0. Introdução
A concepção do projecto Cool Zone surge da necessidade de dar resposta à grande heterogeneidade de turmas
com que os professores se deparam diariamente, dando ainda seguimento ao projecto Cool Zone iniciado no 7.o ano.
Pretende auxiliar o professor na gestão flexível do Programa e na sua tarefa diária de organizar o processo ensino/apren-
dizagem, adequando-o às características específicas dos seus alunos: conhecimentos, capacidades, ritmos, estilos de
aprendizagem, interesses e motivações.
À semelhança do Manual do 7.o ano, existe neste projecto uma articulação entre o Programa e a organização dos
processos de ensino/aprendizagem, de modo a desenvolver as competências específicas que conduzam à construção
de uma competência global em Língua Estrangeira, de acordo com as orientações do Quadro Europeu Comum de
Referência para as Línguas.
Numa abordagem que visa o desenvolvimento do aluno, não só a nível cognitivo, mas também nos domínios
afectivo, social e moral, as metodologias a adoptar deverão ser centradas no discente. Deste modo, são delineados
percursos de aprendizagem diversos, após a selecção dos conteúdos a mobilizar no desenvolvimento das competên-
cias específicas e das situações a proporcionar aos alunos.
Nesta linha, o professor, enquanto orientador e facilitador da aprendizagem, deve assegurar que as diferentes
necessidades e interesses dos alunos são tidos em consideração, estruturando formas diversificadas de organização
da aprendizagem.
É nesta vertente que este projecto é inovador, pois apresenta propostas de trabalho delineadas para atender à
diversidade apresentada pelos alunos, possibilitando aprendizagens diversificadas e diferenciadas. O trabalho do
professor fica, assim, bastante simplificado.
Tal como o Programa preconiza, os conteúdos programáticos estão estruturados em planos de trabalho
(task-based learning), isto é, a partir de um certo objectivo a atingir, é traçado um percurso através do qual o aluno
vai adquirindo as ferramentas necessárias para realizar a actividade final (objectivo a atingir).
”… any structured language learning endeavour, which has a particular objective, appropriate
content, a specified working procedure, and a range of outcomes for those who undertake the task.
‘Task’ is therefore assumed to refer to a range of workplans which have the overall purpose of
facilitating language learning – from the simple and brief exercise type to more complex and lengthy
activities such as group problem-solving or simulations and decision making.”
(Breen, in David Nunan, Designing Tasks for the Communicative Classroom, New York, CUP, 1989)
O projecto Cool Zone põe à disposição do aluno o Manual, com o apêndice desdobrável, (Help Zone), o
Workbook, um CD Áudio e a Leitura Extensiva, com as respectivas fichas de exploração, sendo estes dois últimos de
oferta.
1. Manual
O Manual está estruturado em seis Zones e cada Zone em Tasks com diversas actividades, textos actualizados e
exercícios contextualizados, que muitas vezes associam à vertente didáctica uma vertente lúdica, embora sempre
direccionada para aprendizagem ou consolidação dos assuntos tratados.
Cada Task põe em evidência uma skill, sem, no entanto, descurar as outras. Foi, ainda, feita uma gestão equili-
brada das skills ao longo do Manual.
1.1. Diferenciação
Pelas razões já enunciadas na introdução, julgamos essencial possibilitar aos alunos aprendizagens diferen-
ciadas através de actividades/exercícios variados e de grau de complexidade diferente. Desta forma, o professor é
também apoiado na implementação desta estratégia.
Ao longo das Tasks utilizámos símbolos para distinguir o grau de complexidade das actividades:
A diferenciação que o Manual permite não diz apenas respeito aos conhecimentos e capacidades dos alunos.
Tivemos, também, em consideração os diferentes estilos de aprendizagem, pelo que se podem encontrar actividades
a níveis visual, auditivo, cinestésico e do ler e escrever. Como exemplos, podemos citar: puzzles, quadros exemplifica-
tivos, quadros de sistematização, ilustrações de suporte a situações abordadas, textos de leitura de natureza variada
(diálogos, poemas, canções, pequenos textos narrativos e descritivos, ...), construção de pequenos diálogos, etc.
• Visual: puzzles, descrição de imagens e/ou fotografias, ordenar imagens, quadros exemplificativos.
