You now have about a minute to decide which two activities are
the most useful.
A: So, which do you think are the most useful?
B: It’s a difficult question. I think that voluntary work is quite
useful because it helps prepare teenagers for work.
A: Yes. I think that would be really good for them. I think sports
are also useful because teenagers don’t do enough exercise.
B: I don’t agree with you on that. Most of the teenagers I know
are always playing football and other sports.

B: I would probably choose that because it would help teenagers
become more confident.

Sample answers
Which of these activities do you think would be most popular
with students?
A: I think it would be sports. So many young people are into
football and other sports.
B: I agree. I think most young people enjoy playing sports
because it’s good to do something energetic.
What is the advantage of taking part in after-school activities?
B: In general, teenagers spend a lot of time studying so it’s
important to take advantage of your free time.
A: That’s true. Doing activities outside of school means you stop
thinking about your lessons and exams.
B: And you also get to make new friends.
A: Yes, you’re right.
What other useful activities can students take part in?
A: In my town, there are lots of different clubs for teenagers,
like a computer club, where they write programmes and
play games.
B: Yes. There’s also an outdoor activities club, which I go to.
We do different activities like climbing and canoeing. It’s a lot
of fun.
Do you think students have enough time to do all the things they
would like to do?
B: Well, I think we get a lot of work at school but we still have
plenty of free time.
A: That’s true. We’re always complaining about the amount of
homework but we still have plenty of time in the evening and
at the weekend.
Some people say students are given too much homework.
What do you think?
A: As we said, we do have enough time to relax but I still think
we get too much.
B: I agree. I don’t think all our homework is necessary and
sometimes it feels like a waste of time.
What new subjects do you think schools should teach in
the future?
B: That’s a good question.
A: I think we’ll need to have more technology lessons because
we’ll all be working with computers in the future.
B: I’m not sure about that. I think computers will be doing all
the work so they won’t need us. Maybe we should have more
lessons in creative subjects like music or art instead.
WRITING
Sample answer
TV Series Review: Stranger Things
Stranger Things is an American science fiction series with lots of
action and special effects. It’s quite frightening at times so it’s
not a series for everyone.
It is about a group of teenagers who experience strange things
in their town. One of their friends disappears but when they
look for him, the story becomes more mysterious. A girl called
Eleven suddenly appears but no one knows who she is. The
series follows the group of teenagers as they try to solve the
mysteries.
At times, it is difficult to follow the plot but the series is still
enjoyable. The actors are fantastic and the star for me is Gaten
Matarazzo, who plays Dustin Henderson. He is definitely the
funniest character and he makes some great jokes.
In my view, Stranger Things, is much cleverer than most of the
other series that have been on the TV recently. The actors are
fantastic and the story is also well-written. It always makes you
want to watch the next episode.

