2 5 - 5 0 % of what we hear, and when it's a foreign language,
understanding 1 0 % is a success. So when you're listening, try to
concentrate on general meaning, not specific words.

I really like reading the news online in my language,
but when I read in English there's a lot I don't
understand, so I get frustrated quickly.

Here are a few tips to help you to read in English.

1 Try to read things you're interested in and you know something
about already. If you don't enjoy reading, you won't do it.
2 Read something in your language and then try to read it in English
3 Make sure longer texts aren't too difficult. If you don't
understand more than about eight words per paragraph, choose
another text before you get frustrated.
4 Use English subtitles when you watch movies in English. This
helps your listening, pronunciation and spelling too.

Phrasal Verbs

I can't hear the TV. Can you turn it up?

It's getting dark. Do you want me to turn on the light?
When do you want me to give your bike back?

I'll give back your bike tomorrow.

I just lost my glasses. Can you help me
look for them?

Phrasal verbs consist of a verb + particle (preposition and / or adverb).

Most phrasal verbs are separable (the noun can go between the verb and the particle).
With separable phrasal verbs, object pronouns must come between the verb and the
particle.

A few are inseparable (nouns and pronouns go after the particle). To find out if a phrasal
verb is inseparable or not look it up in a dictionary, or the phrasal verbs list on iD Portal,
and look at the examples.

M a n : Turn up the TV!

W o m a n : No! Turn it down!
Boy: Give it back! It's mine!

Marc Hernandez ,t|| Introduction to Statistics

I asked
people where they usually like to
get their news and here are the results that I found.

I asked twenty people where they usually get their

news, and here are the results.
The most popular place to get news is on television.
H a l f o f t h e people I asked said that they g e t t h e i r n e w s
on TV. Twenty-five percent said that they get their news
online, two people said they get their news on the radio
and two people said they usually read the news in a
newspaper. One person said he doesn't read the news.
The results surprised me, because I thought that most
people got their news on the Internet, but 7 5 % of the
people I asked get their news from other sources.

A Gig Review
A Read t h e review. How does t h e m a n r a t e t h e show?
* * 7
0 My wife and I went to the Coldplay concert at the Xcel Energy Center yesterday and
1 can say it was one of the best shows I've ever been to. We arrived at the stadium an
hour before the show and went straight to our seats. Luckily, we were sitting at the front!
Marina and the Diamonds opened the show and, frankly,
they were just OK. However, when Coldplay finally appeared
on stage, everybody went crazy. Chris Martin performed
with such energy and passion that it was almost surreal!
He also interacted with the audience and looked like he was
rea//y having fun. Obviously. I can't remember all the songs,
but it had a good mix of hits and tracks from their latest
album. They even played Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean."
Not surprisingly, everybody sang along too!

0 Unfortunately, there were a few

disappointments too. For example, the
concert didn't start until 9 p.m. and
some fans were getting impatient. Also,
the music was too loudmy head's
still hurting from the bass. Still, the
show was unbelievably good. Next time
they're in town, be sure to buy a ticket.

Q I saw your ad on www.spiritualmanhattan.com and I'd appreciate it if you could tell me a little bit more about your work.
B I'm a 30-year-old divorced lawyer and I live in downtown Manhattan. I've been out of work for four long years and, for some strange
reason, I can't find a new job. I suspect it's some sort of spiritual problem. You see, I've been to eight different fortune-tellers, but none
of them could help me. You are my last hope.
EH Here's what I'd like to know:
1. In your ad you said you're an astrologer. Can you tell me if you use astrology in your readings too?
2. You also said there are other fortune-tellers in yourfamily. Do you think you could tell me more about your fortune-telling background?
3. Could you tell me what your rates are? Both mornings (which are less expensive, correct?) and afternoons.
Q Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions. I look forward to hearing from you.

Dear Unhappy Wife,
This is a very delicate situation, but you should
take your father-in-law out to dinner and tell
him that you have a problem. You shouldn't be
mean, but you should be very clear that what
he is doing is making you unhappy.
If he ignores you and continues to come to the
house and borrow things, you should change
the locks on the doors.
I hope this helps. That's all for now. See you
next week.