• Ler/Escrever: textos de leitura de natureza variada, produção escrita guiada, menos guiada
Estilos
e livre, anedotas, quadros de sistematização.
de aprendizagem
• Auditivo: textos de natureza variada, entrevistas, pequenos diálogos, poemas.
• Cinestésico: role plays, contrução de pequenos diálogos, debates.
Por vezes, a diferenciação situa-se ao nível da escolha que o aluno pode fazer: numa determina actividade pode
tomar decisões sobre o percurso a seguir, os exercícios a realizar, as perguntas a que quer responder, as propostas
que mais estejam de acordo com as suas capacidades/conhecimentos.
Sempre que possível tivemos em conta a exequibilidade da correcção de alguns exercícios. Em alguns casos, ao
corrigir um dos exercícios (maior ou menor grau de complexidade), o professor dá resposta ao outro exercício de
forma paralela ou, até, acrescentando informação. Esta estratégia promove a interacção aluno/aluno aumentando a
sua auto-confiança.
O projecto pedagógico Cool Zone apresenta estratégias de concretização e desenvolvimento das competências
essenciais em Língua Estrangeira ao:
• Adoptar uma metodologia task-based.
• Traçar percursos de aprendizagem diferenciados.
• Permitir uma reflexão constante sobre as regras da Língua Inglesa.
• Criar Zones dedicadas a competências de comunicação oral e escrita.
• Conceber trabalhos de projecto e ainda de pares e/ou de grupos, promovendo o desenvolvimento de atitudes
de cooperação e de responsabilidade.
• Apresentar espaços dedicados à auto-reflexão.
• Conceber e/ou integrar documentos verbais e não-verbais de natureza diversa e de acordo com o nível etário
dos alunos.
2. Workbook
Nas páginas iniciais do Workbook, o professor poderá encontrar exercícios de revisão de conteúdos de língua inglesa
essenciais à aquisição de novos conteúdos.
O Workbook fornece aos alunos actividades suplementares que podem servir como consolidação, remediação e/ou
aprofundamento dos conteúdos do Manual. Tem, também, um carácter formativo, dando informação, quer ao aluno, quer
ao professor da situação do aluno em cada momento.
A cada Task do Manual corresponde uma ficha no Workbook com actividades relativas aos aspectos que considerá-
mos mais importantes ou susceptíveis de serem mais problemáticos para os alunos. A estrutura do Workbook segue o
critério do Manual, com a diferenciação das aprendizagens. Deste modo, apresentamos uma tipologia de exercícios
diversificada, para ir ao encontro dos diferentes estilos de aprendizagem, conhecimentos e competências. Esta estrutura
possibilita, assim, um trabalho autónomo, respeitando os diferentes ritmos dos alunos e permitindo a auto-correcção.
As actividades referentes a cada Task estão elaboradas em dois graus de complexidade: a cada Task do Manual cor-
respondem duas fichas no Workbook, uma de menor grau de complexidade (A) e outra de maior grau de complexidade (B).
No final de cada Zone, os alunos poderão realizar o Checkpoint. Estas fichas têm um objectivo formativo e informativo.
Ao longo do Manual é feita uma remissão para o Workbook, para que seja fácil e prática a sua utilização a par e
passo com o Manual.
3. Leitura Extensiva
Deep Trouble Down Under é um conto de leitura extensiva, de oferta, que pretende motivar os alunos para a
leitura e desenvolver processos de interacção com o texto. Este material encontra-se didactizado e gravado no CD áudio,
pelo que os alunos poderão ouvir a história enquanto a lêem.
7. Transparências
O projecto inclui dez transparências que permitem uma abordagem dos conteúdos mais diversificada e interessante.
8. Apresentações em PowerPoint
Do projecto faz parte um conjunto de slides (em PowerPoint) de oferta ao professor, disponível na área de Apoio
Internet da Texto Editores (www.projectos.TE.pt). Tendo em consideração que materiais em suporte informático têm
tido um papel cada vez mais preponderante no processo de ensino-aprendizagem e pensando ainda na predis-
posição dos alunos no que diz respeito ao computador e aos programas informáticos, criámos este conjunto de
slides. Estes materiais pretendem auxiliar o professor na apresentação, recuperação e/ou consolidação de conteú-
dos da língua inglesa. Assim, os conteúdos vão sendo apresentados à turma de uma forma dinâmica e com o recurso
a imagens, diagramas, cores, para uma melhor compreensão dos conteúdos por parte dos alunos.

