a []
Dr Mann was a specialist in building tiny cameras.
b Q
Dr Mann had experience in working with eye
devices.
c []
Dr Mann was an expert in technology which
connects humans with man-made devices.
5 What does Spence hope people will learn from his
project?
36-year-old C a n a d ia n film -m a k e r R o b S p e n ce
doesn ’t se e m unusual. You wouldn’t realise it at first, but
one of his eyes is false. But this is not the most unusual thing
about him. Inside this false eye Spence has a wireless video
camera.This camera is not connected to his brain and has
not improved his eyesight. Instead it records everything he
sees.The camera runs on a very small battery and it has a
transmitter, a device which allows Spence to send an image
of what he is seeing at any moment to a computer.
Spence damaged his right eye at the age of thirteen while he
was playing with his grandfather s gun on a visit to Ireland.
After the accident his vision got worse until he became
completely blind in that eye.Three years ago, he had an
operation to remove this eye and to insert a false one.
And it is this false eye that now contains his miniature video
camera.
Spence knew that building a camera that was small enough
to fit inside the eye would not be easy, so he contacted D r
Steve Mann, a cyborgs scientist at the University of Toronto.
Cyborgs are machines that combine natural and artificial
systems.Together, Spence and Mann succeeded in building
a device which Time magazine described as one of the best
inventions of the year.

Challenge!
Would you be happy to be filmed by Rob Spence?
Why? / Why not?
Even though his project is still quite new, Spence says that many
people have already told him that they don’t like being filmed.
He finds this strange as the same people have no problem with
the hundreds of surveillance cameras that film them every
day at school, in the underground and in shopping centres. He
hopes that his project will make people think more about how
governments and organisations monitor these cameras and the
information they record.

3 What happened after Deborah divorced Clive?
. * *
When British musician, Clive Wearing, woke up on Wednesday
27 March, 1985, he could not answer a simple question or even
remember his wife’s name. His wife, Deborah, called the doctor.
1
But that evening his wife arrived home from work to
an empty flat, and later that night, a taxi-driver found Clive
walking around the streets. His wife took him straight to
hospital.
When Clive went into a coma, the doctors finally diagnosed a
dangerous virus . 2
The doctors doubted that he would
ever get better. However, they were wrong. Clive got better
physically, but unfortunately his mental condition did not
improve. His story is thought to be one of the most shocking
cases of amnesia ever recorded.
The one thing that Clive did recall when he woke up was that
he had a wife, and he knew that he loved her, but Clive now
had a short-term memory of less than thirty seconds . 3______

Whenever Deborah left him, even if it was ju st to go to the

Clive spent seven years in a psychiatric ward in a hospital,
before moving to a special unit for people with brain injuries.
Unfortunately, his amnesia did not improve . 4
She got a
divorce and tried to make a new life for herself.
But Deborah still loved Clive. She realised that she couldn’t live
without him and nine years later, she rang him and asked him
if he would like to get married again. Of course, he couldn’t
remember getting married the first time or getting divorced,
but he agreed. 5______