RP So, we asked seven listeners the question:
Hewtnryou usually get your news? Here's
what they said.
1 1 still read the newspaper every day. 1 can't
read from a computer screenI like to hold
the paper In my hand and turn the pages.
2 I get all my news on Twitter and Facebook
so "social media," I guess. When there's
anything big happening I hear about It there.
I don't need to go and find outIt's right
there and I can follow It easily.
3 Hmm... That's a good question. I guess I
usually watch the news on TV. I always
watch In the morning when I'm getting
ready for work and then late at night. I don't
have to waste time reading, I can just listen
and watch.
i On the radio. I listen to It all day. I wake up
to the radio, listen to the news In bed and
then |n the car. I love it 'cause you can listen
to the news when you drive to work or even
when you're jogging.
5 I work from homeI'm a web designer,
so I'm online all day long and I have my
favorite websites that I use for news. I never
watch TV, but I watch a lot of TV online.
6 I'm lucky I have a brand new smartphone
so that's where I get my news. I have a
few news apps and I check them when
I'm commuting to workIt's great for
the trainand there's no trash from the
newspaper.
7 I don't really read the news. I just see what's In
the headlines of my co-worker's newspaper so
I don't need to buy one of my own!

and once_again, with no real_agreement

reached between the world leaders from_
over 50 nations.
6 ... All_over the country today there were
protests_about the rising price_of food. The
government is considering lowering taxes
on fruit_and vegetables.
7 When_a local news team went to visit
grandmother Maria Braun to ask questions
about her daughter, they got more than
they expected. Maria chased the reporters
with_a baseball bat and threatened to call
the police. The reporters got no answers
to their questions about her daughter,
who is suspected_of hacking_into local
government computers.

Tonight on What on Earth Is Happening?, we

get stories from different parts of the world
telling us what's happening there. We'll be
featuring eight different countrieshere's
a taste of what's to come:
It's been raining and raining for h a i r s and
now there's a terrible flood in Kir t i j i n ,
there is water everywhere. There are floods
all over Bangladesh.
And from London...
It hasn't rained much this year, so there's
going to be a driiight. Get ready for a dry
summer.
And the latest from Argentina...
The m|oo|n passed between the Earth and
the sun and there was a solar eclipse.
Everything went dark in the middle of the
day! It was really weird, but c @ at the
same time!
And in Florida today...
Hurricane Minnie hit today: the wind
was so strong that it blew glass edt of the
windows. It was a huge hurricane with
wind speeds of up to 130 mph.
Meanwhile, in S U t h Africa...
There was a massive rainbow because the
sun was shining when it was raining in the
National Park. There was even a double
rainbow. Very c|oo|l!
And in Chile...
There was a magnitude five point oh
earthquake, some buildings had damage,
but no injuries were reported. The earth
shook for abfittt 15 seconds.
While in Indonesia...
There was a tsunami warning and
everyone made it to safety. The waves were
20 feet high, but there was no damage.
And in Mexico...
There were huge thunderstorms overnight
that left many homes withfe p U e r .
Lightning struck trees in the area causing

2 Well, basically I spent too much time,
uh..., having fun. You know, too busy with
friends, concerts, all the parties. I just didn't
have enough time to study! So, I just quit.
3 It was too hard to choose a major. I did

Philosophy, hated that, and, then, well, there
were too many choices, so I quit. And uh, got
a job. And then another job. I guess I'm not
decisive enough. But then, maybe I am...
Oh, I don't know.
i It wasn't interesting enough and I, uh, just
stopped enjoying it. Totally. Every morning,
I wanted to do anything, an-y-thing, except
go to school. Man, just thinking about school
was too depressing. Miserable. Enough was
enough. So, uh, boom! Time to say goodbye
and fly.

M Yuk. And the fourth reason is...?

W The stress of too much work?
M Uh-huh, their workload is too heavy. And...
W And number five must be that they don't
like the place where they work.
M Yujp, good job!
W I guess 'cos it doesn't have good facilities.
M Or it's dirty...
W Yeah, stuff like that.
M Uh-huh, uh...
W What about dropping out of college? Is that
for financial reasons too?
M No, it says the first reason is that they don't
have enough self-discipline to go to class
every day and to keep up with assignments
and homework.
W Right! So, if students miss a lot of classes,
they drop out of school. Well, no surprises
there!
M Number two is when they feel too isolated
or homesick away from their family and
friends.
W I can see thatI felt like that in college.
M Money is only number three! When they
don't have enough money to continue
studying.
W So that's pretty different from work, then?
M Yeah, interesting, and four is... personal
reasons. They have too many personal
problems like breaking up with a partner or
needing to care for a sick relative.
W That's terrible when that happens.
M Really. And the final one is...?
W Wrong choice?
M Yup, when they find they chose the wrong
thing to study, and, uh, feel they're not
interested in what they're studying.
W Oh, yeah! I know people like that!

is heavy. There are six players from each team
on the field at a time. The object is to pass to