Activity 4
Students’ opinions about going back to school
Madison: My favourite part about going back to school is all the new stationery! Each summer I enjoy buying new folders
and pens and stuff. They show my personality. This year everything is about the sea. I don’t like homework, though.
Lucas: I think the best thing about going back to school is seeing all our friends again. I also think it’s great to learn
new stuff! Maths and Geography are cool subjects. The only thing I don’t like is getting up early in the morning.
Ethan: Summer holidays are great and outdoor activities are my favourite thing but going to school is cool too… First
of all, because we can make new friends and second, I don’t have to listen to my mum all day! What I don’t like is
doing tests, especially History tests: we have to do a lot!
Zone 0 – Task B
Activity 6
A holiday incident
Last summer holidays my family and I went to Cornwall. It took us 5 hours to get there by car. On the way we
stopped at a few service stations to fill up, to eat something and stretch our legs. We stayed in a caravan on a big
campsite. We did a lot of different things: we went for long walks, played games, went shopping and swam in the
lake. I was enjoying myself a lot until something terrible happened. One morning I decided to explore the forest near
the campsite all by myself. I walked and walked. I watched the birds and squirrels and I took some photos. When I felt
hungry I decided to return to the caravan. That's when I realised I couldn't find the way back. I tried different directions
but I always ended up in the same place. "Oh, God! What am I going to do? I'm so frightened!" I thought. To make
things worse it started to rain and there was a strong wind. I decided to take shelter under a tree and wait till my parents
came to get me. After several hours they found me. It was already dark and I was cold, hungry and terribly scared.
Harriet: Good afternoon. My guests today are Lisa, Matt, Rose and Bill. Lisa and Matt are 13 years old and Rose
and Bill are 14. Lisa lives in our city and Matt, Rose and Bill come from towns nearby. We’re here to discuss the topic:
Do teens need better places to hang out?
Rose, what’s your opinion about this?
Rose: I hang out with my friends at the local park or we walk around. We usually end up in each others’ houses
because there’s nowhere else to go and it’s not safe to stay in the street. I don’t think there are enough places for us
to hang out.
Harriet: What about you, Matt?
Matt: There’s nowhere in my town to hang out. Well, teens just hang out outside the shops and have to go into
the park where only really little kids go! Old people always complain about the noise but if we have nowhere else to
hang out, what do people expect us to do? Sometimes we feel really bored. There isn’t anywhere cool to hang out.
Harriet: I’d like to hear your opinion, Bill.
Bill: During the summer my friends and I usually hang out at the beach, or there’s a restaurant we teens all hang
out in. The rest of the year we usually meet at the shopping centre because there we feel safe from street violence or
bad weather. It also has everything we need: food, entertainment, shops… so it’s OK, really.
Harriet: Finally, let’s hear Lisa’s opinion.
Lisa: Well, living here makes all the difference. I’m really lucky because I live in a city where there’s loads to do!
There’s bowling, shopping, a cinema, Laser Quest, two huge parks and lots of clubs and activities so I think that’s enough.

Present Simple and Present Continuous
E. 1. Tom is studying. 2. She is writing a letter. 3. They are playing football. 4. They are feeding the dog.
Zone 1 – Task B
Activity 4
Is the Internet safe?
Sophie: I usually chat online with other teens. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with going into chatrooms if you
follow safety rules. Never give out any personal information like your name, e-mail, telephone number, and so on and
don’t even think about meeting anyone. Remember that you’re only there to have fun. Sometimes people ask me to
meet them but I just ignore them.
Mike: I think the Internet can be dangerous but it’s also very useful. It gives us lots of possibilities: we can do
research for school projects, get help with our homework, share ideas with other students… but I agree that there
are some negative aspects. For example, you have to be careful with chatrooms. You can’t trust people you meet
online. They may lie to you.