questions 1 -5 .
The Lady of the Lamp
Probably one of the most famous people in the medical profession
is the English nurse Florence Nightingale. Florence was born into a
wealthy family in 1820, and as she grew up, she developed an interest
in helping others. By the age of seventeen, she had decided that she
wanted to become a nurse. At first, her parents would not let her,
because they believed it was not a suitable profession for a woman.
It was not until Florence was 31 that her father eventually gave his
permission, and she was able to go to Germany to train as a nurse.
By 1853, Florence was running a women's hospital in London.
However, her services were soon needed abroad because of the
Crimean War, which started in 1854. She travelled to Scutari in
Turkey to help the wounded soldiers, and she was horrified by the
hospital conditions she found there. Many of the injured men hadn't
washed for weeks, and they were sleeping in dirty, overcrowded
rooms. Disease spread quickly in these conditions, so many of the
patients died. At that time, only one in six patient deaths were due to
actual wounds; other deaths were due to infections and disease.
Florence and her nurses soon went about changing the situation.
They set up a kitchen to provide better food for the patients and a
laundry to wash their clothes. Florence also reported the conditions
to the War Office back home, and forced them to carry out important
sanitary reforms in the military hospitals. In February 1855, the
death rate of patients was 42%; by June 1855, it had fallen to 2%.
Florence gradually became known by her patients as 'the Lady
of the Lamp', because she was the only woman allowed in the
hospital after eight o'clock at night, so the soldiers became used
to seeing her holding a lantern. She hardly slept, and she was
on her feet for twenty hours a day. The wounded men loved and
respected her, and she was seen as a hero back home in England.
However, it was not fame that Florence wanted, and when the war
finished in 1856, she returned to England in secret. She wrote a
book called Notes on Nursing, and met Queen Victoria to discuss
the future of nursing. The Nightingale School and Home for Nurses
opened in 1860, and five years later the first trained Nightingale
nurses started work. Florence passed away peacefully in her sleep
in her own house on 13th August, 1910, atthe age of 90.

A ___________________
The Erasmus Programme is an exchange programme which gives
students the chance to work or study in a different country while they
are still at university. It was set up by the European Union. You can
stay for anything between three months and an academic year.
B ___________________
The scheme takes its name from the Dutch philosopher, Erasmus,
whose full name was Desiderius Erasmus of Rotterdam. Erasmus was
very open-minded. He lived and worked in many countries around the
world in order to learn more about different cultures.
C ___________________
Since it started in 1987, Erasmus has grown dramatically. The first
year, 3,244 students took part. Nowadays, around 200,000 students
from 31 different countries participate each year.
D ___________________
Are you studying for a diploma or a degree at a recognised
university? Have you already completed the first year of your course?
Then you’re eligible for a place on Erasmus.
E ___________________
Erasmus is a time for learning. You will gain an understanding of your
host country and be part of an international community of students.
Having Erasmus on your CV can offer you many opportunities, as
employers see it as a positive educational experience.
F ___________________
Erasmus is no more expensive than studying in your own country
because you do not have to pay extra tuition fees to the university
that you visit. For the additional expense of living abroad, you can
apply for an Erasmus grant or scholarship.

People who think firefighting is a job for men would be
surprised to learn that there are now over 230 women in the
London Fire Brigade. One of these women is Dany Cotton, who
has been with the fire service for more than 22 years.
Dany spends a lot of her time trying to change the image of the
Fire Brigade. She recently took part in a national campaign
promoting firefighting as a career for girls in secondary schools.
During the campaign, she explained that women do the same
training and assessment as men and they are expected to do the
same jobs. Both men and women must be fit and healthy, but as
long as they pass the physical tests, height isn't important.
However. Dany's favourite question is this: "How can a woman
carry a man down a ladder from a building which is on fire?'
She says that in all her years of firefighting, she has never seen
anyone try this, although she was trained to do it. She describes
26
Unit 3 ■ A good job
this as something we only see in films and explains that today's
firefighters enter a building as a team to rescue people.
Dany says that saving people from burning buildings is not the only
thing that firefighters do. One of the most important jobs they do
these days is in the community. Fire officers visit thousands of homes,
businesses and schools each year giving advice that can often save
lives. Women are often good at doing this because of their ability to
communicate well.
Most of Dany's work in the Fire Brigade these days is as a manager in
an office, but she still attends emergencies. One of the things she finds
most interesting about her job is this combination of using her skills
with people and working in real life emergency situations.