"Imagine" was written by John Lennon in 1971,
but it was only released four years later, in
1975. Pretty easy, wasn't it? Number 2 may
surprise you, but nearly 400,000 iPhones
are sold around the globe every daythat's
actually more than the number of babies
being born each day. Yep, you heard it right:
More iPhones are sold every day than babies
are born. How 'bout that? Third question...
Lady Gaga's first album was called The Fame.
It was released in 2008 and went to number
1 in five different countries. Question 4...
Amy Winehouse was only 27 when she was
found dead in her apartment in London.
Interestingly, singers Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison
and Kurt Cobain also died at age 27. And
finally, here's our last question... British singer
Adele is considered one of the world's best
vocalists. Together, her first two albums, 19
and 21, have sold over 30 million copies...

week. It was so romantic!
P Well, congratulations! That's wonderful! And
you've come to the right place! As a wedding
planner, I can help you with everything
from your engagement party to planning
your honeymoon. I can find a place for the
ceremony, send invitations (though you'll
have to make your own guest list of who you
want to invite), uh, choose the menu for the
reception, find the perfect clothes for the
bride and groom, and choose the outfits for
the bridesmaids, as well as order the flowers
that you choose. No stress! Uh... let's see, the
gift registry is your responsibility, but I can
make recommendations. Just tell me how

really poor dietI don't eat well when
I'm stressed, then I get sick.
6 M3 Lack of sleepwhen I don't sleep well, I
get worried about not sleeping and that
stops me from sleeping and then I get
more stressed. Then, when I do sleep, I
oversleep! I'm late for class, so I|haveto|go.
7 W4 I really need to exercise eiery day to get
energy, but I'm always so tired when
I get home at night that I just drop in

lack of exercise is my biggest problem.

So, I try to do so many things at the
same time, I'm answering the phone and
writing e-mails and reading reports all
at the same time. Multitasking is really

P We've all hjearjd about speed reading and in

these times we all want to save sime time.
Dr. Samuel Marshall is a speed reading
exp|er|t and he is here to give us sime tips
on how to improve our reading speed and
our Understanding of what we read.
Dr Well, the fjnjst thing you can do is to give
yourself one minute to read an article,
it's better if it's an article that you are
interested in, and see how far you get. This
will give you an idea of how fast you read.
Then, start again and read for one minute.
Do this four times and try to read f a t h e r
each time you read the same article.
P And you'll find that you read f a t h e r each
time you read, correct?
Dr Yes, it's easier to read and Understand
slmething the second time you read it, so
you should read faster each time you read.
OK, second strategy to try. Read the same
short article of 200 wjorjds as many times as
you can in two minutes.
P And what will happen?
Dr You should find that each time you read
the article, you should read it faster, so if
it takes you one minute the ijujst time, it
should take you half a minute the seccr.d
time and then less the thin: time 1 ."ext

strategy, if you're in a class, you can all try

to read at the same speed. If you have a
100-w(oi]d text and you want to read at 200
w|or]ds pr] minute, the class has just tb|5jty
seconds to read the article.
P So, you're all trying to read at the same speed?
Dr That's right. And a final strategy to try.
Choose your own reading pace and time
yourself. For example, if you want to read
at 200 wf5r)ds p^r] minute, divide the text
into 200-w^d chinks and mark every 200
words. Have the alarm go off every minute
and see where you are in the text.
P Thanks Dr. Marshall. I'm [cerjtainly going to
try out a few of these ideas.

P Now for our next caller. Carla, you're

through to Dr. Brayman.
C Hello, Dr. Brayman.
B Hi Carla. What's your question?
C It's kind of hard to talk about, but my
question is about jealousy. My partner, Jack,
calls me all the time to find out where I am
and what I'm doing.

O R e v . 6.3
B Well Carlathis is a difficult problem,
because most people who have a jealous
partner make the problem worse. If a
partner calls all the time, the natural thing
to do is don't answer the phone calls and
then you start to have secrets from your
partner. Have you found that happening'
C Yes, totally! I mean, sometimes, he calls me
every hour, even when I'm at work! I don't
answer the phone, or I sometimes tell him
that I left my phone at homeanything so
that I don't have to answer his calls.
B And I understand that, but this makes Jack
more jealous and then he calls you even
more and you have to find other ways not to
take his calls and you start to become more
and more secretive, right?
C That's right, so what would you do Dr.
Brayman?
B The best way to deal with a jealous partner
is to talk about where the jealousy is
coming from. Your partner feels jealous
because he's afraid of losing you. Try
talking to him about his fears and worries.
Tell him that you love him and that you
aren't going to leave him. Tell him that his
jealousy is having a negative effect on your
relationship. But at the same time you need
to build his self-esteem and confidence.
C I see, so you think I should talk to him
instead of ignoring his phone calls?
B Yes, but remember that he's not going to
change from one day to the next. A problem
like this will take months and even years, so
you also need to decide if you want to take
this time. If your partner agreed, I would
recommend that you both go and talk to
an expert.
C Yeah, maybe he would go to a counselor.
I'll try it. Thanks, Dr. Brayman.

B Good luck. Carla.