Betty: Personally, I think that, like other dangers that teenagers face (drugs, smoking, and so on), you just have to be
careful and follow the rules. Chatrooms, for example, are only dangerous if you’re irresponsible and start to give out
personal information. Sometimes I’m alone at home and I feel bored and so I go into chatrooms to hang out with
other teens. I also surf the Net a lot when I need to do research.
Zone 1 – Task C
Activity 3
Part A – Free time activities
Jojo: Hi! I’m Jojo. I don’t have much free time because I’m always on tour, going to photo shoots and giving interviews.
I take this job very seriously but I always try to find some time to hang out with family and friends. The other thing
I like doing in my free time is shopping – like all girls do – watching movies and going to museums. It’s a fun way to
learn about other cultures and History.
Wayne Rooney: I’m very lucky. My job and my favourite hobby are the same: playing football. But when I‘ve got
some free time I also like swimming because it’s very relaxing especially when I’m under a lot of pressure like before
important games. Karate is also another hobby of mine. I started it when I was a young boy.
Zac Efron: Everybody calls me Troy but my real name is Zac Efron. Troy is the name of my character in “High School
Musical” where I play the captain of the basketball team. My favourite sports are golf, skiing, rock climbing and
snowboarding. But now I’m also a big fan of surfing. When I’m at home I play the piano and at the moment I’m learning
how to play the guitar. As I’m very active, I’m also fixing two cars with my younger brother: a Delorean and a ’65
Mustang convertible.
Zone 2 – Task B
Activity 1
Teens go shopping
Exercise B
Daisy: Like any other girl I like shopping. My favourite clothes are jeans. I also like tops. I don’t usually wear skirts
because I don’t feel comfortable in them and I really dislike dresses. I prefer boots to shoes and in summer
flip-flops are my favourite. Blue is my favourite colour and I hate yellow. I often wear earrings but I don’t like
necklaces or bracelets.
Alex: My favourite clothes are jeans and T-shirts. My favourite kind of shoes is trainers, of course. I don’t feel
comfortable wearing shoes. I hate it when my mum tells me to wear trousers, a shirt and tie for a special occasion
like she did for my grandma’s birthday party. In winter I usually wear sweatshirts, anoraks and… jeans, of course.
I hate scarves, gloves and stuff like that but I think caps are really cool.
Vogue: Gwen, people know you as a great singer, an actress and now a fashion designer. How do you explain this
new side of you?
Gwen: It’s not exactly something new. I’ve always been interested in fashion since I was a child. But I have my
own style. I like to be different. I didn’t find the clothes I liked in the shops, so I had to design them.
Vogue: Yes, but why did you decide to be a professional designer?
Gwen: My friends are always asking me questions like “Do you think I’m OK? What do you think of my new
dress? What should I wear to the party?” They trust my opinion. So I started designing clothes for them too.
Vogue: How do you find the time to sing and design clothes?
Gwen: Well, when you like doing something you always find the time. In fact if I didn’t like singing so much, I’d
only design clothes, bags and accessories.
Vogue: Tell us a little bit about the style of your clothes.
Gwen: I like a bit of everything. It depends on my mood: I can wear very elegant dresses, punk clothes and high
heels, skater style clothes… you know… baggy pants and tiny tops…
Vogue: You obviously like what you’re doing.
Gwen: Oh, yes. If I had the time, I’d do a design course and learn much more.
Vogue: Thank you, Gwen. We’ll meet again in your next fashion show.
Gwen: Bye.
Zone 2 – Task B
Activity 9
Teens’ opinions about fashion
Kelly: It’s true that celebrities influence what you buy. If you see a famous person wearing something you just want
to buy it. I’m sure I’m influenced by famous people and their decisions about fashion. I fight against it a bit because I
think I should have my own individual look but when I go shopping I always look for things I know my fave celebrities
wear. Most of the time this is a problem because famous people wear designer labels and they are very expensive.
Sometimes, like on my birthday, at Christmas and so on my parents give me some extra money and that’s when I buy
some special clothes or shoes. Now, as for tattoos and piercings, I don’t really like them, no matter how many my
fave stars have. I don’t need them to feel cool.
Joe: I am not into fashion and I definitely do not copy celebrities. I have my own style. I think we should wear what
makes us look good and feel self-confident. If I could afford it, I would buy cool clothes but not necessarily what
famous people wear. Sometimes people buy certain designer labels just because those clothes are famous and not
because they think they’re special. Many of my friends feel insecure about their appearance. They would be happier
if they didn’t worry so much about their looks. Famous people’s clothes are always very expensive and teens don’t
usually have that much money to spend. I hate tattoos but if my parents let me, I’ll get an ear piercing.