O ne sum m er evening in Tucson, USA, a man called Tom Boyle
perform ed an am azing act o f strength to rescue a cyclist w h o
had been run over by a car.
Alter shopping at the mall, Boyle and his wife were in their truck at the
exit of the car park waiting to drive onto the main road. Suddenly the car
in front, a Camaro, drove out and ran straight over an 18-year-old cyclist.
1______ But the driver of the Camaro didn’t notice and he drove off with
the cyclist still underneath!
Boyle and his wife could not believe their eyes and Boyle did not take
much time to react. ---------- When the Camaro stopped ten metres up
the road, the cyclist started hitting the side of the car, screaming in pain. As
Boyle ran towards the car, the driver got out. Without stopping to think,
Boyle lifted up the 3,000 kg Camaro so that the driver could pull the
cyclist out. About 45 seconds later, Boyle put the car back down onto the
road and went to help the cyclist.

EXAM TASK - Reading
Read the text and decide if the statem ents (1 -6 ) are true (T)
or false (F). Put X in the correct column.
Are you looking for a more interesting alternative to your weekly
shop? Why not try one of the many farmers' markets which have
sprung up all overthe country? With a fine selection of the very
freshest fruit and vegetables, as well as bread, cheese, meat and
honey, these farmers' markets offer the shopper both variety
and superior quality, as well as a pleasant change from a boring
trip to the supermarket.
Farmers' markets have been popular in sm allertowns for many
years, and they also have a long tradition in parts of London.
Even though the majority of people prefer shopping in large
supermarkets, particularly on weekdays, shopping at local farmers'
markets is becoming a more and more popular weekend activity.
These markets offer a chance for farm ers to sell fresh produce
directly to the public. This direct contact with the producers gives
customers the opportunity to ask questions about the produce they
are buying. This is exactly what appeals to the city shoppers who
frequent these markets - they want to know where their food
comes from and how it is made. They are looking for fresh, highquality produce from local suppliers, and an authentic taste of the
country. However, it isn't only city folk who are benefiting from
this boom in farmers' markets, as tourists are also keen to sample
genuine UK produce such as organic sausages and home-made
bread.
Edinburgh Farmers' Market is one of the most prestigious
markets in the UK and has won many awards for its high-quality
produce. It takes place every Saturday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., just
belowthe impressive Edinburgh Castle, which provides a rather
dramatic setting. Visitors to the market can find a wide variety of
local products, including fresh seafood. There are even cookery
demonstrations where you can learn how to really make the most of
the delicious home-grown produce. Whether you are simply doing
your weekly shopping, or looking for something special to buy,
a visit to one of these farmers' markets is always an interesting
experience.
T
1 Most customers still like to do their shopping at
supermarkets.
2 Farmers’ markets are popular because the producer
sells straight to the customer.
"
Farmers’ markets give producers and customers a
chance to discu ss the products.
4 Most shoppers at the markets don’t care about the
„
origin of the produce.
5 People from overseas also shop at the markets.
6 Edinburgh has a monthly farmers’ market.

EXAM STRATEGY: Use of English
EXAM TASK - Speaking
• When you have finished completing the gaps, read the text
again to check that it makes sense.
• Remember: sometimes you need to use a prefix to create
an adjective with negative meaning.
You will be asked to talk about young people’s lifestyles.
Consider the following issues:
EXAM TASK - Use of English
Now work in pairs. One of you is the examiner, the other is
a student. D iscuss the following questions:
Complete the text with the correct form of the words
in brackets.
• What unhealthy things do young people eat and drink?
Why? What do you think constitutes a healthy diet?
• How do you think young people feel about exercising?
Should this change? Why? / Why not?
• Do young people generally do healthy activities in their
free time? How can they get a good balance between
having fun, working and resting?
• What changes would you suggest to make the lives of
young people healthier?
Are the inhabitants of an urban area like New York City less
healthy than their nearby neighbours in rural Sullivan County?
The results of a university study published 1______________
(recent) suggest not. We generally think of city lifestyles as
being 2________________ (health) because of the problems
of noise, pollution, crime, large populations and a very
3________________ (stress) daily routine. Many of us associate
big city living with 4
(ill) and exhaustion, and
dream of leaving an urban environment to live in the country.
We tend to believe that fresh air and peace and quiet will help
us lead a 5________________ (calm) and less hectic existence.
But the study into health and lifestyle habits in urban and rural
US counties concluded that 84% of th e 6________________
(healthy) counties were rural. One of the reasons given
for this surprising result was that the city populations still
had better access to 7________________ (educate) and
healthcare facilities and more job opportunities. High rates
o f 8________________ (employ) in rural areas mean that the
local population is more likely to buy cheaper, less healthy
food products, leading to problems such as obesity and
heart disease. Also, a low er 9________________ (economy)
status is often associated with smoking and a more
sedentary lifestyle. Meanwhile, there has been investment
in the cities to provide more facilities such as gym s, sports
centres and open spaces for leisure, and 10________________
(consequence) there has been an improvement in citizens'
health and quality of life.

