ENGLISH FOR SPANISH SPEAKERS
The ENGLISH FOR SPANISH SPEAKERS editions help Spanish-speaking learners overcome the difficulties they face
when learning English. This is achieved by integrating our expert knowledge of Spanish speakers with information
taken from the unique Cambridge English Corpus.
Our in-depth understanding of Spanish-speaking learners is the result of extensive research carried out by our
locally-based editorial team and is clearly evident in our ENGLISH FOR SPANISH SPEAKERS editions. This guarantees
that the topics and activity types are relevant to Spanish-speaking learners of English, with a focus on areas of
language which are typically problematic. Extra support is also provided for teachers of Spanish speakers through
detailed teaching notes and specifically-designed ideas for the classroom.
The Cambridge English Corpus is a multi-billion word collection of written and spoken English. It includes the
Cambridge Learner Corpus, a unique bank of exam candidate papers. Our authors study the Corpus to see how
English is really used, and to identify typical learner mistakes. We use this system to identify which words,
grammar patterns or language structures cause the most problems for Spanish-speaking students learning
English. As a result, ENGLISH FOR SPANISH SPEAKERS editions are able to confidently address the common mistakes
that Spanish-speaking learners make, and give extra practice and tips to avoid these typical errors.

Unit 1
Living life online
Is technology changing relationships or is it just making relationships easier and less embarrassing? All
teenagers want to do is establish their own identities, become independent, look good and impress their
peers, so is technology helping them or not?
Connor 16 September 08.50

I hang out with my friends after school for about an hour on Facebook. At the weekend, I often spend up
to twice that amount of time online. I chat, have a laugh and moan about things. I sometimes forget what
homework I’ve got, so I just message one of my friends to find out. I’ve got one friend who never uses any
social media websites but that isn’t a problem because I just chat to him on my games console. I think I’m
closer to most of my friends because of technology.
Holly 16 September 16.20

I’m always connected – to my phone. I’m never lonely and I always feel safe. I use it to text, share photos,
listen to music, update my profile or check out friends’ profiles. Right now, I’m chatting to about ten friends
and we’re talking about our things. Look! My friend Millie is revising and she’s bored, so she’s chatting to me
at the same time. She’s multi-tasking!  I find it quite hard at school because I’m not
allowed to use my phone. Sometimes I check it at break or lunchtime, but not using it
also gives me time to have lunch with friends and catch up with them.
Alice 16 September 16.41

I’m quite shy and being online means I can be a bit more
confident, especially when I’m talking to boys. I still love chatting
to friends face-to-face and I think it’s really important to see them.
If I have an argument with a friend online, I always end up talking
to them about it the next day. I never say things online that I don’t
want to say to someone’s face. For me, technology will never
replace spending time with my friends in person and it
definitely isn’t changing my relationships. I’m the
same person online as I am when you
meet me. I definitely don’t live
my whole life online.

Wired for the future

Every day, you probably use your smartphone, a computer or another gadget. An essential part of all your gadgets
is coding. Coding is great fun, exciting and a very creative hobby. However, a lot of schools do not teach computer
programming as part of the curriculum any more and there are not enough young computer programmers in the world.
So, if you think computer programmers are all geeks, read on and find out about one organisation that is changing the
way we think.
Young Rewired State (YRS) is a group of young people under the age of 18 around the world learning from each other and
teaching themselves and others how to program computers. In schools, YRS is encouraging students to organise Google
Assemblies to explain to their peers what coding is, and that they are not nerds simply because they enjoy it.
Around the world, YRS holds a Festival of Code for a week every August for young programmers and coders from the
UK, the USA, Europe and Asia. Young people come together and work as a team or on their own from Monday
to Thursday somewhere in their local area. Some of the activities include hacking open data legally, designing new apps
and building websites.
Some of the participants write programs in order to hack a website legally to give learner drivers easier and quicker access
to questions for their driving test exam. Others look at creating a new way to shop online in a 3D shop. The aim of these

Wired for the future

Every day, you probably use your smartphone, a computer or another gadget. An essential part of all your gadgets
is coding. Coding is great fun, exciting and a very creative hobby. However, a lot of schools do not teach computer
programming as part of the curriculum any more and there are not enough young computer programmers in the world.
So, if you think computer programmers are all geeks, read on and find out about one organisation that is changing the
way we think.
Young Rewired State (YRS) is a group of young people under the age of 18 around the world learning from each other and
teaching themselves and others how to program computers. In schools, YRS is encouraging students to organise Google
Assemblies to explain to their peers what coding is, and that they are not nerds simply because they enjoy it.
Around the world, YRS holds a Festival of Code for a week every August for young programmers and coders from the
UK, the USA, Europe and Asia. Young people come together and work as a team or on their own from Monday
to Thursday somewhere in their local area. Some of the activities include hacking open data legally, designing new apps
and building websites.
Some of the participants write programs in order to hack a website legally to give learner drivers easier and quicker access
to questions for their driving test exam. Others look at creating a new way to shop online in a 3D shop. The aim of these
young people is to use their computing skills to make everyone’s lives better. At the end of the weekend, government
officials and professional web designers assess the work and award prizes.