Zone 3 – Task B
Activity 3
Interviewing US5
Teen Radio: My name is Jess Stone. I’m from Teen Radio and I’m going to ask US 5 some questions.
Good-afternoon Chris, Izzy, Jay, Mikel and Richie and thank you for being in this programme.
All 5 boys: Good-afternoon.
Teen Radio: Chris, my first question is for you. Was it easy to join the band?
Chris: No way. In fact it was very hard. I had to go to some auditions and the other guys were very good too. But
it was worthwhile because now the band, the music, the dancing and the touring with US5 are my life.
Teen Radio: Are you still at school?
Chris: Unfortunately, I had to drop out of school to make this dream come true. However I try to read as much as I
can to stay in touch with news and views. I also write the songs for the band, so I’m pretty busy.
Zone 3 – Task C
Activity 2
Favourite films
Gabriel: You wake up in the night. You can’t see a thing but you just know there is something hiding in the dark…
You want to switch on the light but it’s not the light your fingers touch, it’s the face of a werewolf! I just love horror
films. They are the ones that make you jump out of your seat and keep you awake at night listening to every
sound…And they make you hold your breath or even scream! The best of them all is Wolf with Michelle Pfeiffer and
Jack Nicholson.
Leo: For me action movies are the best! There are fights, car crashes, bullets, explosions… you name it! Anything
can happen. Live Free or Die Hard is the best action movie I’ve ever seen. Bruce Willis is a tough hero but at the same
time he’s got this terrific sense of humour. The film is loaded with action and everything happens so fast! It’s a real
must- see!
Zone 4 – Task A
Activity 4 –
Favourite means of transport
David: I love travelling but I don’t usually go abroad when I am on holiday. I stay in England. I usually go to
Portsmouth where my uncle and aunt live. They’ve got a daughter and a son. They’re 13 and 15 years old. I love being
with them. My cousins and I always have a lot of fun together. That’s why I also visit them when there is a long
weekend. I go by train because my parents sometimes work and can’t take me. But that’s OK. I like travelling by train.
You can buy the ticket in advance and you choose the compartment and seat. I always sit by the window because I
like watching the countryside. It’s green and so peaceful. There’s a lot to see and you have plenty of time to really
enjoy the view. If you want, you can also read and listen to music. Whatever you choose to do, travelling by train is
always relaxing.
Kelly: I don’t travel alone. When you’re only 14 years old it’s not very safe to go on holiday by yourself. Anyway
where’s the fun? You need to be with your family or some friends if you want to enjoy yourself. My father works on a
cruise-liner. He’s a steward. Sometimes he stays on board for two whole months so my mother takes care of my two
brothers and me. But because my father works there, he takes us with him on shorter trips of like a week or two. I
really enjoy the ocean and going on a cruise. It’s not dangerous and you’ve got everything you need on board: games,
tennis courts, swimming pools, discos, cinema… And you can meet different people and visit new countries when
the ship comes to shore. Travelling by boat is definitely the most amazing experience for me…
Jim: I enjoy travelling a lot. Perhaps because I’ve travelled to different places and countries since I was a little boy.
You know, my mother works for a travel agency so sometimes she gets special discounts… and that’s why my brother,
my parents and I go abroad for the weekend or for two or three days. We always travel by plane and I love it. It’s the
fastest and safest means of transport. When I grow up I think I’ll be a pilot. I feel great when I look out of the window
and see the clouds so close to me or the bright blue sky. It’s amazing to see the view from up there.
Besides that, you can listen to music, read, watch a film or just sleep.
O projecto Cool Zone inclui um DVD que contém três episódios relativos à vida diária de três jovens (duas
raparigas e um rapaz) de zonas diferentes da Grã-Bretanha: That’s me: Graham, Inverness (Scotland), Naela, Bristol
(England), Róisin, Carna (Ireland).
Os três jovens abordam, na primeira pessoa, temas relacionados com a família, a escola, as suas actividades
preferidas, os desportos praticados e aspectos culturais do seu país.