lthough most of the time capsules in the world today
are buried underground, some of them have also been
'buried' in space. Two of the most famous are known as the
Voyager Golden Records. These were records which were sent
up into space inside spacecrafts Voyager 1 and Voyager 2
in 1977. They contain messages to any intelligent life in
space that might find them. The two records contain sounds
and images which show the many different aspects of life and
culture on Earth. There are greetings from people speaking
in 55 different languages and also recordings of a variety of
natural sounds, such as those made by the sea, the wind and
thunder during a storm. They even added animal sounds, like
the songs of birds and whales. And finally, there are musical
selections from different cultures and periods in history.
A
The images on the records are both in black and white and
colour. The first images are of scientific interest. They show the
solar system and its planets, as well as images of animals, insects,
plants, DN A, human anatomy and reproduction. The images of humans
show food, architecture and people in portraits, with examples of them
doing typical daily activities.
As the spacecraft are extremely small and space is incredibly large, the
probability of the records being discovered is very small. Even if they are
ever found by aliens, it is likely to be far into the future. Voyager 1 will
travel through space for about another 4 0 ,0 0 0 years before it reaches
the nearest star.

MADE FUN
One of the best crime dramas on TV at the moment is the
American series Bones. The programme puts a completely
new perspective on criminal investigation as each episode is
about the mystery behind some human remains. These are
found by FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth and taken to forensic
anthropologist Dr Temperance 'Bones' Brennan and her team
for analysis.
Despite the serious subject matter, the show contains an
element of light-hearted comedy. Much of the humour
revolves around the central character Dr Brennan, who is cold
and unemotional, with no social skills, and her relationship
with Agent Booth, who is much more friendly and outgoing.
Dr Brennan uses the phrase 'I don't know what that means'
Unit 6 ■ Mystery
Where did he work?
every time someone talks about pop culture, while Booth often
has to translate her scientific language into words that ordinary
people can understand. Predictably, Booth and Dr Brennan do,
eventually, become a couple.
Although the show has been criticised for making forensic science
seem simple, it has been very popular with TV audiences all over
the world. This is mainly because of the dual storyline about
the solving of a crime and the relationship between the main
characters. The show's success is reflected in the length of time
it has been running. Seven seasons have been filmed since the
series began, and if the writers are able to continue producing
such a gripping storyline, it will continue to be popular.

It was not Lisbeth Salander's lack of emotional
involvement, but her appearance that most upset
Dragan Armansky, the director of the security company
where she worked. Milton Security had an extremely
conservative image and this small, anorexic young
woman with short hair and piercings did not fit in. She
had a wasp tattoo about two centimetres long on her
neck, a tattooed ring around the biceps of her left arm
and another on her left ankle. In the summer, Arm ansky
saw that she had a dragon tattooed on her left shoulder.
Her hair was naturally red, but she dyed it black.
She did not, in fact, have an eating disorder, Arm ansky
was sure of that. On the contrary, she seemed to
consume every kind of junk food. She had simply been
born thin with small bones that made her look girlish. She
was twenty-four, but she sometimes looked fourteen.
Her movements were quick and spidery, and when she
was working at the computer, her fingers flew over the
keys. She was too thin to ever become a model, but with
the right make-up, advertisers all over the world could
have used herface. Sometimes, she wore black lipstick.
In spite of the tattoos and the pierced nose and eyebrows,
Salander was, in fact, the most competent investigator
he had met in all hisyears in the business. During the
four years she had worked for him, she had never once
made a mistake or handed in a bad report. Arm ansky
was convinced that she possessed a unique talent.
She had imagination and she always came back with
something different from what he expected. Sometimes
he thought that her ability to collect information was
magic. She somehow managed to get underthe skin of
the person she was investigating. If they had any deep,
dark secrets, she would find them immediately.