Sample answers
Student A
In these photos, the people are doing creative activities. In
the first one, the boy is making a pot. I’m not sure what you
call the activity but you make things from a type of mud. You
use a special wheel and you heat it in the oven. He seems to
be concentrating hard. He probably finds it enjoyable to make
things like this. In the second picture, the boy looks like he’s
practising the trumpet. He’s in a classroom so maybe he’s
learning a new song. He might be enjoying the sounds the
trumpet is making and the fact he can play something new.
Student B
I strongly believe that it’s important for young people to do
creative activities. We spend a lot of time studying subjects like
Maths and languages so it’s good to have other interests like art
or music.
Student B
The photos show two very different places. In the first picture,
there is a narrow village street with some old houses. It looks
quite peaceful, whereas in the second picture we can see a busy
city scene. There are lots of tower blocks and it looks like there’s
a sports stadium where people can run. People probably choose
these places for different reasons. If you live in a village, it’s more
peaceful and you might know all your neighbours. In the second,
the people probably want to live near the city centre because
there are facilities like the stadium or lots of shops, which you
don’t have in a village.
Student A
Personally, I’d prefer to live in a village because it’s more relaxing.
You probably don’t have so much traffic and pollution and you
can enjoy the outdoors. I love adventure sports and if I lived in a
village, I could do more of them.
2ND EDITION B1+
TASK 2
Sample answers
A: Shall we start with moving house? I think that’s quite hard.
B: I think it depends. If you were moving far away, it would be
more difficult because you’d have to leave your friends.
A: Of course, but if you stayed in the same area, it might
be easier.
B: And what about revising for an exam?
A: Personally, I find it hard to concentrate. How about you?
B: That’s true. It’s not easy when you have to organise your
studies. You can always find something more interesting
to do.
A: What do you think about starting a new school?
B: It’s similar to moving house. If you’ve got friends at the new
school it’s not too bad.
A: Yes, but it would be really hard if you didn’t know anyone.
B: What’s your opinion about performing in a concert?
A: I play the cello in an orchestra and I get really nervous before
a concert. I think a lot of the other musicians do as well.
B: I can understand that. I suppose everyone has to play their
best so there’s a lot of stress.
A: Definitely, although it’s okay when you start playing.
B: And what do you think about training for a sports event?
A: I imagine that the challenges are mostly physical.
B: I agree with you there. If you’re trying to build up your
strength, you have to work on it all the time.
You now have about a minute to decide which two activities are
the most challenging for young people.
A: So, which do you think are the most challenging?
B: It’s hard to say. They are all difficult in different ways but I
think starting a new school might be the hardest.
A: Why do you say that?
B: Because you’d probably have to make new friends, which isn’t
always easy.
A: That’s true but I think moving house might be even more
difficult because you have to make new friends and get used
to living in a new place.
B: And what about the other situations?
A: I don’t think any of them are as challenging as moving house
or starting a new school. They’re all stressful but not for such
a long time.
B: That’s true and you can choose not to play in a concert or
take part in a sports event.
A: So, perhaps we should make a decision now?
B: Well, I’d say moving house and starting a new school.
A: Me too.