Este DVD contém, ainda, dois episódios onde dois dos jovens acima mencionados confeccionam pratos típicos do
seu dia a dia: Eat it: Graham’s fried breakfast, Róisin’s BLT (Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato) on toast.
Objectivos
A exploração deste DVD é importante no processo de ensino-aprendizagem da língua inglesa, pois permite:
• Fazer uma abordagem metodológica de forma diferente e motivadora.
• Aprofundar o conhecimento de aspectos sócio-culturais de outras comunidades.
• Desenvolver a curiosidade dos alunos sobre a vida noutras partes do mundo.
• Respeitar as diferenças culturais.
Sugestões metodológicas
A fim de facilitar a exploração do DVD, foram elaboradas fichas de trabalho que correspondem aos diferentes
episódios.
Numa primeira etapa, os alunos poderão realizar as actividades de pre-viewing, seguindo-se o visionamento do
episódio. Numa segunda etapa, os alunos voltam a ver o episódio, mas fazendo pausas nos momentos que corres-
pondem aos diferentes exercícios. Depois de realizadas as actividades e corrigido o trabalho dos alunos, sugerimos
algumas actividades de after-viewing.
Sugere-se que os episódios referentes ao That’s me sejam visionados a partir do final do primeiro período e os
dois episódios correspondentes ao Eat it após a exploração da Zone 2, Task A.
Tapescript
Graham in Inverness
GRAHAM (off): Inverness is the most northerly city in the British Isles. It lies in the heart of the Highlands of Scotland amidst
some of the most beautiful and dramatic scenery in Britain. There are towering mountains and deep glens. Inverness is at the
mouth of the river Ness. I’m sure you’ve all heard of the monster Nessie, who lives up the river in the loch. The city is a great
place to live. It has one of the lowest crime rates in Britain. This could be because the people are all really friendly and kind to
each other. This may also be the reason that Inverness is one of the fastest growing cities in Europe. There are many thousands
of people here and many more come every year.
GRAHAM: Hi, there! I’m Graham. Do you like my uniform? I have to wear it, because I’m
a prefect. This means that I’ve got extra responsibilities and we have to look after the little children. Well, I’m on my way
home now. I’ve just finished my higher exam for chemistry. I’m absolutely knackered, because it lasted about three hours. And…
I guess I’ll see you at home!
GRAHAM: Well, it’s nice to get home and out of my school uniform. Not that it bothers me. It’s just that I feel more comfortable
in my normal clothes.
Naela in Bristol
NAELA (off): This is Bristol. It’s a fairly large and busy city… on the Bristol Channel, not far from Wales. The suspension
bridge is famous and so is the old cathedral. We live in a mixed area not far from the city centre. I like my area very much and
I’ve lived here for nearly ten years now, and the people here are so nice and friendly.
NAELA: Hello! I’m Naela and I’m here today at the Climbing Centre near to where I live. This used to be a church but eleven
years ago it was sold and converted into the Climbing Centre. Today it has over 40 000 members, and people from just about
everywhere come
here to climb. I’m a beginner but I’m here today to practise my climbing.
INSTRUCTOR: Right. Go up!
NAELA: No, I can’t go any further up.
INSTRUCTOR: Yeah! Hold on…
NAELA: No, I can’t.
INSTRUCTOR: That’s it! You can! Stand up… Go off… Now you climb down. See? Just keep leaning back… And there you
go… Tough?
NAELA: Horrible!
INSTRUCTOR: See how much easier that was?
NAELA (off): We are a family of four: my mum, my two sisters and myself. My mum’s called Anna and is very caring. My sister
Lanie is an angel and so is my little sister Daisy.
Róisín in Carna
RÓISÍN: Fáilte go Conamara = Welcome to Connemara.
RÓISÍN (off): We’re in the west of Ireland. Connemara is a beautiful area with its vast, unspoiled wilderness, its shores
washed by the waves rolling in from the Atlantic Ocean. There are lovely lakes, streams and rocky hills.
RÓISÍN: Hi! I’m Róisín and I live here in Carna. Come inside! I’ll introduce you to my family. Is that…? I think… I don’t
believe this! My parents are training! Hello, mum!
MUM: Hello, Róisín!
RÓISÍN: Hello, Dad!