meet your future partner? Read the following stories and

I saw Linda's profile on a dating website. She looked really
beautiful and I arranged to meet her. When I saw Linda, I
realised the photo she had used w as from ten years ago.
She w as much older than in the photo. I felt very deceived
and I never used a dating site again. Other people should
be careful and remember that photos may give a false
impression.
C Sandra Phillips
I met Steve on a dating website. He invited me to go and stay
with him in South Africa. We had a romantic w eek together
and when he said that he needed som e money to start a
new business, I happily gave him £10,000. Of course, I never
heard from him again once I returned home.
D Alan Church
I'd moved to Edinburgh to be with my girlfriend, but we soon
split up and then I tried online dating. Everything felt very
natural when I met Susan. The following December, our son

The highlight of the day was the evening because it was the Lantern

lanterns are also released into the river as a way to remember lost

Eco-tourism at its best
This month marks the tenth anniversary of
ResponsibleTravel.com, an ethical travel website
launched by entrepreneur Justin Francis. When he
started the site, Justin was told by many experts that
his idea wouldn't work, because people would not be
interested in an ethical com pany.1_________
These holidays are aimed at people who want a really
authentic experience instead of just ticking o ff a list of
things to se e.2_________ If you enjoy bird-watching, you
can stay in a bed and breakfast in the South of England
that was built with local materials and provides a healthy
breakfast made from local products.3__________ Here,
rainwater is recycled and travellers have the chance to
m eetthe local people.
It is longer journeys that are the most problematic for
ethical travel companies because of the pollution caused
by the flights. At first, ResponsibleTravel.com supported
the idea of carbon o ffse ts.4_________ However, two
years ago, Justin stopped offering carbon offsets
because he could see that the system was corrupt.
ResponsibleTravel.com is ethical in every way. Right from
the start, only companies which showed real interest
in the environment were invited to appear on Justin's
website. And he doesn't charge them for advertising on
his site .5__________The fact that Justin's business has
just reached its first $100 million in sales shows that this
system works.
6_________ Customers are asked to rate their holiday
from 1 to 5, where 1 is disappointing and 5 is the best
holiday ever. The average mark is 4.5, which shows
that most travellers are extremely satisfied with their
experience.7_________ It's a winning combination.
A This is a way for people to compensate for the amount
of carbon dioxide they have produced by flying abroad.
B His income is based on an honesty system where travel
companies declare how much money they have made
by appearing on his website.
C However, he proved everyone wrong and
ResponsibleTravel.com now offers eco-tourists more
than 4,000 holiday experiences.
D The company doesn’t only support good practice in
alternative tourism.
E However, he makes sure that each trip is advantageous
for local communities.
Get Ready for your Exam
F The choice is enormous.
G However, ResponsibleTravel.com has not only
succeeded financially.
H Not only that, but through their own enjoyment,
they have helped a local community and the
environment.
I After two years in existence, the team developed
a new initiative.
J Alternatively, you can travel to a remote island in
the South Pacific.
EXAM STRATEGY: Use of English
• Look carefully at the other verb forms in the
sentence before and after each gap. They may help
you to identify which tense to use.
• Try to focus on the general meaning of the
sentences, as well as on the verb forms.
• Remember that you can only complete each gap
with the verb given in the brackets. Do not add
modal verbs (can, could) unless they are included
in the brackets.