TASK 2
Student A
Both of these photos show people doing different sports. In
the first, there’s a man who seems to be climbing. He’s wearing
a helmet and he’s got some ropes and he looks a bit nervous. I
think rock climbing is quite difficult so people who choose this
sport probably like a challenge. On the other hand, the second
picture shows people playing a game of basketball. They all
look quite serious so maybe they’re playing in a match. I think
some people choose sports like basketball because they’re quite
competitive and because they like playing with other people.
Student B
I would definitely prefer to play basketball. I don’t like heights so
rock climbing wouldn’t be very good for me.
Student B
The photos show people in very different situations. In the first
one, there’s a man and a woman who seem to be playing a video
game. They must be playing something quite exciting although
I’m not sure whether they’re playing together or against each
other. In contrast, the second picture shows a woman who’s
lying on the grass reading a book and listening to music. I think
she wants to relax on her own whereas the people in the first
picture want to have fun together.
Student A
Personally, I’d prefer to spend my time reading and listening to
music because it’s much more relaxing than playing computer
games. I just find them annoying and stressful.
TASK 3
Talk to each other about how each of these ideas might make
your school more environmentally friendly and why.
A: Shall we start with teaching students about the
environment?
B: Okay … I think this could be a good idea because some young
people don’t understand the problems we are facing.
A: That’s true. If you don’t know about the problems, you can’t
deal with them.
B: And what about having a vegetable garden?
A: Well, it would be quite nice but I don’t think it would make
much difference to the environment.
B: I’m not sure if I agree. If everyone grew their own vegetables,
it would make a difference.
A: I suppose so. And what do you think about organising a
green club?
B: What do you think a green club is?
A: I think that the members would do different activities related
to the environment.
B: It sounds like a good idea but it might only attract people
who are already interested in the environment.
A: I see your point. And what about recycling course books?
B: That could be a really good idea because students only use
their books for a year. Then they throw them away.
A: You’re right. It could make a big difference if they
were reused.
B: What do you think about putting up posters?
A: Personally, I think they can be really useful. We have them
at our school, reminding us to use less water or recycle food
packaging.
2ND EDITION B1+
You now have about a minute to decide which two ideas would
be the most useful.
A: So, which do you think are the most useful?
B: I definitely think that recycling course books would be a
good idea.
A: I agree with you because it would save a lot of paper.
B: Yes, and it would also be good for students who can’t afford
new course books.
A: Which other one would you say is most useful?
B: I agree with what you said about posters. I think they can be a
great way of telling students about recycling.
A: Okay. So, do we agree on recycling course books and putting
up posters?
B: I think so.
TASK 4
Do you do any of these activities at your school?
A: As I said, we have posters at our school but we don’t really do
anything else.
B: We have got a vegetable garden in our school where we grow
organic vegetables. It’s mostly the younger children who work
on it though.
Why is it important for schools to teach young people about the
environment?
B: I think it’s important because we need to look after our planet
but sometimes young people don’t know how to do that.
A: That’s true. Some of my friends know about environmental
problems but a lot of them don’t know anything at all.
What other ways can schools become more environmentally
friendly?
A: Nowadays, a lot of schools do things to help the environment,
like using solar energy or using computers instead of books
and paper.
B: Yes, they do that in my school and it’s been really successful.
It’s also allowed the school to save money, which they can use
for other things like school trips.
Do you think people are doing enough to protect the environment?
B: That’s an interesting question. People are doing more than
they used to but there’s still a lot more for us to do.
A: I agree. I think we all recycle more but there’s still too much
waste. This causes water and air pollution which is bad for the
planet and for us.
Some people think we should do more to protect the oceans.
What do you think?
A: I certainly agree with that. There are some areas of the
oceans which are full of plastic waste.
B: Yes and this can be terrible for the animals and plants which
live in the oceans. It can also affect sea birds as well because
they eat the plastic.
What environmental problems do you think will exist in the
future?
B: That’s a good question.
A: I’ve heard that we are currently polluting space. It sounds
crazy but there’s lots of waste going around our planet.
B: I’m not sure if that will be a big problem though. I think
things like rising temperatures and sea level are going to be
the biggest problems. They will affect the lives of millions
of people.

1 (ESSAY)
Nowadays young people can do different types of voluntary
work, such as helping old people with their housework, teaching
other young people or helping out with community projects.
There are several reasons why young people should take part in
voluntary work.
The main reason for volunteering is to help other people who
need it. If you can help out by doing their shopping or tidying up
their garden, it will make their lives easier. It is important to help
each other because you might need help yourself one day.
Another reason is that you can learn new skills by doing
voluntary work. There are lots of skills we learn at school
but voluntary work can give you more practical experience.
For example, you might learn how to cook or how to make a
shopping list. These are all important skills for the future.
Finally, it can also help you meet new people. It is always
interesting to meet people with different points of view and you
might even make good friends.
To sum up, doing voluntary work can be a very positive
experience with benefits for everyone.

2 (E MAIL)
Hi Blanca,
Thanks for your email. It was great to hear from you.
I think you’ll like my town because there are lots of fun things to
do. There’s a cool open-air swimming pool that we can go to and
we can meet my friends there. In the evenings, we can either
watch a film at the cinema or play ten-pin bowling.
It’s quite hot here at the moment so you should bring
comfortable clothes, like shorts and t-shirts. You might need a
sweater or jacket in the evenings because it won’t be so warm.
Don’t forget to bring your swimming costume so we can go
swimming!
When you get to the airport, you should take the train to the
main station in my town. If you send me a message when you’re
on the train, I’ll come and meet you at the station and we can
get a bus to my house.
If you’ve got any other questions, please let me know. I can’t
wait to see you!
Love,
Claire