DAD: Hello, Róisín! …
MUM: /speaking Irish/
RÓISÍN: /speaking Irish/
DAD: /speaking Irish/
RÓISÍN: /speaking Irish/
MUM: /speaking Irish/
RÓISÍN: /speaking Irish/
MUM: /speaking Irish/
DAD: /speaking Irish/
RÓISÍN: …OK… I’ll leave them to it now, because they’re speaking Irish, and you won’t understand a word they’re saying.
RÓISÍN: I’ll introduce you to my brother and sister now. I’m sure they won’t mind. I doubt they’re doing their homework. This
is my brother Paráic and my sister Martha.
PARÁIC AND MARTHA: Hello!
RÓISÍN: They love playing the Play Station, but I don’t really like football.
RÓISÍN: This is where we do our shopping. Although it might look small they have everything you need. This is the Post
Office and, come to think of it, it might be the last one before you get to the United States.
RÓISÍN: This is the secondary school where I’m now going to school. I’ve been coming here for four years, and I have another
two years left before I go to college. I love it here and I look forward to coming into school every morning.
RÓISÍN (off): There are 200 pupils in our school, and it is a policy to wear school uniforms.
RÓISÍN: This is where I do basketball. It’s my favourite sport and it’s very good exercise. Oh! And that’s my coach, Pat Burke.
COACH: Róisín! Here! Come on, let’s go!
RÓISÍN: I’ve got to go!
COACH: In the game, here we go! Right! Move it, Jim! And quick! Let’s go!
RÓISÍN (off): This is my favourite sport, basketball. I have basketball training every Friday after school. I like it because it
keeps my fit and we have a great basketball team and I like to win.
COACH: My name is Pat Burke. I am the basketball coach here in Carna Community School. I am also the PE teacher in the school.
About sixty girls play basketball out of a hundred girls in the school, and we train two evenings a week after school from four until six.
Róisín joined the basketball club here in the school in first year and has shown steady improvement and very dedicated to her training.
RÓISÍN: This is our lovely local church. There’s nobody here now but it’s usually packed on Sunday mornings and Saturday
evenings. That’s when I come.
RÓISÍN (off): Although young people don’t go to church as often as they used to, for most people around here church is very
important. For me and my family, we go every week. And if I don’t go to church then, personally, I feel guilty.
Róisín’s BLT
– Hello! Now I’m going to make BLT; bacon, lettuce, tomato, on toast.
I make that sometimes after school, because it is easy to make and fast.
– So now I have to grab a few things from the fridge.
– The ingredients you need are: lettuce, tomatoes, some bread, bacon, cheese and of course some mayonnaise.
– Now we have to turn on the grill. We turn it to about 250.
– Now we’ll toast the bread.
– OK, we’ll cut up some lettuce. OK, that should be enough.
– Then you’ll cut up your tomato. You cut it in four slices. OK
– And then you need to grate some cheese.
– Oh, the toast is ready!
– You see, nice and brown.
– Then you put some mayonnaise on it. OK. That’s the mayonnaise. Spread it like this, and over here.
– Then you just get your lettuce. You put the lettuce on first, just put it nice, just a bit. And then you just put the tomatoes
on, four, that’s one in every corner.
Beep, beep
– Oh, the bacon should be ready now!
– OK, you just get the bacon and you place it on top. One here and one here.
– Now, there’s just one more thing left for me to do. Now, we’ll just sprinkle some cheese on the top. I put lots of cheese,
just like this. It’s very messy.
– You just take this slice and you put it back under the grill again.
– You just leave it there for another few minutes and let the cheese melt.
– I just take this with me now because I think it’s ready.
– It is. Just put this on top and you bite into it.
– Uh, hot! It is really hot!

Part A
A. Read the text carefully.
Adults think that nowadays teens only care about fashion and the
way they look and dress and this is true because young people judge
one another by the clothes and accessories they wear and the hairstyle
they have. Sometimes it is difficult for young people to define their own
5 style because they don’t know exactly what they like and who they really
are. So, they sometimes copy celebrities because they believe that if
they imitate their style, they will be popular among other teenagers.
Jenny Parker, 13, says: “I think young people have idols because we

fashionable and I also like her songs very much. I think she’s a great
singer.”