C h a lle n g e !
Write about your favourite TV advert or one which you

3 The clip was much more successful than the

4 People weren’t sure how the video was made.
5 The people in the clip knew each other well.
6 The clip was not made to advertise a product.
What makes an
advert 'infectious'?
Viral marketing sends a short video clip
out to social networks. The ideal video
is surprising and original, and viewers
then send it on to their contacts online.
The cam paign spreads quickly, a bit like
a virus! Below are three of the most
successful viral cam paigns.
f i Nike R10 Football Boots
This video clip featured world-famous
footballer, Ronaldinho, wearing these
new boots and performing some
incredible football tricks. It provoked a m assive debate about
whether the clip was actually real or computer edited and this
encouraged even more people to view it. More than 50 million people
watched this clip globally.

Unit 9 ■ Money, money, money!

B Transport for London
This clip aimed to make car drivers more aware of cyclists on
the road. Viewers were asked to count the number of passes
made by some people playing basketball. A s a result, the
majority of people watching didn't see a bear walking across
the screen! The cam paign was aiming for a target audience of
150,000 people, but the video had over 5.5 million viewers in its
first month, making it one of the top cam paigns of 2008.
C Levi 501s
This clip showed four friends doing different acrobatic tricks to
try and jump into a pair of Levi jeans. It was seen by an amazing
2.5 million viewers in its first week and later the number reached
14 million! Although this concept wasn’t new - Ray-Ban had
launched a video called Guy catches glasses with face just a
year before - it still managed to attract a lot of attention and
interest.

qualifications. I got married ver-f •foung and I made the
wrong decision. I had three children so I staged at home and
didn't work. I got divorced when the children were small so
I went to live with rmj mother. I didn't meet another partner
because I wasn't able to go out. I never went abroad because
I was always broke. I've had a hard life.
Use the words to make third conditional sentences.
Remember to use a comma (,) where necessary.
1 If / Beth / not spend / all her pocket money / she / be
able to / buy / a new phone
2 If / we / go / to the right gate / we / not m iss / the flight
3 I / run out / of petrol / if / I / not find / a petrol station

Do you agree that the

A In conclusion, I would say that the m oney you earn is
one im portant p art of a job, but not the only one. In my
opinion, the place where you work and the relationship
with colleagues are just as important.
B It is hard to deny that employees who are highly-paid
have fewer worries than those who earn less money.
It is difficult to enjoy a job when you cannot pay your bills
at the end o f the m onth. It is also tru e that people work
better when they feel their employers are positive about
their work. Paying an employee a good salary is one way
of showing you value their work. It seems clear then,
that the m oney you earn is an im portant p art o f a job.

American musician and artist Daniel
Johnston has spent most of his life
fighting bipolar disorder. This condition
makes people suffer from changes in
their mood and often causes depression.
Although he learned to play the piano at
an early age, his first obsession was with
drawing.4_______His favourite storyline
was always 'good against bad'.
As a teenager, Daniel used to record his
own music on tapes and exchange them
with friends. 5______ Eventually, some
record shops started selling them. Showing
signs of instability, he refused a recording
contract from one company because they
had also signed Metallica, a band he
considered to be evil. He was later sent to
a mental hospital.

eragon
is a best-selling fantasy novel
written by the teenage author
Christopher Paolini. It is the first in a series o f four books
called The Inheritance Cycle. The series tells the story of a
farm boy called Eragon.
Eragon is a journey of experience, revenge, romance and
betrayal. It is set in a land of mystery and magic called
Alagaesia. Eragon is a norm al teenager when we first meet
him , although both o f his parents are dead and he lives with
his uncle on a farm. However, his life changes when he finds
a dragons egg on a hunting expedition. W hen the dragon
hatches, Eragon becomes a Dragon Rider
and the real adventure begins.
One of the strengths o f the novel is the
plot, which holds the reader’s attention
from beginning to end. The m ain character
is brave and likeable and he has some
fascinating adventures. I loved the twist at
the end.
W hat I liked m ost about the book was the
relationship that Eragon has with his dragon,
Saphira. The reader sees their friendship
developing and by the end o f the story they
come to trust each other totally. I would
definitely recom m end Eragon to all teenage
readers, but especially to those who enjoy
fantasy literature.