Unit 1 Exam practice 97

Extreme danger
At the age of 22, Kevin Pearce was a successful professional American snowboarder until 31st December 2009, when his
life changed forever.
Snowboarding has some dangerous moves, including one particularly difficult one called the Cab Double Cork, where the
snowboarder must flip and spin in the air at the same time. During a practice session, Kevin was doing this move and he
had to choose the exact spot on the ground where he was going to land. From a height of over 12 metres, he misjudged the
landing very badly, hit his head on the ice and suffered severe brain injury.
He spent six days in a coma and a long time in intensive care in hospital. When he woke up, he didn’t know where he was,
he could barely see and he couldn’t talk. A month later, he began to show some signs of recovery in his speech. Kevin
never gave up, even when he had to learn how to walk and talk again and do simple everyday tasks like brushing his
teeth. Things we all take for granted.
Kevin’s recovery is ongoing and every day he is reminded of how the accident still affects him: memory loss, problems
with his sight, difficulty with his balance and tiredness. He feels frustrated but the injury has forced him to find new ways
to use his energy and accept his new life. He now campaigns for better education and more research into brain injuries.
He set up his own campaign called Love Your Brain to help other people and their families in the USA with brain injuries.
Two years after the accident, Kevin stood on a snowboard again and he learnt he couldn’t ever compete professionally
again. Kevin is aware that snowboarding can be dangerous, but it is often the snowboarders themselves who take
the risks and make it more dangerous. Kevin also enjoys surfing now but he always wears a helmet. He does sports
commentaries, gives motivational talks and he’s the star of a documentary film about his recovery called The Crash Reel.

Sibling rivalry
Do you get on well with your siblings or do you argue constantly with them? Have you ever fallen out with your brother
or sister and not spoken to them for days or even months? If you’re an only child, perhaps you can’t believe the lengths
siblings will go to in order to avoid each other.
One famous example of sibling rivalry is that of the Dassler brothers, Adi and Rudi. They were successful shoemakers
in Germany but after working together for 25 years, they decided to go their separate ways to set up their own sportswear
companies: Adidas and Puma. No one has ever known or revealed the real reason for the feud but there was certainly
some sort of disagreement. Both men died without having resolved their differences. Nowadays, neither Adidas nor Puma
belongs to the Dassler family but the companies are still in the same city. A few years ago, however, the owners held a
charity football match and it was the first time the corporations had done anything together since 1948!
While the example of the Dassler brothers is more extreme than in most families, it goes to show that sibling rivalry can
last a lifetime. So, what is the cause of such hatred between children with the same parents?
According to psychologists, arguments between adult siblings probably go back to how each child felt their parents
treated them. At the heart of any issues between grown-up siblings, there is usually a lot of resentment on the part
of the younger sibling towards the older brother or sister that has not disappeared since childhood.
This can be because parents have a tendency to compare younger children with older children, often without even
realising it. This can leave a younger child feeling insecure, undervalued or angry. Such feelings may carry on into adult
life and they will often continue squabbling like children even over very small matters.
The most important thing to remember about siblings is that they don’t have to be your best friend but you do have a lot
in common, whether you like it or not!

Are you tough enough to try?

Is it a sporting event or just a big muddy obstacle course? One thing’s for sure: it’s very popular! Tough Mudder began
in 2010 in the USA and since then more than 1.3 million people have taken part in similar events around the world.
However, doing a Tough Mudder means you will get very dirty! Here are five good reasons why this is a great way to spend
a day.
• You’ll develop existing friendships.

Do the race with a friend and you’ll be surprised how much closer you are by the end of the race. Competitors won’t
know what they will be expected to do before the race starts. Some of them will have no problems at all finishing the
race, but others will struggle from the first obstacle. Why not ask friends for help?
• You’ll make new friends.

Doing a race like this really brings people together. If you won’t be running with friends, don’t worry! You’ll definitely
have to ask someone for help along the way and you’ll also find yourself talking to people in the strangest of places.
• You’ll have new experiences.