Young people also think designer labels are really important. They
want to keep up with their friends and be accepted in their group. Jack, 14, says: “I think it’s important to wear
15 labels. You get bullied if you don’t wear them. The other teens usually tease you for wearing rubbish stuff.” Brian, 14,
has a different opinion: “I don’t care about designer clothes or styles. I wear what I like and what makes me feel
good and comfortable. If the other teens don’t want me in their group it’s because they aren’t really my friends.”
Tattoos and piercings are also part of some teens’ style. Pam argues that: “If I had the chance, I would have lots of
piercings. Unfortunately, I can’t because my parents just let me have one ear piercing. If my parents understood how
20 important this is for my image at school, they would let me have more piercings.They always explain that my friends
should accept me for what I am and not because of the way I look and the clothes I wear.”

A. Read the text carefully.
Adults think that nowadays teens only care about fashion and the
way they look and dress and this is true because young people judge
one another by the clothes and accessories they wear and the hairstyle
they have. Sometimes it is difficult for young people to define their own
5 style because they don’t know exactly what they like and who they really
are. So, they sometimes copy celebrities because they believe that if
they imitate their style, they will be popular among other teenagers.
Jenny Parker, 13, says: “I think young people have idols because we
need someone to be our role model, to motivate us and to help us decide
10 who we are. My idol is Christina Aguilera. I think she is fashionable and
I also like her songs very much. I think she’s a great singer.”
Young people also think designer labels are really important. They
want to keep up with their friends and be accepted in their group. Jack,
14, says: “I think it’s important to wear labels. You get bullied if you don’t wear them. The other teens usually tease
15 you for wearing rubbish stuff.” Brian, 14, has a different opinion: “I don’t care about designer clothes or styles. I wear
what I like and what makes me feel good and comfortable. If the other teens don’t want me in their group it’s
because they aren’t really my friends.”
Tattoos and piercings are also part of some teens’ style. Pam argues that: “If I had the chance, I would have lots of

Part 1
It’s October now and Nellie is at school. She’s talking to her friends. They are very happy with their new school. Last year the school
was a bit old, but they made lots of changes during the summer holiday. Now they have a new gym, two new playgrounds, a bigger
library with new books and a computer room with modern computers and TVs. The school now looks great! Mr Scott, the Geography
teacher often takes Nellie’s class to the library to look for information in the new books and encyclopaedias. The students can also
surf the Net to do their projects or go online to send e-mails to other students in other countries. Nellie is involved in a class project
with students from Spain. Last year they didn’t often go to the library because it was quite small and old-fashioned.
Part 2
Nellie and her friends sometimes go to the new gym after school. They usually skate in the new skate park or play basketball.
Then they go home to do their homework. After dinner Nellie goes online and talks to her best friend Gabriel. He is in a different
school, so they never see each other during the week. They send messages, photos and music. At weekends Nellie and Gabriel
go to the shopping centre in the afternoon. It’s their favourite place to hang out. They have lunch at McDonald’s and then go to
the cinema. They both enjoy watching films. Then they have a snack. Most times Gabriel goes home with Nellie. In the evening
they watch wrestling on TV because they think it’s fun to watch! They laugh a lot.

Eating out
Part 1
Simon: My favourite food is Italian food because it’s healthy. Italians know that pasta, cheese and vegetables are a great
combination. Last week Laura, one of my best friends, invited me to McDonald’s for her birthday. I don’t usually eat fast food,
but it was her birthday party so I said yes. She invited lots of other boys and girls from school to have dinner there and then
she invited us all to go to the cinema. We met around eight at the shopping centre.
Part 2
I read the restaurant menu and it was a bit difficult to choose what to eat. You know I’m a vegetarian, so I don’t eat meat at all.
At McDonald’s it’s not easy not to eat meat because lots of sandwiches have got meat like chicken or pork. I asked one of my
friends for help because he usually has lunch at McDonald’s, so he knows all about the menu. He told me to try the new healthy
dishes like the fish burger, the soup or the apple pie. I decided to have some spinach soup as a starter, some French fries and a
fish burger called fillet-O-fish, a chocolate ice cream for dessert and a diet coke. Then we had the cake and we went to the cinema.
Everybody enjoyed themselves.