An Invaluable Experience
A Tom
My friend talked me into volunteering on a historical preservation project
one summer, and I have to say, I didn't regret my decision to take part at
all. In fact, it turned out to be a perfect place to spend my holiday-the
countryside was wonderful, there was a lovely town nearby and the castle
we were working at was really interesting. It all made for a great working
environment with a strong sense of teamwork. I made friends with
people from all overthe world during my stay, and the local people were
extremely frie n d ly-th ey were very happy to show us around the area and
the nearby town. We did a lot of sightseeing thanks to them, and we felt
we'd had the chance to really get to knowthe local community.
B Lucy
I didn't really want to do any voluntary work, but after I finished my
degree, I couldn't find a job and I was unemployed until I happened to
meet Barbara, one of my mum's friends. She mentioned she was looking
for someone to handle all the administrative tasks at the refugee charity
where she worked. Needless to say, I've gained invaluable experience
while I've been here, which is going to come in very handy when I start
job-hunting again. I can now clearly demonstrate on my CV that I've got
good interpersonal and organisational skills. I've also found outthatthis
is actually the career I want to pursue. Thanks to the six months I've spent
working here, I've got a really good feel for what charity work is like and
hope to find a permanent position doing a similar job soon.
C Lucas
I don't really understand some of my friends who aren't interested in
volunteering or won't even contemplate doing any voluntary work. I really
do believe that as a volunteer you're not only helping the community, but
you're also helping yourself. Thanks to my voluntary work, which was
mainly to do with restoring the ruins of an ancient castle, I learned new
skills and also quite a lot about myself. I found out I'm quite a methodical
worker with far more patience than I everthought I had. This insight has
helped me form a better picture of myself. When I came back from my
time on the voluntary scheme, I applied to do completely different college
courses from those I had previously planned on doing.
D Richard
After reading an article about an archaeological project in my area, I was
really interested in the research going on there, and I decided to visit
the site to see if I could get involved in some way. I was introduced to
the volunteering coordinator, who explained that quite a lot of work had
already been done, but there was still quite a lot left to do. We talked
about the aims of the archaeological research and the way the work was
organised. I loved the level of enthusiasm everyone had forthe project
so I signed up to help out over the summer. The experience really helped
to improve my interpersonal skills and I feel much more self-confident
now and ready to deal with any kind of challenge that comes my way in
the future.

Not everyone decides to do voluntary work for completely selfless
reasons. Some people get involved because they want to see new
places, meet new people or experience new things. That's fine,
but before committing yourself to anything, it's a good idea to do
some research on the kinds of projects available and the type of work
involved. Volunteering isn't just about having a good time; there is
often hard work to be done too, so it's good to have a clear idea of
what will be expected of you before you sign up. Going into it with
open eyes and realistic expectations will definitely help you get the
most out of it.