You’ll also have the chance to experience things you won’t have done before. You’ll slide down an enormous water
slide and land in a lake of ice cubes or you’ll crawl through muddy tunnels. You’ll also have some great stories to tell
people for years to come!
• You’ll laugh.
No one will mind when you let your hair down! It’s easy to join in and get dirty. It all adds up to a lot of muddy fun!
• You’ll feel fitter.

You’ll need to be reasonably fit to take part in a race like this. You’ll be working out harder than in the gym because
you’ll be running for about 16–19km. But don’t worry if you aren’t not very good at running or you aren’t a very
competitive person. This is a race for everyone, even if you end up walking for parts of it, and you can put up with a bit
of dirt!

You may have seen celebrities wearing Gandys flip-flops in a variety of colours or you might even own a pair yourself.
Did you know that the inspiration for this brand happened as a result of Rob and Paul Forkan losing their parents in the
2004 tsunami in Sri Lanka? They wanted to honour their parents and they built their company based on the values their
parents had taught them.
In 2011, Rob and Paul designed their prototype using a natural material called hemp for the sole. They started trying to
sell them, not very successfully, on UK beaches. They then changed to a rubber sole and gradually managed to sell them
to UK retailers and the boys never looked back.
Rob and Paul felt they should do something with part of their profits to help children in developing countries, particularly
orphans. They donated money to children’s homes but their dream was to build an orphanage. By the end of 2014, Rob
and Paul had started building their first orphanage. Building orphanages from flip-flops really could become a reality.
Blake Mycoskie also felt inspired to design a shoe after witnessing child poverty in Argentina. He was so shocked when
he saw children going barefoot because they couldn’t afford shoes that he created a simple canvas shoe based on the
alpargata, a traditional shoe from Spain. In 2006, he began selling Toms.
Mycoskie came up with a business model called One For One: for every pair of Toms a person buys, the company can give
a pair of shoes to a child in a developing country. Volunteers have given more than 35 million pairs of shoes to children.
The company now sells sunglasses using the One to One business model too. When someone buys a pair of sunglasses,
part of the profit can help a person with sight problems in a developing country. The company has helped more than
250,000 people this way.
So, next time you put on your flip-flops for the beach or try on a new pair of shoes, why not choose fashionable footwear
that makes a difference and can change a person’s life?

sell them, not very successfully, on UK beaches. They then changed to a rubber sole and gradually managed to sell them
to UK retailers and the boys never looked back.
Rob and Paul felt they should do something with part of their profits to help children in developing countries, particularly
orphans. They donated money to children’s homes but their dream was to build an orphanage. By the end of 2014, Rob
and Paul had started building their first orphanage. Building orphanages from flip-flops really could become a reality.
Blake Mycoskie also felt inspired to design a shoe after witnessing child poverty in Argentina. He was so shocked when
he saw children going barefoot because they couldn’t afford shoes that he created a simple canvas shoe based on the
alpargata, a traditional shoe from Spain. In 2006, he began selling Toms.
Mycoskie came up with a business model called One For One: for every pair of Toms a person buys, the company can give
a pair of shoes to a child in a developing country. Volunteers have given more than 35 million pairs of shoes to children.
The company now sells sunglasses using the One to One business model too. When someone buys a pair of sunglasses,
part of the profit can help a person with sight problems in a developing country. The company has helped more than
250,000 people this way.
So, next time you put on your flip-flops for the beach or try on a new pair of shoes, why not choose fashionable footwear
that makes a difference and can change a person’s life?

A bright future
Inspiring Young Futures is a programme run by a charity called Venture Trust, helping young people between 16 and 19. It
has had a huge impact on a lot of young lives. More than 75% of participants show increased confidence and become more
employable, while nine out of ten young people are more involved with services in their community afterwards and have
better relationships with their families.
One young girl’s story is particularly moving. Her brother died when she was 13 and at the same time she was being
bullied. As a result of peer pressure, she was involved with drugs and alcohol. She had no idea who her father was and she
was responsible for looking after her sick mother. She was arrested for attempted murder, spent time in prison and after
her release she was in a homeless shelter. She found things very difficult and ended up breaking into houses and stealing
things. She was sent to prison again.
At this point, the teenager was encouraged to take part in the Inspiring Young Futures project. At the time, she was
addicted to drugs again, she had no routine and her life was chaotic. Working with a Venture Trust worker, she began to
take the first steps to plan her future. The most important one was a week-long outdoors wilderness programme.
The programme is designed to teach participants skills for life. They are taught problem solving and are given advice on
different ways to cope with stress, particularly in new or difficult situations, as well as learning how to set personal goals
and targets. They are also actively encouraged to realise the importance of communication, being organised and building
relationships.
At first, the teenager struggled with the challenges and became very frustrated, but gradually she became more
confident. She had written her own action plan by the end of the week and things have turned out well for her in the end.
She now works in a local sports centre and she rents a flat. She still meets her Venture Trust worker but she now has a
very bright future ahead.

When Shiza met Malala

Malala Yousafzai is well known for her views on human rights and equality in education for girls. She was shot and almost
killed for her beliefs, and at the age of 17 she became the youngest ever Nobel Peace Prize winner.
A year after the attempt on her life, Malala and Shiza Shahid set up The Malala Fund. It helps girls to access education,
provides mentors and support for young girls; sets up education programmes for young refugees and helps provide funds
for educational establishments for girls. So who is Shiza Shahid?
Shiza Shahid was brought up in Islamabad in Pakistan and went to college and university in the USA. She has always had
a strong belief in the power of taking action and empowering young women. When she was 14, she worked with women
in prisons and became a volunteer to aid female prisoners access medical care from female doctors.
After seeing a video of Malala and her friends talking about the problems they faced in their town, Shiza decided to try
to get in touch with Malala. After a series of emails, Shiza met Malala and other young girls and they kept in touch.
They became close friends despite the eight-year age difference. Shiza knows that watching that video changed their lives.
When Malala was shot, Shiza travelled to the UK to visit her in hospital. Later, Shiza made a very important and
life-changing decision. She had a successful career, but she decided to give up her job to work with the Malala Fund. If
she hadn’t made that decision, things would be very different.
The Malala Fund represents girls and women around the world. Shiza is keen to encourage other people to stand up for
what they believe in and build on the success of Malala’s work. It’s important to notice poverty or social problems in your
own area first. It’s easy to ignore what’s happening right under your nose. People have to believe they can make things
happen and change things for the better. If people don’t do anything, things will stay the same.

A new way to watch TV

The popularity of reality TV has steadily grown over the years and in 2013 a new type of reality TV programme began in
the UK: an observational documentary called Gogglebox. It has become a massive hit with British TV viewers and in 2014
won a TV award. Now in its fourth series, it has more than a million viewers. So what’s all the fuss about?
The programme itself sounds very boring. It’s essentially about people around the UK watching TV programmes and
giving their views on what they’ve watched. It’s viewing the viewers. The real stars of the show, however, are the people
themselves. They have become celebrities in their own human interest story!
People like it because it’s normal people giving their views on politicians, news stories or other reality TV shows. They’re
not professional TV critics, so it’s easy to identify with someone in the show. There are married couples of different ages,
flatmates and traditional two-parent families and their children. It takes place in living rooms in different parts of the
country.
TV viewing has gradually changed and there are now more people watching TV alone at home than there are traditional
families with parents and children spending an evening together watching TV. At a time when technology allows people
in the same house to watch different programmes at the same time on different TVs, Gogglebox is actually doing the
opposite. It’s bringing people together.
Our reporter asked viewers what they thought …

Music to their ears

Can you imagine a dog wearing headphones and listening to its own favourite dog music? That may become a reality one
day. Read on and find out what kind of music animals are really into.
According to animal psychologists who specialise in this area of research, animals have very different musical tastes
to humans. This is because animals hear music differently to humans. Humans prefer music that fits in with a certain
range of sounds that are spoken or heard. They also like listening to music that follows the same rhythm as their heart.
Tunes that are the wrong speed or rhythm sound unpleasant and they can make us feel anxious or confused. Animals feel
the same about human music.
A few years ago, researchers who were investigating this area decided to have music composed for tamarin monkeys.
The tamarin monkey makes a sound that is three times higher than a human’s voice and it has a heart which beats twice
as fast as a human’s. When humans hear a tamarin monkey’s cry, it sounds very high-pitched and is not pleasant. The
researchers had two types of music composed for the monkeys: a fast piece based on the monkeys’ own cry and a slower
song, which was more like a ballad and sounded gentle. The monkeys reacted to each piece of music in very different
ways. They became nervous and excitable when they heard the fast music but they were much calmer and more relaxed
while the ballad was playing. It would appear that cats too prefer their own type of cat music to human music.
Dogs, however, are different. They come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, each with their own heart rate and sound range.
Some bigger breeds of dog have almost the same type of vocals as humans and it may be that they like human music
more than smaller dogs do. On the whole, dogs are able to distinguish between different types of music and they react
differently to different types.
So, next time you’re singing along to your favourite song, spare a thought for any animals nearby!