Many of us have become accustomed to using Google
Maps, and nearly everyone has appreciated the
service it provides.1_______At first, people were very
enthusiastic about it .2
Shortly after Google
Street View was launched, many bloggers and other
Internet users started to have fun finding unflattering
pictures of people in compromising situations and
then posting them on blogs and social-networking
site s.3______ They hadn't given their permission to
be photographed. At the time, the company did not
make any attempt to blur people's faces or obscure
anyone's identity. In addition, the pictures on Google
Street View were taken using cameras placed high up
on top of ca rs.4
A s a result there were a lot of
disputes and arguments. Some people insisted that
the database should be deleted.
5______ The growing complaints drew the attention
of council officials all over Europe. They argued that
Google had collected a huge amount of data illegally.
Consequently, Google was forced to respond and they
withdrew the service. They said that the company
had received very few requests to remove a photo
for privacy reasons, but that in future they would
blur out faces so that the identities of the people
captured in the pictures would be protected.6______
The company has promised that before it re-launches
Street View, it will have solved all of the privacy
issues.
A Authorities began to receive dozens of letters
of complaint.
B Not surprisingly, the people in the photographs
weren’t happy.
C This service enables us to view maps of towns
and cities as well as rural areas worldwide, just at
the click of a button.
D However, Google’s latest venture to provide more
information to users has raised a lot of questions.
E In the end, Google had to withdraw the service.
F They also said that they would warn people about
the camera visits in advance.
G This meant that some photos even showed the
insides of people’s homes.
H In many of these, people expressed their
annoyance about having their privacy invaded.

For and against essay
The world is a better place with m obile phones.
D IS C U S S .
T here are few people today who could survive w ithout their
m obile p h o n e s.N evertheless, the invention o f the mobile
phone also has its draw backs that people tend to forget
about.
T here is no denying th at m obile phones have a num ber o f
advantages. Parents o f teenagers can give their children
m ore freedorn if they take their phones with them when
they go o u ld ^ a d d U ip p ) the m obile is useful for teenagers
for getting hom e as all they have to do is dial their parents’
num ber and the family taxi will arrive at the arranged time
free o f charge.
CHowevgJ)n o t all people know how to use a m obile phone
with sufficient respect and trying to sleep on public
tran sp o rt these days has becom e impossible. Fam ily visits
have also lost out as younger m em bers spend the afternoon
texting friends o r playing gam es when before they would
have been interacting with the rest o f the family.
Divide your essay into four paragraphs.
In the introduction show that you understand the topic.
In the second paragraph present points supporting
your argument.
Use linking expressions (see circled examples) to guide
your reader through your essay.
In the third paragraph present points against your
argument.
The fourth paragraph should be a conclusion
sum m arising the points for and against the argument.
COn balance)it seems that m obile phones have as m any
disadvantages as positive aspects.(^ o w ev e^)in some
situations they are indispensable. If you have a c ar accident
on a lonely road in the m iddle o f the night, it’s clear that
the quickest way to solve the problem is by m aking a phone
call. For this reason I, for one, am happier with my mobile
phone in my bag than w ithout it, and 1 would recom m end
th at every driver carries a phone with them at all times.

O ne o f the best books I have ever read is, in fact, the book
I am reading at the m om ent. It’s called The Bookseller o f
Kabul and was w ritten by a N orw egian jo u rnalist, Asne
Seierstad, who spent several m onths living in a traditional
A fghan family after the fall o f the Taliban.
Review
• In the first paragraph, present the title of
the film or book and give the name of the
director or author.
• In the second paragraph, sum m arise the plot
of the bo o ko rfilm .
• In the third paragraph, write what you liked
about it or describe the plot in more detail.
• At the end of the review, express your
opinion about the book / film and say
whether you recommend it or not.
Seierstad’s book is a collection o f stories told to her by the
different m em bers o f the family she lived with. F irst there
is the proud bookseller himself, w ho has spent all his life
protecting his books in ord er to bring the w ritten w ord to
the people o f Kabul. Then there are the reflections and
recollections o f his two wives, his children and his brothers
and sisters, which Seierstad reveals in such a sensitive and
intim ate way, that it is impossible to pul the book down.
However, The Bookseller o f Kabul is not merely the story o f
one A fghan family. It reflects the fight for survival that m ost
A fghans have had to lead during recent decades and, o f
course, the repression experienced by A fghan women.
As a work o f non-fiction, the book offers an insight into a
culture that m ost Europeans will never have the chance to
see. As a story, it is gripping. It is n o t surprising that this
book has becom e an international bestseller, and I would
recom m end it to anyone who wants to learn m ore about life
in this p a rt o f the world.
